Seems fitting.... someone mentions Shocky and we all went Off Topic.
In fact, I had forgotten that this was the hoops board and not the Off Topic board itself. My apologies.
To NV's initial point, I will say that you put words in my mouth, increased by someone else who likened my comment to Samantha Bee. Please. Try and understand that my initial post was intended with an amount of lightheartedness and facetiousness. SoCal and I have been going back and forth here for years, and we are nearly always aligned with one another. Thus, when he broke ranks, which even he was admitting wa surprising to him, by saying he missed Shocky, I went all hyperbole on him by calling HiM disgusting. We have a past relationship, you should know. We starred in a film together, produced by him. It won a "BIski" for the month.
(FYI: a BIski is a Bear Insider Oscar, awarded by Oski, thus BIski)
I continued the joke to mention Ivanka because there was a series of recent headlines (perhaps I falsely assumed you'd seen them) where she and troubled rich kid hubby happened to be at the same DC restaurant as Alex Ovechkin who was dining with THE Stanley Cup. A photo op occurred and Ivanka was touching the Cup in it, promptly folks to comment on social media that she had forever tainted the Cup. I thought that was kinda funny, if for only how over the top ridiculous it was, kinda like me calling SoCal disgusting, kinda like him saying he missed Shocky.
Hey, wait a minute.... oh, okay.... I get it. You got me. I only just now realized that you guys were in on the act. It IS a Trump world we live in... I see what you did there, very good, har har har.... you, TOO we're going over the top in your flaming me as well. Comparing my little bit of humor to Samantha Bee and her use of C*** vocabulary. Oh how fitting.
I see how this works now! It IS a Trump world we live in these days. That was very good. We are ALL just speaking in hyperbole. And that's the joke!
Spicer: "The LARGEST crowd ever"
Bee: "Ivanka is a ..."
SoCal: "I miss Shocky"
Me: "You are disgusting"
You: "You just called Ivanka a ...."
Cool. Okay, I'm good.
Love you all, and see you on the OT, where Shocky and his hyperbolic attempts to be "hip" originally belonged.
