Elliot Williams out for the season?

[e_blazer]

It's a curse. The curse requires an offering. Hey, I don't argue with the ouiji.

I'd suggest we sacrifice a virgin to placate the basketball gods, but I doubt that there's much chance of finding one around here.

 

[crandc]

Actually, this is good news. Remember the Sleeping Beauty, where the good fairly says she can't undo the curse of the wicked fairy but can soften it? Sleep instead of death?

The good fairy can't undo the Curse of the Blazers Knees, but she softened it. Elliot Williams instead of Lillard or LMA or Nic. Unlike past when it was Oden and Roy.

Forget the virgin offering - since everyone here speaks so frequently and fondly of HCP's wife - perhaps she is the ultimate choice to please the basketball Gods! Give 'em a real baller and the curse shall be lifted!

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

Only kidding HCP

I thought we weren't allowed by certain poo pooers to bring up Mrs HCP?

Hey - the curse must be lifted at all costs!

Are you volunteering to be the sacrifice, e_blazer?

Heh! I've got 3 kids and 4 grandkids to attest that I cashed in my virgin card a long time ago.

Heh! that's what you think! They're actually the HCP's kids.

 

[handiman]

The sad thing is, I had to look to see if this was an old thread.

Somehow, as soon as I clicked the Post button, I knew that I'd get this response.

Fortunately, none of them look like HCP in the least.

I like it... and I swear it has nothing to do with the fact that the "joke" is so mind numbingly old.

I did the same thing! I just thought it couldn't possibly be true. That poor kid!

My brother is a teacher in Finland. He gets paid in Euros. Nuff said.

By this logic, European countries that aren't part of the whole Euro shenanigans aren't part of Europe.

Sound logic.

Where's Mixum when we need him?

I say f*** the naysayers. When did you ever follow directions, anyway, MM?

A female one at least. My guess is there are plenty of male virgins on this board.

I remember. You still seem to do your own thing, but in a nicer way.

It has nothing to do with being a lemming. The HCP jokes were only jokes as long as HCP thought they were funny. Once he asked people to stop talking about his wife that way, common decency says it should stop.

Did I miss him whining about the Mrs HCP jokes?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Sigh. On the plus side, SG is probably our most stacked position. Batum plays best there, Wesley, Barton and Nolan's best position is probably there as well.

I don't think we're stacked there at all. The only actual SGs we have are Matthews and Barton, and I don't expect much from Barton, at least as a rookie. Batum will hopefully play all of his minutes at SF, seeing as we don't have any other ones. Nolan will be the backup PG we some minutes at SG, but he can't play there much due to his lack of size. Pavlovic is one of the worst players in the NBA.

Description of a "lemming": A member of a crowd with no originality or voice of his own. One who speaks or repeats only what he has been told.

I find it ironic that you use the word "lemming" to describe those who poo pooed the "I fucked HCP's wife" jokes, because after a year of the same joke over and over ....that is kind of how the jokes come across. The originality and humor has been long gone. I don't think asking for some new material for the daily jokes is out of line. We have some clever posters on this board.
Can't we raise the bar?

Not so - he just implied that getting paid in Euros was sufficient, not that it was necessary.

That's your interpretation. You had to infer the rest. Mine was black-and-white interpretation. And sarcasm.

Pinwheel is smart and I'm the first one to say it!

I was implying that Finland was definitely part of Europe and that having the Euro as their currency solidified that. Guess I should have been more clear?

When I complained, I was totally joking. You guys are nerds posting on a forum...... Nothing your virgin fingers type can dent this armor FAMS!
