I don't understand the Fanhouse feedback, sometimes. Some unsatisfied customers of our high-price service have called us a "humor blog," suggesting that they "don't get it" and that they could better obtain a type of currency called "lulz" elsewhere. This could not be further from the truth. We are not a humor blog. These are actual transcripts from the official chatroom of Major League Baseball. I don't think we've ever hidden that fact. It's like found art. A tampon in a teacup.
For example, today's Dugout is an excerpt from Roger Clemens' court hearing, an event that happens in the future and involves some random cursing and references to popular culture. Why would we write this? This is for your information.
Roger Clemens explains his screen name in detail after the jump.
The Dugout
 |
Lawyer: If you could, please state your name for the court.
|
 |
OldLOL: koby aaron clemens and i am 22 years old
|
 |
Lawyer: if you could please state your ACTUAL name for the court
|
 |
OldLOL: not going to work?
fine, roger clemens
|
 |
Lawyer: Mr. Clemens, before we begin could you please explain your screen name; is it a reference to some sort of movie or colloquial saying?
|
 |
OldLOL: nope i am just incredibly too old and to a humorous degree
|
 |
Lawyer: And is there any correlation between your screen name and UCLA Molecular and Medical Pharmacist Don Catlin's AIM handle of "LOLCatlin?"
|
 |
OldLOL: no -- don catlin's nom de internet is based on the popular macro-series "lolcat," a collection of pictures of cats and the like doing some dumb junk while big white phrases expound
for example, say a kitten is eatin some soaps, and then he looks all weird and the text says "I AM EATING SOME OF TEH SOAPZ"
|
 |
Lawyer: and the cats speak in some kind of broken pig-latin freak language?
|
 |
OldLOL: yes, for you see they do not have the highly evolved brains of you and i, they are merely cats, and if they could speak they might speak like manny ramirez with a mouth full of soap
|
 |
Lawyer: and your screen name means you are a total old joke and should be the focal point of derision
|
 |
OldLOL: /leans in close to microphone
that is correct
|
 |
Lawyer: Mr. Clemens, at any point in time did former Yankees trainer Brian McNamee inject your person with performance enhancing drugs such as steroids and HGH?
|
 |
OldLOL: no he did not
namey mcnamerson injected me with lidocaine and b-12. it's for my joints, and b-12 i still take today these accusations are ridiculous and i have never taken any banned substances
|
 |
Lawyer: do you swear
|
|
OldLOL: on my retarded son's grave, yes
|
 |
Lawyer: all right Mr. Clemens, thank you for your testimony and I'm glad we got that matter cleared up.
Now, if I could just ask you a follow-up question: Have you done steroids?
|
 |
OldLOL: oh all the time
|
 |
OldLOL: one time raffy palmeiro and jose canseco were smoking pills with me on the field in the middle of a road game in texas and bill ripken tried to stop us, he was all, "hey guys there's a game going on i don't know maybe you should stop drinking rock"
|
 |
OldLOL: so i was all, "hey [Rick Face] why don't you kiss my ass the ripken way"
|
 |
OldLOL: after the game a few of us guys went out to the steroid bars in mcmaynerbury and took turns injecting pine tar into our butts, that was messed up i don't know what we were planning to do with it in there but i bet it woulda really pissed off george brett
|
 |
OldLOL: i had this big stain on my butt, this big wet spot like RIGHT there for YEARS after that
|
 |
OldLOL: that night we came up with the 'craig lefferts cocktail,' which is one part spiced rum one part sour apple schnapps and sixteen parts hgh
ol gw bush was there that night an he drank several, shortly after he started tellin us about his dreams to one day trade blood to people in exchange for oil
|
 |
OldLOL: those were good times, i don't know why i never ended up pitching down there
oh right it was probably my wife and kids
|
 |
OldLOL: one time i shot up my kid with a bunch of steroids and then killed him in the crossface crippler
nah i'm just kidding that isn't even the name of the move
|
 |
OldLOL: but one time i did hit koby over the head with a carafe of androstenone
man that kid would not shut up
|
 |
OldLOL: anyway, i've got a lit joint full of steroids hidden in the back of my mouth like in that one episode of cheers so if we could get to the next question i would appreciate it
|
 |
Lawyer: So your answer is "yes I have done steroids?" |
 |
OldLOL: no, of course not, how did you infer that
i'm being misquoted here i didn't understand the question
i have a lit joint of b-12 in my mouth it helps the joints in my jaw
|
 |
OldLOL: these accusations are false and it is my right to be a total jerk about it until i am found guilty of perjury in a court of law
|
 |
Lawyer: No further questions your honor.
|
 |
OldLOL: thank god now onto more pressing matters
i can has cheeseburger?
|
 |
Lawyer: Oh brother ! |

to the author of this article.
why would you dare make the comment,"on my ____________ son's grave?"
did you actually look at that when you wrote it and thought it was funny. i mean - did you really? were you strapped for something - ahem - funny to say and believed that line would make a person laugh?
i am not the parent of a ________ child nor do i even know of anyone who is but your choice of words has further increased my fear that humans,such as yourself,are in a position to make use of such poisonous words and are likely to be proud of that power. you surely must have a gratifying sense of duty, don't you?
no amount of rationalizing or denial or name calling could ever dissuade me that you, my fellow human, are part of the problem and not the solution. i sincerely hope that statement permanantly adheres itself to your brain as a lesson for your totally insensitive behavior.
you should be embarrassed..............for yourself.

Mr. Quinn lighten up. I'm sure that word (which you can't even bring yourself to type) was used for comedic purposes only. The bigger question is, why is a man of your intellect reading the dugout chats if you find them offensive?

Maybe I don't get it, but I think the word in questions was used BECAUSE people find it offensive, and it just illustrates that Roger Clemens is a big stupid jerk. Uh... right?
Adhere THAT to your brain!

last time i checked there is no need to blank out the word "retarded", seeing as it's not a swear word. in fact, it's a medical term and actual retarded people are actually called retarded people.
pc douche.

Hey remember when you guys were R-rated and awesome (as opposed to this PG-rated crud, which is still kinda funny but instead of me having to take an extra long lunch after EVERY new dugout because I couldnt stop laughing, now every 5th dugout or so I let out a big HAH 1 time and am over it), but more importantly, when you guys were www.wordupthome.com you did NOT have a "comments" section where morons can post all the different ways they dont understand your funnytime page??????......yeah that was really awesome.
Nearly half of the "commentors" here are total morons who dont understand this concept called "humor". Remember that fateful day of infamy when FJM opened their comments section up? Yeah it was as painful as this so they shut it down.....I just hope you guys are getting P-A-I-D for these because this ballsless dugout is maybe the biggest flip in internet history, how can something so awesome turn so shitty in a matter of 1 day?
