Boston Celtic Dancers and more!

By special request (for my one constant commenter from Woo-sta)... a few updates on Wareham's Cherie Blier, she of the Boston Celtics dance team...

Cherie's voice is cuter than she is, btw.. no mean feat. 

When it comes to media relations worldwide, Cherie seems to be the squad's go-to-girl.

Proof:

Video - NECN.com - Flash Player Installation...

CB does the local Phantom Gourmet spinoff. 

I haven't got the cheesecake yet, but I do plan to install Gabby and Melissa in her mother's dance school in BBay when they show an interest.

The three of us currently dance more for comedic effect, and the Colonel is actually dangerous when dancing to anything faster than "Into The Mystic." I actually turned him down for a dance at our own wedding. Huge paws on the Colonel.

Don't believe me? Here's one of his shoes:

That's a motherfrickin' Starbury, ho. This particular Starbury is actually larger than my American hometown of Duxbury.

I plan to join this fine Yahoo Group, under my non-porn group name....as soon as I make a non-porn group screen name. It's not the most active group I ever saw- I've seen groups dedicated to Foot Fetishism that have 500 times as many members... but it looks high quality. Join up and vote for Cheri in the polls!

YouTube - Boston Celtics Dancers on Soccer AM

Here's the CB on British TV...an amazing video. I'm amazed that the Brits held off the Nazis.

 ****************************************************************

Stick around til 1:30 to see UMass' own Julius Erving drive thru 5 dudes and throw one down in former Celtic Bill Walton's stupid ugly lumberjack face. Superb announcers, too.  YouTube - Dr. J 1977 NBA Finals the most explosive player of all time

YouTube - NBA 1974 Boston Celtics Bradlees Commercials... Havlicek, Cowens, and Nelson... are there still Bradlees anywhere?

YouTube - THE LEGEND - Bob Cousy MIX by MISIEK... could play today, no doubt. Lovely set shot. Bob Cousy is also a great announcer... my 4th favorite, after Johnny Most, Tommy Heinsohn and Cedric Maxwell. As someone who also tries to hide a French accent, I love Bob Cousy's voice. If you ever meet him or I in person, try to make us say "Rory Sparrow."

The Starbury is a shoe named after NBA player Stephon Marbury. He refused to put his name on an expensive shoe, and finally found someone who could make shoes for $25 retail.

When LeBron James goofed on the cheap Starburys in the press, Steph responded by saying something like "LeBron's shoes are made for a dollar a week in Thai sweatshops, and marketed for $170 a pair to poor urban kids. I'd rather have less money, myself."

Cherie is the prettiest of the 4 dancers in the video, btw... not even close.

Like, totally. She may be actually like twice as pretty as that big Statue of Liberty girl they trotted out at the end.

Hakeem Olajuwon did a similar thing to the Starbury in the 1980s.

He gave some African-sounding speech that was pretty cool... something like "I refuse to bring shame upon my ancestors by endorsing such an overpriced item as a sneaker."

Cherie can roll my canolli anytime. Looks like the Colonel may have all of us beat in the canolli contest with the size of those canal boats. Celtics players look like they were wearing panties in those old uniforms. I havent been to a Celtics game since the dancers debuted. My roomate from Umass has season tickets and saw some of the dancers at The 4's Bar Friday night. He is too cheap to buy a cell phone with camera so no shots. I get the English soccer league channel now on Charter and I have to say I find myself watching it more then NHL hockey. The crowds are so passionate over there. Time to fix a drink!!!

While Stacey has declined to give further details in deference to my age, she said that the first few years of her relationship with the Colonel were physically difficult.

She also didn't mean to buy the cheapo shoes...but when you see shoes that will fit the Colonel in a mall, you buy them. I've bought him shoes for this reason, and I'm just the babysitter. She usually has to buy his shoes online.
