Junk Drawer - 3/10/09 - Bringing the Pain Edition

Email
PrintI really did not want to write today’s Junk Drawer. I normally like to only have one post in the last 50. I just thought I needed to say a few things before I bring the pain.
I plan on breaking the least commented Junk Drawer record and the most commented Junk Drawer record. I am not sure how long it will take, what I am certain of, is that I will succeed. Before I attempt to break the records, I thought it would be prudent to throw down a few of ground rules.
Maybe this will need to be put to a vote. Here are the guidelines I propose:
- To be eligible the Junk Drawer should be posted between 10:30 PM PST the prior evening and Noon PST. This will keep someone from posting a Junk Drawer at 11:30 PM at the end of the day to break the fewest comments record.
- Official comments should close 72 hours after the Junk Drawer was published. This will keep an inflammatory comment posted in an old Junk Drawer from setting off a flame war and breaking the most commented Junk Drawer record.
- "Updating" the Junk Drawer to keep it at the top and as a means to generate more comments should be discouraged. I do not think it should be outright against the rules because on the crazy days, there could be a need to update just to keep the Junk Drawer in the top 10.
- No reccing your own Junk Drawer with alternate profiles. This probably cannot be tracked but I feel it grants integrity to the record and follows the spirit of fair competition.
- Commenting in your own Junk Drawer is fine, but what should be discouraged is carrying on a conversation with yourself just to boost your comment total.
There might be some loopholes I left open. If you have other suggestions, please add them in the comment section and the Junk Drawer Advisory Committee will vote on any additions to the Junk Drawer Bylaws.
In the spirit of fair play, here are all the profiles I have: tominhawaii, Dragline, and DraftTylerHansbrough. I signed up for SergioFWB and did not renew it when SBNation changed formats. I also had RudyFTW but I lost it in a high stakes poker game to a fellow BEdger. I will most likely break both records with tominhawaii.

I think to break the record it needs to be
posted in mid to late August. Seemed like those were the ones with the fewest comments. Sorry to add to this one when you are trying for a record. :-)
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.
I concur.
the only record possible during the season is the most posts.
And for that, I recommend we discuss Terri Schiavo. Comment gold mine right there!
I do believe in Greg, I do believe in Greg. I do I do I do I do I do believe in Greg.
Yeah
I was going to go for the record by starting a rant about gays and lesbians having their own phonebook. Not good for the environment if you ask me. I figured that wasn’t a big deal but it was sure to get people to say something dumb that would generate lots of comments. The problem is that they would probably all get deleted.

I once thought that the offseason would be the best time to go for the greatest JD
I even spelled out what needed to happen (be after the draft but before training camps, happen like 2 days after something big happened, its a Friday or work is super busy), but then a couple days later a JD that was a credible threat to the record appeared out of the blue. So you never can tell.
I think there is a chance of sneaking one by on a real busy day

I have an important change that needs to be implimented immediatly
It should be called the Junk Drawer Competition Committee. I can’t believe you made this kind of mistake.
Plus I nominate Bow4Meow as the new head of the JDCC because of his track record as a “fair and balanced” poster and commenter ….oh and cause he is super impartial

I second that motion
"I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a
could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be
a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might-
have-been has never been, but a has was once an are." -- Milton Berle
"fair and balanced"
Does that mean I’m the Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity of the Blazers Edge…. very sneaky (but hilarious) slipping that in with quotation marks

one more rule to add to the junk drawer
any potential wins are invalidated if you specifically state in that post “I’m going for the record.”
92 did it fair and square. So should the next record breaker (if there be one)

twice this year, contestants have lost the "you can't possibly lose"
Standard Appliance game at the Rose Garden
I was afraid the contestant would lose last night and then we’d somehow lose the game as a result. Some bad karma or something.
but she won her fridge and all was right in the world, at least until late in the 3rd quarter.
(So, yes, appliances are a-okay in the junk drawer)
Yeah
I plan on reading most of 92’s Junk Drawers before I attempt his record. He’s lucky if he can get more than 50 comments.

