Junk Drawer 2/9/09/ and 2/10/09 - The Narwhal Edition!

Where in the wide world of Sports is today's Junk Drawer? I was all ready to post something on it, and couldn't find it, this made me angry, and when I get angry, I get eccentric. I also stole tomorrow's Junk Drawer out of spite.
I am obsessed with Narwhals, they are the greatest animal that was ever born. They are kind of like manatees, which as you know is the cow of the sea, but they are whales.. and they have a tremendous horn/tusk which I would buy on the black market for a good price, would probably make a good cane.
I meandered over to Bright Side of The Sun and to my surprise I saw that the fine folks at Golden State of Mind had one upped my fanpost about Portland trading for Shaq, and made one about Golden State trading for Amare, and even used an exclamation point in the fanpost title(a total blog no-no)!! So, I believe it is now time for us Bedgers to go and post the crap outta my post and show those Golden State fans that we are the true invaders of BSoTS. Post stuff like, "This trade is Narwhalerific!". Or don't, both options are equally effective.
So now seriously, aren't Narwhals terrific?

Can the time machine really effect our future?

If you used to trade a lot with one partner, and they always got the better of you because you don't know what you're doing, then you're right, you would be better off not trading with them any more."

I had a dream about a Narwhal one time.
I was fishing on the Pacific Ocean and all of a sudden I had a really strong pull on my line. As I wrestled with the line for seemingly forever I finally pulled in a baby Narwhal. Unfortunately as I pulled it out, it stabbed me in the chest and I died on the spot. Ever since then, I have a newfound fear of Narwhals. Justifiably so I would say.

Narwhals freaking rule. Remember the Nautilus, the nuclear sub in Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea”? That’s right, it was shaped like a narwhal. Although you’d be hard pressed to use its tusk for a cane, as they range (on an adult narwhal) from seven to ten feet in length.

When I was going to marry my wife, I asked her parents for sheep, gold, and land. So at our rehearsal dinner they gave me a small stuffed lamb plush toy, some earrings and a glass jar of dirt. Oh, they are real jokers, my inlaws.
by RDreamer on Feb 9, 2009 8:55 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
That is an awesome way to keep your promise
Somehow the glass jar of dirt sent my mind wandering and reminded me of Scott Adam’s book “God’s Debris” (more well-known as the creator of the Dilbert comic strips). In the chapter on “holy lands” he ponders what exactly makes holy land holy.
“What makes a holy land holy?” he asked.
“Well, usually it’s because some important religious event took place there.”
“What does it mean to say that something took place in a particular location when we know that the earth is constantly in motion, revolving on its axis and orbiting the sun? And we’re in a moving galaxy that is part of an expanding universe. Even if you had a spaceship and could fly anywhere, you can never return to the location of a past event. There would be no equivalent of the past location because location depends on your distance from other objects, and all objects in the universe would have moved considerably by then.”
“I see your point, but on earth the holy places keep their relationship to other things on earth, and those things don’t move much," I said.
"Let’s say you dug up all the dirt and rocks and vegetation of a holy place and moved it someplace else, leaving nothing but a hole that is one-mile deep in the original location. Would the holy land now be the new location where you put the dirt and rocks and vegetation, or the old location with the hole?”
“I think both would be considered holy,” I said, hedging my bets.
“Suppose you only took the very top layer of soil and vegetation from the holy place, the newer stuff that blew in or grew after the religious event occurred thousands of years ago. Would the place you dumped the topsoil and vegetation be holy?”
“That’s a little trickier,” I said. “I’ll say the new location isn’t holy because the topsoil that you moved there isn’t itself holy, it was only in contact with holy land. If holy land could turn anything that touched it into more holy land, then the whole planet would be holy.”
The old man smiled. "The concept of location is a useful delusion when applied to real estate ownership, or when giving someone directions to the store. But when it is viewed through the eyes of an omnipotent God, the concept of location is absurd.
While we speak, nations are arming themselves to fight for control of lands they consider holy. They are trapped in the delusion that locations are real things, not just fictions of the mind. Many will die."
Really interesting little book, worth reading and owning.

Wow. Who knew Scott Adams could be so profound.
I always grudgingly liked Dilbert because I thought for sure Adams had a spy in my workplace, he was so often spot on. I guess humorists can be philosphers too. I’ll look for that book.

About 10 million termites, lots of crazy beetles and such, and one huge looooong centipede. Went right into the fire, so i wasn’t to worried. My god it was scary though.

