5/14: Please Junk this Flag Drawer

 

Last time I posted a JD, nobody bothered to write.  Of course, it was spring break or thereabouts, but still... now its the off-season, and we don't have any basketball to discuss until November.  Preseason--OK, September.  Summer league?  OK, OK... August.  Free agency?  July, I got you.  The draft? The NBA Finals?

Damn.  Writing about this sport is hard work.  No wonder those lazy sportswriters prefer to cover the NFL draft over the NBA playoffs...

As a Suggested Topic for this JD, we can propose designs for a new semi-un-official Blazers Edge Flag, that bedgers can proudly fly from the roofs of their Subarus.  Or we can just do the usual, and include as many witty pop-cultural references as possible--and still not have enough for a Bill Simmons column.

My wife is now demanding I go to bed--something about having to take the kids to school in the morning.

Poll
Does Blazers Edge need a semi-un-official flag?
Yes. A banner would demonstrate our esprit d corpse, or however you spell it.
19 votes
No. That's a stupid idea. If you design a flag I will burn it to ashes.

what?

no signature? how do we know this is you?! Is this part two of the bodysnatching case?!!?

By the way, am I just a twitter fail? I tried twitter humor—TWICE—and didn’t even get a laugh out of you. First I copied and pasted your “don’t copy and paste without citing” tweet….and then when you sent like 200,421 million retweets today I retweeted your “Sorry for the million retweets”…….tweet……………………………………………..

and no one laughed.

Hey Tom, how come you stopped doing the PD

Profile of the Day?

For today’s, I nominate Rudyculous

He only has one comment….

Man i hope Bayless is good….

because he is reminding me way to much of Telfair…

Quite funny when you consider that Henry’s statistical breakdown pops Telfair’s name up as a comparison.

For the record, I agree more with Spyder Ryder, that you can’t really compare the two right now. But still, interesting that the Rudyculous cat only commented once and that’s what he said.

So, I can read something I wrote a loooong time ago, and laugh at it like I didn’t think of it myself.

Anyone have some good sites for stats

I couldn’t get more that 15 years at ESPN for the point diff post I put up (was trying to get at least 20 years). They have 17 years there but the last 2 years had 00 for most of the stats. I thought PoliSam or someone had 40 years of data for a post one day???
I’ve tried a few sites and I’m either looking in the wrong place or the data doesn’t exist on those sites.

For some reason I never thought Dwight Howard

would be a guy who would pull the “give me the ball” move in a press conference. Really disappointing. That guy is starting to buy in to his hype and that’s never a good thing.

Especially when he has no moves

GIVE ME THE BALL AND WATCH ME DO THE BRICKIEST JUMP HOOK SINCE ODEN’S FIRST JUMP HOOK.

What does he expect to do if given the ball over and over, especially in crunch time? Even Shaq wouldn’t get the ball in crunch time a lot, since he can’t hit FTs.

Oh well, he’s young and very talented so it’s tough to be perfect.

I’ve been busy with school and sadly had to make a sacrifice in time devoted to BE. Thanks for thinking about me… that’s nice to hear. Everythings going well. I’ve been rehearsing rhyme schemes in anticipating the long overdue poetry contest… eh hmmm… I hope you are well.

To tell you the truth, it feels much quieter than the last few months of the season. We’d go through 50 fanposts/day at one point.

you know the rest of that! You’re probly spot on about that, tho. But many of those fanposts were duplicitous rants and unneccessary, like the ferverous trade fanposts before that deadline.
There’s still been plenty of quality feedback re: the player analysis, and without alot of time to participate, it seems like alot to me. Did I ever ask you about the genesis of your ID?

Did I ever ask you about the genesis of your ID?

It’s actually pretty simple… My name really is Tim, so I’ve had the nickname for many years. The South Park came along and caused it to get even more cemented… I worked at a place where I had my official e-mail address, but timmay@ was aliased to it, so people often mailed me at that address instead. At this point, it’s just stuck.

Every once in a while someone asks why I stole it from South Park… I always explain that I had it first, so I want them to give it back.

Timmay!

The reason I asked is because back in the day (High School) there was a morning radio show on KMJK FM107.5 called the Thomas and Ross show. It was the talk of everybody’s pre-class locker hangout morning ritual. Anywho… they did this little skit called “The Amblin Al Show” (an obvious parody of Ramblin Rod cartoon show) and it featured not just Amblin Al but “Little Timmy.” Poor little Timmy was Amblin Al’s sidekick and all-around stooge punching boy. Somehow my buddy Kyle decided I was little Timmy to his Amblin Al and would always greet me (and still does) with “TIMMAY!” For the longest time I suspected you were Amblin Al.

Ok, so I've never played WOW.

In fact, I’ve never even seen it played, but apparently I’m in the minority. I was standing outside an office that was being remodeled a couple of days ago, and there were five guys talking about playing Warcraft… construction workers.

Then there’s the time I’m in the Sherries late night with the hot emo/goth girl waitress. She’s actually pretty cool cause she gets it and she’s really smart, so we start talking and the banters natural, and fun, till I add curiosity about this homemade patch she has on her bib. It’s a WOW reference, or her character or whatever. My disapproval is obvious and we return to our roles, I, a hungry customer, her a disinterested waitress.

Last night, I found out that one of my closest friends has a level 47 mage or whatever. He started a couple of months ago when his scedual left him awake and alone after bar hours.

I could write a book about the different people I’ve known who WOW, how I found out, and my reaction. It seems WOW is like death, it touches every background, every culture, every religion, every style, discriminates against no one.

So how plays WOW?

Is there any one trying to repair the damage to their life that their escape into WOW has caused?

Should I try WOW?

Does anybody play Second Life?

I don't play WOW

Video games are for me like booze is for recovering alcoholics. Did the 12-step program, no longer touch the stuff.

That said, I always find it interesting the amount of money people apparently make by acquiring assets and such in the WOW world, and selling it in the real world. I’m sure you’ve all seen spam for “wow gold” and other such things—though I’m curious: Do they have “wow viagra”?

i want to relapse (i used to own a EA arts USA Basketball game for Sega Genesis) but the controls for new games are too complicated and the systems and games too expensive.

that's why children shouldn't be playing role playing games.

most come with a warning wether they be books or video/pc versions.

I take that back…just checked my games cover…. Teen animated blood mild language and violence…. but I don’t play wow, it’s too dull and rather boring.

You want a waste of time and totally addictive…play final fantasy xi on-line.

May as well sent me to rehab for that…..it’s grossly involving.

yeh, i hate WoW....i don't get what makes it fun

it’s mindless. you run around doing pointless jobs and there’s not a lot of skill involved. It’s basically just a who-can-waste-the-most-time contest. Whoever works the “hardest” gets the “coolest” character.

Wooopeeee.

If I’m going to play a video game, I want competition. Skill. For me, that’s a sports game or a first person shooter. Not just a time waster like WOW.

Plus WOW graphics are sucktacular.

DIRTY MIDWESTERNERS!!!!!!!!!!! Stealing our Thunder!

from Yahoo/Forbes

Nearly a decade ago, after making a donation to a volunteer-run radio station in Austin, Texas, local librarian Red Wassenich was asked why he chose to support a broadcaster with a penchant for playing strange crooner music. “Because it keeps Austin weird,” he said.

Since then, the phrase “Keep Austin Weird” has become the city’s official rallying cry against the establishment of large chain stores near mom-and-pop shops—and, more generally, for maintaining the city’s eccentric feel.
