"I hate so much about the things... you choose to be."

puking in own mouth a little bit
although that was more of a global phenomenon.

still good when used in moderation

Also, a notice:
If you see a meme get posted in this thread that you think still has its uses, you may petition for reinstatement.

John Olerud Sucks

[incorrect, still funny]
Also not overused lately.

I'd have to disagree
I think Coach learned his lesson.  Time to let John Olerud suck in obscurity.

I concur
JOS still has its value
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Nah
too narrow + all played out.  

by marc w on Jan 31, 2008 1:36 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

But ba,d pu,nctu,ation still remains
As long as it is not done to Coach.

Similarly, John Olerud Sucks is still useful - It is  good way to respond to a new person who signs up and consistently says incorrect things.

drink more? that usualy doesnt work in terms of enhancing comprehension.

by Librocrat on Jan 31, 2008 1:38 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

I don't think that's proper usage
JOS is Coach Owens-specific. And now that he's gotten a lot better, it probably ought to be put on the shelf.

by Jeff on Jan 31, 2008 1:42 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Matt Sucks
That is all.

I would like to petition this

Did we really kill that one?
I would say it doesn't have a lot of play....

No way
KJHBS is awesome and should not be retired. It's just such a goddamn succinct way of making a point.

I come close to using "KJHBS" on other messageboards when it would be hilarious so many times but don't for it being inappropriate.

Keep it.

That's the opposite of this
I'm looking for a list of memes that LL has run into the ground with overuse. You know, like TWSS.

well then
I retract all my comments thus far

I was going to rebut this
because if Class Action Guy is done, then Surprised Face is done.

But then I couldn't get the html to work right.

My presence definately hurts more than it helps.

I have the thread on my favorites so I can show people just how amazingly wonderful LL is.

This one's relevant as long as McLaren is coaching this team.

I think that one is dead
even with Mac at the helm.

Yeah, wars jokes are over
So is the automatic tendency to say something about "grit" or "hustle" whenever Willie's name comes up.

I hope you mean

For The Win should stay
It's a good way to end a sub thread when you know your answer is ridiculously better than everyone else's

by Librocrat on Jan 31, 2008 1:35 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

For the win is alright,
But just "Win." by itself irritates me. It's just one of those terms that I could never see being used in real life.

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jan 31, 2008 1:48 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

With all the "For the win" that goes on
it has often surprised me that nobody has popularized the other Hollywood Squares reference:

For the block!

by tworsandtwols on Jan 31, 2008 2:05 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Probably 90% of the people that do it
don't realize it's a Hollywood Squares reference.

i didnt realize it until someone told me
and then i realized 'haha holy shit thats from hollywood squares!'

by seattlebruin on Jan 31, 2008 2:08 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

In real life
When I prove someone wrong, I end it by saying "And circle gets the square" and walking away.

To answer your next question, yes, I still have friends.

okay, truce
and how the hell did you know that I find Whoopi Goldberg to be the single unfunniest person in the history of ever - even less funny than Dane Cook?  I'm afraid of your intelligence-gathering capabilities.

I think you find the entire Blue Collar Tour worse

by Librocrat on Jan 31, 2008 2:17 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Honestly
I would sit through 30 min of the Blue Collar comics before I'd sit through 30 min of Whoopi Goldberg.

I'd take that one
because I could easily just tune out the voices and stare at Tyra.

I cannot agree with you there.

I can mock the blue collars
but every time Whoopi Goldberg opens her mouth I want to set myself on fire.

by pdb on Jan 31, 2008 2:22 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

But wouldn't it be efficient and entertaining
to simply set Whoopi Goldberg on fire?

by ningwers on Feb 1, 2008 6:49 AM PST to parent up   0 recs

To quote the Simpsons:
"I was a fool to think that anyone would want nude photos of Whoopi Goldberg."

Meh, I like "Win."
Gives credit to someone who made a funny or correct comment in a thread.

FTW is more sarcastic.

Speaking of getting there . . .
How exactly do the Orioles acquire Lillibridge again?

I'm not falling for that

That's what she said.
Sorry.
Bedard, you are one pathetic loser. No offense.

by The Alaskan on Jan 31, 2008 1:21 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

It'll go away
the minute the Bedard trade is concluded, one way or the other.  At least I'll stop doing it.

It is getting there
But we'll all get a good laugh once he finally breaks into the big leagues.  Or we'll get a big laugh when the Orioles flip Sherrill to Atlanta for him.

It's About Doing . . . What It Takes . . . to Win
Still, Wilfred Brimley in a Reds jersey saying, "It's about teammates" with a dejected look on his face was comedic gold.

I don't think memes should die
They are an important part of the blogs history. We should embrace them and carry them forward

Memes are fine
provided you're constantly generating new ones (like, for example, the Lillibridge one). It's boring and uncreative to keep recycling old stuff that's past its prime.
