I watched the Nuggets beat the living whatchamacallit out of the Toronto Raptors. Actually, I didn't watch the entire game -- it was a gruesome mismatch. I can endure only so much garbage time at a single sitting. The high point, for me, was a comment by one of our home team announcers (I'll not reveal his name). Toronto has a reserve point guard named Willie Solomon, who acquired the nickname "King Solomon" when he played for Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2005. "Must be a reference to the movie," suggested our announcer.
I'm guessing that he means King Solomon's Mines.
Well, no one ever suggested that we consult TV announcers for knowledge of scripture.
Very funny. It reminds me of a letter I read in the paper some years ago. The writer had gone to a jeweller's to buy a crucifix. The salesgirl asked, "do you want a plain one, or one with a little man on it?"
