Lookout Landing

I think it's probably that gal at team store who decided 10-15 years ago that a pink ball cap would be a cute idea.

I'm so happy.

FUCK YOU

I'm not even lying

I have the biggest smile on my face right now.

FUCK

YOU

Rec'd for being right!

FUCK YOU

Huh.

Who in the fuck came up with this?

We should totally ban the Mariners that day

I DON'T KNOW HOW

GO ANGELS

It can be an offday where we talk about how nice the weather is or something

WHAT?

It saddens me to see what this team has done to Jeff.

I suspect a Ms actually

FUCK THAT

FUCK THIS

I bet they're doing it just to taunt you

Now you have gone too far sir.

Go Angels Jeff? I think I just threw up in mouth a little bit.

thewyrm - May 20, 2009 reply

speaking of dead memes

Hating the Angels transcends all memeification.

thewyrm - May 20, 2009 reply

I would've thought so too but here we are

Ridiculously stupid promotions may come and go. . .

. . . but my Grandchildren will F’ing loathe the Angels.

thewyrm - May 20, 2009 reply

You know how some people are still bitter about segregation

I must bookmark this comment for future quoting purposes.

I didn't even get banned for the lol starsburger

Poochie - May 20, 2009 reply

This calls for a special Rally Puppy gif!

I wish the Ms had waited to announce this until Jeff's jury duty went to deliberations and somehow I was able to text him at that point.

"Has the jury reached a decision?"

“We have your honor. We find the defendant, John Smith, guilty of 3rd degree burglary. And one of the jurors is recommending the sentence be death by hanging. "

Seriously are they really this retarded?

I bet they actually make money off this though.

So who’s the retards?

The fans. That’s who.

Are lolcats even still popular though?

Like, even with retards?

Lolcats are the new mudkips

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

at the risk of sounding my age

what’s a mudkip?

Don't worry, I don't know what it is either.

hahaha your old amirite

Depends, is half wayish to you old?

Heh.

I'm so much closer to a subsidized bus pass than you it's not even FUNNY

yeah, I got nothin’.

This is where I reply to you in a witty manner about age.

You may have had more…

A pokemon made famous by a strange kid who really liked Mudkips.

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

ah.

Back in my day, we had old only 150 Pokemon (plus Mew).

It’s all very bewildering for us elderly people.

Ubuntu came out and then things got really confusing

All the new ones don't count >:(

again

YES

THIS IS NOT 4CHAN

Sorry

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

For the record Taylor H has left me all his recs.

This is to avoid any confusion over the rightful heir to the inheritance.

Yes.

Some non-retards find them amusing.

Aaron Campeau - May 20, 2009 reply

Not all the money is going to come from retards

You're an aspiring retard fuckface

I’m looking forward to John Carlson saying ‘i can has replacement acl pleez’?

What do you have against John Carlson?

Just asking.

Penis envy would be my guess

I enjoy Robert being sad

John Carlson is also the only thing to survive a ScrappyShop

You are worse than AIDS.

I'm also cooler than AIDS

Don't say such things :(

This is the worst comment to ever get 3 recs

Robert - May 21, 2009 reply

Four!

Jeff Sullivan - May 21, 2009 reply

Poochie - May 22, 2009 reply

This is hilarious. I mean not for what is it so much as someone approved it.

And they surely had no f’n idea what they were approving.

SethGrandpa - May 20, 2009 reply

Maybe this is a joke.

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

Or someone hacked the website.

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

I going to goto this game

and hope that I get rick roll’d.

Dammit, Jeff. You scared the hell out of me.

I thought we had another one of these situations:

I’m sure Fett could make a new version with the M’s marketing director in GMZ’s place, which would be warranted, but GAH!

THIS IS WORSE THAN ANYTHING ZDURIENCIK COULD EVER DO

A HOLOCAUST OF LOLCATS

Alternately we could roll with it and turn the place into LOLcat Landing and then kill ourselves

Lookout Landing cat Landing?

wut

Oh my God they've finally broken Jeff beyond all repair.

A LOLOCAUST

Since appropriate uses for this are so rare:

FWombat - May 20, 2009 reply

Maybe that can be the next M's promotion!

