Barkley promises to deliver on bet by kissing up to Smith

November 20, 2002

Pucker up, Charles.

Charles Barkley said Wednesday that he would honor his ill-advised bet with TNT co-analyst Kenny Smith by smooching his colleague's rear-end on Barkley's talk show.
Barkley's bet came last Thursday night as he and Smith debated the weaker-than-expected game of Yao Ming, the Houston Rockets' 7-foot-6 rookie center from China.

Barkley said he'd kiss the above-mentioned part of Smith's anatomy if Yao scored 19 points in a game. At the time, the bet seemed a safe one for Barkley: Yao averaged just 3.3 points in his first six games before he scored 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting in a loss to Phoenix last Friday night.

Just two nights later, Yao scored 20 points -- making all nine of his field-goal attempts -- in a 93-89 victory over the Lakers in Los Angeles. Although the Lakers didn't have Shaquille O'Neal, the performance was enough to make Barkley eat his words.

``I am going to pay up (Thursday) night, Barkley said Wednesday on CNN's ``TalkBack Live'' program. ``If you make a bet, you pay up. I just told Kenny to take a shower before the show. I made the bet and I'm going to stick by my word. Ugh.''

Smith's replied by saying, ``Sometimes even when you win, you lose.''

Barkley said payment will be delivered during his talk show, ``Listen Up!'' which airs at 7 p.m. EST on Thursday night, before TNT's doubleheader.

*sigh* LONG LONG LONG night ahead of me..

so much crap for tomorrow and friday..

but then again, there's good 'ole THANKSGIVING BREAK!!

while browsing through various scholarship opportunities, i found this..

The AFSA Scholarship Essay Contest is open to high school seniors who plan to further their education at a college, university or certified trade school. You must write a 700 to 1,000 word essay on the following topic: How do fire sprinklers function and where are they required in your community?

3 words: WHAT THE CRAP.

Y(eah) Y(eah) Y(eah) -

Origin: The etymology of this phrase is deeply rooted in the tradition of the

American Afro-culture found in the Deep South. An astute language

aficionado in Ms. Failla's sixth period Business Law class observed this

verbal anomaly and took note of its potential. With his landmark

discovery, a new age, one could almost say the Pax Romana of

linguistics, has dawned upon the civilized world. Surprisingly there has

been recent criticism of “yyy.” In response, a direct quote from the

aforementioned scholar:

"Although some might argue that this phrase, due to its multi-

dimensional nature, will bring forth the corruption to the integrity and

structure of the English language, that it will replace other terms in a

‘nonsensical’ fashion and thereby rendering the language devoid of

meaningful words, well, to that I say.....…hmm…hmm…hmm…

hmm………….hmm… yeah, yeah, yeah!”



Alex Y.

Needless to say, the clear superiority of the phrase is obvious in its

being quickly and expertly adopted into a concise yet powerful rebuttal.



Meaning: The leading researcher and authority in the field has reached the

general consensus that “yeah yeah yeah” is a loose translation of “I

strongly agree” in ebonics. However, the hallmark of the phrase is

precisely its ability to transcend the language and incorporate many

different meanings. Among those officially recognized are a consent of

quiet acceptance, a cry of triumphant exclamation, a polite “you’re

welcome” to an expression of gratitude, a sigh of sympathy, a shout of

mutual joy, a heartwarming “hi,” an unforgettable “good-bye” (not to

mention a mild yet resounding diss), in short, simply a beginning and

an……..yyy



PASS IT ON....PEOPLE



hehe...just having a little fun! God Bless! alex

...

now will someone please tell me what the heck that was all about?!

ahh..only 2 more days until thanksgiving break!!

wait..friday is a holiday..right??

Asianx001: and, btw, it was me who sprayed windex on eric's paper..

alritey..finally got around to updating the pics page..
my apologies to all of you people who have been waiting for my calculus notes or hw or w/e..
my advice: copy down some of the stuff that you don't understand, and then only use my stuff as reference material.

well, anyways..
fyi, gideon has been taking most of the damage from me using his server for space..
er, in more practical terms, gideon's server has been suffering ever since ive been using it.
so, as a favor to him, and all of you guys who check up on my pics page, i am considering switching my pictures (maybe even my videos) to pbase.
however, once again, it may be a while until i actually put my words into action, so gideon, don't get too excited.

ah..pretty good day today.

psychology class w/out rubin was great..
i spent half the time eating and the other half teaching myself how to do a handstand.

in calculus, eric chan remembered that on friday, when mrs. stephenson was absent, he had forgot that she would check thursday's hw on monday, so for some unknown reason, he had accidentally sprayed windex on his hw. afterwards he hung it up on the chalkboard to dry, but today, it is nowhere to be seen.

unfortunately, mrs. stephenson only has a "vague recollection" of eric doing his hw during class on thursday, so she can not give him credit for the hw.
eric: oh well, not like i'm gonna get an A anyways
me: yeah, that's true.
eric: if you aim low, you never get disappointed.
me: haha where'd you get that from?
eric: a poster in elementary school

terrible..such exposure to pessimism at such a young age..
maybe THAT'S why eric is so mest up. =P

YAO MING, BABY!.

tonight:

9-9 shooting from the field, 2-2 from the free throw line, 6 rebounds, and 20 points.
ALL in 23 minutes.
