The
Deer Hunter
There's
a guy who works directly over the cubicle opposite mine who
is a major hunter, and obviously this is his time of year.
All I hear constantly is talk about guns and weather,
camouflage, roughing it, affect of wet weather on wooden gun
parts, proper sighting techniques - you get the picture. I
am major pro-gun and pro-hunting, but this guy is one
tiresome bastard. I guess, though, that I can be the same
way, talking about Winkie all the time, or my bo-ring
job.
I
think the dude has already bagged 2 deer and is trying to
figure out ways to bag more. I hope he gets his limit and
shuts up already. On Halloween, this guy came in looking
like a fucking tree; he had tree camo on. Quite silly but
I'm not criticizing.

Lou's List:
Greatest Centers of
All-Time
-
Shaquille O'Neill -- greatest center of all-time, by far. No
one's close.
-
Akeem Olajuwon -- untouchable in his prime; carried Houston to
two championships single-handedly.
-
Patrick Ewing -- about as good as Chamberlain, but with a better
jump shot. If he played in the early sixties against a league of
6'8" slow white centers, he'd have scored 50 a game too. Was better
than Olajuwon late in their careers; dominated Mourning and Mutombo
even when they were in their prime. Only problems -- small hands,
not a great passer (neither are most centers on this list), and
Michael Jordan.
-
Wilt Chamberlain -- better than Russell. If he played with 5
hall of famers on his team, he'd have won 8 championships too. If
you rank them by how a player stood out against the competition they
played against, then Chamberlain goes to #2 on this list; if you
rank them by impact on the game, Chamberlain goes to #1.

Knick Fans and Patrick:
Losers Together, Losers Apart
Yeah you can believe that the jack off Garden Knick fans, who pay the

mid-season basketball, you can believe that these “sports fan” morons would
stand and cheer the return of the biggest franchise disappointment .. [more]

Big, Non-NBA-Champion Doofus
No one can begrudge Patrick Ewing his desire to convince the Knicks to part
with $30 million for the privilege of having Patrick lead them into the
first and perhaps even second round of the NBA playoffs. What we can
begrudge the big, non-NBA champion doofus is his continued insistence that
he has any relevance at all to the Knicks chances of winning a title.. [more] |
