10/12/09 Junk...FFB edition

 

So, I might lose one of my FFB matchups this week because Reggie Wayne dropped an easy TD pass... SMH.  My other team punished though... jealous? 

To stay on the fantasy sports theme, I would really like to join a Bedge/junkster basketball league.  Lets get this thing goin!  I can start it up if need be, but I am lazy, so... you know... 

Junksters, proceed to talk about nothing and everything at the same time, that's what this thread is for...

 

GO BLAZERS!!!!

I expect this poll to be a landslide, BTW….

I might lose because Jacksonville deactivated Sims-Walker (their best player at the moment)

I hate it. I didn’t know it, and even if I did it probably wouldn’t have helped much because my third WR had a bye week. But I might have been able to waive my kicker and get some scrub replacement who at least makes 5 points. And to have a good fight, I even informed my opponent (Dougall) that he didn’t have his lineups set. Smh. I really needed this win.

I was trying to put in another WR over Sims-Walker today who still plays, but the system doesn’t let me :)
I’ll watch and hope Ginn produces nothing like a number of other players or gets run over on the first action. Likely I’ll fall asleep, and when I wake up Ginn has produced exactly 3 points and i have lost.

I think I spent an hour tonight looking for an old Jimi poster I used to have.

I bought it in 5th grade when I didn’t know who he was, it was just that cool.
Blue shirt, blue headband, blue background, I think white guitar, shot from below looking up at him. Might have been a multicolored headband.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

MJ bothers me.
He was, obviously, an Amazing player, then best, but he also was so lame off the court.
All those underwear commercials and cartoons and the gambling and his father’s death and the baseball and golf things and the comeback and the management/ownership bungles, then the HOF thing … he just kinda sucks.
I supposed to each their own, but if I was MJ23, I’d like to think I’d make wiser choices.

I’m pretty much convinced of it after seeing the replay 20 times. Huskies got a gift there. Doesn’t excuse Arizona from the loss though. They still had a chance to win it and couldn’t execute.

Yep. Just boil it. Then eat it. Can throw it in with some noodles, or make a soup...yummy!

Now if you really want to go hard core…you and your PRC Chinese wife go to the Oregon coast for her first excursion since hitting US shores. See sees seeweed growing on the rocks just out in the surf, so she sends you out to get some. You do. You take this stuff home, and dry it on yur patio. Then she prceeds to boil it, and you all eat it. Yummy….an excerpt from my past. You can tell how fondly I remember it…

I once ate algae for a year in the form of pellets/capsules

Especially “Spirulina”. Can’t really say I noticed a difference, and it didn’t taste great since those were not cooked. I used it more like vitamin pills.

My finger nails are falling off

Remember how I had chemical burns from the hydrogen peroxide I used to clean up Mercury’s tumor blood?

The burns stopped hurting after about a week, but now my fingernails have slowly gotten looser and looser. It’s really quite unsettling, as they don’t really hurt but just feel really unstable.

Well, they hurt when pressed or when I try to use a finger nail to pick at something or if something slides under my nail accidentally. It just feels so weird. I’m assuming whatever connects nail to finger died from the burn and soon they’ll come off and I’ll have new fancy fingernails.

I do remember California Street

It had all the cool bars on it. I tried to buy a sticker from a guy and and he wouldn’t give me the one I wanted, just kept trying to sell me a different one and then said, “You buy now,” I said, “But I don’t want that one.” Then he said, “You get out my store!”

I bought a cool leather jacket and belt there. On California street a street vendor was selling pot stickers and I pretty much ate my weight in them one night. The next day, when I would sweat, I could smell them.

Fox news... seriously....
"We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent," said Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, in a telephone interview on Sunday. "As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave."

I don’t consider myself political (I get most of my news through NPR). I don’t know what’s wrong with this story: Is Fox news a monster, or is it just pandering to its enablers? I blame the interwebs for a shift away from journalism towards opinion. To me this is a case where expression (tv broadcast) can place people in ignorance.

