Slice of Life Challenge Entry#2
Wow…thank you all for the comments on my first post! It’s so encouraging to know that so many people enjoyed and read my post. Now, I’m feeling a bit of pressure, but it’s all good! This is something I really wanted to write about for a while. Something that has been on mind for the past few weeks. ❤
A Case of Linsanity
Warnings:
If you are any of the following, you are more susceptible to the disease, but not always the case:
- a New Yorker
- Knicks fan
- Asian American
- Christian
- Enjoys Cheering for the Underdog
Symptoms:
- Continual checking of NY Knicks Website and ESPN
- Reading any articles that mentions Jeremy Lin
- Using the lin word generator to come up with statements
- Continual postings on fb and twitter about Jeremy Lin
- Scheduling events around NY Knicks games
- Watching all JLin youtube videos
- Ordering JLin tshirts
- Following Spike Lee on Twitter
- Following other Knicks players because they may tweet about Lin
- Planning out how to “bump” into him
- Wanting to name your child Jeremy
- Planning a pilgrimage trip to Taiwan
Even the President has been caught with a mild case of Linsanity. I won’t confess to which of these symptoms I’m guilty of, but I’m Lin LOVE!
*Extra points for using lin words in your comment! 🙂
I think I can continue, ensured of not succumbing. 🙂
Haha, I can safely say that I do not have Linsanity, I have Linlikity? Lin-sounds-like-a-cool-guy-and-I-will-happily-listen-when-other-people-talk-about-him.
please tell me you didn’t buy a t-shirt.
Of course I didn’t buy the t-shirt. They don’t sell them here in Korea. However, my linsane friend in NY is sending me some b/c she is lincredible!!!!!!!!! 😀
Well as someone who goes out of their way to avoid sports I only have a vauge idea what you are talking about. However your slice was very effective! I love the list style and I think you really made it fun to read.
I laughed out loud reading your warning and symptoms. I think he is pretty cool, but I am not worried about catching that passion.
Great list! I haven’t paid much attention to this hoopla but my husband has been keeping me up to date.
Lincredible play on words. 🙂 You made me smile.

Well as we live in Colorado, we have heard news of Jeremy Lin for a while because we lost our star player, Carmelo Anthony, to the Knicks last year & now the talk is that “Melo” is jealous because of all the talk and accomplishment of Lin, plus we also have Tim Tebow here & he has been following Lin because of the Christianity connection. I understand the Linsanity because we’ve had Tebow mania for months. Love the post; hope you get a t-shirt soon!
Hmm, I just worry when he goes dry. Let’s see how he will pick himself up and continue 🙂 Is he a good learner?

Couldn’t help but laugh at your insanity (so clever!) I live in TebowTown, but haven’t quite succumbed to the craziness. I want to try something creative like this one of these days!
This is great! Loved sharing this post who I would categorize as having a growing case of Linsanity!
I’m a Knicks fan from way back (Ewing days), and it’s been hard to have anything to cheer about for a long time, so I am (quietly) cheering Jeremy Lin and the rest of the team, enjoying this happy spotlight, hoping it lasts!
Love the way you write! I laughed out loud a few times! Thanks for sharing!

What’s wrong with being a little crazy about such a great guy? We need more good role models. I have Lin-like-ity like him, too! Great lists!
