Monday is sailing night. I guess I will just have to read the game day open thread. I want some detail Blue.

A note of advice:

This would be a good poll for someone to actually execute the “Close Poll” function.
Cut this bad boy off at tip-off.

Blazers have a five-on-three...and they pull it back and wait for help.

Thanks.

Close polls are more interesting than blowout polls.

I love Ime, but go Hornets. Even though Bonzi is one of my most hated ex-Blazers.

Bonzi can’t compare to the way I feel about Danny Ainge. Eeeeeeeeeeuuuuuwwwwwwwww! Go Detroit!
Cheese! I’m getting confused.

Sacrilege!

Bonzi isn’t fit to carry the jock of Charles Barkley. Sir Charles may have been a thorn in our sides when he was on the court, but he’s been a fan of what the Blazers have been doing over the last couple of seasons, and he’s got a brain in his head.

Bonzi on the other hand…the wind whistles through his cortex with nary an obstacle in its way.

by DonkeyShins on May 19, 2008 10:11 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Not to nitpick or anything

(no wait, that’s exactly what I mean to do…) but the wind can’t really whistle through his cortex with nary an obstacle in his way. By virtue of being a brain structure, the cortex would be the obstacle in and of itself. And even if neurons were entirely absent from his cerebral cortex, preventing conscious thought, glial cells still make up about 90% of the human brain and would certainly keep the wind from blowing willy-nilly.

Barkley is a class act. A total class act.

Bonzi is not a gambling addict, so far as we know.

Bonzi is most definitely NOT a class act.

Bonzi is not the kind of guy who denounces right wingers as “fake Christians.”

They do have a similar body type, though.

How can you hate the guy

who gift-wrapped us our franchise player for Bassy Telfair and mild salary cap relief? Besides, Danny Ainge was the best executive in the NBA this year, lest we forget. We really ought to pay him more respect.

by BlazersOrBust on May 19, 2008 10:14 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I have no good reason for despising Danny Ainge but I always have. There is just something about his

whiny, petulant, self-absorbed demeanor and his pointed, rodent-like face that makes me wanna go Eeeeeuuuuuuuuuuwwwwwwwww! He reminds me of Scabbers.

So many Blazer fans seem to like the Hornets. Don’t anyone remember what pricks they acted like during our games against them? Chandler had like two melt downs and West was being a punk too. We beat ‘em, but I remember everyone disliking them for a few days.

Now they’re everyone’s second fav team.

I don’t mind ‘em, I like the youngins.
