Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

2009, October 23-24 - Twilight edition of the Junk - Get Your Mood On!


So, it seems like I am not the only one who's gotten into a mood (namely, a bad one) lately or is in one right.... now....

Star-divide

So then what do you do about it? How often do you find yourself in a bad mood, and what ways do you have to get out of bad moods? Meditate? Run? Kick peoples' faces in? etc.... discuss.....  

Or just talk about fantasy sports and accuse each other's faces of stuff...

Flag,

You can’t have the slowest computer on earth, and then get to say first.

Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."

Is wearing makeup what you do when you are in a bad mood to feel better?

by Lito on Oct 23, 2009 9:50 PM PDT reply actions  

sometimes that's true

getting all dolled up.. painting my toes… stuff like that….

Depends on the kind of bad mood… that works great for sad and down moods.. running and hustling on the court works much better for an angry mood…

Painted toenails FTW

Don’t know why they cheer me up. I’m more likely to have bright red toenails in the middle of winter when I need a pick-me-up than at the peak of sandal season.

by Corvid on Oct 23, 2009 10:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

yeah!

I even find the act of paining my toenails very relaxing and having pretty colored toenails is one of my favorite things even if I don’t seem them outside of a shower because it is too cold :)

by galacticlove on Oct 23, 2009 10:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

Painting my toenails is really the only girly thing I do.

Sometimes I paint each one a different color.

When I was a young parent,working and going to school full time my 2 year old son ran a really high fever and started barfing,we took him to the hospital and the Doc was sharp enough to do a spinal tap right away and that saved his life.Having the Doc tell you that your son has spinal meningitisand a 50-50 chanch to live is the worst mule kick in the gut I have ever had and I have not led a sheltered life

I have to discuss this "snuggie for dogs."

I don’t think this was thought out at all. First off dogs walk on all fours. The snuggie for people goes over the front. If the dog wears the snuggie it’s just gonna fall on the floor and the dog will freak out and start falling all over the place. Second off, what kind of print goes with a dalmation? A zebra, or leopard? This is so weak, I’m so freakin pissed.

I am in a terrible mood.

My wife withdrew $500.00 from a chase ATM, only it didn’t dispense the money. I called Chase and they said they would do an investigation and let us know within 90 days. Awesome. It’s not like I need that money or anything.

It gets better. I posted about it on my Facebok page (lame, I know) only to have it deleted a couple hours later. Completely true story. Turns out Chase is the “official card of Facebook”. They have a one year exclusive marketing deal to promote Chase through the social network. Awesome.

Large group of people hangs out a lot, getting to know each other over a long period of time. They have inside jokes, funny acronyms, words like Ganong, etc… One day someone off the street shows up and starts interrupting every conversation, making people explain what the inside jokes mean, what every acronym means, and claims to have never seen any movie being discussed. Also, has trouble with genders.

I haven't seen Hostel. But that kind of thing has been done to much greater effect in Seven. I don't have to see all the details.

And I don’t get the irony or moral of “oh it’s so easy to save yourself, just cut off your leg/pull out all those hooks from your flesh/rip off the threads from your eyes and mouth/grab into that acid/…”

I hate torture porn

I have a much higher tolerance than probably anyone here for most stuff, EXCEPT I do not watch scenes involving rape, pedophilia, and I think torture porn is awful. Though rape and pedophilia pretty much never has a good reason to be shown in detail.

I understand using them as part of a story… but visualizing it is not as important. And the common explanation is to show how awful it is— we know it’s awful. Showing how awful it is does not prevent a would-be raper from raping. It makes them happy to see it and it becomes their favorite movie.

That’s the only things I won’t watch.

And other recent “horror” movies where it’s just people tied up and tortured. Lame.

well in that movie, nearly all of the scenes were done for shock value

but I totally see your point. It’s too bad because I felt the rest of that movie was pretty clever, but during that part I just wanted to look away. Awhile back Jonestr was looking for a dark comedy, so I recommended it with a strong caveat.

See, I'm a weirdo

I usually enjoy violence in movies, “shocking” things with a point (or even without a point if fun enough), but I just hate hate hate hate throwing in graphic rape scenes for pretty much no reason into some movies.

And go figure— it seems common in the recent remakes of those 70s horror movies like Hills Have Eyes and Last House on the Left produced by Michael Bay.

Of course, lots of 70s exploitation movies feature rape. It was too common.

