Junk Drawer 9/9

PrintNo junk drawer yet, so I thought I would share my favorite cancer story. Sometimes laughter is the best medicine.
My friend Jason had a brain tumor removed from behind his forehead, and he now has a huge scar that goes around his hairline. He was visiting from Oregon and I took him snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. It is a snorkeling park in a collapsed volcano crater that is not too far from our home.
We were there for a couple of hours, both in the water and just relaxing on the beach. Afterwards we were rinsing off at some outdoor showers near the restrooms. As we were rinsing off a gentleman and his wife started using the showers to my left.
The man next to me starts talking and I was not sure if he was talking to me, Jason, or his wife. He said, "You know that ring you get on your face from wearing a snorkel mask?" Jason and I still were not sure who he was talking to and then he said, "You still have a ring on your head; it almost looks like you had skull surgery. We realized he was talking to Jason. Jason said, "That’s because I did have skull surgery." The fellow replied, "Oh really, why?" Jason said, "I had a brain tumor."
After that, the poor fellow had trouble talking because his foot was in his mouth. The next thing the guy stuttered was, "Well everything is alright, right, because you’re here?" Jason said something about "being okay and on chemo," and then we walked off.
I tried to be good and not laugh. About 10 feet from the shower I started laughing uncontrollably. Then Jason said, "How bad does that guy feel now? We both agreed that the poor guy must have felt pretty bad.

I remember a story Big Suck (from 1080 the fan) told on the air
He sees a lady he hadn’t seen since high school. She used to be really big (heavy) but was now slim an trim. He says: " Wow, you look great!! How did you lose all that weight?“. She replies: "Cancer”

It’s an original vintage shirt I got on ebay that turned out to be waaaayyyy too small and had a slight stain in the center. Sort of a bummer, but I didn’t have the heart to send it back to the guy because the lettering and overall design is so awesomely intact.

I’m pretty radical myself, though. I endorse killing terrorists, wherever they are. I don’t think that really makes you self-righteous or radically self-righteous. These scum kill (and sometimes rape) women and children in the name of their “God”. If you can’t stop them any other way, kill them.
And I haven’t seen any other way to stop some of these guys.
Sorry if that’s too political, and it isn’t a preference for any other party, nor intended to be a statement about whether Iraq was good or bad (I don’t think any of us really know the truth enough to actually know for sure whether it was or not). And I’m not for invading every place Bush and Blair don’t like.
But I’m all for killing terrorists.

I agree there are some baddddd people out there
that doo crazy things in the name of their god. King Leopold II was the Belguim ruler who set up a colony in the modern day Congo in Africa. He was there under the pretense of the rubber trade however he facilitated several of his buddies start up and ‘international’ slave trade shipping corporations that were largly free of paying taxs on their cargo etc etc.. He slaughtered upwards of 10 million men women and children and that doesnt account for the millions that were shipped to europe and sold into slavery . All was done while in Belgium, France, and UK and to a lesser extent the rest of Europe propaganda said the Congolese were a danger to the world and they were only there for the rubber trade and to rid the world of evil…
Just a decent read. I wouldn’t say its left leaning bias book because its a largly factual account done by research but some parts, particualrly re Leopold’s buddie’s corporations are just too telling to let slip by.
If you solely read BE that is a shame. People like me post here all the time…

Never trust European propaganda
of any sort.
The Congolese were a danger to the world. So were the Belgians, French, and Brits.
Everybody is dangerous, because everyone has this wonderful tendency to selfishness, and if it isn’t kept in check by internal moral controls, it has to be kept in check by external controls.
Fortunately, someday I will rule the world. That’s not European propaganda, that’s just fact.

Its sad when he talks in detail about the way they murdered babies
but the overall story is pretty interesting. If you cant handle that im sure there are a couple novels out that deal during this conflict. I cant remember the name of the novel but it’s about a family that moves to the Congo and become missionaries and they tell this story of genocide and greed from a personal and emotional stance rather than a compilation of facts ( Leo’s Ghost).
Anyone know the novel im referring to?

Posted Sep 9th 2008 9:16AM by TMZ Staff
In what could be hailed the single greatest karaoke performance in the history of recorded music, Portland Trail Blazer Greg Oden grabbed the mic during a charity event in Oregon and ripped out the most ridiculous version of ’NSYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” you’ve ever heard in your life.
Gotta admit, dude’s got moves — for an 87-year-old.

