Somebody stole my basketball team!

I can't believe it's true. The jerk from Oklahoma City who bought my childhood team, traded away the good players, and then had the gall to complain about Seattle's "ancient" 13 year old arena, finally finished the shafting job he started and moved the team to Oklahoma City.

That's not even the part that I'm angry about. I had no particular attachment to any of the current players. Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp are long gone. But the team still had the name "Supersonics", the logo, the colors and 41 years of history. This Oklahoman, Clay Bennett, is taking the banners, the records, our 1979 championship trophy...none of that ever had anything to do with Oklahoma City, it belongs in Seattle.

I guess the only thing I can do is resort to name calling. What? The team needs a new name because "SuperSonics" doesn't make any sense for a team from Oklahoma City. There's no aerospace industry there. Let's see...

The Oklahoma City Cow Pies?...That might work, I'm sure there's cow poop in Oklahoma City. But something just isn't ringing quite right with that, it doesn't flow...

The Oklahoma City Slackjawed Yokels?...No, they'd want something more descriptive of the team, not the people out in the bleachers...

The Oklahoma City Weasels?...I'm getting closer, that definitely describes the owner...

The Oklahoma City Basketball Team That is Going to Suck For Another 10 Years, Never Develop a Fanbase in Hicktown, and Have to Relocate Somewhere Else Anyway, Good For Nothing Pathetic Losers...

What? They could use small letters and basketball players are big...it would fit I tell ya!

Indian Thriller: What the hell are they smoking?

Because I want some of it. I dunno if this scary, funny, mind blowing or all of them.

Now I know why they say that Bollywood is an adquiered taste
