So I was reading
WCH and he linked to some paint-huffer over at the Badger Beat whining about anonymity on the internet and the mean things people say on blogs and message boards.I don’t really care who this guy is, but I read through the comments because I was bored and curious (a dangerous combination!) and though most of them are annoying blowhards trying to use big words so that the whiny author won’t lump them in with other blog and message board commenters (jeez, talk about biting the hand that feeds you!), one comment by someone named “UnknownBadger” is just too amazing not to share with my readers.
“What gets me is the shallowness exhibited by the WSJ over the years. It’s so
willing to castrate a player for smoking pot but seemingly overlooks or at least
down plays a coach’s son for cooking a parrot.”
WHAT??? COOKING A PARROT??? People in Wisconsin are sick. It is glorious in its randomness. The commenter’s grammar kind of sucks though.
I investigated further, and it looks like Alvarez’s kid wasn’t cooking the parrot because it was tasty, but rather because he was being a petulant brat about some sort of email. And it was cooked in a microwave, not in a pot on the stove.