OUR RAGE CAN ONLY PROPERLY BE CONVEYED IN CAPS LOCK

Who goofed? I've got to know!

shonjuan - May 20, 2009 reply

Why

Trashcan Jeff is not amused.

I work with a guy that loves those things.

Prints them out and puts them on the office noteboard and everything.

FUCK HIM

Eh, he's ok, just kind of slow.

Just wait till DRB finds out about this.

OH GOD NO

No one say anything related to ampa-tay's team that might summon that blogs proprietor.

Oopsie....

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

TOO LATE!

Just so you know, I'm more or less in agreement with you guys collectively.

kericr - May 20, 2009 reply

IS IT BAD THAT I AM ENJOYING THE REACTION?

Nope.

NO, I AM TOO.

CAUSE I REALLY DON’T CARE WHAT MY TEAM DOES IF IT RELATES IN NO WAY TO THE ON THE FIELD PRODUCT.

SethGrandpa - May 20, 2009 reply

Something this horrible has got to make the players feel ashamed to play for the Mariners

That might project onto the field

No.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Mariner promotion create Game Thread Emotion. It’s making me laugh.

I can't believe I'm seeing this, on the official Mariners web site

I’m speechless

I'm so happy.

Already bought my tickets.

FUCK YOUR FACE

Oh, Scruffy.

I think you just submitted yourself to the 'fans are retarded' comment by Matthew up above.

But dammit, we know you are doing this out of spite… and it’s hilarious!

Some people on LL both like LOLcats and spiting the sexy J/M/G

I thought our website got hacked at first

This is getting submitted to Fark for all to see.

I can't think of a clever enough headline to get a green.

THERE IS NO HEADLINE

IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

Mark ur kalendurz: July 9 iz a Cheezburger Nite wif teh Seeattul Maranurz

IS THIS YOU?

I think this comment wins:

I’m relieved that the Mariners are having I Can Haz Cheezburger night instead of the usual Failblog night.

Aw, man.

Nope. Somebody beat me to it.

Scrappy the Scapegoat - May 20, 2009 reply

Yes I would enjoy a delicious cheeseburger

I’m very grateful that the Mariners have decided to offer me one in such a charming manner.

YOU FIEND

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

FUCK YOU DOG

Fuzz - May 20, 2009 reply

God I love cheeseburgers also.

I hope I get free ones.

And so it begins.

Well Jeff has officially lost it.

Sorry sir, but LOLCats are against the rules.

Please reread the community guidelines before commenting further.

MAYBE IT'S LIKE A DOUBLE NEGATIVE?

NOOOOOO SCRUFFY NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

THIS IS MORE VERBOTEN THAN THE RALLY RASH! DON’T ENGAGE IN SELF-IMMOLATION!

Oh my god, I had erased the Rally Rash from my brain.

FUCKIN BANNED

I never thought I'd see the day.

He was warned and this is hidden!

WARNED MY ASS

I considered banning you

But then I remembered that would be stupid without Robert to blame it on

YOUR HIGH HORSE IS FEEBLE RELATIVE TO THE ONCOMING FOUR

rec'd for being armageddony

It likely has a knee injury anyway

Ashley Young will look so nice in blue

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSUHUTPSUT

WHO WANTS TO SEE MORE PICTURES OF DEAD CATS

Yo, right here!

I wonder what Niehaus' reaction to this will be.

Perhaps his first F-bomb dropping ever?

And perhaps a “retard” drop too?

He's dropped F bombs before

WHAT IF ALL THE PLAYERS ARE WEARING LOLCAT JERSEYS

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

That would be the world's worst idea

which means it’ll definitely happen.

WHAT IF THE MASCOT FOR THE DAY IS A LOLCAT

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

As long as it's either the one pictured above or Bill The Cat

It will be Felix the Cat!

Fritz The Cat!

Felix the Cat is more offensive to us!

How would that even work?

Would a second mascot hold up a sign with a LOLcatz caption?

YES OH GOD YES

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

I CAN HAS HEADLESS

HARRYP09 - May 20, 2009 reply

Hello, there.

Please take a gander and include a subject line in the future.

I completely approve of this.

It’s like the worst Bill Veeck promotion ever, except 1000 times worse.

Well, the cats aren't wearing shorts ...

