RE: Unmasking the Ghost

["Odegaard, Greg M." <GMOdegaa@rmc.com>]

The hell with sarcasm and international race or trade relations, I have had
it up to hear with this fake identity crap.  I appreciate Theresa and Mike
making light of this issue, good or bad, because they at least are real
people with real names, who if we were so inclined we could call info and
actually call them at home (don't worry I am not ever), but my point is that
they and most of us have the guts to actually speak our mind with our own
names.  Be proud of who you are. Look in the mirror occasionally people.

My sister in law sent us email under a false name for months at home, which
we deleted never reading, because hey that's our prerogative, and when asked
she wanted to hide her identity to some potential internet bad guy.  Get a
life, or a bigger lock, dog or gun, and more importantly never leave the
basement like some of the folks on this list clearly don't do.  At least not
in Portland because Paul and I are have crocked and god knows what we are
capable of; don't forget that Blazerfan.

My point is that I have been calling out the 3-headed list monster;
Ghost/Ray/Witchy (GRW)for some time and have gotten into more than a little
hot water over the matter when the delicate genius got his feelings hurt,
cursed me out no less and then took hit football and when home for a couple
of weeks.  I apologized and he came back, then came back as Ghostmeister,
only to be outed just a week ago.  Funny WayRay started posting again.

GRW has been knocking our players, team and coaches for some time.  Sure we
got emotional fans, I preach this as a positive all the time, but to cut
them down for no good reason, like Dan Forant used to do to our esteemed
Larry Bird, this has got to give.  Get over it or get a another life.  I
know I could use one. GRW are you an agent as I have purported, or someone
more sinister like Mike notes here?  Most importantly be a man and come
clean with who you really are.  Like my father-in-law used to say, you think
you know who the MEN are in this world, then you stand next to one in the
john and find out for sure.  GRW, your Napoleonic tendencies betray you, and
today is your Waterloo.  Get your ABBA records out because we are going to
party all night long.

And now for all you lovely list folks out there, I click my stopwatch to
time an entertaining response from our own Ms. GRW, and for Theresa and
others I will try to stay on the subject at hand, my wife reminds daily,
Greg

You're not fooling anyone, Mister Ghost!  We know your true identity
-- the evidence is irrefutable.  

You've advocated trading away Antoine Walker, Ron Mercer, Tony Battie,
Kenny Anderson and Bruce Bowen (can't remember whether you've ever
expressed an interest in losing Pierce).  You have been clamoring for
the Celtics to acquire Michael Olowokandi, Lorenzen Wright, Maurice
Taylor and Rodney Rogers, all of whom are Los Angeles Clippers.  The
Los Angeles Clippers were formerly known as the Buffalo Braves.  22
years ago or so, the Celtics and Braves actually pulled off the type
of quasi-franchise swap you have been suggesting, in which John Y.
Brown became the owner of the Celtics.  John Y. Brown (a/k/a "The
Kentucky Colonel", a/k/a "Chicken Man", a/k/a "Mr. Phyllis George")
royally screwed up the Celtics during his brief tenure, most notably
by acquiring Bob McAdoo from the Knicks for 3 first round picks (one
of which became Bill Cartwright).  Only when Red Auerbach threatened
to quit the Celtics and join the Knicks as GM was Brown forced to give
up his interest in the team.  

It's not hard to conclude that John Y. Brown has harbored a huge
grudge against the Celtics ever since he was chased out of town.  It's
also not hard to conclude that he would seek to destroy the Celtics by
the same means that brought him to town -- a FRANCHISE SWAP WITH THE
TEAM NOW KNOWN AS THE LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS, WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE
THE WORST FRIGGIN' BASKETBALL TEAM IN NBA HISTORY.  

WE HAVE YOU NOW, MISTER GHOST -- OR SHOULD WE SAY "CHICKEN
MAN"!!!!!!!!!!  

And he might've gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for us
meddling kids....
