Announcement from Cougar2000 (Includes 'The Office' Quotes!)

Posted by Cougar2000
467 days ago


To whom it may concern:

I joined ArmchairGM because I love sports and some if not all of the things dealing with sports. I posted as much as I could and commented and corrected when needed.

When that love is threatened, as well as my personal integrity, I feel the need to respond.

To that end, I am responding to charges that I plagerized two stories on Michelle Wie that I posted a couple of weeks ago. This is not the case, since I quoted the source that I used in the stories in question. Other media outlets quote sources. That's what I did. Period!

I am announcing that I am leaving ArmchairGM effective immediately. The reasons why I am leaving are because of personal attacks made on my character with the comment about being a phedophile, which is not the case. I am also leaving because of the pettiness with the lenght (or lack of lenght) of my columns. Since when is length a requirement?

I have pulled some of my better works and will be using them at Gather.com. And yes, I do give the sources there as I did here.

I though AGM was going to be fun. In the last few months, it has gotten my blood pressure up and that's not good. I bid you farewell and hope we meet down the road again in the future.

It's always tough to see someone leave, but Cougar, we've caught you plagiarizing many times, and you set yourself up for said accusations.


I don't know the whole story, but as I said above, you set yourself up.


Peace Coug.

If you cannot handle the heat then you got to get out the kitchen. Just the way it is. It sucks to see a person leave, but the Chair will live on as always. No one users is bigger than the cause, not even the AGM Linebacker.

I have no idea why the heck you posted 2 topics on this when you could've just given the news straight up.


I looked at your last article, it's plagiarism. The news story you delivered came from the AP, that's the only source you listed glancing at it. You never listed the sources of the quotes.....actually, I don't think you ever list the source of your quotes.

Michael: Yes, Dwight Schrute has left this company. More personnel turnover.

Andy: The cost of doing business.

Michael: Yes, well. It is a big loss. Dwight was the top salesman...

Andy: Was the top salesman...

Michael: I said was.

Andy: [chuckles] Addition by subtraction.

Michael: What does that even mean? That is impossible.

Andy: Mmmm. Yeah you're right.

Michael: But, there is some good news. Oscar is back. Addition by addition. So we are going to have a big party today to welcome him back and hopefully that will lift everybody's spirits.

Not sure it really belongs here, but since we're talking about The Office:


Roy: Well, what is your type?


Jim: ...Moms, primarily. Yup. Soccer moms. Single moms. Nascar moms. Any type of mom really.


Kevin: Stay away from my mom...


Jim: Too late, Kev.

Well, since this has turned into an Office quote bonanza, the laws of nature say that I must jump in.


Ryan: Did this happen on company property?

Michael Scott: It was on company property, with company property. So, double jeopardy, we're fine.

Ryan: I don't think-- I don't think you understand how jeopardy works.

Michael Scott: Oh, I'm sorry. What is, 'we're fine'?

As an aside, quotations is the noun, not quotes. That's wrong even in American English...

Some of us don't like to type Alex. I use the word "quotes" instead of "quotations" as well. Not do a lack of understanding, but rather due to the desire to minimize my potential for typos (sorry, I mean typographical errors).

I don't see the point of minimalising potential for typos when you're going to make another mistake to reduce it.

The battle between Adidas and the University of Central Florida over the brand of shoes Michael Jordan's son will wear has cost the school any future sponsorship with Adidas. Ring, ring. That must be Nike on the phone.
