TALK ABOUT YOUR TONGUE-LASHING
We only hope The Blog will not be too embarrassed.
Dave you are so illinformed.
Let me enlighten you and your readers.
The reason we(Denver)can`t have a superbowl here is we don`t have a closed in stadium. You see here in Colorado it snows.
You can`t hold a Super bowl where there could be a chance it would snow or just be cold cause you see, it is all about money and money would be lost if the ganstas i mean players couldn`t show boat around town for a couple weeks before the game.
That is equivlant of me asking you where your ski runs are and why Miami will never host a winter olympic.
Tancredo never said Miami looks like a third world country. He said parts of it resemble a third world country but translated to looney leftys that means the whole state. Nice twist. We have a writer up here that writes the same way,(Mike Littwin,Rocky Mountain News), he never tells the truth .He just twist`s it till it fit`s his smear campaign, just like you. I hope your readers don`t get their info. from you because it is a flat out lie.

Darren, I'm going to have to confiscate your apostrophes, Dear. (Seems someone has already beat me to confiscating your sense of humor.)

This is what happens when there is very little oxygen in the atmosphere. Like in Denver.

Posted by: witchlesa | January 29, 2007 at 12:15 PM
WHOA!!! Dave, I tremble on your behalf at the tremors of indignation comin' from the Rockies.
However, considering that da Bears took the NFC title in a snowstorm, I'm pretty sure that they, at least, wouldn't be unduly upset by Denver weather.

Poor widdle 3rd world Denver can't afford an enclosed stadium? Aaaaaww.
(btw - most people in Denver are not this stupid.)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 29, 2007 at 12:17 PM
We certainly could hold a winter Olympics.
Posted by: Crash | January 29, 2007 at 12:19 PM
"I must have missed the Denver Olympics. When was that again?"
2002, but Denver still had that Tancredo guy, so they moved it to Salt Lake City.

Posted by: crossgirl | January 29, 2007 at 12:20 PM
Somebody wanted to know in an earlier thread who would vote for Tancredo. Here's your answer right here.
Annie, I know, my daughter lives there and I can count the intelligent people I've met there if I take my shoes off.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 29, 2007 at 12:21 PM
At first I thought he was joking, esp when I got the "gansta" part, because seriously could you be serious about bashing Dave?
15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct!
Posted by: morgana | January 29, 2007 at 12:21 PM
Please inform Darren that he will need to register as a 'species of concern.'

*quietly resolves to stop "getting my info." from Dave Barry blog*
Posted by: Gadfly | January 29, 2007 at 12:26 PM
I will take what this guy says seriously when he learns to spell, type, punctuate and capitalize properly.
Which Winter Olympic should be held? Was there one in particular?
I think that Miami could easily host the Hockey Winter Olympic. They could even host the Curling Winter Olympic, and all you have to do to get a crowd is to tell the
population of Miamiretirees that it is just shuffleboard or bocce ball on ice.Posted by: Baron vonKlyff | January 29, 2007 at 12:26 PM
witchlesa - thanks for the muse tickle
Superbowl is coming, the fans are getting fat
Care to put a penny in old Darren's hat?
If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do,

Kevin - you have to twist the facts just right to turn Miami into a state. Not that Darren would ever do that. tsk, tsk....
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 29, 2007 at 12:29 PM
" I hope your readers don`t get weitheir info. from you because it is a flat out lie."
Damm, this blog is bogus. I resolve to quit right now, just as soon as I loose 200 lbs and stop chain smoking.
And Miami has it's own oosik. Where's Denver's? Huh?
Posted by: qsman | January 29, 2007 at 12:29 PM
Oh no, I see another waste disposal dedication in the future after Dave and Denver make up.

you mean twists's's Annie, right?
Posted by: Siouxie | January 29, 2007 at 12:31 PM
Kaffy - Denver is snowed in. They can't get Dave until the spring thaw. That's why we can make fun of them. Dave would never be stupid enough to taunt someone who could kick his butt. That's why he's still alive today. Neener!

Posted by: Darren | January 29, 2007 at 12:35 PM
Tancredo is a first class moron. Anyone notice how his voice sounds a little Foley-esque? NTTQWRT unless you're into young boys,
Oh, and Tancredo hates Mexicans. Real nice political platform. Dork.
Posted by: Brad | January 29, 2007 at 12:35 PM
Hi, Kaffy - would you mind letting WriterDude use your disguise for a while? He'll probably need it.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 29, 2007 at 12:35 PM
You can`t hold a Super bowl where there could be a chance it would snow or just be cold...
Detroit has hosted the Superbowl twice.
I'm so conflicted...I live 65 miles across the lake from Chicago, and a few miles north of Indiana, where our 'local' news comes from. Kinda right between them. I've been cheering both teams along all year since the Lions are a decade or two away from being competitive. Maybe I'll root for the guitarist formerly known as a glyph.

