Hola, Wonkvillians!
The time has come for FOOBALL!! Please join us in our terrible quest for whatever we decide is the trophy. It’s gonna be a shit year for everyone. Yay!!!
Our suggestions for this year: give roughly 9 bucks, and the winner will get an actual Sports Team Fleener (any sport!) of his/her choice. Think about it… a Bart Starr replica for weej, Shel and snow, a 49ers jersey for Close_Read, a Kirby Puckett onesie for Cmdr, terrible towel for Cally, a Barry Sanders wearable hanky for Vodka, and some nice Wildwood muscle shirts for the people from New Jersey (you know who you are).
If you don’t wanna give, it’s fine, we will get you whatever the hell you want as long as it’s under $100 and within reason. Except you, Zippy. You can’t have new headphones or a new Soundcraft 200B midi-muffler or whateverthefuck because those items are not under budget. We’re not sure when to hold this damn thing, because Zippy. We want Zippy to be an active part of our draft, but he’s always mixing shit for Grumpy Bob Dylan or something. : D
Email Cmdr at natl[dot]redacted[dot]cmdr at the geemail.
Just sent an e-mail. Not sure I understand entirely what we're up to here, but I want to be in on it in any event. And Vodka, if you see this, please let me know you're OK–I've been worried!
The 'giving' is just a suggestion. Nobody expects anything of anyone ever. (I love that sentence right now).
You know, it's like old Wonkville Fantasy Football, but with less Brady for everyone.
This would be a first year for me to participate, which seems like fun, but you all will probably make youge fun of me for being a Patriots fan, and so I'll just hide over here and never say anything ever again about the ball of foot, which is soccer where I am now anyway, so there.
Gli italiani call it calcio and are as incomprehensibly loony for it as any other non-US&A country. How anybody can be entertained by three hours of running up and down the field without any beer-commercial interruptions is as mysterious as the way they settle tie games with "penalty" kicks. Might as well flip a coin.
Pfft. I happened to be visiting my dad when England were playing Pakistan (at cricket, obvs), and we sat on hard seats for six hours play on the first day. Fans of the various forms of football lack stamina, and are clearly unfit to be president. But I'll chip in a few bucks and mismanage the Bladders again, if you'll allow me.
Okay, so now I'm even more confused. Are we doing a new league that we need to sign up for? Is the old one under new management? Is everything the same?
I may be a dense sumbitch, but I know an over-reaction when I see one. This electronic media sucks, what with no way to convey sarcasm, snark, or even tongue-in-cheek humor.
That said, I walked away from the front page a few weeks ago, myself.

I will donate 9 bucks just so I know someone is wearing it!
what the hell did I do?
(sign me up)
That was a ruse to get you here. You are missed.
That was overly Dramatica.
Battlestar Dramatica?

We never were a Brady Bunch.
So it's going to be like the last two times just with Cmdr running it instead of Vodka/Shel, right?
Cross out "grenade launcher", and write in "pizza oven"
And I am glad we are doing this. Watching the Olympics closing ceremony is giving me a sad. Dammit, it's over already?

The only church that truly feeds the soul, day in and day out, is the church of baseball. Go Sox!

Might be a |while|
Aw, shit. IDK how I missed this shitshow. Come back, Shel–we love you!
I agree, but I think this is absolute bullshit. FFS! I ain't gonna beg, but FF wouldn't be the same without.
Anyhoo, without further adieu, some stuff about our new league will be posted tomorrow.
Hawt
I like their look, and their sound.
|Golden Boy!|
I'd pick this guy, as he was so much fun to watch, even in B&W on a teensy teevee.

We lost another |valued contributor| that night as well. Makes me sad.
I really hoped that they'd come back sooner rather than later, but it seems like that moment ruined Wonkville for them.
WTF happened that night? Did we get MRA trolls or something?

Or conversely, humorless Jezzies inhabited some of our most beloved commenters for a sec.
