The NBA lockout has given Stephen Jackson the time to work on one of his other passions…rapping. Check out his first music video where he eloquently gives his thoughts on the whole work stoppage situation.

Although the hanging of the tree killers might be a little too much.

A few weeks ago, I addressed an SCP commenter named Bobby, who posted a comment about model Kate Upton that we had to pull down off the site. You may remember. He got a bit explicit about the physical way in which he wanted to express his love for her.  While possibly well intentioned, the comment was simply too much for our fair site.

During my explanation, I joked that Bobby had typed it one handed.

That throwaway line prompted another reader to post a comment of his own. So now, for what I believe may be the first time in history, I present a takedown off a commenter who is commenting on another commenter’s comment.

Of course the Upton fan was only using one hand,and I agree with the deletion, but why is it everyone has to bad mouth those that don’t sit at Starbucks and use both hands to type. Maybe we should all shit can our our hardware and go home. Whoa what an exciting Al Gore world wide web you’d have the. Yeah, and my spelling and punctuation isn’t always perfect either.

First of all, David Shiel, thanks for reading. Now, go fuck yourself.

You don’t even know how to get offended correctly. You seem to think “typing one handed” is a reference to someone who didn’t learn the right way to use a qwerty keyboard.  It’s not. It’s a reference to masturbation. You know, jerkin’ it!

But, what I really enjoy is the way you jump from that innocent misconception into some sort of weird class warfare thing.  I’ll admit that Starbucks coffee is expensive, a bit strong and sometimes makes me feel extra-dehydrated after drinking it, but you must really hate it. I bet I know why. I imagine that you, David Shiel, were once in line at a Starbucks. It was a busy morning. There were many other customers in the line. But you weren’t sure what you wanted. You got to the counter and the barista asked what you wanted. YOU PANICKED! “Umm…I want a large coffee.”  The barista corrected you. “You mean a Venti.” The people behind you started to get impatient. “This guy doesn’t know how to order at Starbucks,” they grumbled imperceptibly and probably only in your head.  And you felt shame. Screw this place and screw these people, you thought. Screw them and their two handed keyboards!

I’ll admit, the next part of your comment has me confused:

 Maybe we should all shit can our our hardware and go home

That doesn’t make any sense. If you aren’t typing with two hands at the Starbucks, where else would you typing other than at your house? Where are you going home from. Also, you said “our” twice.

And what’s up with the shot at Al Gore? Are we still making Al Gore internet jokes? Aren’t those, like, 12 years old? Come on, David Shiel. You’re better than that.

Finally, you proclaim that your “spelling and punctuation isn’t always perfect.”  It should be “my spelling and punctuation AREN’T always perfect.” The verb in that sentence should reflect the plural subjects (spelling and punctuation.)

Anyway, I hope this clears up your confusion. And, as I said earlier, go fuck yourself.

Before today I always though that lakes were calm, peaceful, 4 ft deep and filled with snapper turtles. But apparently that’s not the case with Lake Michigan, which wreaked havoc on a few people yesterday in Chicago. Watch the full clip below:
