TP to Post Ratio

[Redz]

Folks, the way this place is about Tommy Points points is enough to make the Devil blush. Sure, we have people who get them because they are truly deserving of community recognition and reward. More often though we have buyers and sellers, brokers and day-traders, internet forums equivalents of male street-walkers who'll do anything for a Tommy Point (don't let the kids read this).

We have little punk gangs who bump each other up with TPs, professional beggars who use TPs to try to position themselves on CB or who in other instances beg because literally their personal self-esteem is inseparable from their Tommy Point counts, and nutjobs who set up multiple member accounts that they use to boost their own Tommy Point standings (among other things). We also have practically any combination one might imagine of the aforementioned realities taking place in some individuals all at the same time.

So, I'm sorry but anyone here trying to glean something meaningful and insightful from the Tommy Point phenomenon here on CB couldn't embrace anything that would hold less frustration and futility or produce less fruit. You would be advised to pursue something less challenging and potentially more rewarding such as determine the potential of NBA candidates by the color of their droppings.

All you need to know is...

• The Bad News: nobody around here has gotten rich of Tommy Points yet.
• The Good News: nobody around here has died from Tommy Points yet as far as we know.

Beyond that, have fun with TPs if you can. If you can't, ignore them. They are just one of those passing, temporary things one encounters on occasion and due to the dilution of the original ideal behind, quite meaningless.

Well, this news is certainly going to make the competition at next years TP Pageant a whole lot less fierce

The TPs are amusing little critters though aren't they?

LOL! Sorry redz.

Seriously, it was a great and very special pageant that brought out the worst in everybody, but in a nice way.

No worries Bob, I think everyone probably "left it all out on the floor" at this year's Pageant so there probably wouldn't be much fresh material next year (plus, I'm guessing that even if the C's win another title in `09, the unabashed blissfulness of this year will be hard to recreate).

LOL! Sorry redz.

Oh, and spare me the apology...JUST GIVE ME A [dang] TP! - I'm having withdrawals - [dang], I should have saved that one for next year.

Wait, I can set up multiple accounts to boost my TP total? Now you tell me.

Bob, you know I was all proud of getting to 100 TPs but now I wondering if I'm a begger, a male street walker, a buyer, a seller or what. I tell you its worse than the day I found out there was no Santa Claus.

Read it and weep Rebus

Oh Rebus, I'm sorry I frightened you with skeery story. I'm sure you are just one of those innocent victims that has been caught up in this corrupt system Redz has been trying to restore with some integrity.

Good luck with that Redz.

I'm going for the high score...

We all have our cross to bear.

My other ones involve the rights of people with their flies open, unnoticed boogers hanging from their nostril, or tags sticking out of the back of their shirts.  They have a right to know these things people!  Let them know.  Help them out.

Yep, this has definitely turned into a "no kids" thread. On the upside, I must say I'm quite impressed by that mean streak you've got going their redz. Your gifts seem endless.

[Bob Day]

OK, redz...I gave you yet another Tommy Point. Will do the same for cdif and Rebus.

Is there any Tommy Point equivalent to Methadone?

What would the Clippers Blog equivalent of a TP obsession be?

Billy Crystal Meth?

Elton Brand Marks?

Man, if there's a darker equivalent to Tommy Points that would be it. To think the inspiration for that franchise was those noble vessels that braved the oceans of this world and yet when one looks into the faces of LAC fans these days one is more reminded of "Clippers" in the sense of the ones animals encounter when led into meat warehouses.

OK, this is officially an adults-only thread now and I take full blame.
