I wish I had ever gotten a chance to see MJ play in person. Dammit. I did see Pippen, and he blew me away. I can only imagine Jordan in his prime.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I did. Sorta. (Our seats were one row down from the very top of the arena.)

My can-do spirit would be lifted a lot by the U.S. actually playing well.
Clearly you don't understand the concept of a positive mental attitude. You only have to Be Positive.
The only name song that plagued my youth was Quinn the Eskimo. Quinn is my middle name. The main annoyance about being called Ginger is the number of times people have asked me about Mary Ann.

The only good thing about being a Detroit fan when I was there was that the Pistons seats behind the benches were pretty damned cheap because the team sucked rocks. So we got to see a lot of good visiting teams right up close and personal. Just...they traded Rodman and Jordan retired just as I moved there.
However, having my hair colour at the time and sitting behind the Spurs Bench in the mid 90s gets you some weird looks from the team.

I never saw MJ, but I saw the Lakers v. the Sixers when the Lakers were Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Rambis, Nixon and the Sixers were Dr. J., Dawkins, Mo Cheeks, Andrew Toney.
I saw the Doctor take off from the top of the key, then double pump tomahawk jam. Awesomecakes.
Toney and Nixon were on fire that night. Nixon had something like 48 and Toney had 51. Something like that. Total defense-free shootout.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Fred is not a good name for songs.
Are you familiar with Once Upon A Mattress? I can't find this song from the Carol Burnett version. [link]

Okay, really stupid question:
FCM?? I think I've figured out what F and M stand for, but what's C? Or, just to be safe.... someone explain this game, I'm confused =)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There's a song in Grease called "Freddy My Love."
