A Reminder of How the Feud Started

Ten years ago SCZA and I were pretty close friends. We sat in the back of class and made fun of the losers ("you know you're late when Crowley is down to a decent shade of pink.") We shook vending machines to release my chips. We drove home from Wrestlemania together thus avoiding the "Chicopee incident."
Then it all changed. Brian Williams changed his name to Bison Dele. Scza sent out an e-mail warning us not to select Dele in fantasy basketball because he does not exist. In reply I wrote to avoid Armen Gilliam because he des not exist either.
Turns out Gilliam changed his name from Armon to Armen to avoid mispronounciation. SCZA got mad and things were never the same between us.
Until the existence of our blogs, the friendship of Pizza Parlor Derek and a mutual love of the Mets thawed our Cold War.
Now comes a painful reminder of what split us in the first place. Houston Texans running back Domanick Davis legally changed his name to Domanick Williams.

Love will keep us together

    This is funny. I barely remembered any of this until now. The Bison Dele incident was ridiculous.
