It's basically a way to send out text messages in mass to a whole group of people. And yeah, a lot of it is just white noise stuff, but for some reason it's still interesting.

Isn't it called Tweeting?

Are you being serious? I just got on Twitter recently so I have no idea what the slang might be.

I was from the standpoint that he was 2-9 in the first half and played only limited minutes due to picking up 2 fouls. I think he sat out the last 8 minutes of the 2nd. So, I wouldn't think that posting on twitter would be one of the things he did right at half, but that's just me.

Whether he should be twittering during a game or even at halftime ... well that's another issue entirely.

No I don't see any problem with it...In fact, why are you narking on him in the first place? Who are you more loyal to, Villanueva or to us?

Don't answer that! LOL....don't answer that. I don't really want to know, nor would I believe your answer anyways.

But I think it is one of the things that endears one to Charlie V. He is good people...It does not effect his play in the negative and perhaps it is a way to unwind. His post was short and concise and to the point...

This young man is a must keep for this organization if you ask me. He has grown on me as a stand up guy and improved young baller. He has worked on his gamre and his basketball personality. I can now respect him and trust him as a Milwaukee Buck.

At first I thought it was merely a contract year push, and it still might be to a certain extent. Him playing more harder for 'the paper' (money, cheese, loot, duckets, moolah etc,) then the name on the front of the jersey...but I doubt it.

So.............BANGO, IF INDEED THIS IS YOUR "REAL NAME"..LOL

Tell us....

The only reason I know is because FOX 6 weather is on Twitter and I've heard Vince Condella refer to it as tweeting. :lol:

If MBBOT's posts were made into a movie, who would star as MBBOT?

it would take you like a minute to do that, and i doubt he put a ton of thought in that insightful post

besides, his 11 points in the 4th played a massive part in us winning the game, so maybe he should do it during timeouts too

It actually is my real name. I'm not sure if that's why I got the job but having that name had always been a bit of a burden. All of my friends in school were named Tim or Dave or Eddie. I was Bango. Then one day I saw an advertisement in the local paper asking for people to try out to be the Bucks' mascot. I didn't think much of the job. After all, have you seen Todd Day play once? Why in God's name would I want to see that up close 41 times a year? Anyway, I was going to pass on the job until I saw the mascot's name.

Bango.

It was like a light came on above me. Actually I was sitting under a lamp at the time so a light literally was on above me. I tried out for the job showed I could dunk, scream out "Go Bucks Go" and drive a motorcycle on a basketball court. I was immediately hired.

Life has been great ever since.

I heard Bango and Joe Alexander like to hit the clubs after games

The funny thing is that we were saying that exact same thing during the 2nd half. Since he shot 6-11 in the 2nd half and did seem to come out of the gates more aggressively than he did in the 1st half (even his 4th foul, the illegal screen, was at least the result of hustling downcourt), we were saying that he should just keep the phone with him at all times.

Is it possible to frame a message board thread?

Post #35 » by **MickeyDavis** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 1:36 am

No Tweets from MBOT because you are limited to 140 characters. Twitter is mostly a waste of time but CV has some good tweets from time to time.

In da locker room, snuck to post my twitt. We're playing the Celtics, tie ball game at da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up.

I really hate when athletes / celebrities that kids look up to write or speak using incomplete sentences and words like "da." He did the same thing in the video during halftime in which he was talking about the disease that he has. It was quite ironic actually as he was speaking about being a role model for kids with the same disease yet at the same time speaking as if he never passed 2nd grade.

I have some respect for what Charlie does around the community and in general, but if you are going to be a role model than you have to know that everything you do will be copied by kids that look up to you.

Can I trust you guys to repost here if Bogut or CV post anything worthy of discussion on their twitter account? I don't want to get into yet another internet time-drain.

Better than when Bango used to hang out with Bobby Simmons, I guess.

Yeah I started an account a few weeks back just to see what it was all about and sometimes it can be kind of interesting but I can't seem to really get into it myself. I definitely haven't got into tweeting myself or about my life since I can't imagine anyone would care. I could understand it as sort of a mini blog for celebrities to stay in touch and have some interaction with fans but that's about it.
