5-25 Memorial Junk Drawer

100_0017_tiny by 92wastheyear on Comment 997 comments

I was wondering what you are all doing in front of the computer on Memorial day. Why are you not driving back from camping like all the other Oregonians. I refuse to go camping on Holidays (like 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor day, MLK, Thanksgiving or Christmas). It is too, too crowded.

Also if, you were to picking a screen name right now ....would you pick the same one you have? Or something new? What would it be? I think I would pick OdenFanBoy...or someting like that ....and then patent it so no one else could use it.

 

Also ...I have heard that Tom is not allowed to create 2 consecutive Junk Drawers ....it is in the BEdge bylaws or something

 

Anyway.....Have at it

Side Weight and Top Weight

are used in bowling balls. For my sandbagging balls, I had the weights reversed. Some bowlers wiped their balls with bowling towels before each stroke to remove the excess oil.

There are actually quite a number of holidays in spring in many European countries, mostly Christian holidays

Next week is Whit Monday, a holiday in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and “unofficially” in France and Italy that creates a long weekend. Recently was Ascension Day. And so on. Catholicism has its flaws, but everyone likes holidays. Occasionally politicians cancel one, but they can always expect massive outcries.

Camping on holiday weekends

I agree. Too many people defeats the purpose of getting away. I used to go to Detroit Lake but that place is a total zoo anymore. I am going to a family potluck this afternoon at the family lake and maybe do a little board surfing.

My new screenname would be my old standby— bow2kaos. Its a tribute to my dearly departed lovebug -KAOS, and also a play on Shakespeare’s “bow to the absurd.” Fitting?

EasyonSundayMorning

appeals as a name. Following your comment yesterday, I did a practice junk drawer this morning. I also like PortersHuevos, which is the name of the ram that drove me headfirst into a fence post when I got careless and bent over in front of him. After my head stopped ringing, I realized blood was running down both legs.

Easy Junk Drawer

How many of you have old style phonograph records that you still listen to? Considering giving most of mine to the local recycle thrift store, I’m selecting songs to CD. The first keeper today is by Lionel Richie. It reminded that I used to sometimes listen to music while watching the NBA on NBC on Sunday mornings. Would you rather watch NBA Sunday mornings or evenings? Do you watch with the commentators muted, like I still usually do, particularly if Reggie or Jeff … Can you concentrate more intently on the action when you can’t hear the analysts? Are you hoping for Denver/Orlando finals, too?

Since that’s the first time in a long time that I enjoyed Lionel, I decided to
Youtube. (Can youtube be a verb like google?) The Easy version with Lyfe Jennings was appealing, which raises another question: do you often prefer versions of songs by different artists than the original? For example, Bob Dylan has written great songs, but I generally prefer those done by different artists.

When I lived in Portland my favorite Sunday morning activity was bowling solo, doing about 20 games in three hours, before studying or going to work. Besides Bedging, what do you find Easy about Sunday morning?

Question for 92: do you ever pot bowl low score wins, where gutter balls and misses count as strikes and spares?

No

Enjoyed that game when I had the money

You could shoot 700s and never cash.
In Omaha, 61-62, there was a young airman from Chicago, lefty throwing a backup into the high 1/3 pocket, amazingly accurate, about all he’d leave were 4-pins. He lived for no-tap. He’d come into a house, rent some shoes, grab a house ball, and invite himself into money games. You’d see that ugly, lunging, twisting body shot and know, at least at first, that he was just lucky. I saw him release one shot from the left corner in the place I worked, when no one else was there. Earl Anthony smooth. Made me curious.

