DJ Skree & Cantaloupe

Alexis Norton(@alexiskn wins the contest I made up two seconds ago and didn’t tell anyone about.)

I’m writing what you’ve asked me to write about. Here it begins.

From @NDEddieMac:
1) Skree?

Skree, if you’re not aware, is the sound that Chris Bosh used to make on my old website.

From here forward, it’s related to my open offer to one NBA player rep to use the following idea on one (and only one) of your players next season:

1) Whenever this player comes out of the game, the trainer should hand him a plate of sliced cantaloupe. He eats it. This happens every time he hits the bench, including timeouts, when maybe he just takes one slice.

2) When reporters start asking him why he does this, he’s to say, “Cause it’s good?” in a matter-of-fact manner.

3) Once per month, when the trainer tries to give him the cantaloupe, he should cross his arms and pout.

This could take like a Charlie Villanueva or a Rudy Gay – good players who have been somewhat low-profile – up a big notch publicity-wise.

The bloggers would love it, and it’s healthy, which means teams can run cantaloupe-based promos for kids. Whoever owns the trademark on cantaloupe would pay big money!

Because of their quirky cantaloupe eating habit, the player’s new nickname would be DJ Skree.

What do you think? Do you still wear a watch? What do you think Alexis Kay En is looking at in that picture? Is that her Jedi name omg.

(Don’t forget to enter the big coloring contest – it’s your chance to win the world’s only two $15 bills.)

    This is a fantastic idea. Plus if they did start to do songs you could obviously call each one a “Skreemix” ala the Spike Lee “Joints.” Instant street credibility

    And everyone in the crowd can be like SKREE! SKREE! as he eats his cantaloupe.

    Well done with the Skreemix sir.

    I only wear a watch when I run. And it's obvious Kay En is looking at a picture of a trophy.

    Only problem: what if we suffer another great cantaloupe famine?

    is Cantaloop by Us3 your favorite song? it's my favorite song. here it is if you'd like to listen to it now: http://blip.fm/profile/alexiskn/blip/17377352

    yes, i still wear a watch. every day. it's kind of a big watch, too. i like watches.

    I wear a watch, yes. Are you implying that blackberries and cell phones and whatnot have rendered them pointless? Nay, sir, they are a much less obnoxious way to check the time, and much less cumbersome than pulling a device out of your pocket–it's right there, on your wrist, viewable with a quick, subtle turn.

    I wear mine on my right hand to better show off the tattoo on my left forearm, which extends further down towards my hand than the one on my right.

    I believe she's looking at a mosquito on the wall.

    Oh, no to the watch, used to have one of those huge g shock ones but I quit wearing it, phone does the job for me. Is it possible that AKN is actually looking at nothing to throw us off of what is really going on? Prob not, my bet is a Dirk poster

    ooo that reminds me i should buy a Dirk poster…

    why couldn't i be looking at a REAL trophy? don't you think i've won a trophy at some point in my life??

    things i've won trophies for:
    1) some dance team thing in high school + numerous ribbon type trophies
    2) some tennis thing or 2 at some point in my life
    3) numerous trophies for Music Memory competitions in elementary school
    4) trophies from my piano teacher just for being awesome
    5) our local Eckerd's drugstore used to have this coloring contest every easter and i won like 4 years in a row. i think after that they disqualified me for being too awesome.
    6) i think my childhood soccer team (Sugar & Spice…) won something at some point. after that, soccer bored me and i quit.

    I hope the trophy says “Tennis Champ”.

    I don't want to be a parade-rainer, but cataloupes are at their best, or “in season” from June to September.

    only good during the season

    LOL I totally tricked you. You're looking at a picture of one of your trophies that you lost.

    dude. that doesn't even make sense. cuz if it was *my* trophy that i lost, that means i won it and then misplaced it. fail for you, win for me.
