Mr. Abooey, trolling Red Sox fans is not nice (Diaries)

llimllib's Diary

This has been two days in a row. The members of the K5RSA (K5 Red Sox Alliance) demand, on penalty of severe taunting, that you cease and desist. And the Indians suck.

In other news, moving out sucks, The Matrix deux might suck (but I sure don't want to hear your thoughts about it), and trolls definitely suck. Read on.


I'm in a ranting mood, and this seems the place for it:
  • This is THE year for the Red Sox. It just is. If you don't think so, then you're wrong. Nomah is taking the Sox all the way.
  • Moving out sucks. I'm not moving until next week, but I've been helping friends move all day. They're at our storage locker right now, and I will continue moving shit when they return to pick up the last load.
  • As predicted, there are too many links to thoughts about the Matrix. Also as predicted, I don't care, you probably don't care, and the people who find their thoughts so important that they need to tell us about The Matrix really shouldn't care.
  • That's the second time in this diary I've used repetition. Repetition. Maybe I should stop. stop.
  • Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Cux is the least clever troll around? At least the other ones can occasionally come up with something amusing. Cux, could you pick it up, please?
  • Now that my venom has been spat, some happier thoughts. How would you write an anti-blog? what would that consist of? what is the opposite of blog?

It has come to my attention that you have made some serious accusations in said diary regarding the behaviour of a certain upstanding member of the K5 community.

I have taken it upon myself to investigate said accusations and it would turn out that the afformentioned member was simply stating the facts, as they are clearly documented on the Internet, and as such does not constitute as trolling.

Nay, my fine chap, I should say that if the facts are hard for you to deal with then perhaps you need to root for another "team."

And here's looking to the traditional Sept. Bosox fade!!

Good Day.

Warmest Regards,
-Sir Robert Abooey

I regret to inform you that I disagree. In fact your main premise is entirely untrue - that true facts cannot be used to troll.

Allow, for a moment, that Saddam Hussein did indeed gas his own people. Would not A Proud American still be trolling when he says that? I feel that he most certainly would be, and that, therefore, true facts can in fact be used as "troll bait".

Finally, as a Red Sox fan, I have the miraculous ability to always believe that it is THE year, and therefore the total inability to root for another team. I thank you, however, for your suggestion and your time.


Peace.

No matter HOW bad your team sucks, they will NEVER suX0r as bad as the Cubs! That piss poor team hasn't been in the World Series since 1948 and hasn't WON the world series since 1908!

Chicago fans have TWO sucky baseball teams.

GO, CARDS!

of taking a penant as the Marlins do of finishing above .500

Every year is Boston's 'year'.  That is until September, when they realize that they're just too lazy to finish anything.

being a Red Sox fan means convincing yourself that last year, you were deluded (and/or outside events caused the eventual failure), but that this year really is the year.

In conclusion, this year really is THE year.

Look, I've got this one. (3.66 / 3) (#6)

As much as I am in love with the Mariners ('cept Freddy -- what's goin' on, Freddy?), I concede: it's not their year.

This is THE year for the Red Sox. It just is. If you don't think so, then you're wrong. Nomah is taking the Sox all the way.

But it's not quite theirs either. See, the Red Sox will make it to the World Series this year, but they'll lose in Game 7. The National League team I couldn't begin to guess, but you know, all that really matters is that the Yankees blow another chance.

How the Red Sox and the Yankees bitches year after year.

The Sox and Yanks are rivals. This is a part of what rivals do. What fun would it be without it?
