Deadspin invite, anyone?: Does anyone out there have a Deadspin comments account and an invite to share? Will is doing a great job over there and I want to occasionally throw my two cents in. Many thanks.

Are there any other perks we get as SpoFites? Discounts at amusement parks? Frequent flyer miles?

I'll give that a try. I have emailed before, but I didn't catch the call for members when it happened.

Discounts at amusement parks? Stay away from SeaWorld. Flipper is frisky, and apparently bi.

Good points, thanks. No one wants to get raped by a dolphin.

speaking of dolphins....sorry, I know this is all sensitive and shit, but 400 dolphins!?!! I've never heard of that many dolphins beaching themselves before. 80-90, "dozens," "a dozen" But 400?! Very weird.

but don't blame the Navy gets off moral hig ground....Don't dolphins really rape eachother?

Don't dolphins really rape each other? Yup. A few years back I was in San Diego for a marine biology thing, and I got to take the SeaWorld tour where they take you "behind the scenes". They have a class room set up with a giant tank full of dolphins adjacent to it. And let me tell ya, dolphins have got some high libidos.

That really makes Flipper look like a prick to me now, I gotta tell you. The whole tv show is ruined.

I'm sorry.

Here is a wonderful little guide on how to go about fucking a dolphin. Thanks internet! Do yourself a favor and do not click this link.

Sammy is completely wrong. Do yourself and click on his link. My eyey have been opened! Of course, I'm drunk and I'm listening to Om right now, so that might be coloring my world view.

I don't want to click that. Because if I mysteriously die in the next few days, I don't want the police combing over my computer and internet shenanigans to look for clues, and finding "Flipper Fucker" as a searched out destination. I watch SVU and all those Dateline specials, I know what's up.

elvorich -- WAY too funny.

Dolphin males have a prehensile penis. They can wrap it around objects, and carry them as such. More proof that God hates us. I mean, if we were really His favorites, why would he have not given me this? I mean, how many times have I had to go back to the kitchen to get my glass of water or a slice of pie because my hands were full? How many times have I been drinking a beer and holding the remote when I needed to scratch my knee? God! Hook me up!

Brings new meaning to "So long and thanks for all the fish."

There's a Party Fun Action Committee song called "Back in the Day" that applies here. Believe that.

Fatty, can you post a link to it? After possibly enjoying your last PFAC link (I'm still not sure), I'd love to hear more of those idiots (sort of?).

"So long and thanks for all the fish." That was the weirdest movie I have ever seen.

YYM, if you saw that abomination, you need to see the real deal to understand the genius that is Douglas Adams.

can you post a link to it? I'll try to do so tonight if I can. YouSendIt.com is in the crapper (does anyone know of a good alternative?).

Another reason not to shake hands/fins with a dolphin at Seaworld.

Or, you know, read the book(s). posted by redsnare at 11:32 AM on May 05, 2006
yerfatma, try Sendspace.

Here it is then. In my defense, someone requested it. It's NSFW and fairly gross, which is what amuses the 12 year-old in me (I ate him on Tuesday). Were it not for the bandwidth cops at work, I'd try to cleanse the pallette with something newer and friendlier. A little Gnarls Barkley, perhaps.

Wow, I really should have read that Dolphin Sex link before I tried.

I have an account. Not sure how you get invites though. Honestly, I got an account by emailing him during the last call for members and saying I belong to Spofi. Walked right in the front door. A couple of recent posts have mentioned sending an email. I think it's just tips@deadspin.com
