Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Ro-Beer!!!

It offends me that you've apparently offended someone!

Happy Birthday, Phil!

Happy late Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!!

Oh man, I remember those days - Mark Aguirre, Rolando Blackman. Adrian Dantley. Some good ball back then.

Heretic!

Way to go Mavericks! The better TEAM certainly won the championship. Miami may have a better collection of talent, but that don't matter if they don't have heart or chemistry. (said as someone who generally likes Dwyane Wade, and was impressed by Chris Bosh and Chalmers).

:tup Way to go Shawn. Go get 'em in L.A.!

All the best, Kevin!

I like that album cover, though it's certainly not "dark" like I'd expect. October 4th in Austin. Hmmm...Tuesday night, that part sucks.

Happy Birthday!

Going to miss your posts here, Shawn. You've got friends out here that care about you. And you have repaid friendship and camaraderie, whether you realize it or not. Like Paul, this board helped see me through my divorce in 2004, and some depression afterward. It's a great group of people here that supported and offered energy that I didn't have enough of. One thing I've come to slowly realize as I've gotten a little older is that my life isn't so much about accomplishments and goals as it is about the relationships I have, and how special they are to me. You're a part of us, and I expect you back when you're ready.

Well, you're part of this little online community... and I'm sure I'm not the only one that's glad you're here. Thanks for all the great music recommendations. Hang in there, man. Late to this thread, but next time I'm in Austin and have some time I'd like to buy ya a beer. I've truly enjoyed what you've brought to this board - music wise and other. I've bought Mosaics from you, and learned about alot of music from your posts that I'd have never explored otherwise. Non-illegitimus carborundum.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ray!

While it may not make sense to you, there is a sizable portion of the population that lost respect for James when he put on that tv show (not just press coverage of an announcement, but an actual show hyping himself up). He was perhaps the most popular NBA star prior to changing teams, and now it's a different story. Why couldn't he have tried to win it all in Cleveland? They got to the NBA Finals with him and a bunch of lesser players, only to lose to the Spurs. Recruit one good player to Cleveland (which should have been easy, many would have been willing to play alongside James), and that probably would have put them over the top. Instead, he opted for the selfish "ME ME ME" alternative, and put on a big production to announce his back-turning on Cleveland. Looked like in his mind he was bigger than the sport. I like Dwyane Wade, and will be happy for him (and Haslem) should they win, but won't be rooting for James.

I don't think it's the fact he left that bugs most people - I'd rather play with Wade than with Anderson Varejao too - it's how he did it. Athletes change teams left and right in this era, so he's no different in that regard. But to put on a huge show on ESPN, toy with the hometown fans who had never had a winner, be the face of Cleveland (what other sports star can you think of from Cleveland in the past 40 years?), and then to dump them and "take your talents" to Miami? That cost him a lot of respect, for many people. edit - was typing this when Nojjy posted, but pretty much agree with everything he said, obviously!

Tuscaloosa, Alabama - 28 May 11

All the best, Jim! Thanks for everything you do here for us.

How is it unprovoked when you provoke him in the previous post?
