SJ.com Style Guide!!! (running thread)

I brought it up pages and pages back, but if you'd like to expand on the entry, Gutter, by all means go ahead.

My memory gets hazy.

 

Ahh there it is ... the search function failed me.

 

A search for "Malodorous swill" will always hit pay dirt.

 

Somewhere Bill Simmons is singing.

Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of the corner shop
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day, we never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to ground
But he gets to his feet and he says..
What about me,
It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share,
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give...
Well there;s a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop
She been waiting back there, waiting for her dreams, her dreams walk in and out, they never stop
Well she's not too proud, to cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams
What about me, It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share,
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give...
So take a step back and see the little people
They may be young but they're the ones that make the big people big
So listen, as the whisper
"What about me?"

Now i'm standing on the corner, all the worlds gone home,
Nobody's changed, Nobody's been saved,
And i'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got
What about me,
It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share,
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more
What about me, It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share,
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more
You just take more
You just take more than you give
What about me...
What about me...
What about me...

 

Props for busting a Moving Pictures reference on us.

Amending Board pariahs to include

--Bill Simmons.

 

Pathetitard A putdown that is derived from "pathetic retard." Coined by Carrie_Bradshaw

 

What about Travishamockery: A combination of travesty, sham and mockery, origins of which elude me. This means something that is bogus, a joke, a sham or a mockery of a given subject.

 

Miller Light ad with the "King of Beer Campaign" Miller Light guy was all flustered saying it's a travesty, a sham and a mockery. Smush together = TRAVISHAMOCKERY

 

Bump. Adding a cheap, often meaningless post (the single word "bump" is commonly used) to get a dying thread back on the front page.

 

BYH, Disappearance of: Earlier this year our favourite Eight Second Man left the board prompting many to add BY to their screen names in hopes of luring him back (or maybe in hopes of keeping him away). Like the Prodigal Son (or Roger Clemens), he returned.

BYH Classic: I'll let the man himself explain his fascination with lame-ass hair metal videos and Night Ranger.

 

Or, something I needed during those fantastic sniff-sniff days.
