Trail Mix/Junk Drawer 09/15/08 - Blazers Fanfest

PrintTo all those of you fine BEdger's who think I know what I'm talking about, I do not. My roommate left me OLD PASSES from last years Fanfest on my kitchen table and I thought (turns out she found them when she was cleaning out her room) they were for this year but alas, they were not, so I gave all you fine people wrong information, please forgive me, of if you won't, I understand. (does ANYONE really know when the fanfest is!?!?!?)
I HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THE FANFEST is, when I said it was originally, oh who cares no one even reads this part of Trail Mix.
Really? Nobody has junk drawer this morning? Come on people! So what did you do this weekend? I got a little note from my roommate this morning reminding me that the Annual Blazer's Fan Fest (the best time to see the players for free) will be Friday October 3rd at 5pm at the Rose Garden. I hope to see you all there! In other news about my weekend. I wanted to go to the beach with friend Mary this weekend. Let's just say yesterday was an adventure. On the way to the beach we got stuck in this 2 hour long traffic jam, we just drove in circles looking for a side road till it got clear, but when we got to the spot we were climbing, neakamie mt., things went better and we hiked for a few hours till we got to that view you see in postcards looking over the crashing waves a thousand feet below. Then we walked down to short sands beach and watched some guys surf for an hour while the sun set in the background. Then on the way back there was this whole 1-1/2 traffic delay of fifteen miles of cars stopping and going, and there was NO ACCIDENT! Just a bunch of idiot driver's going slow. Then we almost ran out of gas cause of the stupid slow traffic and had to back track 10 miles to get more gas. Then when we finally got back into town we got some happy hour and played some darts so it all worked.
Anywho, Rec this!

You beat me by 10 minutes... Here's the open of my deleted Trail Mix...
Rather than starting half a day early and running and extra day long to get up to 50% of TiH Junk Drawer numbers, like other leading brands, I’ll start this one late and go for exclusivity… Only the HOT people are posting in this one, baby! That’s why the reply numbers resemble a fanshot of an old Shaquille O’Neil rap video…
So let’s start with football… How ‘bout them Seahawks? You think the Blazers have injury problems, the Hawks are missing their wideouts No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 to injury. Then yesterday they lost players 5 (Seneca Wallace in pre-game warmup) and 6 to injury. That’s akin to the Blazers losing ALL their guards — every single damned one of them — to injury simultaneously. So feel lucky that the Blazers’ injury issues are so (relatively) minor.
TiH reminded me that I need to mention politics in an open, just because. The Smith-Merkley race is polling about even. There is some indication that this clean and positive campaign might take a turn towards negativity in the near future. I am concerned.
I am also concerned about the stock market. Not too concerned, because I wouldn’t put five cents into the stock market. But when that puppy blows up, it will have negative consequences for us all. Today might be the day. It’s gonna be an ugly day in any event. Stay tuned.
That’s enough for now. Say something nice about Sam Bowie and help your karma.
xoxox,
timbo
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
the Smith-Merkley race is not clean have you seen those ad's?
He wanted to vote to cut benfit’s to soldiers. He up’d his own pay.
Sam Bowie loves his family. And played a good amount of years more then Darius ever will.
The stock market is for people with money, and money they can afford to loose. I can barely afford my two mortgage’s.
Football? How bout them Ducks!? Getting it done in double overtime! Now that was a game. But Pro Football? I want another Pro Sports Team. I will wait to fall in love Futbol when we get an MLS team.
Sorry for beating you by ten minutes, but this IS my first Junk Drawer, and I do have alot of Junk, ahem, in my drawers. How am I doin?

How ABOUT them Ducks.
Just about made me crap my pants. Roper is a loss, but it will also be nice to see what we can get out of the promising underclassmen. Also, we showed resilience in the face of some serious adversity. go ducks.

Yeah I was biting my ingrown toe nails to pieces. (picture that) Roper, Get well soon, but I am forward to seeing Young Buc and Company and that one running back who got it into the endzone in 2 ot next game. One day I hope to graduate from Oregon, being 26 it looks harder each year, Business baby, I need Andy Inc.

I wondered why the Niners were able to beat them
but I’ll take the win anyway.
I shoot layups like they're jumpers.
Haha! screw the seahawks, thats what I say.
But my Bills are looking quite impressive! Things are looking up.

