And to think...

Yea, I’m old
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. But that's the way to bet. - Damon Runyon
LeBron scenario
For any of you all who may have been wrestling fans:
After spurning the Knicks and Cavs to sign with the Heat…
Stuart Scott: Lebron James, excuse me, excuse me, what in the world are you thinking?
Lebron James: Stu, the first thing you need to do is to tell this people to SHUT UP if you wanna hear what I got to say!
SS: I have been with you for so many years…for you to join up with these two men absolutely makes me sick! And I think that these people here and a lot of other people around the world have had just about enough of this man here [Bosh] and this man here [Wade] and you want to put yourself with this group? You’ve gotta be…kidding me.
LBJ: First thing you gotta realize, brother, is this right here is the future of basketball. You can call this the New World Order of basketball, brother! These two men here came here to win, and everybody was wondering who the third man was, well who knows less about that than me, brother?
SS: I’ve been there, I’ve done that…and you have made the wrong decision, in my opinion.
LBJ: Well lemme tell you something…I made that organization a monster…I made the people rich up there…and when it all came to pass, the name Lebron James, the man Lebron James, got bigger than the whole organization, brother. And then Billionaire Walsh, he wanted to talk turkey with Lebron James, amigo. Well, you know, Walsh promised me movies, brother, Billionaire Walsh promised me millions of dollars, Billionaire Walsh promised me world caliber games! Well, as far as Billionaire Walsh goes, Dan Gilbert and the whole NBA goes, I’m bored, brother. That’s why these two guys here, the so called Outsiders, these are the men that I want as my friends, they’re the new blood of professional basketball, and not only are we gonna take over the basketball business with Lebron James and new blood, the monsters with me, we will destroy everything in our path, Stuart Scott.
SS: Look at all the crap on this court! That’s whats in the future for you if you want to hang around with this man Bosh and this man Wade.
LBJ: As far as I’m concerned, all this crap on the court represents these fans out here. For seven years, brother, for seven years I held my head high, I did everything for the charities, I did everything for the kids, and the reception I got when I came out here, you fans can STICK IT, brother, because if it wasn’t for Lebron James you people wouldn’t be here, if it wasn’t for Lebron James, Dan Gilbert would still be selling meat from a truck in Cleveland. If it wasn’t for Lebron James, all thse Johnny come latelys you see play basketball wouldn’t be here. I was selling the world, brother, while they were bumming gas to put in their car to get to high school. So the way it is, with Lebron James and the New World Organization of basketball, brother, and the new blood by my side, whatcha gonna do when the New World Organization runs wild on you? WHATCHA GONNA DO?
SS: Mike, Mark, Jeff, let’s get back to you.
Mike: All right, we have seen the end of Lebronamania. For Mark Jackson, for Jeff van Gundy…I don’t know. I’m Mike Breen. Lebron James, you can go to hell. We’re outta here. Straight to hell. [slams headset down]

Well Fucking Done
Breaking News: I'm currently in the process of writing "I will not say and/or type "that word" 1,000 times.
As a non-follower of NBA
I thank you for putting this in a language I understand. Now I’m gonna go watch old Wolfpac vids on Youtube and reminisce about the good-old-days of WCW, because apparently I have nothing better to do…
Meant to rec this earlier but I had to hurry along to work.
Rec’d like both of Cleveland’s buildings.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.

...Hey, Yo...
rec’d like Hall & Syxx Pac’s careers! Awesome, I haven’t been able to be a fan (or even really watch) since the WCW. I miss my love/hate relationship w/ the nWo & the Wolfpack was my life.
Wolfpack in tha HOOUUSE!!!

It would be hilarious if Kovy and LeBron ended up on the same team.
ESPN would be all like, “Wait, we have to pay attention to HOCKEY again? Well fucking shit!”
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.

Hey, if LeBron’s a King, then he’ll actually have a logical reason to call himself “King James”.

Thats odd
I just ordered a couple of Lego castle sets the other day. Weird…
Barret Jackman is my hero.
Fueled. These new shores burn. Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more.
In case anyone cares....
we made the drive to Chicago from Omaha Nebraska last night…left Omaha at 7:30pm…got to my mom’s place in the suburbs at 4:00am…yes, thats right…4:00AM. The drive should have only taken about 7 hours max…it took 9. We had to keep fixing the steering in the truck, then we had rain, and construction….it was awful.
I, however, did NOT sleep one wink. I had two 5 Hour Energy shots and 1 sugar free Red Bull within that 9 hour drive…I could only sleep til about 9 am…and I woke up feeling hungover like I really tied one on last night. Yay /sarcasm.
But anyway…going to grit my teeth and listen to the Blackhawks anthem singer do the anthem for the Nascar race on Saturday, and also to Duncan Keith with the “gentlemen start your engines” at least I’ll have LOTS of alcohol in me from tailgating starting at 8am.
YAY NASCAR!
Put your big girl panties on and deal with it!
The real question is...
is it worth giving into Twitter? Decisions, decisions…
I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"
Oh, absolutely...
I don’t know where they got that picture of Vicky Vette, however, ‘cause that ain’t her…
…er, at least that’s what I was told…

Meanwhile across the big pond....
the swilling of sangria and carnage continues in San Fermin. The second day of the bulls running in Pamplona Spain saw seven people injured, including two who were gored. 1 teenager was gored to death this past weekend during the start of the festival.
"Viva San Fermín!, Gora San Fermín!"
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
oops
forgot the link with moar pics of drunken PWNED bull fighters. The running of the bulls down to the stadium isn’t the best show, once the bulls get into the stadium all the drunks play bullfighter for about 1/2 hour or until a couple get gored read bad. Then they drag them off and the bullfights start.

spectr17
I am heading out to SoCal Sat for a week. San Diego mainly.
Would you be interested in meeting up? Maybe split the difference on location?
PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
Hmmm
I’m on call next week for work so the next weekend is out, I gotta stay local to LA for response time. I can do lunch Friday, I’m off that day, gotta be back in LA by 4PM.
This weekend I’m pretty tied up with chores and hunting.
send my your CP spectr17 at jesseshunting.com
We can maybe meet up in Escondido or Temecula. Temecula has a great cowboy bar with the long azz saloon bar set up but I can’t go near a bar on call.

blues and canadiens
both reported to be interested in Fedotenko. too bad that’s from fucking eklund
Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.
Almost assuredly
it isn’t true, then. E4.
