Around SBN: How The Kings Beat The Coyotes: Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Junk Drawer aka Trail Mix-25th

I need a hair cut. Right now it's long it's like overgrown emo hair. I'm not sure how I want it cut down though. Back to my usual length or a drastic redisign. Rather, should I blow up the team and focus on building young talent or trade for some veterans and hope for the best..you know... I think I get wayyyy too caught up in making basketball analogies now a days. Like I think at this point, I could could describe everyone in the world with NBA draft jargon. Like I would say I'm "high potential, good upside, lacks fundmenetals and carries a bust risk".  I don't this opening lives up to my prior I had designed a few days ago.

PS, Brian Eno is pretty awesome. He made the windows noise.

Speaking of new hairdos

I don’t know if this phenomena is restricted solely to Alaska or not, but has anyone else noticed that the mohawk is making a comeback as a popular hairstyle?

I first noticed this trend when I visited an elementary school back in May and in 5 minutes I saw 2 kids with mohawks walk by. Then the next week I saw kids with mohawks at church (which honestly was the last place that I thought I would see mohawks). And this isn’t solely relegated to the under 10 crowd. Today at Qdoba I saw a guy who was at least in his mid-to-late-20s with a mohawk. These aren’t those ultra-trendy faux-hawks either, these are honest to goodness mohawks like Oden’s was.

I think the mohawk is coming back

Do you remember a couple years ago when every boy had Long hard? Ugly…now it’ s this blasted mohawk.. UGLY. Well My son did have a mohawk , I thought he was cute w. it but that is , of course, because he is 4 and most 4 year olds looks ‘cute” in whatever we dress them or style them in…

Child Abuse

I think any conscientious citizen would call child protective services if they did this to their children. Even on a 4 year old it’s not cute, it’s abuse.

Don't get so worried

I know the Childress thing is somewhat alarming to some of us. The media is reacting to Childress signing with the Greek team as the tip of the iceburg. Here is something to chew on…....

Woud you consider Josh Childress a top 50 player in the NBA? I don’t think I would. He is a role player. Well that roleplayer just signed the BIGGEST contract in Euroleague history. It is a considerable amount of change, but does it rival what franchise player level guys make in the NBA on a regular basis? Nope. The European teams are still far off from truly competing with the NBA for players (the good players atleast)

I know a place where we can go

I was considering writing a fanpost about the evil ‘I know a place’ commercial, but it doesn’t deserve it.

Even though it is midseason i’m sure the ‘I know a place’ commercial can still become stuck in your head with one simple reminder.

i’m proposing that we boycott comcast, until they stop playing that commercial, lets send those guys a message. I will be canceling my subscription and stealing my neighbors cable unless I receive some assurance I will not be hearing any ‘I know a place’ commercials next season.

Or maybe we could start a fund and buy up their advertising slots and start a ‘Blazers Edge: it won’t annoy you like ‘I know a place’ commercial.’ advertising campaign.

to whom ever incited that commercial, It doesn’t work, because have to keep the annoyance factor down until after you tell us the place, otherwise we will make a mad dash for the mute button and perform ‘Duck and cover’, therefore I know somewhere there is a place, but I have no idea where the place may be or what the place is called.

us loyal fans have been subjected to ‘I know a place’ for too many seasons, I plead to blazers staff to not subject us to ‘I know a place’ anymore, please don’t ruin the franchise.

only because you're omniscient

however, my eyes lit up when I saw this. Im still frustrated at not being able to confirm the lyrics- right or rife, maybe ripe? SMC refuses to answer my email requests for the lyrics.

Its not so much for me the lyrics anyways as it is the use of the worlds CHEESIEST actors, but especially the “I think that I’m in love” guy. So the next time those words get stuck in your cranium,
think about that guy at the door who will greet you, remember the neo-Sandy Duncan who delivers scrumpcious meals to your table, reflect on the card dealer with this phoniest smile you ever saw, (btw the card dealer is the one who says the unconfirmed “the games are hot and you’re right/rife/ripe for the winnings) and least of all, take a few moments and really think about that guy who thinks that he is in love with the place.

