You Live for The Draft When That's All That You've Got

(Please welcome StR's newest front page contributor ... Exhibit G! -- TZ)
TZ and Section have asked me to join them as a front page contributor to Sactown Royalty. I was very honored by the offer, had to change my pants, and accepted. I owe a big thanks to those of you who kept recommending my FanPosts.
I obsess over the Kings. The obsession comes through as a mixture of idiocy and occasional insight. I love to debate basketball, and I love being able to share my passion with like-minded souls such as yourselves. I can be very opinionated. I'm (sometimes) willing to admit when I'm wrong. I (usually) won't claim to know everything.
I'm probably best known for my lyrics posts such as Douby Tuesday and Hey Ricky! Every now and then I try to get deep, like in Peach-Basket Poetry. But the public seems to enjoy the lyrics, so I figured they would be a proper introduction for me. Without further ado, I'll let Jon take it from here...
Griffin and a Prayer after the jump...
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Vlade used to work on the blocks
We made Natt take a hike
We’re down on our luck...it's tough, so tough
Petrie works the wire all day
Working for Maloofs, he brings home the picks
For us - for us
He says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got cap space and that's a lot
For us - we'll give it a shot
Whooah, we're 25% there
Whooah , Griffin and a prayer
Pick our ball and we'll make it - I swear
Whooah , Griffin and a prayer
K-Mart’s got his jump shot on lock
But he's hobbled when, when he used
To be able to walk – no limp, no limp
K-9 dreams the days away
When he sits on the bench
Carril whispers GP it's okay, someday…
We've got to hold on to the cap space we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If K-9 plays or not
We've got cap space and that's a lot
For us - we'll give it a shot
Whooah, we're 25% there
Whooah , Griffin and a prayer
Pick our ball and we'll make it - I swear
Whooah , Griffin and a prayer
We've got to hold on, Rubio or not
You live for the draft when it's all that you've got
Whooah, we're 25% there
Whooah , Griffin and a prayer
Pick our ball and we'll make it - I swear
Whooah , Griffin and a prayer

Congrats Ex G!
Well deserved! We need a song about getting good luck in the lottery. Happy to see you up front man!

Isn't That what this song is about?
Congrats Ex to the G. It took me awhile to read this post because I had to read it while singing to the rythym of the original tune.
You live for the draft, when that’s all (drum hit) – that (drum hit)- you (drum hit)- got (drum hit)!
Whoa, we’re half-way there. Whooa-OHHHHH, livin’ on a-
Dude, I gotta go. Must. Play. Guitar. Hero.

This is why I actively avoid contributing anything meaningful.

Now what did I do with that old "Miss Congeniality" sash?
But I’m not bitter…
Giving up half of the desk drawers was adjustment enough, but G is taller than me and he never adjusts the chair back up after he’s done with his writing. I should have seen the writing on the wall after I got drunk at the StR staff Christmas party last year and gave TZ’s cat a mohawk. I’ve taken the heat ever since, even though it was rbiegler’s idea.
Welcome aboard, G. And watch your back.
As for you, Ziller -
You’ve made a powerful enemy, my friend.

that was from me.
Just posting Bon Jovi’s 80s glam hair was worth a rec!
And any mention of Vlade is always a good thing.

It's funny
I was just wondering a few days ago whether this would happen after noticing that EG had about 50 bazillion-recommended posts up and down the side of the web page.
Kudos to TZ for opening the door.

And the hits just keep on coming.

LOL @ that
It’s a funny picture I got off the Iowa St SBN site, Clone Chronicles, that Cross Cyed, the former admin there, posted about making Cleveland St the official NCAA team for Clone Chronicles. I thought it was funny, so I decided to change my avatar. I might go back to the cow thing, but I might now. I really like this goofy lil sucker with the sword I tell ya.

Too edgy
It was my favorite, but this is nice middle ground.
