    What I don't get is, why take someone through the event (misery?) of watching the Blazers play courtside, only to then say goodbye to them - and the world - for evermore?

    Just seems a bit of cruel paradox to me. I don't know.

    Anyhoo................

    I hope they find tickets though. Never knew about the whole not being allowed to see your family. That sucks.

    I just read that and realized I graduated from Benson in the same class as the guy that is becoming the monk. He was in all of my honors classes with me. Really nice guy. Hopefully someone will step up and help them out with tickets.

    I remember hearing about that on 95.5, the man taking his brother called in about tickets. If I had some to give away, I'd do it.

    If I had some gift certificate for a shrink- I'd give them to the brother. Not being able to speak to your family ever again? What a kook. Who would do that voluntarily? Not to mention not being able to catch the Oden-nation dynasty!!

    Maybe someone should have him listen to this song.

    That's explains a lot, that he went to Benson. If he had gone to Grant, he would have hooked up with a lot of hot chicks and would not have to become a Monk in the first place.

    Also, I just checked and they have the LeaguePass in India!

    This is a very odd story. Since when do monks have bachelor parties?
    One last blowout before starting to do what he believes in? Something ain't right about that.

    Exactly. As I had mentioned, it seemed paradoxical (to say the least) to me.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I like the Bananarama version more, but probably because it's the one I've heard more. It's a great pop tune, IMO.