If there is a gay gene, there's got to be a drag queen gene too
Like I’ve said from the get go, he’s more womanly than gayily.
We the following support and love LaMar Odom: tominhawaii, Timmay!, Blazer, Nick Van Excellent, pxilpooshr, Sabonis4Ever, amlmart1, Norsktroll, Honka Playboy, rmcdougall, bow4meow, & 50backflips.
One more important guideline: ban Timbo.
His “never say anything in one comment that you can say in ten” style ruins the count.
Have you looked at his comment numbers recently?
Timbo presently has 15825 comments across all of the SBN, more than any one single username that I could find on BlazersEdge. Granted, he probably could have said just as much in a mere 6000 comments, but it still is impressive.
For the record, if you add up all of his alter personnas, Tom is the most prolific commentor.
Give us the breakdown, tingeyga. Who are the top commenters?

Gameday threads
Especially last year.
Obviously I post a lot, but gameday threads really beef up the ol’ post stats.
I’ve only took part in maybe 5 gameday threads during the game this year, but when I do, it’s like a 100 posts for a game or more I’d bet. It really adds up.
Oh, and I’m a huge loser, which is a big part of my success. I also hate to sleep and don’t need much of it.
Mortimer
That explains it.
I stay away from Gameday threads. Too much going on to read and respond to while still actually watching the game.
I'm out in the evenings selling drugs and whatnot
So I’ve been mostly DVRing every game and watching later on.
I got too much to do, it’s unlucky if I watch the game before finishing what I gotta do.
100 posts for a gameday thread is probably way low. Hundreds for a game is much more likely just from me alone, cause I get blabbin’.

Considering many call him a bust and injury prone and never amount to anything. If he plays one more game this regular season, he will have played one more game than any time in bynums career, the one non-playing year excepted. Yet NO ONE in LA complains about Bynum being injury prone, all they ever do is talk about how they can’t wait until he comes back.
I think some of it is that Portland remembers Bowie, and secondly that donkeys always REMIND us of that when they talk trash and it angers us that Oden cant prove them wrong until he is healthy. - GreatOden'sRaven

Curse You Dwayne Wade
On the night we pound the living snot out of the Lakers, giving them the worst beating they have taken all season by a country mile, you have to go and nail not one, not two, but THREE buzzer-beating 3s in a single game—the first two to send the game to OT and double-OT, the third for the win. Oh, and score 48 points.
What’s the top story on ESPN, on CNNSI, on Fox, etc? Dwayne Wade. Dwayne Wade. Dwayne Wade.
As punishment, I shall refuse to put the Y before the A in his first name throughout this post. His parents must be morons—only complete and utter idiots would spell “Dwayne” as D-W-Y-A-N-E.
I guess I’ll have to take solace in the fact that el Heat needed DWAYNE Wade’s heroics to beat a lackluster bunch like da Bulls, and that Miami never seems to beat anybody any good. Oh, and in the fact that just Roy killed DWYANE Wade last Thanksgiving weekend…

Well now
that I’ve helped in my little way capsize the least commented effort, I’ll chip in towards the most commented one. So we had a great discussion in my Civil Society class with regards to the following hypothetical.
A university-affiliated medical school is offered an 100 million dollar donation by RJ Reynolds to investigate maternal and child health. Should the university accept the donation?
Are there any strings attached?
If not, take the money, and give a speech saying "thanks for the money, [bleep]s. Then dedicate it to research on the deleterious effects of smoking.
There is no charge for awesomeness. Or attractiveness.
by EngineerScotty on Mar 10, 2009 2:24 PM PDT up reply actions
That's sort of the question
deliberately left vague by my professor — to stimulate the debate, I think. As a psychology major who is highly skeptical of research funded by pharmaceutical companies, I feel like any positive research that came out of the donation would get scoffed at once savvy readers got to that little endnote that said “funded by RJ Reynolds”. I think in the abstract if you’re willing to take money from a company that’s earned that money by peddling an addictive product that kills, then you’re doing a disservice to the spirit of your institutional mission.
Of course, that’s all well and good in the abstract. In the real world, I’m sure we’d (being my school) would politely ask them about the extent to which they wanted to help shape the use of that money right after we scraped our jaws off the table.
by BlazersOrBust on Mar 10, 2009 2:35 PM PDT up reply actions
Perhaps a blind trust?
Take the money, put it in an account.
Distribute it to researchers who will have no idea where their funding came from.

