Lebron James: "The Decision"

2010-07-12T14:20:00.005+10:00

Lebron has copped a lot of negativity over his decision lately, and while I can understand that Cavs fans weren't happy about the way that he did it (a 1hr special was a bit over the top) but cmon.. did anyone really think he was staying in Cleveland when they requested a special show for the announcement?
Of course he was switching teams - the only thing I wanted to know was whether he was going to the Bulls or the Heat!

I think maybe I am in the minority, but I am really excited about seeing this big 3 tear it up in Miami next season, Wade-Lebron-Bosh, and with Mike Miller and whatever other veterans they can piece together on limited cash, is going to be a really fun team to watch. I can't wait to see Lakers vs Heat and how they match up in the regular season, let alone if both teams make it to the finals.

Maybe Lebron went a little too far with the special announcement, but I think if anything has been extreme here, it's been Cleveland's reaction to it..
Burning Jerseys, tearing down billboards, of a guy that made your basketball team bearable for 7 seasons is just mental. And although Lebron may have screwed the team sideways by dragging out his decision until all the remaining big names were off the market, I think the biggest douche throughout the whole thing has been the Cavs owner Dan Gilbert.

He was willing to throw anyone and everyone under a bus in order to keep Lebron around. The team's coach, Mike Brown was blamed for the Cavs exit from the playoffs and was shown the door in an attempt to keep King James happy. News came out that the Cavs were looking to trade away Delonte West after the rumours came out that he was banging Lebron's mother. The Cavs management in my opinion got what they deserved when Bron left them hanging. They were happy to burn the coach and anyone else that got in the way of Lebron, they showed no loyalty to a lot of the people on their team and in the end they got a taste of their own medicine when Lebron decided to walk.

And it's funny how quickly their tune changed after that one hour special..
Check out Dan Gilbert's response following Lebron's decision to leave the team:

Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

Dan Gilbert
Majority Owner
Cleveland Cavaliers

OK.. you're guaranteeing a title before Miami gets one?

That could be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. How the hell is Mo Williams and Varejao and the rest of the scrubs going to get a ring before Lebron + Wade + Bosh + others? The only thing he really guaranteed right there, is that Lebron James is going to torch the Cavs for 40ppg next season! :P

So, he spat his dummy over King James leaving Cleveland and comes across like a spoilt baby that didn't get his own way.

The way this whole thing went down was entertaining as hell, and I can't wait to see:

-Cavs Vs Heat
-Heat Vs Lakers

in 2010/11 ^_^

Hello World!

It's been a while.. but I decided to dust this thing off and give it another try ^_^

^^ Thumbboy is back in all his photoshopping goodness ^^

Anyway so what's new since I left this blog undefended to get spammed senseless? =P
Well, I got a puppy with my wife who's now about 2.5 yrs old (the dog is 2.5yo not the wife.. don't be sick) bought an apartment, recovered from microfracture surgery on the knee and returned to the basketball court (probably will never dunk again but it's still great to be injury free for a couple years now).

What else.. nothing much really just loving life, loving sport and things are going really well!

So.. what can you expect from this blog?

hmmm.. Super fun times with Thumbboy thats what! :D

So if you're looking for some laughs check back often, and feel free to leave some comments.. just not too many 50" vertical leap programs or penis enlargment spams hahah

I'll end this with a pic I recently posted on the forums ;)

Thumbboy And Alien Sam Ep 1 on youtube

2006-08-26T19:08:00.000+10:00

WOOHOO!
I just made my first ever vid and have put it up on youtube! :P

this is the video here:

And here is the link to the video on youtube if you wanna give me a nice rating ;) ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epGpESUIoBs

Took a few days to edit it all but pretty happy with how it turned out :)

Next episode I've wrangled a few friends to act in it as the baddies, so it should lead to some epic battles, and I hope this isn't going to be too big of a spoiler, but Sam Cassell may just unlock his ability to fly! Filming will start in the park next week and hopefully it'll be up and completed within 2 weeks time :D

Hmmm what else is new? My good friend Lester at work is moving to Perth so the lab is never going to be the same again. We just did some AWESOME pranks on my boss Simon last week too LOL

What we did was made a note saying
"To the owner of this vehicle,
As I have opened my car door it swung open into yours causing damage to the door of my car. Since both of our cars were involved in the incident, it is only fair that we split the cost for repairs. To discuss payment please call me on (then I put my mobile number).
Thanks,
-Paul"

So when he went out to lunch, he found the note under his windscreen wiper and straight away called Lester to ask if he did it, of course he acted shocked like "What note??" oh man it was so funny..

