    The only reason I can think of for Sly typing the thread title in all caps is that this is the most exciting news he's read all month. He leads a boring life.

    Darkwebs "Liked" Sly's post. Okay Darky, you know what this means. Even when the Santa Cruz game is on simultaneously with a Blazer game, you'll give it a beautiful original post the night before, and I'll watch both games on the same screen, and be the only one posting to the Santa Cruz game. Except that a couple of guys like Homer and Riverman might make token posts. Just like with Crabbe.

    That's the problem nowadays, people not taking responsibility for their own actions. He did it, so I did it! Waaah!

    Back in my day, we punched out anyone who copied something in all caps.

    We don't talk about our pay in front of the newer posters. Ignore him, newer posters.

    I look forward to your one man show. You are the play by play guy and the color guy all wrapped into one palatable package.

    This is good news, but I'm wondering why it didn't happen sooner.

    I've been praising your music since the ESPN days. It's like 60s psychedelic music, only improved. If I hadn't gone through 4 computers getting fried since you and I were on ESPN, I'd still have your old album that I loved. It's still on a backup drive, but I don't know how to load a backup drive with 120 gb of Windows XP stuff onto my current drive of Windows 8.1.

    As for my play-by-play, my basketball IQ is too low to analyze plays, so I describe them like a basketball newbie would. So that I can type fast enough, I only describe plays involving the NBA send-down players, since they're the ones we're evaluating, the only reason we're watching.

    Darkwebs gives threads that special dark allure that only he can. I bet he wears a tight little red miniskirt.

    Thanks. I'll have to see if some of the old music still exists somewhere. If I can find it I'll send you a link or something. Can't wait to move back to portland and start on something new. I have some goodies stored inside of my brain.
