    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yes.

    No.

    Accounting error. My "employer" continues to pay me, even though I quit months ago.

    Hello, my name is Greg Oden.

    That's just it--because Pritchard doesn't make him do any light exercising on small weights, Oden will return to us at the zero point, timid about using his leg. Since the impetus to work is not coming from within Oden, it must come from outside him, from authority. We are several months after the surgery and there is no progress because there is no effort, from either Oden or his boss Pritchard. Yet people post here that he's too sensitive to do any work. He'll come back the same as last season--out of shape, out of breath, and get injured again from trying to suddenly work again. You have to start months in advance, and Pritchard doesn't seem to know this.

    He showed up an hour late to his previous interview, too. All he has to do is call in to the radio show, since he's not there in person.

    I knew all along you were getting paid. You can count on me not to tell Denny, but I can't vouch for anyone else.

    OMG, It's Dr. Cox.

    How the fuck did I never realize this before? I've been watching Scrubs for years, and have seen Office Space tons of times.

    Whoa.

    Don't feel to bad I didn't notice it tell about three years ago when I was watching office space on TnT. Office space is one of my favorite movies and Scrubs is one of my favorite shows, so its safe to say I felt retarded when it dawned on me lol.

    Great movie. That is, in fact, what inspired my answer.

    It's not unusual. If you've ever had a major knee injury, the last thing that returns is trust in the joint.

    On the flip side, NBA, you've been warned:

    He's not hopping; he's stepping up with one leg and then bringing the other up to the same step.

    OT - Joel is in town. I saw him the other day. He was walking OK, but he must of had a brace on his knee because he was keeping his leg straight while walking, not bending the knee.

    B-Edge forgot to ask Greg quite possible the most important question that's on everybody's mind:

    "HOW ARE THE DREADS COMING ALONG?"

    At first I was worried that Oden is still iffy on his knee.

    It's been five months and it seems he's right on schedule.
