Also:
"Cleveland reserve Scot Pollard, on what the Cavaliers could expect in return for him in a trade: 'Cleveland would take a 12-pack in return. They wouldn't just take anything like Keystone Light. It would have to be one of those expensive Belgian beers.'"
I love the NBA. Our guys are genuinely funny.
What kind of freaking person spells "Scott" with one "t"?
Don't the parents get the blame for that?
He's also on drugs.
He's a man of the people. My general sense is that the kids today are more likely to treat pot like tobacco (or even as a lesser evil). So "on drugs" may yield the wrong impression.
A respectable person would use another t whatever his birth certificate said, to avoid embarrassing his parents or their memory. This wouldn't have been permitted in Germany.

nattarGcM?
He's just evening out the universe, which was put into an imbalance by Efraím Rios Montt and Tempestt Bledsoe.
Dude, that second picture is awesome. Who smokes more pot: Pollard, Bill Walton today, or Bill Walton of yesteryear?
Damn. That's an excellent set of photos. This should be the illustration for the Editors "Sum of all Cracker Fears." And, jeebus, Calvin Boo/th is an ugly motherfucker.
I've always wondered if Scott Pollard was related in any way to Israeli super-spy Jonathan Pollard
B, pay attention. It's Scot.
Also, "B" is Bitch's nickname, for those of us who like to reserve "Bitch" for actual cursing use.
Emerson, you'd be the greatest high-school teacher ever.
8: the kids today are more likely to treat pot like tobacco
Which is weird, because more and more it seems like all weed is wheelchair weed.
"B" knows from high-school teachers, if I remember correctly. We had a wonderful sub at my high school, who was worthless as a teacher but who could be induced to tell stories about his service in WWI.
I'd just like to note that when I was 25 I never would have believed it possible that I might someday be helping protect the nice cute widdle CIA from poopy mean people.
Possibly related to Emerson's change of life -- what the hell is "wheelchair weed"?
The one of Cherokee Parks is easily the best.
re: 22
I presume the sort of super-strong stuff that leaves you needing wheeled transport ....
That's what I assume. But they don't use the phrase much in North Essex.
re: 25
yeah -- combinations of words involving 'mong' and 'whitey' would feature where I am from.
It seems the Syracuse airport does indeed have free wireless. Departing flights, not so much.
Good luck, Teo. I'm thinking of you.
25,26 `wheelchair' was (is?) common in the pacific north west, anway.
I remember reading an article about Vancouver's hydroponics, which at the time (still?) were consistently turning out the worlds strongest weed. The guys analysis had it averagint at 50 times the expected THC content of an average joint youd find in `the sixties', if I recall correctly.
I saw "wheelchair weed" and instantly assumed it meant the low-powered stuff only suitable for medicinal use by people in wheelchairs.
29: I think Holland has the honour of the world's strongest weed, but Vancouver is certainly still turning out some strong stuff and hydro operations elsewhere don't seem to be far behind.
31: Well, at the time (late 80's maybe early 90's) some biochemist did a study. I don't know how exhaustive it was, but it was singling out particularly Vancouver's hydro as leading the pack. No idea how things stack up these days.
Anyway, the main point of that was the shift from gentle recreational smoke circa 1967 vs. knock you on your ass for a few hours circa 1987.
Not that I know of, but I just got here.
It seems my flight is delayed. Good thing I have a long layover, though I'm a little concerned that it's at O'Hare.
That sounds like a message from an animal psychology themed text adventure game.
That it does. I chatted with her a little about how hard it is to fly through Chicago, which we are about to do.
> Fly to Chicago.
Your flight has been delayed.
--go to new york
Your flight is delayed.
-- reroute flight.
You wish.
-- try O'Hare terminal
O'Hare has not yet figured out that it is in a city that occasionally has weather. Your flight is delayed.
--try Midway
You're not really serious about leaving town, are you? Your flight is delayed.

That's not very nice.
Why, thank you. I hate flying. Especially when you're stuck for two and a half hours on a plane before it takes off because of weather.
Samurai Night Fever! Scot Pollard is enormously underappreciated.
Oh, and you gotta go with the name you've got. It'll only go the worse for you if you try to cover it up. I say this as a former "Alex".
