Say What?! for 8/15

In a moment of hilariously unfounded optimism, I'm posting this week's Say What?! in the hopes that the ensuing comment thread doesn't turn into an argument over something that happened six years ago.

This ain't fun anymore,

This ain't fun anymore, especially when a bully shows up and picks on a certain person every freaking week. I am taking my ball and going home. :(

Say what

Guy being tossed-Hey this was supposed to be the shovel ready transportation improvements for the stimulus!

Guy underneath-Yeah, but they didn't have any shovels!

Enough is enough

Mario and Ginxscy are hereby banned from Say What?! threads. Anything you post, even valid entires, will be deleted immediately.

You can post all you want about how I'm showing favoritism, or I'm being EXACTLY LIKE HITLER but at the end of the day I don't care. I've just lost my capacity to deal with what is supposed to be a fun game turning into a reason for arguments to start.

Mario, it was funny at first, but it's pretty obvious you're now just doing it to get a rise out of people. As much as I respect the impulse to be a jerk (it drives 90 percent of what I do) I'm done mopping up after it. You are free to do that elsewhere.

ST has consistently delivered some of the funniest entries in this field, and if (s)he is ready to call it quits, I then have a decision to make: stop doing Say What?! or ban the people who consistently stop it from being fun. And I kind of like Say What?!

CG only speaks for himself. Oh and btw, I have NEVER written ANY caption for "Say What".

"I have NEVER written ANY

"I have NEVER written ANY caption for "say what".

-And there lies the problem Gin.

You only come here to make snide comments (usually backing up your pal mario) instead of taking place in the "Say What" contest.

And, according to several recent comments that followed Matty's posting on the subject a few days ago, I don't think I "only speak for myself", on this one.

-I'm sure both of our posts will be deleted in a little while anyway, so what does it matter.....

Someone

asked me privately and very nicely to ignore you. Just so you know, I have - and will continue to do so.

Go ahead and have the last-soon-to-be-deleted-word.

Clearly

I'm the one posting the jabs at OG. Blame ME if you want, but taking it out on Ginxscy, who has done nothing but laugh, is a bit out of line and extreme, don't you think?

Btw Barry

Since I'm banned for laughing at Mario's comments, the following should qualify under the same rule. After all, this is the THIRD time you deleted his "Say What" comment.

You know what?

You're right. I shouldn't block either one of you.

I've thought about it, and I'm just not going to put Say What?! on the blogs anymore. I thought I could do something fun and refreshing on here that would give people something to do other than hold grudges against, and belittle the political beliefs of, one another. I was wrong.

Blinded by the light Barry?

There were only 2 bloggers who were getting a 'rise' out of my 'Say What" comments and guess what? My little commentaries were directed at neither. So by all means, have a nice life with ST. Who knows? Maybe you'll even end up with one of those pirate hats. You certainly have taken a giant first step.

At the end of the day

This constant bickering has drained every last bit of fun out of Say What?! I'll take a pirate hat over babysitting any day of the week.

According to the responses

According to the responses that were posted after Matty's blog a few days back, I'd say there are a lot more than "2 bloggers" who are fed up with your crap mario.

Yes, it did taste purple :(

Sorry to see this go, I enjoyed the creativity and silliness. I completely agree, now it's simply personal vendettas and I don't even look at them anymore. RIP Say WHAT!? RIP. Thanks for the times we enjoyed and I apologize for what this turned into, on behalf of the BT blogger. Because by golly you do NOT deserve this!

Oh! and I hope I got a BT point for not initiating any dog blogs :) I will respond, but not initiate :) And boyo, I got a million :)

And I won't even go into what tasting purple means to me... driving to the airport with my captain dad as a child getting off the highway to avoid tollbooths and he gave us grape juice and I had motion sickness ... purple taste will stay with me for the rest of my life and it isn't a good thing :(
