Just like you, I was saddened, but not entirely surprised, to read the allegations printed in this morning's edition of Ball News. In an environment such as ours -- one where our elected authorities have abdicated their responsibilities to the community -- nefarious activity is bound to be all too common. Our politics makes "strange bedfellows", indeed.
For those who do not subscribe to Ball News, I will reprint excerpts from the editorial below:
- ...as all loyal Ball News readers know, we have been following the Official 4 story from its inception. It was Ball News that broke the story that a shadowy member of the Oyster's inner circle, known only as "Official 4", was working with the ball-hating organization known as Playt Front. Now Ball News has obtained photographs that prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Wacko Birdo is on "intimate terms" with several Playt Front principals. (Shocking images reprinted on Page 3! Not appropriate for small balls!)
- Wacko Birdo's brazen overtures to the Fascist Salamander and the Nazi Skinhead -- and during the preliminaries of a title game no less! -- were exposed and chronicled by courageous investigatve Ball News photographers at their own grave peril. Wacko Birdo is well-known for throwing balls out the window in fits of rage, and otherwise harming balls in unchecked fury.
- These scandalous photographs reveal that Wacko Birdo attempted to enter into carnal liaison with both Playt Front members at once! As you can see (photos reprinted on Page 3, not suitable for balls of circumference less than 2"), this is what our crack sports reporter SCOUNDREL (only in Ball News!) refers to as a "three-way". So extreme are Wacko Birdo's lusts that, apparently, one Nazi alone cannot satisfy them. All right-thinking balls must bounce or roll away from such corruption and moral turpitude.
- Knowing what we now know, is there any doubt remaining that Wacko Birdo is "Official 4"...?
However, close personal association with Playt Front members does constitute a betrayal of public trust. The organization known as Playt Front has made it known that they advocate expulsion and/or incineration for players who do not adhere to their standards of object purity. This murderous plan -- and those who espouse it -- must be repudiated by the Commissioner's office.
The Playt Progressive Party hereby calls for the resignation of:
- Any member of the Oyster's administration who has ties with Playt Front,
- Any member of the Oyster's administration who has comported with Playt Front members,
- Any member of the Oyster's administration who has offered aid and succor to self-styled Playt Front warriors.
Playt Front must be condemned, not coddled.
In solidarity,
The Spring Chicken
FIRST!!!!
ReplyDeletewait, there are homos in the box?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe the news in *Ball News* today. I am so sad that Babybird turned out to be a Pervart.
ReplyDeletethe whole corrupt oyster administration has to go!!!
ReplyDeleteit is a culture of corruption and it is pervasive on all levels!!!
throw the bums out!! recall election!!! spring chicken '09!!!
FUCKW AKLL OF YOU
ReplyDeleteI hate to criticize *Ball News* but they got this one wrong. Official 4 is Jeff Healey. He has already admitted it.
ReplyDeleteHe is a blind blues guitar player.
i cannot believe how susceptible you SHEEPLE are to the lies that are perpetuated by the corporate lie machine. maybe it is because you are beautiful people and not rejects so you don't know how it feels. *ball news* is just another corporate controlled media outlet that prints the lies of the puppetmasters who control what you think and believe. and now we see how the spring chicken is using hysteria over playt front to spread hysteria and fear. why am i not surprised. WAKE UP and smell the coffee. they have all Let It Happen On Purpose. we needed NADER to smash the corporate controlled media but you rejected nader so now you are stuck with *ball news*.
ReplyDeletei am gay
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I do not believe that Baby Bird is a member of Playt Front. Baby Bird rescued many of us from the street -- why would she want to throw us away now? What Baby Bird does behind closed doors is her own business.
ReplyDeleteAlso just because one salamander went bad does not mean that all salamanders are bad. I hope everybody knows that. Love, sally mander.
Psst! Oyster seen speeding and driving recklessly in the Oldsmobuick on the FDR Drive? Can a DUI and total embarrassment be far?
ReplyDeletebravo, little pink star! you are courageous "coming out" on a public forum.
ReplyDeletei, myself, may or may not have gotten up to some "secret stuff" before getting hitched!
