Horrible What I Did To You: Greatest Hits

That false return stunt was horrible, horrible, horrible. But now DeceptivelyQuick really is back. As the first order of business, we need to celebrate this one year anniversary thing. Here are some posts you probably haven't seen:

• Mike Dunleavy's ability to decrease the value of a basketball.
• Ime Udoka's defense
• Comcast thinks Sergio Garcia is Sergio Rodriguez
• The Blazers Wanted Crazy People, then realized crazy people are crazy and abandoned the project
• I Stalk The Blazers on Myspace!
• I tried to post 100 entries in a day. It didn't work out.
• DeceptivelyQuick poetry jam

Thanks! Good to be back. Of course, no DeceptivelyQuick celebration is comlete without at least linking to this.

On the last night of the season, I stumble across some old gold

I was walking down the street and saw some cool looking graffiti, cool enough to take a picture of with my phone and make my new wallpaper. The occasional trip through my stored images file is always entertaining (to me). I came across a picture of the first smart car I saw driving around Portland, a shot that was the front page of the Oregonian sports section that includes Ime Udoka grabbing Mike Miller's groin (and Mike making a hilarious face of anguish), some shoes I saw, and then......











Oh man. Drink it in.

This picture was taken 11/25/06. Something big must have been on my mind to forget about this and not share it. The ball was in a bucket, which was also for sale (but NOT included with purchase of Dunleavy memorabilia). I must also add that this little bit of comedy was found in the second hand section of a small mom & pop style general store in a town that has less people than Johan Petro has points in his career.


By the way, it was a BRAND NEW leather Spalding basketball, seen here retailing for 39.99. I know the fans were rough on Mikey out in the Bay, I know he hasn't really lived up the the #3 pick and huge contract, but to decrease the value of a ball 75%? Ouch.
