Ban "humor" on AN?

by jrfelix on Jul 15, 2005 1:51 PM PDT

AN has had a serious problem lately, and I think all of you know what I'm talking about. During so called "game-threads," certain individuals (cough*cough*Nico) like to make "jokes."

Now jokes are all fine and dandy in separate non-game diaries. You could label them OFF-TOPIC:HUMOR. But making wisecracks when we're trying desperately to analyze the game is very distracting.

Who's with me?

Just one question:

How many "banning" diaries does it take to change a light bulb?

Another Ban?

I noticed I have created an air of cheesy-ness on several diaries, so a "ban nacho talk" thread would be in order.

Here is my top ten list of other people / discusions we should ban:

People who have never been to the stomper fun zone
People who wont pass food down the aisle when you order from the green shirted guys
People who park in the BART lot but dont take BART (GUILTY!)
People who have been to more than five games at SBC park (games that wernt vs. the A's) (GUILTY!)
People who think the guys selling $5 A's hats on the BART walkway are criminals (GUILTY!)
People who think the sax player on the BART walkway is pretty good, but never give him money (GUILTY!)
People who have gotten to an A's game at 7AM to get a bobblehead, eventhough they still had some available at 1230pm (GUILTY)
People who have chosen to FIRE MACHA NOW! in AN polls (GUILTY!)
People who post top ten lists (GUILTY!)
People who DONT think Bonds is on roids. (not guilty)

Oops.

1, 5, 8, 9, 10 for me.

...you wonder when it's time to start thinking about saving a season that seemed lost.

That's nacho talk!

That's my talk!

Excellent post!

The one about the sax player on the ramp made me laugh!

I'm easily distracted by those AVP advertisements

I bought one of those hats

Are you trying to tell me they are not officially licensed by MLB? I thought they were just selling overstocked items. I guess the logo should have tipped me off.

How about...

We ban "banning" diaries on AN?

Sure the kid could swing the stick...

But how would he do in the field, and when he has to wear a baseball uniform?
