Its Okay to root for Somebody to fail.

My wife and i were discussing that it somehow does not feel right to root for somebody else to fail and for a few minutes I kind of accepted that. But in Lebron Jame's case I am going to make an ardent exception.

These were the comments of King James after his epic fail in game six of the playoffs.

All the people that was rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today,” James said. “They have the same personal problems they had today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that.

Okay your royal highness. You made an assumption when you brought your talents to South Beach that you would just win a title. It is something you were entitled to. You also make an assumption
 that everybody who does live your life has a life worse than yours.That simply is not the case. Yes we all have the same problems we had yesterday. So do you King James. You are still a tool and think you are entitled to a life better than everybody else and hopefully you learned you are not entitled to an NBA title. You still have to make the foul shots and play defense for a full 48 minutes.

But we not only rooted for King James to fail. We were happy to see Dallas win a championship. Dallas paid its dues and played as a team. They beat our Portland Trail Blazers on the way to the championship. My initial response was not to root for Dallas, but one the Portland series was over it was easy to recognize that this team deserved it. They won with gritty determination and and the ability to come through in the clutch.

You have to love that. 

You know what happens when you make an assumption, but in this case (especially given your comments) you only made an ass out of you.

Things done in Hot Buns Pants

Lets see as Eric better known as Hot Buns has given some of us Hawaiian Print pants as a going away present and I love to wear these pants because Hot Buns is a cool dude and it was a good idea and it is an extension of who we are , Monday night Kahuna Hashers.

So far the fore mentioned pants have played four games of soccer accumulating 1 win and 3 losses, have sent some wild shots off the framework with only one goal recorded. These pants have run the Monday night hash when asked to and even made it to a wedding in Maui where I forgot that Hot Buns had actually autographed the pants.

When I was in grad school I simply did not have my act together. I really liked this girl named Kathy and I think she knew it. I was going through a tough time and she invited me over to her place for dinner. I was really excited as we always had friends around and I was excited to spend a quiet evening with JUST her.

It was a Thursday night and I showed up right on time and she looked like she was up for a great evening. We both talked about different things and she asked me if I was ready for dinner. She seemed quite excited about what she had prepared. I blindly commented that it smelled great. So she sauntered out into the dining room with a cookie tin full of Fish Sticks. They weren't even the deluxe fish sticks but rather the little ones we always had on Fridays in the eight grade cafeteria. I was not to be deterred as this was going to be a good night.

Despite the fish sticks we had a great conversation and we were a bit flirty. She asked me if I would like to watch television. I said why not. We sat on the sofa and started watching television and then I heard a knock on the door and the door opened. It was my friends who were always around. We always seemed to hang around in groups.

I was frustrated but, hey life goes on. I said hello to EED (he, a PHD student, couldn't spell ED) and Jeff and we exchanged quizzical looks as I headed to the bathroom. As I was going to the bathroom I noticed Kathy's Red and White shorts hanging on the towel rack and thought nothing more of it.

I grabbed a beer and sat next to Kathy to continue watching the show.  The next thing I know EEEED (with an extra E this time) heads into the bathroom and after a few minutes EEEED comes out of the bathroom wearing Kathy's shorts.

I sat there in stunned silence and I could see Kathy slowly turning red and she was mad. I mean she was really mad. It reminded me of a volcano.

She was fuming and walked over to EEEEd and stated quite loudly.

ED please "TAKE OF MY SHORTS".

Of course EEED replied "Why certainly Kathy" (she was wearing shorts).

And at this point chivalry was all gone because dumb old me ended up laughing my eyes out and I was promptly sent home with fish sticks on my breath.

Meth smoker tells Kitsap deputies of lost wallet.

Monday, July 26, 2010
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) -- A Suquamish woman called the Kitsap County sheriff's office to complain about a friend with whom she had been smoking methamphetamine.
The woman said Saturday that her friend failed to return a wallet that had been left to secure a $15 loan to buy more drugs.
The Kitsap Sun reports the friend denied doing drugs and allowed deputies to search her home. They did not find the wallet. No one was arrested.

============

I have no idea have no idea who decided to report this and it was reported in a few different web sites.Kind of reminds me of the poor traffic reporter up in his helicopter saying "No backups of any kind to report". You can all go home now or even a Seattle Sounders game.