No way was I gonna do the Junk drawer today
this one has the potential to be an alltime low (less than the Mendoza line of 35) Now I could have brought up politics like Timbo…or stated that Darius is getting a raw deal to drive up the stats….but that would be cheating.
Styx -"I'm schizophrenic....and so am I"
Trail Mix is all about quantity v. quality...
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
.............................. just like my posts.
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
And by the way, how come "Trail Mix" has beat "Junk Drawer" in user polling TWICE...
…………………………. yet everybody continues to use the old name?
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
so was it supposed to be Trail Mix? mmmmm I'm hungry
and why you gotta hate and say this is gonna get the least posts ever? :( Andy sad

You were on the Sunset Hwy?
We didn’t have any problem getting through there this summer on vacation. The worst Oregon traffic jam I’ve ever had the displeasure of crawling through was on I-5 between Eugene and the turnoff to Corvallis. It took two hours to cover, what is that, 40 miles? California is a lot more famous for traffic, but at least most of the freeways there are six or eight or ten lanes.
I shoot layups like they're jumpers.
Seattle gets really nasty during commute time...
……………………………… which is getting to be pretty close to 24/7.
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
.................................. Oregon traffic is for babies.

Yeah that's true, Seattle is a joke (born there)
We are just getting some of those awesome Cali driver’s up here, what?! Rain!?!?! GO REALLY REALLY SLOW!?!?! What!?! Snow!?!? Quick everybody wreck!

Cali drivers go slow?
My experience is that the worse the weather, the faster they drive, I guess so they can get home sooner. They’re probably driving slowly up there because they can’t figure out where they are because of all the trees and shrubbery.
I shoot layups like they're jumpers.
"Fast" drivers cause many traffic jams
Or rather, drivers who follow closely, which is usually correlated with speed.
I have just noticed alot more cars on the road in years past
I vote everyone must take a bicycle to work once a week, except me of course, I am exempt to drive all alone on the freeway

coincidence.... bad drivers
I just got tailgated out of town on the HWY and even though I was doing 57 the guy on my @$$ continued to do so, then with no safety margin jammed it to pass me into oncoming traffic, I had to slow down and veer right to give him adequate life-saving calamity margin…. He gave me the bird as I held out my hand in a WTF motion. Needless to say, he didnt consider the 5 cars in front of me holding him back no less. So I ended up riding his tail into town. When I turned off, the guy lifted his hand once more toss me the Im #1 sign.
The more I try to accept things the more I fall susceptible to road rage.

What calmed me down
was reading that there are firearms in 20% of the cars on the road.
I shoot layups like they're jumpers.
only cops and cowards carry a firearm to defend themselves
I was more then willing to step out of the vehicle to confront this punk…. ya know, why is so many people when they’re wrong go on the attack?

Yeah I cut a guy off last night (what!?!?) you want me to wait in line!?!?
He wasn’t too happy either, he made some reference to a flying bird, but alas, who are we to display heavenly creatures by raising a single finger? Such act’s should be reserved for Tom, and all those fine driver’s in hawaii. (most on some type of upper from what I hear through the grapevine, and by that I mean have seen first person on my recent trip to the big island)

It's been more than 20 years since I flipped somebody off
or swore at them out the window. I figured it brought me down to the level of the idiot I was dealing with.
Besides, a smile is much more effective. When someone gives you the finger, smile at them. It drives them nuts.
hakkaa päälle !
I yelled "f you" out my window at a guy yesterday
He was behind me in the right lane and we both moved to left lane at the same time, and he honked at me. I flip people off all the time and call them way dirty words.
A huge pet peeve of mine are people who pull out in front of me. On the street or freeway, say you’re the last car in a group of three with no one in front of the group or behind, and there is enough space for a car to fit between you and the car in front of you. Locals always pull into that vacant spot going about 20 MPH under the speed limit, instead of waiting 5 seconds for you to pass. I pull up next to those people and yell, "You couldn’t wait 5 {expletive deleted} seconds for me to get past you stupid {expletive deleted} {expletive deleted}? Then I flip them off and tell them to go do something with some more colorful expletives. When my wife is driving, she always rolls up my window, before I can shout it out. I love flipping off old people.
"Sometimes GSoM can be the WWE of basketball!" - Tony.psd
Yeah on the way to work today I met a great driver
Traffic is stop and go, so I choose to just travel a slower speed and thus limit my stopping, this arsehole speed’s up from behind me whips in the other lane real quick in the little gap, passes me like gas and then cuts right back in front of me, I (literally) applauded his heroicly stupid move.

