    You aren't saying women are shallow (in that way), are you?






    Before anyone says it, men are all shallow. Don't bother bringing that up.

    The balloon things are handed out in the beginning of the game too.

    Anyone remember the game(s?) that the Blazers actually handed out balloons as distractions for FT shooters? instead of hearing the annoying bang of the bangers, you only heard the squeaking of balloons and a lot of wind noise.

    Oh women are totally shallow. I've never heard a man ask a chick what kind of car she drives, and then decide whether they want to date them based on the vehicle.

    Well, we are shallow for other things. However, it's not like we go up to women and ask "say, how big are your tits, and let me see your ass"


    We just look and use our imagination.

    But I totally pick up what you're dropping. Money puts a healthy sav on many things for SOME women. If you drive a boring car, you're screwed. Well, you're boned. Wait...you're shit out of luck often.

    Of course, it depends on the market you're going after. As in, bar hopping.

    I remember, seriously, having a discussion with a classmate of mine (at University) and I dropped the hint that I would not be opposed at being a stay at home dad, esp if it meant I could do wood working or creative stuff in the 3 minutes a day I'd have for free time. And she basically looked at me as if I had said "I have a 2 inch penis, I'll never make any money and I appreciate it when you emasculate me in public. Oh and I'll never defend your honor, or treat you with respect".

    then she basically said that to me. "I could never date a guy who would do that. That is not the way I want my man to be.

    She went from being incredibly cute, to quite ugly in a matter of seconds then. Not that I wanted to be a stay at home dad, but she basically said that any guy who decided to do that was a spineless pussy who should never get a girlfriend and has no self confidence. Funny thing is, she married a guy who was a complete dip-shit, and treated her like crap. But he didn't stay at home and take care of the kids, that's for sure! Of course, he also didn't take much time taking care of their kids period...but positive thoughts folks! He wasn't a stay at home dad!

    So theres always that.

    If you don't like that, you don't like NBA basketball!

    Obviously Los Angeles is the worst of the worst, but when I was living down there I was present for a lot of very unsavory behavior by the both sexes. On one occasion I was in a club (Le Deux) and I heard a woman (very loudly) say to someone "I don't THINK so.... I don't need a boy, I need a man." I turned around and the guy didn't look much older than me at the time (25), and I couldn't believe how rude the woman had been. Of course, the club scene down there is a completely different animal. People don't go to clubs to dance or have fun, they go to talk business and/or meet gold diggers/rich guys. I pretty much knew I had no shot at getting laid down there because I was broke and I was driving a Jeep Wrangler.

    Bump. Just curious, I don't get to a ton of games in Portland. Who's still around from the Superfans?


    What happened to the old guy (not really old, just bald) who always had the Oden jersey and danced?

    I saw the dancing lady last few games I was at and she gets a mild reaction.

    Free Throw Guy moved to LA.

    Darth Blazer?

    I was talking with Wheels and the Dancing Lady last week at the Season Ticket Holders event I went to with Lanny. They were the ones who told me that Bruce had passed. That's all I know.

    I chatted with a Bruce a few times. His exit was right by my seat, so at the end of certain games, he'd come up and stand in front where the handicapped seating is, right in front of me. I've seen FTG a few times this year, and the Dancing Lady I see usually each game on the big screen. I liked her performance at the last halftime show.
