First, I want to say thank you to everyone who offered their condolences yesterday. Now that I’ve calmed down and realized it could have been much worse – my PS3 (48 hrs old!), the Dinette’s jewelry and laptop, TV’s – I’m ready to buy a new laptop (insurance deductible is too high to claim) and move on. But, dear DiNation, I ask you to keep your eyes peeled at Starbucks, the library, on the subway – if you see a white MacBook, immediately apprehend the suspect and drop me a line. Especially if they have that ‘look’. You know, that guilty ‘look’ that criminals and NBA referees have. It may or may not be mine but in the fight against crime, there’s always going to be some collateral damage.
Second, I want to apologize profusely for not taking pictures of the brainless beauties sitting behind me at Wednesday’s game. In all truth my lens would have melted anyway, all five were such sultry specimens. But because I feel as though I’ve left you (esp. RapsFan) hanging, I offer this* to make nice.
*NSFW, unless you work at home or in the porn industry.
Seeing as how I have to spend the weekend recalculating my business finances for the past 2 years (really the only thing I didn’t have backed up…smart, I know), posting might be light until Monday. I’ll get something up tomorrow about tonight’s game, but that’s probably it.
Remember when we played Indy Monday and there wasn’t much to say about them then? Well, over the past week a man wanted for MURDER was found and arrested at Shawne Willams’ house. Murder Death Kill is still frowned upon in Indiana, which just goes to show you how square that state is. Live a little, overweight WASPY Midwesterners!
BTW, now that a woman was raped at Marquis Daniels’ home and a murdered found at Williams’ house mere days apart, you can no longer say that Jamal Tinsley has all the fun. I don’t get for the life of me how Deiner, Dunleavy, and Murphy survive in that locker room.
We’re going for four in a row, which is worth mentioning despite the fact that they are all wins against teams who put the B in BBBBBBBBBAD. Travis Diener better tape his ankles up double-tight, that’s all I gotta say… unless you’ve got my laptop – then I say, “Give it back!”
Instead of talking about the game, let’s talk about this USA Today poll that crowns Half-Man, Half-Manicotti Vince Carter the all-time “Best Raptor”. I was shocked by this article: I didn’t think the USA Today was aware Toronto had a franchise.I hate Vince Carter more than mayonnaise and “The Hills” combined, but I can’t really argue with their choice. If the poll was taken next year, Bosh might be on top…but El Douche Maximus did have a great run here and, as Leo said, put Toronto on the map.
It’s high time we did something to commemorate everything Vince has meant to Toronto Basketball. I’m thinking a statue outside the ACC of him limping off the court, made of Jello*. Thoughts?
*Or pigeon shit. I’m easy.
