    Gil Is Forever Paying Homage to Obama

    By Jamie Mottram | November 13, 2008

    I have a friend named Bull who got his first tattoo a few years back. Then his second, then his third, fourth, fifth and so on, and it seemed that with each new inking less and less consideration was going into what was going on his body. That’s not to say his ink isn’t gnarly, because it is, but it is to say that, like anything else, one gets addicted to the practice. And I think that’s what’s happening here:

      Without the “can,” a lot of the magic is missing.

      Has Steinz issued any type of statement explaining why he wasn’t the first to get a photo of this … last week?

      Ah, thanks sir. But all credit on this goes to Dan Hellie for snapping the pic and Jim Iovino for getting it up on the webs with speed.

      Gil doesn’t have someone that he pays to clip his fingernails?

      There’s no traffic in professional basketball in this town. That video of Vinny Cerrato’s wife talking about bunions (yes, it exists) > Gilbert tattoos.

      But don’t think I didn’t sulk over a cold beer last night.

      I hear ya, Steinz. The Wiz = linkbacks, while the Skins = traffic. Such is the nature of NBA and NFL blogstuffs.

      “In believe we change?” Sounds like gibberish to me. I guess this is one of those things you have to be a Washington insider to get.
