The Nuggets color's are blue and gold I believe, with a smattering
of the rainbow, I believe. FWIW, I think that the Nuggets have the
best uniforms in the league.
Oh yes, they play at McNicholls Arena.

It is also one of the best places to watch a game in the country.
Beautiful arena, pretty convienent for all (it's actually in HOUSTON

Actually, Knickerbocker arena is in Albany, The Knicks play in the

the Knickerbockers...

| Knickerbockers comes from teh Dutch influence in NY. Also, Im
sure you all remember Ruperts KNICKERBOCKER beer! You cain still
find it in certain classy establishments, like Berts Burp and Puke
in Hoboken ;-)
Didnt Rupert own the Knnicks at one time? OF COURSE, Knickerbockers
comes from Knickers, or loose pants gathered just below the knee
- the term Knickerbockers was used to describe the dutch, who had
a penchant for wearing such garb.

did last year when he played in Charlotte. The red in his jersey had
faded into the white leaving him with a very noticable red and pink
uniform.

Of course it's all a matter of opinion, but until I saw Orlando's road
uniforms this year, I thought Denver's were the absolute ugliest costume
I've seen in ANY sport...except for the Cleveland Browns.
My vote goes to the T-wolves with the Hornets running a close second
for nicest duds in the NBA.
I'd put it in that order also for best emblem.

working on my dad's car. They had a cooler of Black Labels, and my
dad let me have one. He told me not to chug it.
Well, I soon caught onto the fact that the two guys were realy busy,
so when I finished my first one, I took another, placing the empty
back in the cooler. Every time my dad looked at me I had one
in my hand. He'd say "YOu still drinking that son?" I'd say "Sure
Dad, you said not to chug it".
after a while, he'd say "Ain't that kinda warm?", and I'd say "I like
it that way, Dad". By the time he and his buddy found out what I'd
been pulling (i.e when one of them grabbed an empty outta the cooler)
my dad was pissed, but when he found me I was sound asleep in a corner
of the garage, and he couldn't help but laugh....

Aside from a few slugs from my dad's Knickerbocker, (remember when
you needed a "church key"), I never got blasted until some friends
and I went, appropriately enough, to a Broons game. My older bro'
did the buyin and drivin', and a friend and I sat in the back of
the family station wagon and split a *whole six pack* of Colt 45.
We took the subway and were sitting there laughing our asses off
over absolutely nothing and people were looking at us real funny,
which got us started even more. Things got pretty dizzy by the
end of the first period, but at least we didn't fall down or ralph.
I think we slept on the way home.

You're talking out yer anus. I was there. Believe me, it didn't go

Seriously, they decided that they would chose the Whalers since when
they inevitabley "floundered" like they always do, the fans would
call them the Flounders. And when they really had a dog team
we'd call them the Hounders....
I think the dorkiest thing they ever did was to name the stupid
Whale. You remember that dumb looking blue whale (or was it green?)
that they had painted on the ice? Well, some yuppie babe came up
with the name "Puckie". Hell, all my buddies and I called it

I should have said I am a Brit and we here in the UK get little or no
coverage of the NBA games (not even the playoffs) and we did enjoy
watching some of the games while we were over on holiday in Canada at
my parents' house. I'm trying to get them to write to the TV Stations

NBA basketball is about 20 light years better than the British/European

salary-wise)

For the Mountain Man types it means taking a 12-16oz beer and draining the
glass without tasting the beer.
This procedure is followed usually by a very loud belch.

| Steve --
Chugging is sort of an art form. Basically you take (as has been
previously mentioned) a 12oz or 16oz beer, uncap it, and pound
it down as fast as humanly possibly.
I had one friend who could chug a quart of beer (32oz) but he
had this nasty habit of getting violently sick about half an hour
later.
Now, chugging, while an art form, is not, in my mind, quite a civilized
thing to do. Beer is something you have to enjoy, and therefore, to
pound it down really quickly doesn't allow maximum enjoyment. Thus,
if I'm doing any chugging, I don't do it with a really good beer
and NEVER, NEVER with a homebrew...
And re hoops on British TV.... I'll make you a deal. If you can send
more soccer coverage over (esp Liverpool) then I'll see what I can
do about the NBA exporting some games!

It's called Dogbolter Ale, and it started out as a kit, but if you

beer.
