These Are The Kind of Articles Anthony King Gets

In between UCBT Tour Co. gigs this weekend, I - Anthony King - played basketball against the University of North Carolina. It was a tough game.

From goheels.com:

He's Not Human

Feb. 13, 2006

By Adam Lucas

CORAL GABLES--Like most important things in life, this moment harkened back to the Rocky series.
You know the moment. It's Rocky IV, and Ivan Drago has been whaling on Rocky for several rounds. But for some reason, Rocky won't go down. So Drago goes back to his corner and his trainer is perplexed.
"What's wrong?" the trainer keeps asking the powerful Russian.
Drago gets a look in his eye like he's already seen what's going to happen in this fight, like he can already see Rocky celebrating in the middle of the ring and a long unpaid exile to Siberia in his future.
This is what Drago says: "He's not human. He's like a piece of iron." Sunday night, Anthony King was Drago. Tyler Hansbrough, for what won't be the last time in his career, was Rocky.
The two 6-foot-9 bruisers had just clashed under the Miami basket. They'd both come down with a hand on a rebound. These are the kind of rebounds Anthony King gets. But there was Hansbrough. First, just an arm. Then a hand on the ball. Then two hands on the ball. King pulled, Hansbrough pushed. There was a moment when you really thought the basketball might deflate from the pressure.
In order to keep the two players from taking a hunk out of the innocent ball, an official stepped in and called a jump ball. The players separated, and King took a couple steps toward his bench. He turned and looked at the Tar Heel freshman, a look unlike any you normally see on a basketball court.
It wasn't an angry look. Wasn't a look intended to start something.
Here's exactly what it was: it was a Drago look. You could see the words forming in King's mind:
"He's not human."

The article goes on from there, and honestly Tyler Hansbrough kicked my ass on Saturday and I am ashamed.

Luckily later that night I did some improv at Skidmore College and it went pretty well. Left me thinking - Tyler Hansbrough may be better than me at basketball, but it doesn't matter, cause I can play game.

"Hey Tyler Hansbrough, what was the unusual thing in that scene? Oh, you don't know? Well no wonder you didn't HEIGHTEN IT! Chump. GO HURRICANES!"

Get Tight

Meet TJ Hoban:

He's one of the models/spokespeople for a fat burner/nutritional supplement called TIGHT (a product I just saw advertised in a very retarded commercial).

TIGHT is a revolutionary product that promises to get your body in shape and help you "Get Noticed Today!" Though in the FAQ on its website, there is definitely one dispiriting question and answer:

Q. Does the product get your muscles tight?
A. No, it does not.

Well, that's a disappointment. But the most disturbing questions are written by customers on the website's message board - yes, the website has a message board.

all3njg:
Would this be ok to take with Muscle Milk?

Muscle Milk? What the hell is Muscle Milk?

Oh - It's Nature's Ultimate Growth Formula!

Julie:
I recently got some Tight and some ephedrine. I read the labels, and it explicitly says not to stack Tight with ephedrine. Anyone know why? Or even better, has anyone taken this stack (one pill of each in the mornings) and experienced any severe negative side effects?

She continues: "I really, really want to take Tight and ephedrine at the same time, like really bad. It would be so awesome. So so awesome. Please?"

"Angela" is more cautious in her post titled "Exceeding Tight Dosage Recommendation":

Angela:
Hi all,
Is it okay to take 2-3 caps instead of 1 cap per day? Don't want to have a heart attack and all.

Yeah, Heart Attack = Not TIGHT

But my favorite thread on the message board is one titled "side effects?"

Guest:
any negative side effects? anyone?? how much weight can u approx. lose per week??
all3njg:
it made me really really hyper.... couldnt sit still... just wanted to talk talk and talk... it was crazy hahaa

Lena:
Was it a good or bad feeling?

Poor, poor Lena, she has a hard time in social situations - especially social situations with people who are batshit crazy and hopped up on Muscle Milk.

I guess that's why not everybody can be TJ Hoban.