I thought it was a joke but I've refreshed like 8 times and it still hasn't gone away

WHAT THE FUCK

Simon Phoenix - May 20, 2009 reply

Did you guys watch the video

I would rather lick whipped cream off Carlos Silva's nipples

Its about a cat that bit a groundscrew guy

The Kingdome Kitty Klassic?

Nothing is worth this.

.

Kittehs luv basball

I shall miss you, R.J.

The video was surprisingly inoffensive considering the title

I expected so much worse

Simon Phoenix - May 20, 2009 reply

Rally Burgers anyone?

russak - May 20, 2009 reply

I don't understand what they're doing for this promotion.

Is it just a T-Shirt? That makes the stupid idea even stupider.

I would be willing to bet all the scoreboard stuff between innings will be in lolcatese

I BELIEVE THIS IS SIMPLY A GROUP PURCHASE OF TICKETS AND AS SUCH IS NOT AN OFFICIAL MARINER PROMOTION

NEVERTHELESS HOLY HELL

THEN HOW IS IT ADVERTISED THROUGH THE MARINERS OFFICIAL WEBSITE?

THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME.

New LL softball uniforms!

We had softball uniforms?

ningwers - May 20, 2009 reply

The Rangers are gonna love this

The Rangers are mentally handicapped?

ningwers - May 20, 2009 reply

I almost just posted +1 there to make fun of them, but then I hated myself for thinking about LSB for any reason other than illicit substances.

The fact that they are doing this right before training camp shows that they worry about losing me forever.

Good Show Mariners. Now just resign Felix and I’ll stay forever.

FUCK OFF AND GET FUCKED

This beats the 104 loss hat by a fair margin

Kermit. - May 20, 2009 reply

I would love to have a 104 loss hat.

So if it's a promotion, you know, LL members could buy tickets and "enhance" this.

Not that I’d be suggesting creatively sabotaging the world’s most horrible promotion in an amusing manner or anything. That would be wrong.

I'll be good.

I'm not sure if I should attend or just go for the pregame festivities, get the tee shirt and come back to LOL

I wonder if they are going to throw out a first cheeseburger

Maybe a first LOLcat

And our first pitch is sponsored by PETA…

At least there will be attractive naked people to offset the LOLcats.

Well there went any thought

Of flying out for the July series ……..

Ed Coffin - May 20, 2009 reply

I can haz dignity?

You're a Mariners fan, right?

I think the answer to that question should be pretty obvious now.

I think I know who planned this event.

SILVA GREMLIN?

HOLY SHIT

EnglishMariner - May 20, 2009 reply

I am so ashamed right now

Burn in hell for this Mariners. B urn in hell!

deacvision7 - May 20, 2009 reply

You reap what you sow.

ThundaPC - May 20, 2009 reply

That was at least somewhat benign in its silliness

this is out-and-out ridiculous and embarrassing.

Couldn't they do what every other self-aware thing does these days

and get Stephen Colbert to demand it be named after him?

TOO LATE ALREADY COLLAPSED

So will that game thread be heavily moderated, or do you just say fuck it?

Depends how Robert is feeling that day

Now the same comment in all caps

Will I be allowed LOLcats if they are homegrown?

What do you think

Yes?

Time T: Open game thread

T+2 seconds: Close comments

The second you blink is the second I rape

So let's all be Padres fans

I think I might make a full time move

to True Blue LA.

Like this!

A less homersexual shade of blue

is what I had in mind.

Basically every school who's main color is blue prides themselves on being "true blue."

And baby blue down on the list of being true blue.

NEVER

"noo cheez friends"

Did they take something crappy, make it crappier by having an event, and then make it even crappier by coming up with “cheez friends”?

Seems to be what they did, yep

and it’ll only get worse as it gets closer, probably. If they make Niehaus talk about this on air that’ll be disgusting.

I wonder if Dave will think they handed him the wrong piece of paper with all the not real words on the paper.

If he's going to sound like he's drunk he might as well show up drunk

I see no potential problems with this idea.

I think you mean "hilarity"

Rizzs plus two months of cheezburger talk equals shoot me now.

If he pronounces it like it's spelled I might have to turn him off, that would be a first.

