Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, January 06, 2009

A group of honors students at LSU have begun their own quidditch team, playing a "muggle" version of the sport in the Harry Potter novels. Players chase after a human snitch dressed in yellow, trying to pull a long sock with a tennis ball inside it out of his or her pants. "We just keep the broomsticks between our legs at all times to keep the wizarding feeling a part of the game," said player Sarah Berard.

I would imagine ESPN would pick up quidditch in that lull between football and baseball when they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for shit to cover. Dominoes. Darts. Bowling. Scrabble. Magic: the Gathering. In that kind of company, it's not too inconceivable.

Hey. They're outdoors. They're getting _exercise_. Could be worse, y'know.

How do they fly around on broomsticks?

Ai yah tien ah, the things some people come up with...

/burns the HP books he owns
//burns the village
///burns his dinner... Damnit!

Just hysterical:
The LSU team hasn't let the lack of flying broomsticks or a snitch stop them from a season of success, they've merely adapted to the muggle versionthe game for non-wizards and witches. They run with broomsticks between their legs, but are still chasing after the snitch and heading toward the goals.

"Aside from the lack of flying, not much else is different than wizard Quidditch," said Dustin Harless, Quidditch team president. "Muggle Quidditch has an additional bludger and the snitch is an actual person who evades the seekers."

How many black players are there? I'll bet zero. First and foremost geeks don't like black people. Also, it was mentioned that it was the Honors College.*

LOL... as if it needed to be pointed out.

NERDS!

Did you see Cbob in the thread about Burris? I think he believes he used my own posts against me to make it look like he "got me".

Spud luff a fine game of Quidditch!

You know wot Spud sez...No haversacking or quaffle-pocking allowed!

Fer the record, Spud only plays the online version due to Spud's nifty house arrest anklet.

Be Well.

"I'll bet zero."
Wrong - whether the poster is a dink or not, wrong nevertheless.

.....at some schools, the kids drink too much....

.....at others, it seems they don't drink enough....

There's a shock. The creepy fuck is all sorts of familiar with the childrens novel/movies.


**** How do they fly around on broomsticks?

...start with a tall building with a flat roof.....then.....

101 didn't even notice it was a spoof, I think that means I did a good job. For the record, I had to look that shit up on wikipedia, there's a rather lengthy article on quidditch.

Damn you!
I did the usual "Oh, there's that dumbfuck creepy canuck's ridiculously creepy writing style!" and then quit reading.

The whole ankle bracelet thing at the end would have been a dead give away had I made it that far.

Well done.

To me it was like two ships passing in the night with their lights off, but I don't know...

Check out the tough guy 4 in from the left.

Still though I guess there are worse things they could be doing... not sure what though.

I'd show that blond in the middle my broomstick....

... this is about the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

And I've met those jackoffs who dress up as Star Trek people and go around to ren faires staying "in character".

Can't hold a candle to Korollo. I used to play center goalie, myself.

"First and foremost geeks don't like black people."

Wrong. Refer to Revenge of the Nerds.

Why are they wearing tights?

These college students have too much time on their hands while they are studying tough courses like astrology, queer studies, and black history.

When these knuckleheads are done with 7 years of college they couldn't hold down a job at Micket D's.

Other college teams include Vassar College, Bucknell University, Oberlin, Whitman College, and Marlboro College. For LSU, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette is its biggest local rival.

"Supposedly McNeese, Tulane, and Southeastern have teams, but that has yet to be confirmed," he said. "Over 100 schools in the nation have teams though, as well as certain schools in other countries."

Wow it is spreading like a disease.

Quandry: If this becomes popular and they start selling tickets is J.K. Rowling entitled to royalties?

Wrong. Refer to Revenge of the Nerds.=

Clap your hands everybody, and everybody clap your hands. We're Lambda Lambda Lambda and Omega Mu. We come here on stage tonight to do our show for you. We got a rockin' rhythm and a hi-tech sound that'll make you move your body down to the ground. We got Poindexter on the violin, and Lewis and Gilbert will be joining in. We got Booger Presley on the mean guitar and a rap by little ol' me Lamar (he's the black guy). We got Takashi beating on his gong, the boys and the Mu's are clapping along. And just when you thought, ya seen it all, along comes a Lambda four foot tall. So Wormser come on out here on the floor, so we can move our bodies, like never before. Break!

