    Why don't we add some flubber to his shoes while were at it.

    Whoa! So you have an irradiated achilles?!? Do you have any superpowers, because Spider-Man got powers from an irradiated spider bite.

    Umm ... I've got early onset, osteo-arthritis in my knee now. Does that count as a "super power?" It also makes a nice grinding and popping sound from the build-up of scar tissue, but I chalk that up to a "neat-o power" not quite "super."

    It appears your brain is outside your skull. That seems like somewhat of a super weakness rather than a superpower, but maybe I am misunderstanding. Or are those intestines? The ability to wear intestines on your head could be a superpower.

    I've been told my head is misplaced; stuck somewhere south of my waist and north of my knees ...

    That Picasso cubist vision comes from peering out at the world through the beelike multi-prism of your bulging, yellowed cadaver eyeballs.

    It's morning and the light is coming out. Why don't you just crawl back into your crypt?

    The other take away I got from this article is that Eggers still runs circles around the beat writers at the Oregonian.

    Exactly right. Roy is just about done as a player, so what does he have to lose by getting a transplant?

    Man, I still can't believe this is happening. I thought Roy's star was going to keep rising and he was going to be a bonafide Superstar some day. Just goes to show that nothing is guaranteed in life.

    Actually read the link and found something pretty interesting

    I'll definitely be checking on him down the road.

    I like how he isn't playing HS ball because of the competition, so he is playing at the YMCA. Why not move him to a different school. Or, since I know an education is obviously important, just have him play anyways, and work on different skills with an opportunity to. Like, say, trying to work on ball handling and play PG or something.

    It isn't obvious? Clyde wasn't a top end student. Just like Barkely he got to go to school because he did his job on the court. He probably isn't going to a different school or playing on the high end teams because he can't get past the grade requirements.