Then again he might have fun with it, probably depends on how the M’s are playing

Kermit. - May 20, 2009 reply

What's the pitching matchup going to be?

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

SILVA VS. BAEK

Just to fuck with us.

I would enjoy this.

.Taylor - May 20, 2009 reply

You seem to enjoy many things that Jeff does not. :)

For July? Serious?

Felix vs. some ass for Baltimore if the rotation holds.

We're playing the Rangers

Whoops, one game off.

Jakubauska vs. Some ass from the Rangers if the rotation holds.

All of a sudden

I want to have Turn Ahead the Clock night back.

Griffey looks like he just heard about cheezburger night.

ralphie81 - May 20, 2009 reply

Hell Yes

Turn ahead the clock to the future Mariner.

Cats?

There’s a cat in here?

msb - May 21, 2009 reply

If they ran 25 cent beers that night, this could have some serious Disco Demolition night potential.

Make it 10-cent beers and now we've got something.

OK, so I'm apparently older and further out of touch than I thought

Aside from the atrocious text language, what I so offensive? I also have no idea what a Lolcat or a Mudkip is.

The deadest meme imaginable, I guess.

There were some funny ones when they came out, but now they’re just old and hackneyed.

LOLcats are textual platinum

They're not offensive, they're just completely, utterly not funny

and there’s really no good reason to build a real-world promotion out of an internet meme.

Mets fans voted to be Rick Rolled at every home game for their 8th inning song last year.

If I recall correctly, the Mets just decided not to do what the fans said. I hate when the internet blurs into real life.

IS THIS ON THE LEVEL???

You do recall correctly

I don’t remember what they went with, but it wasn’t the Astley.

I thought they played it once

They might have, I don't remember. I just know the refused to make it the 8th inning song.

They played it once and everyone booed

But I like that song. I am listening to it right now.

They played each candidate song for one game

and then Jeff typed faster than me.

I like that song, btw.

Cartoon Network Rick Rolled the Macy's parade

that was even worse. And I think the Mets thing was flooded by voters from all corners of the internet. I remember Mets fans on one forum I read trying to get people to flood in Rick Astley votes.

Ah, but they RickRolled with Rick ....

It's the worst meme in world history

I can imagine a worse one is on the way.

No it's not.

It's the worst meme in normal people history

We should lobby the Ms for a Furry Night.

Why would you even joke about that

That I would find legitimately hilarious.

They would have to be quarantined to their own section, away from actual people.

If that was the stipulation, I might be ok with it.

The Jumbotron for that game of crowd shots would be amusing.

As would the TV broadcast.

I want to go and make the greatest rally fries sign ever

No! Free to mix!

Prosthetic arms for all!

I have the image of about 300 people in full furry suits waving and dancing to the Jumbo screen during the inning breaks.

Our mascot is a furry.

HARRYP09 - May 20, 2009 reply

And soooo hotttt

They could sell tickets to a special section of Furries!

Furries are odd, yet hilarious creatures.

LOLCats have zero redeemable qualities.

Also: one of these two caused a World Series run.

Nonononononononononononono

Oh my god.

That would be the best thing ever.

I would support this just for the reaction from the normal fans

Worst meme in world history.

This is wildly inaccurate.

World history.

I do not understand how you think you are more qualified than me to state this.

Like I haven't had to put up with your community's bullshit

They were mostly behaved this go around.

Maybe the ones you saw

I'm just saying, how often have your users posted bondage pics of former presidents?

Not even close to worse

Sack out.

what

Wouldn't this draw a rather stern "zomg no politics"?

Depends on how old they were

.

You mean like this?

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

is this in any way shape or form safe for work?

You can answer that by looking at where the subthread takes off.

Figured as much but thought I'd ask anyway

Naked president art.

Try Tantric president art.

As art person, a historian and a perv*, I like this kind of stuff.

*I use perv in the best possible light.

Well, there's modern art for you.

You're fortunate then.

It’s not offensive, it’s just tedious. It was funny for a while when it first came out, years ago, but now it’s irritating.

I had a co-worker last year who would talk in lolcat speak on a semi-regular basis. It was pretty obnoxious, but she was one of those types who copped from various humor sources of the same ilk and didn’t have an original thought in her head, so frustrating/boring.

