SIGN LANGUAGE — by Steve Nadis
File this under “Much Ado About Nothing”: There are a lot of reckless rumors circulating about Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce and his alleged use of “gang signs” to express his displeasure to a member of the Atlanta Hawks. I personally don’t see what all the fuss is about. For starters they were not “gang signs,” which is often said by people (usually white) who don’t know the first thing about such matters. In point of fact, they were merely hand signals for “I’m going to kill you.”
On a separate note, I’d like to apologize for yesterday’s entry, “Freaky Friday,” which was an otherwise excellent entry except for the fact that it was Thursday. But I was thinking that it was Friday, and maybe that was wishful thinking given that Friday is my handball day. To make a long story short, now it is Friday so why don’t we just file that one under the heading “One Day Early”?

I was kindof wondering about that “Freaky Friday on Thursday” thing, but I’m new to your posts and thought that maybe you just like to confuse us…thanks for clearing that up. BTW, I spent the entire day on Wednesday thinking it was Tuesday, so I know how it is. Have a great weekend, now that it’s here.
Thanks Wimer — though not to confuse matters further, I sometimes think every day could be freaky friday. –Snake
