    The Fun Returns!

    It is clear to me that the current status of RZ is my fault. As the most iconic and beloved person in the history of the board, I have a duty to all of you, the little people, to make your miserable little lives a little bit more livable. Therefore, in an attempt to brighten up your dreary lives I am bringing back everyone's favorite idea, Speak in the Third Person week. Starting at game time tonight, and lasting until the Reds lose, you are required to speak in the third person. Punishment for not doing so will be severe mocking.

    Raisor, champion of fun time, has spoken.

    Make sure you pass it along on facebook and twitter. Raisor wants all Reds fans across the globe to join in this time. Ultimate goal is to have Raisor get mentioned on the radio again.

    Raisor, your name is very short and is already known throughout the interwebs. That cool guy underscore twenty-two hates his own name for the length and 2 breaths it takes to say fully. however That Cool Guy underscore Twenty-Two understands the need to maintain the streak.

    "Because remember, a bucket is not a tree house, nor should it."

    1st person to find the full post of that wins an autographed picture of Raisor that That Cool Guy underscore Twenty Two took while masked as a member of the paparazzi. Unfortunately the autograph is actually of Bieber since Raisor could not be bothered to leave his laboratory.

    Wait, the first time we did this was because the Reds were in a funk and you started the third person speak (by the way, it wasn't actually you per se but your ego needs the boost, so.....) and the Reds went on win streak.

    The Reds are currently playing lights out - - why mess with that?

    Agreed. DO NOT TEMPT THE GODS.
    There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

    This. Third person speak was always reserved for when the Reds were doing poorly and needed to break out of a slump. We're winning, so let's not mess with that by changing the rules now!

    Raisor is trying to bring the fun back. This is an important series and Raisor wants to do everything he can.

    Raisor's ego can handle it.

    If this fails you must wear a red man thong to turn the tide. Just saying.
    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    What makes you think Raisor isn't already doing that?

    Reds44 is all for this.

    Speaking of twitter, Reds44 is curious how many of "you people" are on twitter?

    KittyDuran is on board as well.

    KittyDuran is also on twitter but mostly follows sports/entertainment wonks (and Duran Duran, or course) and rarely tweets. Does that make KittyDuran a twit?

    KLW is fine with the fun returning but would be against Backsteets being back again.

    StillFunkyB likes the idea.

    StillFunkyB was also wondering the other day what ever happened to the Reds prospect Coombs? Will he make an appearence for the Pirates series? StillFunkyB thinks just the mentioning of his name strikes fear into the black and yellow and will send them home crying.
