3. true;
9. I can't remember the name of the prominent Blazer who's brother came to St. Louis hoping to get signed by the Cardinals was refused and in a fit of desperation robbed a gas station and some other place that I can't remember. That must have been somewhere around 1984. He was chased by police until he wound up in an apartment in my complex where he committed suicide. The police had the complex roped off and wouldn't allow anyone in. I had to kill time until it was all over before they would let me enter my home.
One ex Blazer has a Dental business in Lake Oswego. His son works there as a dentist. Can you name him?

Terry Dischinger

Doctor Terry Dischinger. His clinic is about a mile and a half from my house. I pass within a block of it about ten times a day. I've always wanted to stop by but I don't need orthodontia.

 

[hoopsjock]

Shawn Kemp's middle name is Travis by the way, still a lie though!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Will there be a political version of this thats two lies and a half truth?
