Warning: *shakes off rust* Contains several spelling, grammar errors. Yesterday, I became Internet famous. I don’t know why and can say I honestly was not trolling the Sabres. I’m not a troll. :( I can’t even begin to explain how weird this situation was. Here is my story.
It all started when Phil tweeted about how Sabres fans could send in a song choice for game night. Naturally, my first instinct was to send the Sabres a Britney song (like, duh). There was a ferocious backlash from the guys so I jokingly RT’d Sabres.com with Rebecca Black. You know, that whack girl singing about how she likes cereal or some shit and can’t find a seat in her friends car even though there are like three people in it. I don’t know I only heard it twice. And the second time was Bob Dylan style.
Meanwhile, I’m browsing Tumblr like a boss while at the same time trying to figure out why guys hate me, what I want to do with my life, how I’m coming up with money for grad school, angry my laptop died, hating the miserable weather and the next move in tetris. Did I mention two job openings I really wanted were scrapped, one place practically burnt themselves to the ground and temporarily closed and another played phone tag with me for a week but when I finally got ahold of them my phone decided it didn’t want to give me service? Yay! Good times job hunting since NOVEMBER.
So existential thoughts happened when the Sabres fans on Tumblr were are all, “LOL REBECCA BLACK AT THE SABRES GAME!!!1″ I found this to be semi-amusing but didn’t really click to enlarge the screenshot. I laughed at the earlier tweets where I said “haha ‘Friday’ that would be FUNNY” not really getting that I totally made it happen. I looked at my blown up inbox on twitter, completely confused, wondering why people were congratulating me (and “hating” me) for getting Rebecca Black on the playlist. Then, it hit me.
Clearly, seeing as I put “haha” after my RT to the Sabres, they knew it was a joke. Or they are completely Internet stupid… but I doubt it. In my head I see a sweetass Sabre intern who has an amazing sense of humor. To that, I commend you my good sir and/or lady. I didn’t hear the song and didn’t have access to the interwebs until later that night so I totally missed it. I don’t know when or which part they played so that was sucky but oh well. I have confirmation from several sources it happened so I will take you at your word, Deadspin. If you laughed at this, I love you because I did too.
Go Sabres.
(I just thought of this but Friday is kind of reminicent of Kim Kardashian’s new song. They playin’ my jam. They playin’ my jam. I am unable to put any sort of emotion in my jam.)

Well played! You can find my own bloggins over your tweet over here: http://buffalo74.wordpress.com/2011/03/16/sabres-fan-tunes-feature-backfires-fans-tortured-via-very-non-elaborate-twitter-hoax/
As for all the haters, well, welcome to the celebrity lifestyle. Dang, ain’t it good to be a gangsta!
I think the best part of it all is that they played it on a Tuesday night.
It’s totally good to be gangstarrr. Thanks for the link!!! And being on my side haha
who can i blame as a result of my seeing/hearing that “song” for the first time just now? the record company? the entire entertainment industry? the Keebler Elves? i now have a simmering rage at humanity that can perhaps only be cured by a Sabres sweep this weekend.
excellent prank tho.
