Junk Drawer -- September 3rd, 2008

Ok, so it's that time again--Junk Drawer time. Speaking of junk drawer, I cleaned out my junk drawers (yes, plural) this weekend and found $62 dollars in U.S. currency! Ok, so that's only enough to buy a couple gallons of gas, but still...I was happy.

Speaking of which, saw this the other day...thought it was interesting. Basically it compares a gallon of gas to how much a gallon of other random stuff costs. Included in the list:

  • Root Beer -- $5.33 per gallon
  • Ketchup -- $8 per gallon
  • Hydrogen Peroxide -- $10.32 per gallon
  • Paint -- $24.98 per gallon
  • NyQuil -- $93 per gallon
  • White Out -- $738 per gallon
  • Chanel Nail Polish -- $5760 per gallon

So....thank goodness we don't run our rigs on Nyquil...I wouldn't mind running them on milk though. But anyway....enough of that. This is a Blazers blog.

Did you get a load of "First Look At Rudy in Red" by you'vegottomakeyourfreethrows? Dude, Rudy is looking good. And he knows it. All of them are posted over at Casey's blog, but my personal favorite was this one:

Today I sent my 5-year old daughter off to kindergarten. Big step for a little girl.

I'm done hating on Blazer's Edge

There is already enough of it on the internet. I’d say I just wish the season would start but I’m not looking forward to the “Fire Nate” diaries either.

I can't freakin wait to send my kid to school! He just turned 2 and holy balls he's showing it.

I thought, “Oh, he’s such a little angel, we wont have to deal with the terrible 2’s.” Man was I wrong.

No

I stressed out, though – I was worried she wouldn’t get on the bus. However, she came home last night and said “Thank you for sending me to kindergarten!!!”

On the sucky side for her, when I picked her up from the bus stop, she got her first beesting. :-(

As a follow-up...

We got a phone call from her teacher tonight – she said that our daughter is a pleasure and is a good listener! That’s my girl!

She’s new to the school but from what I’ve heard from other parents in the neighborhood, a definite improvement over the prior kindergarten teacher.

Noooooooooooooooooo

You can’t disappear!

I doubt Trout will get traded anytime soon, no matter what the trade rumors suggest.

Your name is cool though, so no matter what ya gotta keep it! You can still love Outlaw AND the Blazers, since you do it now already! At worst, the name will be a time capsule to a simpler time when potential was enough to win our love, and at best it shows how right you were in making your identity aligned with a young, hyper-athletic raw high schooler who showed that patience pays off.

So please don’t worry, you gotta stick around no matter what. The name is awesome, and Travis will still be all that you love.

Would you retire the name if HE retired? Course not! I even think Outlaw would be hurt a bit if you gave up your name simply if he wasn’t a Blazer, even if he didn’t know it. I ain’t gonna lose any love for Trout if he ain’t a Blazer, but like I said, I don’t think it’s likely we’ll lose him anytime soon.

He’s still improving and is VERY cheap. Yeah, his value is great and he’s very tradeable, but that’s more the reason why we keep hearing him in trade rumors and not necessarily reasons why we would trade him. He has big holes in his game, but it’s not like he has refused to keep improving and work on those things.

Outlaw is still on his way up, so I doubt we move him unless it’s a no-brainer that even the most die-hard Outlaw supporter would agree with.

Mort I freakin love you man. You are my hero.

Regardless of circumstances, I am going to wear my Outlaw Jersey to all the Blazer games I go to this year, and my cat will forever be an Outlaw spawn.

If he does get traded, I don’t know how I will react, and honestly I’ll be looking to Ann, she is the biggest voice of reason ever in Travis Fandom….

I will however, keep my cause alive.

But his friends call him Trout, Trav, and “Get that cat away from me”.

Need I remind you Bonzi was aptly named when he “acted” like a good guy and a good player. Dont think I dont know what an utter scumbag the real Bonzi Wells became, which is no reflection on my cat. Although now that you brought it up it seems like if it isnt Fancy Feast Tuna & Shrimp, he wont eat it. Coincidence…? Maybe.

To pre-empt others in the know, the same excuse applies for my cat Wallace.

I never forget to shout a RIP to my little Walton and Clifford. Brings a tear to my eye every time I think of em. I love you guys.

Sooooooo...

…what specific single moment are you fools looking forward to this season?

Oden dunking on someone, hard? Roy crossing somewhat up, even harder? LMA getting an alleyoop?

MINE is seeing Roy, Rudy, and Bayless all play together along with LMA and Oden, and we outscore the bad guys 50 to 12 in those 12 minutes, with the 12 all being scored by Rudy’s man. And everyone on the bench is cheering wildly and waving those towels, except for Outlaw who is counting on his fingers the shot differential between him and Kobe Bryant while steam shoots out of his ears. OOOOH OUTLAW IS A BAD APPLE.