How do you direct something like that?

Not everyone who makes movies is smart, or has a conscience

I am sure most think it is edgy and bold to show rape on film when they show it like that.

I also hate when they are clearly trying to make the nudity involved in the scene be somewhat titillating… what on Earth is the message there.

It's a weird thing.

People think it’s artistic to make bad things look good. Like the way art history professors get all dreamy eyed when they talk about suicide.

So and so killed themselves, isn’t that deep and interesting and magical? No it’s not, it’s just sad. Van Gogh would have been better off never panting anything and living a normal happy life. The fact that he was a tortured soul doesn’t make his work better.

► A man and a woman kiss, and another man and woman kiss. A man and a woman sit in bed together, they are clothed, but it is implied that they have had sex.

here's the evidence

It’s kinda weird though so I’ll try to explain:
The dream started out with me and a few other people sitting in an open-topped mini-van around sunset. I don’t know what kind it was but I could tell it was from some alternate-reality/future. We were all sitting there looking at a necklace that I was wearing, it was silver in color but much shinier than silver, more chrome in appearance, on a cable chain. The pendant itself was in sort of an organic, free-form shape having no seemingly intended design, more like lump of metal frozen in the first stage of being molten. While we were sitting there(we were parked in a suburban neighborhood, more like a layout from the 50’s than the developments we see today), the road stretched out straight ahead of us for as far as the eye could see, while centuries old maples and elms overhung the side of the road dotted with parked cars.
       Suddenly overhead we watched as some flying robot/insect/octopi like creatures resembling the robots from "The Matrix" except more humanoid in appearance when looking at the formation of the head, homed in on us and descended. Quickly they all turned to me and to the pendant that I was fondling around my neck.
      "He’s the one." they said
       "One what?", I thought to myself.
       "You with the necklace, you will have to come with us."
       "Where are we going?" I asked
       "You will find out. Here get in this Camaro and follow us."
         So the "Camaro" that they spoke of was certainly not a camaro that anyone from this reality would be familiar with, it was more like something that you would have seen during the golden age of car shows, in the early to mid-sixties. A vehicle without doors but instead having a large bubble that acted as the windshield, roof and doors, stuck into a great chrome flattened tube, with four open, non-fendered wheels, stuck on the outside.
        I got in and after getting a signal from the flying robots, I took off with nary a squeal of the skinny tires. We quickly accelerated through the neighborhood, and as we moved faster and faster I could barely begin making out a rock face straight ahead, where once had been an indeterminate horizon. I began to get anxious, and just before I mashed my foot into the break pedal, as the human instinct for self-preservation had reached an undeniable level, a portion of the stone face moved up, a la Batman, and I quickly disappeared into an ivy-covered, granite facade.
       As soon as I was inside I was assaulted with a dominating, overlord-esque voice, blasting over this underground tunnels loudspeakers. The corridor in which I was driving appeared near perfect in it’s construction, and while it had seams and joints where ceiling, floor and wall panels came together, you could tell at first glimpse that a straight-edge placed across the joints would lay perfectly flat. The material was a darker, charcoal grey metal and the whole complex was in the shape of an extremely long flattened tube.
        The voice perforated my head, and said to me," Welcome John. I have brought you here to participate in my beautiful death race."
         " Death race? What the hell is that?" I thought
        But before I could respond I spotted the end of the corridor, and not having time to stop the car I spun it sideways, and leapt out of the bubble/roof/door and performed a stunt roll move that i saw in the dukes of hazzard or something. The car smashed into the wall and immediately exploded, and when I finally lifted my head, I could see on the other side of the floor two figures standing nervously. I pulled myself to my feet and walked over.
         One of the figures was immediately identifiable as the Marlboro man, a rugged and dusty cowboy, with blue jeans and well worn boots, while the other appeared to be a living piece of candy. A life-sized lollipop man of some sort, except badly manufactured. He was nearly two-dimensional, a little over six feet tall, with oversized appendages and a giant cartoon head. The candy was a hard candy of a reddish-brown color, but aged like a hard-candy gets when it’s left in a cellophane wrapper for 5 years, and the features were painted on with that white food grade paint, that many of us born before the advent of skittles should be familiar with. The stick was, well, up his butt, but that wasn’t the most distinguishing feature of this strange creature. It appeared as if his nose was an afterthought. Upon closer inspection one could detect how a hole had been pressed into his face where the nose should be, and then a ball of the same type of candy that made up the rest of him, had been jammed in and held in place with a piece of scotch-tape.
          Suddenly, the voice on the loudspeaker said "Welcome to my death-race. You have been selected to be a part of this because I am completely mad, and I have a lot of money."
         The Marlboro man instinctively reached for his lasso, and was immediately decapitated by an invisible force. I looked at the candy man.
          I said, " What are you?"
         To which he replied," I’m a puffy-pepper pop. I’m a candy man flavored like bell pepper. I’m the worst candy ever, I don’t even know why they made me."
         "Run!" I screamed as massive, green flame-balls flew at us from all directions. And then his nose fell out.
        "Leave me here, I don’t deserve to live, I don’t want to live."
        " I’m not leaving you!" I said, and forced his candy, nose ball back into place replacing the tape.
         Suddenly laughter filled the room in the dream, and I woke up laughing hysterically, waking my girlfriend beside me. Overwhelmed with laughter, and unable to draw a complete breath, I tried to answer her queries about why I was laughing, and minutes later, barely managed to get out," I’m a puffy-pepper pop, I’m the worst candy ever!"

