You know, Frederic fucking Chopin?
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
I mentioned Chopin b/c of the Tombstone tie-in. I did see a movie about him and some of his buddies called Impromtu, he seemed a bit neurotic but, you're right, hardly psycho...

If someone wants to search for it but fuck it. Everyone pays. 20.00 if I recall but could be mistaken.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
From the Pistons thread in the NBA forum:
STEADY PRINCE:
Tayshaun Prince, who started against the Hawks despite the sprained right ankle he suffered against the Wizards on Saturday, is turning in his typical steady season. His scoring is slightly down from last season, but his shooting percentages and rebounding stats are up -- so one could make a case that he has been one of the top three Pistons so far.
His steady play and professionalism will probably attract the attention of title contenders as the Feb. 21 trade deadline approaches.

Hard to believe that both Kentucky and UNC are out of the AP top 25 right now.

Not hard for me to believe, with regard to UNC, anyway. UK is probably borderline top 20...

So the "23" is just a bald-faced lie? Shameful shit.

Which has circled back on Dave23. For he is a devout follower of the Black Bears. And said bears will now devour children for the sass.
Happy birthday, indeed. Murderer.
