On a serious tip, he straight brings it every night! Flat out makes this place better. Funny, charming, knowledgeable, are just a few words that describe him. One thing, I had a chance to meet him once and he was a complete prick! Oh well!
Well I was hoping to meet him someday.....get an autograph.......maybe a picture, but if he is a prick in person, I wouldn't want to become disillusioned with his apparent greatness so I won't seek him out.
I heard from someone that was on the plane with him that for him, it was a big deal since he recongnized "THE", but for everyone else on the plane, he was the whiny annoying gay guy in the back.
Nah, it's nothing that simple (or logical). My original screen name on the old ESPN Blazers board was TraderBoob - my backhanded "homage" to Trader Bob Whitsitt and the mess he created near the end of his tenure as Blazers GM. When I moved to the BBF forum in April 2006, Whitsitt was long gone, most of the mess he created was either gone, or would be soon. So I changed my screen name to Boob-No-More. I almost changed it again when I migrated to S2, but was too lazy to think of something clever like "THE" Boob. So, I just left it as Boob-No-More, which is the name the BBF refugees know me by. BNM
You are taking things to seriously buddy. Maybe for the next migration you can change your screen name to 45Thrilla!
I do appreciate John, for his humor and insight he provides (occasionally) and the fact he can laugh at himself and doesn't take himself too seriously.