I think we’re going to be let down and see a new commercial from the SMC. Back in the day when I think it was United Airlines and the chubby guy for re-running PTB sponsor, they never played the commercial more then 2 seasons ever.

Would somebody get that spot on youtube Puh….lease!..............

I cant help it-- I think that I’m in love!!!

A couple of points

The “At the door there is a man who will greet you” guy…...looks like a male nurse with that bad haircut and the blue smock.

The word is “Ripe” ....book it!!

I am also almost as tired of the Wells Fargo spots too…....If I see that Asian couple (the woman pulls the couch (not coach) cover off one more time I think I will stick a knitting needle into your eye (not a typo).

Ripe it is truly

Bow4Meow would swear it isn’t ripe before, but it HAS to be as it is a word and it makes sense there.

Plus, like I told Bow4Meow before, I got plenty of Indians in my family and they say their stoic, closer to nature ways would NEVER say “rife”. They don’t believe in using the word to describe anything and it isn’t in their vocabulary.

They try to say the word and The Great Eagle Spirit cries. It is forbidden!

I remember Dave said the blonde doe-eyed waitress girl looks just like his wife, so he loves the commercial.

That commercial might get up there with “Merry Christmas, from Payless, merry Christmassssss” status in getting stuck in your head for decades. Only time will tell.

They just want a place they can call home and escape from the word ‘rife’. It has haunted them for far too long.

by contemnor on Jul 25, 2008 7:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

I remain unconvinced

Mortimer, arguably this is your weakest elaboration yet. Cant say much about the subject, but it means something to us anyways.

I do not concur with your notion that the word ripe makes sense in the context it is used. “The games are hot and you’re “ripe” for the winnings. Carrying the analogy out, if “you” are ripe for the winnings, it means the SMC is taking your money… which is usually the case, obviously. But why would they say “you” are ripe for the winnings. Ripe by definition means ready to harvest. If the SMC wanted to suggest that they are ripe for the winnings, would make sense as it suggests their machines are ready to be harvested of all that coin.

Now review the definition of “rife”- frequently or commonly occuring; and abundant and plentiful. If as I think it was a poor linguist who came up with the lyrics, inserted rife to insinuate that you are going to win win win and win lots. I cant believe the word rife is excluded from the lexicon of any indian culture, when in facts its only just another word in their forced adoption of the english language. Just because they may not be familiar with it doesnt make it sacrilidgeous.

Its rife, and it was a mistake for the tribe to hire an creative advertising agency rather then make it themselves. Its not like their is one actor in that commercial that actually represents anything of indian value.

The female dealer

Looks to be Native American, and since she is the one saying “ripe” (as in, the games, they’re ripe for the winning), and since we’ve established scientifically that no Native American ever would ever say “rife” because it is a sin against Indian-Jesus, the nice wholesome thick Native American Card Dealer Woman would never say rife.

The AP had a poll that was published in The Economist last month, saying that 99% of everyone in the world thought the commercial was saying “ripe”, and only one person polled thought it wasn’t so.

I hope we don’t resolve the issue though because it is fun to argue every six months, and because we both have deeply seeded opinions on this matter. I believe this is how Muslims and Jews started fighting.

For you this matter might seem funny every six moons or so, but for me its an obsession. Im going to begin demanding the truth from the SMC. Barring a grand jury, the truth will be known before the pre-season starts.

I need help though and make the following requests. 1> would somebody youtube the commercial. This allows me if necessary to create a fan-post and vote to determine the lyrics. 2> if somebody could ACTUALLY verify the lyrics either thru SMC or the ad agency that is responsible for starting this entire fiasco.

doesnt a few battle wounds give you a reason to tend to his needs

besides, just think of lamarcus doing this, or this, or this. now, its the smart use of elbows that i like for lma, NOT the lack of ball handling or ballence, and since he will be givin them, he will prolly get a few back. But he is becoming a pretty big guy and if he continues he will be one of the bigger guys in the nba. chika chika..oooh yaaah!(twix style)

Oh it will be good

Re the viagra commercials, yes they are ridiculously corny. I remember when that baseball player starred in the commercials. Along w/ those commercials being banned, any feminine products commercials need to leave NOW they are embarrasing to watch and no girl ever ever ever ever is jumping around in a white dress super excited and happy..anyone w/ a wife or girlfriend should be able to firmly attest to that.

