Two-Day Beef Barbecue (Day 2), A Roto Message Board Highlight

Written by Worm on August 04, 2005

The night shift kicks in…

TiVo: [Ape wrote: “Yeah, I'm furious.

Are you going to give me a call to see if I'm alright?”]

Holy crap. First off, funny line there Ape. But there's been a bunch of funny ones from all parties.

I'm reading this in one fell swoop, sorta from its Page 8 genesis, and it's cracking me up.

I love how the beef transferred from senseless Junky vs. Xach to Ape getting in the middle of it.

Back to reading.

Ape: Coming back to it.

I just thought if I beefed it up with Junky it would be more entertaining for me, and probably everyone else than the conversation where Junky accused Xach of having to google knowledge about the Broad Street Bullies and Xach trying unsuccessfully to tell Junky that that is precisely what he had done....

And it worked.

Although I still find it amusing that Junk reads all my posts like I'm sitting at my desk on the verge of tears.

Makes me wonder if he is.

Father Time: It was very funny G-Rated beef. I thank all parties invorved.

Junky: Jermaine stop teasing.

Ape: Latoya, Tito, Jermaine

TiVo: Definitely. Junky had a minor point about Xach fakin the knowledge funk, but he was reaching to call people senti. Ape jumped in for no reason, except to perhaps prove that he doesn't always take Junky's side.

All in all, a good way to spend 10 minutes reading. Some people like to read Moby Dick, I like y'all dickheads.

Xach: Just for the record, he had no point at all. Carry on.

Doctor Furious: I went through the whole thread (while I should have been doing work) and I do not think that anyone really got senti.

Junky does like to pull the early "you're senti" card which I think is a little inherently senti.

in·her·ent ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-hîrnt, -hr-)
adj.
Existing as an essential constituent or characteristic; intrinsic.

I just wanted to post a definition. I'm wickhed smaht.

Ricky: (is blown away by the breadth and depth of Doc Fury's intelligence)

Junky: He got senti right here.
There is really no doubt.

[To me, this thread looks like Junky is obsessed with Xach. Very obsessed.

What, like your hidden obsession with me?

Kinda up to you dude.

Seems like your busy trying to 'get' Xach for knowing the name of a guy on the Flyers in the 70's.

I wouldn't want to interrupt your important work.]

Ape: Junk you reach for senti with the go-go gadget arms. You've got to be kidding.

How is it that when someone makes the obsessed joke to you, they are being senti? But you just come firing from the hip with 'you're so senti' and you are not.

I think you have some denial issues mang. You can get help for that.

But yeah, I'm 'clearly senti' there. (eye roll)

Junky: denial issues about what?

Well Ape. I was beefing with Xach, and you kept being like Junky's obsessed with you, he's obsessed with you, hey look at me, hey! So i addressed you and you got pissy.

"You're hidden obsession with me" Yeah right dude. I'm obsessed with you. that's not even the senti part. it was the last line "I wouldn't want to interrupt your important work. "

That just reads bitchy to me and I call em like I see/read em. You'll notice that the people saying I use senti too much are the people I call senti.

Ape: and that doesn't read bitchy?

I'm confused Junky, you've already had your poll? Obviously that hasn't scratched the itch.

You can't accept the fact that you were lamely all over Xach's nuts, as everyone agreed, and I decided to join in and create something that was at least entertaining, as, again, everyone agreed.

You need to stop taking yourself so seriously. It's like you are in law school for proving sentiness. Get over it dude, it ain't a big deal.

I get senti all the time without you having to mince up some scrap to make yourself feel better.

Junky: Why is it that whenever you have an opinion you make up that everyone agrees?

Do you live in reality or do you really believe that you are infallable?

Ricky: (lives in reality and is infallible)

Ape: [Junky wrote: “denial issues about what?”]

About the fact that the first thing you do anytime someone is making fun of you is call them 'senti' and then just cling to it despite the fact that there really is nothing there.

You do it all the time. Like clock work. It's lame.

Ricky: Yeah, JUNKY! (scowls)

Junky: That's just simply not true. I call someone senti when i percieve them getting bitchy. I just think you Doctor Furious and TiVo get bitchy alot. I take myself a lot less seriously than you take yourself.

Ape: You just think you do because it makes you feel better about yourself.

I don't take myself seriously at all. The only person who honestly thinks I do, not surprisingly, is you.

Junky: No. Actually lots of people do, you're just arguing with me right now. If Ricky said the same thing, you would tell him he was the only one.

Also I know you don't understand the difference but I was teasing Xach. for being Xach. Being on his nuts would be like that little "Hey Spike" dog. I don't want to be Xach. I think he's quirky in ways that entertain me, and I like to tease him and watch him get all worked up. You do this too, which is why I thought it was funny that you were so eager to point out my "obsession" with him.

Ricky: Hey Junk, didn't you lead the charge to stop the use of senti back in the day, because it was dumb and overused? (thinks Junky is like Xach and does what is convenient for him.)

Junky: Yeah, it didn't work. If you can't beat em, get em back.

Ricky: nair efough.

Ape: Oh, the I have an ego thrust of Jim's arsenal (is scared)

Well, here's everybody sucka

The funny thing is that Xach comes out of this thread smelling like roses, and, well, that's funny considering I'd prolly vote him the rotogod most likely to skip a shower.

I think no one really got senti in this beef and the only thing funny about it was how desperately petulant it read.

Ape obviously tried to blow up Junky, and then they both got pissy with each other. I don't see how any senti happened or if any beef got won. still it's funner than making sales calls.”]

