I think that Dr of Dunk post has to be one of the funniest ever and if Will said so, I gotta believe him. He's been around this dungeon as long as I have! ------------------ "No one gets out ALIVE!" SaveOurRockets.com
oooh! oooh! I have a picture! http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum3/HTML/006269.html ------------------ And with the number one pick in the draft, the Rockets select ... Khalid Al Amin?
I just read that #1 thread all the way through for the first time, and realized that DREAMer had already used the 'old dog' analogy that I tried to use in a later thread. Sorry DREAMer. ------------------
Not so fast. There was an asterisk on my claim that Dr's was the funniest post of the year.* *(see Dr's paragraph about BobFinn*) ------------------ Note to self: Ask Clutch to restore "do NOT include signature" as the default.
Crisco, I nominate you to select thread with the Best Signature of the Year. DrOfDunk, Find us the Most Clueless Award for thread with humor or sarcasm mistaken for a flame. (I recall Will having a great one.) [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited April 14, 2000).]
And how is this related to Rockets talk exactly? Some would say close this thread. I don't mind, though. Just like to point out hypocrisy(sp) wherever it is. DaDakota ------------------

HeyPee, Some of us just like getting you riled up to see how many other threads you make reference to the original flame thread. What can I say, the board does get dull at times... BTW, I may need your assistance in the near future pending Clutch's approval. I got me a plan to make da board fun for a bit. lol! Come on Clutch, answer my email!!! ------------------ <this space for rent>
heypartner, I liked the lengthy thread about the Bullard-Malone feud. Are your initials "MM"? If so, I have your email address. I have something to send you about the unknown poster and the broken link. Else, generate a new email like Doc just did so I can send you this.

Mango, my spam-tolerant email address is: heypartner@yahoo.com I've never actually checked that account. It is my Bridge moniker at all the cut-throat sites where I get to infuriate Blue Hairs....welcome to the Internet grandma!! j/k we always have fun
Did someone mention my *? Hmmmmmmm... Will: you know darn well if jordan didn't serve a suspension for gambling...ooops...I mean, a bug for playing baseball, huh? right!! the Rockets wouldn't have won those 2 championships. ------------------ "The bigger they are, the worse they smell."

heypartner, I sent you a note and an attached html file to the email account listed above. You will recognize it as being from: d b <BarD207@netscape.net> Mango ------------------ The Serious Police are watching Donate Blood
HAH! I particularly like the clutch/tod the bod vs. heypartner posts in the MEGA-FLAME thread. Funny, at the time heypartner was a relatively new poster and got NO respect... heh... ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain -
There is a followup there, but I won't do it. Maybe CriscoKidd or TheFreak will do it. Mango ------------------ The Serious Police are watching Donate Blood
just re-read the CBrownFanClub thread -- it has to have been one of the most enlightened takes on being a Rocket fan I've read since ----- well, the mid '80's this year's team is a huge upgrade over last year's team. Pippen was a cancer -- props to Rudy and Carroll for getting back to building a squad with over achievers. Doc Rivers is the only person I've seen that can touch Rudy in that category. It's that formula for success that made the two championship years so special. Taking Robert Horry when Harold "Baby Jordan" Miner was still on the board, drafting Cassell, pulling together journeymen like Chuckie, Mario, Earl Cureton, Herrera, and Grandpa Jones -- I think at one point we had six or seven ex CBA players on the roster. This years squad has that kind of potential. I, for one, had a great time watching this lottery bound squad. Watching a young, hungry Rocket squad beat talent-rich Portand and LA on network TV was as special as a first-round loss any day of the week. ------------------
