So Who Or What Is "The Savior"?

So Pres all hopped up on coffee, Patriots and pennies went OFF on yesterday’s rundown because he saw someone posting on Philly as “The Savior”. Mainly, the boss had major issues with the name. Maybe it is a stupid nickname. Maybe it’s an inner Jew mechanism that gets defensive over Jesus related terms. Maybe it’s another realization that the nose is so big it’s impossible to keep track of what’s under that thing. Whatever the case, I didn’t notice or care about the name being an issue when we set it up. I mean, fuck it. As long as it’s not derogatory or offensive and he does his job I’ll call him whatever he wants. A rose can go by any other name but will still smell as sweet. However, the main consensus is people, myself included, wanted to know where this name came from. This kid can’t be that pompous enough to give himself the nickname “The Savior”. And unless his entire childhood community existed in a toolshed, there’s no way any friends would give him that monocle, either. An investigation was needed and here’s what we discovered.

Quick backstory: We needed a new Smut Lord for Philly to handle the wake ups, galleries and occasional GTA. A T-Bone with a little less Jersey trash, if you will. Bulldoggy didn’t handle to load(s) properly so before the new year I saw if anyone would inquire the volunteer position. Among the responses was this lad who somehow “Interned” for my first (now obviously defunct) blog, Almighty Philly, wayyyy back in 2010. No idea how or why I had a slave pretending to help out a site that DOZENS of hardcore Philly faithful checked out at the time, but that’s neither here nor there. He wrote a couple of blogs – literally a couple, I think 2 – and went by the name The Savior. Naturally, he was was brought back under the same anonymous name.

When stressed out Pressy blew a gasket yesterday I inquired to how the hell he got that name in the first place. Did his friends or family call him the Savior? If so, why? Was he the jackass who gave it to himself? Because that’s a MAJOR, fireable violation giving yourself a nickname, no matter what it is. Your friends decide what you’re called and if you try to change that you deserve to be called worse. Here’s the response I got (click to enlarge):

Well, shit. So I guess I’m the asshat who for some reason first called him the second coming of Christ? Egg: Meet face. I seriously have no idea when, how or why that happened. My guess is I was either A) Drunk, or B) That was around the time my once great poker career/life came crashing to the 7th level of hell and I was looking anywhere for a miracle. Probably both. Really the only explanation.

But now what’s the play? The boss obviously wants it changed, but this country wasn’t built on obeying authority. And if America proves anything it’s that anyone has a chance. Ever hear of Valley Forge and Bunker Hill? Time to voice your Democratic right:
