Does Anyone Really Really Like Manny?

Im not being rude-- its just a simple question

Like I've said ALL Along...

maybe your work should be marked with an asterisk manny...

Can you write what the asterisk should mean? :)

besides what have I done that's asterisk worthy? You can't prove anything!

It's gonna be an interesting summer, y'all! Two weeks til my Armchair anniversary!

The ignore button only helps so much...

(If you didn't like me before, then you'll be writing even more articles like this about me in the future)

Do you jerk off while fantasizing about yourself?

Would it turn you on if I said yes? I'm very flattered you would have your mind in a place that would conjur that question... Ummm.. thanks? I guess?

I've just never read a column where a person wrote it in the third person--

Is Jamel going to burn out..... Jamel is at 200 + amazing columns...written by Jamel. It's just odd-

So do you hold a mirror with your other hand while masturbating with the other?

Don't need to... Original, thoughtful, insightful, ODD angled take on sports and it's intersection with our lives. ALL original and completely unique. With an occasional twist of ACTUAL journalism: **Self Promo ALERT** I'll be covering the Devil Rays - Diamondbacks series in Phoenix next week... Here's the difference: I have a gimmick, You ARE a gimmick.

...and I never intended on ever writing about sports because Yes, Captain Einstein... I AM a know it all.

You know isht because you look it up. I know isht because I remember it... I pay attention to alot of things normal people don't. Even way back in them days befo' the internet...

It's a big world out there... don't get hurt.

Are you threatening me?

alright, i feel better now...

AT first I was right there where you were, but then I saw it was free advertising for me, so I figured? WHY NOT? All my aquariums are cleaned (it's Wednesday!) and the kids are napping... I'm well rested and am trying to do the Gemeni article at the last moment... FREE advertising! Besides, why did you click on it if you knew what it was?

I'm a masochist, what can I say...plus I wanted to see your response...and I had to add the asterisk thing...

Your kids must sleep a lot-- do you drugs your kid? My 6 week old baby was up crying all night- what do you use? I tried some alcohol but that didn't work- even tried some cough syrup

Now that I think about it... hasn't this been done BEFORE?

oh, and i was trying to kill about 15 minutes...

well played, JuT... honesty always is funnier than the truth.

what does that even mean?

thanks asskiss! (kidding) I like everyone here, I know that much! I plus the shit out of stuff I don't agree with ALL the TIME! ANd I think it's funny! When I get bored, I go back and + Pnatt's articles =)

I think that you're the 2nd most liked person here. Dan is friends with everyone, according to his userpage

Thanks FP, I never knew I was so well respected ; - )

FP are you one of Manny's kids?

I sure hope not...

What about REMs EVERYONE HURTS

what college did Daddy pay for you to go to??? I swear I am blacker than you are... if you ever ate collard greens, they were organic!

Public Enemy! You chose Rage??? I would have gone Cold Steel in the Hour of Darkness on you, Bring the NOIZE!!! Maybe a little Ice-T - You betta watch what you say! Wu Tang - Bring the emephing ruckus??? 2Pac - Hit 'em up!!! Ballerz BAll, WHERE is the KANYE coming from? I hear it everywhere but from you chi-town posers - I'm a ghetto bastard!BDP's My Philosophy - "This is just one Stile out of Manny, I'm a piggy bank, you're just one penny - you just a butter knife, I'm a machete!!!"

REM sucks! I can beat three chords and my cats at the same time, WHY would I listen to REM??? I am never checking what you say ever again!!!

Gimme a little Radiohead - Creep

Velvet Underground, Why not Nirvana Rape Me?? or anything by a chick - Ani DiFranco - yeah I've seen her lots of times - LOVE her, and Sarah McLachlan's ANGELIC French Canadian voice and songcrafting skills...

You opened a can o' worms.... woooo! Topic=Music, and you said "REM..."

(shakes head in utter distraught and starts humming "A Love Supreme")

I told you I don't like rap-- how freakin hard is that to get thru your skull? Wuutang? Who is that? Are they are good as Vanilla Ice- I liked him-- Ice Ice Baby is pretty good-- or remember Marky Mark- he should never have gone into acting but instead stayed with his music carrier

Jamel reads Manny's comments and shakes his head in utter disgust. He places his hand to his chin and raises and eyebrow. He starts to sing to himself.....

All right stop Collaborate and listen Ice is back with my brand new invention Something grabs ahold of me tightly Then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly Will it ever stop? Yo-- I don't know Turn off the lights and I'll glow To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle Dance

Bum rush the speaker that booms

I can relate to radio head...creep is clearly the best song off that album...manny, do you like muse?

