Larry Brown sucks.

Will Fugee have duel citizenship?

I think it's a great idea. I wasn't planning on ever going to South Carolina anyway. I don't think their economy will be that strong, though, since the only currency denomination available to every citizen will be this:

Because he didn't foul Shaq? I don't see that as a big mistake. Of course the way it played out it would have been better, but still relying on defense is why the Pistons are there. Chauncey took a stupid shot the play before- that was the mistake. But overall, game 2 increased my confidence level. I think there'll be a series.

Secession
 

I'm not a big fan of the south, but Charleston is a pretty cool city, FWIW.

Confidential to Hank
 

Well, they pretty much assured themselves of that in the last minute of last night. Funny thing is, if Kobe misses the three, there's no question Phil Jackson sucks. He was sitting on the bench like it was a 20-point lead with 10 seconds left. Oh, "let's get a timeout". Nice work. BTW, did I miss the Lakers' free-agent signing of the Celtics' leprechaun? I assume that little bastard is doing a Karl Malone and just flitting about looking for a ring.

Secession
 

Out of curiosity, does Texas qualify as "the south"?

YAO!

Foul Shaq. You're up 3 with seconds left? If Shaq touches the ball for .2 seconds, fucking foul him. I just don't get it.

Shaq on the uncontested shot or Kobe at the end. They had TWO team fouls. Kobe even thought they were going to foul him rather then let him get off an open 3 (he said this after the game)...

Or at least get Teyshaun on Kobe.

Before you get too hasty about this, I must tell you they have some rather nice golf courses there.

No. Texas is its own country. And I don't really like IT either, but I haven't seen enough of it to form a true opinion. I love Austin though, which apparently isn't Texas.

I've never been to Dallas, Houston or San Antonio. So, like I said, my experiences are limited. I'm sure my opinion of Texas as being a haven for insecure rednecks who buy pick-up trucks and own guns b/c "that's what REAL men do" is just as exaggerated as a Texan's opinion of a big-city northerner as a tree-hugging hippie commie...

Confidential to Hank
 

I thought Shaq would be shooting if they fouled him. He was hitting his free throws. He could hit one and bounce two, and then things are outside Pistons control. If you're saying they had fouls to give maybe they should have fouled someone/not Kobe. You run the risk of someone forcing a shot if you do foul. And Kobe didn't have an open 3. He had a tough shot. I agree Prince should have been on him- I'm not sure what that was about.

But overall Larry has done a great job. Did you think Game 2 would be close? I didn't.

Secession
 

Parts of it, yes. Other parts, not so much.

Texas is a big country. Like Australia.

eta: Damn you , Coltrane...

So you are thinkin your opinion is pretty safe having not been to the three largest cities in the state (and three of the largest in the US)?

"I think New York is full of cows and river barges, but of course I've never been to New York City or Buffalo or Albany."

Secession
 

You're right. But I assume that Hilton Head would remain ours. You know. As a good faith gesture and so we can keep an eye on them.

I actually forgot that I've been to Hilton Head. Nice courses, but I'd sacrifice it if more jesus freaks would move there.

You do a TX tour, visiting all the FB Texans. Be sure to bring an appliance or two.

Secession
 

Um no. That's why I said that my opinion is exaggerated and that I haven't seen enough of Texas to form a true opinion. But apparently they substituted beer can shooting for reading comprehension in your redneck elementary school.

Secession
 

I thought you had plenty of these. Can't I just bring batteries for them?

Secession
 

It'll never happen. Too many retired jews live there. And they have the best tee times.

You gotta give some to get some.

Yessum, but I was edumacated in the tree hugging commie North. Go figure.

I thought that one of the basic tenets of the FB was to not throw around biased opinions and to not use stereotypes against people. Right?

Secession
 

Nice sig line. Are you on the couch or does she let you sleep on the chaise?

Secession
 

Don't forget the no mocking rule and the "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" rule.

Secession
 

I'm not sure that spending time in Albany would change this opinion. And, sadly, I also doubt that it is in the top 3 for population.

Secession
 

I was being Flowerironic re: my stereotypical jab at your education.

And you're correct. Paigow initiated that basic tenet.

PSA: The views expressed by young grasshopper Coltrane do not necessarily reflect the views of the management of the Chicago board.

Especially since said management has clients in Texas and has a sister marrying into a large family of Texans soon...

Secession
 

They will be too polite to hit your sister when they find out all Chicagoans hate and look down upon Texans. They will probably kick YOUR ass, though.

If you repent, they may buy you a beer or five after the ass-kicking is completed.

Secession
 

I think your average city person could kick the crap out of your average redneck.

Secession
 

okay, Gilbert. or is it Louis?

Secession
 

Poindexter.

Actually, probably Booger...

Secession
 

I'm perfectly willing to broker a peace here, but I will NEVER, EVER hand over Coltrane to be tortured...

(except for maybe a side of beef and a pan of that ridiculously expensive chocolate stuff)

Secession
 

It's Aloha, not an average city person, against a "huge Texas family."

Your reading comprehension is really not up to snuff. Perhaps you went to the same crap northern schools as Mr. Man.

Secession
 

Yeah. I feel sorry for them.

(Actually, they say they like me. To my face at least...)

Secession
 

That's because they don't yet know that you despise Texas and everything in it.

Secession
 

Cool. Then we can have a close third world nation to export manufacturing jobs to. The rednecks there are doing a damn good job putting bimmers together, why not have the kiddies sew baseballs or something while they pray.

Secession
 

Did they teach trying to bait everyone into a ridiculous debate at Mr. Man's school?

And you don't become the Sausage King by being a pussy.

Secession
 

Trust me, since familiarity breeds contempt, there's a hell of a lot more Chicagoans that I despise...

Secession
 

Was the double entendre there intentional?

Question
 

Isn't that what they decided during the impeachment hearings?

eta I was trying to avoid using the terms "Impeachment" and/or Clinton in order to avoid the resurrection of any Clinton-bashing socks. The highschooler thing was a shout-out to Coltrane.

Double what? I don't speak Spanish.
