Royals Review TV: Episode 1 (Just Like Greinke, I Quit on the Royals Too)

PrintThis episode is brought to you by the Boulevard Smokestack Series (Harvest Dance, in particular). This project has tested my patience, sobriety, and 6-year old Compaq desktop severely. I also had a Ray Peterson moment where I realized lounging around in PJs during my holiday vacation time working on this was much more pleasant than "going up to the lake" or out to holiday parties, etc.
I did not intend to single out fishbowl72 and NYRoyal, but the "Just Like Greinke, I Quit on the Royals" thread struck a chord with me. This is merely a dramatization of that thread, and is not intended to represent any actual event, person, place or entity. I disclaim any likeness or similarities to actual events, people, places, or entities, and any such likeness or similarities are unintentional and purely coincidental. I bet NYRoyal really does wear smiley-face boxers, though.

Why isn't the RR collective wearing any clothes?
This is cool, do more but put clothes on all the dudes.
I'm new at this program
I had to pay 99 cents for the characters and office setting. I was looking at head shots when I was picking out the characters, I had no idea he was only wearing boxers!
Wait, are the rest of you wearing clothes?
That completely changes my attitude toward this site.

Boxers only
I assumed that was a tacit agreement we made before setting (cyber)foot on this site.

This is hilarious
Putting voices to it really shows how ridiculous that was.
Holy shit, that just happened
Your likenesses were probably close, except that I actually wear a goattee.

He starts out sounding more like
Robot James Mason to me. But it doesn’t last. He lapses into something more generic.
I had initially inserted a parenthetical “straight” with a question mark before robot but opted against it.

Wow! That was hilarious.
Also awesome, bizarre and kind of sad. I think “zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero…” was my favorite part. Thanks Tito42!
And no offense, NY, but you kind of come across as a tool there – but maybe it’s because while you don’t bother to put on any pants, you felt it important enough to put on sunglasses. Well, “cool before school” I guess? I do think we as a collective came down on him kind of hard, but also I’m annoyed when people put up those kind of posts without ever having participated in anything here before. Why do you think we care? We don’t know you and that kind of bitchfest whine isn’t really putting your best foot forward as far as introductions go.

That’s how we roll in New York. Skin tight short shorts and designer sunglasses. That’s how a MAN dresses!

Well, it kind of makes sense. Now you don’t have to worry about spilling Brie on your pants or getting a wine stain on your shirt while at your monkey-feces art openings.

...well if it was a white wine, perhaps a Viogner or a Muscat there wouldn't be any stain to...

I read a lot of the posts
I just don’t prefer to butt heads with the stat guys. Besides people here don’t exactly come off as cordial. I rephrased my thoughts into another post. One with a little less anger. People jumped at the chance to shred me and my opinions so I retaliated. I will continue to defend myself against those who try to make it personal.
To be fair
I was the tool that had the “zero-zero-zero-zero” comment in the original thread
"So you're saying there's a chance!"
Would have been a good follow up for someone.
Seriously, it’s almost impossible that you can watch 68 games and the Royals lose every one.
Yes, I didn't have all of the good lines
Some of fishbowl’s dialog also wasn’t his. But there good composites of the two sides. Well presented too.

This is the greatest thing I have EVER seen
We need to do this with every time something big happens on this site.
Also that is exactly how I pictured NYRoyal.
yup

If you use this, I would suggest that you clean up some typos and odd word usages to make some of the banter comprehensible.

So, I've always been curious
but is GobbleforCyoung wishing Gobble to be Korean? What is going on with that username? Perhaps it is Shin Jin-ho gracing us with his presence? Did Jin-ho sign with the Royals solely because he always hoped that Jimmy Gobble would somehow become Korean and change his surname to Cyoung?

maybe he wanted a trade of Jimmy Gobble for Chris Young?

I would pay to watch a show of Royals Review comment threads
presented in this style….but then again, I’m a little loose with my money

Good....I look forward to more episodes!
However, I hope it does not involve a descent into alcoholism, or staggering debt to Boulevard Brewing Co…..
by Nighthawk at the Diner on Jan 3, 2011 2:24 PM EST up reply actions
It would help
If I weren’t three generations of technology behind the power curve with my PC. But Boulevard and Sam Adams get their fair share of my income regardless.
if you don't mind giving up your sources....
what program can take such awesome dialogue and produce such fascinating action? It reminds me of something I saw on YES MEN

The NYRoyal character
including the boxers, sunglasses, and vaguely British, almost New Zealander accent, needs to be added as the wacky neighbor to the Ducky sitcom.
which also needs an episode

you need to get insanity wolf into the next one

This is outstanding
I’m assuming NYRoyal (who clearly will be involved in at least 50% of these) will always be donning just boxers and shades?

This is brilliant
I recognized other people’s comments, but NYRoyal is the vessel that we chose to use.
maybe if you were engaged in a combative debate with him
you’d lean toward Somerset, who interestingly enough suffers a separate defeat for each historical original of which he is a composite:
KING EDWARD IV
Once more we sit in England’s royal throne,
Re-purchased with the blood of enemies.
What valiant foemen, like to autumn’s corn,
Have we mow’d down, in tops of all their pride!
Three Dukes of Somerset, threefold renown’d
For hardy and undoubted champions;
Two Cliffords, as the father and the son,
And two Northumberlands; two braver men
Ne’er spurr’d their coursers at the trumpet’s sound;
With them, the two brave bears, Warwick and Montague,
That in their chains fetter’d the kingly lion
And made the forest tremble when they roar’d.
Thus have we swept suspicion from our seat
And made our footstool of security.
I can think of a few posters here who might enjoy a little mowing down and kingly gloating of this particular stripe.
Meanwhile the Queen in Richard II
is merely sent back to France, after moping around for most of Acts II-IV.
She has a bit of business in Act III Scene IV in which she and some ladies, having retired from court, conceal themselves in a garden in order to overhear “talk of state” between a gardener and a servant. When she can’t stand to wait any longer for further tidings of Richard, she comes forward with the line:
QUEEN
O, I am press’d to death through want of speaking!
And I just can’t imagine anyone here feeling pressed to death for want of speaking. Or posting. Not a hint of similarity there.
That's fair
I picture NYRoyal as a queen myself
I do live in NYC after all. So in addition to going to the ballet every weekend and eating caviar for breakfast, I am also at least half gay.

Hey, we're we don't discriminate here at Royals Review
Unless you previously played for the Braves or Mariners
I'll refer you to this admission
from earlier in the thread in regards to calling you Robot John Hurt:
I had initially inserted a parenthetical "straight" with a question mark before robot but opted against it.

British people are also at least half gay, so I can understand why that question would arise

How about a link to the original thread?
For those who missed it?
I had to spend a good bit just trying to find it — it is here.
Best Fanpost ever.
