Raptors Republic Roll Call - "Get to Know You Edition"

[KJ-B]

How can someone hate Dirk??? He is one of the nicest superstars around.

It's "basketball" hate a la my hate for Paul Pierce...just a very frustrating player to match up against. 7-footer licking treys like ft's and that uber-frustrating elbow jumper--dude would give me nightmares if I were a pro...I call him 'jerk' bc in his younger days he'd jerk up shots, in that there was never a jumper he didn't like...which was equally frustrating but in a negative way for his teammates

Sorry brother. We had some really bad issues with spam bots here so I had to change to do a manual registration approval on he site. My apologies for the inconvienence. It was an oversight on my behalf.

yea i wasnt impressed this was my last effort before i gave up on the site but its all good now so i guess i'll come back and read on the regular

[NoPropsneeded]

ya its pretty ugly

[LBF]

Christina Milian is the f'ing business! I love that girl. This chick Cassie is damn sexy as hell too! Love her partially shaved head haircut, so hot...

That hair cut is steaight FUGLY!

I find most black chick hair do's fugly though. It's like they figure they're special and it'll look good on them. It don't.

Oh, the asian dudes as well. Man, if an asian dude and black chick both in their 20's were dating and we're famous. Worst hair day ever caught on camera!

[Doc]

so I made an account with this stupid site 6 months ago only to have it never allow me to post on the forums, I make this new 1 yesterday and I can already post. WTF RR

Dude what kind of freaky 18 year old are you?! Pina colada? Tina Fey???? I'm guessing the pot has something to do with it. LMAO.

the pina colada i get.... thanks to a semi-alcoholic father, and the constant stink of beer at home growing up.... i never actually touched a beer until i was about 25... preferring the more tasty drinks to go with the "smokeables" and "ingestables"

as i got older however.... i've totally embraced the family legacy...

1) Age: 18
13) What is your guilty pleasure? I enjoy smoking Pot, which society sometimes makes me feel guilty about.
18) Beverage preference: Pina Colada20) Assume your still single (if your currently not), celeb wise who would you date? Tina Fey

I don't know why but of all the answers on this thread this made me go huh? the most.

10) Favorite Raptors moment: Kobe's 81 points on us

Curious, are you even a Raptors fan????

20) Assume your still single (if your currently not), celeb wise who would you date? Beyonce. I would like it, and put a ring on it.

She'd be on my list as well except that Jay Z ruined her for me.

19) If your life was turned into a movie, what actor would play you? Keanu Reeves or Omar Epps
20) Assume your still single (if your currently not), celeb wise who would you date? Candace Parker or Jessica Beal. Why not both ?

Keanu Reeves or Omar Epps? Wait. What?

You've got Anthony Parker as your avatar...you wanna date his sister Candace. Hmmm, that's just a little disturbing. Got a bit of a man crush do we?

17) Favourite album: "Dookie" by Green Day

Great album. I haven't listened to it in ages. But that was probably the first album/band I really got into.

10) Favorite Raptors moment: VC's missed final shot of the 01 East Semis. Thought to be a preview of things to come...

Sigh. Another questionable Raps fan. Missing the shot that would have put us in the EC finals is your favourite Raptors moment?

11) Outside of basketball, who is your favorite athlete, past or present? Jim Kelly, Roberto Alomar, Pavel Bure

I see we've got a number of Robbie fans here @ RR. Excellent.

Catch the taste.

20) Assume you're still single (if you're currently not), celeb wise who would you date? Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

I second that. She is smoking to the power of 10.

7) Favorite Non Raptors Players: Steve Nash, Barbosa (nicest, classiest player out there)
17) Favourite album: Enter the Wu-Tang and The Chronic/2001

Didn't Barbosa allegedly sleep with Nash's wife?

Two great albums. I used to rinse those like a mutha.

5) Favorite All time Raptor: Rod Strickland
13) What is your guilty pleasure? Spankwire
20) Assume your still single (if your currently not), celeb wise who would you date? Tina Fey

Answer #5 is interesting. May I ask why?

