Flea's thoughts on Laker fans booing Kwame Brown

Below are thoughts from RHCP bassist Flea about the Laker fans mercilessly booing Kwame Brown in their loss to the Suns last thursday night.

"i am embarrassed today to be counted among the number who derisively boo our current starting center kwame brown

though i was not at the game, and though i would never boo a laker player, i am shamed

i have been following the lakers since i was a young boy, and have always loved the artistry and image of the lakers

i remember when the lakers used to face off against the celtics during the '80s and though certainly i looked at everything through purple and gold glasses,

when they showed the still photos of the players before the game started, i saw the row of celtics stone tough guy faces

then they would show the smiling faces of the lakers, coop, and big game james, and the rest, mostly exemplified by the wall to wall grin of magic, hahaha! go lakers!

the lakers were poetic and beautiful, from the perfect zen like grace of the kareem sky hook, to the jawdropping behind the head no-look pass, to the byron scott stop and pop, to the long and soft 3 pointer lofted home by michael cooper

other cities boo their players, they boo their own players in new york........if you wanna boo our guys go to new york and be a knick fan

people in other cities hate the lakers mostly because they have won so much, but also they have a misguided and deluded opinion of laker fans as soft, passive, and without fire

that is not so, us laker fans love the lakers with our hearts, and we know how it brings our whole city together

this illusion of other teams, specifically eastern conference teams, being more hard nosed and blue collar......I say poppycock! it takes the hardest day to day work and courage to put on a fun show!

constructive not destructive!

we just don't act like stupid morons, and we care too much about supporting our team to go into negative dopiness

we revel in the joy of multiple championships, not dwell in the lower depths of booing

i know that kwame brown is not the best big man the lakers have ever had

but putting him down rudely, is not only stupid and cruel, but it tears at the team's fabric and IT MAKES IT LESS LIKELY THAT WE WILL GET WHAT WE WANT WHICH IS WINS!!!!!

anyone who is a real laker fan and actually follows the team and is not a bandwagon jumping johnny-come-lately

knows that kwame is a sensitive man who can get down on himself when he makes a mistake and potentially spiral into much less quality play than he is capable of

he can be hard enough on himself without supposed laker fans insulting him

the more we support him the better he will do, the better the team will do, and maybe the lakers will get through this rough patch without our wunderkind a little bit better

kwame can do it kwame can do it kwame can do it kwame can do it

he, at his best, can hold down the fort, and play solid d on the opposing big men that come our way...................we gotta support him

i personally like the guy

we gotta at least try"

My Favorite/Least Favorite Counter-Strike Source Things

Team Stacking: This is when a round is in its formative stages and either the clan members that are connected to that server all join one team immediately or over the next few rounds, or, more simply, when regular players on that server who are familiar with other players skill levels all join one team opposite the bad players because they hate nubs.

This is frustrating because:

• It does not encourage newer players to stay in the server.
• It sucks when you aren't fast enough to get on the stacked team.

Thats about it.

This is awesome because:

• It does not encourage newer players to stay in the server.
• It discriminates against noobs.
• You win most of the time.
• You get to use your custom spray on noobs corpses at a 87.5% clip.
• You get to laugh over team chat at all the 'gay-noobs'.
• It boosts your ego and e-peen to disproportionate levels.
• You think you are good, when you are really sub-par.

Camping: When a player, experienced or otherwise, waits in a generally difficult to see spot so that they may procure a cheap kill. Often time you see players who are scared of their likely death do this, although they usually choose the most obvious of places. They know their death is imminent and want to pad their k/d ratio before being offed. Veterans employ this strategy in many situations, mostly when guarding the bombsite/bomb, outnumbered, etc.


This is frustrating because:

• No matter how much we want to deny it, a novice will get you every once in a while.
• It makes me spill my Hawaiian Punch drink when I get startled and shot from the ledge on piranesi.
• The other team will ghost you and use the steam community feature/ventrilo to point you out to their friends, this is cheating.
• Server mods point out who is camping and with what weapon.
• I hate it.

This is awesome because:

• Surprise flashbangs.
• I pretend I made them spill their Hawaiian Punch drink all over the floor when I shoot them.
• Noobs are susceptible to this tactic of douchebaggery.
  
• People complain when the new round starts and you get to gloat and call them douchebags.
• Easy headshots on bomb diffusers/bomb planters.
• Knife kills.
• I love it.
  

Bunny Hopping: This is technique of using the jump key and strafe keys to 'hop' through the map at incredible speeds. Some servers don't allow this. We know these servers as servers that "suck".

This is frustrating because:

• Players have a great advantage over you because they can speedily hop to great hiding places much faster than you can running with your knife/secondary out.
• Yadda yadda cheap kills, yadda yadda unfair mmmmkayyyy.
• Noobs say the above phrase repeatedly when you do it.
• It's freaking hard.

This is awesome because:

• Yadda yadda cheap kills, yadda yadda unfair mmmmkayyyy.
• Noobs say the above phrase repeatedly when you do it.
• You actually hop like a bunny rabbit.
• Other people can't do it, making them "retarded".
• When the younglings ask you how to do this amazing technique, you can belittle them and call them gay or make mom jokes, because you are clearly the superior being.

Elite Speech: Otherwise know as l337 sp34k. Using numbers and symbols to compose a message to others about how haXXoor you are. Other forms of speaking include the adorable pidgen speak which is commonly used in rofl/lol animals pictures. Also used in players names and sprays. Is not a barometer for skill whatsoever.

This is frustrating because:

• Babies talk like this.
• Noobs talk like this.
• Just because you are able to substitute a number for letter doesn't make you part of the scene.
• No, you may not 'has' cheeseburger.
• I remember when I was on AOL 3.0 this was popular.
• Players name that include this act as if they weren't born yesterday, which they were, thus making them babies.
• Just because your name is "^*)>xxXlil-p1n0y<(*^-" does not make me afraid of you. I will come ask you for help with my calc homeworks though.
  

This is awesome because:

• Helps me easily pinpoint the beginners.
• I can't scientifically describe "the lulz" but I get them when I roflheadshot people with my d34g13.
• It makes me the extraordinary lord over those who use it.
• lil_p1noy is my personal whipping boy.
• The players with the simplest names are the ones to watch out for.
• If you are a novice, formatting your name in an elite speech way can help you gain a mental advantage over the lesser novices, so that you may employ your best mom/chuck norris material after defeating them.

I hope you enjoyed this list. You may or may not agree with some of the reasoning here, but I don't care honestly, because I did it for the lulz.