I love those guys
The folks who pass 3 cars and almost kill everyone so they can be 3 cars ahead of everyone in bumper to bumper traffic. Another neat thing here is the take the exit on the right but do it from the 3rd lane on the left with no blinker. They merge onto the freeway that way too.

My pet peeve
is people who turn into raving, finger-waving, foaming-at-the-mouth lunatics just because I rear-end them at 120 mph. Losers.
I shoot layups like they're jumpers.
Yeah or those silly lawyers whose 10,000$ japense tree I crash into
While doing 50 down a 20mph zone, while his kids could of have been playing out there! Let’s just say that’s why I paid $400 per month insurance for the last, oh 5 or so years. Now, I’ drive low, and slow. Just like all my friends. (Dd na na da na na na na, Na na na na na, hey!)

Those people and people who drive slow in the left hand lane

At a minimum I should be allowed to order on of those Cadillac Gage Mk1 1 meter turrets. They come with a wide variety of options. I’d choose the one with the high intensity search beam, the M2 HB and the Mk19 40 mm auto grenade launcher.

Here's another driving faux-paus that really gets my goat
When you approach an intersection and you get to the stop line at the same time, so you waive the guy on your right to proceed and he waives back at you like ..No No, you go first.
GRRRR!!!!!

What causes traffic jams
besides lots of traffic, are drivers who slow down to gaze at something (accident, police ticketing stop, etc) and drivers who drive slow in the left lane.
Traffic is all about maintaining flow.

In the rain, California drivers are THE WORST.
They either:
1) Drive really, really slowly like they are in a blizzard and can’t see the road in front of them (this is actually the better of the two), or
2) drive normally, as if there were no rain, at 25 mph over the speed limit, causing extreme danger.
I was driving out of downtown from a show last spring and it started pouring rain on the freeway. In the 30 minutes on the freeway, we saw DOZENS of cars in accidents, and we actually saw cars get into 2 separate accidents. People in Cali suck. (unless they are originally from Oregon).

Thank you.
Not to start a worst-driver flame-fest here, but I’ve always believed that Washington drivers are the worst in the world, going back to my days growing-up in the Portland area. I even taught my son that when I was teaching him how to drive. “Son,” I said, "if you see a car with a Washington license plate, assume that he is likely to do literally anything behind the wheel: cross three lanes of freeway traffic to make an exit he is passing, stop in the middle of the road, blind you with his high beams because he’s too ignorant to realize they’re on or that they bother oncoming drivers, drive the wrong way down a one-way street, and so on.
I shoot layups like they're jumpers.
Try driving in Hawaii
The left turn signal is a shaka or sometimes you can see them looking in their rear view mirror, the right turn signal is just the brake lights. You can’t really drive that fast here so everyone tailgates and the fast lane is in the middle. Old people drive in the left hand lane for some reason at about 10 miles under the speed limit and 20 miles under the speed of everyone else, and no one wants to be in the right because of merging traffic.

When the professional sports teams from Denver and Phoenix play each other there are four different locational matchups.
NBA – Denver vs. Phoenix
NFL – Denver vs. Arizona
MLB – Colorado vs. Arizona
NHL – Colorado vs Phoenix
Miami has two teams as Miami and two as Florida.
Indianapolis has one as Indiana and one as Indianapolis
Nashville has one as Tennessee and one as Nashville.
This kind of bugs me a little but not enough to be a pet peeve.
None of those are weirder than
the Golden State Warriors. What’s with that? Are they the only team in California?
I shoot layups like they're jumpers.
They used to be the San Francisco Warriors, but they play in Oakland...
……………………………………………… There ya go.
The unis used to say “THE CITY” on them, as you probably know. This would have to be changed to “THE OTHER CITY.”
Oakland gets no respect.

Then again, it's not like the "New York Giants" and "New York Jets," both of whom play in New Jersey...
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
I knew but I forgot.
I’ve also forgotten why they stopped playing at the Cow Palace. Too much competition from other events? Was the Coliseum in Oakland larger and newer?

The Patriots were known as the Boston Patriots when I was young but then they moved out to Foxboro. That was back in the day when teams somewhat honored where they come from. The most heinous example I reckon is the Los Angeles Angels of Aniheim or whatever they are today.

