Junk Drawer 9/9

No 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.

Just on different things.

At least, if you consider “self-righteous” to be claiming moral superiority over the other guy. Seems like there’s an awful lot of that going around on both sides. They both have issues where they claim to not only have a better position, but to be morally superior.

thus is the nature of politics.

i agree w/ you

Its ironic thats all. We are in Iraq to do God’s will , according to Palin, to Kill terrorists that are killing killing Americans to enact their God’s will. So which is it huh?

Speaking of Iraq have you ever read “king Leopold’s Ghost”? Good shite!

Nope

I only read Blazer’s Edge.

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?

NBA Superstar Caught Doing Lance Bass on Tape!
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.

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.