When he came back to work he called my mobile from the office and I was like "Gday mate this is Paul Speaking" in a totally different voice. And then he goes, whats this note you left on my windscreen? and I'm like "oh so YOU'RE the owner of the silver car.." and went on to say how he owed me half the cost because his car was just as much at fault as mine, trying to be as obnoxious as I possibly could. I kept saying things like "Oh, cmon be fair mate.."
He started to get angry and said "No, look mate you've lost the plot, if I come up and kick your car I don't ask you to pay half if I damage my shoes"
At that point I think he heard me and Lester laughing and caught on to it being a prank :)))

We still acted like we didn't know what he was talking about but he came up and dialed my mobile while he was standing right next to us and heard the ringtone hahaha I was covering it in my pocket with my hand to block the noise but eventually it was too loud :o))

Anyway thats all form me, check out the new video if you like, I am planning to do some more soon too, I've got a whole bunch of episodes planned ;)

thank you friends..

I'm quitting pokies!

2006-08-02T23:34:00.000+10:00

I'm quitting pokies!
far out, today they gave me the shits to the maxxxxxxxxxxx
I was playing this dumbass machine and it wouldn't give me the feature AT ALL!
I kept feeding notes into the dirty bastard and it wouldn't come up.. I won $400+ the other day but this machine today really rubbed me the wrong way. I am quitting!!!!!!!!! :))))

I saw this other dude today too, he got 5 trains on the link in the middle line and came up with mostly 8's and 9's he only got the 'minor' jackpot!
I would have thought 5 trains you're a shoe-in to get amajor jackpot (which was up to $6K+) or at least the 2nd top prize which was around $600. If I was that guy I'd be spewing, seriously..

A few days earlier I saw someone playing the pyramids machine on $2 hits and on the feature he got 5 PYRAMIDS! paid out HARD!
He got $2400 for that alone, so I'm guessing he'd have gotten close to 3 grand on the spins all together.

Anyway, I'm done with all this crap. While I'm still in front after my big few wins I'm going to call it a day, no more pokies! :D

NBA Player Comparisons (Bird Vs Magic)

2006-07-30T22:06:00.000+10:00

This offseason I've been doing a lot of thinking about head to head comparisons of which players are better. Malone Vs Stockton, Hakeem Vs Barkley, Nique vs Drexler.

There's one I'm going to look at right now and that is Larry Bird Vs Magic Johnson.
These two guys helped define the NBA up until the point that Michael Jordan became The Man.

So which of the two was better??
Well, lets take a look at the stats!

Both players were awesome, here's what they did:

Magic:
19.5ppg, 11.2apg, 7.2rpg, 1.9stl, 52%fg

Bird:
24.3ppg, 6.3apg, 10.0rpg, 1.7stl, 49%fg

So overall pretty even there, with Bird having an edge in pts and rebs, and Magic having the edge in assists and slight edge in steals and fg%

Both guys won 3 NBA MVP awards. Magic has the edge with NBA titles (Magic won 5, Bird won 3).

It is very difficult to split these two players as they played different styles. One the playmaker, and one the hard nosed scorer/rebounder. Both guys were clutch shooters and were successful at what they did.

If I had to choose though, I would say Magic was slightly better, because of how flashy and unpredictable he was with the ball. He made the game exciting while winning many NBA titles!

People talk about how well rounded Chris Paul is as a rookie, well consider this, Magic Johnson in his rookie season averaged 18.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 9.4 assists throughout the playoffs as a rookie and went on to win the title and get the Finals MVP award.