She talked like that out loud

Yes.

Working with her was horrible.

Letter opener ----> Head

She got fired before it came to that.

Oh my God.

Teej - May 20, 2009 reply

I only do that to my cat.

Aaron Campeau - May 20, 2009 reply

I know someone who used to do the same thing, believe it or not :-\

That’s pretty much when lolcats stopped being funny for me.

I hope to god LaHair is on the team by then.

Its a cross-promo with Brandon Morrow night

“Iz in ur bullpen, fuckin wit ur sanity”

STOP

No chatspeak.

the ironing is delicious

I'm not kidding around.

me neither

This thread is about a Mariners promo night which explicitly uses chatspeak, one that will no doubt produce t-shirts which have Mariners-themed chatspeak on them.

But I guess rules are rules…

We are neither the Mariners nor a chatroom though

Perhaps you did not notice the general reaction to this occurance

Sorry for ruining your day, guys

Keep scrolling by all those “FUCK YOU” posts though. They sure aren’t polluting the thread at all, and are providing so much hilarity.

This approach to posting will ensure that you last a long time around here

People who have a problem with swearing really don't belong here

Because what the fuck

Word of advice:

Do not join a community and then immediately start bashing that community’s rules.

fixed it for you

Do not join a community and then immediately start bashing that community’s ~~rules~~ moderators.

That too!

It was good the first time, thanks for your input though

Bye

DO NOT CROSS MODERATORS

Seahawks124 - May 20, 2009 reply

Aw...

You were briefly amusing.

Liebkartoffel - May 20, 2009 reply

Damn that was fast.

I think that an exception can be made for this comment

Not from a first time poster it doesn't.

I am willing to grant him the benefit of the doubt

You're the worst moderator ever though.

Somebody hasn't read SBN

You're a worse moderator than me.

He doesn't get any complaints though

The whole thing is coming apart at the seams now.

Maybe its because he realizes that he is a human being and takes the time to step away from his fucking login name

This is untrue

I’m way worse then Jeff.

Perhaps you need a stunningly handsome mod in training to help you out/bring in the green.

He used it all up

Where's the M's marketing department guy who used to post here?

WHAT DID WE DO TO YOU, GUY? WE VOTED FOR YOUR FUCKING RELATIVES IN SOME STUPID POLL. WE WERE NICE AND SHOWED INTEREST IN YOUR WORK. WAS IT GRAHAM? WAS IT THE POTTY MOUTHS? WHAT?

So how many 10 year olds do you guys think will be at this game?

Physical 10 year olds or mental?

Probably a lot of both.

Not enough for the people buying tickets in this section

I just don't care.

OH MY GOD

WEEEEEE

I know I said the same thing

I can't wait until the M's start showing EPIC FAIL on the scoreboard after losses

That would be once a day with Yuni on the field.

at least

Between Yuni, Loafie, Johnson, and our hitting,

We’d burn out the scoreboard with Fail memes.

If the giant monochromatic sign just said LOL LOL LOL after every fuckup ... awesome.

So apparently I will be rooting for whatever team we happen to be playing that day out of spite

LET'S GO RANGERS BUM BUM BUMBUMBUM

The Rangers, that is

Might as well.

We’ll be 25 games out of first place by the time.

Seriously this is the worst idea in the history of bad ideas

Why is it called cheeseburger night when its actually about t-shirts?

Is this part of the meme that I am ignorant of, or are they trying to trick fat kids?

Do not click unless you are pakipaki

I hope I don't get boxed for this, but...

Hope that helps you understand the outrage.

Thanks for trying to enlighten me. The link says the page is gone.

I think I’m getting the idea though. Pictures of dressed/expressive cats, amusing captions in textspeak. Real comedic gold, I’m sure.

Oops, I failed. I see what I did.

Here

Failing may have been better here though.

People read this shit?

I now understand why this promotion is bothering certain individuals.

Some people read it every day, even.

The worst part is the comments.

Makes youtube look semi-intelligent.

When the link to that thread was posted, I couldn't stomach more than about two comments.

Absolutely horrible.

Yeah, my roommate for one.

tootthekazoo - May 20, 2009 reply

Five recs to the first person to run over a cat, bring the cat to the game, and throw it at the participants

Sure, that's not worse.

