In Apricot's Killfile

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Star-divide

In Apricot's Killfile

You'll find me in the game threads or
Perhaps the DLD
I'm shooting for a certain kind
Of notoriety.

It's not that I'm a bad guy, see,
Just look at my chill smile
It's only that I want to be
In Apricot's killfile.

In inning one, the A's are down
It's time to shout, "GAME OVER!"
I hardly need statistics, guys,
To prove it. Hear that, grover!?

And though you all are seeing red
It's not just my ill style.
I simply want to make my bed
In Apricot's killfile.

And in the third, the A's ahead
By just a run, you schmucks,
We yield a two-out single
And I let you know "THIS SUCKS!"

Although sometimes it's hit or miss
When spewing my shrill bile,
I'm merely searching for the bliss
Of Apricot's killfile.

It's now the sixth, we blow the lead
I'm screaming, "Haren! How?!
We shoulda pulled the pitcher!"
Time to "FIRE GEREN NOW!!!!!!"

I know there's one amenity
In comments that will rile--
That certain sweet serenity
Of Apricot's killfile.

If I insult throughout the game
It's not with acrimony.
The place I seek is loftier
The digs I want are tony.

I'll don my Yankee getup and
Spout expletives still vile
'Cause I want the swanky setup
In Apricot's killfile.

The final frame we tie; then win
And AN runs amok!
And I'm the only one who posts
A disappointed "F*%&!"

'Cause though we might've been the best
I'll turn up the swill dial
Still hoping that I'll get some rest
In Apricot's killfile.

Now you know the situation so
No need for enmity.
Here's an open invitation:
Be a game thread jerk like me.

Let's think up something nasty
That together we'll revile,
And all of you can join me then
In Apricot's killfile.
In Apricot's killfile.

A fitting tribute to GTJs (game thread jerks)

everywhere.  Long live GTJs!  Or should we say "jeety-jays"?

Yes you may find me crass and rude

A boor and juvenile
But I'll drag you all right down with me
In Apricot's killfile.

...

And when the game is out of hand
I turn to my pill vial
It turns my mood back into "bland"
As in Apricot's killfile

and if I kvetch enough, I guess,
you'll get to see me smile;
there's nothing I'd want to be on more
than Apricot's killfile
"San Jose A's of Fremont" is unseemly

Should I be flatterd or insulted?

How did I end up in this diddy?

I think it's cause your name rhymes

with "game over."

I see the usual suspects are here


                             VERBAL (V.O.)
               It didn't make sense that I was there. I
               mean these guys were hard-core threadjackers,
               but there I was.  Cussers, weak-kneed
               "game over" yellers, teenage macho posers,
               CAPS LOCKERS, tired actors, ass-talker bashers.
               I wasn't scared... Besides, it was fun. I got
               to make like I was notorious.

               And that was how it began. The five of us
               brought into Apricot's killfile
               on a trumped-up charge to be
               leaned on by half-wits.

the greatest trick that oaktoon ever pulled...
"San Jose A's of Fremont" is already being mocked by Angel's fans

He's here. I'm telling you he's on-line!

I'M TELLING YOU IT'S KEYSER OAKTOON!!

Most excellent riff you two

Now, who around here posts with an affected limp?

Don't hit me with a CGV,

least not without a trial.
Before I'm banned, I want to land
in Apricot's killfile.

This whole thread had better be April's QOTM.

Excuse me, Miss--that doesn't rhyme,

Or send a message puerile,
Watch out! Or you might find yourself
In Apricot's killfile.

I'm Innocent I Tell Ya ..

good christian too, not vile, -- but it's
no dishonor to be put in apricot's killfile.
Don't falsely accuse, I love the A's, I don't cuss
nor swear, -- but if perchance we make the dance,
I may get so excited I wet my pants, -- and then
despite my best intent and noblest bent all the while,
I still find myself in the tent of apricot's killfile.
One consolation I find, here in the frisco bay,
lone righty amongst the liberal hordes,
Yet what do I discover, come what may,
I need not protest or sound strident chords,
There is no discrimination all the while,
I found many democrats in apricot's killfile!
And good ones too, we form bipartisan bond,
And consider ourselves honored across the pond,
In the end we love the A's, though some of us be vile,
We ALL, even Neocons, share the bond, of apricot's killfile!

.. the Athletics may be small-market but they have BIG-heart! ..

Far from the Bay, you neocons

inhabit the state of Denial,
and, as such, have earned your place,
In Apricot's killfile.  

Kudos all, esp. Ice Cream.  Great stuff!

CGV or not CGV, That is the question

Whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows
of outrageous misfortune, or to duel with the left-
leaning of AN's Masses and be Banned for Eternity
into the Abyss and Shame of Community Guilt, ..

AHHH but there be a far better Fate, that to
Join my Cussin Comrades who do not Hate,
Yet they All, of whatever Poli-Orientation,
LOVE the Athletics Nation, and the while,
Consider it Honor to Serve without Guile,
in the Blessed Abode of Apricot's KillFile.

Methinks thou dost protest too much,

With tears of Crocodile,
But fervently our A's we'll cheer
In, you know...
