red floyd vs Mayheminthehood
As we roll along this battle of champions of blogging of the Nation of the SB....
I picked this as the second matchup just due to the amount of awesome I am positive will come out of this. I want to get off to a strong start, have two awesome bros show everyone how its done, and there is no one else I can think of than mr floyd and baldy mcfirehands to bring it home.
Going into the Halowood matchup I knew full well whom I was voting for, for several reasons. This is not the case here. I honestly do not know who I will cast my vote for as it will be entirely based on the cases they make for themselves. Hopefully I can get some idea for my matchup against DoV, as I am going to need all the help I can get.
This matchup and voting will run to the 3rd, around noonish. Winner moves on, loser takes shots with Samo in the blogging underworld.
Good luck you champions of prose, ladies of literature.

Its like choosing between chocolate brownies and chocolate kittens
there is no way I can decide without further help.
I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....
need to see their posts!!
they are both legendary awesomenesses
The saddest day of the year is the day baseball season ends.
You using the phrase "legendary awesomeness"
makes me giggle like a fat kid who just got poked with a stick made of marshmellows.
I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....
This could easily be a finals match
rf is the consistent pulse of the community
mayhem is the inconsistent pulse of the rabid fan
exactly....this feels like finals. Two of the superstars.
is it too late to change contenders???
hell put me up against one of them so I can lose and they can BOTH advance. Seriously. I’m willing

We missed a lot of people
I had no idea it would get this serious and everyone would get into it as they did with people genuinely upset they didnt make it.
Obviously people who were banned 5 years ago would not make the cut for poster of 2011 if we thought we could fill out a 32+ bracket with people who actually wanted to participate.
If this all goes well, we will do a significantly better job next year.

Red Floyd vs. Mayhem
Tough Call. I find red insightful, I find mayhem entertaining. Sheesh. I guess, Mayhem, but I mean this no slight to red floyd
More Howie please...
I'm ready...
but matching up with WiHaloFan in my rookie year probably won’t end well…
He’s a staple in the community while I’m the mid-major that got the one automatic bid for winning my conference tournament. It’s Middle Tennesee State vs. Duke. I’m just hoping to cover the spread.
Im 100% sure there will be AT LEAST one upset in the bracket
due to a hilarious, awesome ,ridiculous post made by someone to ninja a matchup from a big guy.
May as well be the only duo in the thing, never know.
I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....
Haha we'll see what happens
If nothing it’ll be a nice experience and hopefully I can build on it for a better seed next year.
In some regards this feels bracket feels like picking between siblings, as if one was better than another
More Howie please...
tough call
Really wish there was a LOL BONERS ARE HILARIOUS option

My Case for Mayhem
His posts are, for the most part, so affable.* I only started posting here recently, but his posts always strike me as “happy to be alive, lovin’ the Halos”.* Plus, there’s the photoshop work, which is just wonderful.*
*Absolutely no disrespect meant to red. That guy is awesome. Tough seed, indeed.
Winning doesn't matter. -Lyle
Sorry Mayhem, but we older guys have to stick together.
Point to red floyd.