Close enough!

Whoa, whoa... Dave's not being completely truthful in his evaluations about the world??
I'm shocked, shocked, I say!
Posted by: jon | January 29, 2007 at 12:41 PM
I love the correction - only PARTS of the state are like a third world country. That's so much better.
Posted by: deblemint | January 29, 2007 at 12:41 PM
jon - give Darren a break. After all, he's a product of the Denver educational system. He's only as good as his environment.

now why couldn't Tancredo be euthanized???? life is so unfair.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 29, 2007 at 12:43 PM
And 'righties" are smear-campaign free?
I'll take my info from Dave over this guy any day -- and I won't take grammar, spelling or stylistic lessons from Darren, either.
I wonder how he'd feel if someone comma referred to parts of Denver comma as a 3rd world country.
Or is that "coma"??? ;-)
Posted by: AmerInParis | January 29, 2007 at 12:43 PM
This Tancredo guy is actually running for President (http://www.teamtancredo.com). I would like to suggest a debate between our canidate, Dave, and Mr. Tancredo. I think the result would be a pummeling of Team Tancredo (how lame).
Posted by: ken in jax | January 29, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Why can't Miami have a winter Olympics? There's plenty of snow. Just of a different kind IYKWIM.
Posted by: fivver | January 29, 2007 at 12:44 PM
A Miami Olympic.
Posted by: Olo Baggins of Bywater | January 29, 2007 at 12:44 PM
Oh man, Denver can't host a Super Bowl because of snow? This is a clear indication of what a Wuss Bowl it really is. Every stadium should have a crack at a Super Bowl, not just the warm states or enclosed arenas. The players and corporate sponsors are just plain soft and need a kick in the butt like a Super Bowl game in Green Bay would provide.
Plus, more normal people (ie: not wealthy thugs) would have a chance to actually see one in person.

Cookie, I thought Darren was close enough to Daryl to get the point across as well.

Not all righties are humorless, ignorant dweebs. I enjoy reading this blog all the time. I just usually lurk in the background because by the time I see what's been posted, everyone else has already said anything I would've thought to say. I guess that's what I get for living on the west coast and working graveyard shifts.

Dang it.

RIP Barbaros. IMO his suffering was prolonged, but, I would assume he had the very best medical attentions, so hopefully, his last months were not miserable. What a waste.
You may now resume your Darren bashing. I wonder if Darren is reading this blog?
Posted by: casey | January 29, 2007 at 01:00 PM
Darren,
I'm sorry, but I'm unclear about something. Call me whacky, but since when did snow or rain or mud stop a football game from occurring? I mean, other than something like Katrina...I'm unclear as to why an open-roof stadium in the north automatically means that a Super Bowl can't be held. I'm waiting for the day that Green Bay can host a Super Bowl...there would be a game that would be discussed for years!
Andy, the tropichunt.com™ guy living in the Third World "State" of Miami!
P.S. Get a life. Really. Oh, and get all your important "24" updates from Dave. He's the real source of information on the show!

Beth, of course not all right-of-center folks are humorless! (Just as not all lefties are evil ;-))))) My sister is ultra-conservative and has a fantastic sense of hulor and is brilliantly funny -- as long as we don't talk politics! Then we both lose our sense of humor.
Alas. Such is the way of the world.
Posted by: AmerInParis | January 29, 2007 at 01:03 PM
I are sure that Denvers' teacher's are so proud that they learned Darren to smartly grammerify his riting's.

If Dave is CNN/FoxNews, does that make them humorists in disguise?

Posted by: WriterDude | January 29, 2007 at 01:11 PM
Hmmm. Methinks Darren has issues. (and coming from me, that says something)
That having been said, I have other points to bring up:
1. Mot, you promiscous person, you! How many blogchicks have you proposed to besides me? Oh well, at least I was one of the first.
2. Dave rules. End of story.
3. There is no three.
4. Would somebody please text me a flexeril or something? I'd even consider a massage from a snake if it meant getting a massage.
5. Getting the patient detoxing from everything is NOT something I ever want to do again. No ifs, ands, or buts.

WriterDude,
I am apoplectic after reading the content of your link! Honestly, I cringe at the lack of English skills manifest on a daily basis because I do love the language. It is not that I would hold myself up as an authority but I think anyone who does not use an adverb occassionaly should be flogged.
Is that extreme?
OK, I do walk around work/home adding the -ly as needed.