After I’d been in Prineville for a few years, and decided to bowl again, I swung an inside/out backup in league. Really would bite when it got out to the dry boards. Averaged 186 bowling 3 games a week. Hard on the finger joints, but could blow the 5-pin on light hits. Torch Carter drilled that ball. Shot some 690s with it, but reverted to hook for out-of-town tournaments.

by OBJuan72 on May 25, 2009 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I worked in a bowling alley in Prineville for short time

back in the early to mid 90’s. I worked the snack counter for $5 an plus tips and free practice. Back in those days I would just bowl a couple of leagues and practice a little. I averaged about mid 190’s for 10 years straight without practicing much. I once buckled down and shot 205 for the year…..and promptly got smoked every time I would bowl a handicap tourney. I went back to my usual routine. lol

In the old car dealership building

with interesting owners, chuck still and … ?
My average drifted down into the low 170s, just bowling sixth man, bowling inconsistly from both sides. Left knee increasingly unstable, starting from crackback in Jesuit/Reynolds football game. Then could still get some scratch 600s in tournaments. Haven’t bowled much since a tubing crash on Hoodoo fifteen years ago. In Portland never bowled more than two seasons back to back, working swing shift and going to school. More years not bowling than in leagues. Bowled mostly in Steve Metcalf’s Sandy Lanes. (I use the two balls now for rollers when I’m moving big rocks.)

Blazers edge

has to be one of the most trafficked b-ball blogs. I have been checking out some other sites the last couple of weeks. Most of their fanposts are older than limburger. Many populated by hosts posts predominately. This place is a real live site.

My favorite spot on the oregon coast is short sands beach at Oswald West. Would be packed out this weekend. Had some great times catchin waves with buddies and brothers there. Alas it is getting to be indoor season in Tucson. This last 10day we had a record high 103 and a record low 68 (very rare drizzly day). What I really miss about the northwest is a swimming hole in any direction. Growing up in Longview we used to tube the Coweeman and Kalama rivers a couple of times every summer. We used to take our snorkle gear and a couple of cans of cat food and catch crawdads on the Coweeman, boil em on shore and grub all afternoon.

I thought of using FALLOUT as a screen name. Had some fun playing the game.

Henry is funny
In this setting, Rubio’s five-plus turnover nights are unfortunate.
Under many NBA coaches — always fearing for their high-paying jobs — such nights would end ugly. One or two of those failed lobs could get Rubio to the bench faster than you can say “Sergio Rodriguez.”

Mhm, does that sound like Memphis, Clippers, Sacramento, OKC, or Portland?
The people around Ricky Rubio are eager for him to end up with an NBA team with a long-term plan in place. Stable ownership, good coaching staff, and opportunities to play without the pressure to produce immediately. The people around Ricky Rubio are smart — because bright though his star may shine, Rubio is like one of those wines that you purchase now, but wait a few years before enjoying.

Even if we hate the franchise stealers, I think OKC and Portland fit that checklist quite well.

Oh yeah, things like that is what Henry insinuates when describing his current partners. His forwards are guys like Jagla who is literally a poor-man’s Nowitzki and the mentioned Jerome Moiso. Rudy got many of his nice alley-oop attempts and fast break dunks on YouTube thanks to Ricky. I think he will need a full season and then maybe another half to really adapt to the NBA speed, but combine him with a crew of top players and in no time his steals and passes are all over game recaps and SportsCenter.

That's the thing

Even if it sucks for a year or so, if the ceiling is greatness than ya do it and suffer for now.

Oden, LMA, Roy… Roy is Roy right now, LMA is becoming LMA but could use a Rubio to really help him grow, and Oden ain’t Oden yet anyways— and he may be the key. We might be waitng for championship contention one way or another, so suffering through Rubio’s growing pains (if it is indeed worth it) ain’t a big deal, in the long run.

Rubio is a guy who will greatly benefit from having elite athletes running and catching passes next to him.

I do worry about the negatives Henry brings up, but I also know I wouldn’t worry much if we somehow got him, because that means KP loves him and he will be the God of the PGs.