The most heinous example is the LA Flakers!

Merkley v. Smith hasn't been clean for weeks.
They’re trying to get smiths ads pulled because he missed the requisite face time requirement by 1 1/2 seconds.
Also, the whole “I lobby for tax hikes every night” thing has been airing for at least a month.
I was using my sarcasm font, of course...
……………………… Smith went negative against Merkley and Novick simultaneously BEFORE THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, as you will recall.
Now the polling shows blood in the water and every independent group in the country is pouring cash for negative ads into the race, to help us decide whether to elect either the profligate, senior-hating rapist-enabler or the war mongering, Bush-loving golf club collector…

x-post from the PPMB...
Indica IPA, made by Lost Coast Brewery, Eureka, CA. First time I’ve had it. I’m an IPA fan…
Redder and cloudier than most IPAs. Nice creamy head. Strong aroma of FRESH hops, as in what homebrew smells like in a GOOD way, but without any homebrewy taste. Flavorful and crushing the dial on the hop-o-meter, which is what IPA is all about… Delicious! * * * * *

No Pity Pale Ale and Nebraska Bitter - My Two Favorites Right Now (is everything)
Although the Timber’s Soccer season is over there has never been a better time to stop into the Soccer Club’s favorite watering hole (The Bullpen, across the street to the East from the Fence at PGE Park) for a pint of their signature beverage. The Hop’s jump up through your nostil’s and our your ear all in the same satisfying sip. Served just above freezing in a frosty glass it’s the perfect way to pass the time between our amatuer and professiol sports seasons.
Second on my list of MUST TRY on t the Portland Adult Beverage Delights Tour is
McMenamins – Nebraska Bitter
This tasty treat comes named directly from my old favorite suds shop, the Fulton Pub, a McMenamins of history (aren’t they all) situated on Nebraska St in John’s Landing. The perfect blend of barley and malt it’s just light enough to drink after you have been drinking and eating all day. Or perhaps right before you start up a trek up Nekamie Mt. They sell Mason Jar’s for us drunken hikers to enjoy before we set out to exercise.
Anyway, Thought I would one up ol Timbo there and post a review on some local fare.
Take that!

Mmmmm...McMenamins!
I happen to be a big fan of the darks myself. Terminator, Porter, and the rare Ultimate Treat – Russian Imperial Stout! The RIS is rare because they only brew a few kegs at a time and then it must be aged 6 to 12 months!
It is worth the wait – the flavor and drinkability is second to none, and it runs around 9% if you know what I mean.
Driving is a risk after 1, and after 2 call a cab and have a third, then hang it up folks – unless you enjoy hangovers.
Russian Imperial Stout – the elixir of the beer gods!

Yeah, I think McMenamins does really well
with some of their “non-standard” beers. They do some really great special IPA’s. And, I too, love the imperial stout when they have it. I always worry when I go into a McM’s, that they won’t have any good special beers and I’ll be stuck with the hammerhead, or terminator or something else unimpressive.
I suppose I should just view that as part of the adventure of going to McM’s.

Btw, any general suggestions what I should take (fall/spring)? I think I’m going with positive psychology (always helps to get happier and overcome sport team problems and personal problems) and maybe an advanced finance course that’s applicable to my real job. Then I can also advise laid off investment bankers how to finance their next venture on a dime and how to stay happy while their stock options are worthless and our banking system is broken ;-)

2.- If a former player you love is suffering terrible pain and wants euthanasia…
3.- If a new Blazer player comes from a country where poligamy is admitted …
4.- If a Blazer player changes his sex, might “she” continue playing in the NBA or should go to the WNBA.