OK guys, Here's my shot.
Damn, this is a tough one… and I can’t even bring out all the heavy artillery! I mean, if I’m lucky enough to squeak past Mayhem, WiHaloFan is next. Either one of us will have our hands full with him.
Oh, and a personal note to Mayhem for all that trash talk on the other threads…
Are you talking to me? You must be, because I don’t see anyone else here!!!
I mean, I could just rely on my 30000 HH comments, but that’s a counting stat, rather than a rate stat. Of course, even though I’m an ex-rocket scientist, all that SABR stuff is greek to me.
Though I have made a fool of myself at the Big A — see the Rally Raaddad video, where ’Bug is pretending not to know me — I do have to say, I have never been seen in public wearing only a diaper. Surely that has to count for something!
Also among my great achievements is getting a slot on The Limey’s List of Things GA is Too Lazy To Do (My entry was “bat in all 9 slots”).
So, in conclusion, I’d like you all to vote for the right guy… in other words, me.
Before I leave, I’d like to leave you with a little nugget from 2009 (Yeah, it’s from ‘09. Mayhem’s a tough competitor. Sue me.):
From the Book of Arte, Chapter MMIX
- And did the Seraphim do battle yet again with the Stockinged Ones.
- Four times before had they battled, and never had the Seraphim been victorous.
- And the Stockinged Ones had a mighty herald, and the name of the herald was Espin.
- And Espin proclaimed that surely the Stockinged Ones would prevail.
- As Espin sayeth, “Surely the Stockinged Ones shall prevail, for never before have the Seraphim conquered them”.
- And did the soothsayers believe Espin, and foretell the same.
- Yet the host that was of the Seraphim did have their mighty sticks of thunder.
- And forsooth, the first two battles were in the place of the Seraphim, under the Mighty Alpha.
- And did John the Large cast his ball mightily, and the Hunter did wield his weapon so that the Stockinged Ones did lose the first battle.
- And in the second battle, was the Clothmaker battling the Playwright, and yet again were the Stockinged Ones defeated.
- And then did they journey unto the Way of the Fen, even in the shadow of the Monster that is Green.
- And the Stockinged Ones did frustrate and confound the Seraphim, e’en unto the brink of defeat.
- For the Stockinged Ones did bring out the Smear.
- And yet, the Seraphim feared not, for the spirit of the Monkey was with them.
- And behold, the Admiral did smite the ball.
- And did he of the Fig note that the casting was poor, and travel unto the field of battle.
- Then did the Chupacabreu wield his weapon mightily, smiting even the Monster.
- And the Stockinged ones took note and did try to achieve by guile that which they could not by force.
- For did they pass up the Hunter that they might do battle with the Big Father.
- And verily, had the Big Father been wounded, that his might was not as before.
- And yet, the Big Father did show the Stockinged Ones the error of their ways, for he did smite the ball, that those on the field of battle might return home.
- And were the Seraphim victorious, and they did use a broom as well.
- And all the soothsayers were astonished, as they had been in days of yore.
- And Espin was silenced, for the nonce.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?

Your observation on GA was epic. Hard to go against the Hood, but I went red.

Maybe next year
we should just have people submit a list of their top 25 or so members of the year.
Then you make a bracket by taking the top 32 from that.
That way we don’t end up with such a brutal first round.

I especially enjoy his work in the game threads. He’s a great counter puncher in that he’ll reply to someone’s comments with snark, song lyrics, movie references, or his patented “nooo.com” links.
He’s the best!

Maybe we get a pass since we're the first "real" match. But from the Halowood/Johnsamo page:
Each poster replies to this thread with the reason why HH should vote for them and not the other guy/woman/donkey. One post per contestant, no replies allowed. Keep it within the rules of HH, but make it as fun as you want (if you want, or cite actual examples of sabermetrical ownage in an argument, or whatever). Then let voters reply and do their thing. The people involved in the matchup can only post ONCE in their matchup thread, no exceptions. This is to avoid flame wars over something that is obviously for fun. Everyone else not involved in the matchup can post all they want, boast about their upcoming matchup, or even post ideas for the tournament. Nothing is really set in stone, and its all fun and games.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
Zero disrespect to RF, but no one from the Vegas meetup will be voting for anyone but the Mayhem
You can see, but you can’t unsee.
I was there, but fortunately not THERE. But I'm still here, so there's that.
"It is a haunted game in which every player is measured against the ghosts of all who have gone before."
I gotta say the 'stache is a plus for Floyd. Love it.
But Mayem is like that one friend you want to outgrow but he’s to damn fun. Leaning Floyd.
Unlike this cat, my love for the LAA will never die.
and feeling like a fool
Mary McGregor, not Carly….Red would have never made that mistake
I’m kinda disgusted with myself for knowing that
Well, come see a fat old man some time!
I voted for Red because he's quick, witty, and works his butt off for ALS
the last probably isn’t fair, but anything that makes feel good about knowing someone works.
I did direct Vongveng (Moondoggy Jr.) to vote for Mayhem, though. He’s a street poet that I would hang with in the vain hopes that his super coolness would rub off on me.
This was a bad seed, Phi. Samo will get crushed
Well, come see a fat old man some time!
Definitely tough....
But Red eeks it out by demonstrating his wit and humor once again.
For me, it was the retro Jim Shooter reference.

red, that post made 20% of my hangover vanish from the pure awesome in the post.
And since im like 243252345lbs (yeah I dont know how to quantify hangovers) hungover, thats a lot.
I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....
So I would like you all to know
My ex whom I hate with a firey passion was at the same party last night (I have no idea how that happened, since I literally went to a party and hour from where I live), got so drunk I projectile vomited not once, not twice, but thrice and continued on. Got in a fight and lost so badly I have black and blue bruises everywhere, I broke my foot (not even related to the fight), almost got arrested, and now have the worst hangover of all time.
Yet the only thing I wanted to do was check this damn thread the whole night.
Damn you Halos Heaven for stealing my soul.
