Choose the Adventure! The Doratio Kane Chronicles

Doratio_medium

Hello All! Now that the draft and summer league have come and gone, we're about to enter the doldrums of summer, with only perhaps a Sean May fat joke to comfort us in the meanwhile.  So for fun, I've decided to write a weekly adventure of Doratio Kane to keep us entertained.  And I'd like some audience participation.  At the end of each story, a poll will be given for what Doratio should do next.  Part 1 of the Doratio Kane Chronicles will be up next week, and its up to you guys to choose the topic.  So here are your options:

1. Doratio Kane and the Hummus of Horror - Omri Casspi is found unconscious in his apartment next to package of Pita Chips and a container of open Hummus.  Its up to Doratio to find whats gone wrong.

2. Doratio Kane and the Summer League Skip-Out - Spencer Hawes mysteriously chooses not to participate in the Summer League.  What was he really doing?

3. Doratio Kane and the Gameplan of Gloom - Coach Kenny Natt keeps on coming up with the oddest strategies during games and the Kings are suffering for it.  Doratio must find out whats wrong.

4. Doratio Kane and the Aching Ankle - Kevin Martin has not been the same ever since an ankle injury.  What's wrong? What's preventing the healing?  A job for Doratio.

Hopefully this ends up being a lot of fun for me, the writer, as well as you the reader.  So go ahead and vote!  And feel free to suggest future story titles as well.

It's a long summer.

May as well weave all your plot lines into one exciting adventure. One a side note, hummus is real tasty if prepared right. I never would thought so had it known it was chick peas and mashed up gorbonzo beans, or whatever the heck it is.

Chickpeas are garbanzo beans

but yes, hummus is fantastic. It reminds me of a lighter bean dip.

If you want a good one get it the plain kind from Trader Joes and dip their blue corn tortilla chips in it. Fantastic.

Hummus of Horror

Because it rolls off the tongue so nicely.

I would also like to see DK and the PG of Peril, with Tyreke Evans as Two-Face. He’s a PG – no, he’s not – yes, he is – no, he’s not…

I gotta say

these types of posts only happen on StR. We already have 4 contributors to the site, which I assume is more than most other single team sports blogs. And now, Aykis is gunnin’ for that number 5 spot and Pookey had to create his own blog just so Ziller doesn’t have to pay for more server space here. Plus, the number of quality fanposts from other users is going up also. And don’t even get me started on how awesome and funny some of the commentators are (especially me). I don’t think this exists within many other online communities.

When the talks of moving come up I hope the Maloofs take this into consideration. They won’t get this type of fan support anywhere else in the country. Do they think Anaheim will bring the shit we bring in Sacto? Hell no! L.A. area fans hardly care about the basketball teams they have now, and they want to add a third one?

Back to my original point: Kudos Aykis for an awesome post idea. Anaheim ain’t got shit on you!

It's true, Ziller told me

He said every time he saw a new fanpost by you he just yelled “Fuck!” because it was gonna cost him an extra 20 bucks a month

Okay, I made all that up. But thanks for keeping the word count to your uber-witty retort to a minimum. The internet thanks you.

I actually think #2 could be made into a real episode

3 and 4 we already know what the problem was

And I am afraid to know more about that hummus…

Great idea

I’m seriously very jealous that I didn’t think of this. Absolutely fantastic.

I voted for the Hummus of Horror, but I’m excited for any of these stories, as well as some of the reader suggestions from the comments.

It's ok G.

I was actually planning on asking you via e-mail to be my editor. I send you the thing, you send your corrections, thoughts, additions, I look it over, agree/disagree, etc. and then publish it. What say you?

Perfect

Send over your creativity, I’ll destroy its coherence, and then I’ll publish it as my own, muwuhuhahahahaha.

Er, I mean, I’d be happy to edit it!

Spoiler alert

Omri was convinced by a tiny door-to-door salesman with a powerpoint presentation to try the very first batch of “Musselman’s Own” homemade hummus.

By the time he realized the curious aftertaste that he couldn’t quite put his finger on was sour mash whiskey, the room started to spin…

That actually would have been a pretty good ending.

Too bad you ruined it. But consider yourself on an e-mail alert for early drafts so you can give feedback.

Sweet

But just a heads-up, you can expect that most of my suggestions will involve whiskey in one way or another. Especially in answering plot questions. No matter the question, whiskey is always the answer.
