It’s been a little while, but we decided to restart What’s That You Say?, our roundup of the best, funniest, and most interesting comments for the previous week. It’s also a good chance for those of you who haven’t signed up for our profile system to check out how useful they can be — click through the names of any registered commenter mentioned here to see what else that person has been saying lately.
Read on for vacant property complaints, naming the new baseball stadium, non sequiturs, and more.

This dude needs to hang out with Bill O’Reilly. The two of them can spend hours being astonished at how black people behave.