I think that the shift from journalism towards opinion had started before the Internetz became huge

The intenet has accelerated it, but it really started once the cable news stations started to proliferate. They (all, not only Fox News) quickly realized what the best return on their investment was, and it wasn’t investigatory journalism.

Fox News is a joke

and 90 percent of their shows are purposefully inflammatory, poorly researched and plain moronic.
MSNBC “see above”

We need to go back to a couple hours a day of politics on TV. There is so much time to fill on all these channels that they just drub up nonsense to talk about. Its the same parallel as ESPN and their coverage of athletes. 10 min of sports news today so lets spend 40 min talking about Tony Romo and his twitter account.

Your help is required.

every time you ask for a book recommendation I say this and who knows if you've read it by now

but Blood Meridian by McCarthy. Also, a book I find moving (and one of my favorites) The Passion by Jeanette Winterson. Waterland by Graham Swift is one of my favorites too and one you might find interesting.

I tried to buy Blood Meridian this weekend—for reals. At Powell’s on Hawthorn, they said they had 4 in stock, they had none. They had 40 copies of No Country in the event that a classroom was going to descend upon them… I was angry, so I didn’t buy anything, and I had planned on buying that and another book…

I am just throwing this out there:

JD topics should be highly inclusive

I know that the hot topics are not necessarily the ones brought up in the body of the fanpost, but I could see some people (me) being put off by a topic that has really no relevance to them.

So here is an alternative JD topic, great scenes from movies that you thought were overall bad movies. I thought of this while watching inglorious basterds last night. Great opening scene followed by, what I thought, was an underdeveloped movie.

The scene when her a Elray hook up again…so much reminds me of an ex girlfriend that I adore, the mannerisims, the language cadence…uhhh.

i'm more along the lines of

Death Proof > Jackie Brown. Jackie Brown I thought was a little boring, too long. Definitely Tarantino’s most conventional. I think it hurt that he was working from material that wasn’t his also. Death Proof was a bit too talky and there’s not much to it, but he was making a car chase flick. And he absolutely freaking nailed the car chase. Also a pretty great last shot.

There are certain people that don’t like or get jokes, and they take everything cereals. It is sometimes fun to watch someone not get someone else’s joke, but it is annoying when it happens to me.

Basically, I posited a relativistic paradox wherein you would think prez is cool because you are even less cool than he is.

I think that the fact that we know parts of each other’s lives (through off-topic conversation) helps. It makes it personal; however, the size of the community helps to keep the JD personal and thus civil.

In the phaedrus, Socrates ponders whether friends are ‘friends’ because of the things in common, or whether things in common leads to friends. The last words of Phaedrus, are somewhat famous, for a lesser Platonic dialogue:

I think it’s an interesting question—“what is the sticky stuff of your friendships?” I think people fade out of your life as you just no longer have things in common—you may have the past in common (going to school with them and such). At my age, I tend to find people with common interests from which that the bond springs. In the past, especially with women of a fairer complexion, I’d assume a bond, and strive towards having things in common, in the form of sharing. Now, I find it much more fruitful, to find a twist that has lots in common with me…

I think the real question, is can you have two people who differ in that which they hold to be the most important—Say I was a bit younger, and the most important thing to me was my career. I think it would be highly unlikely for me to be with someone in that situation, who didn’t hold their career, or the celebration of another career, as that which is most important. Religion, I think, for many, fills or shares the same room as “that which is most important to me”

Interesting that you would use the word “respect” (literally, to look back at one). I think it suggests a view point that includes “the self”—which is to say, if you respect another, it is a measurement with relation to yourself. That may or may not, depending upon how you see it, contribute to that which is most important to you (namely yourself)—I think sometimes we like others because they are an accessory to our own lives.

