NBA ANNOUNCES SALE TO THE WWE. by the Unassociated Press

National Basketball Assn. commissioner David Stern announced at his office in Peoria that the NBA corporation has been sold to the World Wrestling Entertainment corporation for an undisclosed amount and that it will now be known as the NBE (National Basketball Entertainment). WWE leader and CEO Vince McMahon told press there would be a few rule changes, however the current rules of not calling traveling, illegal dribbles or carrying the ball would remain unchanged. The major rule change is that any body contact that does not cause reconstructive surgery or death will be allowed. However, they will continue the policy of any contact against a superstar on a team in a major metropolitan demographic area will be called a foul, regardless of how little the contact actually was. Also, the number of timeouts will be increased to allow for more television commercials. WWE officials will now officiate the games (to be referred to as “matches”) and they will be trained by the new commissioner of officials, Tim Donaghy. Although financial details of the sale were not released, a source close to Stern said the teams will share in an amount close to $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000.39.

In a related story, the L.A. Lakers announced they have signed three new players, Jack Nicholson, Simon Cowell and Lady Gaga. It is expected the signing of those three will result in a large increase in attendance. Stern announced he is now out of a job but the National Hacky Sack Assn. has expressed interest in hiring him as their new commissioner.

The Copyright Police Are Watching ...
 

Hey Mark Padgett: Haven't you been paying attention? jbduke has requested that Forum members respect fair-use doctrines and not copy-and-paste entire works to the Forum.

I've heard that the copyright police are stepping up patrols because of the holiday weekend. They know that alcohol, fireworks, and copyrighted material don't go well together and can lead to a ton of trouble. You may be wearing a different set of stripes in the near future.

The Unassociated Press syndicate is owned by Skippy Weaselpants Media, Inc. and I have his permission to use any of their stuff. He also owns the newspaper, The Antarctican Daily Penguin, so I can get stuff from that, too.

Gee, I wish he owned a pharmacy. :o

Been Watching Too Many MLB Games ...
 

But did you get "the express written consent"?

Yes. Here it is.

U kin youse enny uv mi stuf fur wuttevver - sined, Skippy Weaselpants, eskwier.

BTW - did I mention that Skippy is a Yale graduate, just like former NBA player Chris Dudley, who is now the Republican nominee for governor of Oregon? ;)

I think this is an old story.

I mean, look at the circus going on now with the Free Agents. I don't think the WWE/NBE writers could come up with these plot lines this quickly, do you? Who will be Lebron's Tag Team Partner?

Ok, maybe they could......

How will this new venture affect Vince McMahon's wife's political career? Inquiring minds want to know! ;)

Does reproduction still require express written consent? Is Kobe aware of this?

Not much could have an effect on her political career. Her opponent could probably get away with falsifying a military career.

What?

Oh, well, see what I mean?
