Credit to the good folks at KSK for finding this gem of egotism:

It's easy to discount the spiritual impact of basketball crowds ifyou haven't attended a playoff game with special fans before. There'sno way to understand it unless it definitely has happened to you. Thenyou know. As strange as this sounds, it's like a woman being unable to tell whether she's ever had an orgasm. If she thinks it might havehappened, or it felt like it kind of happened one time... it didn'thappen. When it happens, they know. Then they feel stupid for all theother times when they thought it had happened.

On a related note, the folks at Kissing Suzy Kolber consistently produce some hilariously funny stuff and should be a must read for sports humor fans. I particularly enjoyed their Brady Quinn and Lindy Slinger(Quinn's girlfriend) stuff. Anyway, after you've vistited YCS, go to KSK and enjoy their wittiness.
