We're A Full Service Blog, We Are

Fire Jim Tracy has gone through yet another round of waffling, and so I decided to help him -- and really, my whole reading audience -- by allowing you to change the name of this blog to let you express your sentiments on just who should be fired, right at the top of this here page.

Update: Okay, joke's over. For posterity:

Fire

Comments:

Vishal -- it's called "a sly hint as to the merits of the Fire ___________ meme".
 
Can the list be expanded?

Mayor Jim Hahn
Mayor Curt Pringle
Bud Selig
Barry Bonds
Celine Dion
Kofi Annan
Van Earle Wright
Joe McDonnell
Bill O'Reilly
Spongebob Squarepants
 
What?

No Bill Plaschke?
 
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed--who never would be missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs--
All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs--
All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat--
All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like _that_--
And all third persons who on spoiling tete-a-tetes insist--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed!

CHORUS. He's got 'em on the list--he's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of
'em be missed.

There's the banjo serenader, and the others of his race,
And the piano-organist--I've got him on the list!
And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face,
They never would be missed--they never would be missed!
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy,
And who "doesn't think she waltzes, but would rather like to
try";
And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist--
I don't think she'd be missed--I'm sure she'd not he missed!

CHORUS. He's got her on the list--he's got her on the list;
And I don't think she'll be missed--I'm sure
she'll not be missed!

And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife,
The Judicial humorist--I've got him on the list!
All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed.
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind,
Such as--What d'ye call him--Thing'em-bob, and
likewise--Never-mind,
And 'St--'st--'st--and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who--
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be
missed!

CHORUS. You may put 'em on the list--you may put 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of
'em be missed!
 
What in the heck inspired a Gilbert and Sullivan song in its entirety???

I might have to visit 6-4-2 before Jon now. Besides, who can get a word in edgewise there anymore?
 
Well, the difference is in firing versus killing, but don't we all have little lists of our own?

And yes, the commenting on Dodger Thoughts has rapidly gotten rather lengthy, and without the threading mechanism on Slashdot or the SPORTSblogs series of blogs, it's hard to sift through the chaff.
 
Don't you mean vote him off the planet. The guy needs to be put in a lifepod.
 
Lifepod? Please, just space him. I dont think we should waste a perfectly good lifepod on Boras...
