What’s with all this “excruciating pain” stuff you’ve been complaining about for the past few weeks, George? I assumed you got a hold of a bad hot dog at the arena. I certainly hope that’s what it was, because I went out of my way for you, and only for you. Otherwise, I made a terrible, terrible mistake in using my political contacts to bring Gilbert to his knees. http://jfs.ohio.gov/warn/pdf/ARAMARK2.pdf

Mo Wms. looked awfully confident early with the threes, taking a few that you wouldn’t normally see a slumping player take. I wonder if they spotted a hitch or something that is now straightened out.

Alan,

Mummy 1 and 2 with Fraser were pretty good. Can’t say anything about third since I haven’t seen it yet, but the critical reviews are not as good.

Nice win by the Cavs, but I still stand by my $1,500 bet for Game 6.

You were kinda right about that 3-point prediction, George. But that’s only because Alston got kinda cocky with his recent shooting aberration, and heaved 1 of 7. Take him out of the mix, and they shot 39% from 3-point.

Second straight game Ilgauskas exercised some semblance of self-control on the 3-point heaves. Good for him.

It took me a very long time, all these years I thought Ilgauskas moved like a lumbering dinosaur. But for some reason, I just now realized tonight that Ilgauskas actually moves more like The Mummy. Not the newfangled Brendan Fraser stuff I’ve never actually seen because it seemed way too cheesy in the trailers with the highfalutin special effects, but the Boris Karloff stuff. It’s uncanny. George, I know you must have Karloff’s entire collection on DVD, you’ve gotta agree with me on this.
