I've never gotten a tattoo. Absolutely terrified of needles.

why are you terrified of needles all they do is stab a small hole into your skin


Im scared of them bad enough that I will have a severe panic attack and faint multiple times. I haven't gotten my blood taken in years. I honestly have no idea why.

Odd and intense thread over on the Bulls board. Hope this kid eventually turns out to be ok.

That guy is the genius of trolling if he is indeed trolling, but I highly doubt it. Hes been a good poster over there for a while I believe. He must go to school in freaking North Korea or something.

probably some kind of heavily religious college or its in a really bad area or something, but it also doesn't make any sense that a med school doesn't allow phones or laptops or any other electronic device and only leaving campus once a month...so he is obviously posting this via the internet which is on a laptop or computer which is banned unless its that one time a month so that is weird and i highly doubt it has been smuggled in because he said there are lots of guards and search points and for campus computers if they are that insane about security they'll have all kinds of firewalls and blockers set up and he also said "The worst thing is I haven't seen a Bulls game this whole year." that would be the absolute least of my worries/pains if i was stuck in a prison school....and he also said in latter posts that he is using a phone to make these posts....wouldn't something be at the bottom of his posts similar to "Posted from my blah blah blah using RealGM Mobile App"

Not necessarily. I post from my phone a ton. I just don't use the app.

This is the craziest story I've ever heard though. If he's trolling though he's got a hell of an imagination

You can also take "posted from my iPhone using realgm app" off because Its on your signature and you can just delete it. I did it earlier.

He confirmed UAE, Uzbebkistan or Oman (Uman). By giving out Skype is banned there then it should be UAE (or Oman, no much difference geographically).

If we opt out to believe him, he should contact authorities before being picked up for sure (and not contact local police at all, by info he gives out). Also if he lacks money for the ticket, he should at least tried to get out of that country if he has enough to get to Europe, anywhere where he doesn't need visa to enter (not gonna google that). That would radically improve his options, if he claims he is in nepotism driven area where he is against people of influence (then he should escape muslim world as a whole). Seeking help/illegal working/getting deported back to USA is surely help then being afraid of getting kidnapped in Arabian Peninsula. Also if hsi frined is like second son for his parents, I wouldn't rule out he is in it as well.

I really just want to know if my guess is right lol. I got United Arab Emirates and the university of Sharjah. Idk I feel like if he really wanted help he would let us know the country where he is staying. But maybe he's that scared idk. Definitely interesting.

So..guys, if Russia invades us ever again, will you send me over $300 so I can try and exile? Or will you believe that this whole thing was a scam all along and I created a fake Latvian persona?

So I actually listened to WFNZ today, which I never do, and they had Haywood on. Nothing ground-breaking, just general chat for about 45 minutes. They opened with some brief NBA FA talk and DouchewithaC threw out a few names: Lance, Parsons, Gay, few others I can't remember. Haywood said he liked Parsons and they discussed signing him away from Houston as a RFA. Though this was like 2 minutes and then they went to the phones.

They didn't touch on the fact that the Rockets have a 4th-year option on Parsons, so if they don't think they can re-sign him for a decent amount they can just extend the option to keep him for cheap. There was also little no mention of Gordon Hayward as a possibility. I decided, what the hell, and called (which I also never do).

For the remainder of the time he was on the line, every call was about baseball, specifically Hank Aaron night in Atlanta (which is where The Douche was actually broadcasting from). Of course when you're on hold they take you name and what you want to discuss: "Justin; NBA free agency."

So I wait, they spend the remaining 30 minutes or so comparing Aaron to Barry Bonds (because The Douche is - of course - a Giants fan and has no actual ties to the local teams), and the steroid era in baseball. I mean, I like the Braves, but there's a freaking NBA player taking questions (injured, but still). I finally hear: "alright now Justin... actually I think Chris was next." So instead of taking the guy who wanted to talk basketball, he takes another baseball call. Chris then goes on to rant about a previous caller who said steroids were fine.

And that took up the rest of Haywood's time, all of it on baseball. And right before Haywood hung up The Douche got a final word in: "Oh and by the way MKG hasn't attempted a three in months. What do you think about that?" Haywood calls it good coaching: "That's not his game, he's a lock-down defender and he'll be fine offensively, he's still one of the youngest players in the league."

"SHOULD'VE DRAFTED BEAL!! BYE BRENDAN!!!"

Of course I hung up.

Yeah, just weird handling of the whole thing. I didn't even realize the other guy (Taylor?) wasn't there anymore. Just Marc and the QCB...
