Hi here's a real post k.
I was surfing around the interweb and found an old vid of a 5'8'' french guy jumping over people and cars dunking, he could definitely headbutt the rim if he wanted to, but no he settles with jump kicking it. So being 5'7'' i was naturally inspired to do something at least similar. I'm not in the best shape ever and have been frustrated with feeling like the old dude on the court lately. Playing with high school kids is really depressing when you "know" you can run faster and jump higher but it just doesn't happen. With all this in mind, I've set a goal for myself--I'm going to dunk. Today, November 12, 2007, I will restart my air alert program, and this time I'm doing it to the end.
To help keep my eye on the prize (and make it interesting for you all) I've made a deal with cfu:
elfffff: 15 weeks from today
so krazy buT y: which is 3 months and 3 weeks
so krazy buT y: approxmimately
elfffff: ill be dunking
so krazy buT y: I KNOW
so krazy buT y: if you dont dunk in 15 weeks
so krazy buT y: u have to go on a date with (omitted)star
so krazy buT y: just one
so krazy buT y: dinner and movie
elfffff: lol
elfffff: i dont even know how to contact her
elfffff: but ok
elfffff: sure
so krazy buT y: i will find a way
so krazy buT y: to contact her
so krazy buT y: im sure (omitted) is still around
so krazy buT y: somewhere
elfffff: if however some unforseen event were to prevent me from doing this
elfffff: like
elfffff: i broke my leg
so krazy buT y: well thats reasonable
elfffff: or my dog died
so krazy buT y: .....
so krazy buT y: no
so krazy buT y: dog died has nothing to do with your physical capabilities to perform a slam dunk
elfffff: sure it does
so krazy buT y: scientifically proven that it does not
elfffff: id like to see that study
Some names were omitted to avoid being murdered...but a lot of you can probably figure out who it is anyways.
15 weeks from today, that is Feb. 25, 2008 I will either have a self-congratulatory post + a video of my dunk up here OR I'll be on a date (assuming she agrees).
Note: If you think you have a better proposition please comment it.
My current vertical is 26 inches.
My vertical reach is 87 inches. 10' goal = 120 inches. I'd say 132 inches needed to dunk convincingly. If my math is correct I have 19 inches to gain >_<

26 inches..... AROUND
Perhaps, Elvin, you would like to elaborate more about the girl you might be going on a date with. Things like..what kind of girl she is, what relation she has to you, and perhaps what she dreamed about you. I am sure everyone reading this blog would love to know how big of a deal this bet is.
OH MY (.)(.)'s
thanks guys for never letting me forget this
this is a win win, either inspire us all or entertain us all
I hope you can ball. But I REALLY hope you go on a date.
(.)(.)
good luck, elf!!
either way, dreams do come true, hehe
I hope that you fail miserably at this quest, THEN go on a date with this girl, THEN ACTUALLY FALL IN LOVE WITH HER AND MARRY HER. Then that way you can explain to your kids that you and their mother got together because you lost a bet.
Yeah, I'm rooting for that development to occur.
I am sitting here in PCL reading this facking post laughing so hard. I just don't know what to think...all I know is that I'll be in Houston when the time expires...I CANT WAIT
OH man Elf, I can't wait to see what happens! I propose that whether you dunk or not, you ask the girl out. It would make your friends all happy =) hehe...
I have also marked this day into my planner. I'm going to want to see how far this dunking has come along on Dec. 22 when we play some ball!