I would not mind hearing this story
If you get a moment and is a bored boy go ahead and tell me it either here or in my electronic mail.
I don’t got anything that cool/funny, but in Estonia through a series of events (events not dissimilar from the movie Hostel)I and some friends I made that night ended up in an underage brothel. I was slow on the uptake (was like 4am or so), realized that everyone looked 13 years old and tried to leave.
The Russian bouncers said I had to buy a girl and pay her or pay them to leave. I didn’t wanna do neither, and actually ended up fighting my way out for what probably (I later assumed) woulda’ been equal to about 20 bucks U.S.
I fought my way outside, pushed over the last bouncer and found my “friends” outside as well arguing with other bouncers. One was an Irish gymnast and another an ex-Marine from LA. The Marine was arguing with the guy because he wanted a girl for free and the Irish dude just looked pissed.
They saw the problem I was having and the first bouncer I pushed over ran out with a gun and we all took off. A cab parked across the street started up and followed us, along with 2 of the bouncers.
I always hoped that if I got in such a situation that my athletic asthma wouldn’t kick in (the same Outlaw has), but alas, that didn’t quite work out.
Still got away, but we had to run a long time and it sucked. There’s more to it, I’m leaving out a lot of details, but I think it’s a fun story in retrospect. Cobblestone streets are hard to sprint on, so I hope Oden doesn’t try that this summer as well.
And if it makes me sound tougher than I am, that is a mistake. Russian bouncers are easy to push over!
I went to Tijuana when I turned 21 with some actual friends. It was fun, but they were too paranoid for their own good. There seems like lots of places to get in trouble there. I think we coulda’ had a lotta fun, but they kept imagining evil Mexicans just waiting in the shadows to stab us. So, we were only there for a day.
Mortimer
PS: I swear my ending up at the underage brothel isn’t as bad as it sounds, plus keep in mind I tried to leave as soon as I realized it. It was just like a nightclub, not some dungeon in an abandoned warehouse. YOU WOULDA’ BEEN TRICKED TOO DAMMIT.
Uh-HUH. I see...

My story is long and involves a lot of alcohol and being alone and headed back to my ship in Tijuana at daybreak, then stumbling upon two friends headed to a bar with two Mexican guys. About 90% of it is unfit for this place. I can hook you up though.

Thank you for making that clear, Ann
It’s hard to tell sometimes what a response is in response to when the comments stack-up.
I’m having a hard time remembering exactly where we put-in, but I think it was about a 20-minute drive west of Medford. That water was so flat you could have tiled it. The only white I saw was the clouds. Gondolas were passing us.

That explains it. You weren't on the wild and scenic part of the river.
There are lots of class 2’s and 3’s and Rainie Falls is a class 5 or 6 depending on the time of year. Most professional rafters either portage around it or make their “dudes” hike it while they take the rafts through. It’s a very beautiful river.

Sadly, no, she took off after a few days there and we haven't been able to find her.
I hope she’s not trying to find her way home. She’s 12 years old and 40 or 50 miles is a long way to travel for a kitty. Thanks for asking, Bowsey. All the neighbors were alerted and we’ve been checking out the local humane society websites. We’ve gone down and just sat quietly with all her favorite treats in the area where we think she is. Of course we feel guilty. It’s tough.

Aw nuts. Ann, I'm sorry to hear that.
It sounded like the ideal place for her. I can’t believe I’m thinking about a cat I’ve never met, belonging to a person I’ve never met, but that’s BE for you. I’m sending positive thoughts your way.

I know how tough it must be for you. Have faith. You can never actually ever be separated from those who matter to you. Worse comes to worse, you scratch her head next lifetime.
I joke and step out of line alot but when it comes to actual emotions I feel em.
I hope you let me know in a current thread if she show’s up. Til then know she’s ok. Cats are smart, and pick up things from their slaves (commonly mistaken as owners) and if she learned anything from you she’ll be fine.

Not sure how a weekend on the Rogue fails to compare with the excitement of your local over-chlorinated toilet. Probably gas expensive but what otherwise could detract you from being one with God’s country?

Hmmm. I hated jet boats on the Rogue. The wild and scenic part of it is not
really wide enough to accommodate rafters/kayakers and jet boaters at the same time. It’s been more than 15 years since I’ve been on the Rogue. The jet boaters may have become more neighborly since then. I was always afraid that an inner tuber might get washed away! I have to admit I took a jet boat trip down Hell’s Canyon on the Snake a couple of years ago and it was FUN.

I will ask around, but I do sales, speaking of which, the mother of one of my co-workers customer’s was just in and she is a grandma nannying her grandkids, one of them comes in yelling “She threw a cup of water on me!?!” . Who did!?, the Grandma asked. Her! The medium sized girl pointed to the little 3 year old girl in a pink dress. “Well here’s what Grandman’s gonna do”. The customer then proceeds to fill a glass with icey water, walk outside, and throw it in the little girls face. I laughed so hard I ruptured my spleen. You don’t happen to be a Dr. do you Joe?