Just imagine how good Gordon would have been if he wouldn't be a Clipper :)

What you likely will have to live with for a while is your PG dribbling into big athletes for a turnover and “creative” passes flying into the second row and against the shins of your center for a while. You think Rudy sees things on the floor his teammates don’t anticipate? You have seen nothing yet. Rubio seems to have an amazing ability to watch the floor 360 and throw needle passes in a way only Nash and Kidd currently can. Paul is great, but his passes aren’t even that dangerous. That can drive a coach crawling up the wall, but in the case of Rubio you would really have to let him learn for a while. So as much as I would like to see him on the Blazers and finding some balance between how he currently plays and what Nate could teach him, maybe growing with the core of Sacramento (depending on who will be the coach) or OKC or even the Clippers looks attractive to him.

by Norsktroll on May 25, 2009 12:44 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

We're too mature a team now

to provide on-the-job training for another rookie starter. I would make an exception for Rubio only if he has a Chris Paul-like learning curve. I’d rather see us build on what we have with a veteran like Hinrich, if we must upgrade at the point, than change direction and get younger.

I really hope the Kings land Rubio. He would be a great fit there.

I'm thinking about a post on point guards and the time they need to learn

CP3 came on a team that sucked with the mighty Speedy Claxton and Moochie Norris as his competition, so they didn’t run much of a risk to let their high pick play. It was the same for many of the great current point guards. Except Billups who struggled mightily at first and was bounced from team to team, and maybe Nash who needed a while but had fiercer competition (notably Kidd).

If you do post on that, Norsktroll,

look at how quickly players at other positions develop, too. I’m guessing that there won’t be much difference.

I disagree here… generally, wings improve quickly. The star wings of today (Wade, LeBron, Roy, Kobe) were all very good by their second year. The great point guards not named Chris Paul (Rondo, Harris, Billups, Parker, Williams) weren’t great at first.

Sergio/Bayless performed just as well in the regular season as Blake/Sergio… replacing Blake with a young guy wouldn’t have a huge effect, judging from the 12-games that Blake was hurt.

but not so well in the last few games before Steve returned.

That game looks SO GOOD

They still don’t have a co-op mode, which was by far my biggest gripe about the first game, but now they’re incorporating “mini-missions” that couldn’t make it past the cutting room floor but were too sweet to not include that are apparently co-op.

I didn't care much about the story in Halo. Call of Duty 4 (the predecessor to this game) had a very cool story though.

I’m not a militant guy, but playing a badass for a change was interesting.

Storytelling in the top games gets better and better. Once it was Riven, now it’s games like GTA IV and these.

But it had really good cliffhangers at the end of each mission. Both Halo 2 and Max Payne 2 had the lamest stories.

Same with Splinter Cell

both the original and the first couple of sequels combined a killer storyline with the ability to skulk in the shadows for love and country. Completely agree about the Halo storyline. I play Halo 3 all the time online and love the game, but couldn’t care less about the story…thought the random appearance of the flood didn’t make too much sense.

i don’t like holidays dedicated to war and veterans…. we should remember these people all the time, and never forget the horror of war for those vets.. also, who exactly won the civil war? whatever…

i’m about to go up the gorge a bit for some fun in the sun.. i haven’t done anything of consequence this weekend so far (that would be obvious if you were paying attention)..

i love my handle and have been using it for years in various online arenas…. but I could be convinced to go with Mrs. Fernandez or even RudysBabysMama (sigh.. we’d have dreamy kids… )

now i’m going to go pretend to be 14 and write my name with Fernandez as the last name like 20,000 times (in cursive in a trapper keeper, of course)!!!

it is also amazing that this place “dead” still pulled together two weekend JD posts each worth nearly 300 posts. If I had the time, it would be amusing to see the network analysis. Identifying the hubs in these conversations that produce the most interactions.

She reminds me of my youngest sister (20yo) if my sister liked/knew basketball or even cared about the Blazers and was not my sister.

i generally consider myself lucky when i am only treated condescendingly in those situations… they certainly don’t hear what i am saying…

so i am not entirely sure why i’d still put it out there when i’m here.. i guess its just my personality or the place i am in my life.. i’d like to think i’d grow up eventually and know better..

as opposed to random people with a screen name. Bedge night was an awesome way to put faces to a name, but even just knowing if you’re talking to a guy or girl helps. Maybe I’m just weird like that.

