Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

(OT) In Honor of TominHawaii

Well, our third round is done for, and Ann the Fan has proclaimed the winners.So, as usual, it is time to update the scoreboard. Who will win the redundant title of "Unofficial Blazer's Edge Masked Persona?" Official rules can be found here.

Point totals as of Thursday morning

AnntheFan - 4 points

92wastheyear - 3 points

JTDuck22 - 3 points

Bfan - 3 points

Jksnake99 - 2 points

Section323 - 2 points

TominHawaii - 1 point

Everyone is still within striking distance, so it should be fun down the stretch. In other Impersonation Contest news, JTDuck22 nominated a one T Darkstar in Lizzy's contest, and the nomination received enough recommendations to qualify, so Saturday, I will post in honor of, well, myself.

But up today is Tom Selleck. It is your job to do your best impersonation of our very own TominHawaii by answering this question: "How well will Greg Oden do next season?" And tomorrow morning, or whatever time it is in Hawaii, Tom will make up his mind, and the judgment will be pronounced. Good luck to all!

I'm sure Ann and Tom would both appreciate that.

If there are no objections, and if you can get that post of yours turned green by tomorrow morning through recommendations, I’l consider it an official rule change by the participants.

OT (cause why would I answer your question)

So yesterday while I was writing a letter to a 16 year old girl from the mainland, I got really hungry. I decided to walk down to the ABC store near my apartment to get some chocolate covered macadamia nuts. I got the nuts and something to drink then joined the checkout line. The man behind me said he thought my mullet was weird, so I told him that I really liked his comb over. I got to the front of the line and paid for the junk I bought then left the store. When I got home Carlos greeted me with a meow which caused my dog to jump up and chase the cat. They looked like they were having fun so I chased the dog. The three of us ran around until eight o’ clock when I went to watch American Idol. I watched AI then went to work. I would conclude my story but I don’t feel like it.

So on topic I went OT

Predicting before a player has played an NBA game is ever so hard. Harder than predicting AI. I am a little worried about the TIH stat, as everyone knows that 52 will be a liability in 2008-09. Look out, though, in 2009-2010, Greg will be da kine. Especially if he grows a mullet, which he probably will after I send a text to Kevin Pritchard.

The other day I was on a hike and I farted. It made me thing of the Bedge. Khara thinks that’s weird, but she’s used to it by now. It also made me think of this song.

Hey, did I ever tell you about the time I found a message in a bottle?

"How well will Greg Oden do next season?"

Greg will be fine.

Now that is taken care of….who would win a fist fight between Fantasia and Harry Potter? I think it would be Fantasia since she is bigger than Harry Potter. But you can’t hit a dude with glasses so that could tip the scales in favor of Harry.

Also I was having a little problem with my ….umm…digestive system…..so anyway I got some Exlax ( the chocolate kind) and I opened the package when I realized that I needed something to drink and went and got my drinky and when I came back to get the exlax it was gone. It seems my cat ate it all and then crawled into my bed…..so that is why I need a new house.

anyway…Aloha brudders an sistas.

Greg

I have lived in Hawaii with my wife, Khara, since 2005. This summer was the first time I have seen a 7 foot tall TrailBlazer biking around the islands. I considered giving Greg a box of macadamia nuts but decided to leave the big fella alone. I can tell you that his knee looked fine, though Greg did look pretty funny riding a bike. I guess they don’t make bikes in his size.

We don’t know how good Greg will be yet, but we must sit back and enjoy the journey.

Aloha.

I know there is a vast on-topic conspiracy at Blazers Edge. Big brother is junk, and I’m not talking about the TV show. I want answer! I want the truth!

Actually, everyone has done quite well. Too bad it’s not easier to search comments, I was all bus in an open thread once, and made everything the announcers said into something dirty.

Finally Luis Argote made the caricature of Nate. I think it would be nice to send it as this contest prize. I´ll wait to see if T Darkstar agree. You can watch Nate caricature in a recent fanshoot exposure.

Sounds great to me if it is good for you.

I’ll have the winner and you get together and swap information. I’m assuming you mean the winner of the title “Unofficial Blazers’ Edge Masked Persona,” and not the secondary alternate prize for most impersonations.

Thank you Amlmart1!

Hi.

Today on my way to work, I needed a little pick-me-up,
so I stopped at the local Authentic Hawaiian Shave Ice
stand. Since I was feeling nostalgic, about spring in
Oregon, I asked the guy behind the counter, who was a native,
for a quince shave ice. He said they didn’t have quince shave ice
and gave me the stink eye so I knew I had made a stupid
hoale mistake. I got a pumpkin juice shave ice instead.
Greg Oden is going to make, a big difference next year.

Greg Oden will obviously be a baller next year, according to my brilliant calculations.

Not only did I see him ditching the mohawk for mullet extensions, obviously worth and extra 5 points and 2 boards a game, but his jersey number, when the digits are added is 5+2 = 7,and when you take that number and account for the fact that his college number was 20, first digit 2, you must put two 7’s side-by-side, yielding 77, aka the year the Blazers won the NBA Championship. Now if you take that same number 20 and divide it by the two we used earlier, you get 10, or the number of fingers Greg has, which coincidentally when added to the first digit of his current jersey, 5, yields the equation 10+5= 15, or the number of rings Oden will have by the time his career is finished.

It's a WAR, and we're bringin' the BOOM!

Indeed.

It will be hard for me to judge from all these posers who’ve done a marvelous job. At least no matter how bad my judging is, my favorite cat will still love me, despite my flirtation with random women from the mainland, via LHWAOMS (Long Heckuva Way Across the Ocean Messaging Service). Not so sure about my wife though. Hmm. Some flowers and some macadamia nuts ought to do the trick.

Ann was close but she called the locals “native” and that is just wrong. The native Hawaiians had their land stolen from them by evil haoles, and then she called a person who’s ancestors moved her from Asia, “native,” for shame Ann, for shame.

Just kidding, everyone did super good. Hugs
