Thats my playground! Is that Randolph checking it out on the far side? Curious though. Why the hell would they be on the east side?
Yeah, I spent some time working over there. Too much time. I feel lucky I didn't get shot.... Lol I think it's McMillan
We'd see him about once a week cruising through. Every time we had to watch him take the corner, half expecting something to break, and cause a massive pile up.... That thing was WAY in the air....
I remember the game Kersey (miss him!) dove for a loose ball, skidded across the floor, crashed into Paul Allen's legs. Paul Allen's popcorn flew everywhere. Rice said, well, there goes Jerome's raise!
A few years ago I was at a coworker's 21st birthday party at a strip club on Powell. We were all having fun, drinking and smoking on that back patio for the most part. Eventually we wandered into the main building and had various members of our party at the rack, the bar, at a table, or intermingling with the crowd. We ended up running into Channing Frye and a group of his friends. It got wilder and wilder as the time passed and more alcohol was consumed. The birthday boy (Sammy Cain) was getting pretty sloshed by then, as is expected. One of Frye's friends took a stripper into a private room for a lap dance (it only had a curtain separating it from the rest of the room). So Sammy (rest in peace) in his drunken birthday madness takes his shirt off, opens up the curtain and starts dancing and grinding on the guy and the stripper in the private room. He was a wild kid, and we kind of knew something like that might happen. Frye saw this and and walked up to where this was happening right in front of us and said, "Sammy, why you grinding on this private shit? What the fuck you doing Nigga?" Sammy was mentally destroyed at this time, looked up and asked Channing if he wants to come and hang out at his apartment and if he had any bitches he could send his way (these are their words and not mine). Our entire group got kicked out, needless to say. It was fun while it lasted.
This is Ducks related, so a bit off-topic, but it was funny. I was working at Elephants delicatessen as the cheese monger, but it was really busy at the register, so I left my area to go back up the register and help out. I had a conversation with a customer about Full House and we ended up singing the Full House theme song. The next person in line came to the register and it was Joey fucking Harrington. He joined in. It was really inappropriate that I was singing out loud in that place in the first place (the company likes to keep things stuffy), so Joey starts singing it with me. As we are singing a dumb theme song from a 90's sitcom together, my boss walks by and gives me the stink eye, but as we ended singing the theme song with the dumb "ba da da dop da dop scat thing" the entire crowd in the place cheered and clapped. My boss gave me a subtle smile. Of course, I was fired about 2 weeks later for not being the "right fit" for the company going forward.
I got into an elevator at the Rose garden once and Jim Paxon asked me what floor I wanted. I'm still kicking myself for not saying number 4.
