This is a goddamn work of performance art. It's as if Andy Kaufman chose basketball as his milieu rather than professional wrestling. I can't look away.

Reminded of stories, apocraphyl perhaps, that W&M hoops players in 1980s and '90s headed to CAA Tournament with no change of clothes for weekend and only stuff for spring break after inevitable first-round loss. Only this check-out is a couple weeks early.
nice free throw percentage.
oh and nice work whit, just noticed gheorghemas day 12. i knew it felt like gheorghemas (especially with a new spoon album!)
Quick check of record book shows Tribe with fewest points in a game since 1946 -- 33-24 loss to Little Creek Amphibious Base. That game may have been played underwater.
I refuse to believe that "Little Creek Amphibious Base" is a real thing
Their early stuff was real, before they went commercial.
Little Creek Amphibious Base is 15 minutes from my house. They have a plaque from that ‘46 defensive performance.
So that's a no on going to see LCD Soundsystem? Bummer. I've always wanted to see them.
In other concert news, Rage Against the Machine and Run The Jewels are going on tour this year. I'm planning on going to a show in D.C. is the Teej will have me. Other VA peeps...interested?
Also, the Bahamas are good and frozen drinks are bueno
Oh man. I miss the Bahamas. Not sure I'm ever getting on a cruise ship again though. May just have to hop on a short flight.
i'd love to go that rage/rtj show
I’m with you on the cruise ship thing. We flew in Wednesday and fly out Sunday.
The Miami Vice bev, also known as Junkanoo Rush, also known as half strawberry daiquiri half pina colada with a ton is rum… goodness it’s good.
So Rob is in. Show's in August (2nd & 3rd) by the way. Now if I can just get TJ to respond to my texts, I'll buy some tickets.
I have responded, assface
Teedge smash!!
Hell of a day in the salt mine for TJ. I'm just trying to buy some tickets before I head down to the beach. Sheesh.
Dude on the beach asked us to take a pic of him and his peeps. And then he stayed and now is playing spikeball with our drunk gang. And it’s Jason Williams. And he said, “I’m playing on one leg so you guys should win.”
Bahamas!
whoa whoa whoa whoa
Jason Williams?
or JAYSON Williams?
Jason. Not white chocolate
Jay
So not White Chocolate
not the guy who killed a limo driver
but the guy who ruined his career in a motorcycle accident?
Glad we could get this straightened out
Yep. And he lost at spikeball to our friends. And then laughingly said let’s go play a real sport… like basketball.
Not the Jason Williams from Monroe First West 1992-93?
nazare is yoooge right now
Would have been in for rage/ rtj but will be at the beach those days. Bummer.
at a cheer event that has 1,400 teams, 27,000 athletes, and 54,000 spectators. it’s a lot.
how does rage/rtj line up with obft? i would go if they were in the same vicinity . . .
Rage/RTJ are playing shows at MSG after the two on DC as well, Dave.
drinking a breakfast old fashioned. things could get interesting.
Hey Mark, FWIW, LCD Soundsystem is supposed to be musical guest on SNL tonight, with Mulaney as host.
Saw TR in his new CO digs. It was good to catch up and wish I had more time.
Snow at Copper and Vail was pretty good.
my kidlet turns 18 today. my wife and i have now raised a pair of adults. pretty, pretty good.
Congratulations, Rob. Hope you found a good place in Dallas to celebrate.
OBX Dave- thanks for the SNL heads up. I missed it because my wife and I had friends in town visiting from New Jersey and we met up with them and a bunch of other friends at a local watering hole. As luck would have it, my parents showed up to the same place because one of their favorite local bands were playing there (my parents favorite thing is to go out and dance- they're fantastic dancers- to bands they like). Long story short, we had a great time. Did an Irish exit around midnight. My Mom ordered a double Jameson to end her night and she's feeling it today.
today is also mr kq’s birthday. he’s older than my kid. cheers, ken!
Flying back to Virginia after four solid days of drinking (predominately big rum beverages) and celebrating friends in the Bahamas. My liver is so angry with me that he asked to be moved to a different seat apart from me.
Happy Belated Birthday, Mr. KQ.
If there is an extra for Rage/RTJ I might be a taker.
