I thought I’d give this whole junk drawer thing a try. So I decided to find some links for your junky pleasure. Some Blazer related, and others are just for fun. Enjoy! Go Blazers! Have a Junky Wednesday.
Evidently we have given up on getting Amare. Who would have guessed!

This is a link to Blog-a-Bull that gave a trade idea that would get us Captain Kirk, and Deng.

Here is one that is from the Celtics Blog. Someone thinks our very own Rudy F. belongs in a line up with R. Evans, Bowen, and Zaza for a team of “Most Hated Players”. Why??

commentary on that post
tends to agree. Rudy hasn’t been around long enough to hate! silliness
UDOKA!
Well
it just confirms my absolute hatred towards everything Boston. They left three of the top 4 hated players in all the league off (KG, Perkins and Posey).

I was thinking more on the lines that
Damon was the games leading rebounder and was a scant 3 TOs from rare quadruple double
He used to get quite a few rebounds
for a guy that was 5’9" (maybe). He floated around well.

That game
Is a huge reason I hated to watch Damon play.
That season was the worst of it, since he was the focal point. Good lord, it was Hell on Earth watching him run around chucking 3’s without impunity.
Mort.
From day one I could not understand the hype that surrounded Damon.
It was hard to be a Blazers fan.

Y r u so sexist?
It’s sexist to point out the orange blow up doll on the right when you got what looks like to be 6 inches of blue eyeshadow blinding the lady over the Bison’s right shoulder (our left). Someone needs to help her!!
I wonder if OKC just took the left over body suits of Sasquatch and just made a new head for the costume. The arms and legs look Sasquatchy to me…
It would be totally out of character for them to do things that way, but it somehow popped in my noggin.
Twiggs, you hate woman.
Mortimer
Shoot.
You caught me.
I totally agree about the remodeled Sasquatch. Even the hair seems to be lighter in the same spots. Hmm. Cheap bastards.

A friend of mine had one. She was a brunette.
She used to hang out with us when we smoked pot on the back porch. She was the only one I ever really got to know.
Mine was a gift
It was actually a transsexual love doll and a total rip off. Honestly, I didn’t do anything with it because it was too young. It came with the Tab A part as a separate piece. Slot B was a hole wide enough that on the night I got it, I wore it on my arm up to my elbow for half the night at Steelhead Brewery in Eugene.

Wiz willing to deal lottery pick instead of Butler?
http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=519070
I found that via AOL’s Fanhouse.
Basically, instead of trading one of their top 3 (Arenas, Butler, Jamison, out of which we’d only want Butler), the Wiz are more willing to trade a bad contract coupled with their surefire high lottery pick.
I know it’s more youth, more youngin’s, more potential… but damn, another super high lottery pick.
Honestly though, I dunno who we’d even want, even if Rubio enters the draft. Is there a dyno-mite PG aside from Rubio in the draft? Dyno-mite SF? I like what we got in Batum/Webster/Bayless, so I don’t even really want another lottery pick. I want winning, playoffs, good stuff.
Of course, if there are a variety of talents that would be better than a decent-to-good veteran, ya gotta look at it. It’ an intriguing option, and I think would be silly of the Wizards to deal. They need to get healthy, sure, but even healthy they ain’t that good. They need this lottery pick.
What do peoples thinks?
Mortimer
as11osu thinks there are a ton of good point guards and PF bangers in the next draft
I have no real opinion on that, since right now I’m still assuming we just have our pick at around 22-24 and 4 picks in the second round in the 30s and then again very late. The surefire guys are gone by then, and the rest is really just playing lottery with some Euros and guys who might or might not pan out.
I think Rubio won’t come out in 09 (he will complete his contract first) and ESPN is just keeping him in the mock lotteries to keep things interesting and click rates higher. Rudy could tell KP more about that with one short phone call behind the scenes, which is a distinct advantage :)
Brandon is one of those quiet assassins. - Chris Paul
My weakness
Is that I just don’t watch NCAA normally, because it sucks, and I didn’t expect us to have a pick worth scouting over like year’s past.
So I honestly have no idea who would be really good for us that is expected to be in the lottery, unlike previous years. And even then, I ain’t Jonny NCAA, I just start paying attention once some people start being expected to be drafted here and there.
Morty
If Rubio were guaranteed I’d do it no matter how much younger it made us.
Now that would truly be a Spanish connection.
He’s the next Steve Nash, and wow.
But with a lottery I don’t know how that’s guaranteed, other than KP having more leverage.

random fact
o’ the day: BE has received 2.78% of its 3.4 million unique visits within the last 7 days.
That is absurd.
That is crazy.
I basically log on here first for trade news now. Way to go, BE. By the time my friends find out about those trades by reading Yahoo!, I mock them for being slow and false fans of basketball.
That being said, I’m glad we’re on PST on the west coast, as many trades go down during sleep hours for me to read about when I wake up. This morning, I was stunned when there was nothing reported (except for Zach getting punished).
Awesome
1. Random facts always win
2. How did that Blazer team even win 25 games
3. The Celtic poster is probably a native from a country that got embarassed by Rudy in the Olympics. (Comments were all for Rudy obv.)
Your Rudy theory may be right on!
Plus Rudy is better looking that most of the guys in Boston (not that I’m an expert in that sort of thing).

Could somebody do a statistical analysis...
on what refresh rate is required to ensure that I will be the first person to find out about the next blockbuster trade? I have apparently been clicking refresh faster than my monitor’s physical refresh rate and have created a small vortex on my desk. I just lost my coffee cup and 3 or 4 fritos to whatever alternate universe is on the other side.

You should wake up at about 3:00 AM and then start. It’s not even the last day. You need to get up at 8:00 AM Eastern time if you’re going to be maniacal about it.

Another reason to hate the homeless
I was bussing home and a guy up front kept kicking people and yelling at them as they went by. After a while the bus driver kicked him off and everyone applauded. He yelled, “If any of you get off the bus, I’ll kick your a-word.”
I got off the next stop and ran an errand. It was quick so I was waiting at the bus and the crazy guy walked up to me and got real close to my ear because I was listening to my iPod. He said to me he said, “Where is Foodland?” Is said, “I think it’s….” And before I could finish he said, “Shut the hell up.” I said, “Whaaa..” And he said, “I said to shut the f-word up.” He was like six inches from my face, I had my iPod in my hand and my glasses on. He flinched, then I flinched, then he flinched again. I wasn’t sure if he was going to punch me or I should punch him. I just stared at him and gave him the stink eye, then I did a little move like I was going to punch him, he flinched again, then walked away. It was really strange.

Just FYI I called the Honolulu PD yesterday and reported your innapropriate use of 911 and sent them a link about your mistreatment of that homeless lady and they assured me they never recieved any such call… so from now on I refrain from believing anything you say… (just fyi, I wouldn’t really do that. Did I getcha?)

Pondering on todays junk
I’d like to know why all those strange facts have to end with an EXCLAMATION point. I mean, yea, they are kinda strange, but WOW! strange?
I’m probably just bitter cuz when I posted a rather unusual fact recently about the first moving sidewalk, the response was negligible at best, and if I’m not mistaken, somewhat needling.

to me it felt like when someone tells you a joke, and you don’t think its funny, but they do, so the keep at you to laugh at it because they think it is hilarious.

as I recall
it was about a group of people that worshiped moving sidewalks. I found the comment refreshing and amusing (not your original one, but the comment about the people worshipping the sidewalk). Also on a side note….I like to run on them in the airport and get up to about a million miles an hour and pretend to be the “office linebacker”. PS I hope to one day see Tom in an airport
