Prisco: Around the League

Good question. Can we get a class on how to use it properly? I fail to see how it was used incorrectly in this instance.

They say misery loves company, and you guys have enough members to start your own New Orleans Jazz and Pessimist festival. Proceeds could help pay the Saints the money they were promised. You could start you own website, Yack&Fold.com.

I think I just don't fit in around here anymore. I'm gonna try my best to be more pessimistic for a while and see if thats any fun. Could 80% of the posters here be that wrong? I'm gonna find out by switching to the dark side and become more pessimistic, even though I'm sure it probably won't work.

We suck man, we suck!

Ahhh, baby steps!

I'm just a realist, dude!

We need balance around here, so quit ganging up on Danno.

Maybe your pessimism about everyone is driving them to be more pessimistic. What a vicious vicious cycle.

The horror!

I just started posting about a month ago bc I sit around all day studying board questions, and I feel like there is a pretty good mix. Someone gets a little too optimistic, and they are brought down; someone gets a little too pessimistic, and they are brought up. I enjoy a little sarcasm in the mix as well to keep things entertaining. Only really bad/pessimistic parts are the long arguments about nothing, very few though.

Pardon me if I am wrong, but did Danno or did he not insert himself into this convo when he wasn't even mentioned? Can't take the heat..............

BlackandBlue · 06-07-2005, 05:44 PM

Nevermind the other 40 threads....

And this whole sunshiner/moonshiner thing is played out. It's sooooooo 2003.

Insert myself? How'd I do that?

And heat from a pessimist? Thats basically the equivalent of bad breath eh?

saintswhodi · 06-07-2005, 06:04 PM

See below.

And the moonshiners are telling me that it doesn't matter. The front office sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck. So it doesn't matter who we pick up, I'm told they'll suck if they come here so why waste the pick in a supplemental draft on a player who's gonna suck, when we can concentrate all the total suckage into one single draft day next year like we normally do?

Now mind you, this is after I was attempting to make a case for going after the USC player in the supplemental draft. Who is a DT, which we need, to improve the team. But I guess that could be somehow pessimistic and seen as an attack.

So you ridicule optimists, I call you out on it and thats me inserting myself? Hmmm, OK I guess. I'll have to think about that one for a while.
My newfound pessimistic attitude is slowing my thought process down a bit. How do you guys handle it? Do I need a sponser?

If it makes you feel any better, I thought your post was very positive and uplifting. 8)
After all the battles, methinks that Danno has become quick on the trigger.
