Greg Oden on being 21:

"So this past week i turned 21, its been a really fun week. I really dont feel any different, everybody ask me if i feel older and i give them the same answer heck no i feel like a day went by. On my birthday when i was paying the bill for my dinner and drinks i gave the lady my credit card and i.d. and she said she didnt need it. So the next day i went to a resteraunt and sat in the bar and they carded all my friends except me, even when i went to a club they didnt card me at all. Its just seems different to me cause i feel like one of the best things about being 21 is when the people who works at a place dont think your 21 you get to whip out your i.d. and shove it back in there face. Ill never get that chance cause everybody already thinks im 50. Im still waiting on that day for someone not to recognize me and card me so i can be like "nope player im of age."

From the back of Travis Outlaw's Franz card: Travis leads the team in monstrous thunder dunks, wins awards for post game interviews, and often gets extra points for degree of difficulty.

Yes!

And make sure someone else is driving you home! If not, call me, or just about anyone in here, and we’ll drive you home.

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

He had his birthday dinner with friends and family...

and then was supposed to pick up the tab himself?

Then again, maybe he was the only one at the table that could afford the bill.

No wonder he was so popular back in high school

he was the one who bought the beer.

And not only that, he often got the senior discount.

I hope for all the joy that can be had from being young and finantually independent to be his. I hope his leasons are quick and relatively painless, or more to the point, gracefull, and not all at his own expence. I hope for him to get to live it up completly, with little to no regrets, and no shame. And i hope he can take it all instride and acknowledge me politly when i smile and nod at him and we make eye contact outside any event that hes paid to attend. GO GREG ODEN!!!!111

fatty school

all it needs is the numerification of all the "one"s, and chopping the lines down in half, and it’s clear that Oden writes in the Modified Fatty oeuvre.
