no new jers… shhhhh!, just nets

The Real Housewives of… Ø
* Word is that the New Jers… Shhhhh! I mean, the Nets, are trying to distance themselves from the state they currently operate in. The jerseys will no longer say, “New Jers…” Shhhhh! Instead they’ll just say, Nets. I think that’s a splendid idea. Why don’t we just remove the moniker, “New Jers…” Shhhhh! from everything. Like Prince, we’ll just replace it with a symbol. How about Ø? So for instance – the great feathered hair rocker, Jon Bon Jovi is from Ø — would now be accurate. As would – the non-curly headed Lopez twin plays for the Ø Nets. How about – the locals just love to party down on the Ø shore in the summertime? Rolls right off the tongue if you ask me.

Get on it, Kiki.

Seriously though, when the team moves to Brooklyn so LeBron can play for his BFF, Jay-z, are they going to even keep the “Nets” part? I’m thinking they should just be up front about it and call them the “Brooklyn LeBrons” and go ahead and name the court “the King James Royal Court (no handshakes allowed).” Let’s just keep it real, Daddy. No reason to put LeBron in a box. He wants to rule the free world and as God is his Witness, he will.

In the meantime, enjoy your Ø Nets, Ø fans.

You do know that "ø" is an actual letter in the Norwegian and Danish alphabets?

Hmmm, I thought I replied to this already, but I'm not seeing my reply. Anyway, I am stealing it from the Norwegian and Danish alphabets because it looked similar to a circle with a slash through it. I didn't have time to actually photoshop the symbol I was thinking of, so I grabbed the "letter" from the wysiwyg. My sincerest and heartfelt apologies to Norway, Sweden, Denmark... is Switzerland part of this mix? Hell, either way, them too.
