The Amazing World of Tyler Thigpen
From Arrowhead Stadium
Just two weeks ago, Tyler Thigpen was considered a joke. Media pundits made fun of him. One sports radio yokel said that quarterbacks at KU, K-State and Missouri were better quarterbacks and would get more done than Thigpen could in the Chiefs offense.
Nobody’s laughing now. In the last two weeks Thigpen has established several things. One, the Minnesota Vikings were correct when they drafted him in 2007 out of Coastal Carolina. Second, the Vikings were right to be upset when the Chiefs claimed him on waivers at the end of the ‘07 pre-season. Third, the Chiefs were smart to grab him and add him to their roster last year.
And the biggest is four: Thigpen is no joke. He’s not yet ready for a bust in Canton, but the young man from South Carolina has now strung together the two best starts the Chiefs have had at quarterback in some time.
Oh, and five: he can catch the ball too!
Last week he outplayed NFL legend Brett Favre; when Favre played his first NFL game, Thigpen was seven years old. This Sunday, he was going against Tampa Bay’s Jeff Garcia, whose first season of professional football was in 1994 in the Canadian Football League. Thigpen was 10 years old at the time.
Here are his numbers for the last two weeks:
- Passing: 39 of 61 (64%) for 444 yards, 7.3 yards per attempt, three TD passes and 0 INTs. That’s a passer rating of 102.
- Rushing: 10 rushes for 42 yards.
- Receiving: one catch for 37 yards and a touchdown.
Here are the combined numbers for Favre and Garcia for their two starts against Thigpen and the Chiefs:
- Passing: 59 of 83 (71%) for 629 yards, 7.6 yards per attempt, three TD passes and four INTs. That’s a passer rating of 84.9.
- Rushing: one carry for minus-one yards.
- Receiving: are you kidding?
None of this makes much of a dent with Thigpen because of another set of numbers: 0-2. That’s what the Chiefs are in these two games. They are 0-3 in his NFL starts.
“We didn’t win so it didn’t matter if I threw three picks,” said Thigpen. “We just want to win around here. We had a chance to win and we weren’t able to capitalize.”
But there is no doubt he’s more comfortable and gaining confidence.
“The more you play, the more you’re going to feel comfortable,” said Thigpen. “I felt like we had a good game plan this week for me to feel comfortable in and we went out and executed.”
The last time the Chiefs had a starting quarterback go two consecutive games without an interception was almost exactly two years ago. Damon Huard did not throw the other team the ball against St. Louis or Miami in early November of 2006.
And when was the last time a Chiefs quarterback caught a pass? Huard actually caught two in 2006. But when you go back through franchise history, there were five quarterbacks who had receptions, all of them off deflections of their own passes.
Thigpen is the first Chiefs QB to catch a pass thrown by somebody else and he’s the first Chiefs QB to catch a touchdown pass.
He becomes only the fifth player in Chiefs history with a running TD, receiving touchdown and thrown TD pass. The others are all running backs: Marcus Allen, Bert Coan, Mike Garrett and Curtis McClinton.
The play was put in this week along with the direct snap package that Chan Gailey has worked on since the off-season program. The first time Jamaal Charles took the direct snap, Thigpen lined up wide left as a wide receiver. Two plays later, Gailey called for the direct snap again, this time sending Thigpen wide right.
Charles took the snap, took a step to his left as if to run and then he pitched the ball to WR Mark Bradley, who was coming around on what looked like an end-around. It was not the cleanest exchange, but Bradley got the ball and threw the ball on the run into the end zone. Thigpen had jogged of the line at the snap like he wasn’t a factor on the play and veteran Tampa Bay CB Ronde Barber took the bait. He looked inside and that’s when Thigpen ran past him.
“Oh, he figured I was some white guy and I wasn’t a factor,” said Thigen. “I talked to him (Barber) after the game and he took some grief from his teammates over that one.”
Bradley has done this before. He threw two passes while he was at the University of Oklahoma, both to Mark Clayton. It was a 30-yard throw in 2005 against Nebraska and a 17-yard TD pass against Oklahoma State in 2004. Remember his father was Danny Bradley, who played quarterback at OU (1981-84). Bradley also played plenty of quarterback in high school.
