Blah, Blah, Blah.

What I wouldn't give for a large sock of horse manure....  What do you 
do when you get stuck on a mailing list with a guy like this?  I mean, 
it's just maddening!  

Noah, aren't you ashamed to pontificate like that?  And the funny part 
of it is, you don't know anything about Bill Russell!  In fact, I happen 
to have Bill Russell right here!

Russell:  "I read what you were saying.  You -- you know nothing of my 
struggle.  How you ever got to be on a Celtics mailing list is totally 
amazing."

P.S.  Noah, one more post where you try to draw some kind of connection 
between any member of the Boston Celtics and Osama bin Laden, or 
anything even remotely as asinine, and I'll force you to type "THE 
AUTHOR IMPLIES, THE READER INFERS" until your fingers fall off.