And there are girls that know a heckuva lot more about the Blazers (or any topic for that matter) than guys.

although with hair extensions (like the black in the back on the pic above) I still end up doing lots of weird stuff…

but i’m a dedicate blazer fan i swear!!! no turning nug/griz/jazz (are they blue?) for me even if i happen to like blue a lot… even though carmelo was one of the first player i got to watch grow up in my own dome, win us a title, and go on to the nba..

You are better in that regard than Malcolm Gladwell, who can sit in a cafe with Jennifer Aniston talking to him and he only thinks "mhm, I know her from somewhere"

At least D-list celebrities in the US are remotely talented and good enough to fill a TV segment. In most of Europe they are just annoying people you never wanted to see to begin with. Guys like rightly long-forgotten singers and the hairdresser of Chancellor Merkel are considered a celebrity worth inviting to parties and printing stories and photos of in the yellow press.

I remember one time at the London airport, a guy in front of me was getting stared at and a big deal made over him, and I had no idea who he was. He checked in and left, and the counter girl was all aflutter and couldn’t speak for a moment, so I asked who he was.

“Oh, he was a finalist to be on Big Brother. He almost made the show. OH MY GOODNESS, he is so lovely!!”.

(If it wasn’t Big Brother, it was something else, but point being, he wasn’t even on the show! And people were acting like Paul Newman was in line with them).

There seems to be a growing trend of people being famous for being famous here in America, too… or for being friends with someone famous. I do not like this trend to grow.

If LeBron

were being drafted in the NFL, where would he get picked? Definite first-rounder, right?

I feel like at the most elite levels of any professional sport, those guys could probably play other professional sports too if they’d just practiced them more. LeBron in the NFL, Iverson playing soccer, Thierry Henry playing rugby…those guys would have been awesome in those sports, I bet.

It would be like

what the Ravens do with Adalius Thomas — they move him around, blitz him through the center or stunt him, drop him into coverage — except possibly even more freakish. The man weighs 270 pounds and runs like a gazelle. It would be absolutely jaw-dropping to see him run sideline to sideline.

He’d give us vet leadership. He has a great redemption story.

wait nevermind this is just madness, he is way too old to be getting his salary

Lando betrayed his best friend to the Empire! And like a total noob, somehow didn’t anticipate that gee, the Empire just might not abide by the terms of the deal they agreed upon prior to the betrayal. Lando was a schmuck.

I would like to see us make a run at Admiral Ackbar as an assistant coach, however. Imagine what a strategist like him could do with actual resources at his disposal!

Lando entirely redeemed himself over and over again for his betrayal! Sure, he was enticed by the fame and glory and not wanting to be killed parts of going along with the Empire. But how many times since then has he put everything on the line to help the team? Maybe there’s a questionable aspect to the personality, but even KP said that the team could handle a slightly less squeaky clean force now.

but you’re more right. Admiral Ackbar would be a wicked assistant coach.

I don't have US citizenship

The sisters of my father emigrated to Texas and do and I lived in the US and in Vancouver for a while on various visas, so I might be able to get permanent residency somehow either if they vouch for me or over my employer when I would work for a few years in the US. I’m mostly living in Germany at the moment, with a few trips throughout Europe and to the East Coast.

I got involved with the Blazers in 90/91 as a kid just because I liked the team. Maybe I liked just the team colors initially, I don’t know. My family doesn’t really care about basketball, except a cousin who is a Spurs fan :-( I have been to less Blazer games in person than Dave probably as a 12 year old.

To weave our dreams upon and listen to each evening when the lights are low.
To underscore our lunch affair with tenderness and feeling that we’ve come to know.

You’ll swear you’ve heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on.
No need in bringing em back
Cause they’ve never really gone.
Just an old fashioned lunch song
Coming down in three part harmony.
Just an old fashioned lunch song
One I’m sure they wrote for you and me.

