The skit that "missed the mark" occurred in a break in play during the second quarter of Charlotte's game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. The child was brought onto the court with Hugo, the Hornets' mascot, dressed as Santa Claus. After a letter to Santa requesting a PS5 was read out loud, a cheerleader came out with a bag containing the video game console.

The young fan was visibly overjoyed as he received the pricy gift. However, according to an online acquaintance, he was less happy when the cameras turned off and a Hornets staffer took it away, replacing it with a jersey.

Shit, we didn't even need an argument to stab each other.

I've still got bits of pencil broken off in my limbs from school.

Haha me too.

And Greg. I stabbed Greg in the leg. I bet he grits his teeth and thinks about me every time he takes a shit.

I grit my teeth and think about Tim every time I notice the graphite in my hand.

He on the sex offender registry now though…so he’s worse off than me with his knocking on doors to inform his neighbors he’s a sex pest everywhere he goes ass.
