Gay basketball dudes watch out

Which sport is the most homophobic? Like most people, I have always believed its figure skating, but I was thrown into doubt a few weeks ago when former NBA star Tim Hardaway told an interviewer he was not fond of the homosexuals.

Ala Billie Jean King vs. Bobby Riggs, I think Hardaway should have a slam dunk contest against the top living gay basketball player (…which is? We probably don’t even know).

Several current NBA stars were quick to point out that in terms of facing prejudice, African Americans should be more sympathetic to homosexuals.

Regardless if you’re black and gay, you’ve got a lot on your plate and good luck to you sir.

If you’re black, gay, and have achondroplasia, you actually chart so high on the prejudice scale that it goes into reverse and you become irrationally beloved by people everywhere instead of hated.

Of course there are only like four or maybe five black gay dwarves in the world. When one is born it’s a cosmic event, like the birth of a new Dalai Lama. Perhaps not as important, but as rare. Granted, I’m not an expert. But I do know more about this subject than any other person in the world.

In closing, let us hope that Hardaway's comments bring about an ultimately positive dialogue about gay athletes, tennis, and the Dalai Lama.

  dangerous games

Someone was talking about a standing drinking game in which the two participants have challenged each other irregularly over the years to drink the undrinkable shot. The two take turns making a shot out of no more than two types of alcohol and anything in the kitchen. They each have to down one when its done and if one of them can’t swallow it or throws up, the other wins.

Incredibly the person relating this story said they didn’t name these shots, which in my mind would be the best part. My suggestion was Schlitz, Goldschlagger, and some cheap chili. The shot would be called “The Wreck of the Edmund Schlitzgerald.”  ¶ 11:09 AM |
