It isn't TIME.  It's Time.  Do you run around saying FIRE, EARTH B, KAEL, or FREEPORT?  No, so why the hell do people capitalize every letter in Time?  It's not an acronym for anything, so stop typing it like some spastic 12 year old.

Think it's an ego trip for some people that get no respect anywhere else.  Just a big LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME.  You know the type....

Hehe. This rant made my morning, but I'm going to have to give it a "G" rating.

1) Spelling: There are no spelling flaws. This robs it of a certain demented flavor. Especially the words "capitalize" and "acronym" were ripe for some Internetting. Try "capitilize" and "acranym".

2) Controversy: I'm not sure you've identified your audience, as in a group of people you want to troll viciously. Ideally, someone should spend 30 minutes obsessing about a stinging retort.

How about "why the hell does <TYPE_OF_PLAYER> capitalize every letter in Time, they all <BRUTAL_GENERALIZATION>?".

For TYPE_OF_PLAYER, some solid choices are "Beastlords", "Monks", "Shaman", "Casuals", or "Raiders". Some useful generalizations would be "have no life", "have no skill", "want every thing on a silver platter", etc. "Smell" works, if nothing else presents itself.

3) Venom: You simply don't sound crazy enough, in fact you sound like...sorry...a nice person. "spastic 12 year old" was ok, but to anyone who's raised a teen it's kind of like reading "orange oranges". How about something classic from the mental capacity family, like "IDIOT", "FRIKKEN MORON", or just "RETARD"? caps are mandatory, obviously.

3) Smilies: You simply must have a :twisted:  to give it closure. A string of them  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  would be even better.

Lots of potential here, but I'm not seeing this getting locked anytime soon.

Hmm, I don't know. The capitalization does add a sort of urgency...

Who hates baseball?

MajinFro

Baseball is extremely boring.

Now pro wrestling is the way to go.

I think baseball is great if you have the TIME to watch it.

Although, someTIMEs I do prefer to watch pro wrestling just for the sheer stupid human trick factor.

But, most of the TIME I like to watch baseball more.  I guess it really comes down to how much TIME I have on my hands.

Thanks for taking the TIME to read this.
