Is it me? Do my pits smell? Where is everybody?

I just rolled in. It's seriously dying in here. It just took me all of ten minutes to catch up when I wasn't on all of yesterday. 

I'm hoping I'll be a more productive member of board society next week when I'm stuck at a computer all day again.

I hate to be the one to have to tell you this, but yes.  Your pits smell as if they have been sprinkled with water from the bog of eternal stench.

The Finger Lakes?

The slowness has caused me to look at some of yesterday's posts and I am cracking my shizz up all over again at "brownest of the broooooooowns!" and poor Mr. Buttray:

I was just catching up on Bills Simmons. These Cleveland fans are insane. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/100709

Explain to me why I should care about sports when the savior of my city turns out to be a false prophet.

How does someone recover from this? My father will be dead before a Cleveland team wins a title.

i've been trapped in a testing room all week running an 8 am-4:30 pm study with nothing longer than a 15 minute break. it is 76 degrees in this room and my only companions are mice. my pits actually probably do stink.

Up until yesterday, I had thought that Lebron James was a former Blazer.  Sports are very important to me.

i have been dealing with a very fussy and poopy baby.

Man, that Lebron stuff is driving me nuts. Hey Cleveland, newsflash: He didn't win you sh*t  in the years he was there.So..if you don't win sh*t after he leaves, you're in no worse situation really.

I have generally liked Lebron, but his big media circus, hour long announcement special BS really rubbed me wrong. There are a ton of guys in the NBA who have won a title, you are not one of them. Yet none of them are having television specials to announce where they will be playing next. Come back down to earth.

I haven't been that busy this week, but I just have nothing to contribute.  I tried with the not-a-perv FB post yesterday, but fark, I am boring myself to tears here.

On the plus side, I have been more productive at work today then I have been for a week.

Ispent many monies at Target. They are clearancing out tons of toys.

Exactly. He hasn't done jack crap. Until he does, everybody needs to just shut up. Plus, I'm irritated because the Heat drafted my favorite college player. I was all set to be a Heat fan because I love him. Now, I will just look like a poser bandwagon fan.

I have more distaste for Dan Gilbert than I do for LeBron.

Oh no doubt, Jens. I found this pretty interesting:

 

A few weeks after the 2008 Summer Olympics, Someone Who Knows Things told me the following rumor: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Chris Paul became such good friends during the 2007 Olympic trials, and then during their 2008 Olympics excursion in Beijing, that they actually made a pact in China to play together. You know, like one of those pacts in a chick flick where two friends agree to get married if both of them are single when they turn 40.

Really? I thought the letter was funny. Comic Sans and all.

CaliopeSpidrman

I skimmed that letter and started reading the comments.  Most of them are boring, but this one is cracking my shizz up:
I'm trying to figure out where I've had a feeling like this before. Then I remembered: This reminds me of Hulk Hogan at the moment he drops the big boot on the Macho Man Randy Savage to team with the Outsiders (Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) and essentially form the nWo. These are the only two times when I have said to myself "No! Why are you doing this! Evil! Evil! EVILLLL!"

The ESPN ombudsman took ESPN behind the woodshed for "The Decision" in his latest message.   Worth a read.

I thought it was very unprofessional.  Actually, the huge emtional responses that came from nearly everyone involved were ridiculous to me.

That makes me "HA!" and "Hmm" at the same time. If he did already know where he was going, that makes his big to-do over the "big decision" so much worse. 

Buddha, that sucks man. I don't care too much because I don't watch a ton of NBA. Heith is a college basketball maniac, so we mostly watch that.
