Sorry to hear about your dad AA--hope he is doing well.

He is speaking. Can't move his left side at all and it's doubtful he ever will. he is child-like and confused. Think Hedge with ambulation problems.

Thanks for asking.

My Gramps had the same situation. After awhile he could walk like Tim Conways shuffling old guy character. From that point on though mentally he was 10 but fun. We'd have farting contests and stuff.

Thanks. Big MCA. What we used to call a 'watershed.'

TpA in the field saved his life.

teaching that in acls now--ballsy call to do it in the field before a ct

No, no. I used 'the field' to denote the little outlying community that had a 1984 CT to r/o a bleed. Started it, and flighted to UAB's NICU.

Is UNCnut on the Scout boards a reliable source?

He's reporting that Dillon Maples walked off the football field after practice today and announced that he was signing with the Cubs.

He was going to pitch for the baseball team and kick for football if he went to school.

It's true, Dave. Maples told the team today that he was signing with the Cubs.

AA -- I also wish your Dad all the best. It's tough watching your parents grow old. I'm right there with you, brother.

Its an irregular heart beat or some such isn't it? Or was that another Larkin family member that had that? I'm sure its something similar.

Jungle Rat · Post by **Jungle Rat** » Wed Aug 17, 2011 7:12 am

Probably the AIDS. He did go to Moeller right?

Bklyn · Post by **Bklyn** » Wed Aug 17, 2011 1:09 pm

So, he's going to play for a team about to be put on sanctions? Good thinking.

So when Carolina goes undefeated this year and beats UK by double digits in December in Lexington, and then again (by double digits) in April to claim our sixth national championship, will UK fans finally admit that Carolina is the greater (greatest) program?

AlabamAlum · Post by **AlabamAlum** » Wed Aug 17, 2011 2:23 pm

Carolina has never won a national championship. You give the Gamecocks way too much credit.

Given the gist of this tale, I can't understand what he means by that last quote...

Ex-Kentucky big man Josh Harrellson shows his superhero side

By Jeff Eisenberg

We already knew ultra-charismatic ex-Kentucky big man Josh Harrellson has a knack for grabbing rebounds and defending the paint. Now we know he also has a heroic streak.

According to WKYT-TV, Harrellson and some friends were standing in the parking lot of a Lexington bar on Saturday night when they noticed a visibly drunk man getting into the driver's seat of a truck. That man then started to back up his truck really fast in the direction of Harrellson and his friends, prompting the man best known to Kentucky fans as "Jorts" to jump into action.

"I just pushed everybody out of the way, and then bam — right into my truck," Harrellson told WKYT.

"About four or five of us guys jumped on the truck and reached in there and turned the keys off and just tried to make sure he wasn't going anywhere...

"We were just worried because he could have put it in drive at any time and maybe ran somebody over, or while our arms were in the car, just kept going and we could have been drug or something. I'm the type of guy that, I want to make sure everybody else is [all right]. I saw it, I moved out of the way, I'm fine. My truck got hit, that's replaceable. I was just thankful nobody got hurt and the kids [discovered sitting in the man's backseat] were fine."

It would be commendable if anyone showed that kind of compassion for others, but it's especially impressive that Harrellson was so unselfish. The 6-foot-10 big man cannot afford a severe injury right now because he's attempting to win a spot with the New York Knicks -- who drafted him in the second round -- whenever the NBA lockout clears.

Fortunately, Harrellson escaped with little damage, though his truck wasn't so lucky.

"It's got a nice little dent in the back," he said. "I don't know what's going to happen, hopefully the guy has insurance. You know, lives aren't replaceable so I'd definitely do it again."
