I (and most others here) give Prediction shit when he posts like a moron, but why do we give Mac a free pass for idiotic posts? I mean, he's not much funnier. Is it because he's been here longer. Because he's well liked? I just realized the extreme double-standard we've set, and I'm really not okay with it.

There's a difference between our senses of humor.

I intentionally say dumb shit, whereas he seems to actually think the material he has is funny, but it's just profane and shock-y. i.e. "whoa, did he just say the n-word?"

I would tend to agree. Mac is a bit more off the wall, and Prediction A. is more abrasive and B. tries a bit too hard... and C. Has a bit more pretentious style. At least in my opinion.

I can judge these things because I've trained myself in stand-up comedy for almost SEVERAL hours, and I've done hours upon hours of YouTube browsing research, and thusly am pretty qualified in the field.

So, I participated in a fun walk yesterday at college, and I got 3rd place in the Men's category, and won a free water bottle. Walked a mile and a half in 20 minutes.

Based on how the last few pages have looked, about nobody is in a position to criticize others for bad posts.

But Mac was always kind of an idiot, while Prediction was normal for a while until he hit his head and developed mental problems (or something like that).

I agree, the last couple pages were pretty bad...

I think both mac and sjax said it well. Mac is far more tongue-in-cheek and doesn't seem to be trying as hard.

They were last year. See, no 2013 team is elite at the moment, until they prove themselves. What do you think the purpose of winning the World Series is? Teams have elite players, but one or two or three etc. players don't make up a team. The Red Sox have elite players, but until they prove themselves, they are not an elite team.

Umm, question. Does this mean the Red Sox are officially "elite" now?

Well, Skittles, to be honest, in my opinion it doesn't make the idea of those teams being in the World Series again any less boring.

Congrats to the Red Sox, I was wrong on my assumptions in June or something, they were a special team and I tip my Rockies hat to them.

People don't get on you for posting like a moron. People get on you for arguing (usually with me), until we both look like idiots

I'm about ready to punch something right now...transferring phone numbers between different phones from the same company is a bitch to do...especially when, out of the blue, they tell you that "you don't have coverage in this area." Complete and utter bullshit.
