    Urologist: What's the problem?

    Atlanta Hawks Mascot: Watch the video. It should explain the discoloration and pain!

    Hadn't heard this before, thanks for sharing.

    Also, saying all of anybody anything is silly. That's why you don't clump groups of people together based on the majority opinion.

    I always just made them up as I went. But yeah, vanilla icecream, milk, fresh watermelon, an egg, and malted milk if you got it. Blend that mother up.

    That almost sounds...disgusting... Then again sometimes things that sound nasty are really the best.

    To each their own. It is surprisingly delicious. If you ever find yourself with extra watermelon, have vanilla icecream, milk, and a blender, do yourself a favor.

    Well, it is a pretty dumb stereotype. In fact, it's so absurd it's like a stereotype of a stereotype.

    If anything, under those circumstances it seems the person would be more likely to end up hating them.

    I never said marketers were geniuses... I would guess a lot of it goes toward arena merchandising and community outreach, not the commercials themselves.

    Is this the worst (most boring?) first round of the playoffs that you can remember?

    Happens a few times where most the first round series suck; although I don't remember so many blowouts.

    The Dallas/OKC Game 2 was exciting. A couple of decent games in the East.
    But aside from that yes, the first round has been pretty bad. Shows there is a real gap between top teams and lower teams East and West.
    Seriously, 68 points?

    Pearl Washington died. The media used to ridicule him, as they did a lot of Nets. He was a college star, but couldn't hack the NBA. He seemed too gentle for it, intimidated by it. He's one of many reasons that I think that Syracuse players usually don't pan out. I haven't read these articles yet. I will in a few minutes.

    It's amazing how much better that team is after getting rid of Kahn.

    Not just Kahn, but let's not forget how much they've sucked since KG left. Haven't made the playoffs since 2004. They've gotten out of the first round once since their birth in 1989.
