Got my fingers crossed for those living downriver of the Oroville Dam out here in California. 200,000 people had to be evacuated over the weekend because the dam is in danger of failing. To quote Han Solo, "Hear me baby, hold together!"

^ Daddy like!

Any exotic 911s?

I think the Knicks will be fine in the long run. They have Porzingis, and that is what matters. All this stuff going on right now is just noise and won't matter in a few years when Porzingis is playing at an all-star level. I do hope they move Carmelo soon. I personally have always disliked him as a player and I think it'd be in the best interest of both sides if he moved on. I can't really blame Phil Jax for resigning him. What you can blame Phil for is signing guys like J. Noah to a long-term deal... that looks like an absolute disaster. The only thing the Knicks need to avoid is signing long-term deals with players who will decline as Porzingis starts to reach his peak. The Oakley thing is an embarrassment. It should never have come to that. That being said, Oakley can't get belligerent like that with security and expect any sympathy from me. The video is very damning to him, IMO. It is not surprising to learn that Oakley's track record with public blow-ups is very poor. It is easy to kick the Knicks when they get down or bitch about their unpopular owner. The Knicks future is far from hopeless though.

I'd bet a dollar they don't have the licenses to any of those songs so enjoy the site while you can! So awesome!

Oh my god, I'm dying. ? http://themagicipod.com/ Best website in the history of the internet? I need to go to bed but laughing so hard I'm crying. DMX x Vanessa Carlton!

I remember talking to DaveDerek at meets back when I lived out east. He always gave me shit for not having enough prog-rock music for him to demo with.

Is this directed at me?

Heh, sorry, Steve. It is an old habit. I went to a goofy liberal arts college where all classes were discussion based and, in the spirit of being egalitarian, we had to refer to both the other students and the professors as "Mr." or "Ms." so-and-so regardless of any titles they had obtained.

Yeah, me too. The hot water in my building has been knocked out the past two days as well. Boy I forgot what a pain in the ass a cold shower is. I'm Adam, by the way. I believe I've personally met most of the CA and NY crew over the years, but haven't met many people outside of those two groups. I'm sure we will cross paths in person eventually, Mr. Tice.

Came home to find that my entire street is closed because a tree got blown over in to a power line. These storms we've been having in the Bay Area have been nuts.

The King is still the King! Shot (and game) of the NBA season so far.

Happy birthday from your pal John Rambo!

I hate those cheating bums but I have to tip my hat to Tom Terrific. That was pretty damn impressive.

Not a bad way to finish up a busy week at the office, but I'd much rather be hanging with the gang in NYC.

Dealing with Yamas is the single biggest reason I don't own electrostats anymore. I'm glad the Canadian dealer is much more on top of things and that you were able to find a resolution.

How many Diet Cokes is Grahame allowed to have before the flight attendants cut him off?

The dark horse that I think realistically has a chance to win it is Houston. They have the firepower to play with anyone when they are rolling, including GSW. In the east I like what is going on with the Wizards, but I just don't see how anyone gets by Cleveland in a 7 game series if the King is healthy.

Curry is lit right now. Straight ???! The guy is insane if he keeps playing like this he is going to put hiimself back in the MVP race.

Shake Shack is better and it isn't close. I wish we had it out here.

Chris, when are you joining us?

I had forgot that that was him in The Elephant Man. Amazing performance and an amazing career overall.

Oh noes! Always been a fan of his work, especially Alien and "I, Claudius." RIP

Boy did we ever get spanked last night by a bunch of 13-year olds. They even talked trash to us in the chat. My ego hurts.