Man goes to the doctor with his wife
Doctor examines him, then tells the man to wait in the lobby while he talks to the wife.
Doc tells the wife, “Your husband is very sick.”
Wife replies, “What should I do?”
“Listen carefully. He cannot stand the slighest shock. Whatever he wants, you must give him immediately. TV, food, booze, sex, whatever he asks for, or he will die. Do you understand?”
“Yes doctor.”
Wife rejoins her husband and they are driving home. Husband says, “What did the doc say?”
Wife replies, “He said you’re going to die.”

a hick and his buddy walk into the bar. Guess a number for free sex the bartender says. Wow the hick says, 5, he replies! Wrong the bartender says, thanks for playing.

I've got a hot tip
This is what you need to do. Take your $20 and get some take-out. While eating your take-out write a book about investing. Be sure to fill it with lots of charts and graphs. The thesis of your book should be that passively managed index funds are superior to actively managed mutual funds. Sell this book online using a print on demand publishing company. Then watch the money roll in.

What's the best and most economical way to watch the blazers?
I’m thinking about getting cable just to see the blazers on Comcast SportsnetNW. Switching my phone and DSL over at the same time seems the most economical. The bundle is about $110/mo. Is there a better way? Cheaper way? NBATV or League Pass or whatever? Pirate satellite? How does watching the game on the computer compare? I actually don’t want the other 70 channels that I’ll get. I hope to get some other things done this winter too.

As the owner of a babyfied pit bull
I’d like to point out that it was a rottweiler, not a pit bull that disfigured the man in the story. The end sentence of the section (“If you have been injured, attacked, or disfigured as the result of a rottweiler or pit bull attack…”) is misleading because it is the only mention of pit bulls.
The only dog to ever “attack” me was a rottweiler, coincidentally. I was spending the summer in Tacoma with friends when I was nine, and I was petting their rottweiler on their back porch. I stopped petting the dog and looked away, and after a few seconds it barked, bit my face (less than half an inch from my eyeball) and ran away. The family refused to believe I did nothing wrong to the dog, and for the rest of the summer they’d say creepy things like “You know, dogs NEVER forget people that wrong them…” It was a very comfortable atmosphere. That was the only time the dog ever showed any signs of aggression, which was strange. She was good people. An isolated psychotic outburst I guess.
"I think JamesOn is a real smart lil cutie pie." -annthefan, 8/22/2008
Salaam.
Pits are far from mean dogs
I got a pit mix, and she’s a gentle to humans as can be.
ANY dog can become vicious if the owners make them that way.
My boston terrier I had as a young man bit my lips off, and it was just a isolated outburst caused by me trying to kiss the top of his head goodnight when I was 17. It scared him, he snapped, and split my top lip open and made the bottom dangle.
He was a good dog though. It ‘twas my fault, which is normally the case when a dog goes nuts (but not always, because I believe your story). Either from provoking, or just raising the dog to be mean, it is almost never just genetically the dog’s fault.
Hell, my ma’s teacup maltese is the most vicious beast I’ve ever met. If it was bigger than your hand, it would murder you. Mercury is protective of me and her momma (my fiancee is the one who actually rescued her before we met), but is the friendliest dog in the world to everyone she meets, even though when I take her for walks she scares a lot of people just by how she looks (and I don’t even think she looks particularly “pit bull-ish”. Getting into apartments that ban pit bulls, we’ve been able to pass her off as a weimereiner mix).
People are dumb about pit bulls.
Mercury can be wierd around other dogs, but always centered around just playing too rough— though she doesn’t seem to take too kindly to them, and especially doesn’t want them close to me. But, I’m sure she just had bad experiences with other dogs before she was rescued, and when I got her used to my siblings’ dogs in Portland she was just fine.
She’s just a good puppy full of love and thoughts of revenge towards those who wronged her!

We have a pit mix female in our hood
Who is sweet and smart but her son is a raised in a loving enviroment loser.I once called him off beating up on another dog and he started coming at me growling at which point I picked up a shovel and said come on mutt but he declined.Not just me,everyone but his owner thinks he is a violent loser. having said that most pits are cool

If that dog is mean to other dogs
And attacking them even, the owner really should keep him in their own yard, or whatever they gotta do to prevent them from getting out.
While I think pit’s are very misunderstood, some dogs can be mean, and if a dog is that aggressive it really has to be on the owner to take care of the problem.
Not “take care of it”, but, you know, make sure the dog doesn’t eat anyone.