“That was my Dad coming out,” Bradley said. “Once I got the ball, I just wanted to make sure I threw it far enough that he had the chance to catch it; turned out just right.”
Yes, it certainly did. In practice on Wednesday, Thigpen had dropped the pass. He said the sun was in his eyes and he lost the ball. On Thursday and Friday, he caught the pass both times.
“It wasn’t going to happen,” Thigpen said of a drop. “The coach has seen me catch the ball. I don’t drop that.”
Now, everyone has seen him throw, run and catch. He’s making an impression, even gaining the increased confidence of grizzled teammates like TE Tony Gonzalez.
“He has certainly proven that he can play quarterback effectively at this level,” said Gonzalez. “He’s surprising everybody. If he keeps playing like that, who knows? Let’s just take it one game at a time and see how good he can get. We’ll see how far he can take it.”
How about some kudos to Chan Gailey? He has done a great job with adjusting the offense to take advantage of Tyler’s skills instead of trying to force a square peg in a round hole. Not many coordinators could/would do what he is doing. He deserves as much of the credit as Thigpen for the offensive turnaround.
And Herman Edwards for not ‘throwing’ a tantrum (he’ll work that into the trick package offense next week) with all that Arena Ball, nee old AFL 1960s style offense goin’ on!
Tyler Thigpen’s new nickname: ‘The Little Big Man from Coastal Carolina’! Or just ‘Little Big Man’.
TO Rin Tin I like the title maybe it well stick
[...] More good stuff about Thigpen from Bob Gretz, too. [...]
The sudden emergence of Thigpen as ‘the guy’ at QB is the story of the season in my view. He reminds me of a young Rich Gannon in many respects.
How incredible is this story being spun? As (no longer ‘if’) Thigpen continues his growth as a viable and dangerous NFL QB, think of the ramifications:
1) Stability rendering a growing confidence among the other members of the team.
2) Not having to dip into the uncertain draft waters to pick a QB who would require another couple of years to develop or one who might as easily bust.
I’ve got to give credit to the talent evaluators on the Chiefs that saw the potential in Thigpen. He’s an amazing story already.
I am increasingly impressed with Mr. Thigpen and growing more encouraged for the future. Even now we have a chance in this division. 1 & 7 yet only 3 games out? Weird. The Chiefs are defiantly improving. We could start winning some games and find ourselves winning the division with a losing record if the rest of the west keeps on the course they are on. I know….that’s far fetched…but it’s fun to think about.
I agree Harold C. Denver and Oakland lost yesterday as well. Winning the remaining four division games could put us in a very favorable position and our last two games are against Miami and at Cincinnati. This season is far from being a washout.
This season does not matter. You can build around a young QB and hopefully Thigpen fills that need. Next year add to the right side of the line, another WR, another young QB to back him up and then concentrate on Defense. Rush end and 2 LB who can start then Look Out. 2009 could be magic in the AFC West, if a few things come together.
I agree with Rich. Tyler reminds me of a young Rich Gannon. We fans knew that had we kept Rich Gannon instead of Elvis Grbac who knows how the Chiefs would have faired. The one thing for sure was that Rich outperformed Elvis in all aspects. Hopefully Tyler is our second chance and as a whole; the Chiefs offense is starting to grow together.
I have to admit, I was one of the people saying “Oh great now we have to start Thigpen…how far are we going to fall now?” But after giving him a couple of weeks to muddy his feet a little, I like what he is doing with his chances. I mean at the start of the season what were the chances he would even play at all? (Unless you throw in the Curse of Herman Edwards and his inability to keep his players healthy). I have to agree that at 1 and 7 we are pretty much out of it, but if a few things fall our way and we could somehow come away with a sweep of the remaining division games, how much fun would the end of this season be?
I have been on board all year to give this guy a chance every since the Atlanta game. I was saying to myself after that when Culpepper name was coming up don’t sign Culpepper let him (Thigpen) play. Looks like to me we’ve found our QB. Now if we can provide him some help on that right side of the line and give him a defense that doesn’t allow teams to comeback but buries them once he creates a lead with the offense. The team should do very well next year.
IN the draft I think the focus now needs to go to the right side of the offensive line and get a pass rusher on defense (defensive end) and need a hard hitting, smart, good pass coverage middle linebacker. And look out AFC west next year the Chiefs will be back in business.
Can’t wait to see what the offense looks like once Larry comes back. If he can return the Larry he was early this season then man we should go on a little winnning streak towards the end of the season.
Thigpen is playing great, but when the chiefs draft and they are in position to get a QB that is worthy of the spot, than the chiefs should draft one.
With the first pick the KC chiefs pick ______ the best athlete available just about any position will do as long as the guy is a real stud (in the football sense).
Bob like your column on NFL.com. The Chiefs will receive some payoff for their hard work sooner than most people think. I definately can see this team winning about 4 or 5 out of its next 8 games. If not a couple of more. They are getting better. We finally has some stability at quarterback and after this upcoming game against SD we get Larry back. So definately look for us to finish strong toward the end of this season.
Don’t be surprise if we don’t lay it down to the Chargers next week. The Bucs defense is far better than San Diego. IF we can contain LT and Sproles in the running game we should have a great chance to win. Put the heat on Rivers in the passing game by forcing them to be one dimentional we should do fine.
I was at the game what a GAME
this team is now coming together WOW
how exciting it was.
You do not know this but I was born in
TAMPA BAY I mean in it on davis island
July 25th 1940
But a CHIEFS fan since 1960
GO CHIEFS
Only- psst!- Tyler…Tyler Thigpen! Stop running around so recklessly. Mobility is fine- but alas, stupidity is not.
TT, you took some big shots (for a little guy) in yesterday’s game…if you don’t CUT, IT, OUT, you will soon join the likes of the large (Culpepper) and the small (Croyle), the fast aka one ‘One Is Never Enough’ Steve ‘Concussion’ Young), and the slow (Trent Green)…but hopefully not the dead.
No one is immune, so don’t take those unecessary chances because…well, here in KC we would like to see a QB remain healthy enough to start ‘more’ than two games in a row.
Careful “Little Big Man”…
Findthdr Tyler Thigpen is hands down the bomb. From a small D2 school he came and played good football in the worst of conditioms with no experience. That in itself is amazing. I think it would be downright stupid to waste a draft pick on a big name “chance” when our underdog rookie is showing up and showing out. How about let’s get a line to protect him . I have noticed this about Thigpen, the guy is playing to win and thinks well on his feet. His problem is he has a hard time relaxing, and getting in a relaxed synch. It is kinf of hard to plant your feet and make the relaxed throw when you are running for your life. Thigpen is 70 percent of what makes me want to turn the game on. If I were Herm I would do this guy solid and make him a franchise qb. With a long contract. With what he has shown I think he deserves at least the shot Brodie got
good game from Tyler need to bring brody back as a backup i think he could be healthy enough for clipboard duty an he is pretty good we need to solidify the right side and where is dorsey we need some sacks if we took alot of injuries this week how well will we play D in san diego what a great game though we will win some games and when they realy get a taste of winning they will win alot
Thigpen has always reminded my of Drew Brees, and I’m ok with him running around. A couple of the hardest shots he took yesterday came when he was still in the pocket. The guy plays with gusto, which makes him fun to watch. He needs to do a better job of stepping up when they have him drop back from center, but that’s not sup rising since that’s not the kind of quarterback he’s used to playing. But, he will have to be in the pocket from time to time so that’ll have to improve. He lost his concentration a couple of times and almost got picked yesterday, and his passes weren’t quite as crisp in the later part of the game. That should improve with more playing time, though. I think I cheered the loudest when Thigpen simply realized nothing was there, and threw the ball away. That means he’s under control, and that’s huge for a quarterback.
The overall offense seemed to lose some intensity and pacing in the last part of the game. I’m not sure why that was. All in all, though, hats off to Thiggy for his play, and to the Chiefs for continuing to adjust to his style. I look forward to seeing his progression; let’s see where he takes this.
What really irked me yesterday about the offense, besides the call against Gonzalez at the end, was the inability of anyone to get open at times. I mean, when Thigpen is rolling out or just plain running around extending the play, someone has got to get open. He’s buying everyone extra time to break free, and they have to take advantage. Maybe they’re not completely used to that yet.