I’m looking forward to the crazy rad cool on a fly tip lineups we’re gonna trot out there, and eventually seeing which work best over time.

BUT WHAT SINGLE MOMENT ARE YOU KIDS LOOKING FORWARD TO? And everyone can’t pick the same thing, so only one person gets to claim the controversial Sergio and Trout contract/minutes hold out that they are planning as we speak, and the subsequent 37 game win streak after we remove their negative energy from the team.

by grimc on Sep 3, 2008 10:53 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes!

Oden doesn’t merely block the shot; he snuffs it out like a candle, smothering it. He then outlets to Blake or Rudy, who hits LaMarcus streaking far ahead of his man for a slam. The opposing coach immediately calls a time out to rally his shell-shocked team. The whole sequence lasts a mere four seconds, but it marks the dawn of a new age.

The trade deadline, then free agency time, and then next year's draft

I hope next year we draft Tyler Hansbrough. I think he’s the perfect scrappy guy off the bench to make the other team’s bigs angry.

Now watch someone trash Hansbrough. If they do, I’m going to check their comment history and see if they ever said the Blazers are too deep and need to consolidate talent or the are one of those folks that think we need 15 starters on the roster.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?

by tominhawaii on Sep 3, 2008 3:30 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I could see that, if Raef and maybe Diogu would be no longer on the roster we need more frontcourt players

Guess his ceiling isn’t way higher than what he does now due to his physical limits, but he could be a good scrappy player who fights for position and rebounds and gets a few hustle baskets. And his projected position just outside the lottery to the low 20s might match our draft position if we sneak into the playoffs on 7 or 8.

The faces and helpless gestures of opposing teams and their fans when they realize Oden is for real

A happy deja-vu, almost every night…
People slowly start to realize what kind of player is coming at them. I read more and more things like “yeah, but technically he is not a rookie, he got paid last year” to argue why he shouldn’t win rookie awards. And reasonable peeps from other fan-bases start to wonder how well he will match up with the top centers in the league, too. Of course the haters already / still scream “bust”, that’s why I look forward to their reactions the most.

I’ll leave the Rudy highlights to Amlmart.

Oh yeah!

That lineup is absolutely SICK! You’ve got to be joking! Are those guys all on the same team?

Bayless at the point. Rudy at SG. Roy at SF. Aldridge and Oden. No stopping that team.

Me, I’m looking forward to watching Phil Jackson bury his face in his hands after Kobe throws a towel or something at one of the Blazers.

I got married two years ago from yesterday and forgot my anniversary. The good news is, is that I think my wife forgot it too. My question is what should I do?

I think we both missed it. last year we had a talk a week or two before and agreed not to buy each other gifts because we were going on a trip. This year we had her sister here and we go to Portland next month so we should have had the same discussion. I think she forgot too.

Ditto ditto ditto

Mine always forgets our date also, but we ain’t married yet, so our date is our decided “started going steady” date.

We met while travelling and then started “dating” months later so there wasn’t a definitive date to claim as our start date, so we picked one… and she always always always forgets it.

In fact, it’s coming up in less than 2 weeks and I am positive she has no idea.

So, woman do forget. Probably women who have more to dwell on than just remembering dates in hopes of catching a man forgetting that date and then they get to get mad at the hubbie! Most of my friends’ ladies just wanna find sumthin’ to get mad about, right fellas?

If she’s not talking about it, and acting as if nothing happened Id worry about that.

I think you need to bite the bullet on this one. You should not have forgotten that one-bottom line. Good luck bra

I worried about this sort of thing happening all day… look bra—-

your wife IM’s you to say she cant believe she forgot it was your anniversary???

Danger, Will Robinson, Danger! or in Trek vernacular— Red Alert!! Shields up!! Arm the photonic cannon!!!

Im trying to be sincere but honest here. When she drops you an IM saying she cant believe she forgot—- well, do I have to say it. She didnt forget. She’s giving you a reminder, and chance for redemption. It is not going to involve rationalizing your universal amor for each other. She knows you forgot, and is trying to point you to the easy path out. You owe your wife — BIG TIME. If you are lucky enough to have a woman half as nice as you describe, the least you owe her is an apology, a nice dinner at a nice restaurant, flowers, candy, a gift certificate for shoes and lotions, and at the very fricking least a bent knee in begness of forgiving and a promise not to let it happen again.

Tatoo’s are like promises—- all show, seldom grow.

Be a man and get down on your knees and cry for her unwarranted loyalty.
