Friday 5/30 Weekend Millings

Daily MillStar: A MillCredit goes to one of my fave 5 NBA players of all time, Vlade Divac. With the news of the NBA penalizing floppers starting next season, the Yugoslavian will go down in NBA history as the greatest flopper of all time (in my opinion at least). He wasn't called "the Trout" for nothing.

Daily MillDud: A MillDud goes to Clayton Holmes Grissom better known to us as "The Invisible" Clay Aiken. In August, Aiken will father a child...but just when I thought he might finally prove to us he's not gay...it turns out he merely donated his sperm and didn't put it there himself.

MillBoard Charts Song of the Day: On my drive home home today, I waited out the traffic by listening to some Black People music. One of the most intellectually stimulating songs I heard was "She Got It" by 2 Pistols featuring T-Pain. Monday's MillStar Award is yours if you can correctly count the number of times "She Got It" is said including the echoes.

Milligan: When I was in 11th Grade, a girl called me up at home and asked if I would go to the Junior Prom with her. I remember my mom picked up the phone and told me it was a girl. For some reason, the thought of having to my parents I was going to prom scared me...so I told the girl I wasn't going to go...while using really vague language because my parents were listening to my end of the conversation. In retrospect, I think I would have gone if I liked the girl who asked me. But for the sake of "the cycle," I probably should have said "yes" and gone to the prom anyway. (See the MillBox for more on "the cycle").

MillBox:
Question: So if a guy that I don't like romantically asks me out, shouldn't I just say "no" so he doesn't get the wrong idea? ~Inexperienced Girl, Virginia
Miller: If he has no criminal record, you MUST say "yes!" There is no way around it. If you say "no," you will shatter his confidence and he may never be able to ask another girl out. By saying "no" to him, you are not only hurting this guy, you are also hurting girls that may be waiting for him to ask them out. By saying "no," you break the cycle. Do the right thing, ladies; accept the free dinner for the sake of your fellow woman.

Millage People Shout-out
: Mad props to Tony Allen, who finally did something positive. By aggravating his old injury in practice, he has opened up a roster spot for the Boston Celtics to have a Token White Guy on their roster. Looking at the racial distribution of both Eastern Conference Finals Rosters, Brian Scalabrine proves that "There Can Only Be One."
