Dave is officially MAD--Dave's 5th try (hope there's no Isiah fans out there)

by prezofdeath on Apr 16, 2008 11:15 AM PDT

UPDATE (11:45 am Friday, April 19, 2008):
Ehh what can I say? Dave went there, so he asked for this:

UPDATE (5:32 pm Thursday, April 18, 2008):

Ahhh Dave is still in the Western Conference (not sure if that is good or bad), and has now gone with the Minnesota T-Wolves. While we wait to see what's going to happen next in the ongoing demise of our once-lofty-now-lowly leader, feel free to predict what would happen in the event of MMA--Mascot Martial Arts! The Wizards, Kings, and T-Wolves have their respective mascots, and since the Lakers have no official mascot, I chose what I thought to be a fitting stand-in mascot: the Lakers' most loyal fan.
Dave flipping sides faster than presidential candidates, mascot mayhem...who's going to kick the bucket first?

UPDATE (6:48am Thursday, April 17, 2008):
He's at it again! And this time Dave's up to three strikes...is he out for good, or is there still hope for our once fearless, noble leader? So far we've seen L*kers, Wizards, and Kings...any fortune tellers want to look into the crystal ball and predict what happens next?

UPDATE (7:00pm Wednesday, April 16, 2008):
Better, not quite there yet. WIll Dave fix this flabbergastingly freaky flubber, or will he swing and miss again? For now, the count is still 0-2 at this Portland Trailblazer Major League Baseball blog.

Original post (11:15am Wednesday, April 16, 2008):

Which is worse...Isaiah Thomas or Dave?

I mean, at least Isaiah pretends to care about the Knicks...I think the time has come to unite under one banner and chant in unison....Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave! Fire Dave!

Must....contain.....rage......

Somewhere in Idaho there is a K*be jersey buried deep in one mans closet, waiting to burst out.

Isn’t there Dave?

Well if the Yankees can bulldoze their stadium

to get the Red Sox Jersey out, should we do the same to Dave’s closet and/or house?

Just a thought

Dave?

What would your congregation think?

After all, if you take the numbers on Kobe’s jersey (24) and add them together, you get 6. Kobe’s won three rings, so three sixes is…

666!

Kobe Bryant is the anticrhist!

But we knew that already, and didn’t need any silly numerological arguments to prove it. :)

by EngineerScotty on Apr 16, 2008 12:02 PM PDT 0 recs

HaHA! YES!

Now that we have the new platform I can finally admit it. I am a Laker fan! I have been one all along! Kareem is the greatest center ever! Kobe is dreamy! I HEART SHAQUILLE O’NEAL! This whole blog was an attempt to bring you down from the inside!

There, I have said it! You don’t like it? My pic is right there. I’m a little older now, with a little less hair, but I basically look the same. I’m going to be hanging around Portland for the next few weeks. Find me and smack me upside the head! I dare you! Make sure it’s a surprise, though. You wouldn’t want me to see you coming and defend myself.

GO LAKERS!

No.

You may not.

True.

Salaries don´t match, we should add Roy, LMA and some more garbage.

I remember seeing this photo often.

Isn’t it from that Classmates® ad that ran forever?

"A certain critic—for such men, I regret to say, do exist—made the nasty remark about my last novel that it contained ‘all the old Wodehouse characters under different names’. He has probably now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha: but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have outgeneralled this man by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters under the same names. Pretty silly it will make him feel, I rather fancy." - P.G.

The site conversation rules at the bottom of the page where no one will look is probably not the best placement. But that is my humble opinion.

I really wish I could

but the top slots in the sidebar are network locked and mandated. I wish these diar…uhhh…fanposts were at the top of the right sidebar too, but that’s not my call.

he has a dart board he uses to select his favorite. Naturally, any dart would strike the L*kers first.

It was Liberace

Your right, when it was small I didn’t know if it was a vagina (Can I say that?) or a woman flashing. I know it wasn’t either, since it was Dave’s avatar, it just looked that way all tiny like.
