Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
17 minutes in and absolutely thrilled 🙂
I wonder if these two planned out spending this entire podcast with not talking about any baseball whatsoever, or indeed any sporting activity or even human game behavior.
Anyway, that’s it for me with Cistulli. I’ve had my top-up of whatever may be the lifelong requirement of this self-centered nitwit. What started out as a minorly amusing fecklessness has turned into nothing but feck. Let him go, Cameron: by his recent body of work, particularly this podcast conversation, he has proven beyond any doubt that while there may be a market somewhere for this crap, the entrance to that market should not be thru any sort of reasonably intelligent sports analysis website.
Words I know fervently anticipate on the next FG chat with Cameron: No, Carson will not be with us next season. Thanking you in advance, Cameron; it’s like public service.
You realize that the verbosity you use in your comments actually resembles Cistulli’s writing quite a bit, right?
Is that the joke? Maybe Avattoir is actually Cistulli in disguise.