If you see a faded sign by the side of the road
it says 15 miles to the… Luuunch Shack! Lunch Shack yeah
I’m headin’ down the Atlanta highway,
lookin’ for the luunch getaway
Heading for the lunch getaway, lunch getaway,
I got me a car, it’s as big as a whale
and we’re headin’ on down
To the Lunch Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money

The Lunch Shack is a little old place
where we can eat together
Lunch Shack baby, the Lunch Shack bay-bee.
Lunch baby, that’s where it’s at,
Ooo lunch baby, that’s where it’s at

Sign says.. Woo… stay away fools,
‘cause lunch rules at the Lu-u-unch Shack!
Well it’s set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back

NAH MAN HE'S A BUST DIDN'T YOU HEAR, HE SPRAINED AN ANKLE THIS YEAR

I agree… and really, it could be as little of a thing as him being in shape and thus able to stay out of foul trouble and thus playing 30+ minutes a night, and people will say “WHERE DID THIS COME FROM”.

It was always there, hidden by extenuating circumstances.

by Mortimer on May 25, 2009 6:19 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

what I find so funny is that logical people are writing him off despite a rookie season when he was a 15-11 type guy when playing 30 minutes or more… that’s out of shape, glued to the ground, unathletic open.

Assume that he never regains any athleticism (which K-Mart and Amare show to be false) and never improves his post game. He’d still be a 15-11 guy if he can just stay out of foul trouble. Bust? really?

It's crazy

Unless one somehow thinks that Oden will never be in shape, or never be able to play 30 mins a night, then everyone should be able to see (both from the stats and from watching him) that Oden’s basement is that of a very good center. An allstar many years.

15/11, being out of shape, slow, raw as cookie dough… yeah, he’s pretty crappy.

Like we always say, when he’s on the floor and playing, he does well. He just wasn’t able to be on the floor because of foul troubles, but that ALWAYS goes away, and I think it’s more of a conditioning problem than anything.

by Mortimer on May 25, 2009 6:27 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He’s already a guy that affects the game. We won a lot of the games in which he played a lot of minutes.

I still think that he’ll regain a lot of his athleticism and get in better condition, which will definitely help the foul trouble. Biedrins was TERRIBLE at first… the GS fans called him “The Foul-a-Minute Man.”

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a point guard that could get him easy looks off the pick and roll? It’s so frustrating to have a beastly center who never gets the ball on the roll.

by Cablinasian on May 25, 2009 6:30 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I believe he'll regain much of his athleticism as well

But at the very least, we can safely assume with NO leap of faith that he will be in shape, and will improve his foul troubles, which will enable him to stay on the floor and gain experience, and be a very damn good center.

I kinda hoped Oden could be Sergio’s salvation, but he hardly ever looked to him on the roll. Oden rolls so hard, he NEEDS to be given the ball then… though once he is in shape, the roll can be finished with the lob and dunk more regularly.

The pick and roll with Oden is free points. It frustrated me to no end when any one of our ballhandlers would use the pick, drive to the hoop and kick it for the jumper. Maybe we should pass it to the really large man running to the hoop. I dunno.

Yet, Nate McMillan's days as a starting point guard with the Seattle ...

SuperSonics came with dudes like Alton Lister and Tom Chambers — and later Michael Cage and Derrick McKey — starting on the frontline. By the time Shawn Kemp became the SuperSonics starting power forward, McMillan was coming off of the bench as a backup at both point guard and small forward. Indeed, Kemp’s running partner in Seattle was Gary Payton from the 1990-1991 season until his departure for Cleveland..

w0rd

It is money in the bank.

Another Oden thing— even as a dumb rookie with an ugly ass hook shot and no post moves whatsoever, every single team in the NBA had to double him. HAD to.

Once he gets some offense (and he will, all athletic bigs do), he can use a nice combo of his power and size along with his soft touch to be a very good offensive player. 20+ points good.

