DRB Meme Updates

PrintAn easy observation from the QA thread was that DRB at times seems like a boys' club filled with inside jokes. While there are certainly plenty of attempts at humor, there's no reason for them to be perceived as inside jokes. With that in mind I am opening this thread to discuss memes to add to the outdated meme guide. R.J. provided the initial comments and as the least funny guy on the site I don't dare follow step. It would be excellent if the GDT community could help spice up the guide with the explanations. Maybe the time is NOW to remove some older outdated memes as well. I will get the ball rolling with these suggestions. To be added to the list a meme must turn green. You can suggest the removal of a meme as well, but 3 removal veto's and the meme sticks.

FREE SPEACH is a myth. There is no such thing as 100% free speech. You cannot go into a movie theater and say "FIRE"!…"What? I have freedom of speach!" Bull. Doesnt work that way. Any real lawyer will tell you that.

/Just Kidding.
When it comes to Eric Berry, Tennessee fans have seen and heard it all. He's known as "The Fifth Dimension". "Two-thirds of the planet is covered by water; the rest is covered by Eric Berry." The Tennessee "Minister of Defense". Besides Chuck Norris, who is the only guy to crash into Tim Tebow head-to-head and live to tell about it? Eric Berry.
So...
You want to get rid of the inside jokes, but you’re okay with it being a boys’ club? I’ll keep that in mind.
Bah, that was the perception expressed, humor is not confined to the male gender

I do hope you are just busting my chops and not misconstruing the post
Obviously we are very happy to have you and any other female Rays’ fans around. The epic failure of this post is on the verge of becoming a meme. Come tomorrow I will have to bury my head back into spreadsheets.

This is why we can't have nice things, people.

The problem with the meme guide is it isn't really a guide.
About half of it is a guide, and the other half is actually more inside jokes.
I’m working on an update to the ‘how not to get banned’ post, which will be retitled ‘The DRaysBay Community Guide’
"Sure, because of the "cold weather" and rain." More bait and switch tactics by the New York owners of this team." --NikoHoullis, the lead blogger at Buc'em on racial and anti-semitic insensitivity.
Actually, that wasn't too hard.
Same link, just updated the article: http://www.draysbay.com/2009/7/23/958850/the-new-users-guide-on-how-to-not
Said everything it said before, just cut the length in half.

That looks great!
We’ll definitely have to re-main-page it at some point soon. Maybe once the season gets closer and we see an increase in random peeps…?
I love Casey Fossum. Now try and take me seriously.

However you wish to handle it is fine, IIRC this is linked on the new user signup screen. I don't know if you have the abilty to refresh it's date and front-page it.
If not, then you could just transpose the text and throw it in a new post when you feel the time is right.

Okay....so we have one meme down.
Are we taking picture and animated gif entries as well? Because there have been a couple new ones from photo caption contests that deserve to be re-used.

This is surely a winner

Do you always hold hands and share garlic fries at a Rays game with people you hate?

Are 'garlic fries' some kind of new-age synonym for 'boquet of dicks'?

I just imagine this being used a lot for the next many years

Are you ready to put Sean Rodriguez in the HoF? I'm going out on a limb and saying he hits 400 homers this year.
