Hey baller 24. I like your sig. BTW i've had arguments with tons of people how hakeem is the most dominate player to ever play the game (more than Jordan). I love Jordan, but hakeem's presence on defense puts him slightly over the top IMO.

Has been done before.

But...my initials are TSB. In High School in suburb of Atlanta for a while we called each other by initials and one rather cute girl would stretch out the T and in her Southern Accent it would sound like TeahSBee. I thought that would make a great name for something. Come the Internet and the need for screen names that no one else had(I use my middle name-Stephen-in everyday life and didn't want to be Stephen11873497@whatever)so I tried using my initials-fail-and went w/tisbee-success!

Yes,I am now one of the cranky old farts I used to laugh about :(

Back when I first started using the internet in 1997, I used to regularly post on a Star Wars chat room. It began there, I lost my password, and had to alter the name slightly. I was originally just kam_solusar, but I had to change it to kam_soluusar. That's my story.

on Ebay, I'm known as olajuwonisgod.

The reference is obvious.

My signature is a poke at jordan. I hate him, I think he was/is over rated as a player. I hated the way people in Australia who didn't know jack about Bball, would spout crap about how he was the best in the world, the best ever. Whilst I do appreciate what he did for Pro Basketball in the 90's, It would always inevitably come to the usual argument of how I would not argue that he was probably deserving of the mantra of best SG ever (Until Kobe, I think he will have a more successful career than Jordan), just not best player ever. I actually feel that title deserves to go to Wilt, or to Bill Russell. but that is an opinion for a debate at another time.

T-Mac United... had this ID since 2001, a year after McGrady joined the Orlando Magic. It was adapted from Manchester United (ironically, a team that I hate passionately). It also encapsulated "In T-Mac, We Unite", which no longer holds today. So yeah, FAIL. :cry:

For some reason, I thought a moof refers to one of those cotton-candy-like-figures (?) on your avatar. Since there's two of those things, it's a picture of moofs. I don't think you've ever changed that avatar and I have been curious about its relevance.

You are truly a God among geeks. (But I'm still the king of France, so suck it.)

FOCUS: Ribalding = bad play on words, combining my personal sense of humor and my personal hair line.

Weak, I know. But RealGM wouldn't let me have my 1st choice - 'MySisterInLawIsAVapidWhore''. Something about it being too many characters. I don't remember.

Knew the first part but always missed the second, figured you'd just verbed "being ribaldous".

The truest of shames.

Woulda thought it was either Hermes Trismegistus or Charles Manson sporting the Eye of Providence for some reason. Even with you having mentioned it before (bad recollective memory, good cognitive memory).

Who's Hermes Trismegistus? No clue, just saw the name once somewhere and that guy looks like he would be him.

edit: just looked it up
Many Christian writers, including Lactantius, Augustine, Giordano Bruno, Marsilio Ficino, Campanella and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola considered Hermes Trismegistus to be a wise pagan prophet who foresaw the coming of Christianity.


Weird coincidence that I assumed it was him with the Eye of Providence... :: heebliejeeblies ::

Take a guess. His block then dunk over Karl Malone will forever be one of my favorites.
