11/26: Bears at Green Bay, 7:30 on NBC (Thursday night)
Banedon replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
I understand very little of the post. You haven't watched the games? They play once a week. This isn't some grueling marathon. This is the only game you've really wanted them to win? I don't even know what this means. he was kind of all-in on the bears being bad, despite the fact that i have repeatedly told him that they are not. Yep. I was in tank mode very early on. And it took more than a couple wins for me to come around. -

I have not been watching this team all season. But I definitely watched last night, and was the only game all season I actually wanted to win really badly. In Lambeau, with freaking Favre in the booth for nearly the whole damn 2nd half.... So satisfying. -
I'm aware, and I don't give a [expletive]. He invented Graphics Interchange Format...hard G on graphics, btw. That doesn't somehow give him license on the pronunciation of the acronym...especially when the whole argument in this thread is that we shouldn't be pronouncing them as words at all anyway. At the very least, there's much disagreement about it. http://howtoreallypronouncegif.com/

Pardon? Like the idea of trying to be good the next 2 seasons. Don't get the window idea. I'd pretty [expletive] pissed if the Cubs went through all the losing they did just for a 2 year window.

Still don't get why people don't just say the letters in GIF like every other 3 letter acronym (USA, GOP, NBA, LED, POW, etc). There's other computer/internet related acronyms that are that way too...*shrug* LOL RAM ROM DOS FAQ GUI pronounced with each letter individually or as a word? because there's definitely differences in how those are handled; "lol' is always said "l-o-l" but ram is just ram. dos can be dos when referring to the operating system, but it's d-o-s when referring to a denial of service attack. gui is pronounced "gooey". faq is f-a-q. gif is pronounced jif unless you learned about the file format because of memes or don't have the awareness to realize that making the noise "gif" with your mouth sounds like an involuntary body function and not a word that is being used to communicate something All of the ones I listed, while not always, are frequently pronounced as words...including lol and faq, as have been discussed earlier in the thread. And Gif should be pronounced with a hard G unless you say the word "gift" as "jift".

que? It wouldn't take it until I spelled it with one t, which is wrong. http://i.imgur.com/nREkJZZ.gif

If there is someone you want to see a particular post You mean, like, if you wanted to forward a post to somebody to make sure they saw it? Why? Can't you just pm them? No, like if he was making a grumpy old man post he could tag you and you'd get a notification so you'd see it. The same thing that is currently accomplished by PM'ing a link to said post.

There's a past tense form of fake? ...... faked?

So you want NSBB to just flat out be facebook.

I might say FAQ as a word when I'm reading it, but if I was talking to anyone in person I'd say either F-A-Q or even Frequently Asked Questions because duh.
-
Yes.

New York media has been trying to get Starlin Castro for ages. Granted, it's usually the Mets. -
It's a fair split between saying the letters and saying "lawl".

First time I ever heard of "meme" thought it was pronounced "Mee Mee" or "May May". I may have eventually come around to the right pronunciation on this, but I'm still sticking with a hard G for gif, and [expletive] anyone that says different.
-
Now list the teams that Starlin Castro played for, and how many times he complained.

Yeah, I mean...I'd get over it if the Cubs signed him, but for a lot of reasons, I've grown to just plain ol' dislike the guy.

She was really getting on some press on twitter this morning for reporting this crap, specifically Rob Demovsky.

That was rumored yesterday in less detail. I like it.

The Quotable Joe Maddon (pure goodness thread)
Banedon replied to RynoRules's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think I'm enjoying the Cardinal fan consternation over Maddon winning than I am Maddon actually winning. -
You want to give up a prodigious masher of dongs because he might look silly on a fly ball here or there.
