• 81 points!!! I HATE Kobe Bryant, but I have got to hand it to the guy,
  I'm blown away by this. 81 fucking points in one game, its mind
  boggling. What is even more mind boggling is that he was still 19
  points from Wilt Chamberlin's record. There has always been a rumor (a
  rumor I don't believe) that Wilt's 100 point game never happened (it
  was 45 years ago, games weren't televised and some not even covered)
  and if that is the case, than Kobe's game would be the record. Amazing.

  This is going to sound very rude, immature and many other things, in
  fact, I probably shouldn't even mention it. Its best I don't say,
  because it is really going to make me look bad. Wait, I can't just say
  it and not mention it. On the other hand, its better left unsaid. Ok,
  fine, I will say it, but you all are going to think.......no, know it
  is wrong. When I see people in wheelchairs, a part of me can't help but
  think that person might be faking. I don't know why I think that way, I
  just do. I know, its real mean and totally classless of me. And its not
  even right to say something like that. Maybe its because I have a
  cousin who doesn't have legs and somehow, I associate the only people
  that need wheelchairs are people without legs, but every time I see
  somebody in a wheelchair, it crosses my mind. There, I said it.

  Man, sometimes I just hate having the name Mike or Michael, its just so
  damn common. And the worst part about it is the way people react when
  they find out you have the same name. I work in a call center and as
  you might imagine, frequently talk to other guys name Mike. They always
  make some sort of cheesy comment like "wow, what a great name, I have
  the same name!" and they talk to me like we are in some sort of
  fraternity together; sorta like the "Loyal Order of Guys Named Mike."
  They are just amazed that there is another person in the world with the
  same name as them. I mean, I can see if this were China, you know,
  being home to like practically 100 people, but this is the United
  States, there are almost 300 million people here, surely some of us are
  going to have the same name. And since Michael was the number one baby
  name for some 17 years in a row, you are bound to run into a few people
  with your name. The name Michael was given to 26991 boys  in the USA
  in 2003 alone! Of
  course, being the number #1 name for such a long time means that this
  thing is only going to get worse and worse. But being in the Fraternity
  of Mikes, I guess that comes with a certain measure of stature and I
  should embrace it and treat these fellow Mikes like they are family,
  which in a way, I guess they are. "Oh, your name is Mike, so is mine,
  that means that you can give me $50, right? Come on man, we are Mikes,
  I shouldn't even have to ask, I should be able to take your wallet out
  of your pocket and help myself. And while you are at it, give me your
  car keys. Oh, and can I get a bite of your burger?" Get over it dude,
  we have the same name, thats it. You are probably some fucking dumbass
  that watches Spike tv and listens to Toby Keith. Its not like our names
  are Quaid or Ermer, we are Mikes and so are about another 10 million
  other people in the world. Ok, maybe its not quite that many. Just look
  at this list of famous Mikes/Michaels, you have Jordan, Jackson, Ditka,
  Tyson, Douglas, Caine, Flatley, Fox, Keaton, and Moore, just to name a
  few. Get over it people, you have a common name, don't act like its the
  first time you have come across somebody with the same name. Now, if
  they have the same birthday, first, middle and last name and social
  security number than you might have something. In fact, than you should
  be surprised or even concerned. Ok, not just concerned, but you probably
  should be prepared for an identity crisis of some kind. But until then,
  lay off of it. We have the same name, get over it.
