A look inside the looney bin

We here at thebbps don't take ourselves all that seriously. I mean I run the whole shebang and I'm wearing a wizard hat in my picture!

Of course we take our jobs here seriously, but if you can't have some fun and have a good laugh at yourself then why bother, right?

So in that essence I've decided to post an email chain we had going for a good chunk of yesterday afternoon. What starts as a notice of a site picking up one of our stories quickly devolves into us yelling at each other and ranking Ducks and Ninjas (among many other things) in order of greatness. It all ends in the only way it can when contextual ads are involved...

Hit the jump for a peek behind the curtain (and don't take anything you read seriously).

Dan:

look who picked up one of our stories...

Xav:

BASTARDS!

Dan:

they did credit us

Kevin:

They killed Kenny!

Xav:

BASTARDS!

Kevin:

Some day one of these email chains is going to be published.

Santos:

FUCK HALO.. ok post... haha

Kevin:

FUCK FINAL FANTASY VII...OK, now post it.

Xav:

FUCK ROCK BAND

THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT AND NOW WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT.

Dan:

FUCK CANADA

Jimmy:

FUCK DAN'S MOM.

Finally -- something we can all agree on (and tick off on our "to do" list.)

FYI -- PixelJunk Racers is only $6.99 AND there's a demo. Plus Everyday Shooter trailer and a shitload of free wallpapers today. Go Go gadget Playstation Store!

Santos:

I will check it out, I need a reason to boot my PS3 up.

Dan:

Can't be as bad as Super Rub-A-Dub

... that's right Jim, I went there.

Jimmy:

YOU LEAVE MY DUCKIES OUT OF THIS!!!

If you don't at least download the demo, you gots no words I can hear on the ducks. Get it before pixeljunk or I'll pixel your junk!

Santos:

Sorry dude but those ducks suck. Sad but true.

Jimmy:

...and have you played it Mr. Gonzalez?

Santos:

That I have sir, At least the demo.Is the full game different then the demo?

Xav:

I played Super Rub-a-dub and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it is comparable to being punched directly in the nuts.

'Nuff said.

Santos:

Wow, I wouldn't go that far. I would like it more if it was free.

Jimmy:

My Ducks>Your Opinion

Santos:

Space Giraffe > Ducks

Dan:

damn skippy...

Pirates>Ninjas

Giraffes>Ducks

Jimmy:

Fuck that. Everybody knows Ducks>Pirates.

Santos:

What if it's a pirate duck?

Dan:

He'd get beat up by the pirate giraffe...

...course they'd both kick the living hell out of the ninja ducks

Kevin:

Flying V > Pirates

Ninjas > Giraffes > Pirates

Giraffes > Ducks

Ducks > Pirates

Giraffes < Flying V

Johnny Depp > Pirate Movies

Johnny Depp < Men At Work (movie, not the band)

Colin Hay <= Johnny Depp

EVERYTHING < Emilio Estevez

Jimmy:

Time Magazine > TheBBPS

Ooooooo.... burn.....

:P

LMFAO -- the sponsored ad above this thread?

" Just Ducks, Ducks, Ducks - www.Justducks.co.uk - The UK's leading Specialists for Designer Rubber and Fluffy Ducks."

And that's where it ends, with Google inserting Rubber Duck adverts into our gmail accounts...

That seems about as productive as a corporate meeting, just a little less childish.

I can't believe you all were talking about ducks and that damn dog that laughs at you when you miss in Duck Hunt didn't come out.

Bastards. Everyone of you.

Bastard Laughing Duck Hunt Dog you want to shoot but can't > You lot

It's actually more productive, because through thoughtful insight and numerous charts, we determined that Emilio Estevez is better than everything.

And isn't that what's really important?

For the record, Emilio Estevez can suck my dick. I was almost a Mighty Duck but got fucked on the last callback.

That being said, Freejack is the shiznit.

So by your logic, shouldn't you hate all things ducks?

"That is so meta."

Did you notice that EVERY 1Up podcast overuses this word "meta"?

You can almost feel the meta-synergy of the paradigm shift in this vertically aligned dialogue. Meta-phorically speaking, of course.
