I posted all that I have. oh well.

boo on the new rule.
having said that, i've got 30 on undo to take the entire thing....damnit, i've got to go, can someone tivo this shit? thanks.

This is the first complaint I've heard about this. Takes an iota of the randomness out of it, which I think is a good thing.

Should I be worried about this MattW kid? Isn't he the dude who spends hours debating the merits of various midwestern sports franchises over in Et Cetera?

Shit! I'm matched up against kessler.

[Note to self: add extra returns under my post with initials at the bottom.]

randomness was the best thing about this tourney. Now it's all corporate or something. Used to be like the wild west. most had no clue what was happening. now it's got fine print. one more victory for "the man".

If this was a drinking contest, I might have a chance. But as it is, I expect to get spanked. Sounds good to me.

Well, he is a Brit!

wow

did i miss it

Yeah. It was beautiful, though unmercifully brief.

very anticlimactic. who won?

so seriously, what happened?

Yeah, this rules so far.

I took off work for this.

You're drinking, though, aren't you?

i think what he meant was that starting at noon today, all posts are eligible and the games will start, in theory. i think all of the judges are writing and getting ready to post as i speak but too lazy to complete. anyway, yea. noon.

Well then.

good thread

Thanks velocity for alerting me to this fantastic competition, but my last five posts will have to stand. They separately include gaying off about my dogs and calling male Timberlake lovers pussies. My personal bundle of contradictions will be exposed to the light of day and my humiliation will be total. Game on.

Let's see, while everyone else has been posting pictures of breasts and asses, I've been posting about Patti Smith, Amy Winehouse and Richard Thompson. With Amy having gone all Kate and Ashley, I'm not sure there's a single breast or butt among the three of them.

Yeah, I have a chance.

Yeah, I have a chance.

maybe next year, they'll make me a judge.

If that post counted, I'd vote for you. Or something. I have no idea what's going on here.

it's not too late to post a fart joke

Well, yeah.

I got back from the festival saying I'll take today off to detox and unpack my camping shit. Well, I've been unpacking my shit, so I suppose I'm about 50% for the day. I can live with that.

LIES! I don't think geo has even been on the board today. What kind of conspiracy are you trying to hide here?

baby, thrillho doesn't lie. thrillho just explains logically.

Well the thread title is delivering wonderfully.

We're up to our ears in both SOMB and madness.

thrillo is an asshat

aneg was a SOMB that had depth
I miss aneg the way I miss Hoosierbuff

yes we don't care where your name came from. it sucks

welcome it. welcome thrillho.

and you are seriously killing your chances at winning this thing by fighting with me and paddig your post count with gay shit.

why would I care about winning this?

shut up. you're gay. if it's not blatantly apparent that i don't want to win this thing please tell me what i could do to make it more so.

oh wait, were you dissing dragonfly or me?

haha, christ on a stick. let's all get in on the joke, okay. this game is just fun. let's not swear and be fuckers and complain about something so trivial as a game on a message board. this goes for all of you. even you in the back. you know who you are.

let's just have some god damned fun.

fine. i forgive you



Anyone who doesn't get this is too newbie for me

Andrew Gold Region Round One 14. Rocks and Blows vs. 19. dice






There was a time not too long ago (okay, a year ago) when a fairly middling swipe at the sadness of one of Tony's hey-I-knew-they-were-dead-first! posts would stand a reasonable chance of getting you into the second round. Welcome to the new tourney. The dice squad has seen a lot of changes over the past year: they've gone from creepy tales of awkward almost-encounters to spot-on wit and back again, to the point where one had to wonder if there was a multi-headed cabal that had gotten its hands on the dice name and password info. But they seem to have landed in a semi-compelling place: with a post that's equal parts well-informed and ill-advised, dice goes public with what he's seen in the locker room shower and pulls out the first win of the tournament.

dice 64, Rocks and Blows 59

great start, dice really comes off as a creep sometimes (no offense, he's also told several hilarious stories, especially the one about trying to hit on the girl in the library with a bookmark)

i'm glad I read your post. Regardless of dice's creep tendencies, his was the winning post in this matchup. I inadvertently switched the names at the bottom. Good lookin' out, War Eagle.

Remember when Dice was in a public restroom stall and there was some guy outside of it who was jerkin' his pee-pee? Good times.