You bitch

An additional five recs if the body is fresh and cut open prior to being made airborne

Recs would probably not cover bail.

It could be like throwing a squid onto the ice at a hockey game!

tootthekazoo - May 20, 2009 reply

If you're on this blog you ARE the resistance.

There's actually a poster for this.

I don’t want to post it.

Do it.

Let our souls be crushed even more.

I'm afraid.

It’s got Mariners font and everything.

You want your soul crushed?

Read the comments section announcing this event on icanhazcheezburger.com. Not for the faint of heart.

And there's the ad poster thingy

Well, you know what happens next...

Yep.

WHAT THE FLAMING CRABS IS THAT

That's poorly designed.

GOD IS A LOLCAT

WE ARE ALL GOING TO HELL, WHERE THERE REALLY IS NO FLOOR.

God is LOLCAT. Now that explains a few things.

God is a lolcat by which we measure our pain

I am grateful for the minimize feature

That cat is gigantic

It's actually the cat from Village of the Giants

The was a dog and two ducks.

There was no cat.

Yes there was dumbass

Right at the beginning

So there was. Who cares, cats are terrible things to pay attention to.

I don't like cats either

They watch you while you dress and judge you

Only you, friend, only you.

I'll GIF it for you someday.

GIF GIF GIF

Seems like someone should.

Poochie would die

Poochie can take it.

gifs don't have sound

Oh god yes

If I brought the hay hay commercial to the people then I bet someone could make a crappy cell phone video of this

Winner!

Pretty sure that's the original HappyCat

Correct

She rocks.

That said, ICHC seems to be huge with the 40+ online female crowd (both of them!).

I apologize for mentioning that this exists.

Crystal for DH - May 20, 2009 reply

THERE IS NO FLOOR

I can has floor pleez?

No chatspeak, Graham! ;)

That's not retarded enough

And yet we keep coming closer to where one would be if there were

I feel like it should be less horrifying after a certain point.

Wouldn’t it just become an exponentially shorter distance or are we constantly setting a new standard for where the floor is?

If we don't know where the floor is it's impossible to gauge

That makes sense.

All I know is that we must be falling really slowly

Because I refuse to believe we were ever high enough up that we’d take this long to find a floor (which we still haven’t done)

tootthekazoo - May 20, 2009 reply

Gravity does not work that way?

Once we find the floor I will put a cat on it and stomp on the cat

Essentially making the cat into a cheesburger

I hope you're not actually awful to cats in person.

I figure you are though.

I killed a cat once but it was a mistake

Did you mean to kill four?

Ugh.

I meant to give it a more glancing blow with my tires so that the death was drawn out

You're awful.

I am nice to bunnies

Although I've killed twice as many bunnies as cats

Do you keep a running total of all the small animals you've maimed?

Having graduated from college I am capable of counting to three

Doesn't the brain damage cancel that out?

I used to be able to count to seven

Hartford kills brain cells

Hartford?

The site of a university attended by Mr. Sullivan

I am somewhat surprised Decatur didn't already know that.

There's a limit to what you can learn about a person by sleeping in their bushes

I am only human.

So you went to one of those fancy schools

It's good that we aren't pals.

I was upset about the bunnies

So you've killed two bunnies?

No, eight bunnies.

Bah, only two?

You wimp!

DOUBLE KILL!

I rec'd this assuming it was a halo reference.

Found out it was pregnant as I was gutting it. Still tasted the same though.

I hate this subthread.

Rabbits are so prolific over here that they are actually detrimental to the agriculture industry. For every one I get, 15 more take its place.

You're a Kiwi Farmer?

Even more Badass. I thought mice were the biggest problem there, though.

No. I am a policy advisor for indigenous affairs.

I just think rabbit is a cheap food option.

Coniglio con aglio. Yum.

I figured you'd get here eventually.

Thanks for the advice, tiger.

I thought this was a bunny

Apparently the Mariners are stooping to AAA tactics to attract fans.

And up next year: I'm On A Boat T-Shirt Night

Who the hell thought internet memes would be a good idea?

Except I'm On a Boat is funny in proper context

Not anymore.

Really?

