I didn't even see this until this morning, but one of the fine gentlemen mentioned below also attempted to spoil the Tonys for me out of sheer spite. Y'all are goin' down like sweet muffins.
[FURTHER BUTT UPDATE] Um. So I was downloading the photos from my phone to post, and it was impossible to discern this on tiny screen, but...there are balls involved here, in two of the photos. So rest easy; you are all safe from man-ass and its attendant dangly bits, because despite what David Johnson of Knoxville, TN would have you believe, this is not that sort of website, and posting the photos in question would frankly hurt us more than them. The question now being...what sort of revenge is both proportional and entertaining? Your suggestions welcome.
And in the interest of avoiding further retaliation, I would like the point out that I still got all your moms on speed-dial.
I was watching the Tonys over an hour behind (thanks to DVR) but between you and TSW on Twitter I was afraid for my life to post anything about the results.
I'm upset "West Side Story" didn't win Best Revival, but Karen Olivo winning for Anita eased that pain. Watching Bret Michaels get clobbered by the set was pure joy. And there's nothing better than seeing Liza Minnelli splutter through her acceptance speech.

Get someone who thought you were talking to them to follow these perps on twitter.
Posted by: The Great Barstoolio at June 8, 2009 08:25 AMI don't really have anything interesting to add, folks, but I wanted to be a part of any discussion of the Tonys with other sports bloggers.
I knew better than to spoil anything for you via Twitter based on what I say from the French Open.
Posted by: Jon Pyle at June 8, 2009 08:33 AMGood decision. Someone posted a pic of me online a few months ago that had...my best friends on display. To save you assholes the trouble from asking me for the link, here it is.

Posted by: Holly at June 8, 2009 08:42 AMSend the pictures to their mothers.
Posted by: Signal to Noise at June 8, 2009 08:42 AMA good idea in theory, but too harmful to be funny. And I'm referring to their mothers here -- without going into gory details, let me just say that NOBODY needs to see these.
Posted by: Holly at June 8, 2009 08:44 AMYeah, I tried to keep my Tony commentary in a chat window, rather than Twitter, in the interest of being un-spoily. However: underwhelmed. Thoughts?
Posted by: TC at June 8, 2009 08:46 AMAlso underwhelmed, in what by all accounts was a pretty great year overall. But I get prickly whenever Dolly's involved.
Posted by: Holly at June 8, 2009 08:48 AMMy mother called me three times yesterday: Twice to hear about the wedding I was in this weekend (about which I am so burnt out I don't care to talk about it anymore) and once to ask me if I was watching the Tonys. No, I was not watching the Tonys; I was paired with the gay groomsman, I would like to spend my Sunday watching something with a bit more testosterone.
Posted by: Clare at June 8, 2009 08:51 AMEmailing the pics of said jolly bits to their respective mothers would cross the line from spectacle to fiasco. Personally I like TGB's idea of having your creepy basement army unleashed on the perps. Also, I hope you dvr'd the Tonys simply for what happens to Bret Micheals after his performance.
Posted by: BurritoBrosShits at June 8, 2009 09:01 AMExactly. Although the problem with mustering the creepshow legions is talking to them in the first place. Because if you talk to them, that means you love them.
