The Unwritten Rules of AA
(This is an unofficial guide to get-to-know AA. I believe one of the aspects to participate in the AA community is to understand the memes, inside jokes, stories and when members making fun of each other, all in good spirit.)
Now for those who recently joined AA, get out of my mound / lawn / basement.
1. Do not talk about "TRAID THE CORE"
2. Do NOT talk about "TRAID THE CORE"
2.1 Do YES talk about "TRAID Tha COEUR"
2.2 Do NOT talk about ongoing no-no during gamethreads
3. We are AA, not "Tim Kurkjian wannabes" (apply to get your AA Amex card)
4. AA is group therapy
5. AA does not retreat, AA does not surrender
6. Anonymous can be senseless monster who edit your posts and strikethrough your opinions
7. AA is still able to drink beer of the game or milkshakes
8. There are real rules about posting
9. There are real rules about moderation (Hello, flag button)
10. If you enjoy Metsblog comment section — DON'T
11. All your carefully picked arguments will be easily ignored if no subject line
12. Anything you said can and will be used against you
13. Anything you said can be turned into something else
14. (Gentlemen) Do not feed the trolls — it means that they win. "88 winz I say!" battle Leverage Index
15. The harder you try the higher is your grission
16. If you fail in epic proportions, it may just become a winning meme
17. Every win is Jerry's fail
18. Everything that can be labeled can be MS Painted
19. The more you screw it up, the better it gets
20. Nothing is to be taken seriously
21. Original content is original only for a few seconds before becoming Francoeur Avenue
22. FrancoeurAvenue is made to ruin every last bit of originality
23. FrancoeurAvenue is made to ruin every last bit of originality
24. Every reply is always a reply of a reply, unless you reply fail
25. Relation to reality decreases with every single made-up story
26. Any topic can be easily turned into game, movies, puppies thread
27. Always question a person's injury without any real reason. That's poor, BDMF. That's poor.
28. Always question a person's gut - just in case it's really June
29. In the internet all 2 girls are Mets fans and all kids are overhyped prospects
30. There are no girls on the internet (Exception: you have talked to David Wright on the phone or you watch Grey's Anatomy). Undeniable proof
31. STATS or GTFO - the choice is yours
31.1 Savez, RBI'z and W-L (for pitchers) are not considered STATS
32. You must have MS PAINTS to prove your statements
33. Rec more - it's never enough
33.1 Lobby more - it's never enough
34. There is MS Paints of it, no exceptions
35. If no MS Paints is found at the moment, it will be made
36. Our GM will always do even more fucked up trades than what you just saw
37. You can not divide by zero (just because it's small sample size)
38. No real limits of any kind apply for R. A Dickey entendres - not even the sky
39. CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR SARCASM
40. EVEN WITH SARCASM YOU STILL HAVE TO STEER
41. "Who?" jokes are still funny. Seriously guys. It's better than Livan jokes
42. Drinking is Sacred
43. The more beautiful and pure a thing is - the more satisfying it is to say this should really be a fanshot
44. Even one positive comment about the Rays can make you a RaysGeek
45. When one sees a lion, it's just Jose Reyes haircut
46. There is always a vest for him
47. The sitebot is always close

i hadn’t seen that exchange between anonymous and myrickgm until now. that’s priceless.

I'm totally going to bring back North Korea
I support Jenrry Mejia as a starter. Screw you Jerry Manuel for thinking he's a set-up man.
I'd just like to say
there’s way more girls in here than me and wrightgirl, also I’m pretty sure my true identity has already been discovered.
I wonder if Carl Everett believes Jamie Moyer exists.
All you need is some mac makeup, a sliming black dress, a shave, a tan and some heels
and I’d take you to the Wendy’s drive thru once.
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...

taking a girl to wendys is big time.

Wow, southern girls are apparently cheap dates.
May you be locked in a battle of wits against Jerry Manuel.

Never in the subway, or anything?
I love, when waiting for trains, to look from and keep tabs on the various rodents down there.

I saw two rats at the Rockefeller Center subway station
I could’ve sworn that they were ahem… building their legacy, if you know what I mean.

Is that still
on the way to Carrboro down Franklin? I think that’s where it was. I ate there all the time. Didn’t take a date there. We’d just go to He’s Not Here.
I did take a girl to La Residence once. Is that still there?
yeah but that ones kind of in a not very nice area now
there’s another one in the opposite direction, I couldn’t tell you the street name though.
I wonder if Carl Everett believes Jamie Moyer exists.
And Pyewacket
Took a date there once. She decided to wear a decal of mickey mouse on her cheek. It was a little embarrassing. Then again, I suppose taking her there was a reach.
Crook's
The one with a pig on the roof. If my folks came to down. Shrimp and grits. And my grandparents would take me to Carolina Inn or Fearrington (which is in Pittsboro, or was).
Mama Dips was pretty good back in the day.
Excuse the trips down memory lane. Mostly I’d just eat PBJ sandwiches or ramen noodles because I was always broke.
It's you, wrightgirl, and like one other person and maybe my mom
I plan on running a call-out thread one of these days to get the ladies up to the plate. I know we’ve got some bright female readers and I’d love to have them more active in the community.
whoa whoa whoa
why is that labeled libertarian? As a proud libertarian, I’m offended.
…How did they get a picture of me?

That thread was all kinds of awful.
Your clearly not a mets fan if you don’t have tats!! Represent!
If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

I almost wonder if they do it intentionally just to spice things up around here a little.

that's hilarious
just cause of one joke and then Peterson comes on here and declares such, I’m under suspicion of female-ity.
But the truth is, i’m 100% man (and 14% cheeta). I don’t even have a Mike Piazza Prince beard.
Can’t vouch for Inventor Frank lol.
