David, this is great.

I know that you’re enjoying this as much as you can, and while it doesn’t change what you’re doing to have a write-up of it online, it’s still pretty cool.

Too cool! Happy you’re getting to do this, LD (even if my naturally black face is turning a hideous shade of envious green even as I type lol). Nice hat too! I’ve been rocking that one around College Station for awhile now, but had yet to see anyone else outside of SA wear it. I respect your taste, sir!

I haven’t been reading posts lately. It’s too much, with the Spurs losing most of their games.

Great story. Though I had no idea you were one of the leading voices of Spurs basketball.
As a fellow Argentine, I would hope your position of power would allow me to climb higher in PtR status through nothing but corruption.

Useless enough that you still have to pay full price for your coffee — at least that was the point I was trying to make.

Fuck, first Wayne becomes a goddam celebrity thanks to cookiegate, now LD becomes famous too. Y’all gotta start charging for PtR membership. But since I suggested it, I get free membership and premium ad space. thanks.
