successful, successful concrete!

concrete still works!

revenege is best when undeserved

Well, TTA has already deleted our digital declaration of dominance from their Myspace page. (it almost lasted an hour) I suggest that you all copy this code, befriend them, and paste this into a comment.

Don't you know Team Tiger Awesome, more problems= more money!<br>

and now, at long last, Victory can be declared...we think, mostly by default

Oh Team Tiger Awesome, we hoped you would have proved more formidable opponents than that. It has been nearly a week now with not even an inkling of an attempt at communication (except they did remove our Myspace comment.) We can only honestly assume two possible scenarios:

1. They all died of shame, and therefore, as survivors of such a brutal and violent web-war, we are the unquestioned victors.

2. They took the moral highroad and chose to not get tied up in petty internet one-up-manship, and therefore as survivors of such brutal and one-sided character assaults, we are the unquestioned victors.

We would like to point out at this time that, given the content of their comedic output, the plausibility of the second "moral highroad" scenario is highly dubious.

Either way, we win, and we made them another logo:


If anyone took the highroad, it is us, YOUNG TEAM MANAGER!

absolutely no floating above motorcycles beyond this point

Implausible feats of idiocy, or, another craigslist gem, unearthed

what follows is a series of conversations, found, quite accidentally, on our local chicago craigslist, under the 'labor gig' heading. i stand dumbfounded, centered between childlike elation and a deep sadness, that these posts are real. a collective sigh is in order, dear reader.

first post - "a challenge issued"

reply #1 - "the journey begins, peaks, and ends"

reply #2 - "posthumous fun with math"

reply#3 - "the denouement"

also victory

We have done it again, we have impressed ourselves. As TTA (or TLS; still waiting to hear back) takes another blow, YTM takes another load of victory right on the chest. This latest assault was made hurling obscenities at a wireless mouse while Photoshop was running in the other room. The result is simply, the best thing we've ever seen.

Here is a picture of the wreckage:

As we still haven't heard from TTA (or TLS) we don't know if they were killed in the humiliation or are just crying, but we think both are true.

TTA=0
YTM=2

join in our crusade to crush them by becoming their friend.

we're serious because we're not joking

In our campaign to crush all other online humor troupes with three word names where "team" is one of the words, we have stumbled upon these trout lickers:


TEAM tiger awesome! PSH! Don't they read our blog? Don't they know the danger they have put themselves in picking out that name way before we had thought of ours?

In a modest attempt at diplomacy we have created for TEAM Tiger Awesome, an alternate name suggestion that would not infringe in any way on our supremacy:


So it turns out that it does still EXACTLY infringe on our criteria, but it took like 6 minutes in Photoshop, so disregard it as an act of diplomacy and re-regard it as an act of WAR! HAHA! Take that TEAM Lousy Stupid!

Rudimentary attempts have been made (5 minutes ago) to contact TTA (or TLS, they have neither accepted or denied the new name) but they have yet to respond. Which means we are currently winning the war that only we know we were involved in. I knew we had it in us. Below is a copy of the communique that was dispatched to TTA's (orTLS') officers.

Start:
Greetings as well as salutations TEAM TIGER AWESOME! We discovered you hiding on the internet the other day. Well, needless to say, we were stunned, shocked, and in a state of extended disbelief. How could there POSSIBLY be another online comedy troupe possessing a three word name with one of those words being "TEAM" when we so loudly proclaimed ourselves the one and ultimate online comedy troupe of name pertaining to the aforementioned criteria.

The point is, WE are Young "TEAM" Manager. We are stunned, shocked, an in a state of extended disbelief at your blatant disregard for our supremacy. This type of comedic John Wilkes Boothery will not stand. This is a declaration of our intent, weather you like it or not, to defame your college humor tinged antics with our amazing skill.

I warn you now to be on the highest guard, for we will prove to be cunning opponents of the highest caliber. Why already we have requested to be your "friend" on Myspace. Ha! You probably fell for it hook line and sinker. What we were really doing was setting you up to become our enemy, but as of yet, Myspace does not have that option, so, FOOLS! Foiled already. Oh Team Tiger Awesome, I presumed you to be more competent than that. (note: please don't deny our friend request at this point, we would look the fool instead of you, and we haven't yet allotted for any foolishness on our part in the plan.)

So meet our challenge! It is the only option besides ignoring us. But either way, we have already heroically poked fun at your precious logo! HAHAHA! Yes, history proves that the best attacks are the ones where you have to alert the victim that they have been attacked. And that is just what we have done, just what we have done.

YTM= 1
TTA= 0

-sincerely,
Young Team Manager

covering our ass while proclaiming to the heavens...

We are the one, only, true, and supreme online humor outfit with a three word name, in which one of those words is "Team." We shall suffer no others to live!

Monuments to Human Achievement Series, No.2

As Reported in the New York Times earlier this week:

20 Year old x-treme sportist, Cheese Headstand, announced on Tuesday his intention to be the youngest and first person to grind the entire Alps mountain range.


Cheese Headstand pictured in front of section of custom Alpine Handrail.

"Yeah, so see all that, I'm gonna grind it." said the presumably excited young Headstand.

The Alps is one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc at 4,808 m on the French-Italian border. From this summit, Hedstand will begin his x-treme decent.

The rail covers a total of 243 miles and reaches angles of up to 45 degrees at certain points.

"Yeah, so I'm not sayin' it's gonna be easy, I'm just sayin it's gonna be awesome, and I'm gonna do it."

Cheese will be grinding on a custom handrail made out of antique Ferraris and original Wright Brothers aircraft. The construction of the rail was begun in 1903 by Cheese's Great Grandfather, Elbow Headstand. The rail was initially built with Timber, but with the increased availability of Ferraris and Antique Aircraft, the timber was eventually replaced.

Elbow Headstand was an American pioneer of X-treme Sports; paving the way for his Great Grandson's generation to do some insane shit.

"Yeah, so my Great Grandpa, Elbow Headstand started building the rail when he was like 28. It was his dream to grind it, but they hadn't even started grinding big shit like that back then, so he never got to; never occurred to him."

Headstand is slated for his first attempt in November.

Headstand re-articulated his confidence, "Yeah!"

Immigrant laborers were hired for 3 cents every two days to help construct the rail. Hundreds lost their lives working under such x-treme conditions.