My wife and I were given a free piano (long story)
and we figured that as a gesture of niceness we would give the person who gave us the piano a small gift. I had seen a guy at Saturday Market who had some preserved spiders and since the giver of the piano likes spiders we decide to give her that. So we head down to the market and buy a spider that I think is a tarantula. While we are finishing the transaction the seller tells us that it is not a tarantula, but a camel spider. In response to my wife asked why it is called a camel spider and are told that they do something really uncomfortable to camels and that he would rather not talk about it. So we walk back to our apartment freaked out that the only thing between us and an apparent camel-killing spider is a small box and a plastic baggie. We get home and put the baggie on the floor, but you could see the outline of the spider through the baggie which was unsettling. We ended up being so freaked out that we put the bag in other box and taped it shut. Even then I had nightmare of waking up and find that the spider had escaped and was someplace in the apartment lurking and waiting to strike as if I were an unsuspecting camel.

Kappa
It is a Japanese troll, and it posts comments on maillists that you simply have to flame … actually, no.
It really is a Japanese version of the troll, and, like the European troll, it lives at places where roads or paths cross streams (or where streams cross roads), and is very dangerous. Unlike European trolls, however, kappa have two endearing qualities. First, although dangerous, kappa are unfailingly polite. Second, the kappa’s powers are related to a pool of water that lies in a bowl-like depression on top of its skull. If that water drains out, the kappa is like Superman in the presence of Kryptonite.
So, when confronted with a kappa, the trick is to say or to do something that will cause the polite creature to bow deeply to you (as is a Japanes custom), at which point the water will drain out, and the kappa will lose its strength. A short summary
The question for the reader is, then, which current NBA player most resembles a kappa?

You could probably find a way to replace Miami with Golden State or another team, but I couldn’t make it work without the fourht team. I like getting Grant Hill and Hinrich, I think that’s our ideal move.

No
Next year, Hinrich makes $9.5M, the following year he makes $9M, and the final year he makes $8M. That’s $26.5M over 3 years. There are much worse contracts that we could trade for. That’s not an unreasonable contract.

I dunno It's kinda fuzzy math
I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Speculating on monster trades is sort of like trading in conspiracy theories.
This seems more realistic.
Portland gets: Caron Butler, Bobby Jackson
Washington gets: RLEC, Sergio
Sacramento gets: Outlaw, DeShawn Stevenson and one of Portland’s stockpiled 2nd round draft picks
Why Portland would do it: Caron Butler is exactly the upgrade we need at SF. Bobby Jackson gives us a playoff-savvy veteran in the backcourt for THIS season (his contract expires at season’s end). Also solves the Sergio/Rex conundrum.
Why Washington would do it: financial reasons; Nick Young could possibly fill Butler’s scoring void; Sergio would be a solid backup once Arenas returns.
Why Sacto would do it: Bobby Jackson has no real purpose on a team this bad; DeShawn Stevenson can play defense; and of course Travis Outlaw is a good player at an even better value, allowing the Kings to have either an excellent 6th man or the necessary piece in place so they can deal Salmons.

scoring off the bench. Basically, the Outlaw role.
I for one don’t believe Martell, at least what we’ve seen of him, is a starter for a bonafide contending team. Now, if he turns out to fulfill all of his promise, then we deal with that situation. But that’s down the road a year or two.

Better question:
What do we do with Martell and Nicolas?

*sigh*
I finally had to do it. I changed my settings so there are now 50 freakin’ fanposts listed on the main page. We’re getting 20+ new ones per day. I don’t even want to count how many are related to trades. . . .

I've had 50 since before the SB nation update.
I wouldn’t be surprised when the trade deadline passes that the trade talk continues.

It'll go down
It always does. The trade and the draft are some of the worst times here. Probably some of the worst pain and suffering Blazers fans have ever had to endure.

They continued on for about a week after the deadline last season.

What gets me
Is that I start to not like people because of all that junk. Everyone who starts a fanpost or paragraph with “look” or “so” instantly gets a -1 from me. I think it’s the arrogance that bugs me because so many of those folks think that EVERYONE agrees with them and they are 100% correct. I like it better when I just disliked the stat guys who feel that way.

Yeah
The sidebar sucks today. I was going to write today’s junk drawer as a safe haven from trade talk. I know this place too well and a bunch of guys would bring up trade talk just to spite me. I was thinking we could make it like the hidden rooms in Anne Frank’s father’s office building. Then when people talked about trades we could call them Schutzstaffel Oberscharführer Karl Silberbauer. I think it’s kind of catchy.
