Topical Chat, December 20, 2006

So, now that Iverson is gone, do ya think the Sixers have a shot of unloading Webber? Yeah, neither did I.

1. On the Vatican considering starting a soccer team:
“And your starting forward, Jesus!”

2. On a Chinese budget airline that sold tickets for as little as 13 U.S. cents being fined for violating government price controls:
“To my knowledge, this is the world’s first plane without wings … an engine …and a captain.”
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/12/18/cheap.tix.ap/index.html

3. On a 3-month-old baby that was left unattended in a shopping cart for about an hour Sunday when her parents accidentally left her behind:”This reminds me of a joke I once heard … What do you call the sweat between two people in West Virginia having sex? Relative Humidity.”
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2738523

4. On a man who lost 125 pounds in order to become a deputy:
“I’m just wondering where he buried his wife …”
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2738319

5. On 32 baby Jesus dolls that were stolen from nativity scenes found in a yard:
“Because 30 of ‘em just weren’t enough …”
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2738389

6. On a North Carolina woman who was arrested after complaining to a police officer that the crack cocaine she had just purchased wasn't very good:
“Looks like she may be next in line for Larry Coker’s job.”
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2736059

7. On police arresting a woman after finding marijuana in a Christmas card she tried to give her jailed boyfriend:
“Later on, the cops inexplicably passed out after eating a record number of crème filled donuts.”
http://abcnews.go.com/US/LegalCenter/wireStory?id=2735447

8. On Scottish troops having to share sacred ceremonial kilts:
“I’m really hoping that (a) they are washed, and (b) when they mean ‘share’, they don’t mean at the same time.”

I guess hoping to trade both Iverson and Webber to Isiah Thomas for the Knicks' 1st round pick, then draft Greg Oden AND Joakim Noah, was greedy.

At least Stephen A.I. Smith will now disappear for a while.

1. Jesus saves. He's the goalie.

2. The Workers' Paradise: keeping prices artificially high for the working man.

3. They're living the opening credits of The Simpsons.

4. Good for him. But this reminds me of the 192-lb female cops in PHL who flunk every physical test and still get badges.

4a. Nate Newton would have to lose 125 lb of pot to become a deputy.

5. Yet another way to bypass the line at the gates of Hell.

6. Clearly, NC needs to mandate ISO 9000 standards for crack labs.

7. Proof that they're criminals because they're dumber than the rest of us.

8. That's like making French troops share cheese!

Number 1 I love - number 8 I love that it's a story from Scotland that I've never heard!

The big day is almost here! Woo!

A.I.??? Meh.

1. Joseph passes to Ezekiel, Ezekiel kicks towards the goal... and... and... IT'S HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY!!!!!
Team Vatican wins in overtime!!!

2. Over in China, some airlines are redefining the word 'plane' for the word 'catapult'.

3. Let's see, got the diapers, baby food, formula, squeaky toys, baby powder.... what am I missing??? I know I'm missing something.

4. Whew... that's alot of weight.

5. Why do they call it the Nativity anyway??? Native to what?

6. Idiot.

7. Mmmmmm... donuts.

8. Actually, it's one HUGE kilt that the troops all wear at once.

C-Webb: In 1992 (While at UM) I thought he'd end up as the greatest "4" ever to play the game. Eclipsing KMalone, KMcHale, Bob Petit, and EHayes. He has fallen just a tad.... I thought I was the only one that didn't dig Screamin' A Smith... Think what kind of QB Jesus would be. I heard he was 6-5 and about 200 lbs. His toughness is also fairly well documented I must say.

Regarding the Sixers.
Baby steps Los... Baby steps.
Maybe in eight - ten years from now we'll win it all.
