Some of ya’ll might know me from when i got 20 pts on my Virginia JV basketball team, or when i was the weak side defensive end, aka house of “housce” ? (still don’t know how to spell that, sorry lads.) on the football team and got that interception, and sprinted like Óðin´s horses at a blazing speed of negative -2 yards per second and made it to the 10 yard line. (Biggest regret in life, never getting a high school touchdown and a close second, having a son called Lóki, who later released the “Fenrir” woolf (i know “wolf” is spelled with one “o” but Óðinn be damned, it’s a missed opportunity to shout out our other 4 legged related doggos, my dog is called “Max” and is a French Briard ), i’m sure the latter will never come back to “bite” me in the ass (if you’re a dad, or a scholar of the Viking Sagas ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose\_Edda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose_Edda) aka the Viking Bible)i better hear a collective groan/high five)).
Where was i?
As a huge basketball fan, and i watch Euroball, hell, i even played ( some of you might know me as bench player number 14 when my seventeen year old buddy scored a whopping 3 points against “ya’ll” ([https://www.tiktok.com/@jonballer7/video/7222248228643802394](https://www.tiktok.com/@jonballer7/video/7222248228643802394)).
I just wanted to say, ya’ll have an amazing team, it’s so much fun to watch, the energy, the passion, thee talent. well done!
I like watching Luka play, you guys, Rockets and Timberwolves (both are surprising everyone. T woolves need to have an “i apologise” sheet about drafting Rudy) Celtics (i used to live in Ireland).
Anyway, ya’ll are must watch basketball imho, just wanted to say be proud of your team, like Chet is a cheat-code, SGA and that Aussie fella..man, what an awesome team and ii never ragret staying up watching your team play.
On that note, as we say in Ireland/Iceland, happy holidays from Iceland and i hope everyone in this sub has a lovely time and if i ever come back to the states, i’m gonna see a game!
Go Thunder!
Grammatical tangent –
* //Why do i lowercase “i”? Because English is the only language that capitalizes it and that was due to a mistake , and “i” comes from the German “ich” the ch was dropped and we can only theorize as to why but it doesn’t make sense, i feel it’s bc of this “cunt” One famous example of this can be seen in Geoffrey Chaucer’s original Canterbury Tales, where he wrote the personal pronoun ‘I’ much taller and bolder than its lowercase equivalent”.[https://scottabutler.medium.com/why-do-we-capitalise-i-6ed4548d7261](https://scottabutler.medium.com/why-do-we-capitalise-i-6ed4548d7261)
* //”Sentences can’t end in a proposition, such as “where is x ..at?”
* No, there is nothing that says they can’t. It’s part of a style guide and if you’re feeling frisky you can add ..”where is x at, muthafucka?” (shout out to Samuel Jackson)
* Don’t get me started on “begs the question” vs ” raises the question”.
