Re: Ostensibly Hoops
did you tell her it looked like one of those sweater de-linter things by the time we got around to it?
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

pussy....we played army w/ bb guns, bottle rockets and home-made tater cannons (but we'd shoot tennis balls because they'd go further/straighter)AlabamAlum wrote:I didn't have a Big Wheel. I think those came after me. We played army with rocks, pine cones and sticks.

Ahhh, a rich kid. Pathetic. You wouldn't have lasted in my group. We'd have stoned you to death.
BB guns? Bottle rockets? Well, aren't you special.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
We used to build slingshots using wood blocks (about 10" long, 4" thick),
a pinch spring clothes pin
and a thick rubber band
Split the rubber band, nail it on one end, nail the clothes pin on the other...shoot rocks (or as a kid in North Philly...Shaefer bottled beer caps). It was cool because you could run around with one in the chamber. Bottle caps start to arc right or left after about 5 feet once you shoot them, though. Rocks were much more effective (dangerous), but harder to find ones that always fit into the "chamber."

The best part about big wheels was the kid who took it too seriously and got to rocking that goddamn head from side to side while he's peddaling, like George Jefferson doin' a pimp strut.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
We used to have bb gun fights in the woods when we were kids. My mom put a stop to it though after I got shot behind the ear. It's still in there today. We moved on to Army men and fireworks. Then dirt bike ramps.

And as a result you still get stopped going through airport security.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
Speaking of TSA, Sen. Paul got stopped after an "abnormality" was discovered on his knee by a body scanner. Hopefully, he become an outspoken advocate for the ridiculous security theater that is the TSA.

I heard that was in Nashville. It's easier to go from Santiago, Chile to Dallas than Nashville to Dallas.

I see quite a few non-national champion banners hanging in there. What's up with that, Crotch? I thought UK only hung banners for national championships. What else can we expect of this new arena? Fans rushing the court after a victory? I'd like to think that could never happen, but seeing those non-national championship banners hanging there, I can only think standards are slipping in Lexington. Or else it's just been so fucking long since UK actually won a national championship that the powers that be realized it would be wise to start hanging some mere FF banners, lest you not put another banner up at all. Good thinking. Now start rushing the court, Crotch. Or at least the common area of your trailer park. You know you've done that after a UK victory before...

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
From what I heard, he set off a scanner and refused a pat down. So, they walked him to the back to be questioned (and let thee other passengers get thru security). I don't remember what happened after that.AlabamAlum wrote:Speaking of TSA, Sen. Paul got stopped after an "abnormality" was discovered on his knee by a body scanner.

Sen Paul is Rand Paul, btw, for those that don't know.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
so in the mockup of Rupp, they really felt the need to include a guy in a storm trooper outfit riding a segway?
who the fuck is doing the CAD work?
I wonder if the upper seats will have seatbacks instead of bleachers ?

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
UK scored 19 points in the second half last night? Really? Georgia shot 3 free throws? Really??
