A few weeks ago I made a vague reference to the fact that soon you’d be able to get all of your favorite quotes from the 2005 Cubs’ season in a more convienient and costly book form. Well, your long wait is over. The newest addition to your Desipio library is ready for your purchase through Lulu.com, an online publisher and book seller. The book, cleverly titled “I resent the inference” has all of the quotes we collected here at Desipio in the section, cleverly titled, “I resent the inference” from Spring Training through the end of the season. As a bonus, you also get every entry in the Hank White Fan Club over the same time span and an official Hank White Fan Club membership card.
The book goes for a whopping $7.99, and makes a nifty stocking stuffer, especially for someone you hate. It’s destined to replace fruitcake as the holiday gift exchange gift that no one will trade you for.
So let’s all relive the 2005 season. It’s your chance to get mad at Dusty all over again.
Tre-cool. Does the three ring binder it’s bound in have a removable front page so I can reuse it?
Nope. This one looks like a book and everything. I got my proof copy yesterday. The shiny cover makes an excellent coaster.
When does the “Green Street Journal Collection” become available?
How about a compendium of Jake Potter’s greatest hits?
A 1-page pamphlet on “Kaseberg’s Best Jokes”
When can we expect…?
… Mike D.’s Arcane Annecdotal Asides About His Feelings on All Things Cub (with edit stamps at the bottom of each page)
… Chuck’s No, I’m Right; You’re Wrong
… Dave B.’s Collection of Cardinal Whinings
If so, #6, then I’ll take 5.
If so, #6, then I’ll take 5%
Honesty compels me to say that the book is only $7.95! And, I believe I’m only mentioned once.
Buy the buhk, morans
Why is the lonely, anonymous asscastle so annoyed by me?
And why is he is so REDUNDANT in his criticism of some of the regular Desipiots?
And why do I give a flying fuck?
Maybe these questions are answered in the book. I’m gone get me one.
My compilation is readily accessable.
And ignorable.
Yo 11, ya’ll should say, “I’m finna get my ass one”.
I’m still a fraud.

Oh yeah, …. it’s “MORON” … I should know.
Who has Ronnie Woo Woo getting hit by a bus on their radar screen? Anyone??
Woo woo was at the Northwestern-Iowa game on Saturday. He spent the entire 4th quarter comeback standing up facing away from the field. At least he kept quiet.
Could I be more retarded?
Probably not Ronnie, as you were holding a small Bears helmet and dressed in your full Cubs outfit at a Norhwestern game.
I don’t know who keeps appearing as Sanjay, but you’re killing me. I just laughed so hard I shot hot coffee out my nose.
Craven,
That’s why you should stop drinking coffee and start eating salad.
A stocking stuffer for people I hate? Hey Chuck, can you get me a loan? I’ve got a lot of books to buy.
Is it in Arabic?
We endorse the Spanish version!
Seeing Mike D.’s edit stamps on his Messageboard posts is annoying because it is obvious he is re-reading his posts AFTER he hits the “Post Message” button. This means one of two things: He is too impatient to get his brilliant prose out on the web to proof it; or he really is impressed by his writing and enjoys reading it after posting it.
I am thinking it’s the latter, as only a self-absorbed “here’s what I think and how it relates to my personal life” poster would have 1500+ posts.
It’s a little bit of both, #26.
As proof of the latter, I’ve got a huge glossy poster of myself in my office that I stare at lovingly when not constantly posting on the messageboard.
It reads, “Mike, Keep up the excellent writing, sport. Signed, Mike”
It serves as my inspiration.
Thanks for reading, champ! I’m humbled that you care so much. And, for someone as “self-absorbed” as I am, humilty don’t come cheap.
If you’re that upset by the appearence of the edit stamp, maybe message boards are not the best place to hang out. I never even notice the things.
I think I’m a better place for the angry troll to hang. A good buggerin’ might make him a bit less tightly wound. He’s obviously screaming for a release of some sort and, judging by the fact that he trolls a messageboard so that he can gather material from which to lob his sharp-honed insults to a bunch of people who really should be of no consequence to him from behind the secure wall of anonymity makes me think that it’d be impossible for him to get close to a memeber of the opposite sex.
