Laughing my ass off!

Congrats Max!

Oh wait… Marsh?! I’m so confused. And pleased.

You have to be shitting me.

If this is not an April Fools joke… ROFLAWESOME.

OMG i always loved smashmouth

Here’s hoping your next links posts aren’t trying so hard. ;-)

Who the hell is steve marsh?

This is madness. MADNESS!

Steve’s an editor at MSP isn’t he?

No fucking way.

While the thought is entertaining, Steve gets this job over Tom’s dead body…wasn’t there a post on MNSpeak about a piece Marsh submitted to the rake a ways back that was edited to his dislike and caused him to call Tom an Asshole? Just suspend disbelief & revel in the moment, if you would.

Steve is a writer at MSP. You still are, right Steve? I guess this doesn’t exactly compete with the Daily Scroll.

Steve Marsh…He’s not only the President he’s a member.

I’m not sure if this pertains to the Hair Club for Men or Mnspeak.

Sweet.

But does anyone else think Jesse sounds like a crazy conspiracy theorist in that InfoWars clip?

As the saying goes… “Keep your friends close…”

Man. This should be good if it’s real.

Cristina Cordova and Steve Marsh both part of the Bartel Cartel? I LOVE IT!!!!!1111

not really guys

In looking at the links I believe that you will be required to be wearing Zubaz when you comment in the future.

Maybe this is Matt’s attempt to go all Ridder on Tom’s ass.

In the meanwhile, I don’t think it’s too early to announce that Tom has made an offer for my bodyguard services.

I hope you all realize that my work on a media doomsday device is nearly complete.

Just thought I’d toss that one out there to stew upon.

Good stuff. But seriously, what are the odds that Marsh is up at this time of the morning?

Are you kidding? Of course I’m up on my first day. Nothing comes between me and my Zubaz.

Why is “stevemarsh” posting anonymously?

Mpls Simpleton Apr 2 2007

Because the real Steve Marsh’s handle is smarsh.

Steve posts anonymously, because his name has too many letters in it, and he wants us to know who he is.

It won’t let me register my full name. And I can’t get ahold of Matt to fix this important technical problem. Rex?

Goddamnit. Will one of you nerds fix this?

Hey guys, completely off-topic, but does anyone know if the wii shortage is over yet? I want to buy a wii somewhere in town, but last time I checked they’re still out of stock everywhere.

MMM, DELICIOUS!

Rumor has it that the Wii will likely be available for sale tomorrow, but may again go fast.

Fine. I’ll use this Nazi 8-letter registration until one of the technies customizes my shit. Feel better, everyone?

I think I saw some Wii at the Game Shop in E Block.

I am holding out until my full moniker is allowable!

I have a rather long name in real life, 26 letter if you include the first middle and last and I will not compromise!

Usually stores hold them for sale on Sunday when their circular comes out. I think it was Circuit City that had 7 per location this week. Your best bet would be to get the Saturday Strib and check out the adds to see who has them.

“Dogs and cats, living together.”

Yup, we’ve officially crossed the beams at The Speak. Long as I’m here, what kinda stuff do you guys want? What kind of stuff will rip this forum out of the hands of the maza-wayne-bud axis of douchebags?

Although it would be hilarious, this Steve Marsh stuff has got to be BS.

Too many little things that don’t add up. Sucks.

Crap, I just realized I’m broke until my mid-april (birfday!) paycheque.

Oh well, it will make a nice birfday gift to myself if I can find one!

MNspeak was better when Steve Marsh was almost here.

Two fishy things about this: How does Matt not have enough time to do a daily link roundup whereas someone who already has a full time job does have the time? Also note, Marsh seemingly only has the time to update his own blog maybe once a month-and then it’s about fantasy football.

axis of douchebags

Heh.

ALTER TABLE users MODIFY COLUMN username VARCHAR(32);

What’s also kinda funny is that Steve Marsh’s article about Club Jäger can’t decide sometimes between spelling it “Jäger” or spelling it by part of the owner’s last name, the non-umlauted and properly transliterated “Jaeger.”

His business partner, Rick Blanco, had opened and run bars in Boston and Miami before going into the real estate business, and Jaeger De Roma convinced Blanco to help run Jaeger.

Run him, or the club?

I point this out, because in the links above, “smarsh” spells it “Jaagermeister,” which is wrong either way you look at it.

you’re lumping me in with maz and bud?

you’re a fuckwad, marsh.

Matt & Tom have neither confirmed nor denied this post…meaning either they don’t want to give Marsh the satisfaction of a response or that it is true or they have better things to do with their time right now or nothing at all. crap.

If Jews own the media, then why are both the MLB opener and the NCAA championship game on the 1st night of passover???…such bullshit. Is it some sort of perverse test of my faith?

Maz and bud are more interesting, actually.

