A (hypothetical) drawer full of junk (thoughts)

PrintIt is late, I have a cold I cant shake, and there is no junk drawer up yet.
I will get the junk rolling with some absolutely putrid garbage
I watched the movie clay pigeons with my girlfriend tonight. I think it is a very underrated film with an excellent performance by Vince Vaughn. Earlier in the afternoon we finished watching Fire in the Sky. That movie scared the junk out of me when I was a kid. Getting excited about watching olympic track cycling but the yags who run nbc cant be bothered to put in online yet. All I can say is that if Theo Bos were American no one would care about Michael Phelps. I dont know why but I can muster any enthusiasm for what he has done. I guess the terrorists have won again.
Now a silly poll

Who will win in table tennis?
Probably a Chinese, or maybe this guy who is arguably the best table tennis player outside of the motherland of table tennis.
He is a popstar in China having beaten some of their stars at home before, almost as big as one of the basketball heroes. He already managed to get Germany into the team finals against China (take that, Dirk). The finals will be on Monday.

thanks

I need to watch some table tennis online as it is totally sweet

Timo Boll
(the guy in the picture) kicks butt. Currently, he’s the best non-Chinese player (despite those who think Ryu Seung Min is better).
You want to see something great, go to youtube and search for “Kreanga”. Most incredible backhand you’ll ever see. Check it out here:
I know no few think table tennis is a REAL sport, but I’ve played it for years and, believe me, done right it is one heck of a game and one heck of a workout.
In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.
Anybody know why Fran Vazquez isn't on the Spanish roster? Amlmart1?
Orlando is still hoping to bring him over to play alongside Howard on PF. Is he injured, not that good after all, …
So far it looks like they wasted a #11 draft pick on him in 2005, since he didn’t want to leave Barcelona since then.
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."
I remember when he was coming up
that he was supposed to be a tough guy. The last I read from draftexpress is that he has regressed since he was drafted and has really fell of the radar.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
DraftExpress should update his profile
Worst case: Never showing up for work ;-)
I was just interested cause I saw fans of Orlando discuss “where the heck is Fran on that Spanish Olympics team? He was supposed to be a stud in Europe”. And his Wikipedia article still says they want to bring him over as early as this season, but that might be wishful thinking.
They are also talking about acquiring homeboy Bosh in 2010, which really would be a powerful frontcourt.

Could you imagine
how good the Magic would be if they would have grabbed Granger instead? They wouldnt have had to blow all that money on Lewis and maybe could have brought in a pg over 6’. Another example of a poor management group. I hear that they are once again combing the ranks of hockey front offices to look for their next GM

Dirk "the Jerk" Novi
is a seven footer though. Man! Nicki looks SOOOOOO young. He looks to be about 13 in that picture. Who’s the huge guy on Dirk’s right. He’s huge!
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

is one to watch
not the greatest summer league.
but as far as euro center projects go, he’s gotta be at the top of the list.

He's coordinated
But he runs like a goon, and slow too. I don’t think his body will be able to handle real NBA big man duties.
For his length and size, he’s really coordinated though.
Just doesn’t look like he’ll be able to run a court good enough to utilize his other skills (if he also gains any weight too, of course).
Mortimortimortimortimortimer
yeah he kind of has 2 left feet
and there were some summer league injury/eurosoftness concerns.
jury is way out.
his ceiling isn’t the highest but i wasn’t surprised to see him go where he went. and i won’t be surprised if he puts together a career. there are plenty of career plodders.
he showed nicely at this year’s hoop summit. he will be a fun one to track… fun to mock if he never “gets it”; fun to watch break the mold if he is the first worthwhile french center.
also he has a great voice.

Um excuse me
I dont log in for 24 hours and you start posting pics of Nic? WTF?!!!
On a serious note, doesnt Nic look like a 12 year old? Well he’s a cutie thats for sure. He also was most likely 17 almost 18 in that pic. :)

As punishment for their "fun-loving attitudes"
Spanish olympians must use scotch tape to pull at the corners of their eyes for the duration of the games.
It’s the only explanation that makes sense for the pics above.

OT: Have you guys seen the Individual Pursuit? It’s got to be the fakest looking sport in the world. People dress like they’re in an original Star Trek episode and they play on a roller derby rink.
"I grab every opportunity to tweak Timbo." - annthefan
umm
it is called a velodrome and not a roller derby rink
I cant really defend the skinsuits except to say they are might aero. Check out the keirin as it is much more exciting to the casual observer.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Really? How many velodrome's are in the world?
"I grab every opportunity to tweak Timbo." - annthefan
I dont know
there are ~15 in the US and a lot more in Europe where track racing is really big and a ton in Japan where Keirin racing is like dog racing.

Portland's got one

Bike races there are pretty fun to watch.

No way they have those things if I’ve never even heard of those things. How do they stay in business?

I was going to reply to someone in the Bayless/Rudy diary but realized I was changing the subject
If KP doesn’t trade Raef LaFrentz at the trade deadline, then I expect the roster to stay intact until the end of the season. I can only think of two exceptions:
1) We are making a serious run at the playoffs and KP makes a trade for a guy that fills a weakness on the roster. I have no idea what the weakness is at this time but KP and Nate will know if there needs to be an adjustment.
2) Bayless develops faster than I expect for a 19 year old ball hog rookie and Sergio gets traded like Green was traded last year. (I know a point guard has to go, but I don’t have a problem with Bayless not getting many minutes this year. I still think he’s the future starting point guard.)
What is the difference between a deep team and a team that has too much talent?
"I grab every opportunity to tweak Timbo." - annthefan
Very well possible
Not counting signing Petteri (unlikely at this point) or a minor role player, I could imagine just one scenario that has KP making a big move even before the new season starts: Indiana seems interested in extending Danny Granger now, not wanting to risk him becoming a free agent in 2009 (as restricted as he may be). If these talks start and seem to get along, and he is the guy the Blazers really really set their eyes on, he might make them an offer.
If that doesn’t happen, the trade deadline should be the next stop. Even if we are happy with our team as it stands and don’t get active ourselves, he will undoubtedly get some offers for the RLEC and / or a few of his players that he will listen to (and compare them to what he hopes to otherwise achieve in the summer).

Dutch Oven Cooking Question
We had a Dutch Oven in Oregon and used it all the time. We had a super jiggy recipe for chicken and dumplings that we found in the Register Guard around the turn of the millennium. We just got a mail order Dutch Oven from Target and we can’t find that recipe. Does anyone have a Dutch Oven chicken and dumpling recipe that includes condensed milk?

just mix tuna and hamburger helper together
throw in some flour… nobody will know the difference… oops almost forgot to tell you to add Spam

But she loves Dutch Oven cooking. I love Dutch Oven cuddling.
"I grab every opportunity to tweak Timbo." - annthefan
Actually Spam is pretty good if you slice it and fry it slightly crisp
My kids asked for it (until they discovered Burger King!)
Aldridge said. "We feel like we can beat any team. We feel like we can beat the Spurs, Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, whoever any night right now, and we'll still be here when those teams get old and their guys retire. We're going to be here for a long time."
what they dont tell you about SPAM
and all other similiar Danish offerings is that the meat is blown off the carcass with high pressure air hoses and squeejeed off the floor.
It does taste good though, especially when camping.

Asked his specialty in the kitchen, Oden paused and said, "Hamburger Helper and tuna fish."