I have a similar story
I was sitting Native American style with my friend’s rottweiler had his head in my lap, and I asked my friend if the dog ever bit anyone. My friend sad the dog never bit anyone so I said, “Awe, I’m going to give him a kiss then.” As I went in to kiss him he bit me on the jaw. I had a hole in each cheek and two under my chin. Each mark on my cheek turned into a pimple.
That time I figured I had it coming for invading his space. Months later, I was standing behind me girlfriend at their house on the back porch and had my hand in a fist and put it on top of my girlfriend’s head. The dog was watching me and charged me from across the porch and bit me on the forearm. I guess he thought I was roughing up my lady friend.

That's funny
Rott’s are good for protecting people!
A friend I had in grade school had a rott, and it was very protective over his mom. If you pretended to attack the mom, the rott would get real angry and growl and if you didn’t stop he would make you.
The rott liked me a lot since all puppies love me; with that dog though it wasn’t hard since it seemed like that family didn’t pet him very much. Just petting a dog and maybe a treat or two makes ’em fall in love with ya real fast like!

criss cross applesauce
is what they are calling sitting “indian style” in the finest kindergartens these days.
Don’t know where the applesauce is supposed to come in.
The urban dictionary has an alternate meaning, but it doesn’t really make any sense.
All this time I thought sitting "indian style" had to do with yoga
You know, a modification of padmansa (lotus) pose. It never occurred to me that it might refer to Inuit, Tlingit, Miwok, Potawami, Seminole, etc. etc. etc.
I've never been bitten by a dog.
Unless if you count how my right forearm was my lab’s favorite chew toy when we wrestled.
I’ve never met a dog I’ve been afraid of. For some reason, moms, dogs and kids always seem to like me.
hakkaa päälle !
I've always been that way too
I think that dog liked me even though he bit me twice. He needed counseling.

I think he makes some reasonable points about the Blazers.
Doesn’t mean he’s right. For example, the part about playing .400 ball for most of the season, exempting the streak and how the team should have been 38 – 44. Personally, I think that’s the result of good coaching. The difference Nate makes.
And while he may very well be correct in forecasting the impact of Bayless and Fernandez, he pretty much glosses over the impact of Oden. Forget the first two guys. The reason Portland should make the playoffs this year is Greg Oden. He should account for our third consectutive double digit improvement in wins all by himself.

Hey everyone I need your help! I am needing to buy a new Digital Camera and dont know where to go?
Now , I suppose I could go to bestbuy, bat my eyelashes (they are long) and hope I can charm my way into a good deal. But, I have a feeling that will only get me the most aggressive used car salesman shift leader who will try to convince me to buy an “in store warranty” for like 1/4 of the cost of the camera therfor voiding any discount I would have worked so hard for. Then I would probably call him out on his BS and he would get angry and not offer me any kind of deal and then I would leave and not buy anything.
So I guess at this point I just want to know, what kind of camera do you have or what brand is the best?
I am looking to pay around 160.00 but no more than 200. 00. I think I want an 8.0+ megapixel b/c for right now the 10 + ers are wayy too expensive.
Advice?

Check out cnet.com for reviews and ratings and advice
All else being equal I’d go with Canon, but under $200 I’d go for a name brand that has the features you want. Just don’t fall in love with megapixels. You can get great photos with 3 MP and bad ones with 6 MP. Anti-shake is a great feature to have. Optical zoom, not digital, and… check out cnet.com.

I have had good luck with Kodak
I currently have a Kodak with 10x optical zoom (Like Miled says below, digital zoom is nothing…ignore it) and 6.1 megapixels. The software is easy to use and it takes good pics. The current version is right in that ballpark price wise

I used to be a Used Car Salesman, Ahem, I mean Electronics salesman too, and you need someone who can talk to salespeople like this, “ok, I came in looking at the camera on ad, but if you want to sell me this more expensive Canon and throw in the free warranty I would be happy to recommend you to my elderly grandmother, she needs a new cassette tape”.
Buy a Canon. That’s All you need to know. My brother is a photog and has been using the little pocket Elph thing for years, it takes awesome shots, like photo’s of little kids flipping the bird.