[Father Time wrote: “(thinks this entire argument's funny)”]

As for who thought it was funny before I jumped in?

Well I'm still looking for those quotes and i know I will never find them becasue 'no one' wrote them.

you are exposed.

So Solly.

Junky: Exposed? Are you kidding? Good thing you're not involved in the justice system.

Ricky: Uh....Ape....what was that string of quotes supposed to prove? The only one who really implied that you made it funny was El, which isn't surprising. The other two just say the "whole argument" is funny. (wonders if Ape sees something I don't. begins to believe Ape does actually live in a fantasy world)

Junky: The calling out of every argument I make to make it seem like ihave a bag of trick part of Ape's arsenal.

Ape: Please dude. You tease Xach whenever he opens his mouth. You may not want to be him, but you like making yourself feel better by picking at him. I do feel it is an obsession of yours to do this.

Sorry.

Ricky: There is definitely some trooth to this.

Junky: Of course there is.

Ape: [Ricky wrote: ” Uh....Ape....what was that string of quotes supposed to prove?”]

It proved that everyone thought the argument was funny

It wasn't funny before I jumped in.

Luckily for us all, neither junk nor I work in the justice system.

Ape does live on rotogods.com.

Takes himself very very seriously as well.

Ricky: Ah, but nobody said it wasn't funny before you jumped in. Except for you.

Junky: I also feel just fine about myself. I don't say things like you take yourself more seriously than I take myself because I need to reassure myself. I say it because I think it's true. I say it because when I play basketball with you you get extremely worked up when we lose. I say it because when someone makes fun of you, you instantly get super defensive. I say it because anyone who disagrees with you instantly get exposo your so stupid everyone thinks so argument. I'm simply not as reactionary as you are.

Ape: Who besides you thinks I take myself 'a lot more seriously' than you do? And in what context? I'm curious.

You think I'm serious when I beef on this site? Do you think it makes me uptight in real life?

When have we ever been hanging out, person to person, and I've been the guy taking things too seriously? I doubt you can name one time, so I really wish you'd stop with the BS on this one.

Junky: Listen to yourself right now. I can tell you that I've taken things too seriously before. I'm not naming names either.

Ape: Listen to yourself right now. You just keep hammering at me and don't give one example when we're hanging out and I'm not chill.

Get off my dick, for real.

Junky: [Ape wrote: “Please dude. You tease Xach whenever he opens his mouth. You may not want to be him, but you like making yourself feel better by picking at him. I do feel it is an obsession of yours to do this.

Sorry.”]

You do this too, all the time. My point all along was that if I'm obsessed so are you. You can't honestly deny this unless you are Rafael Palmeiro

Ape: Big difference...I do it when he challenges me on stuff directly. You do it anywhere anytime, no matter what.

Like the hockey thing yesterday...dude said he randomly knew a name of one of the 'bullies' and you had to be on his ass hair like a fly on shit. Why?

Junky: Complete bullshit.

Dude every argument you make is about how infallible you are. Check yourself man, you ain't perfect. Nobody is.

I don't mince. I don't make fun of him unless he makes fun of me. Dude you prove my point for me everytime you type.

Ape: Sure guy. Suuuuuure.

Junky: and why? For my own entertainment. To start shit.

So you don't challenge Xach directly on almost anything whenever you feel so inclined. Remember there are annuals of evidence on this. You do this all the time, and yesterday, for whatever reason you felt like calling me out for it. Which is totally fine. I ignored you for three posts when finally I was like "OK, Ape wants to grill some beef." You call me out for having denial issues and obsession issues, and then get mad defensive when I say you take yourself too seriously and you're being senti.

Ricky: (wonders how long this will go on)

Junky: Are you bored?

Ricky: Slightly. I'd enjoy a beef with more substance. At least pull out some quotes or something.

Ape: The only person who brings up me and perfect is always you. I've never claimed to be.

However, it is interesting to note that you will not concede a single point despite the fact that you 'don't take yourself seriously at all'.

Stop being a hypocrite and get off me with this 'I think I'm perfect crap'. I'm far more humble than you are. I ask for advice when I need it. I don't presume to tell people what their flaws are, particularly when I have the exact same ones.

My tone on rotogods.com may be more argumentative and bombastic on the whole, but, what? We retread this crap everytime something like this goes down? That's what I do here. It makes things interesting. I could just be another dude who plays the back and just tries to pile on...Would you prefer that? Would it make things better?

Or can you let me fucking live without dadding me up like I'm an egocentric asshole?

'You prove it with everything you right'. Dude, fuck that. You prove that you can't separate rotogods beef with reality, which means, you are the one taking shit that goes on here way too seriously. It would help out tremendously if you would recognize that for once, so we could stop having this discussion every few months.

Junky: I have conceded points here, you haven't. Someone said something about the Xach thing and I said yeah that's probably true. Ricky said I was leading the charge against senti and I said yeah, but it didn't work. What have you conceded? How are you more humble than me? You don't presume to tell people what their flaws are when you did exactly that to me in this very argument. Let you live without dadding you up? You first.

Ape: No you first. You started it.

Junky: No, YOU!

Ape: I'm sorry, I won't dad you up anymore

Junky: Cool. I won't dad you either, until next time when I do.

Ricky: [photo of big man hug]

Ape: (puts sticky note on letter bomb, writes 'save till next time' on it)

Junky: Don't be sending me bombs.

THE END

FOR REAL

WELL, NOT REALLY, BUT THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NOW
