Plan: Getting Gilbert Arenas to Hook You Up With NBA Tickets August 28, 2007

Posted by TheHype in Washington Wizards , trackback |

At the beginning of the month, Gil schnagged a joke from a comedian and retold it through his entertaining NBA blog. At the time, I said it really wasn’t a big deal over at the FanHouse, with Arenas not really a comedian. He even talked about it after some discussion saying “so what?” But afterwards, I swung the ball back out, repositioned myself and thought: “actually, that’s kinda uncool, since Ian Edwards (the comedian) is making a living off that joke—and it doesn’t get recognized if it’s ripped without at least some mention of him” y’know?

I was starting to think my tee-shirt hero is mischievous, the bad kind, the evil sneaky Gargamel kind!

But thank goodness the Black President assures us he’s a stand up guy, from his latest BLOG POST:

Shark Comedians Unite
Me and Ian Edwards texted. We chopped it up. He said when I come to L.A. I have to get him some front row tickets and then he’ll give me some tickets for his comedy show. I told him, “Sound good. That’s all I watch is comedy.” And he wrote back, “Yeah, I can see that.” So we’re cool. I have to give him a shout out.

Aha. Well, that’s it. That’s the plan: think of an awesome “bit” and hopefully the East Coast Assassin picks up on this, rip it off and then we make nice and be friends. Here’s my joke:

NBA COURTSIDE SEAT TICKETS PLEASE MR. ARENAS!
