7/28: Junk goes in this box

“It’s my junk in a box…” (singing to the old Timberlake skit)

The FanShot was broken for me.

In the Netherlands almost no one has a clothes drying machine. They hang their clothes on the line to dry. Even folks who live in apartment buildings. They use their porches to dry their clothes. And Holland is a very rainy country.

That would reduce static electricity which might make your clothes less attractive to lint. (Not fabric dryer sheets as they can cause buildup in the dryer.) And as S323 said, make sure you aren’t adding lint by leaving things in your pockets.

The instruction manual that came with the drier said it should be done by a “qualified person” every two or three years. I figured what the heck—it’s no longer under warranty, I’m handy with tools, and there are lots of pictures in the manual. (Definitely try simpler suggestions first, though.)

I think it would be a draw. Since all four guys are so soft, each punch would just get stuck in the soft doughy mess and they would all be stuck together.

The Lopez’s are part Cuban so they are like a one-armed Tony Montana. The Gasol brothers are Spainish so they are like Ferdinand the Bull. So the question becomes “Who would win in a fight between a one- armed Tony Montana and Ferdinand the Bull?” Tony would just shoot the bull in the head, therefore the Lopez twins carry the day.

Egghead Stanford kids vs. Soft Euros. Tough one. Amlmart has said that Marc is not soft the way Pau is and the Lopez twins are kinda dorky (they like comic books just like Greg Oden).

I’ll go with the Lopez twins because Robin’s mop is cooler than Marc’s beard.

in what will most certainly devolve into a slap fight.

I still have Blazer news to read…....

Yay!!

we can keep PK!

Is is The Brandon Roy Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too?

I was about to post a fanpost about this.

I didn’t hear about Gavin taking it over. I’m glad the plan is to keep a local morning sports talk show. I didn’t mind K and K so much, in fact I even didn’t mind the fact that Kenny sounded a little amateurish.

I wonder what the deal was..hmm.

scolding young rookies for spending all their cash thinking they had more checks coming only to find out they were broke. That’s an old story though, may have changed.

would have expanded new meaning?

or will you be feeling your way

The rest of what Channing had to say was amusing too—not all of it was included in the TrueHoop link. Here’s a link to Chan’s blog entry.

I thought Walsh might be a step up from Isaiah, but I guess not. He just got rid of one of the good guys. Not a great player, but one of the two guys on the team who works hard and comes to play every night (David Lee being the other). I would think that Balkman and Lee would be the centerpieces of any Knick turnaround.

How difficult is this? Keep the cheap players who play hard, get rid of the malcontents. If you have to package the good guys with the bad to get the bad out of town, do what you need to do. Spend a couple of years whittling the team down until you’re fielding a crappy team of cheap, young players. Then work from the bottom up. Don’t give the few good guys away for nothing!

this is the summer to get good players at cut rate prices. I have always liked Balkman’s game and was hoping against hope that he would one day be a blazer. I wonder if they are trying to make room for Gallinari?

under the title “Methane is a greenhouse gas too”

We need to have Dave put a permanent link to it :-) Perhaps it could be used by those issuing credentials to bloggers…

Going to rec your post as this really shouldn’t be missed by anyone with a sense of humor slightly above that of your average 13 yr old boy…

link?

“Own-basket“

“Airball”

Oh yeah, it’s nice when your highlight videos have titles like “Back when Kwame sucked less” and “Where unamazing happens” ;-)
I think he is not completely horrible, just that the enormously high expectations and his small hands killed his potential.

And no, it’s not a joke that teams still want him. Here is the link.

I wonder if Okafor can command more elsewhere, and if Charlotte is willing to do a sign and trade for him if he doesn’t accept 10 million per year (no, not with us).

Also Deng is apparently thinking about taking just the one year qualifying offer in order to become an unrestricted free agent next season. If that happens, we have another small forward acquisition option.

but how come you said on Blog A Bull that you were one of only a “few” Blazers fans that hate the term “Pritch-slap”? There was a fanpost about how we all pretty much hate it that was in the top 5 for a while some time back. Nobody has used it (other than facetiously, and that was only once or twice as far as I can remember) since then. I have never heard that term outside of this or other sb nation blogs. I definitely would not say that most fans like it, and you saying that only seems to confirm their notions that Portland fans are corny and obnoxious. Some are, but there are fans of all teams that are corny and obnoxious. Don’t get me wrong, and like I said I don’t mean any offense. I understand your desire to separate yourself from that term, as I wish to myself, but what you said wasn’t really true.
