    I just don’t get dark chocolate. Maybe that comes later in life.

    I said I am afraid. Follow the logic. The answer is in the original post.

    I would leave it be unless it's clear that there is malicious intent. There should be room for good natured ribbing, IMO, even if it looks like insults.

    Get with it, rookie!

    For taste maybe. But Dark Chocolate is MUCH better for your health.

    Just to be clear, I meant my criticism of the HCP in a basketball context. I’m pretty sure that in comparison to Ed Davis, the HCP, and everyone else on this board, would be considered a shitty big man.

    Well then, that makes perfect sense. Although I bet that with his low center of gravity, HCP would be able to back Ed down in the post.

    Hmm. Good point. Using the domino theory, even HCP could have a huge “impact” on the game.

    You know what's crazy about that? Compared to many of the guys he goes against on a nightly basis, Ed often looks undersized. Kind of puts things in perspective.

    Reminds me of the time I was standing next to Kevin Duckworth and Rik Smits walked by. I'm taller than average (6'4"). Most people I work with and encounter on a daily basis consider me tall, but I looked (and felt) short next to Duck. And Duck looked short next to Smits.

    That's pretty epic. Science and math is a MF.

    Cool video, but I'm not sure if it applies to the @HCP analogy. In that video, each successive domino is twice as tall as the previous one. In HCP's case, each successive domino would need to be twice as wide.

    No joke. At 6'10" and with that physique, Ed looks like he could be an epic wide receiver.