We’ve had so little occasion to use it lately that I couldn’t tell one way or the other.

I love it.

I don’t know why anyone would hate it. It should be the Mariners official motto.

I love it too.

I was just afraid we’d kill it before the Mariner’s came close to the playoffs.

Anything of those similar internet sensation memes are killed to death so quickly by the general populus that they lose any sort of value.

Those things go sour like milk on a hot pavement.

Repetition can ruin anything

The best performance of my life!

The best performance?

The best performance of my life!

Curious.

It's my job!

My job is to be repetitive!

Your job?

It's pretty badass, though.

And I don’t think it has been that prevalent on the internet. Then again, I don’t go site hopping like some people.

How is this any different from "Stich n' Pitch" or any other niche group night?

Whatev…no reason to burst a blood vessel

ConorGlassey - May 20, 2009 reply

We're don't already hate people who knit

This is about eleventy times worse than having a Neo-Nazi promotion on Sandy Koufax Night

Free white bedsheets for the first 5000 fans through the gates!

Or having the annual Jay Buhner Headshave night on Koufax night.

Because niche group nights are about things that exist in the real world

People knit because they like to do it, not for ironic effect.

Has anyone confirmed that you can acces it through the public M's site?

It appears to be like one of the private March Madness pools you can set up on Yahoo, ESPN, etc.

Any group can set up a group night and call it whatever they want. The M’s give the group organizer a private page on the M’s website for managing the group night tickets and information. The group organizer forwards the link or the password through a group email or individual emails.

Here, the group organizer is either doing this as a great hoax, or someone who really needs a hug forwarded the link to the wrong person.

Or it is a smokescreen for the furries.

Where is that Yellow Dart guy?

I bet he is the one responsible for this!

He was ironically boxed for a lolcat

You are joking.

Why would I joke about this?

That's too bad.

He was one of our insider guys, along with Jeremy Reed’s brother who made an appearance last year.

Ignore Robert

Still better than the fucking Macarena World Record night. God.

I think I vaguely remember that.

How did this shit happen before we had widely available internet?

I know that was after that, but still.

I'd just like to point out that I was out of the country when that shit went down.

M’s set a record, Yankee fans set a new one, so the M’s had a huge macarena night.
As I recall, this was roughly 2 years after it came out, so it’d be like having 30,000 people sing ‘Who Let the Dogs Out?’ in 2004 or so.

"Who Let the Dogs Out" was a 2000 Mariners thing almost exclusively, I think.

I remember in 2001 or 2002 I saw a Baja Men “Greatest Hits” album that consisted entirely of remixes of that one song. That was a delight to see.

Yes, that's my point. If 30,000 people sang 'Who Let the Dogs Out?' in 2004 or so, would that be:

(1) Awesome
or
(2) Not Awesome?

Ah, I see. I'm gonna say 2.

There was a "Who Let the Dogs Out?" night at Safeco in 2000 or 2001

The Baja Men played a pregame concert. I made sure not to show up until 30 seconds before the first pitch.

If you don't read game threads then I apologize for this inside joke being more of an outright insult

This meme started in a recap thread, didn't it?

Whatever

It's really hard to have a flame war when I will ban everyone who tries to start one

You're lovely.

I wonder if they'll invade the gamethread that night?

MFAN - May 20, 2009 reply

We can take them out at the source.

They work somewhere in Lower Queen Anne. They run help wanted ads on craigslist.

The only thing that could make this night better.

Is if they brought out the midgets and mini cattle from the jack in the box commercial and started singing the song.

I'd rather that be paired with Furry Night.

That would potentially be the greatest thing to ever happen.

Combine 70’s night and we’re golden.

recent decade nights are overplayed.

I want 1920s night.

You have not thought this comment through

Whatever, at least we'll get rid of all the ni

Best South Park ever

Time to leave?

Or, given the economy and ticket sales so far, 1930s night.

I'm down for some big band music.

The recent "turn back the clock night" was very similar to that

It was supposed to be 1939, they had swing dancers in period costumers in the beer garden.

I'm hoping for the 1340's myself

nothing like a night honoring the Black Plague.

You could put Yersinia pestis in the cheeseburgers

and give away t-shirts with pictures of said pestis

YES

YES

Big band behind the outfield fence and everything.

