"Sadness surrounds us, isn't that right, Err?"

"SADNESS IS FOR POOR PEOPLE"

--An exchange between those two fictitious prophets of the modern age, the Mooninites (Ignignokt and Err), on Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Sadness surrounds us and it sucks. We're sad that no matter how this ends, it can't possibly end well. Unless you're one of those people who enjoys bad things happening to PSU. If you are one of those people, I recommend therapy. Or suicide. Whatever will make you stop faster.

There was a time when things weren't so sad. A time when we were visited by another prophet of the modern age. I speak of the one, the only, Skins4ever. Skins4ever touched our lives in a special way. He loved the Redskins. And Tennis. He thought Ed DeChellis should be fired.

But like most truly awesome things, he was gone before we realized just what, exactly, had happened. I don't know if we've recuperated from that moment in time, but I do think we're all better for it. Or crazier. Either way, more awesome for having witnessed Skins.

Revelation left to us by Skins4ever:

dont mean to be ass but i dont need people to know my business

At Skins demand, sarcasm immediately died at BSD, and nothing but football talk ensued.

Check out Philosophical Investigations if you haven't already.

It is one of the 20th Century’s seminal works by anyone on anything.

That was the day after my birthday and I was very hungover.

I didn’t get on BSD and I missed all the fun, but I relived it for many days.

"Every player we have, someone-maybe a parent, a grandparent, someone-poured their soul into that young man. They are handing that young man off to us. They are giving us their treasure, and it's our job to make sure we give them back that young man intact and ready to face the world."

and my life has been all the poorer for it.

Hey - Richard Aceto is

a poor man’s skins4ever. But does anyone have the link to the post-Illinois thread from last year? I think it was the Wednesday after the Illinois game.

No matter what you think about the current situation, support the players, they deserve our respect.
