"How To Be Better Than Your Twin" by Samaki Walker

He has a twin? In his NBA.com bio it says he is the youngest of 7 kids.

YES he has a twin...ANTOINE WALKER (i sure hope your post was out of sarcasm, cuz then i would be screwed)

but anyway, ya, antoine...they look alot alike, but i believe they are fraternal (reminds me of the Olsen twins...)
 
Antoine Walker was born Aug. 12, 1976. Samaki Walker was born Feb. 25, 1976. If they're twins, they're a true medical miracle.

Sorry, BobbyJ...

Sorry, BobbyJ...

maybe Mrs. Walker was in labor for...half a year.:eek:
 
darn...latrell's is gonna win...there should be more diversity to the opening round winners..aw well, i guess we have more time for that
 
no!...no i didnt mean it that way, i feel bad now...my foot has just been in my mouth today, waht is wrong with me?

i was just sayiing that alot of the winners in this round seem to be similar, and thats from voter decisions...im sorry, i didnt mean it like that

vf you rule!
 
:o Sorry, didn't mean to snap or anything.

This is really complicated - much more than I thought at first. In trying to level the playing field somewhat by holding preliminary rounds for those people who submitted a LOT of entries and not make them the presumptive favorites by sheer numbers, I've had to spend a lot of time reading the entries, eliminating ones that are virtually the same as earlier ones, eliminating ones that are simply not appropriate (as in "How to Come Close but Never Win the Prize" by the Sacramento Kings), shortening titles that simply wouldn't fit into the slots, etc.

So, when I read your comment - which I do understand - something snapped. Again, I'm sorry.

As far as similar titles go, I did try to remove those that were clearly duplicative. But when you get a couple of titles - both good - that are about the same thing but phrased differently - I didn't think it would be right for me to choose between them...

I'll be posting more preliminary threads today. Once I get it down to where there are less than 10 entries for every person, then I'll start the second round. In that round, I'll probably pick the top 2 entries per poll to go further, unless there is a runaway victor.

Well, at least I won't be wondering what to do with the rest of my summer.

;)

no worries vf, i should have phrased it better anyway.