I got a good laugh this morning out of a swine flu rant that was on the front page of Yahoo

It said something to the effect of


“Swine flu hits children and young adults especially hard. Approximately 50% of hospitalizations and 25% of deaths from swine flu have occurred in those aged under 25.”

Really? That’s a big deal? The under-25 crowd represents over 34.1% of our population as a nation (I actually looked it up)….soooooo why is it a big deal if 25% of deaths come from this demographic?

THAT'S JUST CAUSE YOU CAN'T FIGHT

I like a good fight in any sort of martial art, and MMA can be really fun to watch.

I don’t follow it, I got some friends who do, and those guys are really friggin’ skilled at what they do.

This reminds me, just watched a few episodes of a funny show on MTV called BULLY BEATDOWN. They take bullies who are bothering a lil’ fellar and get their arse kicked by real MMA fighters. One I watched had that one Russian fighter who wears the fanged mouthpiece totally demolish this fat bully.

It’s a real funny show. These bullies act all tough and talk big, and then the MMA fighter walks into the ring and they all look like they’re about to crap their pants. Most try to still put up the tough guy facade, but you see the panic flash across their face.

Then they get their butt kicked and apologize to the kid they bullied.

Somehow, even though the one who got bullied isn’t doing the revenge, it helps the kid who got bullied feel better.

TELL ME TELL ME

I imagine trading Kidd will hurt me a bunch in assists, but what does the addition of Murphy and Williams do?

"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"

by cloudydays on Oct 24, 2009 1:39 AM PDT up reply actions  

I agree with Cabby

You’re better on rebounds now with Murphy, and better on points (which you need(ed) ) after adding Murphy and Louis Williams.

Your good on steals (and I foresee Williams doing well there with 15 more minutes a game, since he had 80+ in just 20 minutes a night), very low on blocks, solid on FTs except for Beans (so he might tank you some nights), Beans is also a turnover machine so if he DOES finally get the minutes he deserves, you’ll be hurting in the TO department— but I always forget about TOs.

Otherwise you got good guys for turnovers for the most part.

Barbosa had a down year and could bounce back up, I believe (he was still good for fantasy in his down year). Battier would normally be someone I suggest trading because he is a popular name but doesn’t give you much actual stats, but perhaps they’ll look for him to do more because they are so depleted right now.

I’d bet he doesn’t give much aside from 3’s though, which you should be good in.

Assists, though you might prove to be able to win it some weeks, blocks for sure, and maybe your FG% are your problems.

by Mortimer on Oct 24, 2009 1:51 AM PDT up reply actions

i could use the Birdman’s services

"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"

by cloudydays on Oct 24, 2009 1:56 AM PDT up reply actions  

Ok Royboto...

…you likely need 3’s (you got a few guys who make it regularly, but not a LOT. Just a few 1-a-game-guys).

And rebounding… Bosh is a good-not-great rebounder, and he is your only real rebounder. Memo is your 2nd best. That will be a problem area.

If anything happens to Birdman or Ariza, you will have lots of blocks and steals problems. Especially blocks. I don’t think anything will happen to them, just underlining that you’re relying on individual players to compensate for the others not providing much there.

Also, say, if they only play once in a week, you’ll be hurtin’. Same for Calderon with assists.

