WAR ROOM LOUNGE V19: Gamblers Anonymous

[AgonyandIrony]

For the record before I get reported.... I hope it's obvious I'm overplaying the salt because A ) I'm salty and B ) it's ridiculous and funny.

 

[AgonyandIrony]

3 of Khabibs guys arrested sez Dana.

WHERE YOU READ DIS?!
Conference starting nowish tho.

 

[Trotsky]

Man, I needed this

Hasn't exactly been a banner year for ol Limbo Pete, but seeing that turd nugget get mauled really puts a shine on the shoes and a twinkle in the eye

And now to bask in the unmitigated glory of it all

See, even if I hated Conor that much (I do dislike him), I would need to at least have a neutral feeling towards the winner to get that feeling. With Khabib, I knew he was a dumb prick beforehand. So idk how you can really get a high off of a douche bag winning.

Best feeling fights:
1. Cain vs. Brock (by far #1)
2. Hendo vs. Bisping 1
3. Silva vs. Sonnen 1
4. Frank Shamrock vs. Phil Baroni
5. Rashad Evans v. Tito Oritz

 

[Quipling]

Because of the chair through the van window thing?

yeah but it was chiesa

F'real all the Irish-Americans whose great great great great grandparents came here and who are now like 8% Irish, but who are die hard Connor fans -- are the WORST.

I do not know what "chiesa" means, you brilliant bitch.

Hey man, feel how ya want
I'm floating comfortably
All is well, all is well

 

[Makani]

I had a fifty dollar bet on Khabib with a buddy...I guess I win?

 

[all caps]

The fake outrage is making me sick.

What did you think was going to happen when you put a Russian terrorist and a gypsy in a ring together.

I like you a lot.

You're a great person, and you have a stunning dong.

You're not wrong

It's not often I agree with you, or we're both not trolling about what we would be agreeing on anyway
But when you're right, you're right

 

[Trotsky]

It's weird how Dana is insisting on this both sides nonsense. Like, I get sticking with the winner, but it's fairly obvious that the Beebz is the fuck up here. It doesn't matter if Conor's corner man was talking shit. He assaulted a civilian and then his friends assaulted a civilian. I don't want to be a legal beagle here, but that's kind of it.

And, again, I was originally rooting for the Beebz. But FUCK that guy. Strip his win and his title.

Ya know, it wasn't until I went to Ireland/England that I saw the worst racism that I'd ever seen: and it was against the (Irish?) "Travelers" (the modern day European gypsies). It's absolutely insane how they were and are talked about. How English people openly talk about how they're subhuman and need to be exterminated.

So...just FWI about talking about "gypsies," especially about an Irishman.

TBH the shaming of Irish American pride follows hundreds of years of Anglo indoctrination of repressing Irish pride, from the language to traditional customs. Growing up as one of those Irish-American cats, the sentiment of an outsider in America and a distinct sense of identity.

Lets not forget, for a very very long time being Irish was a bad thing here, much of the sentiment shown towards Syrians was extended to the Irish, and honestly it was worse. I mean, the Irish and Irish-Americans fought alongside the Mexicans in the Mexican-American War (something I take pride in as an Irish-American), kept the Provisional Irish Republican Army afloat, and an Irish-American was the first true president of Eire after the Anglo-Irish War.

I find it interesting, anti Irish sentiment does still linger despite it not being so obvious. My heritage is brought up by strangers around five times a day at a minimum. An Irish-American can be a caricature of Irish culture and people go "aw shucks" (honestly it's why I get away with being the way I am) but the moment you're proud of it or someone from Eire you're labeled Plastic Paddy.

I think it's important for Irish Americans to remember what they've done for America, from being buried alive in the canals of New Orleans, uniting the country with Chinese immigrants, forming the Fighting 69th in the Civil War, Fighting as the San Patricios in the Mexican-American War, and "No Irish Need Apply".

Irish-American history is a distinct and important part of American history, and the story of the Irish people evolved after the great diaspora besides being strictly on Eire.

It's why I think White Pride is so fucking dumb, each European culture has their own distinct impact on American society and to concentrate on skin color diminishes each culture.

Well, so much for "muh McGregor bloodline" lol.

 

[Limbo Pete]

Strip his win.

A moving dolly through a bus window full of fighters, while swarming with a gang of hooligans. Yeah there were a couple minor injuries from glass.
