HP wins LoveFest 2001 HeyPartner digs deep and eventually comes out on top in week long Struggle By SmeggySmeg on October 22nd, 2001 "I, HeyPartner, take thee HeyScheetie to my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for playoffs to lotto, for wins to losses, for Isos to Pick'n'Rolls, for defense to None, for injuries to health, for OT to garbage time, for Hangout to GameAction, for Chat to Flash, for Jam to Clutch, to love and to cherish, till death or Steve via free agency departs. With these short vows and Clutch the bear's first words of "I pronouce you deranged fan and wife" and "you may now kiss the poor woman" HeyPartner married long time sweet heart heySchweetie and thus relagating his other lover the Rockets to the status second class citizen. Following the reception, which included a sensational BBQ, dancing to the Rockets intro music and multiple viewings of the Clutch City vidoes and the Triple OT games from last season, the key match-up between HeyPartner and HeySchweetie commenced at the nuetral venue of New Orleans. The Match-up HP came out strong, but blew his chances early and had to be sent to the bench extremely early in the game, with a couple of flagrant fouls, insiders say excitement got the better of him and he lost complete control way too early. round 1 to HeySchweetie, with Heypartner disqualified for a false start. HP seemed to be much better for the limited run in round 1 and his performance was much better in the 2nd quarter. His ball reversal was quite good and resulted in some successful weakside penetration and several tip-in on any misses. After sitting the first quarter Schweetie seemed completely able to stop Heypartner from scoring on the PowerPlay. round 2 to HeyPartner by a head. The Third quarter saw the defenses of both teams take over, shots were blocked all over the place, with both players continously getting hands in the lanes and deflecting numerous passes. Most impressively was the was the number of charges taken. With the referees having to work overtime to make decisions between the block/charge calls. Disappointingly HeyPartner was called for several illegal defense calls, spoiling a rather impressive quarter, however Schweetie also made a couple of keys errors when she tried to take charges in the dead zone under the basket. All in all a great quarter, leaving the scores locked at 69 all, heading into the 4th quarter. The forth quarter was plagued by fatigue, but both players struggled on and the lead changed regular monotony. The game slowed dramtically and became a very physical struggle in paint with lots of impressive post play, HeyPartner scored on several Power Lay-ups, but struggled to stop Schweetie' Hook shot. The key move late by Heypartner was to offensively goes to Iso's and switching this up with Pick'n'Rolls, both of which Schweetie seemed to struggle to keep out of the middle of the floor enabling HeyParter to hang on for tight and well fought victory in the dying stages of the game. Final Scores - HeySchweetie First, HeyPartner Second. Both players seemed rather happy with there performances, HeySchweetie said "I started out on top but strangley he finshed on top, I thought i performed rather well, but I must congratulate heypartner on his improvement, hopefully for the benefit of the sport he will continue his rapid rate of improvement". HeyPartner was rather reserved in victory, while relaxing with a cigarette, he gave us some great insight to the key to his victory "Although the Isos and Pick'n'Rolls helped in the forth, my mental concentration was sensational, my ability recount in my mind the statistics for all the Rockets players in the 90s really help me hang on for the win, while I eventually com out on top, I must however congratulate HeySchweetie on her performance and hopefully at some stage in the future she will challenge me to a re-match". So there's the recap fans, one can only hope this will be the beginning of a special rivalry. Welcome back HeyPartner, hope the Wedding, Reception and Honeymoon was sensational. SmeggySmeg
I was in a zone all week....lol Seriously, it really couldn't have been better. And now that I am officially on the first rung of the ladder of married life, I have some advice for all you soon-to-be's out there: Don't talk yourself into writing and reading a 4 page loooove speech no matter how much you like to write and speak.....the stress will.give.you.a.big.pimple just in time for your wedding pictures. unbelievable! Also, don't drop her ring on stage, because there is always a 1 in 100,000 chance it will catch an edge and roll 3 feet directly into a crevice that as no room for a ring, but it will still find some way to slide right down and disappear in front of your eyes. And lastly, don't toast your luv for crisco and all things smeggy...it will silence the crowd.
