Dancing in Socks Guy is a big Phoenix Suns fan, and since we've been together, they have become my favorite team as well, even though I'm from Boston. In my defense, up until this season, the Celtics just haven't been worth watching.
So, Boston is at Phoenix tonight and we're "watching" the game together, with him calling me at the quarters. One thing we noticed in the pre-game stuff was Steve Nash talking about the Shaquille O'Neal trade -- the usual stuff, like (paraphrasing) "this is great" and "it's a bold trade but just what we need."
So I said to Dancing in Socks Guy, "You know how meaningless that is, right? They could sign 4'9" Mary Lou Retton and Nash would say something about how out-of-the-box and original this is and that everyone thinks in terms of getting someone who can shoot over people's heads but not of someone who could shoot from between their legs, and this is just what they needed and blah blah blah ..."
I made him snort beer with that one :)
