How's this for fame or is it infamy? Amateur Paparazzi at it's Best: I came across a post on the Clutchcity.net message boards that I was ready to dismiss as an overeager fan trying to score virtual social points. rockHEAD, an active poster to the ClutchCity message boards and a member for over 2 years, wrote of a chance encounter with Hakeem Olajuwon in a Houston-area grocery store. Somehow able to gather his senses, rockHEAD popped the question most die-hard Rockets fans are in limbo over: Are you returning to the Rockets next season? Olajuwon's response? "I'm going to work another year, but it won't be here!" Normally I don't consider rumors and chance encounters such as these worthy of the time needed to download them. But rockHEAD has been a member of ClutchCity since May 1999 and he has posted almost 1,400 messages during that time. In the Internet world of Message Boards, newsgroups and mailing lists, only respected individuals carry those credentials. Interest piqued, I read some of the replies. There was much disappointment of course. Olajuwon is a Houston icon after all. He single-handedly put Houston on the basketball map. Top that, NASA. Still, one cannot help but waive the caution flag in a public forum such as this. Before I added my picture at the top of my Pump Fakes articles, how many of you thought I was a sexy Jamaican in his mid-to-late-30's? OK, bad example. But then rockHEAD did the practically unthinkable. He backed up his claim. A stroll through the thread unveiled pictures of Olajuwon shopping in said grocery store. If these aren't real, then rockHEAD is missing his calling as a well-paid graphics designer and editor. You've gotta see it to believe it. Check out the thread in question. ------------------ Who's your buddy? Who's your pal? I am, aren't I?
Hasn't this already been posted? I am disappointed in you, Jeff. ------------------ Squatting on old bones and excrement and rusty iron, in a white blaze of heat, a panorama of naked idiots stretches to the horizon. Complete silence-their speech centers are destroyed-except for the crackle of sparks and the popping of singed flesh as they apply electrodes up and down the spine. White smoke of burning flesh hangs in the motionless air. A group of children have tied an idiot to a post with barbed wire and built a fire between his legs and stand watching with bestial curiosity as the flames lick his thighs. His flesh jerks in the fire with insect agony.
Are you sure that just wasn't our boy rockHEAD, tooting his own horn with an alias, kinda a little pumping up of the ego,just curious....
oh how great this site is ------------------ Shane "Save Our Rockets" "Life without basketball in Houston........without an arena that is what it will be"
Jeff, I'm disappointed in you. You have over 6000 posts! This was already posted in the original rockHEAD/stalker thread. The part I liked was the part where the guy says since rockHEAD has over 1400 posts, he must be somebody respectable. ------------------ "I'll tell you this, the older I get, the less I trust people. It's true. It's damn true." -- gr8-1 going through some growing pains.