I’m just glad to be left out of the axis of doucebaggery.

You’re in the allies-of-douchebaggery, maxie.

smarsh should also work at a few 7QQs.

S4xton: you’re hired as my new editor.

There hasn’t been a decent Jewish bball player in either game since Cousy/Greenberg. And no, Shawn Green doesn’t count.

Your forgetting Yotam Halperin.

yeah…that Koufax guy was horrible. and the reason for that is we figured out long ago that there was more $$$ in ownership than playing.

Isn’t he a 34/1 guy at The Masters this weekend?

Halperin I mean. Not Sandy. Sandy couldn’t get on the greens at Augusta. Waspy first name or not.

You jews always have to harp on the Koufax thing. Give it a rest.

Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax…You’re goddamn right I’m living in the fucking past!

Well, Brad Ausmus is an American 3-time Gold Glove Award winning catcher. That’s got to count for something.

Ma nish-ta-na ha-lai-lah ha-zeh mi kol ha-lei-lot, mi kol ha-lei-lot?
on this night, Marsh runs MNSpeak

I like Ausmus. He hasn’t been on a fantasy baseball roster since ‘98 though.

See, Tom. I told you I was big with the tribe.

Speaking of, is Grady Sizemore a jew? That could be very exciting for you folks.

I tell you what I want at MNSpeak: More Jew talk. If there’s one thing this community needs, its a local bulletin board blog focused on Jewcentric cultural events and sporting competition. Also, where can I find a good knish downtown? Who has the best Matzo Ball soup?

I’m with DeRusha on this. Get us a Lox and Bagel thread stat!!!

derusha knows he has to suck up to the jews to get anywhere in media

Jes talk about quite a bit more than that, Jason. We also discuss how to control the economy.

I think if we’ve learned anything around here, it’s that I’ll suck up to anyone to get anywhere.

Oh, first Mnspeak get together will be at the Green Mill Uptown tonight at 6. Don’t bother me when Johan is pitching though.

Max, will do the honors with the Jews-in-the-cities thread?

I went to Cecil’s for lunch Saturday. Never a disappointing meal :)

marsh…pizza & beer don’t make for a jew-friendly get-together on Passover…that’s no way to stay in our good graces.

Hey, in Max’s supermayor thread, I pointed out how Larry Cohen beat out the irish catlick Charlie McCarty for mayor. Not a small feat in the saintly city in the 70s.

my wife’s 1st job was in the kitchen @ cecil’s in 1985. she still makes a mean matzoh ball soup.

Make mine a Shrimp and Pork Sausage with extra cheese! Please smear some lambs blood under the Oyster Bar Neon sign or at least a little red sauce.

I got my Cecils fix two weeks ago — the matzo ball soup (natch!), a kosher dog with celery salt (I call it a O’Hare Dog — because its still miles away from being a real Chicago-style) and an Egg Cream.

Yumm.

….first Mnspeak get together will be at the Green Mill Uptown tonight at 6…

You’d think we’d hit up a hipper place… like William’s or Old Chicago.

Hey, in Max’s supermayor thread, I pointed out how Larry Cohen beat out the irish catlick Charlie McCarty for mayor. Not a small feat in the saintly city in the 70s.

I could have done it. I’d get both the Irish vote and the Jew vote.

Okay, as a relative newbie, I do get the whole “we’re all interrelated and have worked at X and Y together separately along with Q’s dad” flavor, but none of the details. Is it impolite to ask, who are these people?

The Green Mill has good happy hour specials! Not at 6 though.

Smarsh. Is that new slang for “small penis”?

You’d think we’d hit up a hipper place… like William’s or Old Chicago.

God, I hope not. Williams seems to be the gathering place for every person from high school that I never wanted to see again. I second the awesome Green Mill happy hour specials.

Not that it matters since I’m way the hell in MA right now…

Sigh.

Omygod…B-b-b-b-besssssssssst posssssssssst evvvvvvver.

God, I hope not. Williams seems to be the gathering place for every person from high school that I never wanted to see again.

psst… I was being sarcastic.

I know.
I was being disgruntled.

I expect max to run for mayor of st paul soon

My high school class held our 5-year reunion at William’s…. heh… so incredibly sad.

Steve, nice job so far, except I can’t see your fantasy roster. I’m not playing this year, just so I don’t have to read the box scores for the Devil Rays ever again.

Oh yeah, Matt. Hire champs. I want the time stamp thing fixed and I’m going to change my login name to Rufus T. Firefly.

I just cut Pavano. Bastard. The Devil Rays killed him.

Oh, and, erm, thank you for the compliment, Mr. Bartel, sir.

And for the bargain rate of $50/hr. I will also fix the rest of Rex’s defective design choices, like comment timestamping.

Wait! Did you hear that? It sounds like…around four galloping horses…

What happened to the new Sheriff?
