Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 3:08 pm Post subject: A day in the life of an LG poster
7 a.m. Wake up, turn off alarm clock that, instead of buzzing or ringing, uses the rhythmic clapping used by fans in The Forum before the Lakers introductions of Game 7 of the 1988 NBA Finals.
7:10 a.m. Shower. Wash off the stench from previous night's 104-98 loss to Charlotte, which had poster simultaneously contemplating suicide, emigration or starting a thread on LG stating that after 28 years of Lakers fandom, he just can't do this crap anymore.
8 a.m. Watch a Today show feature about a charity auction involving Michael Jordan that will benefit blind orphans from Rwanda, fly into blind rage that the piece fails to mention everything Kobe has done for blind orphans from Haiti.
8:30 a.m. Drop kids off at school; daydream about what it'd be like to have relations -- in the Biblical sense -- with that cute 3rd grade teacher. Worry that she'd find it odd and/or criminal that he can only make love if Lawrence Tanter's voice introducing the 1987 Lakers plays on the bedroom's speakers.
9 a.m. Look up old YouTube clips of Marcus Banks, dream about what might have been. Man, oh man. That quickness, teamed up with Kobe? Forget about it. 73-9. Stupid Mitch.
9:30 a.m. Nap.
11 a.m. Log on to LG. See story about foot injury suffered by Kobe. Tell 500-word story about that time in the summer of '98 when the poster suffered a similar injury while hiking up Everest. Explain that the injury kept him out of the YMCA league for 22 months and it is ABSURD and laughable for anyone to think Kobe will be back in a week. "And even if he does come back, his pull-up jumper won't be the same. Mine wasn't."
11:15 a.m. Post interview with Dr. Klapper, who says in his experience, if - if -- Kobe has suffered a stress fracture, the only course is euthanasia, which used to be performed by trained medical personnel but because of Jim Buss' stingy ways, is now done by a recently rehired Rudy Garciduenas. But, Klapper says, if it's just a bone bruise, Kobe should be back in 7-10 days.
Noon. See thread about Dwight Howard's torn labrum. Write 1,000 words about how an ex-girlfriend suffered a similar injury and can no longer have children so it's ridiculous to expect Dwight to bounce back in 7 days, or reproduce.
12:05 p.m. Offer mea culpa after consulting Web MD.
12:25 p.m. Tell 3,500-word story about the time poster suffered torn rotator cuff after throwing 345 pitches in a little league game. Not only was the coach arrested for child abuse, but the poster never threw again until the Rentonville County Fair 10 years later, when he won a doll for his girl while knocking down three bowling pins. "There is ZERO chance Howard is back this month."
1 p.m. Lunch. Get into a bar brawl with fellow patron who says Chick Hearn's best film work came in "The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island" and not "Fletch."
3 p.m. Do research into cyborg technology, in an attempt to prove Bobby/32 is not actually human, since no human could possibly see news as quickly as he does and post it .3 seconds after it first appears on TV or social media.
4 p.m. Construct 250-word argument about idea that if you think about it, Lakers might have been better off keeping Kwame and never acquiring Gasol. "We could really use that interior defense now."
4:15 p.m. Post in "Who's Better: Jordan or Kobe" thread.
4:25 p.m. Post in "Whose season was more dominant: Kobe's 2006 season or Magic's 1987 season?"
4:30 p.m. Write email to A.C. Green telling him how much he admired his stance on chas y and staying true to his beliefs. As a P.S., jokingly say he might not have missed so many layups off of Magic's passes if he wasn't so backed up.
5 p.m. Contemplate going back to college. Debate whether he wants to go to Yale, Harvard, Columbia or Stanford.
5:30 p.m. Start a thread that suggests a trade involving "Dwight, Ebanks and Jamison for LeBron. Not sure how Heat pass this up, since you know they're losing LeBron for nothing in 2014."
6 p.m. Help children with homework, all while talking in a creepy Stu Lantz voice. "Now, Sarah says, 'Daddy, what were the reasons behind the Civil War?' And Daddy says, 'Girl, you'll hear a lot of nonsense about state's rights, but just know this: It was slavery.' Girl says, 'Thanks, daddy.' Daddy says, 'That's what we do on the Father's Championship Network.'"
6:30 p.m. Retweet Bleacher Report slidehow: Top 50 Lakers Girls of all-time.
6:45 p.m. Email T.J. Simers, questioning his upbringing, education, morals.
7:30 p.m. Turn on game. Watch Lakers fall behind 2-1, post in game thread about how he is SICK AND TIRED of Jim Buss's failures.
7:36 p.m. Watch Lakers go ahead 5-4 on an Ebanks three-pointer. Post in game thread, "Telling you, this guy is Ariza Jr. Gotta give him some burn!"
7:42 p.m. Watch Ebanks commit two straight turnovers, post in game thread, "Can Dumbtoni figure out that METTA HAS TO START!!! GET EBANKS OUT OF THERE!"
8 p.m. Eat the free taco his brother earned while attending a Lakers-Nets game during the Mike Brown era, you know, back when they played defense. NEVER SHOULD HAVE FIRED HIM! AND WHY WON'T DANTONI HIRE A DEFENSIVE ASSISTANT. JOHN BACH IS STILL JUST SITTING OUT THERE WAITING!
8:30 p.m. Post in thread: "Who had worst teammates: Jordan in 1986 or Kobe in 2013." Passionately argue that "I would take that Dave Corzine over this Dwight Howard. And don't even get me started on Orlando Woolridge. Who do these Lakers have who compares?"
8:45 p.m. After watching Kobe miss six straight jumpers, each more difficult than the last, post in game thread how you are "sick and tired of this act by Kobe. It's been 17 years. Dude is never gonna learn. Time to tank and rebuild."
9 p.m. Call dad, rant about why in the world Riley put the Lakers through those hard practices before the 1989 Finals. SO STUPID!
9:30 p.m. With Lakers trailing Pacers by 11 with 2 minutes to go, weep. Put in old videotape from Game 4 of 2000 NBA Finals, laugh at Rik Smits, pen hate mail to Dutch embassy.
10 p.m. Sign online pe ion demanding the Buss family fire D'Antoni and then sell the team to Jack Kent Cooke's heirs.
11 p.m. Go to bed in Lakers onesie. Or nude, because Kareem said that's how he sleeps in Giant Steps.
