Singer at the Bat

[redietz]

The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Martingales that day,
No evidence presented with but one forum left to play.
When Jerry Logan died at first, and Belly did the same
A sickly silence fell; AP's were all to blame.

A straggling few got up to go in deep despair; the rest
Clung to the luck which springs eternal in the Martingale breast.
They thought, if only Singer could send his tax returns,
That's all the proof they'd need to watch the AP's burn.

But logic preceded Singer, as did also a little thing called math.
The former irrefutable; the latter, well, it's math.
So upon the stricken Martingales grim melancholy sat.
There seemed no way Singer could overcome all that.

But Alan liked the concept, of quitting when ahead,
And math, the much despised, was put aside for dead.
When the forum dust had settled, and they saw what had occurred,
The rep of Martingales lay with tax returns interred.

From five thousand keyboards and more there rose a lusty yell.
It rumbled through Best Buys; it sent WOV to hell.
It sped across the globe and recoiled in every flat,
For Singer, mighty Singer, would get a whack at that.

[redietz]

Ten thousand screens were on him as he waxed so eloquent,
Ten thousand ears listened to his Martingale fervent.
Then while the writhing arci clenched his taxes to his hip
Defiance gleaned in Singer's eye, a sneering "get a grip."

And now the tax-filled envelopes came hurtling through the mail,
Singer stood watching them, hoping for a fail.
Photos of the envelopes the audience had been fed.
"That ain't the deal," said Singer. "Strike One," the umpire said.

With a smile of Christian charity, great Singer's visage shone.
He fueled the rising tumult, but bade the game go on.
He signaled thus to arci that the taxes were askew.
Ignoring all his backers' pleas, and the umpire said, "Strike two."

"Fraud" cried the maddened thousands, but Alan told them to hush.
No claims of illegality, even if deductions were all mush.
Singer's face grew stern and cold, they saw his cred begin to strain,
And they knew that Singer's taxes would clearly all explain.

And there's more....

[redietz]

The sneer is gone from Singer's lip; his fingers typing hate,
He insults recently departed, and says it's all just fate.
And now arci sends more taxes, and Alan opens them so slow.
And now the air is shattered by Rob's claims of being pro.

Oh, somewhere in another forum, the sun is shining bright.
Jerry Logan's playing somewhere, and Belly's feeling quite alright.
And somewhere Martingales are laughing, and somewhere Rob has clout.
But there is no joy at Best Buys -- mighty Singer has struck out.

You know, when I read the next quote, earlier today, and, then, looked at your post count, my first thought was, well, this guy seems to be plateauing at 6,666 posts. No, I'm not a numerologist - they scoffed at me, and my "numbers" over there - but I do work with numbers, and ideas. Such are always floating around in my head. Anyway, well, I thought this was hardly worth mentioning, at the time, until I got home, and, then, tried it out.

Sorry, man. Consider it a guest appearance. I post only to point out egregious stupid. I was actually hoping Rob would have put together something more convincing. It's disappointing.

As I mentioned, I could do a better job "selling my Lamborghini with my man-whoring money" than Rob did with his "Newell via double-up bug."

Feast your eyes on this baby. I mean, I don't know how I do it, usually, on the first try, but, damn.


Shut it down, Redietz, at post six thousand, six hundred sixty-six. --->

Auto industry in the united states
Prostitution in the United States

... in the first two lines.

What the fuck are the odds? Couldn't do this if I tried.

[Alan Mendelson]

I laughed and I laughed and I laughed. Bravo!!

[slobdinger]

Yes, very good.

[regnis]

applause!!!

[Dan Druff]

Beautiful!

[a2a3dseddie]

Two thumbs up!

[Spock]

Excellent, and a fitting epitaph.

[arcimede$]

The only question is when will might Casey .... err, Singer get so frustrated he attempts a comeback.

My guess is he hasn't gone far, assuming he's gone at all.

[arcimede$]

Yup, smighty Singer is back and has already struck out several times.

[redietz]

Rob swung and missed twice in his last post. Said he forced me to disclose my Super Bowl wagers to Alan. And said I relied on Spellcheck.

Everyone deserves a third strike. So, in honor of Rob....

Geez I bother you more than I thought. That makes it a home run!

Rob, the only thing that bothers me about you (and I admit it does) is when you lie about me. You directly lie about what I've said, and then you speculate and lie about what I do, who I am, and just about everything. You do this under the aegis of "I remember" (no, you don't, unless you're delusional) or "sources told me" (glad to see you've stopped using the word "verbatim") or that you're "opining."

Alan's a world class journalist, so he knows exactly what gimmicks you use. Journalists are taught to not use them -- except in the case of anonymous sources, and then as a last resort.

Just don't lie, Rob. I'm a left wing agnostic. I'm running out of hair. I'm 15 pounds over my proper weight and have a hard time running three miles these days. Go after that all you want. Just don't make stuff up out of thin air. Stick to what I have actually said in posts. You can read.

I think you're right Rob. This fucking asshole must be dreaming about you. Maybe that 200K hit bothered him so bad he dug up what he must think is some of his best work from 2016. I never saw this thread before, but, I'm convinced beyond any doubt, he is one fucked up dude.

Then just look at all the fucking morons that gave him a kudos, and you could see who the real losing pathetic fools are here.

The only loser here is you shitforbrains.

P.S. that $200k hit was by an old female. NOT Rob.
