That would be hard, er, difficult
Bill Simmons: "I hope Chris Paul sues. I hope the Rockets sue. I hope the Lakers sue. I
hope Dell Demps resigns and makes a sex tape with a stripper wearing a
David Stern Halloween mask."

Back off the bivalves, Bishop
"But there is not any property or circumstance of my being that I contemplate with more joy than my Immortality. I can easily overlook any present momentary sorrow, when I reflect that it is in my power to be happy a thousand years hence. If it were not for this thought, I had rather be an oyster than a man, the most stupid and senseless of animals than a reasonable mind tortured with an extreme innate desire of that perfection which it despairs to obtain."
-- Bishop George Berkeley
