Ode To A Darksider

[Tangodnzr]

ODE TO A DARKSIDER
a poem by Tangodnzr


Oh woe is me I beg to tell,
If it weren't for heaven I'd go to hell.
I have no vision nor can I see
beyond the next bend or behind the next tree

I wallow in the past and have no control
over my own emotions or of my own soul.
I'm up and I'm down all over the place
please calm me down now and give me some space.

The Cards will keep losing just you wait and see
been that way always and always will be.
I cry and I whine and I bitch and I moan
yet still those damn koolaiders won't leave me alone.

There's no use to hope and faith is a waste
no scent of victory shall this team soon taste.
So forget about winning and all of that crap
the Cards won't even spend their remaining cap.

I trust in no one especially myself
I see in all others a cheat or a foolish elf.
The coaches are all stupid why can't you see
I'm the only one that knows so listen to me.

Don't question my rants or confuse me with facts
I've already made up my mind as to how I will act.
but remember this, I have an excuse you see
I just havent grown up to be what I wanted to be.

Good stuff Tango.
Strange, in a sort of uncalled for way, but good stuff none the less.

 

[MadCardDisease]

That was actually pretty good.

 

[Skkorpion]

Ain't that the truth?

 

[Krangodnzr]

Give credit where credits due....


Good job Tango!

 

[Shane]

Funny!

 

[Rivercard]

Nice. I like that you played the foolish elf card.

 

[seesred]

now thats what I'm talking about.

GBR

All I can say is at least it isn't erotic.

Pretty clever. Just don't feel the need to cut and paste it in every other thread.

Man that is such a joke. Go read the Suns board or the D-Backs board and tell me how that poem applies to me. See guys, my disbelief overall in the Cards for THIS SEASON doesn't make me sad in all other areas of life - some of you wish to equate my outlook on a squad that I and many other knowledgable football fans see as possibly being the worst in football and just apply that to everything - and that is just flat out annoying. Tango - I haven't really said anything to you in a while, but heaven forbid I'm right about how bad we will be this season - you have given me the silver lining already - watching the Cards make fools of themselves won;t be as painful as other years because at the same time they will be making a complete and utter jackass out of you - not that you need any help in that area. Now I know - here comes the backlash - Cheesebeef wants us to lose! He hates the Cardinals! Well, that is certainly not the case - I don';t want to be sad every Sunday night druing fall - but at least I will get to come in here and read Tango's ridiculous rationalizations about how the team didn't quit when losing by 28 points - or how the coaching staff will most certianly stick around when they repeatedly fail, or that a player who so obviously has blown out his knee will be just fine.

Sorry boys if I'm not gonna get up in arms over a team that is 14 million dollars under the cap and has Fred Wakefield starting on our D-lIne or receivers who haven;t proven a damn thing. Skkorp - personally - even though you may dislike us, you still usually hold some kind of decorum here - and this thread just clearly calls us out - many of whom have actually turned a corner - to me that's just childih and immature. Tango why don't you go make another comment about someone's head being between someone's legs and get yourself banned again for the fourth time this year you sad excuse for flesh.

P.S. - Please don't write any more poetry to me or the others that care to take a REALISTIC view of this team. Don't you have better things to do with the apparent considerable time on your hands?

I meant in a good way. Give me a break I was rambling.

Tango is an adept writer, but I think he should stick to **** novels.

(The funny thing is: There is this "****" novel called Glover which is my last name. The guy named Glover goes around and gets tail the entire novel. )

This is the classic darksider philosophy at work right here folks - he goes on a long rambling diatribe about how crappy this team is/has been and how this season will be a disaster and calling posters here jackasses. But nooooo, he won't spend any energy "in a good way" (his own words). But I'm sure someone will be along shortly to tell me that I misinterpreted that.

Right - I forgot how often I tap myself on the back - don't you cosndier yourself to be a knowledgeable football fan? Most of my friends and people I know who watch sports seem to pride themselves on it.

But of course people will pick apart what I say rather than respond to the bigegr poictuire in what I wrote because well, what I write SCARES YOU! IT SCARES YOU ALL! IT SCARES YOU THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO READ ALL SEASON LONG MY DIATRIBES IN HOW I WAS RIGHT AND THERE WILL BE MORE JABS FROM THE MEDIA - but rest assured - once the season starts and we are as bad as I fear we will be, you won't find me here often, at least posting wise - cause it won't be any fun nor will I ultaimately revel in our losses - even Tango looking stupid couldn't make our losses feel any better - but you called us out - and you got me - THE DARKSIDE HAS RETURNED - THANK YOU TANGO FOR WAKING ME FROM MY SLUMBERSOME NAP! Go get 'em Graves - go spend that extra four million on garbage so WE DON;T GET FINED BY THE LEAGUE AND MAKE EVEN BIGGER ASSES OF OURSELVES THIS OFFSEASON!

Classic Kool-aid response. I call Tango a jackass - and all of a sudden I'm calling "posters" on the board jackasses - hence meaning mutliple - I think Tango is a jackass because he started a thread solely to antagonize - As far as the other point you brought out - I used a bad choice of words in "up in arms" - I was being sarcastic and should have said something more along the lines of "sorry if I;m not doing cartwheels over our 14 million dollars . . . " - but people will ginore everything else or twist words because well, it's really the only way I think people can go into this season with hope. That's my opinion - doesn't make it right, doesn't make you guys bad people (which is the feeling I get from a lot of you as far as the darksiders go) - it just makes you really want this team to win - so do I - but we have different opinions - sorry that mine so wrangles people's feathers, but good lord get over it already.

Cheese -

I like you and I think that you bring a lot to this board and are a knowledgeable fan. Nevertheless, posts like these do very little productive nor create interesting conversation or even controversy. They just hurt feelings. It's too shrill, man. Take some ether, mellow out a little. It's too much. I don't think that this team is going to be particulalry good, either, but it doesn't do any good to scream it out loud, especially in blanket generalizations like this.

I don't want to see you banned, man (You're probably in less danger of it than I ever was, but this is extreme). No one listens to anything that Tango has to say, because he's delusional. Can't we just talk about football?

Look! as soon as I find out what - bigegr poictuire... means, I'll try to respond...

 

[earthsci]

Why does Tango get to antagonize people and then those people have to defend themselves? I certainly wouldn't consider myself a darksider and yet I have been antagonized in the past by the kool-aid drinkers more than anyone else. Especially Tango.

Hey man - sometimes I forget that humor can;t really be translated through words on a screen. But regardless - he wanted me back - he got me back - just in his thread. Personally - though someone attacks and attacks and attacks in most other threads and then starts one about you - I just got fed up with it - that's all - and it can make for a fun day as well.

I hope people don't take me too seriously in here esepcially in this thread - people don;t know my sense of humor - there's a heavy amount of sarcasm there - with an inkling of truth.

Because he's a pathetic little coward?
Because he has a variety of fun and interesting social issues?

I don't know, and I'm not going to speculate (unlike all of these other fools) until I see something in writing, from a credible source, that actually says why.

Amazing. Simply amazing.