Considering many call him a bust and injury prone and never amount to anything. If he plays one more game this regular season, he will have played one more game than any time in bynums career, the one non-playing year excepted.

I think some of it is that Portland remembers Bowie, and secondly that donkeys always REMIND us of that when they talk trash and it angers us that Oden cant prove them wrong until he is healthy. - GreatOden'sRaven
Anyone watching Utah vs Pacers?
For all of the hemming and hawing about our road record, the Jazz or worse.
The Pacers have proven to be able to beat anyone in the NBA on any given night; I hope this is one of those nights.

Hmmmmmm
I got the Pacers feed on League Pass, and they advertised the Blazers coming into town by saying it’s Oden’s first game back in Indianapolis.
I hope their docs know something ours don’t!
its the pacers,

If I knew why they are always so bad on the road I could predict if that is possible
Judging them by their history over the last few years, it’d mean they suddenly changed their play on the road out of nowhere.
They SHOULD have no problem with sub-.500 teams though. I can’t see why they do what they do.
I'll let someone else fanshot, or post 12 fanposts as the case may be
but Odom was suspended 1 game for leaving the bench. The NBA got this one exactly right, I’d say.
good
if they didn’t suspend him for that, it would have made their suspension of those suns guys after the horry hip-check a total farce.

That can't be right
Odom SWORE he didn’t leave the bench!
My trust in the ever consistent and honorable Lamar Odom is shattered.

Billy Elliott is that Irish movie about the kid who becomes a dancer. The kid was recently in the smash hit sensation JUMPER, starring Anakin Skywalker.

My entire apartment is decorated with JUMPER posters
The 3 American posters, the Italian release, Germany, Northern Africa, a poster announcing that release of Doug Liman’s Directors Cut on DVD, which is rumored to feature even more jumping action…
It’s a “Jumper Motif”, if you will.
I wake up to my Japanese "JUMPER" poster every morning
I never thought I’d love a movie as much as Jumper ever again, until I saw PUSH.
Troy Murphy is top ten in rebound and 3 point percentage
The last guy to do that? Larry Bird.
That makes Troy Murphy the best player since Larry Bird.

God probably doesn’t care if one has a gun
Glory with a gun isn’t normal…i don’t think anyway

'Round the league...
the Jazz defeat the Pacers 112-100 in Indy.
Mavericks beat the Suns 122-11. Phoenix is now 5 games out of the final playoff spot.
San Antone beat the Robertkittens.
And in what may go down as the WTF Game of the Year—it’s Clippers 69, Cavaliers 52 after 3 down in Staples Center. Did LeBron fail to notice which LA team he was playing?
(WTF = What? Technical foul?)

Z-bo hit his 20 and 12, and probably went to sleep after that…

I think I hate him
I keep waiting for him to pull a Hilary Swank. His body language is so feminine that it freaks me out to the extreme. It’s not like he’s a man acting like a woman or a gay man who is effeminate; it’s like he is a woman pretending to be a man and she’s not fooling me.
I don’t like Danny Gokey either. I think I’m going to spend this season rooting against those two since they’re the best. I don’t really like anyone on the show, I’m rooting for Jasmine because of Outlaw. This reminds me of season three when Fantasia Barrino won. I didn’t like anyone that season. My wife thinks Adam Lambert could sing the heck out of Run to the Hills. I agree with her, I just wouldn’t want to watch him performing it.

Nice Blake Griffin article in the NYT
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/09/sports/ncaabasketball/09griffin.html?_r=1&th&emc=th
Still not really sold on him, and he is out of reach for the Blazers anyway. But he could make our division harder if he joins OKC.
The over-under
woefully short on either end Tom. Step up your game
