For his overall size [ll] DENNIS RODMAN was one of the best players in the league. His singular defensive focus and uncanny knack for securing rebounds should have him voted into the Hall Of Fame. The thing that hurts RODMAN’s chances are all those times that he fuxed with his hair. RON ARTEST is slowly becoming the new millennial DENNIS RODMAN except ARTEST still doesn’t have a championship. DENNIS has a handful. As soon as RON RON gets his ring he will enter the circle of NBA Wig Owners.
But for now he has shown promise, like the TRU WARIER design he wore while in Indiana. ARTEST shows us that despite poor spelling we knew exactly what he was trying to say. Who’s the fool?

Just in case he forgot what shitty shitburg the Pacers shipped him off to RonRon had his squad’s named laced into his scalp. But without Bibby in the backcourt any longer the Kings were more like the serfs.
Houston was the next stop for the RON ARTEST hair show. The Rockets were buzzing with the notion of TRACY McGRADY, YAO MING, SHANE BATTIER and RON ARTEST all on the floor at the same time. Unfortunately that moment only occurred for 10 minutes in a pre-season game.
Artest: I can get you a haircut for halfprice?
Kobe: Nah man, I’m good.
Hi, my name is Ron
To shore up their defense (read: to give fits to CARMELO ANTHONY) the Lakers acquired ARTEST from the Rockets. Lakers coach PHIL JACKSON had dealt with the eccentric DENNIS RODMAN previously so most people assumed he could figure out the enigmatic RON ARTEST.
After finishing the first half of the season looking like the bee’s knees (except for their Cleveland matchups) the Lakers have come back down to Earth. To hopefully spark(yes LISA LESLIE) his teammates ARTEST added a new wrinkle to his wigscape - hairdye. This was a wigbrushing technique that was mastered by RODMAN since his days in Detroit.
The Lakers’ skid hasn’t ended yet, but the road to Wig Ownership for RON ARTEST has only just begun. He’s a got a lot of ‘chips to win and boards to grab if he wants to equal the NBA’s Wig Brushing/Owning G.O.A.T., but I won’t count RON ARTEST out.
Come to think of it, just wait until ARTEST plays for the Clippers?
I registered for eBay 10 years ago and in that time I have bought and sold a good amount of I-T’s. I don’t visit eBay too often nowadays but it still has some great auctions for vintage stuff from clothing to sneakers to toys to everything. For a time I think eBay was going to evolutionize the way we ultimately consumed goods. At the end of the day, eBay doesn’t totally supplant the brick and mortar installations, but it does supplement them.
I was cruising the eBay system over the weekend to get myself hype for the upcoming ‘Lo-End Theory event and I wanted to see what vintage ‘Lo pieces were being offered. As always there are some good quality collector pieces on the system. I’m impressed with the way that many collectors have preserved I-T’s that are more than twenty years old. This speaks to the quality of the garments and the consideration of the connoisseur.
I came across one of the vintage sweaters from my all time favorite series of PRL design. These particular items are from 1986 and this was when I first took heed to the Polo brand. I was 15 years old and you could say that this was my first kiss. Strangely, it just may have been. This series featured primary colors that were bold and colorblocked all over the items. The clothing reminded me of my favorite candies, LifeSavers. I had to have this at any cost.
What I couldn’t afford I had to steal and what I couldn’t steal I had to just covet. The obsession still continues to this day altho’ now there is a lot less stealing. I still get excited when I walk into Lord & Taylor and Bloomies. I still check the exits and imagine myself running thru the store full tilt with shirts stuffed in my jacket. To replace the anxious energy of stealing clothing I place bids on eBay. I don’t just place regular bids on eBay tho’. I use a service called AuctionSniper.com. I got put on to AuctionSniper from the homey GabeRockka over at FlawlessHustle.
Gabe was actually a dude that bought shit from me on eBay way back in the day and he connected the dots once the DP website was up and running. AuctionSniper.com is my shit now and I don’t fux with eBay without it. I used to have to be all crazy and scramble to find a computer when my auctions were winding down. Now I just plug in the highest amount that I am willing to pay for an item and AuctionSniper.com submits my bid for me 5 seconds before the close of the auction. Niiiiiiice.
For example, lets say the sweater above is currently being bid on for $10, but I know that there are other bidders in the cut spying on the I-T as well. I’ll tell AuctionSniper to place a bid for me of $50. If no other bidders step into the arena on time I will end up winning that sweater for $11. Just because I placed a bid of $50 doesn’t mean that the price automatically goes to that amount. The way eBay works is that bids are incremental and if you are the highest bidder on a $10 I-T your winning bid is just the amount to put you in the lead.
I’m not going to act like I win every auction when I use AuctionSniper.com, but the truth is that I win one way or another. If the item bids at a higher amount than I set AuctionSniper to bid for me I don’t lose anything. That just keeps me free to scope out another I-T. If I do win then AuctionSniper only charges me $.01% of the final auction price. If the item costs $20 then AuctionSniper charges me $.20cent. If you fux with eBay and you don’t have AuctionSniper you should snipe yourself right now.

The mid-height field boot might be Timberland’s most iconic shoe. The profile of this boot belongs to Timberland, and Timberland ONLY. I’m not saying that other bootmakers haven’t copied the field boot, but to this day only Timberland makes the reliable and trusted boot that I would purchase. Luckily for me and my Timberland addiction the A.J. Wright stores carry these shoes with first run quality at factory second prices.
You should have seen Chocolate Snowflake’s face when I picked up these boots. “Not another pair of boots?!” is what she said. But I had to explain to her that $49.99 for the ‘Beef and Broccoli’ was like I was stealing them. The B&B mid field bot is a shoe. This is one of the boots that can ably crossover to whatever you need to do for you. You can even use these as an athletic shoe to a degree. I used to ride my mountain bike wearing these.
Timberland’s premium waterproof upper isn’t the big draw for me on this model. I actually like the padded leather ankle collar and the D-ring quick tie lacing system. The mid field boot isn’t for navigating the extreme snowdrifts that the full height field boot can get through but these boots keep you faster on your feet than the high tops. The mid heigh boots are built for speed.
