    The picture with LaMarcus leaning over and those tiny little kids on the computers is cute as hell. :)

    It's cool LaMarcus likes working with kids. I was never in favor of running guys out of town during the Oregonian witch hunts, but I love the personality types KP went after for this team compared to guys like Isaiah Rider, Ruben Patterson, and Zach Randolph.

    Yeah, we have seen him mature right before our eyes. When he was drafted you saw the potential, now we are realizing the fruits of the harvest.

    Awesome links.

    Man, it's amazing how much muscle he's put on that frame over the past couple years, and he hasn't really lost any of his speed.

    After watching him basically tread water his first three years in the game, I figured he was always going to be an 18/8 type of guy. What he's done this year is just incredible.

    Btw--I have no clue why web developers think it's easier to watch a lot of pictures in that slideshow kind of format. It's so much easier and more natural just to scroll like on this forum.

    Is it just me, or does that look like a custom table and chairs? They look much taller than usual.

    Those high dining room tables with the bar height chairs are pretty popular at the moment, and make a lot of sense for someone his height.

    Mrs. FromWA--a designer by trade-- tells me that tables can come in (at least) three heights..."normal", "counter" height and "bar" height. Many people are familiar with the bar/bistro tables, but I guess there's a niche for tables that are the same height as kitchen islands/counters so you don't need a second or third set of chairs. :dunno:

    Thanks to all the folks who know much more about interior design than do I.

    I would have had to break my arm trying to do that. Then I realized he's standing almost sideways to the camera.

    Go Seagoville!
