  • Cal, you are still pissed and arguing with people on the internet who don't even post here anymore. Logic

    ah, the old liberal "you are angry".... nah. I don't get angry, I get comedic, at least to me. I'm a whole lot Tim Conway

    or Red Skelton, and rarely ever Don Rickles. I get even....


    Like one time, in high school (no, not "band camp")... I was never allowed to play sports - had a bad knee

    since I was a kid...so, I went and played intramural basketball my senior year - didn't have to have permission hahaaha.

    . When you aren't allowed to play,

    you get a lot of time practicing your shooting. And I was making nearly every shot I took.

    So, this tall, gangly, stupid, hood kind of kid, was always guarding me, and tried to rough me up to

    take me out of my game. I got elbowed in the eye, the neck, knocked to the floor, tripped, nearly kneed

    in the groin... which would have happened on one of my jump shots, except I faked him out and passed

    the ball to our center for an easy layup.

    WELL, after the near miss on my groin, one of the "refs" mentioned that he almost got me in my groin. I kept making most of my foul shots. Well, the next trip down the floor, I received a pass and just as I passed

    it to our center again, the stupid gangly kid knocked me to the floor on a run at me from behind.

    That was it. I was walking toward him asking him what was wrong with him, some guys and refs move in

    to break up anything.....and he's trying to goad

    me into coming after him and fighting. I just pointed at him, and said "okay. okay" and walked away.

    And called timeout. I told my team to get the ball back to me and let me take care of something just once...

    so they did.

    I'm about the 3 point line, and everybody is waiting for the rebound if I miss. I start walking towards the basket,

    slowly, looking for just the perfect angle to the basket for my shot... and the other team tells stupid roughneck kid

    that he's supposed to be guarding me. So, he ran at me, I pump fake, and go up to shoot - he goes way up in the air,

    but I never left the ground. I went back down in a set position, and when he came flying down to crash into me, I took

    the basketball and "shot" it into his midsection as hard as I could. There was this loud, really ugly scream or something like it..

    That was the end of that. He missed two days of school. I lowered my shoulder and he whomped to the floor.

    Nobody ever came after me again. And, he fouled me, so I made both my foul shots.

    The next game, another big guy went up and slapped my hook shot back into my face - what a stupid move on my part -

    and he was apologizing. I just grinned and said it was all on me, and we were fine. I don't get angry. I just make

    my foul shots... ๐Ÿ˜Ž


    oh, and the next game, I only made three baskets - kept making assists..missed a few....after about...10 minutes or so, I tore up my knee going after a loose

    ball, and that was that. My surgeon was pretty mad, and had to drain my knee - twice.

    the next day, I was at school, on crutches, and got sent to the office.

    Apparently, my surgeon called them and very pointedly told them I had better never be allowed to play contact

    sports again. They were pissed. So, that ruined my chance at the NBA draft. LOL

    Your thinking this post is somehow indictive of politics is fucking comedy. I give less than a shit about liberals, conservatives, Obama or the geo-political landscape of this country. I don't see any serious opinions, discussion or rational debate from any of you ladies.

    It's a fucking 4-5man circle jerk over here where nobody conveys anything remotely new. Just the same 3 or so topics rehashed with the usual suspects providing their already boring and overly used rhetoric.

    You guys have serious issues. The fact you see these threads spawned at such a rate coupled with why you get almost guaranteed responses from your opposition is akin to watching monkeys throw shit at each other.

    I'm enjoying the clown show. Nothing more.

    You mean the clown show over in the football forum where it's akin to monkeys throwing shit at each other over a meaningless game?

    Get off your high horse dude.

    Just in reading the original post I was wondering if going through a page of posts and counting who responded to what would be something a retired person might do to fritter away his hours.

    Nah, university is out for the summer, so I just had the extra free time.

    ...Cal is a good man and puts a lot of effort into keeping this place alive.

    Well, that's one way of looking at it, I guess...

  • There were two more areas I wanted to take a deeper dive.

    1) Buzzwords in the thread title (Obamao, liberal, etc)

    2) OP source (Blaze, etc)

    I'm sure you can find a tool to do that for you.

    why merge? Does this offend your sense of order? Who gives a flying fuck?
