Get A Brain! Morans guy has a Twitter account

Josh "Randy" Sullivan is a Cardinals fan and the author of the wildly offensive and little-read Twitter feed Birds On Bats. But you might recognize him from this photograph, taken at an Iraq War counter-protest in 2004, which shortly thereafter became an internet sensation.

1. Not for long I'm guessing.

He's going to be inundated with unwanted emails and tweets.

[NYC_SKP]

2. LOL, he want's to "sue somebody":

.

from the baseball nation article link in the OP:

As I'm sure you know, the photograph of you at the‒

‒I can't talk about that. I'm in the process of suing that photographer and a bunch of internet people, if I can find a lawyer who'll represent me. [To tape recorder] If anyone listening to this is a lawyer or an attorney, please contact my twitter so I can sue somebody.

[Ian David]

5. "A bunch of internet people?"

I hope he means me.

[madinmaryland]

18. So you are the guy who is wrong on the internets!!

[morningfog]

42. "...if I can find a lawyer who'll represent me."

Don't hold your breath.

[Politicalboi]

56. Or hold a sign that says

"Looking for reprezentachun".

[Ian David]

57. There's always Righthaven. n/t

[corkhead]

7. Didn't Bob Dylan do a song by that name? "you gotta sue somebody"

[SwankyXomb]

36. Or Weird Al

[baldguy]

8. Sue was his prom date.

[unblock]

19. "i'm in the process of suing... if i can find a lawyer". guess he's pretty early in that process....

[Bake]

27. If he hasn't found a lawyer yet he hasn't even STARTED the process

Bake, Esq.

And no, I won't take the case!!

[hootinholler]

31. I suspect that if he hasn't found a lawyer by now

He has no case. Certainly no case worthy of taking on a contingency.

[pacalo]

24. Good luck with that, moran guy.

It would be difficult to find any sympathy when he's obviously posing for the picture -- & unbelievably in a "proud" way.

[Ian David]

4. Funny timing

The other day I was wondering about this guy...what he thought of the fact that his idiotic pic had gone viral.
Now, I know!
Kick and Rec!

[NYC_SKP]

6. "He has a history of enabling your mom. Interview over!"

[Control-Z]

9. Lol.

[pinboy3niner]

10. Poor guy oughta take his own advice

[LeftofObama]

11. LOL!

I was going to go dressed as him for Halloween one year. I had everything but the Cardinals T shirt and I didn't think the outfit would work without it.

[tanyev]

22. I put that together for my husband one year!

We went to a DU Halloween get together in Dallas. Hubby was a saint to wear that get-up in public. I couldn't find the exact Cardinals tshirt, but got pretty close.

[SalviaBlue]

26. Priceless

[Blue Owl]

44. Best costume ever

[Kali]

50. BWAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!

[Arugula Latte]

52. OMG ...

You guys are the best.

[HiPointDem]

12. he's using the photo as the picture on his feed, but he's going to sue over it? why do i doubt this?

[Kingofalldems]

13. Read the second tweet everyone

Says it all about the republican mentality.

[olddots]

14. gee Randy too bad that dream of a becoming a gigalo didn't pan out

[cui bono]

15. I see his spelling hasn't improved.

Mostly sports talk except I saw "Bengazi" in there. No comment. Just the word "Bengazi". And that pretty much sums up what unelected Cons know about it.

[Spirochete]

64. But the way he spells the rest of his words

he might have meant to say "Ben Gay". Maybe he was talking about sore muscles...

[Electric Monk]

16. Just got approved for a sweet Western Sky loan so me and Hepatitis John can afford #STLCARDS playof

30 Aug
Just got approved for a sweet Western Sky loan so me and Hepatitis John can afford #STLCARDS playoff tix!!!

A work ethic to be proud of

[Earth_First]

23. The interest he paid on that loan could buy season tickets next season n/t

[Liberal In Texas]

28. Just looked them up out of curiousity.

APR between 90% and 343%.
Moran indeed.

[Earth_First]

29. WOW!

Holy schnikies!

[cui bono]

17. OMGZ! "After some prodding, he agreed to an interview on the condition that I buy him

two KFC Famous Bowls™."



Wow. Doesn't get much better than that! Hahaha...

[Marr]

45. Yep-- the Famous Bowl. The Kevin Federline of food.

[pinboy3niner]

49. I woulda held out for a dinner at Olive Garden at the very least

[calimary]

20. Welcome to DU, Loup Garou!

Glad you're here! I LOVE this photo! What a maroon!

Reminds me of an early Peanuts comic strip wherein, as I recall, Lucy was trying to impress Schroeder, and wound up making a food of herself. And the final panel features her, lamenting "I'm never quite so stupid as when I'm being smart."

