When the shoe hits your eye, because you don’t play D on this guy. . .

That’s Amare

When Manu takes it to the rack ’cause your defense is whack. .

That’s Amare

Although I try to keep work-related info off this site, I’ve been asked more than a few times what the company where I work does or makes (mostly by my family). So I thought I’d add a quick survey link. Feel free to take it. I’ll add another one later that’s a bit more thorough, but for now, feel free to play. . .

I’ll make the results public for that survey. That one’s just a lame template I dropped down and added. . .

Manu Manu Manu, Man you are going to give me a heart attack. I always forget that being a Spurs fan is hard during the playoffs. I think they can close out the series but at the expense of my health.

One of my friends in SA wrote me and said he saw a funny bumpersticker for SA that was a takeoff on the Keep Austin Weird bumperstickers. The one David saw read “Keep San Antonio Lame”. Ouch.

Read this on the plane back from Texas the other week. Great article from Pete Wells in FOOD & WINE about a mixologist named Audrey who’s opening a new place in NY soon. I like her style. I’d like to think she’d call a lot of vodka drinks “savage”™

This, for example, is how he leads into the recipe for the Maharajah’s Burra-Peg: “This particular Champagne affair was broken out on the eve of our departure alone across India, after a month with Spofford in his big Calcutta bungalow show in the fashionable Ballygunge section down Chowringhee, beyond Lower Circular Road.” It helps a little if you read this in the shade of your veranda while gazing at distant Kilimanjaro, but you get the idea.

Screw you, Ray Allen. Bowen just plays good D. We’ve all seen the tape on ESPN of your ankle turning, and Bowen wasn’t near you. As Bowen’s said- Jordan didn’t complain about Starks’s defense.

”I don’t compare (Bowen) to anybody because he is the only guy I know that doesn’t play basketball,” Allen said then. ”He’s out there playing some other sport. I don’t know what you call it. … He doesn’t play basketball. I don’t know what he does. They put him out there to throw punches and throw elbows. That is not basketball out there, what he plays.”



To which Bowen retorted, ”I don’t really know what to say to that. … I’ve never heard the great ones say anything like that. You never heard Michael Jordan say, ‘Oh, John Starks doesn’t play basketball.’ John Starks may have been physical with (Jordan), but what did he do? He went and hit the gym hard and continued to play.”

And I just saw this via google news:

SAN ANTONIO — Watching on TV Game 1 of the Spurs-Sonics tiff, Rick Adelman must have wondered who the dainties were in green. more

Shit Sandwich

And no, Kate Beckinsale does not get naked. (But she does look damn good) Oh, Josie Maran doesn’t get naked either.

So, today’s my last day at CollabNet. I start my new job soon. Packing up the desk of my own volition is much nicer than when I had to pack up do to layoffs Reduction In Force (RIF).

Stealing a link from Patrick’s blog led me to see what I’d look like as a SP character. Make your own here.

Re- game 3: Why didn’t Buckner get a flagrant and/or suspension? He wasn’t making a play on the ball.

“I just got tired of seeing him get to the hole,” Anthony said.

“He was getting to the hole too easy. I wish I could have done it earlier in the game instead of later on. It wasn’t anything personal, it was just a hard foul.”

But as infuriating as Ginobili has been, even the Nuggets see the beauty in his ugliness.

“I respect his game, I respect what he can do out there,” Anthony said. “I love watching him play, but I don’t love watching him play now because we’re playing against him.”