??!?!?!?!????!???!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it totally discredits the Spring Chicken that it links to a publication like *Ball News*. *Ball News* is a biased tabloid and doesn't do proper fact-checking. I guarantee you that they didn't get Baby Bird's side of the story.
ReplyDeletes7uck it cloten you floating head uif you hadnt taken over the oyster campaign the oyster would have klostthe elexction and we wouldnbt be in this mess you know we are in. angf now you are just vfeeling guitty/
ReplyDeletego back to having gayt buyttsex with yotur gay green partner. oh thats rigyht you dont even have a buitt you are a stupid floating head.
Ball News is definitely a Good Publication. It must be -- SCOUNDREL writes for it.
ReplyDeletecool man
ReplyDeleteI refuse to get drawn into one of these personal name-calling conversations with an anonymous hater.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am *not* just a floating head! For the umpteenth time, I am a well-rounded person.
Also I am heterosexual. I do not know if my partner is straight or gay but it does not matter to me AT ALL. The important thing is that you love somebody.
love yopur own nonextistent ass you stupeid floating head.
ReplyDeleteLittle Pink Star I have something fun for you to lick. If you know what I mean. "Meat" me in the dark alley behind the development cards. NO RECIPROCATION not even a reach-around. Reply to Personal #567598OBIE.
ReplyDeletehomosexual was rampant during ancient times and also during the nazi times. ancients and nazis both enjoyed homosexual. many prominent members of the nazi party and the ancient party fell in love with each other and did things to each other in private which we only know about now because of archaeology. in the modern world there is still homosexual but not as many as there used to be because they died out. many women enjoy the company of homosexual as hairdressers and confidantes. many women also enjoy fascists and we know this from the famous sylvia plath speech where she said every woman loves a fascist. this speech was about her father who was a fascist. and therefore homosexual.
ReplyDeleteI am new here but I just want to say that if any of you need anybody killed, I am your kangaroo!
ReplyDeleteThat was not a speech, it was a poem. Sylvia Plath was a poet.
ReplyDeleteThat poem is very meaningful to me and I will not have you disrespecting it.
But where is the Oyster?!! Hey, everybody -- I'm seriously worried, here. Can't we put aside this stupid sex scandal thing for one day and figure out how to help our beloved commissioner?
ReplyDeleteExtra, extra!! Footage of The Oyster's demise captured on You Tube!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulRN8ZJzais
The entire Playt Box mourns the passing of our beloved Commissioner!!
Also: Tim Lincecum's 15-strikeout game. Only in the CHINA REPORT!
OYSTEEEER!!!!!
ReplyDeleteoyster no!
ReplyDeleteAAH!!! Oyster why?!!!
ReplyDeleteIf it came from *Ball News* I wouldn't believe it but the China Report is almost always accurate.
ReplyDeleteAlso that sure looks like an Oldsmobuick to me.
I will not believe it until they recover the shell.
ReplyDelete*sob*
You know what are good? Cashews. Yum.
ReplyDelete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWho is in charge? Is there a Vice Commissioner?
ReplyDeleteno vice commissioner as far as i can see. i smell a SPECIAL ELECTION!
ReplyDeleteSpring Chicken 2009!
ReplyDeletethis is so not cool, man.
ReplyDeleteI have discovered in a hidden cave some mystreious scrolls that discouss the Order of Succession. They say in hydroglyphics that should the Oyster drive off a cliff the successor and new king should be HnEnNnRnY. I think this is a secret code or Egyption or something like that. Can anybody deciphere it?
ReplyDeletehenry:
ReplyDeleteNigga Please.
For starters: I signed this post the way I did not to kowtow to patriarchal privilege, but because many of you haven't bothered to learn my name. I recognize you're all very busy posting horrible things about each other on the Internet, but you'd think *some* of you fellows would want to get to know a pretty new girl? Guess not.
ReplyDeleteI don't like to post to this thing, because threads on Internet message boards an illegitimate and largely illusory form of pseudodiscourse. I've had many discussions with Cloten about this, but since he's instinctively compassionate, he can't stop himself from engaging with anonymous creeps. I suffer from no such burden, so I'm happy to stay out of it. But -- if only to dispel some of the hysteria currently polluting the box (talk about environmental hazards!), I'm forced to comment on these latest reports of the Oyster's death.
