Best of MGoBlog: Comments.

The past few weeks I've been thinking about the best comments I've seen on MGoBlog. I'm sure everyone remembers a few good ones, so for a trip down memory lane that doesn't involve the three in the User Created HOF (link, link, link, all extremely awesome), why don't we link to some of our favorites and get a laugh on a random Tuesday, post-UV and pre-UFR?

My top five, in no particular order:

User MGoShoe, after being attacked in a previos thread about posting a "flamebait" article. OP was about a mugshot for another person named Demetrius Hart:

http://mgoblog.com/comment/reply/54281/1058591

User tripp welborne identity has two:

First, his response to Brian Kelly using helmet cams in practice for ND's QBs.

http://mgoblog.com/comment/reply/53299/1019896

And his method for getting StephenRKass an authentic Kovacs jersey:

http://mgoblog.com/comment/reply/59656/1251707

Obviously, maize and brew for me's sextuple post makes the cut:

http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/night-jerseys-selling-hotcakes-ohio

And finally, from the Lloyd Brady photoshop thread, Lloyd Brady in Tiananmen Square, from cjm:

What am I missing?

Edit: Girlfriend reminded me of the time I got her to post on an account I made for her. She threatened BlueDragon with an MGoAssBeating, so that might be popular with some of you.

The other hilarious part of the Jerseys in Ohio situation was that it spilled into another thread about your "favorite Michigan moment" in which I posted that my favorite moment was when Hoke changed the tide and started selling jerseys in Ohio. This prompted an absolutely hilarious string of responses from Profit and others questioning our intelligence until they finally realized what the hell was going on.

And the quote I was looking for:

"I woke up today face down on Keech, next to the stadium. I think I cried myself to sleep, except for the part about crying, which was actually drinking. And I dreamt that Les Miles descended from the heavens on a ray of sunlight, landing squarely on Jim Tressel like Dorothy landing on the Wicked Witch of the North. He touched my cheek and my pale, wrinkled face grew smooth, warm, and healthy again. I cast aside my bottle of Wild Irish Rose and followed Les into the bright light of future Michigan football dominance, forever and ever amen.

Then I woke up, butt cold on the pavement, and there was Bill Martin standing over me, dick hanging out of his $1000 overcoat, pissing on my head."
