Funny What's Hot/What's Not - Summer edition

December 2k5

Sort of like Good Morning Australia summer edition..

What's Hot

  • DC's new line of "Say no to sedition" t-shirts. Order yours today and be in a secret CIA European prison being tortured tomorrow!
  • Word on the streets is KB plays a nasty game of pool at Glenelg apparently.
  • Eva and her blog She did spell Brett Maher as Mahyer however. Guess she must have gone to an American uni .
  • Yao Ming leading all centres in the league with 19.4 ppg. Take that haters! We stand tall like Yao Ming.
  • The Navy Seals and the Paul Rees Posse. Hopefully Bizzy in a skirt didn't scare too many young children last week.
  • The Upper Deck of the Powerhouse actually having people in seats again.
  • Lanard Copeland reaching 10,000 points in the NBL. Take off the last 0 and you have Lanard's age
  • Paul Bauer, doing a great job.
  • Nightclubs which allow basketballs on the dance floor (New York bar and grill).
  • Telling And 1 players to "get f----d mate".
  • Women who want men to pay the full dinner bill on a date. Getting on my soapbox, but I'm all for equality. But with greater rights comes responsibility, which includes paying for half the bill! The tradition of men paying started when women were treated as second class citizens. I feel if individual women don't want to pay for half the bill, those individual women should also lose their right to suffrage on the spot. Hopefully by the new year we will have electoral commission officers in every restaurant to police this rule.
  • The Lighting winning games in over-time. Where are the haters now?
  • Andy Thomas speaking at the opening of the new Adelaide airport terminal about the time he had to tell fellow Russian astronaut Vladimir to "get f-----d" after he stole the last packet of M & Ms. Thomas: "It wouldn't be a problem if we were on Earth, since I would go to the corner store and buy another pack, but THIS IS SPACE PEOPLE!"
  • Also while on the topic of gender relations DC doesn't hold doors open for anybody.
  • Lee How Fook (never ate there, just a cool name).
  • My brother's band Fingerprince playing before an Inxs and U2 cover band at Earth nightclub tonight. $15 entry.


What's Not
  • Terry Stotts. Has an All-Star centre and a potential All-Star centre shooting over 50% and he runs an offence only giving Bogut 6 shots per game.
  • The American college system according to Joe . Apparently being able to sit thru the final episode of ER for the season earns you a medical degree.
  • "And while you're at the merchandise stand, why not pick up some And 1 official extra small condoms. As endorsed by AO for playas with no game."
  • The bouncer at Red Square not letting us jump the queue after claiming to know Mark Davis. DC: "Yeah um, my man Mark Davis said to meet him here, or if he's not here just talk to you or something." Bouncer: "FK off man. Yeah right, like you're with Mark Davis." DC: "I'm telling you now man, get Mark Davis out here right now, Mark is going to be pissed when he hears about this!"
  • Speaking to white try-hards with doo-rags and spray painted silver chains at the And 1 after party: DC "So what did you think of the game mate?" Try-hard with Bullets throw-back jersey on: "It was aaaiiii!" DC: "It was what?" Try-hard: "It was aaaiiii!" Guess dude must have had a hard life growing up without his dead homies from Burnside. Keep drinking that Jin and Juice try-hard.
  • "And while you're at the And 1 merchandise stand, why not pick up the official And 1 valium to help you enjoy watching this absolute crap-fest."
  • "Also while at the merchandise stand, why not pick up the official And 1 pregnancy test. Because even having sex with the creepy guy sitting next to you with genital herpes is probably more exciting and less painful than watching the rest of this game."
  • 50 cent coming to Adelaide. As Chuck D said, there is something disturbing about having 18,500 white kids in his concert in Sydney last year screaming "Die N----- die". Plus his music sucks.
  • Almost being killed by a mother taking her daughter to the Hilary Duff concert last Friday before the Perth game. After having to pull my handbrake to avoid her when she cut into my lane she pulled up next to me at the lights and called me "a p---k". Hilary Duff is therefore clearly evil and should be hanged in a Singapore jail.
  • Peter Crawford, is his game really that good? Handles the rock like he's never seen one before and seemingly is very hot and cold with his jumpshot, (needs to have his feet set before receiving to have any chance). Over-rated.


