The German Wunderkind did it!

theballatician — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 05:21:25 +0000

I just returned home from watching the game with the homies!!! Man, we had a blast. This series could’ve gone on forever, but in the Dallas Mavericks we have a true championship team, that came a long way to finally be on top! Great to see all those players get their first ring.

For us over here, it’s obviously very special because of Dirk Nowitzki. The first German to win an NBA title. And it’s crazy, that he’s just a kid, that grew up just a one hour drive away from Frankfurt, just behind the border to Bavaria, and that a few people, that I got to know through basketbal, even have crossed their ways with him either in the youth teams, as coaches or on the national team. And now he’s NBA Champ and on a little sidenote MVP of the Finals.

This gives me the opportunity to finally unveil this little gem.

Yeah, it’s a poster with his name on it! But look again…

He might be the guy in the back waiting to check into the game, but he certainly ain’t the dark-haired guy finishing with the layup nor did he ever wear #11!!!

It must have been the eraly 2000s when I found this poster at our local SPORT LOEBL store. I just had to buy it. I didn’t even ask the staff or told them, that there was something completely wrong with this poster.

In 2003 Dirk played with the German national team here in Frankfurt against Turkey. After the game the court was invaded by the masses. I was a part of it, as I wanted his signature on it. Or at least, that he would notice, that something is wrong. But he was so busy getting his autograph on every single item, that he didn’t even look at what he was signing.

So that’s really his autograph right there above the knees.

Long story short: CONGRATS, DIRK! HARD WORK PAYS OFF!! BE PROUD, GERMANY!!!

You don’t wanna mess with a gas pump!

The test period at university is occupying almost all of my time right now. (Therefore no posts in the last weeks from me. Sorry!!!)

But after a written test this morning, this was a heck of an e-mail to get, because it really uplifted my mood (Propz go out to the sender). So, me thinks the best thing is to share it with you, so maybe it could have the same effect for you. Or at least, it’ll just give you a good laugh.

*Two aliens*

Two aliens landed in the Arizona desert near a gas station that was closed for the night. They approached one of the gas pumps and the younger alien addressed it saying, ‘Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader.’

The gas pump, of course, didn’t respond.

The younger alien became angry at the lack of response. The older alien said, ‘I’d calm down if I were you.’ The younger alien ignored the warning and repeated his greeting. Again, there was no response.

Annoyed by what he perceived to be the pump’s haughty attitude, he drew his ray gun and said impatiently, ‘Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Do not ignore us this way! Take us to your leader or I will fire!’

The older alien again warned his comrade saying, ‘You probably don’t want to do that! I really don’t think you should make him mad’.

‘Rubbish,’ replied the cocky, young alien. He aimed his weapon at the pump and opened fire.

There was a huge explosion. A massive fireball roared towards them and blew the younger alien off his feet and deposited him a burnt, smoking mess about 200 yards away in a cactus patch.

Half an hour passed. When he finally regained consciousness, he refocused his three eyes, straightened his bent antenna, and looked dazedly at the older, wiser alien who was standing over him shaking his big, green head. ‘What a ferocious creature!’ exclaimed the young, fried alien. ‘He damn near killed me! How did you know he was so dangerous?’

The older alien leaned over, placed a friendly feeler on his crispy friend and replied, ‘If there’s one thing I’ve learned during my intergalactic travels, you don’t want to mess with a guy who can loop his penis over his shoulder twice and then stick it in his ear.

Dynamo is really getting people freaked out. Just ask Pharell or check out this video, as I don’t wanna take anything away.

Any by this, he has gotten himself some nice endorsement deals, don’t you think? Anywayz, if you want to know more about him, either go to his website www.dynamoworld.com (providing more stunning clips) or follow @dynamomagician on Twitter.

This is just in between and the video is already older (alreadyyyyy), but other than that I don’t think any words are needed. You just have to watch.

We go way back.

theballatician — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:57:04 +0000

Just recently, my old classmate Flo sent me this picture and we were blown away, how some people were that far ahead of their time.

By the way, Flo is working on so many great projects and has his own exhibition next week – we’ll definitely have some more posts about that. And we will never get tired of playing around with that RUN theme, so keep ‘em coming. Big props to Flo.

Everybody have a good and safe weekend.

Nostalgia.

theballatician — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 07:43:36 +0000

Recently, a friend posted this video on Facebook. I have been knowing it since me and my homies started to discover these type of videos on the internet back in the days (early 2000′s). We couldn’t get enough of this guy, coming in, looking like Mr. Bean and just rocking the damn thing and tried to search for more footage of him, but never found anything. This guy deserves some credit and I’m glad to give him all the exposure RUN FFM can give him, while reminiscing the early internet days…
