It's funny to see a big guy like Duncan chewing on his knuckles. I guess he used to chew on his finger nails. The Spurs better win, because otherwise, everyone's image of Tim from now on is going to be either slumping on a bench like a weenie, chewing his knuckles, or missing 6 FTs in a row. Dang Sportscenter! (Dang Tim!)

This San Antonio team is just amazing. The team disappeared for like 3 1/2 games and then, suddenly, Duncan waked up and want to play basketball and so as Ginobilli, who's like the invisible man for the first 3 quarters. Anyway, congrat Spurs and Duncan.

Tony Parkère is in Singapore to aid the French Olympics cause! I saw him on the PBS "france2" news broadcast ... I sure hope Paris wins. Even Chirac has hightailed it over to Singapore to plead the Paris cause, but of course, who is he, next to TONY PARKÈRE? If Tony can't convince them, nobody can! ALLEZ!

Apparently Chirac was running around insulting the food of all the other nations.

He also said the only contribution Britain ever made to agriculture was mad cow disease. So Chirac is being generally blamed for Paris losing out (we are all relieved that it's not Tony's fault!).

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - More nettle mash, monsieur le President? Bon Appetit!
Upset by Jacques Chirac's reported comments disparaging their national cuisines, a Finnish member of the European Parliament and his British wife have dared the French president to sample turnip rye pie, brambleberry wine and other Nordic delights. Legislator Alexander Stubb wrote to Chirac Tuesday inviting him to dinner at their home south of Brussels.
A menu proposed by top Finnish chef Jyrki Sukula starts with a Finnish take on Britain's classic fish and chips. That would be followed by a broth of cepe mushrooms with turnip rye pie, then rack of baby lamb from Finland's Aland islands served with nettle mash.
For dessert, there's berries marinated in Arctic brambleberry wine and a pudding made from beestings - milk taken from cows immediately after they give birth - a popular Finnish specialty.
The French newspaper Liberation on Tuesday quoted Chirac telling German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and Russian President Vladimir Putin that only Finland had worse food than Britain.
"We can't trust people who have such bad food," Chirac was quoted as saying of the British. He reportedly added that mad cow disease was Britain's sole contribution to European agriculture.
The comments provoked outrage in the British press. "Don't talk crepe, Jacques!" scorned The Sun.
Finns were already smarting from criticism of their cooking by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi who once claimed, "the Finns don't even know what prosciutto is," in a successful bid to ensure the EU's food safety agency was located in Parma instead of Helsinki.
In his letter of invitation, Stubb did acknowledge one area of French gastronomic superiority. "We hope that, as president of an esteemed wine-producing country, you could provide the wines," he wrote.

Ewwww! I'll pass on the lovely turnip-rye dish, thanks! (am not too fond of the big Frenchie treat "veal's head" either, though!) Tony P. was on the France2 news again ce soir. He said the IOC is run by the Anglo-Saxons, naturellement! (I guess he is hoping his fans in San Antonio, a few of whom MAY be Anglo-Saxon, don't understand French!) It was a sad show, though. Tout le monde là, ils sont très, déçus et très tristes. Moi aussi, je suis bigrement deçue! Mais, peut-être, notre bon ami "Sid!", il serait contente. Je l'espère.

NBA's new dress code -- what are the guys going to do? LOL @ "no sunglasses while indoors". How are guys supposed to look cool any more, I ask you!

So I gather that you can wear sunglasses at night, à la that great Canadian Corey Hart, as long as you're outdoors?
