Nov 30 2007	Would This Scare You? When Jack Nicholson Attacks
By Jack Cobra \| Comments (22) \| Hype It Up! \| Filed Under: Basketball \| Jack Cobra Archive

So you are sitting on the bench minding your own business after your coach has pulled you from the game. Maybe you are watching the game, trying to figure out how the other team is being so successful and what you can do to change that. Maybe you are watching the cheerleaders perform their routines. Maybe you are checking out the hot blonde in the second row in the hopes that you'll make eye contact with her so you can send the ballboy over to get her number.....and then Jack Nicholson walks up behind you and says, "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?" Yeah, not good. Anyways, give me your thoughts on what you think Jack just said to Kenyon Martin and/or what celebrity you wouldn't want sneaking up and talking to you in this situation.
