    Not to be the voice of reason or anything, but I'm really thinking this was a reaction to some sleeping pills, not an intentional suicide attempt.

    In other words, carry on.

    (ps to the guy who didn't like the Hit A Jew thread: It wasn't posted to be funny.)

    Ex-lax. He didn't die, but only wishes he had.

    Isiah made a ton of ex-lax-laden brownies for Marbury, but got hungry and ate them.

    Just take several moments to contemplate how much depression Zeke's PROVOKED, over the years.

    You'd think he'd have already OD'd on overpriced guards.

    Zeke wanted to get into the state the Knick fans were by the 2nd qtr of every Knick game for the past 5 years - asleep.

    SJ rule of thumb is that eschewing allowed for any tragedy caused by stupidity resulting in death or severe injury as soon as news flash is posted.

    Otherwise there is a 3 day "no cruel remarks" waiting period.

    This rule has been in place since Ken Caminitti met his maker in a Bronx tenement.

    Is there a reverse "condolence" rule if the death is caused by stupidity, i.e. had Isiah died, you'd have waited three days until writing the official letter?

    To be fair, most Knicks fans had changed the channel long before second quarter rolled around.

    Yes death by stupidity condolence letters are posted on third day.

    Tragic death prompts immediate letter.

    I know A.P. is looking for SJ community to make some kind of statement on this one.
