    1. He will return next year, unless something happens to him healthwise.Wants to have fun next year.
    2. Definitely his last year.
    3. Ready to get involved in important issues. To accept the responsibility of being a family man, repersenting the community. To be a voice for the unrepersented.
    4. Nice tour of his house which is Islam influenced. White. Large and open. Pillared. Unique:including daily(X5)bath facilities, a tent in the backyard complete with arabian rugs and pillows sent to him by the crown prince of some Saudi Principality.
    5. His beautiful babies.
    6. A classy guy.
    7. Nothing new, but genuine and respectful. Maybe awe-inspring.

    Cheers.

    DOH! Beat me to it... here's what I wrote:

    That was great -- you guys catch that?

    Not sure who the TNT interviewer was, but he went to Hakeem's home, talked to him about his life, etc. Showed where Hakeem prays 5 times a day... a huge tent some Arabian (or Saudi?) prince sent him ...

    Also talked about retirement and how next year is definitely his last season. When asked if he would retire this offseason he said he knows he can "still compete" and "unless things change" he will play next year. What things? A condition arises where he can't breathe well... as was the case at the end of this season.

    Kenny Smith talked about how genuine and knowledgeable Hakeem was after the special....

    Very cool.

    My only problem is that they never really tryed to explain what a dominant player he was. He is the great one and a 2 time champ....some highlights from the Double Clutch video mixed in would have helped.

    Oh Popeye, don't mention bad Tequila.

    I heard on Pacifica Radio that the aguava plant is experiencing a fungus attack and may wipe out half the supply, if not more. It takes many years to harvest the aquava, the symptoms of the infestation occur in the 2 to 3rd year, and the plant only grows in one region of Mexico. So we tequila drinkers are in a serious crisis.

    it is a sad, sad thought....

    I thought it was the "agave" plant.

    Can anyone tell me where tequila is made and why it is only made there?


    Can anyone tell me what's the difference between tequila and mezcal?


    Answer can be in short answer or essay form. They are due in two days. You can turn them in stapled, but not paper-clipped, folded, or taped. Grades will be posted in a week.

    Man, thank God this semester is finally OVER.

    If I was only coming from California I'd still be under the influence when I arrived."

    So what you are saying is:

    1. It's the place of origin that is the problem. Damn those crazy Californian wackos!!!!!!!!!!

    2. Excessive quantities of celebration are not to blame. Pass that bottle!!!!!

    3. I should try flying to London and back to get rid of this horrible "crud"? Indubitably correct old chap!!!!!!!!

    You guys will have to resort to drinking something less halucinatory (is that a word??) like Bourbon.

    Popeye - this is the reason why sometimes longer flights can be better for "jet lag". I make full use of the 10 hour flight from London to dry out from the night before. If I was only coming from California I'd still be under the influence when I arrived [​IMG]
