Pollyellon banned me

MODS!

Huh?  Does this mean I actually have to start moderating now?  Or is Desipio so beautiful that it keeps you heathens calm and behav-y?

I think that article is shite.  I think a messageboard reflects the personality of the moderators.  I like to swear and make fun of people and so do all of you, so we basically make fun of each other all day.  Others are uptight and devoid of any complex thought and take everything personally, and rejoice in the ability to ban others from challenging their illusion of "fun."

So one of Al's minions, Kasey,has had a a wesbite with various strange and kitschy Cubs items on it (A warning to Thrill and any other designers/art geeks:  Looking at this sight may cause you to go blind).  Judging by the site, it was built in 1999 and hasn't been updated since about 2003, but one area of his site where Kasey has actually done some useful work is the area that lists all of the Cubs uniform numbers in history

So I see today where our favorite opportunistic, lowest-common denominator Cub fan got the brilliant idea to make a book out of the Cubs numbers.  What's funny, as Al details it, is that there had been a "numbers" book published by the Mets a year earlier, and this is what got Al to do one for the Cubs (not that swiping ideas from other people is new to Al).  The best part, though?  This Kasey fella actually knew the author of the Mets book. 

Kasey's been a friend of mine for many years and it was of this list that an idea was born last spring. Last April, I read this review of a new book called "Mets By The Numbers", and, knowing of Kasey's exhaustive research into Cubs uniform numbers, thought, "We could do this for the Cubs!" I contacted Kasey and discovered he knew one of the MBTN authors, and in the matter of a few emails with Matt Silverman, the other MBTN author, we had a contract with Skyhorse Publishing for "Cubs By The Numbers".

So let's recap.  50 year old virgin who posts his Cubs Donruss card at his website develops a list of Cub uniform numbers.  He actually knows a guy who developed a book on the same concept for the Mets.  So Al, sensing no opportunity too great to exploit, comes around to horn in on the guy's actions,.  Al did not come up with the idea nor did he get Kasey in touch with somebody that he didn't already know to develop it in book form.  He just basically inserted himself into the concept without bringing anything to the table.  Kasey does all of the heavy lifting and Al doesn't do jack.  And just guess who's name goes first on the book?


What a chode licker.

I can't wait until Topps sues them for all four dollars of their profit for using one of their cards on the cover without permission.

[Jon]

Jesus Herbert Walker Christ, that is the worst page design I've seen in over 10 years...

[djkkt6]

Wait... what?  You're upset that Al decided to make a book because Kasey is the one who tracks all the numbers?  Of all reasons to laugh at Al, that's a pretty dumb one.

Wait a second, look at the Sandberg card. That's 1983 Topps, right?
