Thread: Singer at the Bat

  1. #1
    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    I am exchanging emails and texts with Rob. The door is open for him to return.

    He might be creating his own poetry now. Poetry can soothe the savage beast... or something like that.

    I thought it deserved a refresh.

  14. #14
    Yup, smighty Singer is back and has already struck out several times.

  15. #15
    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!

    Wait a minute! Starting right now I'm gonna try something new. I won't make any more mean, bold posts and I'll see how it goes. I'll stop hurling world class insults (although I'll truly miss it). After all, I spend entirely too much time doing this stuff, and by now you either understand me and believe me or you don't. Besides, at 66 years old I need my head examined for still being involved in silly stuff like this. What is it LSH called me--an internet....no, a computer gangsta! Tell me: who does it better.

    Mickey, before I go out for my daily 2 mile walk I'd like to ask you to revisit your comment to coach about me being a "despicable human being". My wife, children and grandchildren don't think so; I have hundreds of friends around the world that don't think so; my neighbors don't think so; and with the people I've worked with it never entered their minds. So where do you get that from--my internet postings? It's 100% amusement mickey. If you weren't so stuck you'd see that. I can't help it if you choose food stamps and Medicaid over getting a job. I can't stop you from all that drinking. I can't explain why you don't have a woman. All I can do is scold you from my keyboard. And that bothers you?

    Well, he almost made it to the end of his post...

    It's pretty obvious Singer is preparing for his exit after missing the meeting in Vegas.

    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.
