Couch Slouch

[JGrave]

I thought Norman Chad's column today was particularly poignant considering how often this topic is discussed amongst everyone here.  I also thought it was funny that it's buried way at the bottom of their online sports section.  I'm sure that's where they always put it though.

Ask The Slouch
Question: Major leaguers go to the minors to rehab after injuries.

Where do minor leaguers go?

LEE BAILEY Gahanna, Ohio

Answer: I believe the Pittsburgh Pirates have them all signed through 2012.



THAT, is pretty damn funny.

[Froback]

I liked the POW one.  Very creative.

Have we become so desensitized to irony that a story written with a complete lack of irony can be screamingly ironic?  He goes a long way to avoid naming his fellow chron hacks.

Not really ironic, just unfortunate?

I thought that was good luck- like getting shit on by a bird.

Chad doesn't live in this market, does he?  I thought he was a syndicated columnist.  Just askin', 'cuz I don't really know.

You would be correct.  And his Couch Slouch Q&As are far funnier than his typical columns.

Even better.  Not sure if the Chron is obligated to print all his articles.  If they just blindly printed it, that's even funnier.

[ybbodeus]

Irony times three...heck, exponential irony.

He shows up every Tuesday in the actual paper...no idea if it's more or less online.

You know, I learned recently that avian species do not have sphincter control, meaning that they just fly around with shit periodically shooting out of their asses. I have no idea why, but this immediately brought Richard Justice to mind.

That's ridiculous. Richard Justice can't fly.

Good thing.

But boy would we all like to see him try, say of the top of the building the Chronicle calls home.

You may get your wish, there is someone on top of the chron building right now peeking over the edge. He is sporting a hard hat though, so I guess he's safe.

In the MMP Press Box, Justice has a hole cut in his chair. He views the game and squirts outs his story on to some newsprint before leaving. Dick waves bye to The Jesus, who is in the corner of the room in front of a full length mirror staring at himself as he masturbates, pumping splooge for his next submission to the chron. Then just before he walks out the door, Justice pauses to scoff and grunt with utter disdain at the hard working red-head chick typing away laboriously at her laptop.

I have "shitty" luck and I was shit on by a bird---ironically at MMP. Little bastard flew over and got me on the arm.

Way to bring it full circle

Are you sure you weren't sitting under the press box? You might have gotten splashed with "ink" from a Chron writer.
