"They Report, We Decide" is posted
« on: June 08, 2009, 06:38:24 pm »
I don’t do apostrophes worth a crap, and am entirely too comma and run on-sentence happy.  My elementary school teacher mom is ashamed of me as were my English teachers and my legal writing professors.  My paralegals have mocked me for years.  Still, I DON’T CARE.  If the correct use of apostrophes is important to you by all means DO NOT READ these posts.  Same goes for my comma overuse or my affinity for the run-on sentence.  Otherwise, I hope you enjoy!

So without further adieu, here you go: They Report, We Decide, (continued), Miscellaneous and Assclown of the Week Award (aka 'The Justice')

Wow, between the nightly PBP and all this, you are one hard-working dude. Very nice work, OSF!
I'm in love with rock and roll and I'll be out all night.

Thanks OSF, that's a lot of good work. I'm going to make a bold prediction that sportswriters from Chicago will be in strong contention for next week's Assclown Award.

Wow. Thanks for the props. I don't really deserve any. But you sure do for being a busy little beaver! And quality shit too. And I love the Justice! Can we vote on that?

Thanks all.  The pay is good, the hours aren't bad, I can't complain...

Happy: as for the vote for 'The Justice' (I am liking that name more and more and am contemplating AKA'ing it as 'Assclown of the Week'), would be happy to do it if there is an interest.

Well done, OSF.  Is this the type of thing that's on the "front page?"

Seriously, you're providing a much appreciated and enjoyed service.

Good stuff, OSF, keep it coming. I'm a huge proponent of run-on sentences, by the way.

These are excellent, by the way.  And are you going to do four a day?  Cool.

Nice job there OSF.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it

To be fair to the Dickties re: DL, they did employ Ken Griffey Jr. during that time period.

That was my thought exactly.  What is the Jr. adjusted total?