Even in his struggles, it was plain as day how hard it was to defend him even now, and how many fouls he made the other team rack up. That will be really fun in the years to come.

It highlights a bigger problem in today’s culture… everything is about tomorrow, everything focusing on the present rather than the future.

Well, he was almost out of the league because of the drugs

And was, of course, out of the league for two years.

The gimmicks make him a further fan favorite (which got him his first contract), and extra notoriety, which make his exploits even more well known, which will make his contract bigger.

For a guy who had to fight to make the NBA to start off with, I understand how he might feel like he needs to make himelf stand out and connect with the fans.

They're both big struggles

Roy, and everyone on our team, were always in big AAU teams, went to big schools or were drafted out of high school, had a ton of people advising and helping them on their way. Roy woulda’ been drafted out of high school if he stayed in that draft, and then became a lottery pick. Yeah, he worked hard, but he didn’t have to toil through Junior College and various F-Leagues to get noticed by a NBA scout like Chris Anderson did.

If someone doesn’t like Anderson for their various reasons, I can’t say they are wrong, but I do think if he was a Blazer we’d appreciate his individuality, his energy, his hard play, his struggle with drug abuse, and his journey to get into the NBA a lot more than most of us do now.

To me, the gimmick thang is a smart marketing move by Anderson, whether he knows that or not, since EVERYONE knows him now. It took Joel YEARS to get some notice, and Birdman comes in, blocks some shots, dunks some rebounds, flaps his arms, and he’s a star. :-)

Fans love to love and love to hate that stuff, but it gets him noticed, and that (plus his actual play, of coure) will lead to a nice contract for him. Hopefully the next contract won’t just go up his nose!

He’s an underdog doing really well for himself, so I hope he keeps doing well.

And that is a knock on him, but he does what he does very well.

That's exactly it.

He’s dumber than a box of rocks and thinks he is better than he really is. I sleep better at night knowing his chances of ever being a Blazer are zero to the billionth power.

Why does he think he is better than he really is?

Being okay with 20 mins and grateful for the chance to play seems like the opposite of that attitude to me.

He plays up the bad guy role, like a showman.

all reports are that he’s very normal off the court, even has a normal hairstyle. Very good teammate.

I don't get the hatred

EVERY player has tattoos these days, being so judgemental about his drug abuse is pretty… judgemental, and he plays hard every minute he is on the court.

Aside from not liking his physical appearance, like so many seem not to, what is wrong with him?

Yeah, I hated Nic ever since he held up two fingers to Gasol

WHAT A JERK TO DO THAT.

Now I know, Birdman does it constantly, but it’s part of the show we’d LOVE if he were a Blazer.

I think there is no shot he is a Blazer though, but not because of the showboating and drugs, but because the Nuggets won’t let hm go or someone else will overpay him.

yea it is silly.

I have a hard time with Birdman, but it is mostly due to that game where he smacked the ball in Rudy’s face. Arrrrgh I dislike that more than the Ariza foul in ways!!

But it is sill homerism and if he was a Blazer (please no please no please), he would be an amazing asset, esp. if we had to give up Joel for a PG.

Man, that block in Rudy's face...

That’s awesome. It sucks it was on Rudy, but if Oden did that to some Euro we’d still be talking about it.

Since it was Birdman on our boy, I want to drive a truck into his face. But if it was Oden on any eurotrash or even Aaron Brooks we’d have thought that was just made wicked cool sick stuff. Top 10 of the year kind of stuff.

and I really liked it (I think it was the next game) when Oden kept slamming Birdman around and gave him a bloody nose. That was so great; any doubt that I loved Oden disappeared when that happened. I think that was the final game of the year.. maybe.

I’m starting to like Anderson’s game a little,

and a little bit of showboating at the right time is Ok, but if he starts flapping his wings when the other team is taking the ball out (which I’ve seen far too many times) as a coach I’m sitting his butt down faster than you can say quack quack.
