You should’ve posted at 09:09.09 AM on September 9, 2009.
A couple of months back, I missed the 12:34.56 PM on July 8. 2009 (123456789).
I’m never on time.

Wow… I never actually took time THAT seriously. But that would’ve been cool.
Now that I checked it, I posted at 8:08. An hour and a minute off… so close.

Dont worry you still have plenty of time to catch the next special date

Well, there’s also December 21, 2012 to look forward to. By then, Duncan will have resigned, and perhaps Pop too, so life wouldn’t be worth living anymore anyway.

If Duncan resigned — then that would be reason to celebrate! Resign = sign again. Nothing could stave off the end of the world like Timmeh deciding to keep playing.
Could you have meant retired?

According to Merriam-Webster and the Wikitionary:
Resign: To quit a job or position
Re-sign: To sign again; to provided one’s signature again
"If an expert says it can't be done, get another expert"
- DBG
To sign again is either resign or re-sign, the hyphen is alternative and there are almost as many links showing it one way as the other. But that’s just semantics.
My point is that players don’t resign when they’re done playing, they retire.

True, the typical word used is retired. It also has a subtle difference in meaning. When one retires he does it because he is too old, while when one resigns he does not like his job or moves on to something better.

Dammit. I just resigned from my job a few months back (then I moved on to being a bum), which is probably why I still think of the word every now and then. But yes, “retire.” Dammit.

Can we just use “re-up” for a player who signs another contract after the present one expires? It’s slang and hip, perfect for today’s generation of one-on-one, 7 seconds or less basketball.

5 letters or less: NBA, ESPN, SBN, PTR, JRW, Davis, LE, LD, ATS, and many others. Hipuks would have to be Hipuk though.

If that happened I would completely lose my identity and reply to comments with thing such as Lol, or :) .

I never called you out on it, but one of your pictorial journeys had a title of “Hipuk’s Pictorial Journey” – which means that you actually referred to yourself as Hipuk.
by silverandblack_davis on Sep 10, 2009 5:05 AM CDT up reply actions
Ok, this is just too revealing. The singular Hipuk vs the plural “identity” of Hipuks combined with the fact that he replies to himself all the time added to the “Hipuk’s Pictorial Journey” (apparently only one of his multiple personalities is a photographer) — it all adds up.
Hipuks Hipuk, we’re here to help you. We’re your friends. Please don’t push us away.
Let us help.

Ha, this reminds me about a month back when I took my g/f to see district 9, she thought I had taken her to see 9. Oh and I got blamed for it too, go figure!
Dude, she didn’t like District 9? It was tha bomb.

Agreed. Way more interesting than the previews made it look.

I agree. I enjoyed it very much, but she freaks out with bugs, so the prawns grossed her out, plus some of the violence did too. I had to remind her that some of the crap in the movie Moon had some similarities to District 9. She stopped arguing there. :D
You should take her to see 500 Days of Summer.

I’m gonna watch that movie because Zooey Deschanel is my new girlfriend. Well, she just doesn’t know it yet but soon… very soon.

Hipuks, been there done that. It’s actually a pretty good movie. :D This past weekend we went to watch Julie & Julia which I liked as well, it had a lot of funny moments.
Wow, Julia and Julia huh? You must be earning a lot of points with your significant other.

And Julia Childs was a spy in WWII before she knew a thing about cooking.
That’s cool!

I better be earning lots of redeemable points, that’s for sure! Haha. Actually I do enjoy those types of movies so I can’t really complaint.
Besides, I have an excuse to take her to those other mindless/action flicks that I watch sometimes. All I have to say is “remember that movie we watched last time that YOU wanted to go to?” ;)
Win-win for me! w00t!
This is the best fanpost ever.
