I think you can sell out for either negative $ or positive $. An example of negative $ selling out is Karl Malone took a pay cut for a chance at a championship with the Lakers (Sold out Utah). An example of postive $ selling out is Carlos Boozer getting paid by the Jazz.

Speaking of repetitive...isn't money a necessary component of 'selling' out? Can you (have you?) sold out for something other than money?

Chicks, glory and a cocaine overdose, perhaps.

Does that answer the 'Can you' question or the 'Have you' parenthetical?

Well certainly the first one, but for the second I guess that would depend on the person of which you speak.

Just trying to learn a little more about you HF.

I was presuming the first, but thought you might have a secret life outside of D3Hoops that we didn't know about. 8)

Well I do, that is certain, it just doesn't involve illicit drugs. I'm actually a bit of a health nut (with the exception of my penchant for fast food value menus).

There is free beer at the LU games.

Don't they do that at IWU ?

They get "old people" mixed drinks. lol

Two years too late to do me any good, because I've already taken the transfer and pay cut to get away from him, but they walked my former boss out the door today. Morale and productivity within the department doubled in a matter of minutes.

Was that a full-fledged 'perp-walk', or merely a canning?

I did not witness the festivities myself, but as I understand it he was escorted off the property.

On a personal level I feel bad for him because he is a nice guy. On a professional note, he wasn't even remotely qualified for his position. So my sympathy is limited.

Yeah they get Pile-Drivers, vodka and prune juice.

Fruit Juice and Metamusil for the non-drinkers.

knightstalker your Dangerfield quote is incorrect............

Oh that's gotta be the worst looking hat I ever saw. I bet if you buy a hat like that you get a free bowl of soup. Oh but it looks good on you though.

FYI

Roop, it has been like that for two or more months, everyone get the point and it is not in quotes so...

The Roop · June 04, 2006, 04:47:35 PM

My karma was getting too high again so I had to make an issue out of nothing.

titan2000 · June 04, 2006, 10:02:34 PM

Gave you one Roop. I've got plenty to spare.

Knightstalker · June 05, 2006, 09:43:28 AM

Don't know how long it will last but I put you at a +1 roop.

Guy's you can't do this to me. I only get one karma on Roop per day. I think it was established in late March that "The Roop" must remain neutral or the consequences to the universe could be disastrous. I've been taking it upon myself to remedy any pluses or minuses that have come his way, but if too many people start getting involved, I'm going to have trouble.
