9:30pm - legend here....im wasted....balto is here too....he's wasted too....bang...it's 9:30 in the P. M. - happy st pat's type set
I have a story I'd like to share with the Typeset...About an hour ago, my team had just walked back up from the cafeteria with our lunches. I was heading to grab a water when i saw a senior analyst about 20 feet away, holding an orange, and waved hello. However, at the last possible nanosecond, I realized that not only did the aforementioned coworker toss the orange to me, but that it was about to connect in the worst possible spot a guy can get hit. It connected perfectly, a swoosh shot, nothing but net. I immediately dropped to a knee and let out a muffled scream. There were no less than 6 people directly around me watching this unfold. After realizing what he'd done, the analyst darted across the floor to me and pulled me into a side hallway out of common view. Once there, he darted off like Pacman Jones fleeing the police. I wished we could have had him miked up for when he got back to his office as he said things to himself like, "oh fudge, i'm getting fired." (I later stopped by to let him know everything was cool - about 15 min ago though, a VP swung by my office and said, "Hey Legend, wear a cup tommorow."). Back to the story...so I crawled into the bathroom to wait for the pain to subside. Now you may be asking yourself, why am I telling you this? Because the only thing i could think about while reeling in pain in that rest room was, "Fudge, I just cost myself a spot on the company softball team."
Gotta love sports....
I think I just fudged in my pants.
R.I.P.

January 2007 - March 2007
Rather than type a eulogy for the Typeset, I'll leave it in the hands of a more able man, some might even say the voice of his generation...Jalen Rose:
"There's always going to be criticism when your name is Jalen. You have to wear a bulletproof vest and be ready for it."
"Like I told the guys earlier, once he turns 21 and is able to drink, it's over." - on LeBron dropping 56 on the Raptors.
"I've got to stop this. My entourages are getting entourages."
-on the trouble finding tickets for everyone when he returns to Detroit.
"I really like Rafer Alston. We get along great. We have a lot of fun times together that I can’t share with you guys."
"He probably was a little tired from All-Star weekend. While he was running up and down the court throwing it off the backboard, I was laying on the beach drinking a fruity drink with an umbrella. So I probably gave myself an unfair advantage on that one.” - explaining why he outplayed Vince Carter two days after the All-Star Game.
