NFR: In which I read my inadequacies into the Official Record, effectively forever

By: Sean | July 28th, 2008

(Sorry to butt in here. This is Sean’s internal editor. I don’t usually do this, but I just wanted you the HILARIOUS SHIT Sean has been typing and erasing for the last hour. I’ll talk in these handy parenthetical devices.)

The last month has been barren, dessicated, a landscape of twisted metaphor ending in eventual collapse from overwritingfatigue. (Joyce scholars, descend! DESCEND!)

I’m troubled by my growing empathy with the Fire. While our lads were staggering through a lossless lack of spark (where you going with this, bub?)

Perhaps my powers have now become complete. Perhaps, during my hours of Football Manager and thinking about the Fire’s roster, I had somehow transcended mere humanity, and in so doing had established control over the fortunes of that becalmed organization. It was only my melancholy which had held back the Fire! Only my moping! Lesson learned, universe! God as my witness, I shall NEVER … MOPE … AGAIN!! (Wow. Just … wow.)

(Point is, I guess, that both Our Lad and Our Lads have had less-than-stellar first halves of the summer. And it’s left for me to say that, me, the internal editor, the guy who never gets to say anything. Not that I’m really saying this. I think. Or … wait … I am.

(Ok, I’m not.

(.

(…

(Fine. I am.)

    I love this post. Inner turmoil is best when it’s available for all of us to read and comment on. But I don’t see the celebratory “Chad Barret is finally gone” paragraph that you obviously wrote (right? All Fire fans are rejoicing over that move).