I think the Chiefs need to be very, very careful how they use LJ when he returns. I don’t want to see them go back to trying the predictable, smashmouth stuff on first and second down, and then expect Thigpen to go shotgun on third and eight. LJ needs to do some blocking and a lot more pass catching, which he can do if he wants to. I just think they need to stay creative.
Rin, some QB’s have made a career of scrambling…the most prominent that come to mind are also some of the greatest and have had minimal injuries over their illustrious careers…ever heard of Brett Favre?
Fran Tarkenton.
And what is that dragging at my feet? Oh, it’s my shadow…aka the 10th letter of the alphabet.
“some QB’s have made a career of scrambling”
- and some more as a result said have been felled as result of injuries as stated before – a parts list to include cranium, collarbone, shoulder(s), leg(s)/knee(s), rib(s) and miscellaneous joint(s) other, etc.
It’s great (right now) to watch #4 run around – long as he survives unscathed. Some of his act is personal style, other out of necessity but a long QB life in today’s NFL will ‘not’ be in the cards for such…don’t take my word for it, just peruse the dossier NFL QB injuries this year/years back to survey the carnage.
It’s a rough game, but more unforgiving when the QB – by most measure the most valuable commodity in the game (don’t we know in KC)- is lost. Run Tyler run, just don’t get caught because at 6′0 (he’s 6′1 my keister) and (probably no more than 215, if that), he’s not indestructible.
Remember when Trent Green started every game for the Chiefs over multiple seasons? No, and neither does he.
Alas, eventually as we Chiefly know, even whence via a player not an all out scrambler per se and with no distinction ‘tween young and old (Green, Huard, Croyle here, other QBs same elsewhere) it catches up with players – most all who live (and die) by that sword football, chances train wreck only exacerbated when fate is tested degree more.
Reiterating, the best recent examples include one Steve Young… Steve “One Concussed Head is NE’ER Enough So Let Me Have Several Please” Young. Ever watched Steve on TV now that his career has been concussed, er concluded? I rest my case (for that matter look at Tony Kornheiser – & he wasn’t even a QB.)
It’s hard enough when a QB is not running around, and I’m talking big guys with some size like Troy Aikman (consussions), Trent Green (concussions), Dante Culpepper (knee/leg), and too Steve McNair (cumulative), as well smaller guys who while not out and out scramablers were at least more mobile than sitting ducks.
This isn’t as simple as saying that football is a rough sport…what happened to Joe Theismann, and Napolean McCallum are examples of that. Too, a QB scrambling isn’t the issue…to different extents all QBs have to scramble. Tyler Thigpen as a host of other like-minded afore him will NOT last long if he isn’t a bit more judicious – spelled SMART & LUCKY. Immaterial too whether in pocket or out, issue be recklessness (Herm Edwards alluded said i.e., Thigpen needs to be aware, which is all he can, no MUST do. And even so, **** happens, but you don’t have to go looking for it, per se. We don’t wanna lose the best story to date Chiefs football 2008 – thus I concur with Herm…don’t say I didn’t tell you so.
Gonna be a lot of long faces if/when he does go down for the count- “The Young and the Reckless” starring “The Little Big Man”, Tyler Thigpen. I hope he stays in one piece. Careful TT, careful, just saying…
Steve Young ran around on the field from 1985 until 1996…the first year that concussions began being an issue for him. The point? Steve Young, as a man of youthful exuberance could take a shot or twenty…Steve Young, the seasoned veteran had no business running around like the man he was ten years prior. The same could be said of Green, or Aikman or any number of concussed QB’s. Again, a poorly constructed arguement by the “legend in his own mind”, Rin. Good try, again you lose.
Herm can’t keep players healthy because he has 70-90 minute practices with zero hitting. We run out of gas in the 2nd half especially the 4th quarter. Marty was right when he moved Herm to the player personnel department.
Let’s move him to Director of Player Personnel and get a Head Coach in here that will work the players instead of cuddling with them.
Oh, and I agree with many of you above. Thiggy looks like he has the tools and toughness to be the QB of now and the future. He reminds me a more talented version of Gannon. Nothing against Gannon.
bad idea craigk HERM IS A GREAT STUDENT OF THE GAME AND IS TAKING ALOT OF YOUNG GUYS TO A WINNING ATTITUDE you need to watch from a distance with all the negatives the herm and carl new plan is coming together wether you like it or not GO CHIEFS
Dave are you crazy or have you just drank the kool-aid? Herm is an atrocious manager of time and Carl hasn’t had a SOLID draft since the ’90’s.
