Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Continues Rampage, New York Wins On Road

Creative Writing Contest

Imagine you're me.  Now smile at the mirror and wink at yourself, you handsome devil! 

Now imagine that Ilya Kovalchuk had signed with the Kings for 17 years, $100 million dollars.

Now imagine the league had voided that contract.

Put what my response would have been in the comments.  Best response gets, like, a hearty slap on the back or something.

As Rudy would say, there is no joy, only relief. Congrats on escaping alive.

I’m not the smartest guy in the world. I don’t read books or know how "getting pregnant" works. I can’t promise nights filled with intellectual conversation, but if we’re walking past a chain-link fence, you can rest assured that I’m going to try and chew a hole through it.

He may be richer, prettier and more talented than me…

But he’s never gonna have a beard like mine.

You probably would have just talked about how your definitely not gay even though you had an orgasm looking at a picture of Gregory Peck once and that vodka is for girls. Like every post.

Note: Illya calls Rudy “Colonel” at points cause of some gay role play shit they did earlier in the day.

Rudy: You’re back too fast. You didn’t get my cigars, did you? Get outta here, Illya.
[loads the .45]
Illya: I thought we had a deal.
Rudy: I welched. I’m a welcher. Didn’t I tell you?
Illya: No, what you told me was, that you gave me all the bullets.
Rudy: I lied.
Illya: Yeah, well you could’ve fooled me.
Rudy: And I did.
[pause]
Rudy: Illya, how you ever gonna survive in this world without me?
Illya: Colonel, why don’t you just give me the gun, all right?
[Rudy picks up the gun and points it at Illya]
Illya: What are you doing?
Rudy: I’m gonna shoot you, too. Your life’s finished anyway. Your friend Bettmen is gonna sing like a canary. And so are you. And once you’ve sung, Illya, my boy, you’re gonna take your place on that long, grey line of American manhood. And then you will be through.
Illya: I’d hate to disagree with you, Colonel.
Rudy: You’re in no position to disagree with me, boy. I got a loaded .45 here. You got pimples. I’m gonna kill you, Illya, cause I can’t bear the thought of you SELLIN’ OUT!
Illya: [now firm] Put the gun down, all right, Colonel?
Rudy: What? You givin’ me an ultimatum?
Illya: No, I’m…
Rudy: I give the ultimatums!
Illya: I’m sorry. All right I’m sorry.
Rudy: It’s all right, Illya. You break my heart, son. All my life I’ve stood up to everyone and everything, because it made me feel important. You do it… because you mean it. You’ve got integrity, Illya. I don’t know whether to shoot you or adopt ya.
Illya: Not much of a choice, is it, sir?
Rudy: Oh, don’t get cute now.
Rudy: I asked you a question. Do you want me to adopt ya or don’t ya?
Illya: Please? I mean, you’re just in a slump right now.
Rudy: Slump? No slump Illya. I’m bad. I’m not bad no. I’m rotten.
Illya: You’re not bad. You’re just in pain.
Rudy: What do you know about pain? hmm? You little snail darter from the Russia. What the fuck you know about pain?
Illya: Let me have the gun Colonel.
Rudy: [Rudy cocks the .45] No time to grow a dick son.
Illya: Just give me the gun all right Colonel?
Rudy: [Illya begins to move towards Rudy] I’m talking a parade ground. Ten-hut!
[Illya stops moving then begins again]
Rudy: Soldier. That was a direct order.
Illya: Give me the gun?
Rudy: You can stay or you can leave. You understand? Either way I’m gonna do this thing. Now why don’t you leave and spare yourself?
Illya: I want your gun Colonel.
Rudy: I’m gonna give myself a count. You need a count for balance. Five, four, three, two, one. Fuck it.
[He raises the gun to his head and Illya lunges for it. They struggle with it across the room]
Rudy: Gimmie it. Fuck it!
[He gets the gun away from Illya and points it at him]
Rudy: Get outta here!
Illya: I’m staying right here!
Rudy: Get outta here!
Illya: I’m staying right here
Rudy: I’ll blow your fuckin’ head off.
Illya: Then do it. You wanna do it? Do it. Let’s go
Rudy: [Rudy pulls the hammer on the gun back] Fuck! Get outta here!
Illya: So you fucked up all right? So what? So everybody does it. Get on with your life would ya?
Rudy: [screaming] What life? I got no life! I’m in the dark here. You understand? I’m in the dark!
Illya: So give up. You wanna give up? Give up ‘cause I’m giving giving up too. You said I’m through you’re right I am through. It’s all over. So let’s get on with it. Let’s fuckin’ do it! Fuckin’ pull the trigger you miserable dog fucking motherfucker. Pull the trigger.
Rudy: Here we go Illya.
Illya: I’m ready.
