Internal Test Case
As I continue my Obama-like slide toward the center, and wonder if I don't like the rhetoric of revolution but rather prefer the functionality of, well, skewed functionality (because otherwise it's hopeless romanticism), I also appear to have lost my YouTube ears. No one I've shown this to thinks it's funny. So in defiance of them, and last-ditch affirmation of self, I'm posting it here for you all to decide. Especially since no one's found those requested clips for me to watch yet.
Expect a unified theory of Anthony Randolph in the next few days, which will try and make sense of my recent introspection.

umm...cute?
I'm just confused. Is he trying to sell the product in a sort of G2 Gatorade mourning/wade sort of way? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRnCeUWrybo)
Or is the entire thing tongue in cheek? IVE JUST BEEN RONDO'D.
Also, i stumbled upon this. Wii bowling is awesome.

WAIT. PURPLE drink! dave chappelle told me about how much black people love purple drink. and the white guy says he's only been drinking 40's. Ok i guess i sort of get that it's all a joke, but still. weirddddd.
ok ONE MORE THING. i went to the youtube site of that video to read the comments. and someone left this gem, "i use to smoke blunts with rajon back when he was in lexington when he played ball wit Ky." obviously it might not be true. but it's fun to think about.
Is there actually a drink on the market called Purple? It's funnier if he's alluding to promethazine.
I love that it's tagged "incline press." I know Rondo's talking about his muscles, but that's a strange lift to pick.
For those who don't know, the stuff is called Drank. I have no idea where they're selling it, and the website is like, barely up and running. You can watch flash videos of poorly known Houston rappers, but you can't buy the beverage. It's basically sizzurp with herbal stuff in place of the pharmaceuticals.
I think this is funny, but only because I think anything associated with Drank is funny.
Oh, and it's publicly traded.
@ salt bagel:
No, I think he's talking about Purple, the 100% juice.

Sorry about the long link. Unless you were joking...?
GP, looks like you're right. Which kinda sucks, because it would be funnier if Rondo was trying to grow muscles with a drink that is supposed to just mellow you out.
Well, this other stuff can only profit from any confusion.
If the makers of Drank are smart, they'll sell it in Brooklyn. Hipsters would buy it just to display on their shelves ironically. I know I would.
Randolph, the next Bosh? He scored 30 the other day, but is as weak as Durant

Back in my Bushwick hipster days I used to room with a 40 year old grifter who escaped to Chicago owing money to every painter, musician, actor and clothes designer in the building. We all believed he was 27 as he kept his head shaved and put lotion on every inch of his skin in the morning. He kept fit by balling and serially standing in friendly apartments swaying in a cross between MC grandstanding and Scotty Pippin dribbling. Now he can start buying Purple to supplement his youthifying ritual.
"i've just been staying lean drinking this purpleness."
that's funny right there.
R. Lobstah, that is one of the funniest posts I've ever seen on this site.
WV poetry - fzzssu: The sound made when everyone collectively passes on Person X's summer lig game in two weeks.
I think Purple is to black people what Malta is to Puerto Ricans.