Both players were special! But Magic gets my pick! :D

My pics are famous! :))))))

2006-07-14T21:32:00.000+10:00

I still can't believe it really.
Yesterday was a huge day for my beloved family portraits. They made it into Melbourne's MX newspaper with a huge double page spread of the pictures.
And then, later at night they were also shown on The AFL footy show with the host Sam Newman laughing at them too! :)
And if that wasn't enough, the pics made it into the Herald Sun newspaper today with a big full page of various AFL family portrait images :o)

If anyone's interested in seeing them here's some scans some of my mates in Melbourne did for me :)

The MX newspaper spread:

(they put the link to my blog site as well! wooooot) :)

So to celebrate I've made a bunch of new pics.. here's a couple of my favourite ones from the new lot:

A few of my forum buddies are into AFL and asked me to do some pics for them so I made a whole thread of AFL family portraits :)

Thank you all for being my FRIENDS! :D

The best foods to eat in Sydney!

2006-07-01T21:59:00.000+10:00

Ok, I am becoming a fat bastard but who cares. I've given up on my dreams to make it to the NBA so might as well enjoy myself! :D

If anyone reading this is either from Sydney or going to visit Sydney some day, take notes of these places because they are all worth trying!

Here it is, the Top 10 Thumbboy eateries! :))))

1. Sussex Centre Foodcourt at Chinatown

Nothing beats Sussex Centre for quality and price. Happy Chef chicken laksa is too cool for school, and opposite that is a place that does the meanest Chicken Katsu Curry of ALL TIME! Both dishes can be had for about $7 or $8 each!!!
This place is my favourite place to eat of all!
A nice combo to get is the chicken katsu curry and this other place sells these crumbed potato balls with either curry or cheese filling. Buy a couple of those and let them soak in the curry sauce and it is super nice! :D

2. I'm Angus

This is the first runner up for good reason. I'm Angus has great atmosphere right on Darling Harbour, the food is awesome. If you go there you have to order the Giant BBQ Pork Ribs! they cost around $23 but they are well worth it, the thing is so huge it often overhangs the plate. Super MEATY and comes with heaps of big potato wedges!

3. New Harmony Chinese Restaurant @ Greenacre

Great little place with super nice fooooooood!
They have this salt and pepper calamari/prawns that is lightly fried and has a superb taste to it, just a little crispy and has a hint of garlic and pepper to it. They also do a great sang choy bow there too, which is a nice meat/veg filling wrapped in a lettuce leaf, definitely worth trying as well! Price is ok, not too expensive but could add up if you are getting a big banquet for lots of people.

4. Sushi Train @ George Street Cinema Complex

The food is great there, I'm not into the raw fish ones but they do a really nice teriyaki chicken sushi there. $2.50 per plate which sounds cheap but be careful because it adds up pretty quickly! :)
good to sneak in to the cinemas but the plastic container is really crinkly and makes a lot of noise so eat them during the commercials :)))

5. Beyti Kebab @ Smart Street Fairfield, opposite Neeta City

Beyti Kebab is really good. Probably my favourite place to get kebabs from!
They do the normal shaved meat kebabs but they also do the chicken shish roll with is excellent, try that if you go there. You may have to wait 5-10 mins while they cook it but it's worth it! :D

6. 'The Best Merrylands Thai Restaurant' @ Miller St. Merrylands

Really good little out of the way place that has pretty good service and food to match. The mas man nua is my favourite thing on their menu, which is this really tender beef in a mild curry sauce, when you eat it with the rice it tastes great. They also have a really rad thai green curry, which is nice and a little spicy too :D

7. Lidcombe RSL Club - They have Great STEAKS!!!!!

Okay, this place is the best kept secret of all! The steaks at this place are SOOOOOOO NICE! always really tender and with great flavour. When you have it with the gravy and chips it nearly makes your eyes water with happiness that fills you with joy!
And it is so cheap too! only like less than 10 bucks and you're very full by the end. They have a really nice fried icecream too. I haven't tried much on their menu because I can't bring myself to order anything but their amazing steaks! MUST GO AND TRY IT!!!!!!!!

8. Sahara Turkish Restaurant @ Burwood (near Westfields shopping mall)

The food here is GREAT, especially the chicken empire or iskendar or something like that. We stopped going there a long while back because the service sucks and they usually make you wait forever before the food comes out. If you don't mind the long wait then this place is worth trying, the food is super cool.

