Now this is how a gamer ought to read

That was fucking hilarious. Good call, Stupid.

And I especially love that it's on the edge of being something you might not get.

 

How'd they score 63 points if they never fired a shot?

 

i think he was referring to firearms.

 

This was one heck of a quote....

"Each time, we drew up a good play," said Way, whose daughter, Cassandra, was born in November without arms. "But I could see my guys were rattled, I could see the fear. These guys don't have any guts. They have two arms but it's a situation where they have no guts."

terrific stuff.

 

Wow. You should send this to the Onion or something. I bought it ... sort of. But dropped about 10 WTFs.

 

Interesting work. Not exactly "brilliant"
But a nice, light-hearted read once you accept the premise.
I enjoyed it.

 

OK, I still don't get it.

 

the guy tells the story of the small town draped in the gamer about the local HS basketball team's playoff loss. It's wry and sardonic and part of a new collection of short stories in a book by Alqonquin Press called "New Stories of the South" (which is why it's in the Lifestyles section of the Web site and not in Sports).

And some of you need to search your couches, scrape up some change and buy a clue. Jesus, I thought we were smarter than the average bears over here.

 

Yeah, Stupid, I got the premise and enjoyed it, actually. I just couldn't tell if it really ran in the newspaper, and which section. Thanks for clarifying.

 

C'mon, SF, it read "Lifestyles" right there on the page.

 

Seems like it might have worked better if there was somehting positive to add, like a kid who just learned he got a scholarship to State U.

Not everything is sad and freaky in a small town in the South. Just most things.

 

Geez, you're right... missed it.
