The Coffee Clutch

[JG4tr]

By the way, I've kinda been slacking on making additions to my friends list lately and we've undergone quite a little growth spurt here recently so, everyone please feel to send me a FR if you haven't already.

Sometimes I can get engrossed in a project and won't want to break away for online racing but, I'll try to make myself a little more 'available' and the leaderboards are always a plus...

As I mentioned in fndr's D Class Enduro post a few minutes ago, I'm in the Arizona time zone ( no daylight savings time! ) and only run in the evenings after my little one goes to bed.

I'm on most nights, even if my status says offline, unless I'm watching a Sun's game or hangin out with the missus.

< aside >  I can't believe that the Sun's are actually considering trading for Shaq!

[fndrbndr]

Yeah, that's big news here in Orlando too, What with him starting his career here and, we thought, ending it down in Miami.  Interesting, but that's about all I can do to comment on it, since as a relatively short, fat, white guy who can't jump, basketball isn't really my game.

[JG4tr]

I don't play but, I sure do enjoy watching Nash, Stoudemire and the gang work their magic on the floor. With the fast pace of the Sun's game, I can't see Shaq as being even able to get up and down the floor with his tired body.

The last two seasons he's spent more time injured, on the bench collecting his millions, than he has on the court. He never has been a shooter and is always a liability at the freethrow line.

The only way that I see him as helping the Suns, is if they find a way to turn back the clock 10 years and make him 26, healthy, and a powerhouse down low like he used to be.....

All I can say is until Sha

Edit: You caught me...hit the wrong button.

What I meant to say was until Shaq has his own movie with Looney Tunes characters he will always just be a poser.

Now, that wasn't even worth the effort, was it?

Until Sha....

How profound....hehe.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Well, even though he's not the player he was 10 years ago, he gives them a better half court game.  The Warriors have the same weakness (Weber "might" help a bit there now), but I love when the Suns and Warriors hook up, but you feel like you need a shower afterwards too from all the trips up and down the floor...

Now, wait a minute, what about "Kazaam" and "Steel". Talk about your instant classics!

Wasn't there a movie called "Shaq Fu" or, did I just dream that?? Maybe it was just an exercise video but, you can just tell from the title, that it would be a blockbuster.   

[fndrbndr]

I think Shaq Fu was actually a video game.  I saw it on a recent worst celebrity video games ever list.

[JG4tr]

Boy am I beat!

I'm hoping that it stays quiet here at work today. I've been burning the midnight oil this week, or to be more accurate, the wee hours of the morning oil, what with the D class challenge and all and now I've got the folks flying into town this afternoon to stay with us for 4 days.

I may have to do the smart thing and just retire early tonight...

[JG4tr]

Morning everyone.

I'm bummed that I didn't get any Forza time at all this weekend and it may be a couple more days before I do. Not only have we had house guests since Friday but, our two year old came down with a bad cold Saturday morning which leaves her cranky during the day and leaves everyone having trouble sleeping at night. It will probably be a couple more days before things settle down at home, meanwhile at work one of my co-workers is out all week at training so ,I'll be expected to do my job and some of his in his absence.

I'll probably be maintaining a lower presence than usual for a little while as a result.

Sorry to hear that, man.  In the meantime, hope things go well for you, and send me an FR when you get back on.  GT = fndrbndr79.  I don't think I have you on my list yet.

[DirtDriver]

Get well soon to the little one, Jay.

[fndrbndr]

Scratch that...you're on there.  Still hope everything else gets sorted, though.

[JG4tr]

Thanks for the kind wishes guys.

@fndr    I had added you last week in the hope that I'd be able to join your enduro Friday night. I'm sorry that I didn't make it. I look forward to having another opportunity again soon though...

[fndrbndr]

Yeah, caught that after I posted the message.
