Stroking My War-Beard, I Throw Another Clipper into the Blaze!

As the horn of victory was blown, I surveyed the scene. Fetid smoke rose from the Los Angeles Clippers’ bench, and airborne cinders of destruction danced in the spotlights.

Oh, how the mighty beard of Baron Davis dripped with its owners bitter tears! Nearby, Eric Gordon’s globular head, a near-perfect reflection of a basketball’s outline, suffered partial deflation. And the ginger citadel known as Blake Griffin was caked with remorse ... and some of those brightly-colored streamers that descend from the pavilion’s rafters after a foe is vanquished!

Thus did I behold my handiworkings and fiercely smile a fearsome smile. Patty Mills approached deferentially, bowing and whispering, “The carnage is complete. There is no further insult you can lay upon them. See how even now they drag bodies from the parquet? And among those who live and breathe, none dare meet your gaze.”

SILENCIO!” I bellowed as the pint-sized native of Oceania cowered. “‘There is no further insult’ possible? Dios mio, have you never heard of replays of the instant?

No worries, mate!” Patty brightly responded.

  8. Whether real Rudy is aware of faux-Rudy has long been a matter of speculation. For now, it is an unknown!

    As to the Twittering, alas... there are only so many horas in the dia! Also, for a time, another party maintained a false Rudy account... one would hate to imitate an imitator who is aping the fake blog of the real player!

  10. Too bad about the twittering ;). One more thing - you seem to know a lot about him and the Spanish culture (those references to Cervantes are hilarious). Is that a result of previous studies or do you spend a lot of time researching for your blog postings?
