SWINDLE EMPIRE EXPANDS: DAS FANHAUS LAUNCHES.

PrintFeel, feel, feel my bandwidth: the Swindle Empire, all three square semantic feet of it, has expanded to AOL in the form of Das Fanhaus.
The Fanhaus is an excuse to do several things at once.
First, it's our excuse to validate a degree in international affairs. Seriously, it hasn't made us a dime yet, and it's time to get some of that sweet student loan money back. Compound interest is a bitch, y'all, and she's not getting any friendlier.
Second, we can post about international sports, which means we can literally post anything we want. Seriously: by definition, EVERYTHING is international sport. Even this:
The beast has beat the man! Suck it, little people!
And third, it's an excuse to fulfill our dream of including a Youtube Clip with every single post and simultaneously write about some of the constant derangement of international sport we can't really shoehorn into a college football blog. It won't interfere with EDSBS, mostly because it's stuff we're reading about and IM'ing with friends about anyway. In that respect, it might actually improve our productivity, since we spend half the day chatting with Weo Tai and sending each other Mercenaries 2 preview and bike crash videos. Now we can just write about them and be done with it.
So stop on by. You have nothing to gain but lost productivity at work, proletarians!

It’s Orson’s internet, and we’re just surfing it.

What about college football in Mexico? Where would that fall?

So you and CFB have come to some “arrangement” about you seeing other sports?
Just remember, when that goes bad it’s the kids (I mean us, of course), who are going to be the real victems.

It’s times like these that I H-A-T-E the fact that Big Brother at work has blocked YouTube AND IM. I’m quitting. Now.
We won’t have to read about soccer, will we? Anything but soccer.

Curling? You’ll cover curling? Not that I’m requesting, just curious…
Actually I’d like a rundown on those Borneo jumpers who tie a vine to their ankles and leap off extremely high scaffolding…sort of Jungle Bungie jumping, but without the elastic absorption effect. Dependent on the quality of your coverage it may gain popularity…just sayin’.

I like it whenever the beast beats the man.
I will add you to my list of EPL blogs to check on a regular basis – joining Kanu and DC Trojan. Will there be any Australian Rules Football discussion?

I understand your urge to try new things. But you’d better wear protection!
I don’t want you bringin home some shit and givin it to me!

Just damn! A full 3 minutes and 11 seconds, and all the time, I was gleefully awaiting for that elephant to go… well, elephant. And such a target rich environment, just imagine the carnage resulting from a short lived rampage. All those little peple harnessed together, one stomp could easily gain two or three splats!

Warning, the guy in this video would probably welcome a Tamba Hali style annihilation.

I find it hard to believe Bono supports Mercenaries and their one man crew of destruction.Either way, I’m excited.

orson – I await watching this video on a non-work computer.
The original Mercenaries only deepened my love for Miss Wheat as when she saw a commercial for it she said “you should get that game, looks like all you do is blow shit up and that could be fun”.

All right, now for the important question: Are you allowed to say “motherfucker” on AOL’s dime?
by Holly on Jun 5, 2007 12:32 PM EDT reply actions
Thank you, Holly…everybody else was just dancin’ around the only real question…
by sb on Jun 5, 2007 12:49 PM EDT reply actions
That would be no. But motherfuckers reign and rain here, motherfuckers.

So then I’m guessing the rugby coverage will be relatively drinking song free?

Aww, this is too bad. I know the $$ are nice, but Fan House jobs always seem to degrade the original blogs. See Mighty MJD – nothing interesting has happened on that site in a year.

But… but we wanna read “motherfucker” there.

Curling? Sweet! Looking forward to Orson’s witty insight on the roaring game. Gotta love a sport where the players are shouting commands straight out of a porno. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry-Haaaaaard!! Haaaard! Whoa Whoa!!

Does this affect EDSBS Live ?
Subquestion: Will you allow pink font at AOL?

It didn’t seem like a fair fight. The elephant’s handler was much more active than the other guy. The show should have gone the extra mile to find a handler specializing in communicatin’ with midgets.

yay… Futbol, too! just please lay off newcastle, we’re the orioles of the EPL

Please tell me you’re joining AOL Time Warner as a bid to become Atlanta’s greatest media mogul. Because Ted Turner…come on…i mean fuck that guy.

short people got no reason
no reason to live
they got little feet, lilttle hands
little cars that go beep beep beep…

randy newman is vindicated 25 years later.