Six recs for that?!
I am seriously jealous. You throw-up increasingly banal fanposts and still get rec’d. I suspect you have set-up six BE accounts at work on your co-workers’ computers and use them to rec yourself. If so, you are brilliantly Machiavellian indeed.
In the event that is not the case, I wish to address your army of sycophants and Tomoholics. Folks, Tom the Emperor has no clothes. That fanpost was not rec-worthy. It was not even James Worthy. Have you no shame?
Tom, let’s research this. I am the anti-Tom. My posts and comments never get rec’d. I will write a fanpost and email it to you. You post it. One of three things will happen:
- It will immediately get rec’d into the Recommended section as usual, proving that BEdgers are now trained, like Pavlovian rats, to rec you, regardless of quality.
- No one will rec it, proving that even your seemingly mundane fanposts are as brilliant as a Picasso sketch and that BEdgers viscerally and intellectually recognize the differences between your rec-worthy fanposts and my non-rec-worthy fanposts.
- A black hole will be created that expands rapidly and gobbles-up the earth and then the universe.

If this wasn't a Junk Drawer
Then possibly you’d have righteousness on your side in the argument, but alas, it ‘tis a Junk Drawer and those always get recc’d their way to the top (unless Jorga makes one).
You SHOULD try the experiment though, because it is a good one.
We always see dumb trades suggested on fan websites (not as much here, especially considering the traffic we get), but are those trade ideas dumb because of who posted them? What if Dave himself (the guy who runs our Blazers Edge and does a cracker jack job) suggested a LMA and Trout for AK47 and Kyle Korver deal? Would it then become GENIUS?
No, probably not.
BUT something not as drastic could still be seen as great if coming from a screen name the reader knows and trusts.
So, you guys should try this out, though I’d beware; Tom has a unique voice and writing style that is Tom in Hawaii-esque, and an imposter could easily be sniffed out. As would someone trying to be Tom-esque and forcing tweener pop culture icons into the post. It’s a balancing act to be sure and the happy medium MUST be found.
Again, though, this is just a junk drawer so your point is misled. And can Tom help being the most popular kid in school? That’s like asking Trout not to be overrated; it’s just in his very nature and he can’t help it.

You want seemingly clever but really dumb trade ideas? Here we go
Jamaal Tinsley, Marquis Daniels (expiring), Danny Granger for Raef (expiring), Sergio, Travis. Hey, it works with the trade machine. And we all know Indiana wants to get rid of Tinsley and Daniels. Even their own GM has said the Tin Man has used up his welcome. They have taken down the nameplate above his locker. Everybody around the league knows Indiana’s ownership is pretty cheap, wants to get rid of expensive contracts, and doesn’t want to buy them out. So they need to trade them for pennies on the dollar. And they need nice guys to improve their image in return. Well, they have to give up their only future franchise player in the process, but there is no such thing as a free lunch, right?
As for Tinsley, I chuckled to read that the Pacers removed the nameplate from his locker. Despite being under contract, Tins has essentially been fired. If a deal isn’t struck before camp it would be hilarious to think of Tinsley showing up as if nothing had changed, like Costanza pretending he wasn’t fired. – Indycornrows.com
Why would the Blazers do it: First of all for the comedic value of swapping half of the team with Indiana, and having Sergio back up Jarrett Jack again. If there are reports out of Indiana of a Spaniard firing a weapon after a mental breakdown in front of Club Rio in Indianapolis in October almost exactly two years after the first incident (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3147811), that would be him. But he is a nice guy, so it won’t happen. Acquiring our future SF would be a nice by-product. And Paul Allen could buy out two more players with dubious character and big contracts, seemingly his favorite way to spend his money.
P.S.: A Pacers fan suggested Tinsley for LMA and Rudy a months ago to me. Revenge for dumb trade ideas is sweet.
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 suspected you were taking a shot at Mr. Brent Jonathan Beck
He was so sure that deal was going down. Funny that no one called him on that.

"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
The one called MilledAnimal is correct
Tom’s funny, but not every time, he puts out a lot of material and a great deal of it is indistinguishable from anyone else’s. It’s embarrassing the way some here instantly comment back on anything he’s posted like it’s comedic gold. He doesn’t need the affirmation, just ask him.