Sufjan Stevens Round 1: 10 TKB IV--Terry Kath's Brain! vs. 23. MattDrufke





Terry Kath's Brain, reassembled nearly thirty years after it was torn apart by a single bullet, opens the match off by insulting Bhickman. A nice move, but it's the playbook of virtually every troll that has ever played on the SOMB. MattDrufke, on the other hand, rants about how the Phil Collins-era Genesis reunion is going to suck by listing their hit songs. A nice effort, but he's stating the obvious--Genesis without Peter Gabriel is like a BLT without the bacon; there's no soul. When it comes down to stating the obvious vs. insulting Bhickman, the insult will win every time. TKB wins a low-scoring game, but he needs to shape up his act if he wants to go far this year.


TKB IV--Terry Kath's Brain! 58, MattDrufke 47

Expected.

Sufjan Stevens Round 1: 16. Hans Christian Anderson vs. 17. Paul





Most of Paul's last 5 were dreadful. However, posting the first photo of Rorshach from the Watchmen movie owns pratically everything HCA posted (especially considering his strongest post was Pitchfork speculation). Another weak matchup, but Paul pulls away early and pulls off the upset.


Paul 67, Hans Christian Anderson 42

Andrew Gold Region Round One: 10. scarymuppet vs. 23. ginNY






Despite being represented by an astounding twenty-one teams, the 5 Things Conference does not get off to a good start. Laying waste to any preconceived notions of an East Coast bias, the ginNY squad is both lackluster and heinously turnover prone. From the insular better-p.m.'ed beginning to the insipid end (uh, we have an entire board dedicated to answering that last question--check it out), not one of her starting five acquits itself well. Most troubling is the indication that in a missive to a prospective employer, she was "super clever"--raising both the spectre that she's capable of clever and that, if that were actually true, she was only bringing that cleverness to bear off the board. Now's not the time to hide your light (real or imagined) under the proverbial bushel basket, folks. Ironically, scarymuppet provides an object lesson in how to do the mundane with flair, celebrating the merits of sloppy breakfasts and winning quite literally in flying colors.


scarymuppet 48, ginNY 25

Don Henley Region Round one: 11. Le Chaton vs. 22. Castaña









One might say that Castana fever is the rookie sensation that's sweeping the nation right now, and these people would be absolutely correct. While modestly seeded, Castana has a lot of fans out there hoping to see him bring home the gold in his first year participating, but he's going up against a seasoned player who knows how to play her "assets" on the court. Namely, her heaving bosom, something that, as can be plainly seen by castana's game, is a weakness of his.

Le Chaton entered the ring and immediately took off her pants and jacket, causing Castana to sweat profusely and stroke his blatantly engorged member. However, Castana was not to be taken out so easily, and quickly scored nine touchdowns in a row while keeping Le Chaton out of his end zone. Still, Le Chaton proved to be persistant, having the advantage that she had actually eaten breakfast that morning, she proved to be much more energetic in the ring, scoring three pointers and field goals and filling her fans with more jubilation than a rockist at a Wilco concert.

In the end, Le Chaton unveiled her special move, dropping her panties and placing the basketball into her flexible and vivacious cunt, she flexed her pelvic muscles, shooting the ball out of her pussy crevice from half court right into her teammates hands in an attempt for a game winning two pointer. However, the ball was covered with her thick, smoldering pussy juice. Causing her teammate to fumble the ball right into Castana's hands, as well as the game itself. From there on out, Castana's kung fu grip of the ball was what secured his victory, as he scored a game-winning slam dunk just as the buzzer sounded.

Upon interview, Le Chaton lamented sticking the entire basketball into her cunt. "I should've fired it out of my asshole instead."


Castana: 89. Le Chaton: 88

Ridiculously otm post.

Jeebus are Undercooked Sausage and geoneb already making this worlds better than last year. Kudos.

Castaña is a good guy, he peer edited my spanish homework for me

great game summarys so far, keep 'em coming. i hope this goes well into the evening.



exhibition grid!

Sufjan Stevens Region Round 1: 13. Held vs. 20. Hero





Finally, a good matchup! Here we have Held smacking down Damo, a bold move. Borat references may work against the babble of one Paul Edward Wagemann, but the bold strategy of Held stops Hero's joke dead in its tracks. Held crushes Hero in an astonishing blowout.

Held 78, Hero 61

I was rooting for such an outcome.
