Ok, I know in the GARM, there is a thread titled "Drexlerisms." But I feel like the noises that come out of the mouth of Charles Barkley need their own thread. "Oh, I like Orlando hosting the AS game in 2012. They've got GREAT soul food down there!" "I hope they both lose." - Barkley, prior to Cheryl Miller announcing the winner of the 2010 Slam Dunk Contest.
"I heard Tonya Harding is calling herself the Charles Barkley of figure skating. I was going to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized I have no character."
On the Enron scandal investigation: "Almost all those politicians took money from Enron, and there they are holding hearings. That's like O.J. Simpson getting in the Rae Carruth jury pool." More here: http://www.blacksportsonline.com/index/2008/09/rl50charlesbarkley.html
Man, everything gets blamed on the Clintons, every single thing in this world. I think Bill Clinton shot JFK, too. Barkley on Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith eating a box of hot Krispy Kreme donuts in front of him: "Both of y'all are2 going to hell for that. Y'all are going to hell with a first-class ticket. Is that how you treat your partner? Krispy Kreme might be the greatest invention in the history of civilization when they're hot. Y'all are cruel man." While watching someone in Australia put $1 million worth of rubies on a table: "Damn, must not be any black folks in Australia. You can't just leave $1 million worth of jewelry lying around the 'hood." On the Portland Trail Blazers (back when they were known as the Jail Blazers) serving Thanksgiving meals: "In between arrests they do community service."
Ernie: “Did they recognize you in South Dakota?” Charles: “Yes, they did. It was easy because I was the only black person there. When they see me walking down the street they say ‘There he goes again’. And when I come back the next year they say ‘He’s back yawl!’”
man I love Charles Barkley, I rather watch Inside the NBA instead of the actual game. Yesterday he was like, can we watch the replay of the Lakers game twice instead of the Hawks game. lol
Ha, I felt that was stupid. Not that God isn't an expert, but that Charles felt he absolutely had to add something.
