Brian Cook still needs a hair cut.
Didn't see it posted and I found it on another Blog. A special shout out to all us slappies who inhabit this site instead of doing work.

My question to Brian is why are you not holding a White Russian in the above picture
August 17th, 2011 at 8:54 AM ^
"They are seen as credible news outlets now"
Uh oh......
August 17th, 2011 at 8:54 AM ^
I just realized that my name is Brian, I have a goatee (albeit better trimmed), wear glasses but I have short hair.Has Dr. Cook produced Mgoblog Wunderkind clones? Genius my man, genius.
August 17th, 2011 at 8:57 AM ^
great read...
August 17th, 2011 at 8:59 AM ^
When did Brian escape from Azkaban?
August 17th, 2011 at 9:05 AM ^
You can't be Sirius.

/Saved to my Photoshop Opportunity folder.
August 17th, 2011 at 9:08 AM ^
hence the leaning

I hate to say it, but he looks like Chad Kroeger from Nickelback.
August 17th, 2011 at 9:56 AM ^
I'd say Eddie Vedder with glasses
August 17th, 2011 at 11:13 AM ^
I'm disappointed that you know what that guy looks like.
August 17th, 2011 at 3:53 PM ^
Weird Al
August 17th, 2011 at 5:23 PM ^
I had to search for this post due to Brian's comment about docking you points. Classic and genius!!
August 17th, 2011 at 6:47 PM ^
Screw the po-po. This comment was worth the two-day stint in the penalty box.
August 17th, 2011 at 7:32 PM ^
it looks like a mullet - sweet,sweet mullet
August 17th, 2011 at 9:24 AM ^
wondering what x-pac was doing these days.
August 17th, 2011 at 9:44 AM ^
...loses all strength when his locks are clipped. Do not cut thine hair, Brian. The world will crumble, and a silver-haired fox named GERG will be the only survivor.
August 17th, 2011 at 9:50 AM ^
I used to have long hair until it started thinning and I looked more and more like a guy nobody would want to sleep with. Then I cut it short and nothing changed. Meh.

Good article, love that Mgoblog has become such a huge resource that I have old people (how do I turn on the computer?) from my dads work asking if I have emailed him today with any new M related information.
August 17th, 2011 at 12:08 PM ^
I love beating fans of other teams over the head with information from five different posts to prove my point. "You are wrong because..."
August 17th, 2011 at 12:37 PM ^
However, trolls on this sight have a tougher go of it.
Cook and his team fight off the trolls. The website's switch to a Drupal platform did away with anonymous posting, and drive-by trolls.
Cook is quick to ban people who cross the line. He also fights back by giving trolls the grief of 404 error pages and slow website processing speeds. Sometimes he just likes to have a good laugh and cave them, which means trolls can post but only they can see their posts. "I have guys email me saying, 'There is this weird bug where I log out and I can't see my post. I don't think anyone can see my posts,'" Cook says. "I always tell them, 'That is a very strange bug. I'll look into that.'"
August 17th, 2011 at 12:42 PM ^
that Brian's giving 'em a hard time with the hardware, nuts-and-bolts side of the site. It would be nice if the independent MGoVigilantes committed to troll-busting got a shout out too. However, ours is a labor of love, and comedy.
August 17th, 2011 at 12:49 PM ^
There is brief mention of the point system that was adopted so that certtain users could moderate others' posts, but as you said, we don't neg for glory or admiration. We do it for the love of the game.
August 17th, 2011 at 1:36 PM ^
ARE YOU TELLING ME I JUST SPENT THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS TALKING TO NOBODY?
August 17th, 2011 at 2:11 PM ^
em0? Is that you?
August 17th, 2011 at 2:21 PM ^
You created an account just to write that?
August 17th, 2011 at 6:44 PM ^
Hi troll,
Feel free to direct your worthless post on the eleven warriors blog instead.
k thanx
August 17th, 2011 at 12:38 PM ^
We were on Comedy Company together. I will see if I can find a younger (less hairy) picture of him.
August 17th, 2011 at 2:04 PM ^
I don't need to know how the Comedy Company shaves together.
August 17th, 2011 at 2:36 PM ^
Coulda fooled me. Hope those aren't all Michigan degrees . . . .
August 17th, 2011 at 3:30 PM ^
but thousands of young people, each and every year, earn a Michigan degree. It happened to me.
August 17th, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
Why would you have long hair and not make them take pictures of it blowing in the wind?
Opportunity lost my friend.
August 17th, 2011 at 6:41 PM ^
Great article,nice to see the site and brian getting some love.
August 17th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
The readership is about 69 percent male, 55 percent college educated, 48 percent with $100,000 annual incomes, about one-third ages 18-34 and another third between 35-50 years old. Cook describes them as "all college-educated dudes without kids and lots of disposable income."
How do they tabulate this stuff? (Kind of creepy that they can find this stuff out.)
I'm surprised that only a third of readers are in the 18-34 range. I would've guessed that was 50 percent or more.
August 17th, 2011 at 6:54 PM ^
August 17th, 2011 at 7:29 PM ^
no mention of my demographic....... am I the only one?
August 17th, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
It also didn't mention what percentage are obese, percentage of users with certain eye colors, or percentage of users who have/had braces. I can't believe they missed that stuff.
August 17th, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
Guess we have to start somewhere...
5'10"/170, brown, yes
August 18th, 2011 at 10:48 AM ^
I want to know what percentage has a girlfriend? 1-6%
August 17th, 2011 at 7:37 PM ^
MGoBlog really ties the Internet together.
August 17th, 2011 at 8:51 PM ^
Looks like a younger version of Ron Jeremy to me.
