Sat, 03 Jan 2009 03:31:48 +0000 http://www.thefightins.com/?p=668#comment-4858 @Chamo Thanks for [Hunter's] kind words. No bullshit, I was looking for Hunter S. Thompson t-shirts the other day, and the end of that quote was on one I was considering. I ended up selecting "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." And thanks to Meech for turning a Bugs & Crank commenter with no blog experience, but oodles of Youtube softcore porn channel experience, to a tri-contributor to a once proud, god fearing blog. Every post I make it my mission to embarrass, frighten, and make my fellow contributors reconsider anonymity. I know have something that I can be proud of to put on my resume (blogger/coozehound/reprobate*). *thanks to Chamo for giving me a new way to describe myself perfectly To the readers, look forward to more awesomeness this coming year; to my coworkers, look forward to more gibberish-ladened emails at 4 AM @Chamo

I like to think that for every Fightins post I've written that fell flat on its face, there was at least one or two that earned a chuckle. I consider "Dude. Brah." my personal best. I was (and remain) a frequent commenter on Deadspin and The 700 Level when Meech e-mailed me back in the halcyon days of May 2008 and asked if I'd be interested in writing the occasional post for his new Phillies blog. Despite the fact that I'd only learned English five days before, I was eager to contribute in any way I could. I quit my job on the spot (despite having a wife and two children to feed) and jumped enthusiastically into writing for TheFightins.com. (Which reminds me -- uh, Meech, have those checks from Benny The Bum's cleared yet? PECO is threatening to shut off our electricity again and we've been eating hobo chili since November.) Although it's more than likely a coincidence that this blog came into existence the very year the Phillies won their first World Series in 28 years, I strongly believe the three of us had a direct influence on everything that happened to the Phillies this season. How else can you explain it? Prudent free agent acquisitions? Clutch performances? Steady leadership in the face of adversity? Pfft. <i>Please.</i> Happy New Year to our loyal and tolerant readership, but especially to my comrades Meech -- our Fearless Leader and mad genius without whom this site would not exist -- and Howdy, who in the late Hunter S. Thompson's words is "one of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die." My New Year's Resolution is to get my lazy ass back to writing again. Although perhaps it would make things a bit easier if I wrote with my fingers instead. See? <I>That's</I> the kind of humor that makes me relevant in today's cynical, fast-paced world! It has been an honor and a privilege and an honor to write for this fine blog.
