In the spirit of the day let me say BOO!
In the spirit of the other meanings let me agree with the GOP Presidential "debaters" about the media in general. They don't do a good job of covering the elections in a serious manner, but that's not what they (the "debaters") were talking about. They were deflecting all the serious questions by beating up on the media.
But my current beef isn't with that part of the media, it's the sports media and what they consider CW. And how once they grab onto a meme they are loath to let it go. I'll not go in to the specifics of my beef right now because we'll get sidetracked into just the kind of sidebar discussions the sports media is encouraging.
However, I will bring up another beef I have with overpaid game commentators. DO YOUR FUCKING HOMEWORK before you call a game. By that I mean watch film of both teams and be prepared . Learn the NAMES of the players. Elijah Hood is NOT Elijah Wood you damned idiot. Elijah Wood played Frodo Baggins. Elijah Hood is the running back for the North Carolina Tarheels football team.
If you had watched film on the teams you're covering you wouldn't be surprised when a team does what it has done in every game this year. Your surprise just tells me you're too damned lazy. Also I don't give a crap about your opinion about a particular play in a particular situation. If you really knew what you were talking about someone would have hired you as a coach. And if you ever were, maybe there's a reason you aren't now.
The floor is open!
On with the games!!
Mojo Friday Guidelines
Disclaimer; Kinda like the Pirates Code, they're just guidelines, meant for fun. They aren't hard and fast rules.
1) If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
2) Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
3) You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
4) You don't have to comment to recommend.
5) You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen. It has in numerous forms, I'm flattered!)
6) Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
7) TexDem (that's me) is not bound by the guidelines. Neither are you
Mojo Friday Goals
Disclaimer; These are mostly here for nostalgia, the site has changed so much and the servers have been upgraded to the point I don't think we could fuck with the site with 1000 people participating. 2007 it ain't.
A. At least 300 different commenters and 1000 comments by 1:30 PM EST and 1500 by 5:00 PM EST Friday Night that it's posted.
B. 100 recommends for each comment, at least.
C. Stay on Recommend List at least five hours (this requires some strategic planning by you guys, refer to guideline #3)
D. At least 200 diary recommends. 300 would be better, spread the word.
E. And always, fun fun fun.
F. Have at least 75% average participation rate as seen here in the Mojo Friday Postgame Show by bjedward.
Although it's been months(3) since a Mojo Friday Postgame Show has been published. bjedward has been incredibly busy and no one has stepped up to offer to assist him. If you guys are still interested in seeing the MFPS you need to let bje know and maybe "a team" of you pitch in to make it happen. Our program for capturing the info needs a major update and overhaul too.
G. (New) Have at least 30 kossacks over 90% participation (see here for some tips).
H. Overload the servers with recommends, not to mention dominate Top Comments Mojo list. (we do tend to mess with the site with all of our recommends at one time)(also, to dominate the Top Comments Top Mojo we need at least 50 comments with over 200 recommends, see guideline B)
I. That's enough for now. (Have a suggestion? Post it.)
MKinTN posted a diary to help everyone achieve greater success called How to Succeed at Mojo Friday Without Really Trying.