Back to the LMA issue. I know he had marked improvement within the post this year. The way this guys is developing and the rate at which he is doing so is scary , for the other teams obviously. He always will have that sexy light touch w/ the mid range j’s and w/ a couple added post moves he could end up being a top 10 PF (please lets not start this debate again…LOL Yes Dheep im talking to you!) But in my opinion, his added bulk, intensity and overall meanness will have the greates effect on defense… Yippee!

That wouldn't be a bad move to definitely prevent somebody from scoring

(I’m gonna assume it wasn’t a sarcastic joke)

Two seasons ago Joel did this move waaaay too often and would get yanked by Nate everytime he did it. No play on the ball, just giving up and bear hugging the enemy to stop them from scoring. Completely awful.

He has redeemed himself since, and he needed to.

The one thing I can tell you about Miles is that, so long as he continues to perform well in workouts, he will surely receive a minimal offer from an NBA team to play next year. If he reinjures his knee, his new bosses won’t have to pay him; if for some reason they don’t like his act, they can afford to waive him. This week Miles began playing full-court basketball in Chicago under the supervision of athletic trainer Tim Grover. We’ll see what happens over the next two months.

You might like the album “Everything Went Black” by Black Flag. It is a nice compilation of their stuff through the years.

I think he sort of a joke

Um from what I remember…. Twee is kind of an old name for Indie Pop music. Indie in the early 80s was clashing the harder punk rock sound. And the music incorporated a lot of child-like elements to it, very harmonious, and the singers usually sing at a very boyish pitch. Since they were the foil to punk rock, the more extreme music, they made it a joke to describe their music with the same choice of words. Like saying “that band is twee as (some nonBE word)”. The term is kind of anachronism at this point. Not many modern bands fit the twee label, at least those who call themselves indie bands. When I think of twee (at least today), I think of bands like Architeture in Helsinki, Belle and Sebastian, The Shins, and to a lesser extent Jens Lekman.

"I was playing rock band with my wife and a four year old girl, after U of H got their booty handed to them in the Sugar Bowl.

ive never noticed that. ive always just thought that she has a bit of insight beyound her years and the confidence of youth to weild it unquestioningly. she is a girl and prolly only thinks from that position, so I could see how she might transmit an idea she is at the moment fond of that might fit the feminist mold. besides the feminist reminds the male that hes failed in his half of the bargain. its funny, ive always envisioned her as a short skirt long jacket type, (206 and 315 are hillarious) skinny, with glasses, and quietly confident.

I'm sorry but, the flat top

was in style back in 1990, not 1998. Derek Jeter still had one the last time I saw him. Even I had one back in the day. Also, I consider anybody with hair better than mine as having good hair. I’m “blacktino” but I’ve got some very nappy hair. True story, an African woman was braiding my hair one time when I was like 15, and she kept remarking on how nappy my hair was, and she ended up breaking her comb on my hair. And it was one of them big, thick combs. Your son’s lucky. Just please, please don’t give him the Jeter haircut. For his sake.

Ellis gets $67 million deal. Not bad.

It was announced yesterday that GS re-signed him. Now word is out that it’s a six year deal for the above mentioned amount. I would say he is worth it under current NBA conditions (IMHO most players are overpaid for what they really have to work compared with a lot of other sports, but that just OT). Talk about a nice raise from the ca. 770,000 he made last year for a player who is mainly good at driving to the basket, a poor outside shooter (ca. 25%) and not a great passer (his new role is “starting point guard”).

Also a good indicator what our young guys will be able to demand once their contracts are up for extensions.
