PrintPerhaps it's the rain, or perhaps it's the 3 cups of strong coffee, but I'm feeling a bit poetic today. Let's get creative as we get ready for the Blazers to make their stand!
The game: haiku.
The rule: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables.
I'll admit my haiku could be more fantastic, but it's just a basic sentiment I'm share all Blazer fans share.
Have fun and Go Blazers!
The end on our court?
Not tonight! Back to Texas!
And no 8-on-5.

Here's one:
Blazer fans are mad
Refs hope to escape with lives
Yao fouls out. We win.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
Enough dumb losses,
It’s rip city comeback time;
put points on Yao’s face.
"We really don't reference the rulebook." ~Joe Borgia, NBA VP of referee operations, to Henry Abbot regarding the calling (or lack thereof) of traveling.

It’s been a long road.
This is just another step.
Blazers will walk on.
I heart taxes.

Rafter streamers fall.

This deserved to go green.

Spending Paul Allen's Money
Does SPAM contain tongues?
When you eat it, does it taste
you as you taste it?
Roseate pork slab
How you quiver on my spork!
Radiant light, gelled.
Formless spawn of pork,
Leers with gelatinous gaze,
Taunting my lean soul.
Old man seeks doctor:
“I eat SPAM daily,” he says.
“Angioplasty.”
SPAM is perhaps the greatest food of all time
bayless leaves over my dead body
