Hey, fellas...just a heads up: The Heat is running a facebook promotion today where "Burnie" the mascot is showing up at various locations in Dade and Broward giving away free tickets. The clues for his location are super easy to figure out. Check it out if you get the chance.

(just a note since it's over now...they're apparently going to do this on a semi-regular basis. I'll try to keep folks posted if I see it)

Never thought I would hear Facebook updates from YOU! You were dead set on joining the 21st century just a few months ago. This post really made me laugh out loud....! Take care, mi amigo. I am sure Johnny Brenda's is hoppin' with lots of Halloween fun, as I write....ciao!

I caved in to the power of the face. Gotta admit it's pretty fun, although I really don't need to know when my friends children took a crap or what someone ate for lunch.

Halloween was a good time at work. I went as a disgruntled ex-Soviet Naval officer (hey, I'm an esoteric kind of guy) but the best was our resident Scottish bartender, Morgan, who did a "Groundskeeper Willie" that was breathtaking in its offensiveness.

OOPS! I just recently posted a pic of what my cook made me for lunch!! See...to some of us...that's is the only important thing there is in life. Too many others are focused on elections, Lebron and war...me...chicken dishes!

Sounds like Johnny Brenda's was the place to be for Halloween! Apologies to the moderator for getting off topic ( but I did at least work Lebron's name into this post).

But the most important thing is...why is an ex-Soviet Navel officer disgruntled?

spellbound · November 2nd, 2010, 04:13 PM

Costa Rican lunches are interesting. I'm talking about the "I just had peanut butter on toast" type.

As for the Naval Officer, I have an old Russian Navy Officers cap I picked up in Prague years ago (that kind of stuff was all over the old Eastern bloc). When I put it on, it just makes me look surly, somehow---so I decided to go with it and yell at people in gibberish Russian (possibly mixing words like 'pizza' and 'chihuahua' into it). A strange night was had by all.

Go Heat!!

The apologies really should go to the forum, and there are those who feel this thread should not even be here, but the one you created along those lines was actually more related to development as the press proved regardless of whether other some forumers believe these types of threads should not even be here. In my opinion, the buzz contributes to the vibrancy of the city, which is part of what makes it an interesting place to live and an exciting place to visit, so these types of threads do have their place because I think most people do not want to visit or to move to some place that is boring.

Thank you!

OK, Heat...you can stop kidding around now.

(please)

FLAWDA-FELLA · November 12th, 2010, 04:11 PM

I don't think anyone imagined that "The Heat" would start off the season with a 5-4 record. Its just taking a little longer for the team's chemistry to really begin to kick in, so I wouldn't press the "panic button" just yet!!

zzibit · November 13th, 2010, 03:19 AM

little reality check last night ....again!

Heat have a good time, give them time to gel

You're a good sport, and yes---definitely---they should be much better in January than they are now. I'm sure they will (if not, omg.)

That said, kudos to the Celtics.

Christ, what is it now? 14 out of the last 15 Boston has won versus Miami? And they've certainly made a pretty emphatic statement so far this season that any Eastern Conference titles are going to have to be earned, not given.

The Boston Celtics are on a level I only hope the Heat can attain someday. 17 NBA titles speaks for itself, and they're obviously gunning for number 18.

There might be some fun playoff games next Spring...

zzibit · November 13th, 2010, 07:54 PM

if you don't earn it, there is something very wrong with the NBA

the Heat have a target on them so they better step up

1772 · November 15th, 2010, 10:28 PM

I'm not doubting that the Heat will go to the finals, but could we PLEASE win the Celtics games? I hate the "told ya soo"-attitude of some of the ginger boys up north...

Please define a ginger boy.

Also, it is not only people up north, but people all over the country. I Heat, thus far, have not shown they can keep up physically with the better teams in the league. Hence their losing record to teams with a winning record.

That was real stupid. Not the people being interviewed but the reporter.