There are many times when Tom's comments are of the few that are worthy of replies.
I’m sort of feeling relegated to the junk drawer. There are beginning to be so many strictures in other neighborhoods at the Bedge that I’m afraid I’ll perpetrate a faux pax and be chastised..

Hanauma Bay is great !
In 1983, we spent five weeks in Hawaii Kai babysitting
a friend of my mom’s house. It was a five minute walk to
Hanauma Bay. My little brother and I spent much of our
time snorkeling and playing hoops at a elementary school
on the way. We had snorkeled here in the Rogue River and the
Smith River for years, and had a great time in Hawaii.
Sandy beach & Makapu were also frequent stops.
Hang loose Bra !
It's GO time !
I snorkled in front of Charo's house
on Kauai’s North Shore. I would have invited her to join me but I was on my honeymoon. Ha ha, I almost wrote homeymoon.
I shoot layups like they're jumpers.
Serious question: Does anybody know how Hamed Haddadi (the Iranian center) came to the league without declaring for the draft?
What are the ways to enter the league? I thought independent of your nationality you either get selected in the draft, or you declare eligibility, go undrafted, and then get picked up later.
Did he declare? I don’t think so, according to his player profiles there is no reference to “undrafted”. If you don’t have to, could any player not declare for the draft, and still get in the league to the team that pays him the most (extreme example: Ricky Rubio or another potential star player out of Europe or the U.S.).
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."
According to his wikipedia page
He entered the 2004 draft and went undrafted. At that point he became a free agent.
It hasn't worked for me so far
I’m beginning to think I’ll be retired before I ever get invited to training camp.

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'm pretty sure
There’s a “sleeper cell” exception for players who wish to join an NBA team and work from within the confines of the United States of America to destroy it.
People were critical of David Stern adding this exception, but then the synthetic ball and the dress code came out and everyone was distracted by it.

Bones were really brittle. Went to Universal Studios with his kids one summer and rode the Jurassic Park ride—snapped some vertebrae in his neck.
So he has to go to the hospital and gets fitted with one of those full-head braces. You know, the ones that rest on the shoulder and go up to a ring around the forehead, where pins keep the head immobile. Had to wear it for weeks. To deal with all the strange looks, he made a t-shirt that said, “Where’s YOUR headcage?”
I have a friend who had to wear this after his car was crushed by a falling tree
In fact he was super-happy to wear it for weeks and months while his spine healed, cause only a few millimeters of additional damage would have severed the nerves and paralyzed him. He was praising his luck and smiling every time I saw him, and has fully recovered. Cancer and that condition would really blow.
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."
That guy was a classic
Always had a great attitude and sense of humor about himself. Another time, as he was being wheeled into surgery, he held out his hand which had a big rubber fake thumb with a nail stuck through it and said, “As long as I’m in here, can you guys do something about this?”

That was a very hard winter,
and it was just like one long night,
with me lying awake, waiting and waiting and waiting
for daybreak.

When you said Igor, I somehow pictured this (the guy to the right)

A question for the folks who know about TV and stuff
I am moving a couple of miles down the East Fork and my new digs has broadband and satellite and I get to lose this jive rural landline.So what is the deal with FSN,ect or am I going to have to buy the whole NBA package to get the games?
not a regular junk drawer user but after skimming my way to the bottom
I just wanna say: god you guys are a bunch of weirdos down here.
I feel like I just turned into a dark alley for a shortcut to get an answer for my question…anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knows the schedule for the team leading up to the season opener? Dates on training camp, pre season, etc.
I’m going to return to the surface now.

"He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors," Frye said after giving up his share to Oden in the workout.

Stop him, you fools

I shoot layups like they're jumpers.
Don't know if you'll see this
and you probably already found the answer elsewhere, but preseason schedule:

And I think officially training camp starts Sept 30, but mostly everyone started back a few weeks ago.
First made this a fanshot, but
since it is OT I have moved it here where no one will see it because there is a new junk drawer soon.

To donate money to cancer research and treatment funds, or was there another one?

Kilroy was here.
The site uses (an abbreviated version of) the first name under which you publish a post as the link
So he published it, and then edited the name. Clever cootie, uhm, I mean cookie.
