As we know, NBA players talk trash to each other on the court. It’s natural; many of us did that on the playground as well.
Charlie Villanueva made some news this week when he accused Kevin Garnett of calling him a “cancer patient”. The media was up in arms, because it’s obvious you can’t say that since it has the word “cancer” in it.
Garnett defended himself with:
My comment to Charlie Villanueva was in fact ‘You are cancerous to your team and our league.’
If Garnett doesn’t deserve scorn for such a transparent lie, he should be mocked for how mind-bogglingly weaksauce that “insult” is. (As a point of comparison, my trash talk consists of “Your improper arm extension impacts the accuracy of your free throws.”)
If any of you want to adapt this for your chess games (say if you’re playing a kid who stubbornly continues a dead-drawn endgame), try the following taunt to throw your opponents off their game: “You are cancerous to our club and the USCF.” That’ll show ’em. Of course, FIDE, FICS, etc. can be substituted for the USCF as needed.
You are cancerous to this blog and the those who read it :p
damn. this post was cancerous to this blog. it killed all activity on this blog since Nov 6.
We’d better be careful. Donnie might be gathering enough evidence to sue us for calling him a cancer patient 😛
Hahahah, that was awesome. I keep saying how Donnie is KILLING LEP and no one believes me.
The court ordered me to stay away from computers while the trial’s going on, so I’d better go.
@Q: Bravo! This was the obvious joke, and I didn’t even think about it.
@Allen: We were all just honoring Veterans’ Day by not posting until today. Of course.
@Mascot: Heads up: you might have a couple issues with the judge tomorrow.