Now, Martell will help with 3’s, but who knows how many minutes he’ll get. I’d expect at least 1 a game from him though.

And perhaps Ariza has a big jump in numbers since he’s gonna be one of their main weapons this year.

It’s a good team that could be lots better if Martell provides 80% of what he did his last healthy year, A-Rand takes off, Ariza gets a big boost from being used more, and if you can somehow get more rebounding and 3’s.

In my opinion. You got some guys who could go either way and be totally fine, or find yourself just short.

by Mortimer on Oct 24, 2009 2:10 AM PDT up reply actions  

Your turnovers looks great

A-Rand, if he gets minutes, will hurt it, and maybe Ariza since he won’t be used to having a lot of usage, but overall your big assist man rarely turns it over and you’ll likely win TOs each week.

I keep trying to tell you

the Ganong’s only real strength (other than the wildly variable week to week TOs) is the big men. In order to win H2H matchups you’ve got to have 2-3 categories you KNOW you can win every week. A jack of all trades team won’t cut it.

eh. I think being solid in some areas while still having a chance in other areas is optimal. You can’t just go for a few categories.

by Cablinasian on Oct 24, 2009 2:09 AM PDT up reply actions  

only being solid in a bunch of areas makes it easy to

lose a category by just a few points, or rebounds…etc…but if you can lock up a category and not have to worry about it, you can gameplan more effectively on how to take a weaker category.

If I can lock up 3 categories, I only have to worry about winning 2 others; I can make a waiver pickup to boost a category or if I’m running into weekly game limits I can identify what other category needs help in. If I’m only solid or above average across the board, then I’m more or less rolling the dice that my players can win any particular category in a given week. I also have no way to tweak the roster in order to gain an advantage because any gains I make in one area come at the expense of another.

Not normally

But in this deep a league, if you got someone (like me with Thabest) just kinda taking up a roster spot and you don’t NEED what they do, it is okay to take a guy who only gives you one thing… even if not very much… depending on how much you need it.

by Mortimer on Oct 24, 2009 2:14 AM PDT up reply actions  

Either Dooling or Rafer will get the backup minutes

So that’s a toss up.

Telfair is the for sure backup to Baron and should get some run, Sergio will be a good pickup IF he beats out Beno… if not, he’ll be too sporadic.

Anthony Johnson will be mediocre, but he’ll get ya assists in an up tempo system and play every night. Again, none are great, but that’s a 20 team league for ya.

depends on how bad ya need it.

in terms of luck effecting the outcome of a league….the larger the league the more luck is involved. A few injuries hit some teams…they’re out….A few teams have a poor draft…they’re out….There is just no way to come back from any mistakes or misfortune.

by Magnum on Oct 24, 2009 2:33 AM PDT up reply actions  

I think even in a 10 person league

Lebron/Wade/Paul go down, no one on the waiver wire matters and while having a Caron Butler to help compensate is nice, it’s still not gonna do it. Same problem. Everyone has it.

Injuries are injuries, but the draft in this big of a league is the big part of the skill. Finding those guys, 150+ picks in, who can contribute. Yeah, if ya mess up the draft, you’re screwed— same in a ten person league.

One good thing about this big league is that we all know each other and seem open to trades and stuff. You don’t need to be stuck with your roster.

But drafting bad hurts you no matter how big the league is. The best guys get snagged up.

True, there isn’t likely much gold sitting on the waiver wire (like I always mention, I got Nene off of waivers in my 10 or 12 person league last year) but it’s just part of the challenge. SOMEONE undrafted will prove that they should have been, and it’s up to us to find them and figure it out before someone else does.

One of the things people don't get is that some superstars don't translate to fantasy

(waits for Lebron to get dropped).

by Mortimer on Oct 24, 2009 2:46 AM PDT up reply actions  

nah, morty, nah

a guy like Lebron will put up a much greater percentage of a team’s total stats in a 20 team league than he will in a 10 team league.

In one last year, my dad drafted Deron Williams and Elton Brand with his first 2 picks and they missed over 100 games combined. He was still able to win the league because of some deft waiver wire acquisitions.

If the top 2 players on a 20 team league go down for that long that team ain’t coming back. Getting hit by the injury bug is just bad luck and it can overwhelm skill.

by Magnum on Oct 24, 2009 2:52 AM PDT up reply actions  

Yes it can overwhelm skill

But the skill level is higher to win, since you’re utilizing guys who’d usually never be drafted.