PART 1
“a poorly constructed arguement by the “legend in his own mind”, Rin.”
- well, at least you got the “˜Legend’ part right… as for the rest your errant squat, tis “argument” – superfluous “e” as you.
And now, Rin Tin Tin presents:
“An Ode To A (ChJest) Nut” nee a Christmas song
Green eyes roasting on an open forum
J’s angst nipping at Rin’s toes. . .
Has a woody would use it if but could he
“It’s stuck!” cries he “HELP!” key of C
Cries out unto thee from corner basement mom’s does he
– “what is this ‘glow’ come over me?”
Yellow tint of his skin – jaundiced be
More red cells lost than brain cells he.
J knows more Rin is on the way, with more insightful blogging sure to ruin his day,
when readers this take pause their laughter they will say ‘no better argument euthanatize, than J’
And so we offer cautionJary tale
Observe IQ ‘his’ ninety-two,
Don’t be like he – concentrate – DON’T BE A TOOL!
Play it cool stay, in school…
Rin, is there a reason that when someone proves you wrong, you resort to personal attacks? Insecurity maybe?
You lose!!!
Now then, when/if said e’er might happen Rin will rejoinder…so, appreciate the fact there be/is a Legend the midst – as you affirmed yourself, both by your plea as well your…well, attempt forward pass regards football discourse – alas, said twas batted down at the line of scrimmage.
DIRECT HIT! And J (again) goes down for the . . . count? No, fact be was ne’er even in the game. Do try again, won’t you. Rin knows you shall, and… best of luck.
heh heh heh
…And again, so easy to get off topic. Lest you forget, this IS a football blog, not a “let me try out my best ‘jouster at the Renfest’ speak.” No response to the fact that your arguement doesn’t hold water? You are so pathetic, it’s comical. What’s it like to suck at life, Rin?
He doth protest too much for one so affective, if not effective…whereas I Rin Tin Tin of the know how variety, find myself conjoined at raison with Herm regards Tyler Thigpen’s need to- play with a bit more restraint, via more measured a degree of recklessness for benefit this Chiefs team – great minds think alike.
Looks like you’re done on this side J – time to turn the other cheek that, yours (-translation: he’s a big dumb animal ain’t he folks?)
heh heh heh
heh heh heh
I don’t know that I would be estatic about sharing the same opinion with Herm “I WOULD Play to Win the Game…If I Knew How” Edwards. Looks like what they say about birds of a feather is true…you’re both loons.
‘Taps’ playing in the background as the day like J dies once more; don’t go away mad little buddy, just go away…yall (don’t) come back now – hear?
Thank you for (again) proving my point for me. Thigpen IS a mobile QB, Herm IS a horrid coach and you CAN’T back up any argument you present. Yep, that’s it.
“Thank you for (again) proving my point for me.”
- don’t mention it…aft proving mine ad nauseam and observing how much you struggled to but prove yours, any (personal pate a non-qualifier), Rin’s humanity came to the fore…now salve that cheek.
“Yep, that’s it.”
- promises promises nee ‘Groundhog Day’ starring the unique tap dancing blahs, er blogs of J. . . take 20!
See you soon!
heh heh heh
That’s the best you can do? Keep boosting my ego.
Tyler is mobile. Herm sucks. You’re pathetic.
“Keep boosting my ego.”
- like stealing from a blind man…you are, Stevie
heh heh heh
Out of gas, huh?
Not since you returned to the blog…again
heh heh heh
or did you return to the blog…again? I’m pretty sure you’re checking more often than I.
I leave you to that your area of expertise . . . the ‘definite maybe’
heh heh heh
you lose.
No, I win…you’re still here
heh heh heh
on the contrary. you’re the one who keeps coming back to these posts; the one who responds to my responses…you, my friend, are the addict.
He’s got me, under his skin…
heh heh heh
Yep, keep on coming back. By the way, I think you’ve used the Sinatra “under my skin” reference before. Running out of wit?
