I like the song.

Is this o.k., or should I just give it up and go buy a bunch of Simon & Garfunkle on vinyl and get a used VW bus with bumpers stickers that include "Visualize World Peace" and "It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the air force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber." I'm fine with whatever you decide.
Just give it up. I have a "Greatest Hits" disc you can borrow; picked it up at Sbx.

As for bumpers stickers for the Peace Van, I would go with "Visualize Whirled Pea." Cause you're all ironic and shit.

Thoughts?
I have thoughts. Billups is fucking killing us. If I see him jack up one more contested 3-pointer with 20 seconds left on the shot clock, I'm going to kick him in the knee my damn self. "Mr. Big Shot" was the worst possible nickname to give him. "Mr. Game Manager" would have worked much better since the dude actually now thinks of himself as someone who needs to force big shots.

'Melo was off Sunday night and I knew it would be a problem when he drove twice and got fouled/his shot blocked with no call. Turned him into a jump shooter. No excuses. He had some good looks and didn't knock them down. I think Boston will be worried about Amare. O'Neal and Garnett can guard him together, but KG has no shot at stopping him straight up.

Did you see us playing all that defense? I can't get over that. The strategy of allowing Rondo to take as many jumpers as he wants while we pack the paint is brilliant.

And I still like our chances.

The one I recommend is one I saw long ago:

"Mean people suck.
Nice people swallow."

Not really. I saw a woman walking down the street in NY dressed like that last week.

Or at home before my kids go to bed, for that matter.

I appreciate TM's devotion to making it difficult for me to read the FB at work.

Anyone gives you shit tell them you're considering sexual reassignment surgery and are window shopping for your new look.

Disclaimer: I do not imply that there is anything wrong with such, nor that you are considering such surgery, nor that there would be something wrong if you were. I merely offer advice a's to how to cover up the ogling you are doing.

I'm thinking of opening a regional office in Portland. Does the acropolis have a frequent diners card?

We should visit together, and enquire. And then to a more personable establishment. I forget; are you okay with nekkid, but heavily tatted and pierced, strippers in your lap?

And we can hit a Timbers game. But don't mention the Seattle thing. 'Cause we fuckin' hate the Sounders.
