Request to stop trying to morph McGrady's name 

Post#1 » by moofs » Tue Mar 3, 2009 4:53 pm

T-Wack, T-Crack, McLady, McLazy, McBaby, T-Stupid (haven't seen it but it's appropriately dumb), etc.

They aren't witty.

Think in terms of it being between "I'll shine your head for a quarter" jokes to a bald man and "I just flew into New Jersey and boy are my arms tired!" on the humor scale. It's painfully bad, to the point of making Kenny Smith seem funny.

Stop pls, kthx.

I'm going to go ahead and concur with moofybear. I think the only nickname for a Rockets player that is suitable, IMO, is Suga Shane Batttier because it's got a sexy ring to it and he's the greatest player of all time not named Olajuwon.

Either way, time for dancing cat to make an appearance:

Now this thread can succeed properly.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Its the forum. Its like telling people to stop being fans of a certain player.

Ain't happening.

Also would that also mean posters like T-wack shouldn't be posting. LawL

Amel, I'm glad that what I'm saying is completely lost on you, since that wasn't my point at all.
Keep doing what you do.

smapor, in a way yes, in another way, pointing out that something is dumb and gratingly annoying should, in theory, help *some* people realize that they aren't being clever or derogatory of their target, which is their intent. Some people will never get it, others might, in which case the problem is reduced. Hey! It's possible their target audience is other people who post similarly ill-contrived and mundane insults, in which case I guess they haven't failed after all!

lyrics to "Tracy" by The Cuff Links (1969)

Tracy, when I'm with you
Somethin' you do bounces me off the ceiling
Tracy, day after day
When you're this way, I get a lovin' feelin'

Come with me, don't say "No"
Hold me close, Tracy never let go

Tracy, you're gonna be
Happy with me, I'll build a world around you
Filled with love everywhere
And when you're there you'll be so glad I found you

Come with me, don't say "No"
Hold me close, Tracy, never, never, ever let me go

Moofs,

I seriously doubt people use versions of "tmac" to make you laugh or wow you with their creativity/wit. If you want these boards to conform, should we not even use "tmac" anymore? Should we just refer to every player by their proper names? Tracy or McGrady....or Tracy McGrady....only from now on.

If people find that I call Aaron Brooks....AB, corny or "stupid" should I stop that too? I think the point of a conversation or post is so other people can understand the point you're trying to get across.

I would have made this topic awhile ago, but as you can tell, it brings the retards out in full swing, so I find it's best to just ignore their idiocy.
