Conference 7.286::sports_91

    
  <set brain=stupid>
    
    
    Anybody know what network is doing the national tv broadcast??
    
    High probability that if NBC has the game and the banner has CBS
    or vice-versa, the banner will be avoided.

    Assuming I get permission (according to DEC P&P) from MikeC, I think
    you'd like to see the exchange of messages between Mike and I, whereby
    I extended the invite to accompany me to the GAME, for your enjoyment
    I'll put them here too.  They are cute...
    
    Kev
    

    Is Sec. 68 across from Nazz's table or on the same side??
    
    Deen to wonk
    
    (really!)

    How about:
    
    P			unless your Mike Brooks:  P
    E						  I
    A						  E
    CBS						  CBS
    E						  E

    NBC has the game, not CBS.  I don't know where your section is in
    relation to the TV cameras, but I haven't seen many banners at Celtics
    games lately.  I think they may be banned.

I would definitely try to work in some (if not all) of the following:


	Film at 11

	SPORTshrooms

	YU R TOO BLAM

	Chainsaw LOVES Kelly Bundy

	I want a James Worthy Lunch Special

	America:  Leave it to Beaver!

	
That should provide the seeds of a fine banner....8^)

    How 'bout:
    
    FORWARDS FROM (BLUE) HEAVEN:
    
     SAM PERKINS & JAMES WORTHY
    
    
    - ACC Chris

    BTW, assuming Popson is still hanging on with the C's, this will mark
    the second time in a week that three (3) Carolina forwards have been in
    NBA uniform at the same time.
    
    Vewy impwesive, me thinks ...

Well, I've heard of Sam and Dave, and James the Apostle (who
later starred in James and the Giant Peach), but I've
never heard of Sam and James......

hth,

    - ACC Chris

How `bout a takeoff on those religious banners:
                                   
                                 LARRY

    THE LAKERS
      ARE #1!
    
    Has a nice ring to it, don't you think Kev?  Perhaps the letters should
    be large block style in Royal Purple, with the back ground of the
    banner in gold.
    
    As MrT would say "Tres Bon!".

    Honestly, if ya think about it Holy Green Sweat Socks would get
    ya camera time.  It has a fervid message, yet is delivered on a
    boyish platform. 
    
    I'd strongly recommend against using the word "jihad" anywhere in
    the United States right now (outside of a Nation of Islam meeting,
    that is).  You're gonna have trouble getting air time cuz the networks
    are trying to outdo one another with the triumphalism theme and that
    means WAR SIGNS (did you see those Buffalo fans?  I didn't, all I saw
    was pro-war cardboard).
    
    Here's a_idea: Operation Celtic Storm.  Or maybe: Celtic Patriots Down
    Incoming SCUDs.  Or: Operation Parquet Swarm.
    
    On the peace time front I suggest: Old Magic... or Laker Faker? 
    
    ABC has the SuperBore so you cain't do any logo baiting.  
    
    Good luck, I'll be looking for ya Kev.

Operation Parquet Swarm...  

T, I love it.  That's the best one I've heard yet...

    Worthy: Millions Served

    What was the outcome?

 well the banner looked great unfortunely the confiscated it before we went
 in. Reasoning: We can't have pro-war banners in here because then we would have
 to allow anti-war banners to be shown also. Like hey Big Brother as soon as
 you arrive you better step on the people Big Brother and negate their minds.

 anyway it said

	NBC and we salute the troops
            and the
        NEXTED(tm) WORld Champions
	Boston Celtics

  and on the sides where a bunch of lumninaries from in here's name with the
 leader of the BIRD Jihad JD at the top ;^)

 the back side said

		Suddam Hussien
                U' R' to BLAM(TM)...

 too bad you guys would have know it was us for sure....

 we still had a great time even though the wrong team won....

mike

    Without going into a description of the not-nice game (except glenn
    might disagree:*(, here's how it went.
    
    First, Mikey showed up at my house :32 minutes late!  We arrived
    at the Gahden around 11:00 and parked in the rear, had a libation
    or two ($3.00ea inside!!!!) and then went inside to see the players
    shoot around.
    
    I had my carefully made, super duper banner all ready to go and
    carried it in under my arm.  After 3 days of planning, remembering
    to bring string and other stuff to attach it, inside we went.  No
    sooner had we gone through those 3 armed gate thingies, the Gahden
    gestapo had us in their grasp.  "NO BANNERS ARE ALLOWED, sir!!!
    and may I see what's in the bag?"
    
    "But", I said, "it isn't offensive, it's just a banner", as I proceeded
    to unfurl my 5' x 5' recycled mattress sheet. "Look"
    
    There, the GG observed a magnificent banner which looked like this;
    
    
   			 N B C  +  W E        |Kev
    		      S A L U T E  O U R      |Mike
                    T R O O P S  A N D  T H E |MrT 
                   N E X T E D (tm) W O R L D |JH
                  C H A M P S  R  B O S T O N |Nazz
                         C E L T I C S        |RCaso
    				              |'Saw
    					      |Chris
    				
    
    (Also had other names but don't remember them right now and the
    order of names here may/may not be exactly the same)
    
    Top-half was in BRIGHT flourescent orange and the bottom + names
    were in green.
    
    
    While impressed, the GG confiscated the banner mumbling some crap
    about equal points of view and opposing messages.  Then they took
    away our masterpiece and told us we could have it back after the
    game.
    So, with tears in our eyes........
     
    We got all the way down to the parquet and watched McHale and Stoyko
    and somebody else I don't know just shoot.  Security was all around
    the floor but I stepped onto the holy ground and called to McHale
    to come over but he didn't hear me so I called over to Stoyko and
    gestured for him to come over for a picture.  He nodded, stopped
    shooting and came over.  I gave Mike the high-tech point and shoot
    no brainer camera and stood next to Stoyko.  Sheesh, that is one
    tall dude (especially from my perspective).  Mike (almost) did what he 
    was supposed to do but he somehow turned off the flash so we had
    to repeat the pic.
    FWIW, I think the top o' my haid mebbe made it to his bottom rib!
    
    We hung around the floor for a while, hoping that maybe lady luck
    would allow us to stay on the floor and see the game but as it got
    closer to gametime, the GG started "escorting" folks outa there.
    
    Mike wasn't orgyastic about sitting in the nose-bleed seats and
    recommended that we got to one of his favorite spots where, he was
    sure, we could park and see the game undisturbed.  He was right.
    Without telling *exactly* where the seats were, lemme tell ya that
    they were ~19 rows above the court. 
    
    And the rest y'all don't wanna be bored wif.  
    
    As a side comment, while this was a very special occasion, and I'm
    glad Mike was with me, I gotta say that for most of the game, I
    thought I was in a morgue!  No electricity, no (really very little)
    cheering.  It was a bit of a downer....
    I'm glad that my love of college BBall was justifiably re-inforced.

    Mikey,
    
    slipped that one in 1st.....

 Kev, for real excitment come down to the BET with me. Oh yeah Thanks again
 despite the loss I still had a_excellent adventure....

 mike

    Mike,
    	I've already begun hoarding my pennies and dreaming of the BET.
    
    T'aint told my SO about it yet so ........
    
    Now THAT's gonna be my kind o' good time!!!!!

    True. But I doubt that a Nation Of Islam meeting would use the word
    either.