9. Korean BBQ Restaurant @ George St in the City

Now, I don't know the exact name of this place but if it is on the 2nd level of this building near the Delifrance on George Street. The food is really nice, I started going there about 6 mths back and have been again many times already. The bbq beef and the chicken bulgogi are both cool, I really like the little mini bowls of stuff they bring out, like kimchi and stuff those are really cool :)
Prices are surprisingly cheap too! I always expect it to cost about $60+ but the Bill usually only shows around $38 or $40 for the two of us (me and my wife), so good food + great price and good service, go try it! :)

10. Star City - All you can eat Buffet

Nice wide selection of hot and cold foods. Always looks really clean and well laid out full of foods. There probably isn't one thing on there that is a must-try, but as far as all-you-can-eat places go this one would have to be amongst the better ones I've been to. The desserts are really really good. One long big row of them it's good to go with someone else and go halves on them all :D
Mounties all you can eat (at a different Club) used to be a really good all you can eat as well but haven't been there for ages, so Star City wins and rounds out my top ten! :)

Anyway thats my list, if you've got any foods in Sydney that you think are worth trying please leave a reply of the place so I can go check it out and maybe even add it to my top 10 list :))))))))))

Do you believe in ghosts?

2006-06-05T23:02:00.000+10:00

I consider myself a very rational person, but still I get scared at the thought of ghosts from time to time. It's a bit embarrassing really.. I mean, I've studied evolution and consider myself someone that sees things for what they are and try not to get carried away with any kind of mumbo jumbo. But when it's 2am and I'm about to take a shower, walking through the hallway of my house with all the lights turned off can get a little bit CREEPY!

Fricken hell.. it's too many damn ghost movies I think.
My dad would let me watch vampires and ghost movies, werewolf movies from a very young age. I think it may have warped my brain a little.

*Paragraph Three Deleted due to popular demand* ;)

Anyway, the only dreams that I have anymore are of me fighting against vampires and demons and crap like that. One time I was in a cave and fighting off vampires. Another time I was in a cruise ship and all the other people on the boat were vampires. This recent dream I had 2 nights ago wasn't a vampire dream though. I dreamt that I was hiking up a mountain with 2 other people, and then suddenly one of them collapsed onto the ground and there was an imprint of hands squeezing in on the person's neck and they couldn't breathe!

I was like f*ck, and tried to help them, but then the other person went down on the ground with the same thing happening to them. As I turned to help that one I felt myself being strangled and wrestled to the ground with nobody to be seen. Then suddenly the strangling hands ceased and the three of us got up a little bit dazed and the three of us took out a long blade from our backpacks and plunged them into our stomachs (yeah, nice dreams now thanks dad!) lol
Anyway, it turned out that I came out of this weird posessed state but the other two continued until they'd completely killed themselves.
-Skip forward 20 years and I'm now like 40-ish but still kind of young looking right (did I mention my dreams have very cinematic sequences) and anyway, the two people that killed themselves were actually posessed by demons and came back as these two evil dudes. It was supposed to be three evil ones to achieve some crap to awaken the end of the world, but because I lived it didn't work.. :P

Anyway, The other two had become these high-power execs that ran some big firm, and I'd managed to sneak in under cover to try and finish them off before they started doing bad shit. So as I was typing away at my desk in the office in the dream, I got spotted and recognised by them, and they sent their henchmen to grab me, but as they lunged for me, I leant back over this balcony and backflipped down like 50 metres and landed on my feet with cat-like reflexes (somehow I had gained super human powers..)

Well, thats where my alarm went off for work so I don't know how it was supposed to end. I guess if the dream went on I'd have killed everyone and then gangbanged with some e3 models or something like that.

Anyhow, back to the ghosts thing have you ever seen something happen that just made you throw logic out the window and go "f*ck that shit, I'm getting outta here!"
Cos one time that happened to me.
I was washing my neighbour across the street's car for $10. His name's Carlo.
Anyway, the house that he had was bought about 15 years ago, and the previous owner from what I can gather was a single mother that killed herself and the child or something, I'm not sure exactly what happened but I heard there was a death involved somewhere there. Anyway, I was washing the car, and it was a really cloudy day, black skies and thunder. And just as I was finishing up, Carlo's dog stopped frozen and staring at me, then it turned its head to look about a metre or two to my left and started growling. Then it started barking super loud with it's eyes fixed on that one spot. I looked and there was nothing in that plane of view that should have freaked out the dog like that.

