Where...where...where am I?

The last I recall, "Our Heroes" were apparently cruising to yet another championship, waiting to feast on a sumptuopus Piston-flavored repast...after that, I don't remember a thing!  Now, I return to "Reality" to find that (above all) Shaq Daddy has been traded to Miami (!), Phil has left and since returned, Karl is retired (at last), and "Kobme" is a has-been almost-felon!  Dang...things have certainly changed, and it's only been two years, not 20!

Anyweay, I'm back...go 'head, dis L.A. all you want - I do, myself!

Rolando!
I'm glad to see you're still with us.
I was worried that you had gone out and killed somebody after the Pistons Finals.

Dude!! It is great to see you again! You can't get away with this last post, where have you been, what have you been up to, and how have you been? Are you out on probation or parole? (Just kidding)

Welcome back, we've missed you.

Dont worry we dont pick on the Lakers too much here...with the exception of Reality that is.  the rest of us know they arent what they used to be so we dont usually waste our time on them..  Glad to have you back though.  hope you decide to stick around this time.

Hey y'all!

First of all, Reality - thanks for getting me healthy...I am still juicing, although I cannot say I have developed a taste for wheatgrass even after all this time!

Yes, things are not what they used to be for we die-hard LAL fans...even the once-lowly Clippers routinely kick boot on the Lakers now, and worse yet it goes unremarked!  Dang...

My son is doing quite well in school, thank you...a 4.1 GPA and great SAT2 results...even so, Stanford appears doubtful.  Actually, that is what has taken all of my non-work related time...it's not easy keeping a teenager motivated and focused on the prize!  Argghhh...

I am glad to be back...and seeing that my old buddy jn is still posting does my aging heart good!

I have many stories to tell you about what has gone down in the interim period...I will be bringing you up-to-date in the coming days.  Laters!

RB!  I thought you were dead.  Dang, there goes my plan to steal your identity.

Great to have you back.  Hopefully it won't be another 2 years before your next post.  

P.S. I started using wheatgrass about 6 years ago and I still have to slam it down fast to avoid tasting it.

RB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes things have changed and yes its painful but thats the name of the game right? You win some, you lose some.  We always have arguments, like JoMaL and I had, that can help us remember the good ol days of the Shaq/Kobe era LOL.

BUT aside from that

I am very glad you are still around and popping up.  I miss your brand of posting.

Btw, The Diesel is a cop in Broward County now making a buck a year...might want to get pulled over to grab that signature!!

Rolando, old bean, how's it going.

Good to see you back on the board. Several posters have mentioned missing you for some reason, during your self-imposed exile. I, of course, secretly was relieved that another Laker fan was not present, to further douse the flames of diversity.

And what would you guys do without me? Wheatgrass is much more medicinal if you smoke it. Are all you SoCal Laker losers suffering from Valley Girl Fever, or something?

Smoking Wheatgrass helps numb the sensation you get when your team lets a backdoor lob play be ran on them 8 times in one game.  The fact it lowers your stress level is how it is good for you.

What's up Rolando Blackman, good to see you on the board again.  

Did you here Shaq is a cop in Miami now, too.  I dunno if I were him I'd want a raise, $1 a year.  He's getting screwed, man.  7'1, 330 pounds of cop, I wouldn't want to catch him in a dark alley with a TV in my arms.  Heck, not even in a well-lit alley.

7'1, 330 pound cop with a gun. :eek2:
