Having Lunch Tomorrow With The Great Storyteller

[Storyteller2]

How much space do we have left not counting the MLE of 2.5 MIL? I have heard 1.1 MIL but he would probably know. I don't think we are going to spend the money anyways so this doesn't matter too much but might as well get him to talk about his specialty.

Portland's over the cap now that they've signed Watson and McCollum. They have the Room Exception of $2.652 million, but they've already got 15 players under contract. So they could waive Harris to make room on the roster, but we'll see if they do....

 

[Storyteller2]

Ask him why he hasn't sent in a CV to Stan Kroenke.

I don't like the snow....

My Question for Story:

If a train leaves Portland going 35 mph and another train leaves Chicago going 45 mph how long before LaMarcus Aldridge is traded to Houston?

Bonus Question: If Neil Olshey has three vodka martinis with lunch, and Terry Stotts has two Shirley Temples, why do so many Blazers fans think Meyers Leonard should already play like Kevin McHale?

Because

Why is SlyPokerDog so mean to ABM?

Don't know, but we just talked for an hour about forgiveness, so I think you're OK again.....

If you could be any type of tree, what kind would you be?

Tree Rollins

What would be fresh is if that guy couldn't even figure out how much to tip! #$$$$$

I tipped a dime....too much?????

 

[Storyteller2]

Ask him how old he is, how long he's been doing this, what's the story on how he got into this, what is his line of work, and who's paying for the lunch.

47, 13 years, see below for longer answer, accounting, we each paid for our own.

I started doing it when I was posting on O-Live and wanted to post viable trade options for the Blazers, but couldn't find reliable salary data on the internet, so I started keeping my own spreadsheet. I started sharing my spreadsheet with friends and with those who were posting on Fanhome (later BBF). Started my website in 2004.

Thanks to ABM for a great time over lunch!

Thanks to ABM for a great time over lunch!

It was a LOT of fun, Jeff! Man, that hour turn into close to 3! Time flew by quickly. We laughed, we cried (OK, no we didn't)....Shoot, I meant to buy the t-shirt on the way out! :MARIS61:

Amazingly well! What a difference a day (and a good dentist) makes!!

I still have to do phase II with a specialist (deep root cleaning, etc.), but for now it's a beautiful thing! No pain to speak of. Taken a couple of ibu's throughout the day and am good to go.

Thanks for asking, "brother".

Do any of you remember WXMan? Storyteller told today that he had passed away about a year ago. I was shocked/saddened to say the least! Dude was TOTALLY good people!

He's front and center (well, actually, middle left) in your "Nerds invade the office" photo. Good people. Air Force veteran.

Agreed. I was really saddened when I heard the news.
