Tomorrow: back to normal, whatever that is.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess:
(1) Drew says "fuck" a lot;
(2) Craggs points out a factual inaccuracy in something Joe Morgan said during Sunday Night Baseball;
(3) Dashiell makes multiple spelling and grammar mistakes, which are then quickly corrected when someone marks a snarky comment about them;
(4) Small children are comically mauled by sheep;
(5) Erin Andrews;
(6) Erin Andrews;
(7) AJ puts up a DUAN post by 6 PM, which thanks us for our continued support of Deadspin.
I'm going the Woody Paige route: no on Barkley because he never mailed me back with his autograph when I was ten. But yes on Dykstra, because he's giving so much work to bankruptcy lawyers.
" Come keep me company and watch the potential shitshow I may unleash story-wise. You thought EA was bad? Anyway, you've been warned."
Does it have anything to do with what went on between Bubba and the two Asians on the flight back from North Korea? Because I'm all ears.
I'm sorry. I know this happens every year. I've been a commenter here for about three years. I spend 2/3 of my workday trying to think of funny comments to post, and .01% of my workday succeeding.
In those three years, there have been some constant sources of hilarity. Memes that went far beyond Kige levels of passing fads. Ned was one. Isiah was one. Even the stupid fucking dinosaur was one.
Barbaro and SAS are two.
Barbaro, the Dee Mirich poems, the nutjob message board wars...that shit is timeless. Reminds me of the halcyon days of this here webbed site.
Does nobody remember Stephen A Smith starting his non-blog blog? The Deadspin field trip to a taping of Quite Frankly? The hilarity of the Heckling Society of Gentlemen, all made possible by Stephen A.'s love of cheesy doodles and honest belief that EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS IMPORTANT? He is a Deadspin staple and his induction would only be right.
@Kid Canada:
We few, we happy few, we band of commenters;
For he to-day that sheds his vote with me
Shall be my friend; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in DUAN now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their stars cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Barbaro's day.
@Kid Canada: As another longtime commenter, I agree with everything my eloquent Canuck friend here has said. So I will simply reiterative his sentiment - WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE VOTE FOR BARBARO AND SAS. NOTHING IN MY WORLD WOULD MAKE ME HAPPIER THEN THEIR ENSHRINEMNT AND I HAVE A WIFE AND KID AND SHIT.
Thank you.
@Kid Canada: For an opposing view point* -
Barabaro was the horse - and the joke - that would not die. "Affirmed" became the "Good morning Andrea" of commenting, used too often when people had nothing else to say.
Dee Mirch, the message board and the horse racing loons existed without Deadspin. Making fun of nut jobs is like shooting fish in a barrel, and ultimately not that interesting.
I would rather see Darren Prince and his Blackberry - talk about a comedy pyramid! - in the DSHOF before Barbaro.

@Kid Canada: For me, if Barbaro isn't in, it is not a Hall Of Fame. It is a Hall of Kinda Funny. Ned is in and BArbaro isn't? Are you fucking kidding me? And yes, at 7:14 am I am still drunk from last night, but the repair guy will be here between 7 and 11 this mornign so you get this.

This is a maid speaking, by the way.

Hey, Darren Prince has gotten more women in the past day than I have in my entire life.
