Make a triumphant return! The man with no plan is traded to Anaheim, and do you even know how expensive it is to ship an Aston Martin cross country?

[MadDog2020]

What?

[Triumph]

time for another zerogravityfat thread where he assumes that we know what the hell he is talking about.

anyway the real news is that dan ellis was traded to anaheim for curtis mcelhinney.

This is going to make it even tougher for McElhinney to finish filming the 7th season of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

Somebody on Twitter also recommended that his new nickname should be Scrooge McDuck.

#danellisproblems was clearly one of the funniest things to happen on twitter this year

During August, Dan Ellis tried to make a comparison between a working individual and how much they make for how long they work versus how much hockey players make compared to how hard they work

Ellis was trying to make a point saying its not fair for people to chastise them [hockey players] cause they work very hard to earn their checks.

It completely blew up in his face and the backlash forced Ellis, who was a fan of his fans and communicated with a lot of his followers on Twitter, to disable his account.

People ganged up on him, and pretty much pulled the high school mentality of 'lets make fun of someone because they said something the wrong way' instead of being adults and using actual logic to try to figure out what he actually meant.

I've met Ellis, had conversations with him, nice guy and definitely not the villain which a lot of people painted him out to be.

i don't think anyone painted him as a villain, there's just a lot of comedy writers on twitter.

Is this Curtis guy the heir to the great Tobasco empire?

i knew exactly what you were talking about. still, it's like you told me a punchline without a set up. and i'm someone who gets it - to anyone not in the loop of wysh trolling, your title and thread are totally incomprehensible.

oh i 100% agree, the second he tweeted it and i read it i sent him a direct message sayin he was stirring the sh!t pot.

i dont blame the back-lash by a lot of people for it [some made valid arguments] others just ignored the hell out any logic and just freaked for the sake of it. its like those people who get offended over nothing just for the sake of being angry or offended.

This.

Im 21 here and a product of the technology generation so theoretically I should've got this referance, but it completely went over my head as well and just came off, as tri put it, "totally incomprehensible". Granted I kinda hate twitter so it was pretty much a garenteed miss with me, but I think that's the point.

I will say though that the whole thing is definatly funnier now knowing the story behind it.

Hey -- we can start a club!!

On the bright side for you Triumph doesn't even dignify my post with any sort of acknowledgement. I think he's got me on ignore.
