Later, Obi-Ty Kenobi
Posted by: ticktock6 in I Amuse Myself, Site News, Tyson is a Beast
So just to be funny one night when we might have been drinking (OK, that’s a huge lie– we were wasted), we stuck the Hornets winter hat over the top of the Tyson Chandler bobblehead like a cape and declared him Obi-Ty Kenobi. Then I woke up the next morning and it was still there, so I took a picture of it. And when I started this blog in January in a fit of jealous rage, due to the lack of local/national notice of the Hornets’ rise to prominence, I stuck Obi-Ty Kenobi at the top of the sidebar with the quote, “I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”
Because if you are not cracking Star Wars quotes while posing your Hornets bobblehead dolls for your blog, clearly you do not understand how to truly maximize the time-wasting potential of the internet.
Anyhow, it’s April 10th. The Hornets still hold the top seed in the West with four games left to play. The Chris Paul MVP hype machine is rolling, after a slow start. Last night the Hornets hit 55 wins to officially become the best Hornets team in the 21-year history of the franchise.
And I wanted to give a shout-out to Obi-Ty Kenobi, because I’m taking him down. It’s been fun, Ty, but you’re being replaced by a new bobblehead tableau. As you can see now to the right, we have the Hornets Empire.
Fear it.
(Oh, you thought I was kidding when I said I was going to pose those bobbleheads in fun ways. That’s funny. Also of mild hilarity are the three Photo Booth shots that my cat jumped into before I managed to get that one, which I am not posting. Don’t worry.)

I’m jealous; I don’t have the Tyson bobblehead. My circle is incomplete. (Or is it more of a triangle?)
When did they give out the Tyson one anyway?

Tyson bobblehead was sometime in mid-late January.
And to answer those questions:
1) I do have a job. It does not involve toys.
2) It’s a black sock.
3) There was no D West bobble this season, but I really really wish there was, so my circle could truly be complete.

Personally, I’m waiting for the Chris Andersen “Chia-Pet”. Think about it… it can grow hair and everything. If you wanted to get really creative, you can have moss grow in various tatoo patterns all over his arms.