Man, I just ran quicker than Forest Gump that day hahahah :D

So, just wondering if anyone else has any kinda stories bout this kind of stuff that they'd like to share. If you do, feel free to hit respond and share your frightening tales! :D

World Cup Tipping Comp!

2006-06-03T23:16:00.000+10:00

Hey guys check this out, the forum where I talk shit about basketball and post my photoshopped nba pics is holding a soccer tipping competition with $2500US prizemoney.

I'm going to have a crack at it, I'd love to win the $1000 first prize and put that money towards a PS3 *drool*
If anyone reads this and enters the comp and wins the big bucks please send me a box of chocolates or somethin.. :P

Here's the link to the comp if you want to have a go:

http://www.121s.com/viewtopic.php?t=8315

Brazil is the only team I know the names of the players really.. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho etc.
I asked a friend of mine who's going to win and he said Brazil so I guess I'll go with that too hehehe

The Aussie team finally made it in, so the world cup is going to be huge over here. The media will probably give it a lot of coverage for the next few weeks.

Honestly, I think the Aussies don't have much chance of winning it. I heard someone put a $20,000 bet online for Australia to win it. Might as well throw that money in the bin :P

If it wins they get something crazy back like half a million or something but it'll never happen unless all the other teams have a plane crash and then their b-teams have a plane crash as well..

Harry Kewell looks like a prick to me when I see him on tv. Don't know if he really is or not, maybe some soccer fans out there would know. he just looks like a douche to me *shrug*

Anyway.. Go Australia! :D

Loved it!

The special effects are off da hook, and the story aint bad either.

Shame the dude with the wings does jack shit all movie besides fly around like a lame c*nt.

oh yeah, it's nearly the NBA Finals!
how sick have the playoffs been so far? :D

I'm going for Dallas to take it all, but if Phoenix ends up beating them then I'll cheer for them to take the title. At least that way Dallas can say they lost to the champions.

My new target: Chris Kaman :D

2006-05-12T16:34:00.000+10:00

Hello, friends!

If you don't know who NBA player Chris Kaman is, feast your eyes on these beautiful pics right here:

Have you ever seen a more spectacular hairstyle than that for a basketballer??
Well, I've decided he will be my next photoshop victim :D
And I spent most of today in front of the computer making pics, here's some of what I came up with...

Chris Kaman as Guile from Streetfighter:

Kaman as a Super Saiyan from Dragonballz (animated... BONUS!)

And, Chris Kaman with his prom date (Sam Cassell's sister?)

There are just a few of the pics that I made, so far there's about 10 or so, and planning a whole new batch as well. If you want to check out the rest or have any ideas of pics I could make using Kaman's ugly mug please post them in here:

Family Portraits of other sports...

2006-04-25T10:44:00.000+10:00

Hello, friends!

The nba portraits thing turned out pretty big across the internet. I was thinking of turning my attention to other sports now though.
I did a few tennis ones back in the day :D

Such as this one of the Davenports

Also did a few NBA Calendar Girl pics back in the day too

Cassell:

Bogut:

Ha Seung Jin:

And some other random pics I made for peoples' requests as well
Gollum Barkley:

Mehmet Okur gardening:

Can't remember why I made the Okur gardening one. I think it was to taunt someone when my fantasy team was dominating his :P

Oh yeah, I just played NBA Live on xbox 360 and it rocks!
The graphics are crazy, the gameplay is a little bit crappy but it looks super sexy..
One thing that annoys me though is the free throw shooting. Why can't you run in and go for the rebound as soon as it leaves the players hand? it makes you wait until it's hit the ring.

-PETE

Xbox 360 is too cool for school!

I've only played demos so far, but holy crap is it good!
I played the Fight Night Round 3 demo and nearly crapped myself. The detail is super!
I can't wait to try out the NBA games and all the rest :D

I guess thats one good thing about working 50+ hrs a week, more money to spend on fun stuff :)))))))

My basketball team just won the grand final the other night, we got a trophy and everything. But now it looks like everyone is going off to do other things and only a few of our players are left. So I'm going to have to recruit a few new players so we have enough to continue on.

A new team and a new start. I've decided to change the name of the team to The Team With Joy In Their Hearts.
I can just imagine other teams asking who they're playing this week and having to hear back in reply 'The team with joy in their hearts' and then they end up losing by 40pts LOL

I'm going to try and recruit my friend Sam, and also a few guys I went to highschool with Adam and Jesse.