They have a word for people who play this game....





VIRGINS!


My previous post was just a cheap shot, meant in good fun.


Personally I do Ham Radio Foxhunting. To most people, this would be strange.

Be Well.

Weak retort, buddy.

I flagged it as abusive. There is no place for those types of retorts here at Drudge.

This explains why Spud is still posting here:

www.thecanadianencyclopedia.co
m

how did the spud pedophile joke begin? I tried searching "spud + pedophile" on the retort database, but too many links came up.

Why is Joe the Poofter picking on Spud all of a sudden?

I guess he's trying to get in to the Chairpoodle's panties the best way he can. Nothing says LOVE like poking fun at someone your sweetie dosn't like.

I've spoofed that moron for years. Get over it.

Axe,
Why did you disappear after I used a post of yours from 2 or 3 days ago claiming Israel would never go in with ground troops because they were cowards?

As if anyone needed to see that post to know what a retard you are...


Hagbard,
Let me paint a picture for you...
Creepy canadian adult male, single, dresses up as a clown for kids birthday parties, talks in the 3rd person, uses what he deems to be a cutesy internet persona...

Please, no.

Is that true about him being a professional clown?

Yes. But to be fair, there is another poster here that says he does the clown thing as well, but I can't remember who it is. For some "odd" reason, nobody thinks he's a pedophile. Maybe the fact he doesn't type in the 3rd person, doesn't use "cutesy" words and phrases, and generally creep people out has something to do with it, but I can't be sure.

Now I can't get John Wayne Gacy out of my head...

"Now I can't get John Wayne Gacy out of my head..."

What a clown.

"Scrabble."

One of the funniest documentaries I have ever seen is "Word Wars" and its about 'pro' Scrabble players. Bonus points because my favorite loser wins in the end.


Oh, and these quidditch kids deserve to be slapped around.

101..that was me. I used to make some decent $$ on weekends years ago. Rule #1...no touching the kinderfolk. The guy that showed me the ropes insisted that the hostess of the party chaperon him for the entire session. NEVER find yourself alone with kids without an adult to keep the kids off of you. Some kids lead incredibly lonely lives and the moment you show any of them the attention they don't get from their emotionally unavailable parents, they are prone to physically cling to you like they are drowning. All it takes is one guilty parent seeing all that pent-up love pouring out to get (1) jealous and/or (2) the wrong idea, and then you're in a world of shit with no shovel to dig out with.

Anyone who thinks this is total bullshit should look up what happened to the McMartin family.

OK...enough of this. Back to lurking.

Damn, Dutch. That chaperone requirement... that's just sad.

Although "back to lurking" was pretty funny.

(No wonder clowns freak me out.)

Athletic program for nerds...or another useless college sports program with the potential to sap money away from real education. [dunno if they get any funding from the school, but I certainly hope not.
I'm torn between my love of all things geek & my distaste for college athletics and the works of JKR.
While the HP novels may be a way to get 4th graders into reading real books, this is ridiculous.


While the HP novels may be a way to get 4th graders into reading real books, this is ridiculous.

Look at it as a way to get lard assed geeks off of the couch and outside in the sunlight.

I gained 30 pounds my freshman and sophomore year because I was no longer playing football in the fall and basketball in the winter.

Intramural leagues, no matter what the sport were what got me out of the house.

You are so correct about lonely children clinging to you.

Whenever I take my son to the park I eventually end up with 2-3 kids following along because I pay attention to and play with my kid when we are their.

I always make sure their parents get off their cell phone or what ever they are doing beside watching their kids to ensure I don't get blamed for anything. If they do not pay attention I will tell the kids they need to get a drink of water and send them to their parent and I take my son to the other side of the park.

Quite sad really, I would let them play but their are too many crazy people out their for me to take that chance.

friggin geeks.

whats wrong with sticking with a little beer pong?

for the first time I am speechless.... LOL.... the snitch part made me laugh the hardest.... this is just too funny...

WOuld these people bee GEEKS or DORKS?

Louisiana? I blame Governor Jindal-clearly he's letting the witches run wild.

WOuld these people bee GEEKS or DORKS?

Neither. Nerds is correct.

Which is worse: this or Darkon.

If you don't know what Darkon is, search for it on youtube.