“Yep”
- good, we’ve a consenus then…you’ve broken out in copious shades that tell tale sign green pale, jealousy, and a pall is now o’er you…his name – Rin Tin Tin
“I think”
- oh stop exaggerating – Rin Tin Tin has merely given you another headache…and further grief, because…he can
heh heh heh
Good to see you back. Need your daily affirmation?
My foot, your neck nee throat…and it looks as if you’re ‘really’ enjoying it!
heh heh heh
Not answering questions? Now that’s out of character for you!
Somebody there? No, didn’t think so…
heh heh heh
Wow. Poor retort.
Nope, still no sign of intelligent life…just a puddle
heh heh heh
That’s it? I expected better. Sad.
The puddle’s getting bigger…
heh heh heh
Tsk tsk tsk. Poor guy.
Someone call out the water department and notify flood control – STAT!
heh heh heh
Yeah, I take it back…THIS was your worst comment ever.
“Yeah, I take it back”
- and in front, and via several, and willingly, and . . .
heh heh heh
Keep ‘em coming. Your collapse is comical.
J mistakes an exhalation mine for an expression concern he…more so Rin’s expiration air be/is J’s prolapse – now complete…

Encore! Encore!

Heh heh, you’ve never even been in the game…
Snappy. That the best you can do; stooping down to “my level”?
“stooping down to “my level”

Rin, your responses are getting more laughable by the day. Think it might be time for you to hang up the old keyboard?

“Think it might be time for you to hang up the old keyboard?”

I’m the inspiration, huh? Don’t tell your buddies down at the Liberty Memorial tonite…they may not invite you to Sidekicks for the after party…
“I’m the inspiration, huh?”

I’ve let this go for a couple of days, but if you’re going to keep using it, I have to say something. If you are going to continue to reference Rin and Stimpy, please note that the correct spelling of “idiot”, in the context of Rin the chihuahua is “EEEDIIOT”. “Idjiot” doesn’t even come close to sounding correct. I just thought you might want to know that, even though I’m sure “poetic license tis mine” or some retard-speak for “My name is Rin, and I’m too proud to admit I don’t have a clue” will probably be your response.
You really are a stupid man, aren’t you, Rin?
“I’ve let this go for a couple of days”
- alas, for folk like you J, walking ’round with toilet paper attached to sole of shoe & sporting a neon “kick me” sign astern feels like home…
“but”
- yes?
“if”
- if what?
“you’re going to keep using it”
- well, if it wasn’t such a handy footstool your neck, wouldst I not? Wouldst not.
“I have to say something.”
- Rin’s been waiting for that – He’s certainly given you ample time…
“If you are going to continue to reference Rin and Stimpy, please note that the correct spelling of “idiot”, in the context of Rin the chihuahua is “EEEDIIOT”. “Idjiot” doesn’t even come close to sounding correct.”
- Rin leaves to that not unique much as ‘eunuch’ area yours of ‘asspertise’, you . . . ‘IDJIOT’
“I just thought you might want to know that”
- no, has been evident since you first put stroke to your keyboard- & aft when you typed your first missive this blog – which Rin quickly dismissed – that you were nee are, an . . . IDJIOT
“even though”
- yes, even though you are a Chiefs fan (must be one of those who wants Herm Edward’s gone . . . you know, IDJIOTS.
“I’m sure”
- it’s settled then, you’re an . . .IDJIOT
“poetic license tis mine”
- IDJIOT savant? No, just an . . .IDJIOT
“or some retard-speak for “My name”
- exactly, like ‘Mormon’ minus the second m . . . or ‘halfwit’ (in your case, but quarter pounder); many more apply as well…
“is”
- true; good, we’ve consesnus once again
“Rin”
- yes, what is it now you IDJIOT?
“and”
- yes? Spit it out (the bit your mouth) you IDJIOT!
“I’m too proud to admit I don’t have a clue”
- fortunately, Rin is not too proud to help you, you . . . IDJIOT
“will probably”
- just did…you IDJIOT
“be your response”
- am – ‘Zen Master’ Rin to your now torn asunder from genuflection knee . . . you (drum roll, rim shot, cymbal crash!) IDJIOT!
