It's easy to pass off as a waste of time the entire concept of boarding, but I've learned about too many good records, artists, movies, books and interesting people here that I'm not going to chalk it up as such.

This Tournament of Obners, however, is beyond silly. It is likely some of you will defend this exercise as just a bout of good fun. That's your bag, not mine.

I know I've said my share of rude or mean things on this board, but I'm not playing. This is stupid.

Stop being such a faggot.

Take your cock out of my ass, and I'll think about it.

PS Eat more pineapple.

I don't really care, but since the thread is here, might as well offer the information that I'm not participating either. Have fun everyone else?

you'd make top 10.

elvis fu you are being a pussy

It's now between PopTodd and myself.

I see bloody, gory suicide in my future.

If my self-worth wasn't so tied up into what other people thought about me, I wouldn't participate either.

you're funniest motherfuckin interneter there is FU.
cheers either way dog!

I suspect I will either get left off the tourney or trounced in the first round.

I respect Fu's prudence, but I AM VOTING SHMOO




this round, anyway

I felt kinda Scottish for a second there

Don't be so sure about that.

Also: I am not removing dodiletmedrive from the field of 64. If he wants to encourage a vote against himself, that's fine. But he's staying.

Last: I had qualms about this exercise, as it might stir too much animosity, but after naming the brackets, I realized what a toss this is. Anything with ASSFLEXXOR and Chowgurt Regions is not to be taken as gospel.

I'd rather be a pitcher than a catcher.

(I'm with you fu. The tournament is a little silly, but I was told those threads were initiating some stellar dialogue.)

my favorite is the Tom Arico bracket. i would have like to have seen a nod to the Homosexual Cherokee (Deeerre Deerre bracket?) but that was a nice to have

You're also in the field. Whether you want to be or not.

I am? I hadn't noticed.

there's a lot of old timey obners missing

We have 32 first round matches. Eight announced yesterday, eight more tomorrow, another eight Sunday, & the final group of eight Tuesday. Next Thursday will start round two.

I only had 12 to announce yesterday with the additional four play-ins (in which two of the four add-ins (from FT's original top 64) are winning).

I agree with you in principle, but I'm no good at any kind of abstention.

In a proactive spirit, I'd like to congratulate my opponent.

I mostly don't give a fuck one way or another about this thing, probably 'cause I'm not gonna be in it anyway, but is there any way to do it where it does not take up like half the first page with so many threads?

maybe a separate popularity forum?

You know yourself too well.