DC doing his Christmas shopping:
  • Seeming as no one I know has a e-mail address for Mark Davis this is a serious request. If anyone has an old Club 33 t-shirt lying around they don't want I am willing to pay up to $5 for one for a Christmas present to give to someone I don't like, (no it's not you Nyberg). If you don't want to leave your e-mail address on this thread simply pass your details onto Isaac with the subject header "Double Clutch hates you" and I'll get back to you. Edit:Forgot to say I will pick them up if needed, just in case the person who has a box full of them in his garage doesn't have a licence.


Flop of the month:
  • It's a tie. Brian G and his handling of the Boomers. Is it really necessary to run such a hard training camp in the middle of NBL season when preparing for a Commonwealth games with such powerhouse teams as England? Sure both Jacob and Oscar will have down games this week. Does Adam Caporn (7ppg and 4apg really similar numbers to Jason Williams best season) deserve a spot in front of Gary Boodnikoff (16ppg and 5rpg at 51%FT and 53% 3PT)? Can't concessions be allowed so that a player carrying a chronic injury such as Stephen Black can make it thru training camps? Brian is a great coach at club level, but I feel his lack of flexibility may cost the Boomers in the future. Basically just for picking Adam Coporn Brian = Flop. The other flop is the handling of the All-star game. Shawn "no flair" Redhage? The NBL seemingly picking whoever they wanted anyway and leaving out Rashad Tucker? NBL selection process = flop.


R.I.P.
  • Big Kev.
  • Van Nguyen.
  • Latino Heat.
  • Pat Morita a.k.a. Mr Miagi in Karate Kid
  • Remember to pour a little liquor for our lost homies this weekend.


Players launching so many bricks they are in the housing business:
  • Ben Thompson, shooting at 19% from the field in 4 games.
  • Ben Castle 3ppg at 24%, 22% 3PT and a blistering 63% FT.
  • Glen Saville shooting 38%. Not as bad as others but an Australian co-captain?
  • Robert Rose shooting at 34% from the field, which is roughly half the bloke's age.

GOLD DC, pure GOLD! Glad to see I got a mention in the what's hot as oppose to the what's not - what would you have done if Booga was the cheerleader?

If Booga was dressed as a cheerleader I'm sure the Dome would have seen the biggest mass sucicide since the Heaven's gate cult.

Amen to that - he does have confidence issues IMO.

Size doesn't really matter when it comes to the t-shirt. If you e-mail Isaac with your details I'm ready to talk business.

DC, those white gangsters you spoke about:

Speaking to white try-hards with doo-rags and spray painted silver chains at the And 1 after party: DC "So what did you think of the game mate?" Try-hard with Bullets throw-back jersey on: "It was aaaiiii!" DC: "It was what?" Try-hard: "It was aaaiiii!" Guess dude must have had a hard life growing up without his dead homies from Burnside. Keep drinking that Jin and Juice try-hard.


Think you may have already met Joe Schmoe!

Great to see DC back after popular demand!

Wait a minute??? I believe I was the one who asked for him to be back!

Also, big time respect for DC adding in a "R.I.P." bit.

Eddie Guerrero "LATINO HEAT" and Pat Morita will be sadly missed!

Wax on, Wax off!
Viva La Raza!

re Women who want men to pay the full dinner bill on a first date.

DC, I've got a little advice here, from me to you.

If a woman INSISTS on paying for half the date, it means she never wants to see you again.

It's quite simple really. If a woman never wants to see you again, she will try her hardest to pay for her own way on the date so she feels like she doesn't owe anyone anything and can leave with a good conscience.

If she lets you pay, then that means that SHE will pay for the second or third follow up date.

It's the game baby. Pay for the first date and you'll be in with another one.

VC fan - i think your answer can be found in this thread. In particular my post (#46508) about 5/6ths of the way down.

VC Fan, find out Isaac's last name (shouldn't be too hard), then look through the Sixers roster and see if you can find a match. (brother).

VC fan, hate to spoil Dunkenstein's masterly riddles with facts, but here you go:

Hoops SA is a side project I run in my spare time. I'm a web developer. My company is Triplezero. My car is "sick" but not in the good way, definitely in a bad way. My connection to basketball is having a couple of related clients (Sixers [in the past], Sturt, Academy, this site), following the Sixers, and having my younger brother play the sport. You may see me at Sixers games or ABL games in the off-season.

Lucky for you Mr Clutch, my academic jurisdiction does not stretch to this Forum. If it did, I assure you, you would not receive your not customary "Hot/Not" extension. I certainly hope your enrolment's next year do not collide with my teachings or we could be in for a very interesting semester.

Yours truly

Dr Professor

I think you'll find I have friends in very high places.

Watch your step professor, being put on the "not" list has ruined many an academic.