Unless he’s into fat chicks.
CT – It’s not upsetting; it’s annoying.
And it’s annoying because it would seem Mike D.’s fictional office poster might not be all that fictional. I bring it up because Mike D. has an unerring capacity to constantly edit his posts de facto. Go look  I’ll wait.
This driving need to edit is curious to me because he is often critical of B.C.’s writing (among others), yet seems to have his own copy of Strum und Drang.
I know Mike D. doesn’t purport to be a professional writer, but his repeated edit stamps yield the two thoughts I put forth above. Either conclusion (he is impatient vs. he loves his own writing) is annoying to me.
If what annoys me doesn’t annoy you, perhaps you shouldn’t comment on it on a messageboard or in a comments section.
Right, GBH, anonymity is the devil’s scourge.
Do your friends just call you “Gay” for short? What a terrible name to be saddled with.
Actually, I notice them but, given the choice between coming off as an illiterate retard and an obsessive-compulsive retard, I prefer to be the OCD ‘tard and just live with the stamps.
The fact that they aggravate a guy so much that he has to come over here and flame me just tickles my sack like a feather.
And guy,
I’m sorry that I annoy you so much. Come down to my office at 162 N. Franklin, Suite 500, and I’ll take you downstairs to buy you a beer. I’m really not that annoying in person.
Just ask my probation officer.
Do I need to post that fighting on the internet/Special Olympics poster? #30;,Kaseberg, is that you?
Slow day at retirement home, so I did go back and look. Last 30 posts for Mike D.: 3 edits. Not bored enough to back any further than that.
So he’s right 90% of the time.
If Editur Stamper doesn’t shut the fuck up, I’m going to wrap my biceps around his neck until his eyes pop out. That way, he’ll no longer have any text about which to complain.
First Down!
90% of the time, he’s right every time.
That’s the LAST thing anyone should do around here. Don’t try to make things right.
Yawn.
Being misquoted is aggravating. Your edit stamps are annoying. There is a distinction. Re-read #30.
Mike D. posts as though a thread isn’t complete without his opinion being posted. And when he finishes his typing and dusts his hands, he leans back and re-reads what he wrote with a self-satisfied smile.
That he doggedly pursues this pseudo-on-line reputation is aggravating.
Enjoy that BMOC status, fella. It must have tons of perks, none greater than the knowledge that you complete us.
Ed Hoculi eats babies before games, it’s downright scary. Now if you’ll excuse me, Schottenheimer is calling me a dumb Pollock again.
And Mike, I don’t think you’re an annoying person. You’re a Cubs fan, so that takes you to the front of many lines. It’s not a “I hate Mike D.” vendetta that I am running. It’s more of a “Mike D.’s edits are annoying because it seems like he is reading his posts after he submits them.” Seems lazy; seems really lame; and therefore annoys me.
Editing is one thing, #39. But I prefer that you stop plagiarizing me, asshole!
#29, don’t be knockin’ the fat chicks, dude. Lots of lovin’ to go around….
If I read my articles after I wrote them in the manner that Editur Stamper suggests Mike D.’ does, maybe I’d save the world a whole lot of trouble by killing myself.
It IS lazy. It IS lame. But, like I suggested earlier, I’d rather be lazy and lame than illiterate. I’m sorry it annoys you but, as a guy who gets easily annoyed by many things in the world, I understand.
And I rip BC because I care. Besides, I’ve never ripped BC for an off-the-cuff messageboard comment. Just his Desipio pieces which have, incidentally, gotten better over time. In the same vein, take a trip to my lame, lazy seldom-updated blog and fire away at me there. Ripping my comments from the messageboard is nearly as lame as my having re-edited a handful of them to begin with.
What’s the alternative to NOT editting one of your own posts after seeing something that is edit-worthy?
Letting it sit up in cyberspace so you can look like a fuckin’ buffoon to the entire world? That considered, is editting such a bad thing?
What’s worse, looking like a complete fuckshitting moran, or having a few edit stamps following your posts?
Unfortunately for our fine feathered anonymous friend, no amount of editting would white-out the idiocy that runs rampant with each keystroke he inflicts upon us.
got salad?
Edit stamps…
Good times