Sadly I am all too familiar with Spankwire.

Another Tina Fey admirer? Really? You sick bastards.

My top 5 Raptors moments for sure, but I only heard this on the FAN 590 Radio, also while Chuck Swirsky commentated that dunk like if GOD dropped into our world and did a missionary in the middle of the court with a fully resurrected Marylin Monroe.

No wait I think your the sick one. Damn.

20) Assume you're still single (if your currently not), celeb wise who would you date? Either Carly Rae Jespen, Amy Lee or Drew Barrymore

Nah you don't want any part of that Mango. Have you seen her sex tape? Her head game is terrible with a capital T. So sad.

Question 20 was probably not meant for this much analysis, but here's my thought process on it. It says who would I "date", versus the usual "who would you f___" (the other fun activity I'd want to do with a really hot celebrity). Btw, I'm happily married.

- I can't pick someone who is too too hot, because chances are she's been with some hot guys and that just means that no matter how much I can make her laugh, 15 minutes into the date she'll receive that "emergency phone call from a friend" and she'll be gone.
- Some women that people listed are really tall -- for example, the beautiful Kate Upton is 5'10" so I'd look pretty stupid walking around with a girl who is 3 inches taller than me. If she wore heels, then I'm really going to look foolish.
- Some of the women might have kids already. That's a concern for me -- if some paparazzi snaps a photo of us and her kid sees it, that's going to be a very confusing and difficult time for them.
- Some women may have very high standards, the rich ones especially. Suddenly dinner and movie isn't going to cut it. And I'm a cheap guy.
- Some women have weird habits, like Kate Beckinsale smokes, and I'd be concerned about the whole second-hand smoke. And apparently she doesn't drink so the likelihood of getting her back to my place after the date with no alcohol involved is quite low.
- Then you've got some women who are just manlier than me. Like a Jessica Biel or Ann Hathaway or Kristin Kreuk.. these girls have kicked some serious ass and done some crazy stunts. I dunno, what happens if we get mugged on the way to the restaurant and she beats up the mugger? I'll never live it down. I don't think my male ego could handle that.

I ended up narrowing my choices down to Scarlett Johansson (5'4", sex goddess) and Kristen Bell (5'1", lover over sloths), and then I said to myself "OK. Between these two, realistically speaking, which one do I actually have a chance with? Kristen Bell is with Dax Sheppard, who is just a real goofball like me, whereas Scarlett has been with Ryan Reynolds, who is massive and also still funny. I'm thinking I can't beat Ryan but Dax, I mean the guy isn't even good looking.

So I picked Kristen Bell.

LMAO.

I wanted to change a couple of my answers...

9) Which NBA player to you hate the most? Changed from whiny Wade to Dwight Howard (also included: every blogger/reporter I follow on Twitter who posts a "new" story/post/article/update on his situation...can we just kick him out of the league? It's getting worse than Brett Favre)

19) If your life was turned into a movie, what actor would play you? Changed from Canadian goofball John Candy to American badass Clint Eastwood. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly might have been on TV last night.

Ay! There's no changing answers!

Unfortunately LBF is correct Mess. Once you post your answers, this constitutes a binding contract which cannot be undone. If you try to edit your post in any way, shape or form, I will be forced to re-edit it to it's original content. Rules is rules.

17) Favourite album: "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill"
20) Assume your still single (if your currently not), celeb wise who would you date? Christina Milian

Superb answer. TMOLH is one of my all time favs. A classic.

Christina Milian. Another superb answer.

4) What are your ethnic roots? Hispanic
11) Outside of basketball, who is your favorite athlete, past or present? Ricky Romero

Nice to see another latino on RR. There doesn't seem to be too many of us here.

Ricky is stinking it up big time. Our "Ace" is a joke.


I am surprised by how many of you guys answered Jose as your all time fav Rap or current fav Rap. Interesting. With the constant bashing and trade demands for him, I wasn't expecting this.

Doc great idea to bring back the Roll Call!
