    It is now time to move on and ask Barfo questions for the next two weeks. Ask what you want, but Barfo reserves the right to decline to answer any question(s).

    This time I know who the winner is and I checked to make sure Barfo is willing to answer questions.

    Darko vs. Bowie: There are multiple answers here. In terms of what was known at the time of the pick, I'd say Darko was the worst of the two. Bowie was a legitimate candidate for the #2 pick at the time. Darko was a reach. In terms of hindsight, Bowie was a worse pick, because passing on MJ is something that you should never ever do - passing on Carmelo is not nearly such a big deal. In terms of how much the picks hurt the teams, Bowie was worse - the Pistons could afford to blow that pick on a long shot. As far as careers go, it appears that Darko will have a better career than Bowie, even if that is just a long-term journeyman role.

    Pizza - anything is good, but olives are probably my #1 choice. Least favorite among normal toppings, pineapple.

    Where is everybody? Barfo needs more questions than this.

    What do you honestly see the Blazers accomplishing in the upcoming decade? What move would you immediately make as a GM?

    How fascist are you around here? I want you to compare yourself to another historical figure. ;)

    What are your thoughts on existentialism?

    Sup? :O

    Why do you think the "Bad Boys" are such underrated champs?

    Where do you rank Clyde Drexler as a player?

    Vinnie Johnson? Do you need to see the clip....

    I expect them to suffer a series of major injuries, have locker room issues, trade away the best players for overpaid has-beens, and have multiple off-court scandals. I expect Paul Allen to sell the team to someone who moves it to another city.

    But I'm a bit of a pessimist, to be honest. It could turn out slightly better than that.

    Job one is finding Kevin Pritchard's notes.

    I like to think of myself as Vlad the Impaler.

    I think Monty Python's Philosophers Song reflects my views on the subject.

    I do? Maybe because Isiah Thomas is so creepy?

    To be honest, I missed the Drexler era almost entirely, I just had other things on my mind back then.

    I'd need to see the clip.

    Music does not make you soft. Music only makes you stronger. Unless it kills you.

    A supermodel.

    It will bore me.

    I don't see many movies. Last one was Slumdog Millionaire, which I thought was great.

    I am utterly unable to remember jokes. Don't understand why.

    A model, who is super. Super-duper. Like obscenity, you know it when you see one.

    Tastes like chicken.