Rap, for the most part, is dead. Dre's done. Jay-z's done. Who knows what the hell Snoop's up to. Eminem's done. Outkast is essentially done. NWA stopped years ago. Ludacris isn't bad, but besides him, the only active rap artist I like is Atmosphere. They're from Mineapolis.

the hotbed of rap that minneapolis is...

It far from a Rap hotbed, but Atmosphere is awsome

Atmosphere? AHH WHITE FOLKS! How about El-P - That is the SHISSSNITE!

appearantly so...

I wonder if "is my hate club is bigger than my fan club?" is a bigger waste of time then "let's talk about people we're jealous of"

I'd rather talk about who I'm jealous of...

I guess I'm jealous of Jay Mariotti... at least he gets paid to be insulted by morons. PLUS his fan club can't even band together to make their own website hoppin'!

Run to JTJ... I think I hear R.E.M. playing...

wrong spot ManRays...

Seems only FP is in your exclusive "Fan" Club. Sounds about right.

no, it's just Manny and I are just about the only one's that are here all day

And what does that tell you?

)

you chose to be here too??

Jamel says ManRays??? From now on Jamel wants to be referred to as JamSox.

Hey Jamsox, how'd you like that beatdown the phils put on the white sox this week?

JamSox no longer worries about that stuff anymore-- JamSox is waiting for JamBear time

we're all waiting for football season...

Ju have you ever gone over to youtube and searched Manny stiles?

ManRays started from Man Wags, as everyone refered to Manny as a Bandwagon jumper. Then he got the Rays blog, and now some of us call him ManRays

What is everyone smoking? The NFL has a 365 day season. Every day is Football season... :)

Pot mostly, but a little crack occasionally...

I'm certainly more popular than Elijah Dukes is lately...

Time for a contest...

Whoever poses the best (non-incident related) question for Elijah Dukes wins me asking him the question and reporting back the answer...

Can we center the question around the word "cunt" or is that being too naughty?

Oh, I forgot to add: You gotta be on my not-IGNORED list for me to see the questions! The thing doesn't even tell you which of your two ignorees is commenting... very handy!

Oh no!!! If I get minuses, I might not make it to 500,000 points today!!! I'll have to edit until dawn tomorrow!!!

Tyrone, how close were you to those shootings that happened on the south side?

Well, Tyrone... at least you'll be closer to people like yourself... Cubs fans. Must've been HARD living on the South Side (snicker, snicker) as a Cubs fan...

OH!!! I can't do it, Why talk Cubs when we can talk REAL baseball???

You know the Cubs suck when a Devil Rays fan can make fun of them!!!

Ernie Banks was my dad's hero.

Muhammad Ali was my Dad's hero. Named his second baby "Clay" after him - he died of SIDS in 1963

Jamel says thats a very sad story. Why did you share that Manny? said Jamel

why'd you minus me Tyrone? Is it because you don't want to answer because you live in the North Chicago Suburbs and not in the south side?

It is if you are the one doing pitching BP.

You say you like jazz, but don't even smirk at a John Coltrane A Love Supreme reference... YOU don't even know what jazz is...

or Should I whip up some Bitches Brew?

You say you don't like rap, but quote Vanilla Ice? You're Music Opinion Card has been revoked... ewww. Go watch South Park... may I recommend Robot Chicken? Go watch them all... two times.

Jamel laughs out loud after reading Manny's comment. He takes a sip from his beer and wonders....Where's your head at, at, at, at...

Where's your head at Where's your head at Where's your head at

Where's your head at Where's your head at Where's your head at

Where's your head at Where's your head at

Where's your head at

I hope you didn't spike your beer with stupid again...

Jamel snickers-- spiked with stupid???? Priceless-- Jamel thinks to himself that Manny should write mastercard commercials.

Jamel says "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha" He finishes his beer and goes over to the kitchen to make a.......milkshake. He tilts his head to the right and thinks-- what kind of milkshake does Manny like- Jamel burts out singing: My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,

And their life Is better than yours, Damn right is better than yours, I can teach you, But i have to charge

I know you want it, The thing that makes me, What the guys go crazy for. They lose their minds, The way i wind,

I think its time

Whoops, sorry, Jamel. It's like I can't even tell the difference between your writing styles.

Focus on writing? You've got to be kidding.

Quiting his job to focus on his writing and his parenting???? Jamel laughs so hard coffee comes out of his nose. Manny has already admitted his wife makes more money than him and that he looks better in a dress than his wife-- therefore, naturally Manny became Mr Mom. Jamel doesn't actually have a problem with this except the only way ManRays can submit the amount of material he does is if his kids sleep 23 hours a day.
