The 2008-09 Spurs Official Nickname, and other news...

The Garbage Pail Kids... or more specifically, Tim Duncan and The Garbage Pail Kids... I like that one better, because it has the ring of an old Motown group, like Gladys Knight and The Pips...

The reason this nickname fits, is because at this moment, anyone not named Tim Duncan has already shown a propensity to either get injured, or just grossly underperform. Roger Mason is really the only one who could be defended out of this bunch, though not by much...

Think about it... Garbage Pail Kids is perfect, and has a nice ring to it whenever you see guys come off our bench. Who doesn't live up to that name like Matt Bonner or Fab? The answer is nobody. Plus, they stink... ability-wise and probably literally....

Tim Duncan and The Garbage Pail Kids... 

 

Also, for anyone interested, I went to Wizard World over the weekend and came away with not only an artist (as I had been looking for...) but a publisher as well. I remember discussing with ATS, SiMA, and Tomasito, the book I was putting out, and now it seems that the process has been streamlined quite a bit. Hopefully I can fill you in on some concrete release details in the near future....

 

P.S. My name is really Justin Biehle, and not Scrappy-Doo.... just going to preemptively get that out of the way so as not to confuse anyone when they go looking for the book...

Well, I am not buying any book written by somebody named Justin B-anything. But, I wouldn’t HESITATE to buy a book by Scrappy-Doo.

I’m not even going to comment on you going to something called Wizard World.

Congratulations.

haha...

wizard world is just a huge comic con in dallas…. the book Im working on is a graphic novel (300, Sin City, etc) so I had to venture into foreign territory to find what I was looking for.

Lots of old men with shockingly provocative costume designing skills and way to much time… the horrors I saw, I would wish upon no man…

Congrats Justin, scraps. Keep us in the loop. My ex worked for a large book publisher so I’ve personally vowed off of books, but that’s exciting for you.

And I’ve always suspected that Fab’s one of those guys who has bad BO, he just has that ‘homeless drifter’ look to me. So the name works at least for him.

Congrats, man. Link us when the book is out. I’m curious.

+1 to all these. definitely keep us in the loop so you can get some support from the PtR family….not like we’re mobsters or anything…..that you know of.

I’d just stick with the whole mobsters theme…. makes us seem hardcore….
