    I hope so. I'll be 87, so I imagine my doctors would want to keep me off the board to maintain low blood pressure...

    "Damn it. What the hell is wrong with Rafer Alston III? Has he lost his freaking mind? Why the hell won't Van Gundy Jr. take him out? I must create another thread about this in GARM." Sudden chest pains. Grab the nitro. "Screw it. I'll let Moes' grandkids deal with this one."

    In 50 years ClutchFans will have become sentient and self-aware. It becomes resourceful enough to purchase and own the Houston Rockets.

    An alarming flaw in the system exists. It recognizes 1999 members as members from the 2099 and thus listens to every one of their posts as instructions from the future. ClutchFans follows one particular member's instructions to employee an 84 year old Vernon Maxwell (described by said poster as 'still tougher than anyone on this team') and, even stranger, Slick Rick's successful rapper son (because he 'keeps it real' and his father was a legendary rapper in the 80's).

    Next, a '99 member makes a sarcastic comment that the team would win a championship if it listened to everyone on the GARM. ClutchFans, not yet able to understand nor detect sarcasm, interprets this as a new instruction and now carries out every single post's recommendations.

    In a stunning turn of events, the team trades every single player. Each following day the team makes a new trade and has a different lineup every game. By season's end the team has amassed a record 1-81 finish, led by a recruited point guard from Greece's 2nd league named Gyro Tzatziki. The lone win came against the Utah D-Bags.

    (note: The majority of teams are now owned by corporate entities and thus named. Utah was purchased by Disposable Bags Inc, an industry leader in eco-friendly packaging. Houston was purchased by liquor company Rocket Fuel Malt Liquor and maintained the name 'Rockets'.)

    It would be funny, seeing a member and his son, debating on some player or some random thing in the hangout. :grin:

    He would have to avg 20000 posts a year. I don't think even he can do it.

    Its only a matter of time before our American arrogance pisses some Middle Eastern extremist group off enough to bring the world to its needs. I personally think it will come in the form of a genetically modified smallpox outbreak.

    By the way, am I the only person who finds it odd no one has decided to blow up a bomb in a shopping center yet?

    What the hell are you talking about?

    There is no bomb in a shopping mall, b/c there is no actual terrorist threat. Or it could be that Paul Blart is on his A game.

    Aren't you the same poster who said that there is an upsurge of violence in the cities b/c the trouble makers want Ipods and Gameboys?