I do. Tolerance and intolerance can take many forms.

as a believer in God, Jesus, what have you,

I have a lot of bones of contention with organized religion also. The difference between faith and religion is vast and important. Organized religion seems to pay lip service to the faith aspect but focus more on dogma and institutionalized “belief.” turns a lot of people off, understandably.

by DrivetheLane on Oct 12, 2009 11:36 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agree 100% with that. I think organizing our priorities or organizing our values is probably the biggest key to growing up. I used to get really fired up against organized religion. Now, I just see it as another attempt at organizing one’s life in the world, and learning how face the mirror day in and day out. I don’t subscibe to it, and in some cases I don’t think it’s good for people, but I have my own world to shape. Getting indoctrinated (institutionalized by your work, by TV, by another’s code of conduct, etc) are the pitfalls of life, in my opinion…

See...what is interestings is:

Tolerance is not good enough. Can you imagine someone saying, “we need more tolerance of x type people”. Do they really understand the word tolerance? Here it is in a different context to help illustrate the point,

“I hate you, but I’ll tolerate you”

If I was a minority, I would think that being accepted would be the goal, not just tolerated. Being tolerated is still an insult.

tangent

this talk of tolerance v acceptance brings up a odd personal relationship that I have, and if anyone has any sage like advice please jump in.

There is this lady that is on my bike racing team that I do not like at a personal level, but tolerate for the sake of team harmony. I am polite, but I really have no interest in being friends with this person. Problem is that she has mistaken my politeness as a sign of friendship, and considers us friends. I am really not comfortable with that, but I dont want to make a bunch of drama, by trying to make clear what our relationship should be i.e. polite but not friends.

I seriously spend too much time thinking about this situation.

terrible yet funny advice

on the surface putting someone in their place seems sweet, but it really seems like it has no long term benefit for me, so I try to avoid and lot not my more egotistical side take over.

That is the great thing about sport; you can put people in their place and it is totally acceptable.

its pretty close… I have no issue with anyone else believing what they do I only have issue with people trying to force anyone else to believe what they do..

Agnostic theist

that appropriate?

by GreatOden'sRaven on Oct 12, 2009 5:58 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

i don't think so.

theist indicates belief, which agnosticism doesn’t.

A few definitions:
Theism in the broadest sense is the belief in at least one deity.12 In a more specific sense, theism refers to a particular doctrine concerning the nature of God and his relationship to the universe.3 Theism, in this specific sense, conceives of God as personal and active in the governance and organization of the world and the universe.

Deism (\ˈdi:iz(ə)m\)1 or (\ˈdē-ˌi-zəm\)2 is a religious and philosophical belief that a supreme being created the universe, and that this (and religious truth in general) can be determined using reason and observation of the natural world alone, without a need for either faith or organized religion. Deists tend to, but do not necessarily, reject the notion of divine interventions in human affairs, such as by miracles and revelations

So basically, if you think God is personal and nice, you’re a theist. If you think God created the world and then took off, you’re a deist.

An agnostic would say the evidence doesn’t exist (or can’t exist) to make a determination one way or the other. Deists and theists have committed.

no matter how many times Raiders lose games, raider fans continue to believe in all truthfulness their team is good. Nothing you can say or do makes it change in their mind. They believe it. All the science can say they are wrong but in their relative opinion, they are right..

i have a hard time getting too upset about it. Their first touchdown was on a drive aided by an inane personal foul call on third down.

Maybe I’m rationalizing, I dunno. UW was screwed last week, had to suffer through Gilbertson and Willingham, and all of campus was just hoping. Just hoping for a win. The sigh of relief in the stadium was eerie.

that is the ball bouncing off of the turf/foot and into the hands of a player. The picture shown is not the catch, but the bounce.

So the difference is if it bounces off the foot OR off the ground?

by Norsktroll on Oct 12, 2009 2:51 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yep

if it bounces off the foot, it is a live ball
if it bounces off the ground, it is an incomplete pass and the play is over.

by tingeyga on Oct 12, 2009 2:55 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

And despite the screenshots above

It looks really close when you see live footage. I said “That looks like it might have hit the ground”… my wife looked (not a UW fan) and said “It looks like his foot moved and the point of the ball hit his foot and missed the ground”

So basically, it’s inconclusive.