Obviously, luck and avoiding bad injuries to key players is essential and overrides skill in some cases.

by Mortimer on Oct 24, 2009 2:54 AM PDT up reply actions  

I still feel like at 20 teams, the skill level is lower

at a certain point, the random scrubs being drafted have basically no statistical difference between each other. You could randomly select players with your last 4 picks and be no worse off. Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration.

by Magnum on Oct 24, 2009 2:58 AM PDT up reply actions  

I didn't draft randomly

If someone used their last 4 picks randomly, then yes, they will only get production through luck.

This draft took much more thought than any previous fantasy draft, since you had to consider EVERYONE, not just the same ol’ same ol’. It was a tough draft.

Shoot, there were top 100 players from last year left in the last round. There were still good guys to get.

by Mortimer on Oct 24, 2009 3:13 AM PDT up reply actions  

let's not confuse PAINFUL with skillfull

certainly drafting a 20 team league is more painful because you have to decide if Diop is better than Dampier.

Real skill is deciding if Devin Harris or Rajon Rondo is going to help your team more.

At a certain point in a 20 team draft it’s not about talent, fit or production anymore; it’s about getting a warm body on the court. It’s like that scene in Space Jam when Jordan is forced to play Newman (I can’t remember his real name, you know, that big annoying fat guy) because EVERYONE else is injured. That’s not skill, that’s desperation.

by Magnum on Oct 24, 2009 3:19 AM PDT up reply actions  

Uhhh

Dampier is a lot better than Diop.

This might be easier than I thought.

You are underrating the guys available in a 20 team draft. You still make the Harris or Rondo type decisions early, and then the tough decisions come.

I got 2 guys who might not get much minutes— Thabest, and McGee. Most other teams have the same situation. They’re still guys worth drafting for blocks in smaller leagues.

Drafting and choosing from known quantities like Harris or Rondo is easy. Depends on what ya want.

I guess it’s a difference in opinion. The draft wasn’t painful at all, it was a lot of fun, because you really had to THINK about who to draft. Had to improvise quickly, since the guys you wanted would be taken.

I think it’s just different for me and some of us others. The skill and knowledge required to draft in a league like this is, to me, much harder than picking from the normal top 100 guaranteed players.

I don’t think all of my guys will be top 100, but each one has a shot at it (except for maybe Thabest).

that anything under 10 is just ridiculous. I once saw a 4 team league. I think the “ultimate” test of skill (as far as FBB is concerned) is a league somewhere between 10 and 20, probably the 12-16 range.

You guys should put people up on the trading block

So we can see who is open to a deal.

Guess who I put up?

I think we’ll need a new JD in the morning for SO.

I’m working now at the office (working saturdays in Spain is almost a constitutional offense) and thought: “let’s see how’s the JD”

Over 700 comments.

by medmelon on Oct 24, 2009 4:30 AM PDT up reply actions  

it's friday night and I have nothing to do tomorrow

or rather, it’s saturday morning and I don’t have to be up for anything

any word on what your friend is going to do with pick number 1? CP3 or Lebron?

by Magnum on Oct 24, 2009 4:31 AM PDT up reply actions  

hahaha, he’s still not sure, says he needs to do more research. We’re still trying to figure out the amount of cocaine we’ll need to stay awake.

by medmelon on Oct 24, 2009 4:40 AM PDT up reply actions  

you could have an American proxie draft for you

someone you trust to draft well….I don’t know….

I’ll probably have to gameplan for both Lebron and CP3, won’t I?

by Magnum on Oct 24, 2009 4:43 AM PDT up reply actions  

don't worry

if I can finish my work, I’ll have nothing to do on Monday and will be able to stay up late. He’ll do it too probably.

I’ll ask him again and email you 2moro.

But Kirk's got the best 3P% of that group by far ;)

And on a per minute basis he’s behind Peja, Steve, and Kirk.

Aside from the teasing, though, I hope it works out well for him in Phoenix. It’s a much better fit, and I like Channing and would like to see him have some success down there.

So tired...yawn

gotta get ready to go catch my flight down to la.

Hopefully SC puts a beatin’ on those stinky beavers early cause I got tickets to the UFC as well. I’m thinking about heading over to Staples at halftime. Decisions, decisions….I hate my life sometimes.

Later losers.

Is there a way to embed links so others don't have to right click?

Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