The only downer would be the prohibition.

Bootleg booze night!

Nothing like a tall glass of Yuni's homemade bathtub gin

Whoa, dude, not cool.

Willie Mays Haze - May 20, 2009 reply

Baseball ought to go the basketball route and just get ska bands to play live.

BASEketball. Fuck.

I saw Reel Big Fish live.

Pretty good, I was drunk, and that made it all the better.

marinerdan - May 20, 2009 reply

I really want to see Streetlight Manifesto.

If the majority of the bands on warped tour didn’t suck, I’d totally go.

I saw them in Seattle a few years ago

while they were impressive, the crowd was less impressive.

I am glad that the crowd didn’t suck when I saw TSPO in Seattle the same year.

I'm really pretty shocked a Streetlight crowd was bad.

They’re my favorite ska band, and I sort-of dance like a moron every time I listen to them in my car. They’re so upbeat, and they’re so easy to sing along to. It’s really shocking to me that that their crowd would be so lame….hopefully when I get a chance to see them, they will kick ass.

BrettJMiller - May 21, 2009 reply

Too bad Ska is mostly dead

well in Seattle it probably is dead.

It's probably still popular with the straight edge kids in Boston.

You know, it was clear that the patrons of Safeco field needed another distraction from the baseball, because right now we hardly use gimmicks at all.

I hope Josh Hamilton hits a 400 ft. homerun that drills someone wearing ones of those t-shirts in the head.

Replace "Josh Hamilton" with "Adrian Beltre"

This may get me banned.

Sorry, Thought 312px was close enough.

Looks like my assumption that the LL Images are pre-sized for my convenience was wrong.

What's funny is that the cheeseburgers in Safeco are too expensive for anyone in this group to afford one

Easy to get around that

crock pots result in a better end product

it's not I Can Buy Cheezburger night

they just get them for free by displaying their stunning senses of humor.

What happened to the good ole' M's promos?

Star wars night and the like. I’d rather see a ton of stormtroopers running around the ballpark than a bunch of those stupid shirts.

Trying to appeal to the younger generation, I guess.

Heck, a lot of LLers weren’t even alive when Star Wars came out.

Jar Jar Binks Night!

Yes, because Jar Jar Binks certainly wasn't one of the worst movie characters of all time...

Actually I think you'll find that Jar Jar Binks is one of the more nuanced and complex characters ever to grace the silver screen

I think you'll find that I won't find that.

The only complexing thing about him was why George Lucas allowed the character

to be created.

This sentence doesn't make sense

I vehically disagree

Cromulent choice of words!

You know what I'm trying to say.

You're trying to disembiggen him

You just don't understand him yet

One day you will

Believe you me

I enjoy how many French sentences

have a literal translation of things like "Me give-you the book, please.

Many languages do that

Just using French as an example.

I don’t know any other languages.

Complexing?

I enjoy creating my own words.

Actually, truth be told, I confused it with another word.

Dang it.

So who is coming with me?

WACOPS night is scheduled for the same night

WACOPS is Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs.

Maybe Jeff can arrange for the cops to arrest everyone at the park with a LOL cat sign as a public nuisance.

I'd settle for a hearty tazing followed by some mace

My dad's in the SPD.

I think he’ll be happy to oblige.

Mandatory beatings

...

Still better than watching Morrow close the 9th with a 1 run lead.

Not for you, for the LOLcat people, I think.

Although I suppose you could ask the cops there to whack you with a nickstick the next time Morrow or Tits comes in.

Oooh. "Don't taze me bro!" night

Next idea - Literal interpretation night!

Warning Literal Rick Roll to follow.

My favorite one is the Take on Me literal version.

I've never been to Safeco to see the M's play before, but I'm going to make it a point to buy tickets for this promotion.

It’s just so awesome.

I’m really happy that at least one team has gotten up-to-date with its promos.

2007 Meme is up to date?

Well as good as you can expect from a baseball FO.

Look at how long it took for sabermetric approaches to take hold here!

You've never been to Safeco?

Oh my.

Obviously not a real Mariners fan.

That's not what I meant.

I meant that Safeco is beautiful, and I had hoped he’d already had the experience.

I guess it works both ways.