We don't know if the reports are true. We don't know if that was actually the Oyster's car that went over the cliff, and we don't know when the accident happened. Finally, even if the Oyster was in a crash, we have no reason to assume that it was fatal. So any discussion of succession is painfully premature. In terrible taste, too.
go lisa! go lisa!
ReplyDeletestill i feel in my bones that the oyster is dead
ReplyDeleteme too...
ReplyDeleteWe know that was the Oyster's car. License plate: COMISH.
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly second Lisa's measured approach to this tragedy. On this very trying day, we mustn't lose our heads.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to formally apologize to Lisa. I was one of the many who didn't take the time to welcome you to the community; I regret that now. You are obviously an intelligent young woman. I was particularly impressed by your Power Grid win over Frog & World. Today isn't the day for important decisions, but you should know that there is a place on the Sabermetric Superteam for you, should you ever want it.
BREAKING NEWS: oyster's suicide note found addressed to wacko birdo! oyster driven to suicide by wacko birdo's sexual hijinx! read all the sordid details in BALL NEWS!
ReplyDeletesay it ain't so!
ReplyDeleteFace reality. The Oyster is dead and it's time to move on. Everybody knows that the Spring Chicken would make a better leader anyway. Let's dispense with the formalities and just make the Spring Chicken the commissioner from now on in. Anything else is just a time-waster.
ReplyDeleteLet me begin by thanking all of you. You've all shown great poise in this time of crisis. I believe this demonstrates the strength and character of our community, and I feel privileged to know each and every one of you.
ReplyDeleteToday I, like you, mourn the passing of our Commissioner. The Oyster will be remembered as a good friend, a congenial spirit, and a courageous leader. We thank him for his service to Playt.
The time will come -- and sooner than we can bear -- when we must face the difficult reality of succession. But this is a day for mourning, not a day for planning. I propose that we give the Oyster the most lavish funeral imaginable: one commensurate with its role as the first leading light of Playt.
Truly, today we are all Oysters.
cancel funeral, everybodeet.
ReplyDeleteoysterp save from wreck by jaws of life. of poky brown puppyt. puppyt charge into burning oldsmobuick and save crustyt. puppyt herope, everybodeet.
tweet fly oysterp to hospital in cityt. in eye see youp. in comap? hanging on by thread. luckilyt, U have other end of thread. so okayt! maybeet.
in waiting room with small tweet and pricklyt. hate to wait. no good video gane. also, wait bore meat.
SCOUNDREL
hooray! the oyster lives!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the Oyster is a vegetable, though.
ReplyDeleteIn this trying time, the Ecumenical Council of the Playt Box asks all objects of all faiths to come together and offer our prayers for The Oyster. Dear Lord who abideth in all things and all places, please deliver your friendly crustacean child back to the Playt community. Amen.
ReplyDeleteI am writing to clear a few things up. As you know, SCOUNDREL means well but is sometimes misleading.
ReplyDeleteThe Oyster is *not* in a coma. Oyster is just sleeping. The car crash was terrible, and it took Poky Brown Puppy hours to gnaw through the steel. Everyone is exhausted but we remain optimistic.
The Oyster is now in the Intensive Care Unit at Cityt Hospital. Visitation is restricted, but because of my healing background, they are allowing a little tweet to help. I intend to stay here until the Oyster is out of danger.
One final thing: The Oyster spoke to me on its stretcherp. Cloten is to be Acting Commissioner while The Oyster is incapacitated. The Oyster feels that Cloten has demonstrated intellectual capacity and leadership ability. Well, that's not *exactly* what The Oyster said, but I believe that it is what The Oyster meant. It was hard to communicate because the shell has been wired shut for now.
Fingers crossed,
Small Tweet
cloten??? that's grounds for impeachment right there.
ReplyDeleteOh no! What about the Special Election?
ReplyDeletei think cloten would make a good commissioner
ReplyDeleteI didn't ask for this.
ReplyDeleteCold Woman, maybe you ought to do it. You were Elections Chief, and you know everybody trusts you.
No, Cloten, you should do it. It is The Oyster's will. You have my full support.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who gives Cloten any trouble will have to answer to me personally.
