20) Assume you're still single (if your currently not), celeb wise who would you date? Kate Upton

Good choice! Btw, she's got a pretty fine cat daddy...

[ReubenJRD]

You say that like your surprised or its a bad thing. We old guys need a place to talk ball too you know.

Quite frankly and no offence to the young-ins here, but I like chattin' basketball while wearing my Depends and enjoying a nice bowl of prunes. Certainly keep me regular and spry.

No no! I love talking with the older guys, especially the ones who bring a lot like yourself, the moderators and so on!

I just never realized that this forum had a lot of older guys, I was expecting a bit more young-in's in here!

We seem to have a few common places (at least in Canada) where RR members are residing. Perhaps we should have a get together for a game or two (or possibly a playoff game) to show our camaraderie hahaha... I know my gf hates it when I watch the Raptors because if they're losing I'm in no mood to joke around. Sometimes I take the games a little too hard. Hahaha... I know, I should mellow down.
