Given that the most anyone would expect from w-lfs-n is he could spell "basketball," I'm pretty sure I just did.

Hey, that's not true! I make a pretty damn good basketball goalie—once I even scored a touchdown!

I thought you called it a 'try' in b-ball.

No, a "try" is a term from competitive diving. It's related to bends research; you try for another ell, coming up at the same rate, and see if you get bent. Most of the charts divers use to avoid getting bent were worked out through try ell and error.

Ah, so that's where the old saying "give 'em an inch, and they'll take the conversation straight to ell" comes from.

Actually you need about 45 inches.

On the other nand: SUNS WIN! SUNS WIN! SUNS WIN! So happy. And, to be honest, a little drunk. Mmm, buttery nipples.
