    How many miles have you racked up now? Hoping my hand isn’t being forced into moving into something new, trans doing something electrically funky. Going to replace internal harness and shift solenoids next week and if that doesn’t do it, probably going to just call it so wife will get off my ass. Nearly trouble free for 16 years but little things been tricking lately, and now electrical.  Fuck electrical gremlins.

    You grew up in a James McMurtry song.

    I think of those days every time I hear that song playing.  Uncle Louie was full-blood Choctaw standing about 6' 8" and rarely adorned with a shirt.  My ma died when I was around 2 years old.  The old man got remarried and took his new wife, my brother and 6 year old me up to Lake Texhoma to stay for the weekend and turn her new in-laws aloose on her. 

    Upon arrival, Uncle Louie staggered out of the front door and off the front stoop to greet us.  He was so friggin' huge his presence blotted out the sun and it went dark outside.  He mussed my brother's hair up and drew a static charge off my buzz haircut.  He then turned to my dad and bellowed "Jim, good to see you have the sense to find you a new squaw to take care of the little Injuns!" while he slapped my new mom on the back and thoroughly knocking the air out of her lungs.  

    She had no clue what she was in for as my dad never showed her the fine print prior to their wedding.

  4. I'd go for a can of original formula Schlitz.  Reminds me of the old man picking up a sixer while my brother and I waited in this babe magnet as we were on our way to Lake Texhoma for a family reunion with the Choctaw side of the family.

    I had a pair last year and was disappointed at how long they lasted. 

    Who knows?  I’ve had at least 6 pair and put all through the wringer.  They've held up OK.  Some better than others.  It’s the comfort side of the ledger that gains my interest.

    It's a dumb question. Anyone would take advantage of what he brings.

    His skills are demonstrably middling. He can't dribble, he can't shoot, his touch on any shot that isn't a dunk/layup is laughable, and he is a below average FT shooter despite literally living there. He's not even a good defender outside of being so large that his personal gravity by itself just prevents driving to the basket.

    On the other hand, he's athletic, smart and knows how his bread is buttered. His post moves aren't advanced or remarkable but he uses the ones he has effectively, most of the time. And he knows he can get away with more contact than most bigs.

    Regardless, his game is entirely predicated on him being able to overpower anyone who's guarding him because he's 7'4" and weighs 300 pounds. If he were a normal sized big he'd be completely unremarkable in every way and I absolutely stand by that.

    It's horrible to watch as a fan.

    Finally.  Asked and answered.

    This is a bad faith, stupid question and you should feel bad for posting something so dumb.

    You’ve labeled his game as unremarkable and his skills as middling.  He put up remarkable numbers and dominated his tourney games despite your low rating.  
     

    Also, you did not answer the question but you came back with a bitchy post as if I had the audacity to question your point of view.   

    The question remains.
