No Im just asking, why did you laugh at the picture?

Its not the first time, you do it all the time, its annoying.

Then when someone pulls you up you will just say something completely retarded.
Laughed at, Mrs Blair couldn't hold back the Berlusconi charm you gotta admit it's funny.

    I dont know you at all nor want to but you do look like an idiot when you drool over Berlusconi. Post something worthwhile about him, post something that isnt mind numbingly boring, stop posting Berlusconi gags that noone finds funny.
    Correction: Pado finds my Berlusca gags funny and so did Azzuri who you feel the need to be little because he basically proved a point.

    Posting for comedic value?
    Not funny thus end.
    Not funny to you ... but then again with your wit and sense of humor or lack of it I'll take it as a compliment.


    ++ [ originally posted by Emma ] ++
    Posting it to show your love/support?
    We already got it and it is now extreme overkill thus end.
    Over-kill because your in a *****y mood? Over-kill because its me posting it? Over-kill because other people find it funny?
    Over-kill because it involves as your 'friend' stated a "greasy Italian"?

    ++ [ originally posted by Emma ] ++
    Posting for political discussion?
    I'll point you in the direction of a thread with Kaiser on XT perhaps?.
    Already did and we discussed Berlusconi on a political ideological level. I made a fortright and honest argument of WHY I think he is right for Italy and he countered. We both made valid points and RESPECTED each others opinion.

    Imagine I give you Ken Livingstone overload and you might start to see where Im at.
    Everything you post is overload: you constantly shove your ideas of how everyone is pathetic but you, Claire, River and Jae. You constantly remind us how stupid we are because of our supposed "brotherhood of the Americas".
    you constantly remind us of how some here are not funny and need to get a life...
    shall I continue?

    But wait, arent I meant to be Emma?

    Really, it is kind of sad that some people here lead such exciting lives they have to come here and try to come up with these little conspiracies, talk about paranoid.
    Sorry luv, but I toke a good bit of ganja, and paranoia is something that you can't escape.

    But, anyway, it was only conjecture. I don't really care either way, you're entertaining in your own way...each of you...

    Habs got the 5th over-all pick :devil:

    Word is that Lemieux and Crosby will play on the same line
    Oh man, tell me about it.

    I watched the lottery live via the internet here at work with my CFO, who happens to be a Habs fan, and a couple of my buddies who are Bruins fans.

    This is a great draft as well. If Bobby Ryan is still there at #5, I will have a heart attack. Can you say "Brendan Shannahan" Part 2??

    And Crosby is possibly the greatest prospect to come out since Lemieux.

    Oh yeah Nick, great response.

    Though when have I ever said Claire and River werent pathetic or when did I call you pathetic because of Americans or when have I said anything about greasy italians? Never did any of the above infact.

    If you cant see how lame it is that you trawl the internet to find Berlusconi pics and post videos on your blog pretending you touched him, continue as you will.
    I bet you have a special berlusconi folder right? 10G of nothing but Silvio? :howler:

    You are entertaining Azzurri7, well done, Martin also entertained him with an ip joke once even though Azzurri had no idea what was talking about. Enough said.

    If you want comedy, post the naked picture.

    And you cant take others posts and opinions and base an argument on me around then. Thats very idiotic of you.

    Turiaf: 'I'm going to be back'


    EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Ronny Turiaf was getting ready to make his pro basketball debut with the Los Angeles Lakers. He signed a contract last week. Then he took a team physical.

    Now the 22-year-old is preparing for surgery to keep him alive. Prospects of returning to the NBA are less than certain.

    "I'm going to try everything I can to beat it," an emotional Turiaf said Friday at a news conference at the team's training facilities in El Segundo.

    The problem, described as an enlarged aortic root, was discovered during a physical Turiaf took as a condition of joining the team, Lakers spokesman John Black said.

    It's too early to determine whether Turiaf's heart condition will be career-ending.

    "We don't want to speculate on that, but obviously we're hopeful that if things go well he will be able to [play again]," Black said. "Had he not had this corrected, my understanding from our doctors is very likely this would have been a fatal condition."

    Turiaf will most likely have the operation in the next four to six weeks.

    Turiaf thanked teammate Kobe Bryant and fans for their support and vowed to get past the condition so he can help his family.

    "Today is just another setback, another hurdle I'll just have to jump over," he said.

    The 6-foot-9 power forward and Martinique native moved to Paris when he was 15 to hone his basketball skills and eventually wound up at Gonzaga, where he scored 1,713 points and grabbed 847 rebounds over his four seasons.

    He was the West Coast Conference player of the year for 2004-05 at Gonzaga, helping the Zags reach the NCAA Tournament for the seventh consecutive season.

    The Lakers drafted Turiaf last month with their second pick (37th overall) behind 17-year-old center Andrew Bynum of St. Joseph High in Metuchen, N.J.

    Examinations of Turiaf a couple years ago and earlier this year at the pre-NBA draft camp turned up an abnormality. But in both instances doctors didn't think it was serious and cleared him to play.

    Further examinations by the Lakers' own physicians turned up the more serious problem, Black said, and independent experts confirmed it.

    The diagnosis of his condition surprised Turiaf, who said he feels just fine.

    "I never noticed any discomfort," Turiaf said. "That's the thing why I am so bothered by it. I don't feel tired. I have energy. ... It's just the way my heart is. I guess I have too big of a heart, I think that's what it is."

    A number of high-profile athletes have died after suffering sudden cardiac attacks in recent years, including former Loyola Marymount basketball standout Hank Gathers, who collapsed during a game and died in 1990.

    Reggie Lewis of the Boston Celtics died in a similar manner three years later, and Olympic figure skater Sergei Grinkov -- who, it was later determined, had two clogged arteries and a genetic defect that predisposed him to heart disease -- died unexpectedly while practicing in Lake Placid, N.Y., in 1995.

    The two most common factors that lead to sudden cardiac deaths are hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or an enlargement of the heart muscle, and Marfan's syndrome, which often leads to a weakening of heart valves. When a person overexerts, those conditions can be fatal.

    Despite the disappointment over his condition, Turiaf said he was grateful it was diagnosed in time.

    "I feel lucky because I don't want to die," he said.

    Turiaf agreed to a two-year contract with the Lakers, which would have been worth about $1 million if he played for both seasons.

    Black said the team's position on the Turiaf's contract is that it is void because he failed to pass the physical, but the league will have final say.

    The Lakers want to pay for Turiaf's surgery, if the league approves, Black said.

    Turiaf struck an optimistic tone when asked about his prospects for returning to the NBA following surgery.

    "Hopefully the doctors do a good job -- I'm sure they will -- to fix me up," he said. "I'm going to be back. ... And if not, I'm smart, I have a degree in sports management and communications. I'll make money no matter what."
