    In order to live up to my billing, here is the inside scoop on the missing insiders...told in that strange tongue, insiderese...


    Think Zeppelin, but not the band. Are you high enough yet? Can you see the leopards from there? No? Well, then...go a little to the left. That's it...But don't forget that ants like scones too.

    Ok...the thing is, boys and girls of all ages, the elephant may have a trunk, but the leapoard has no spots, so only one of them is packing light. The other one is thinking of getting into the purchases market...with maybe a nice gold fish pond in the back yard. But where, oh where, will Jack get another Cow, as the beans have come up empty?


    Get it? Got it? Good...






    Editor's note...if you have, in fact, made anything out of the above gibberish, please seek professional help immediately.

    Why is that Oeilpere was unable to post in grammatically correct english? I always found this a bit odd.

    That's OK. I won't lose any sleep over it. :)
    Like many of us with a life constantly pulling them from one of the things they most enjoy, this BBS, perhaps Oeilpere has things that keep him away and that he will eventually have "taken care of". I hope so... we might get the pleasure of reading him again. He's just one of many I would like to enjoy again on a regular basis.

    As to where they have all gone, perhaps we'll find out. In time.
    Until then, we'll have to put our hopes in MacBeth's hands. ;)


    (I think it was a problem with his keyboard, gsd&m)

    Okay...big scoop coming up...I can't get into too much detail, but my sources tell me that the Rockets are gonna hire a new coach any day now...and he just might be a former Knics coach c*m announcer named Jeff Van something...I'll leak out more details when I get them, but only in a way that won't compromise my source with the Rockets, Paul Reynolds.



    I'm a natural at this insider thing.

    2 little tidbits that I recall hearing...dont know how relevant or correct they are..

    1) I remember hearing that popeye was battling an illness a while back...how serious or if this has anything to do with his continued absense, I dont know.

    2) I do also remember seeing him complain about problems typing with his keyboard, possibly because of it being a laptop or something like that.

    I know that's why I checked out for a year or so, only coming back recently to get some news on the new coach (prior to JVG's hiring).

    I'm not a big poster, mostly because I'd rather not contribute to the incessant repetition of innuendo and misreported facts. I'll post only if I have something original to say, or if I strongly agree with another post.

    insiders have never replied to a "where is the inside info" thread before, why should now be any different.
    That said, I fear they were connected to the old staff...

    The stuff I get from any media personnel that deals with my company is posted on the site already. No need for repetition.

    And still, I hear alot of rumors that don't make sense. Like the one I hear about trading Griffith for this guy and this Rocket to that guy. And they don't make sense. So, why post?

    Apparently you are suggesting that popeye is jim boylen. If that is the case, the nagging question is where did jim boylen study english? His posts suggested that his first language was not english, or that he often posted in an "altered state of mind".


    I realize that this issue was addressed, but I don't buy the explanations.