Hereya go! In the flesh!!! Bless his little heart-like-a-BB!

[RebelOne]

21. At least we have a name for the photo. It's been a mystery for so long. n/t

[myrna minx]

25. Awww. I've often wondered if he knew what a liberal icon he had become.

[maddezmom]

30. LOL!!

Liberal Icon!

[Elwood P Dowd]

32. Check this one out.....

BFIB ?@BirdsOnBats06 12 May

I refuse to go to Best Buy and watch any #STLCARDS game wear they use pink bats or where 42 or aren't in first place #realtalk

[Shrike47]

33. This guy should be careful with the insults. He provides SO much ammo to respond.

[amuse bouche]

34. I am going to follow him for laughs

His twitter feed is about what you would expect from a Moran

He loves baseball but refuses to watch any one swinging a pink bat. (available for players on Mother's day and for breast cancer awareness)

A true knuckle head

[Elwood P Dowd]

35. He also refuses to watch when they wear #42 in honor of Jackie Robinson. (nm)

[DirkGently]

37. Whoa. The interview is perfect. Almost TOO perfect.

I cannot imagine how a comedy sketch designed to mock our ... less thoughtful rightwing brethren would change one word of that exchange.

And yet, I cannot see any flashing "satire" sign anywhere.

I mean, this isn't mere comedy gold.

Cardinal fans absolutely demand excellence and success. The only stat we care about is W's. Sorry, nerds!


So you support the team no matter what?

Well, put it this way. If we're unhappy we'll leave the game early to show our displeasure. Also, we might not even show up at all if we're not in first place.

This is like platinum-plated comedy gold. It's juuuuust short of unbelievable. The comments seem to be asking the same question:

THERE ARE 37 COMMENTS.

Oh. My. God.
this is gold

Choose me, Ash!

Wow!

Oh god.
Best thing ever.

by Clemenx00 on Jul 17, 2011 | 4:59 PM

If this is real, it's going to spawn it's own satirical multimedia industry. Or it should.

If it's not, please tell us now.

Still great, either way.

[siligut]

48. He took out a predatory loan to buy sports tickets . . .

This is a joke site. Funny.

[blur256]

38. DEFINITELY following him now.

And I shared it on Facebook to my group of Liberal friends. LMAO. Thank you for this!

[allan01]

39. re: Get A Brain! Morans guy has a Twitter account

[blur256]

40. Oh, and so far, I love this post...

BENGAZI! Can't spell moron, how could anyone expect you to spell that?!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

41. If anyone should sue it's this guy...

[Blue Owl]

43. Rock & Roll Freedom of Speech

[volstork]

46. Real tweet from Mr. Moran

“Three things I love on this earth: Busch, Bush, and bush.”

Keepin' it classy, I see...

[jessie04]

61. It's easier for him to remember.

nt

[jessie04]

47. He is a legend.

The ultimate Darwin Award winner.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

51. I still have a hard time believing anyone would own up to being that guy. nt

[Arugula Latte]

53. OOOoooooh!!11!1!!1!!!

Super Duper Eagley!!!1!11!1!!

[Beearewhyain]

54. Poe's Law?

I'm a sceptic by nature and this seems suspect but I'm can't tell because it seems to be exactly what I would expect from someone like that? The brain spiral hurts.

[gateley]

55. Until recently worked at the local corn sugar factory?

Seems a little TOO perfect to me, along with the two KFC bowls, but I hope I'm wrong.

[DirkGently]

59. All my SATIRE antennae are up, but I can't find

proof. The column is from a seemingly straight sports site. Every link or reference that comes up is treating it as a straight story.

Maybe it's a mixture, and the guy is creating some kind of Cable Guy - esque character in hopes of becoming a star.

It really is a little too much, but then again it's not far off.

Be interesting to see what else comes out.

[gateley]

62. Well, if anyone would be sensitive to satire, it'd be Dirk Gently. :-)

I'm thinking that -- if this isn't legit -- the guy is just having us all on, just for the hell of it. Like Father Guido Sarducci did to the corporations.

[pintobean]

58. Some Cardinals fan he is

BFIB
@BirdsOnBats06

Being the best of the Best Fans in Baseball with all my being, celebrating having a winning mentality and 10 rings baby!

St Louis Missouri

Um... it's eleven rings. I guess he was too lazy to pull down his pants, so he could count to eleven.

[cynatnite]

60. I just want to know if he still has the mullet. n/t

[Generic Other]

63. He was first posted here at DU in 2003 maybe...

Someone on DU -- I forget the details -- confessed to finding that a co-worker had pinned his photo to the bulletin board in the copy room. It got photocopied. How's that for an unreliable memory of the origins of the moran?

[madinmaryland]

65. This deserves a good DU kick!!
