Play-By-Play Commentary

Alas, Poor Kox

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. My money's making money on top of money. Doubters, haters, those who won't parlay: we've got a game on our hands.

I'll take a butt joke over your fanciest Flickr flower portrait any morning. Add in a nod to the paper tear from our sister match, and you've got context. The proper context for a good butt joke? That's right: When it's just too easy to mock kox.

To the question about song lyrics for Kox, I received this from B. Amerika, "If Kox is going to be singing, I'd suggest one of those silly little ditties sung by Ophelia in Hamlet, your name being Rosencrans and all. The question is, who in the play would that make Hutch?"

Let's review:

1. Goddamn what Hamlet is he/she talking about? They've got a version with ditties?

2. It's Rosecrans. ROSECRANS.

3. Hutch, obviously, is Yorick. The question for me is, who's Kox? Keep sending those lyric ideas.
