Dramatic Chipmunk
Thank you Boing Boing and whoever created this masterpiece of drama for giving me a sore gut. I think it sums up all of Shakespeare in 5 seconds.
(And I know it is not a Chipmunk, but their title was much funnier than rodent-related title I could come up with.)

Oh the humanity!
I just woke up from a horrible nightmare: I dreamed that the Jazz were forced to bring back Ostertag because of team injuries. He played point guard.Dear god!
(In my waking moments I know such a move is impossible, but it sure shows my anxiety about the Jazz, doesn't it?)

You gotta love it, baby!
Fisher, however, headed straight for the scorer's table once he arrived in the third quarter from a trip to New York with his family, and checked in immediately. The crowd erupted in a huge ovation, and after the game, several of Fisher's former teammates on the Warriors hugged him in support.
'He's a big-time player,' Williams said. 'He's a special player. He's hit big shots all his career. For him to do what he did . . . He got off the plane, he didn't warm up, he didn't stretch. He didn't shoot a jump shot. . . . There's not enough that could be said about him.'(Salt Lake Tribune - Fisher's timely return sparks Jazz O.T. victory, 2-0 series lead)
I've seen a lot of basketball in my time, but I don't think I've seen a more fascinating and dramatic game. Take these memorable moments: Dee Brown's neck nearly snapping under Okur's weight; Fisher walking into the game in the 3rd; Williams lofting a perfect last-second shot; and Fisher snapping off that 3 in over time.
Oh my.
Hey, I predicted the Jazz would make it to the second round after their first game of the season. I'm predicting they'll tough it out to the 3rd now. They'll have a rough time in Oakland tomorrow, however, but I think they might just steal a game there.