Wish me luck, friends! :D

I'm sleepy..

working 2 jobs is a killer...
the deli on weekends and the lab on weekdays...
my basketball team won the grand final last night
we were down 30-27 with 3 mins to go and went on a 10-0 run to win by 7 pts.
I had a good game with 22 points. Missed a few free throws though went 4/7 from the line.
I'll post up pics once they're on my computer, and we got a trophy too :D

P for Panchetta make a movie about me in the deli! V for Vendetta sucks balls.

2006-04-17T23:28:00.000+10:00

Welllllllll,

I just watched the V for Vendetta movie the other night and gotta say it was ass for most of it.

I dont know what the reviews or the fans or whatever have been saying about it and so this is my untainted opinion: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

In case there's anyone reading this that really liked the movie and is thinking 'f*ck you thumbboy, u don't know sh*t' well, I'll explain to you why I think the movie was so stupid.

First off let me say SPOILER ALERTSSS right here before you read on. If you're planning on wasting your money then shame on you, but at least I can say I didn't ruin the mongoloid plot for you.

Anyway, here's some parts of the movie that sucked:

Show the burnt face for crying out loud. When I realised the movie was trash that was the only thing keeping me alive. Kinda like Tom Hanks with his photo of Helen Hunt in Castaway. But much like Tom Hanks' disappointment after returning 2 years later to find she'd already been married for 3 years and had a 2 year old kid, They didn't show the burnt face. Shame on you...

The movie was also stupid how it kept showing closeups of that british dude's face screaming at ppl. I didn't find it intimidating it was more annoying than anything. The characters all made me want to see them die. Even the good guys.

Also, the scene where he says all the words that start with the letter 'V' really quickly and gets all exasperated - I listened closely and didn't hear 'vagina' even once. This was a perfect opportunity to inject some humour into the film and they let it slide :(
Vibrator, Vagisil, Voyeurism, Ventriloquist, Viagra all would have been funny too but the writers lacked imagination tsk tsk tsk.. very poorly written, can do better.

One other thing, why doesn't he die in the fire when he's been turned to charcoal and then again at the end when he's been shot a million times. He blocked a lot with the metal thing but still copped a few to his mask, why didn't those ones puncture the head? Don't tell me his mask is bullet proof. If he had that technology why wasn't it all over his body? For someone that we're being led to believe is so smart and dashing this type of thing would have occurred to him before he left the house that morning.

To summarise. let me just say this...

SAVE YOUR FRICKEN MONEY!!!

oh yeah, and here's a new pic I made. Thanks for letting me rant! :D

The Havliceks:

my friends... :)

damnit.. the internet is filthy!

2006-04-17T15:34:00.000+10:00

What a horrible day this is turning out to be :(

I am thinking maybe it's time I change my name from thumbboy

Allow me to explain.. I did a little google search for the word 'thumbboy' today just to see what the search engine would come up with..

Among the results were a bunch of sites that have the nba family pics up which was cool. There was a link to my DJ Thumbboy techno tracks I made back in the day that was pretty rad as well.

There were some computer programs called 'thumbboy V2.1' which I have no idea what they do, and then... oh yes then.. when I scrolled through and went to the last page, I found stacks of THUMBBOY PORN SITES!!

And something tells me they're not the happy type of pornos we all know and love, because the site they come from is called hot ass gay movies :(
Seriously I am not making this up, I wish I was. People out there have started using thumbboy as keywords for their porn sites. Not that I am surprised because there must be thousands of ladies out there typing in 'Thumbboy nude' in google. Though, I can't blame you you're only human ;)

However, when news of this discovery first leaked, many of my fans were beside themselves with sadness that my name had been compromised in such a way, and there were even those that contemplated suicide as a gesture of devotion.

Shockwaves have been felt all around the world at the use of my name for pornographic material. Here's one example:

In the middle east, the situation has reached boiling point and it is feared that things could become violent if the name is not changed soon:

Throughout China the people have joined together and are meditating on the issue, thank you my asian friends, please keep up the good work

moments after this picture above was taken, they broke out into mysterious martial arts moves. The leader was breaking stone tablets with his head and the others were all hitting their hands into hot hand with a flame underneath. I always wanted to try that because in movies it turns people into fighting machines.

