Perhaps. =)

Does ANY other team have even one player from an acid-head family that you know of or can prove?

Does ANY other team have a noteworthy fan who is also a noteworthy tripper?

Is any other team owned by a genius chemist?

Nope. Only the team coached by the admitted tripper has a deadhead player, a tripper fan sitting front and center, OR (LET ALONE AND!!!!) a genius chemist of an owner.

Is it early enough that you get it now??? =P

And to Langdon, it is true that Kesey was initially quite disapproving of Nicholson (Kesey had wanted to play MacMurphy himself, mind you) and griped “The novel has made HIM (Nicholson) more famous than me” or something along those lines. But they did, eventually, become buddies.

Man, only an acid freak would write such an article. The only relevant point seems to be that Phil considered a new offense while high on acid. Everything else just seems trivial to me, the connections to acid weak, like Luke and the Grateful Dead tattoo, which to me seems a mild coincidence and completely logical when considering big Bill Walton was quite the hippie-Dead-Head himself. . . And despite contrary belief amongst some people, not all Dead-Heads are Acid Heads. . . And the Jack Nicholson thing: so he wrote a movie about acid (its pretty bad by the way,) and he was in Cuckoo’s Nest, a movie based on a book that was no doubt written under the influence of many drugs, acid included. . . And Jack happens to be a Laker fan, so the fuck what?

Perhaps I missed the joke.

Perhaps I’m being too critical.

Its definitely too late though. Quite late.

Uh-Oh. I approved your comment. I’m sure now that I’ve granted you metaphysical access you’ll be able to melt my hard-drive or evaporate my processor or something.

Glad you’re following the Finals. The Lakers are your kind of team for sure and are worthy of your support.

Hope school is going well…even if it does result in you becoming some sort of James Bond villain who replaces the earth’s atmosphere with Salvinorin-A vapor.

Uh.. Ken Kesey was NOT friends with Jack Nicholson, and [thought] that he was a horrible choice to play R.P. Macmurphy

I’m a fan of the “other side”, the paranormal, conspiracy theories, and so much more. But I’m not a fan of that idiot kobe. I was a Lakers’ fan inthe 80’s when they had class. The this twit shows up and they turn hollywood (where if the Earth needed an enema-is where it should be inserted). So anyway… good article, except for the kobe overload…;)

Michael Jordan on Kobe Bryant:
“There are very few Kobe Bryants out there. LeBron hasn’t won yet. Dwyane Wade had Shaq [O'Neal] sitting next to him and he had Pat Riley coaching him.” Jordan says Kobe is still king of the hill. Booya!

“I was feeling some Butt Heat when I defecated. My Butt Nuggets looked a little off, too, and my Butt Thunder was smelling even worse than usual. So I went to see a prestigious proctologist, one of the so-called Butt Kings.The guy was supposed to be a real genius–a Butt Wizard, if you will. I was hoping he could work some of his Butt Magic on me. The doctor said I had Butt Spurs. While most doctors operate on this condition using electical scalpals called Butt Clippers, my doc was a real Butt Maverick. He preferred to use a set of lasers he called the Butt Blazers, which are less likely to leave you with Butt Knicks. I take my health very seriously. I don’t want to give the impression that I am Butt Cavalier. But after my doctor explained the procedure, I knew the Butt Blazers were the way to go. I’m not going to lie to you. The procedure stung bad. It felt like I had a bunch of Butt Hornets all up in there. But I am a Butt Warrior. I hung in there like a champ. But with the Butt Spurs, you have to stay vigilant. I and my doctor are going to have to watch my conditon like Butt Hawks.” I just have to say that that's freakin' hilarious. Can't believe no one else commented on this. For my money, that's better writing than the blog itself LMAO!

Dude…I am going to miss Trevor Ariza (Go Bruins!) but the Ron Artest acquisition puts L.A. over the top! Ron-Ron can do all of the things trevor did (defend well, hit wide-open shots, etc.) plus a ton more. Ron-Ron is the same height as Trevor, about as quick, but MUCH bigger. Ron can defend all 5 positions and can play all 5 positions on offense as well. Don’t think he can play Center? Well, he is as big as Ben Wallace and tried to fight Ben Wallace! Don’t think he can run the point? Well he has..for Chicago and for Sacramento. In Chicago, he even ran the point IN THE TRIANGLE OFFENSE!!! This is a great addition! And no one defends LeBron better than Artest. Trevor has had trouble with LeBron going back to High School. I sincerely hope Phil decides to play Ron at the point guard spot and I also hope he lets Lamar Odom get more minutes at the point (with Kobe or Ron picking up the lead guard on D).

We could start Artest, Bryant, Odom, Gasol, and Bynum. I think this is the most talented Lakers team EVER. Yes, I realize what I just said and I will say it again. THIS IS THE MOST TALENTED LAKERS TEAM EVER!!!

GO LAKERS!!!
