    The farther the Rockets move down the standings, the farther I move down the bleachers.

    USB periperhals make for slow throughput. I personally hook up my SONET/ATM network to my heart and a bottle of cheez-wiz to my brain. Yes, that explains a lot.

    Addict?

    At work, I have the site minimized while working on an Excel spreadsheet or typing a memo or just plain working. I refresh about every 30 - 45 minutes if there are no meetings to get in my way.

    At home, I have a constant connection and refresh about every hour. I mostly look for new headlines and most of the time I don't post. But if I had to count, I probably visit about...20 times a day.

    When the site goes public, I am going to buy 100,000 shares at the opening price of 20 then sell it at 300, totally wire my new mansion with wireless fiber optic internet/television lines and have them all feeding into my new microchip computer in my brain that I had implanted to get 400 channels along with capability to watch every Rocket game for as long as I live while at the same time being able to wink one eye when I want to switch my brain to internet mode to access the new and improved java rich, Macromedia filled, full screen video highlight capable, CC.net and wink the other eye when I want to reply to a topic while I move my fingers in a typing motion in the air as I reply to Rocketman95s great post about how Francis will win his 4th consecutive assist title and how Fizer is winning the MVP for the 2nd year in a row in route to 5peat while I later laugh at the new CC headline stating that the Timberwolves have just heard that the then 28 year old Garnett has gotten tired of the constant ass whooping the Rocks give to his team and now feels that he has enough money and that he is never will win a championship in cold Minnesota so he decides to come to Houston for our then 4.5 million exception causing the NBA teams to cry foul and catapulting the Rocks into the upper echelon of all time great teams.

    Ok, Almu, put the laptop down and slowly back away...easy there big guy...steady there...

    Texas,USA...... (API/UPI) It was announced today that Popeye Inc, a sports-tech firm from the Lone Star State, has patented a 15 din bioplug access that can be easily inserted near the cervical vertebrae of most humans. This device will afford the user the ability to connect the first through to the ninth cranial nerve via the cervical foramen with only mild discomfort.
    Inventor Popeye-Sailorman is an avid NBA Rockets basketball fan and certified clutchcity.net addict and developed the device to allow direct transmission of computer information, including the streaming clutchcity.net BBS posts, to his brain on a twenty-four hour basis.
    When asked how the bioplug was tested to ascertain it's safety and to assure it would conform to OSHA regulations, Popeye showed a disturbing film depicting him gurgling, drooling and making incomprehensible sounds. When asked if this was a film showing early beta copies of the device he answered," No, actually that was me the other night, when we kicked some Jazz ass." He then quickly fast-forwarded to show him writhing on the floor, crying loudly and pleading someone to shoot him. He explained, that yet again, this was not an early version,just him "....reading LHutz's latest post,man."
    Further requests for demonstrations of early trial versions or safety tests were not forthcoming at press time.
    Popeye, the intrepid sailorman behind this venture, has stated that consumers may soon be able to purchase the new high-profile bioplug device under the brand name Addicts of Clutch City Everywhere Surrounding Space or ACCESS Plug.
    A cheaper version of this alpha model is being planned. Called Basketballers United Through Technology or B.U.T.T. Plugs,they will initially be offered free of charge to some selected clutchcity.net posters who he describes as mostly likeable, but are sometimes "... real pains in the ass."
