    Should we revive the off-season near news and rumors thread?

    I thought that was a fun and useful thread last off-season, and so I was thinking we ought to do it again. If you're new or if you don't remember, here's a bit that'll tell you what that thread was about.
    What do you think? Should we revive the off-season near news and rumors thread?

    Let's not be hasty.

    I think we need a poll.

    Revelation Smackdown! If you so much as dare to post something off-topic to DC United and hide it in one of these silly threads, I will hunt you down and ship you off to become a Metrodonkey fan faster than Ronnie O'Brien wets his pants after seeing the Demanator! I will brook no tolerance or common sense in this matter! Either you are with me or you are Metrodonkey!!!! :mad:

    Don't make me send you on the long ride to Jersey!!! I'll do it and won't even feel bad about it!!!

    I'm normally much worse than this. I would say that I actually am in a good mood! You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...

    Don't we need a poll about whether or not to have a poll?
    Damn! Who told revelation?

    Look who's talking about not being hasty. Do you seriously think we should start a poll about the off-season rumors thread before we've settled whether or not to change our tagline?


    Slow down there young fellah! Where's the fire????

    Your assumption being, of course, that we like you when you're not...

    I don't think it will be nearly as great as last year without Goff updating us now and again.

    I think this will be the best off-season ever. Seriously. Just look around, we've had a Mejido sighting, two soccer basher kornholio dramas, tales from the drunken wedding party, plans for decapitating goats, Deep Thoughts by Sanguie: Reflections on "the Quiet Ball", and it goes on. About the only thing that we haven't had is an actual god's honest troll (not a shell of one living on his past glories) come and stir the waters.

    So, let the rumours begin! Here's a suggestion: Eddie Pope may have called Kevin Payne asking to arrange a trade for him to come back.

    Cheers,
    Tim

    Let's wait till the expansion draft is over before starting it. So next week.

    OR

    We could start it now with the stipulation that only revelation-related topics are allowed. You know- what's he like, does he have any friends and if so what he pays them, various diseases that he's contracted, has the Cleveland stench worn off yet. Stuff like that.

    God it's gonna be a great winter!

    I think we need this thread to determine whether or not we need a poll which will in turn determine the status of us needing a run-off challenge for people who want to change the tagline, revive the rumor thread, have a happy hour, or any combination of the above. Then, once all that is settled, we will have accomplished nothing so we can start another thread like this one.

    No.

    Not enough apparently.

    This would violate HIPAA and several FCC regulations on public decency to describe them here.

    There never was any Cleveland stench, that was just my choice of Anacostia Dreams cologne...


    :D


    Ok, so I'm not very funny but I will make you scream like a Metrodonkey!

    I'm finding out about equipment sale but stay tuned for the mother of all UfDC auctions on eBay (I've seen the list of stuff, I ain't kidding!)

    Yeah I imagine they have a lot of "3 star" stuff to off load on us this year. :D

    Auctions are no fun, JH6 wins all those :(

    Sorry is not good enough! I hearby strip you of your DC United fandom!

    Please grab your squeegy and bucket and head north. When the land begins to stink, you will be close. Keep going until your nose bleeds from the stench and your ears burst from the noise and your mouth tastes like 500,000 year old ass. Then you know you are in the right place to join your new bretheren: The Troglodytes from Jersey: THE ESC!

    Your job will be to clean the filth from people's windshields and to appologize for the mess as they drive through on the turnpike to places infinitely better like Wilkes-Barre, Pennsyltucky or Hell's Kitchen, New Yahrk...

    :)

    Have a nice day! ;)
