Had a longtime customer from the OKC. He dead now. Anyway, he used to beam about “my Thunder”. This is their year, we hope. This is dedicated to him. He must be screaming now, wherever he may be.

Got a lot of hoodlumsz on the Jakers, anyway. Every one of them is a violent, entitled creature. On the other hoof, Kareem Alcindor on the J! show the other night. A reasonably cultured specimen. In contrast, Bynum, Koobie will not soon be asked to be on it anytime soon.
