An Open Challenge to Gom: Survivor Style
Now that we both agree that we're both idiots, and completely incapable of taking the high road on matters and only attack ourselves personally, why not make this a little more interesting?
Allow those who post with us to "vote" one of us off for the remainder of the season (including playoffs).
I've done my best to alienate a lot of folks here. I've made threads, called people out, and made people upset as a result.
You're just a troll who gets his kicks and then runs away.
SO how 'bout it? Person with the most votes by the end of the season is out for the playoffs? Of course, you'll probably just say "It's not fair, this is a Sox board" and decline, and that's perfectly fine. It will just be a clear indication to me you know your reputation precedes you. And it's not like it's a permanent ban anyways.
So how 'bout it, Gom?

Re: An Open Challenge to Gom: Survivor Style
I wonder if Gom's super-secret PM army will reveal itself for their hero?

I know I'm concerned about it.
SOTK - I'm just tired of his act. I figure any reprieve is worth it, whether it be if I go or he goes.
If the Sox win on their own, he'd leave by himself. But I can't count on them right now.

Re: An Open Challenge to Gom: Survivor Style
Ummm, I vote against doing this.

Re: An Open Challenge to Gom: Survivor Style
I would never leave by myself. I would stay here and take my lumps. I intend to give you your lumps.
As for the challenge, I'll pass. Like you said, it's a Sox board, and I am positive I've pissed off more people than you.
Agree to the challenge, and miss out on the whole post-season ribbing I plan to give you after you get knocked out in the first round? That, my friend, is priceless.
I wonder if you would have made this challenge if you thought you Sox could go anywhere in the playoffs. Wouldn't you want me around while your Sox win their second championship in four years?

I was making light of your "take the high road" posturing you did in the other thread.
Besides, if the Sox win you'll be nowehere near this board anyways so it's a moot point.

Re: An Open Challenge to Gom: Survivor Style
I don't think this thread has anything to do with the Red Sox winning or loses, Gom.

If you guys win, I'll be here. Actually...wait a sec...I think I'm going to Egypt in November for three weeks....who do I have to check with here to make sure that it's ok to have a life outside of TalkSox.
If you win, I'll tip my cap to your team and your fan base. I know you won't.
But if we win.....all hell will break loose.

Gom's contention is that they wouldn't find him as annoying if the Sox were still up 10 games. A point which I agree with somewhat. I'm pretty sure Gom is well aware of that which is why he's noticeably turned up the needling since the All Star break.

Noone but it seems a little odd that your life only draws you away from us when the Yankees are struggling, no? Don't you have friends when things are going well for the Yankees?

True, but I was referring to Gom's comment on what Kilo things the Sox will do in the playoffs, and about that influencing this thread.

It's not that he turns up the needle when things are going well for the Yankees, it's that he's actually here to needle us when things are going well for the Yankees.
I will admit it's pretty classy of the Yankees organization to try their hardest to maintain the fact that their streaks and struggles fit around Gom's schedule.

Who me? Turn up the needling as my team gets closer. I would never do such a thing. :harhar:

In all seriousness, my father, who retired and now lives in Egypt, has come back in October every season since he moved to watch the playoffs. I buy him season tickets every year so he can go see the games at the stadium in October. He's getting up there in years, his health isn't that great, so I try to go out and see him when I can. Considering that my industry slows down in the winter, and that I work for myself, I am definitely going, just not sure when. Either November or January. I like Christmas in New York.

Having a life is one thing, bailing before you an eat crow every time is another.

Like Steinbrenner said after game 7 in '04, "Keep the lights on and let them celebrate. They deserve it."
Yep I don't give the Yanks credit at all.

Re: An Open Challenge to Gom: Survivor Style
The IQ keeps dropping....so...lets see...if I leave in November, and the Yankees don't win the World Series, and your Sox do, you'll have a few weeks to grill me.
BUT WAIT!!!
What if leave in January??? Oh, I must run and hide because of the latest TREMENDOUS FREE AGENT SIGNING THE SOX HAVE MADE...and I wasn't here to catch grief.
Did your parents have any children that lived, Kilo?
I won't leave until after the playoffs are over by about two weeks at the earliest. If you win the WS, you'll have plenty of time to get your shots in. If we win, I'll cram a season's worth of ribbing in those two weeks.
P.S. At what point did I say you didn't give us credit Kilo?

No Gom, my parents don't have any kids that lived.
As for not giving credit, it would be from the phrase "If you win, I'll tip my cap to your team and your fan base. I know you won't.''

Kilo, you have to change your avatar lol. Even though it's making fun of Jeter, I see it and think you're a Yankee fan because it's Jeter. Put the Pats one back.

I see that...fair enough.
I just hope you'll be here to catch grief after your team gets swept out of the first round.
You know what would suck? If we both got swept out of the first round.

Fuck. Now that I raised that possibility, I can't get it out of my head. Dammit.

Re: An Open Challenge to Gom: Survivor Style
lol. You pretty much completely crushed this subject.

Re: An Open Challenge to Gom: Survivor Style
Both teams being swept would give birth to an interesting conundrum for our buddy Gom... does he stay, needle the masses, and poke fun at the Red Sox inability to advance or does he, as per usual, flee when faced with the Yankees' failures?

Can I sit on the fence? You know...come back for a few days, launch a few barbs, then disappear? That would suck. Dammit...now I'm convinced we're both getting swept in the first round. Shit. I hate you all. :thumbdown

It is a fascinating, though not entirely unexpected, plot twist. I will admit that. :D
