TAKE TEXAS BACK!
A bunch of thieves, thugs, and nutcases took over Texas. Then they used it as a stepping stone to Washington, DC.

They raided our treasury, stripped our schools and handed it all to their corporate cronies.

Y'all ready to do something about it?

TK Congratulates "Texan" Yao Ming on His Engagement

by: krazypuppy

Tue Jun 26, 2007 at 13:13:19 PM CDT

TK congratulates Yao Ming, the center for the Houston Rockets and probably the tallest Texan alive, on the recent announcement that is to marry his long time girlfriend and sweetheart, Ye Li.

Run, man, RUN! Run for the hills!!!

Uh, errrm, sorry, errr. Ignore that. Just the X chromosome acting up there again.

Seriously, a big congrats to you both!

And of course everyone is asking two questions: how tall is she and does she play basketball?

Well, for those of you looking to draft the Ming's future children, you're in luck. She's over 6'2" and she led China to 2nd place in the 2005 International Women's Basketball Tournament as their center.

That's almost 14 feet of Ming there!

Of course, height won't mean a damn thing if you can't find a guard who can pass him the ball as the Rockets seem to lack (or won't play).

How you miss a 8 foot Chinese guy standing in the middle of the court in TEXAS is beyond me!

Maybe the Rockets should learn Chinese (though Yao speaks perfect English) - or maybe they should learn Greek.

(Didn't want to FP this till I was done editing. Come on yall, let's play! All three Texas teams made the playoffs, and I imagine they have some fans lurking around here. Put together your bracket and win nifty prizes from our Cafepress store! - promoted by annatopia)

Ok folks, I can't imagine I'm the only basketball nerd around here.  =)

I want to do an NBA playoff basketball bracket competition.  Since our user base is fairly robust now, I'm hoping there's enough b-ball fans here in order to make a real competition out of it.

So... I thought we could have a contest with real prizes given out to the winners.  =)
