Ahhhh, the Balkman is white thread. Great memories. Funniest few days of my life. Never before have I seen more controversy and vitrole over a brilliant joke. I was called "uncle tom", "grand wizard of the KKK", "racist fool", "misguided black man", "white devil", "one funny mother f'er". What a great week.
Nalod-Funny stuff.

LOL!!! Bip do you have that thread bookmarked or something? I would seriously love to reread it - It was that funny.
I actually went back and read it a while ago and it wasn't as funny the 2nd time around. It needed the context of some of the other threads that were going around at the time. Remember, this board was racially charged at that point. It seemed like everyday we were fighting about race, someone was called a racist etc. Guys wanted to meet outside at high noon. Then someone made a thread about David Lee being a fan favorite because.........then I made the Balkman thread. At first it was a luke warm response, but then it just got out of control. It didn't matter what thread you went to somebody was mad at somebody else. The Balkman thread was just a catalyst for all the hilarity. I think Nalod's thread had the potential to do the same thing here, but unfortunately we all like each other too much at this point.
