@ OoC: Reminds me of the joke about the guy who hates picking up after his dog, so he feeds it condoms hoping it will shit in plastic bags.

How did everyone miss this self-pwning?

“Too bad this post was from a different site a few days ago. Know I can see why she went to NC State you plagiarizer you.”

Brilliant. I’d say that Craig is a UNC fan, but that would assume that some of them are actually aware of college football. I’d say that Craig is an ECU fan, but that would assume that some of them actually have internet access (are prisoners ever allowed to go online?). So I’m at a loss.

When I was a kid, my dog ate a whole damn loaf of Sunbeam bread, plastic and all. Later when he shit, he shit little turds that were linked together by the now shit-stained and twisted plastic bag. Is that what you’re talking about?

The confusion in this thread (not over who would or wouldn’t fuck Jenn Sterger if given the opportunity, but about the author of the linked rules) brings up an issue of blogging etiquette. The currency of the intertubes is hits. The proprietress of the site to which Orson linked cut and pasted the entirety of someone else’s work to her blog. I don’t know what that is, but it’s not fair use, even with proper attribution. More importantly, she robbed the original author of hits. No one needs to hit the link to the original piece since it’s all right there. Basically, it’s shit-linking.

Now, this puts every blogger who sees the rules on the Growing Up Southern site in a bad spot. Do they link to the original piece with a tip to Growing Up Southern? If they go that route, very few people will hit Growing Up Southern, so it’s basically a shit-link. Do they link to Growing Up Southern instead, thus denying the original author the traffic, like Orson did here? I don’t know.

(By the way, please don’t take any of this as a criticism of our fine hosts. Having authored a now-failed blog for a time, I know doing this shit is really, really hard. Doing it as well as EDSBS has for as long as it has is nothing short of remarkable. I just thought the question of etiquette was interesting. I’m probably the only one.)

Ninja,

You had me scared there for a minute. [cracks blinds slightly, looks outside, sees several unsavory tan people, falls to ground curled in a ball]

Anyone else notice that Foxsports.com censored the words “erect” and “monkey”. I imagine EDSBS would show up as one long string of ##### in Fox land.

Seriously…monkey?

Orson, allow me to speak for both of us – I wouldn’t do J*** S******* with a stolen penis.

I call B.S. fine sir. And I�ll copy and paste the logo and return it next time Jenn Sterger is called �orange� or you claim you �wouldn�t touch her.�

We try not to mention…that…around here. But for the record: no. Not for money, and not even for large amounts of money.

@27:

Dude, I didn’t mean that literally. That’d be crazy talk.

Ah. That also explains why someone living in North Carolina would be watching GameDay at 7 a.m. PST.

Have you been outside? It’s fucking scary out there.

Orson, I think you have just won the interweb. Everyone else should just stop trying and go outside.
