More Things That May Be Due to Society
Last week, Carson bestowed upon us the brilliance of “Maybe it’s just society,” drawn from the mind of Vernon Wells and turned into pixels on this very space. For the uninitiated, observe, very much indirectly from the horse’s mouth (i.e. Vernon Wells):
Why would you waive your no-trade clause [to accept a trade to the Angels] and then opt out one year later? I never really thought about using it. You do a contract and you ask for certain things. That happened to be one I asked for and got. To be honest with you, I think about it as often as I think about the money.
Maybe it’s just society, but people put too much on struggling. All of a sudden, everything is negative — you’re a bad guy; you’re unhappy. It’s a struggle, yeah. But that’s all it is. I’ve struggled before. Baseball is such a different game. You can be an All-Star one year, struggle the next year and become an All-Star again. It is what it is. This is a great place to live, a great place to play. I’ve got a lot of good years left and I look forward to having them there.
Carson has created the meme, but what good is a meme if it is not sustained? So it is, without further ado, I present Some More Things That May Be Due To Society.
1. An objectively unfortunate Hamburglar costume.
2. Two guys with their dicks in boxes, not named Andy Samberg nor Justin Timberlake:
3. The most impossible combination of cool and uncool:
4. Everybody’s favorite resident of Grand Blanc, MI, you guys:
5. Something that may actually be due to Vernon Wells more than society, but still:
Jack Moore's work can be seen at VICE Sports and anywhere else you're willing to pay him to write. Buy his e-book.
Could somebody please explain #4.
@DadBoner on teh Twitterz.
You can thank me later for just wasting your entire day reading through it.
I clicked the link, but its’ not much dumber than the rest of Twitter.
ok, ok, I take it back. Yesterday’s batch of tweets did nothing for me, but I just scrolled through the earlier ones.