“You really are a”
- ‘Task Master’ as it were, yes…you IDJIOT. And you J, again…what are you?
“stupid man”
- well that too yes, but more so an IDJIOT! You’re an IDJIOT – you IDJIOT!
“aren’t you Rin?”
- yes, and I’ll be Rin till I’m done resting knee mine ‘pon your throat…you IDJIOT
heh heh heh
I’m really disappointed, Rin. Your posts are becoming more and more unsound. When are you just going to admit that I am above you and beyond you in every way, shape and form?
“I’m really disappointed”
- so were/are mom & dad, yours…
“Rin”
- yes, you IDJIOT?
“Your posts are becoming more and more unsound.”
- so, now your hearing’s on the fritz too? Have you considered a ‘Q-tip’ in ways other than your present perverse use of said?
“When are you just going to admit that I am”
- an IDJIOT? Consider it done – you are!
“above you and beyond you”
- is nothing, there is only Rin in this life
“in every way, shape and form?”
- in every…way…shape…and form
heh heh heh
- when
Poor, Rin. Your posts are absolutely poor.
Know when to say when…J now looks more like an elbow drain – his top having been shaved off by Rin…
heh heh heh
That’s it? Surely you can do better, Rin!
“That’s it?”
- what the hooker said to J aft he ‘presented himself’, nee ‘it’…
heh heh heh
So you’re admitting by your continual dodging of the issue that you cannot, in fact, do better. I win.
“So”
- well if you’re not ashamed, then- HEY! You keep your hands off ol’ Shep…heart mine and the rest belongs to Lassie
“you’re admitting by your continual dodging”
- that’s ‘dogging’, because Rin is one…a big, black one!
“of the issue that you cannot”
- uh oh, a dangling participle…don’t be jealous
“in fact, do”
- well, you are an IDJIOT
“better”
- my pleasure
“I”
- no no, no need to thank me again…
“win”
- that’s Rin, R-i-n…you IDJIOT
heh heh heh
Really, Rin? Pathetic.
“Really, Rin?”
- really, I’m Rin Tin Tin…and you are?
“Pathetic”
- yes, and an IDJIOT
heh heh heh
I used to expect better from you. I realize now this is par for the course. You suck.
“I
- am an IDJIOT”…more self-help nee pep talk J afore his mirror
“used to expect better from you.”
- as he continues, a grim realization becomes his – a resignation too – J reaches for Derek Humphry’s ‘Final Exit’…
“I realize now this is par for the course.”
- girding himself for the task at hand, J swallows, hard- like he has so many times afore…
“You suck.”
- and with that his epitaph, he plunges the knife into his neck…
YAY!
heh heh heh
Wow. Resorting to wishes of suicide? Have I managed to get your goat that severely? Proof, once again that I am the better man.
You suck at life.
“Wow”
- speechless is J (not uncommon for a dead man no longer waking- er, walking)
“Resorting to wishes of suicide?”
- wishes? Whate’er gave you that idea drama queen?
“Have I managed to get your goat that severely?”
- as you suggest the perverse shall have to start bringing in ‘Butch’ at nights now, appears…
“Proof, once again”
- lay off the Mad Dog 20/20
“that I am”
- and leave ‘Butch’ alone…
“the better man.”
- no, he’s a goat…now again, what is it you do that brings meaning to your life?
“You”
- no, beside tasting boot Rin’s…’what’ is it you do best?
“suck at life”
- yes! Correct, you IDJIOT!
heh heh heh
Oh man, are you ever reeling! I win yet again, Rin. No amount of out-of-context crap you post or child-like wishes of self-harm can change that fact. I own you, and like your mother, you are mine to do with as I please.
Sucks to be Rin, loves being Josh.
The hyperkinetic J, back again to but perish once more ‘neath the posion pen Rin Tin Tin.
Delusions of grandeur be his, e’en “grander” be that which is mine satisfaction!
heh heh heh
Is it Rin Rin Tin, Rin Tin Tin or Memorex? Only J’s hairdresser knows for sure…
heh heh heh
Long weekend, huh? Yeah, I’m sure life must be hard when your only friend is your mother and she’s out making money all weekend. Poor Rin.
“huh?”
- Sybil J responding to one of those ‘other’ 17 voices in his head…
heh heh heh
