This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

El K has some kinda random function per post that makes what's in the post completely batshit. You know how each post currently features:
(Oh, and of course, Michigan sucks)
His other feature is random. Almost all the time, you read a post (you Bruno, not the royal you), and you understand it. However, every 80th poster reads the same thing, and it's like a Twilight Post where Crispin Glover plays that Vampire chick.
El K has never confirmed this - it is only my theory. I just cannot understand how so many fucking clowns read the exact same thing as us and go running down the hallway flailing their arms like that Twilight Vampire Chick.