In Europe the people have grown increasingly disturbed by the use of 'thumbboy' in pornographic search engines. One man in the crowd was heard to have said "Je suis Desolee Thumbboy, Comment Tu Tappelle?" Which when translated to english means, Thumbboy's purity is being tainted by these websites, please government officials, remove them from the internet.

And in India, I don't know what is happening exactly but thanks for the support!

I sometimes feel like eating newspapers too. In fact its not dirty at all to occasionally chow down on the sport section. People on the bus don't sit next to me :(

Anyways see, the thing is I already knew the internet was 95% pornography 5% other stuff, and I was cool with that. Internet pornography and myself had an understanding. We stayed out of each other's way. I mean sure, there's nothing wrong with downloading a little bit of the olde girl on girl, the milfs, the interacials, the bangbus, the threesomes, the foot fetish clips, the titf*cks, the transvestite handjobs, the woman/horse farm clips, the bondage, the mutilation clips, the puking in mouths, the golden showers and so forth, but don't we all?

BUT, when they start to come up with pornos called Thumbboy Clips.. that's some disturbing shit right there!!!

I haven't had the courage to click on any of these sites yet. I mean what if somehow I open it up and it's pictures of me when I am asleep and then before you know it, pics of Tera Patrick and Jenna Jameson lathering me up with oil and tag teaming me coming up on the screen?

The internet has drawn a line in the sand here today. And they're messing with the wrong dude. To join in with all the thumbboy fans across the globe I hereby vow not to view any pornography of any kind on the internet for at least... 2 days.

Please everyone that reads this join me in my stand, 2 days for you and I is very little to ask when my name is being deflowered by these vagrants...

Thank you, friends! :D

NBA PLAYER SAM CASSELL = ALIEN

2006-03-28T21:20:00.000+11:00

Sam Cassell is a basketball player with the face of an alien.

This is not something that I am alone in thinking but I have done my research and it turns out he has many forms that he switches between. Sickening! If you don't believe me, look at the following evidence I have accumulated:

Coming home from work...

"Hi Honey, I'm home!"

Morphing...

"Nnnnnngggyuaaaaaaaaaa"

Conehead Cassell...

"We come from France!"

Sam Cassell using the force...

"Win the game, we will... bzzzzzzz"

These are just a few examples of Cassell as an Alien. The truth is out there... RIGHT HERE!!

I made stacks of these pics, check em out whenever you're bored and in need of a laugh!

:)))))))))))))

HELLO, FRIENDS! :D

2006-03-26T16:33:00.000+11:00

Dear people,

Let me introduce myself. My name is Pete. I'm also known as Thumbboy!

I love to party in front of my computer. Sometimes I make pictures.

I enjoy photoshopping stuff that I find funny, and hopefully you will too :D

To test your love for me, I need to expose you to something extremely sickening. If you survive this and continue to look at my page you are a strong person, pure of heart and with the will of a champion, with fight and courage that knows no limits.

DANCING KIRSTEY ALLEY!!!

Bleeeauch! (I can't believe I spent 30mins on that animated gif without puking my guts out.. be strong....) :Þ

I can't stand that dumb bastard Kirsty Alley... How did she ever become a celebrity? Shes so annoying. One of my happiest moments in life was when the tabloid pics of her when she blimped up were released and she had this sour look on her ugly head. Oh man, I nearly cried tears of happiness on that day :)))))))))))

Anyway.. some of you may know me from my NBA Family Portrait pics I made. They were pretty popular, and got over 35,000 hits over on www.121s.com (a sports forum that I frequent). Here's the link to my pics actually for those that may not have seen them (AKA the entire internet minus about 35,000 ppl) :P 121s - NBA Family Portraits

Here's an example of what the family portraits look like.

The Sam Cassell Family Portrait:

There's HEAAAAAAAAPS more of those pics - I will post a few new ones in here from time to time but check out the original link for lots of laughs :)

Most of the time this page will be used to present my joy to the world. I hope that you will derive great pleasure from its viewing.

THANKS FOR VIEWING THE FIRST EVER PAGE

PS. BIG THANKS TO MY CUZ FOR HELPING ME TO GET THIS THING SET UP!!! :D
