The Series is over. Man, that took a long time. It’s been a pretty busy, exciting week over here at SlangKo, Inc. Aside from the SlangKo Post Season Hootenanny finally winding down, putting the finishing touches on the cards that the winner will be getting, and trying to scan and post all the new stuff I […]

So the ALCS and NLCS are distant memories. The Phightin’ Phils will be facing the Bronx Bombers in what hacky sportswriters are already dubbing “The Turnpike Series”. As a lifelong Jersey resident, I’m not sure how I feel about being dragged into this, especially when you consider how much I dislike both teams, but what […]

I mentioned last week that I had a post in the works involving Coney Island, Frenchmen, a Hall of Famer and a stupid plastic bag. Well, let me explain. First, what’s with Coney Island and the French?

It’s getting interesting. 3 of the series are done, which means the only people getting points now is whomever had Phillies players. Don’t forget to start putting in your picks for the next round. Again, if you want to pick a Phillie or a Rockie, just put a back-up pick in parenthesis. Here we go: […]

Things here at SlangKo World Headquarters have gotten quite hectic. But in a good way. First of all, we’re working feverishly to finish up the 16 Heroes of the Diamond cards for whoever ends up winning the Post-Season Hootenanny. Also, Thorzul is having one of the funnest looking contests I can recall seeing since I […]
