Right now, everyone comes over and is just awash in love for the adorable twin kittens. But in a year or two, when they aren't so cute anymore, they'll just be the twin cats. Apparently, there is a band in Indianapolis that goes by the same name. I'm not all that familiar with their current work, but I do know that their saxophonist has a killer beard. Regardless, I dread the day when our adorable twin kittens begin to remind me of that jovial saxophonist with the beard of good humor. (On a side note, should a certain bearded saxophonist ever form his own band, it should be called [His Name] and the Beard of Good Humor. Almost as good as "morsels of tenderness"...or "records record rec recordings recordplayers recreation records." But getting back to basketball... Indianapolis does deserve a good NBA franchise. (Damnit Gerlach...I just typed a Z before deleting it). I have never thought that Indy football fans deserved a team as consistently excellent as the Colts have been this decade, prior to this year. All the Colts fans out there who swear the Colts fan base is not fair weather -- just wait. Maybe not this year, but if their current downward trend continues, more and more empty seats will start popping up in Lucas Oil. Indiana sports fans in general are just not very sophisticated when it comes to football. Basketball, on the other hand, is a totally different story. Indy basketball fans will support a team that plays the game hard and values old school principles of good basketball. I'm with you -- I hope this new season for the Pacers is a fresh start and that they can start to rebuild some goodwill with an obviously and justifiably frustrated fan base.

I really hope they turn this around because I live in Indianapolis and ,although I'm not really a Pacer fan, I still think Indianapolis deserves a good NBA franchise. P.S.- you know what really pisses me off right now? The band "the Franchize" has forever ruined that word for me to the point that I spell the word with a "z" first and have to correct myself to spell it correctly.
