Junk Drawer June 1: Rose Festival Edition

Max_dec_2007-3_tiny by Section323 on Comment 1342 comments

So, does anyone have big Rose Festival plans? I usually go down to the Grand Floral Parade, but that's about it.

When I was 17, my friend and I took a tour of one of the navy ships during fleet week. We wandered off from the tour and got ourselves kicked off the ship and told never to return. I've never returned to the navy ships, although I assume by now they've forgotten about me. We didn't see anything interesting on our detour. Hoping this is long enough...

I noticed a fatty comment down below it.

I have a question about him. Didn’t he want the Blazers to draft Oden? And now he hates him? I am so confused by that guy.

No, he doesn't hate Oden at all

Fatty actually thinks Oden will be great.

He just complains about people expecting him to be a savior right away.

Most of Fatty’s complaints are about how people are fans, and in expecting too much/too little/whatever. He thinks Oden will be great, just will take a few years. He may be right.

So, does anyone have big Rose Festival plans?

Man, I really wish I could go. When I was younger I helped build floats every year, then would pop by to watch the parade. But, living out of town now… the timing just never works out. This year, we’re very preoccupied so we can’t travel up.

How’s the Starlight parade? I’ve never had a chance to see it.

and the only reason the popular kids talked to me in high school was to ask if they could cheat off my tests. There’s a mildly funny story about that.

Although, I did get voted best hair in my graduating class.

just know that those people’s lives have peaked in high school and will end up working at the cheesecake factory while you have much brighter years ahead of you. At least, I sure hope so…

one of the more bizarre moments in my life was

walking into my first day of grad school and finding one of those obnoxious popular people from high school in my class. It was in a different state, so it was quite unexpected.

Hey, her life was supposed to have peaked in high school, and now she was supposed to be a loser!!!!

Interestingly, though, the kinda nerdy people like me were now the norm, and she was a little bit of a misfit. Her life didn’t suck, however, darn it!!! She was nicer as an adult at least.

by Section323 on Jun 1, 2009 10:40 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I was a huge nerd and no one liked me in high school and people thought I was very unintelligent

So, I don’t keep in touch with anyone from back then.

3 years ago I end up running into a group of former high school classmates in mother loving Sweden, on a trip with the now-wife. Had to do the awkward catch up game that I wasn’t prepared for, and forgot several of my accomplishments to underline that I am rad. And I had an un-ruly beard I was growing to celebrate going back to my motherland, so I looked “cooler”-than-normal.

I wasn’t friends with anyone in the group from my high school, some of them I outright didn’t like back then, but everyone was nice. It’s just awkward.

A switch definitely flipped for me in college, where I realized I was one of the smart kids pretty quickly. High school was weird. It feels weird to meet people from back then, even 10 years later… and I’m not one who is stuck in those times or even thinks of them. HONEST!

My brother was, like, THE school bully so I bet people he picked on think "oh that mean “Mortimer’s Older Brother”, I bet he’s a waste right now, the loser", but nope he’s doing good too.

So I guess the lesson is there isn’t likely a karmic lesson to those who weren’t cool or nice in high school.

Big Suck ain't got nuthin' on my brobro

He was a strong kid with a bad temper caused by some imbalances in his force. His midichlorian count was out of whack.

No one ever physically messed with me because I got to ride on his rep’s coattails for toughness, so that was nice. Especially since I was on all the varsity teams as a frosh and sophomore and anyone else like me got a lot of crap from the older kids. Initiation, stupid jock type stuff.

My brother wasn’t good at sports like I was, but he was good at punching and had beat up some of the star jocks who were older than me and most likely to pick on a 13 year old Mortimer (I started high school young), because that is what you do. So, they never messed with me and were actually very nice.

I figured it was because they were scared of my brother, but who knows, maybe they liked me.

My brother is much mellower now.

Some bullies if you stand up to them they get a lot less tough, but when someone would do that to my brother, it always ended in disaster. It just made him a lot meaner. Your best bet was to hope he got bored and don’t give him a reason to stay interested.

At home I just tried to avoid him.

Now he’s nice though… but for about a decade, whooo boy… he was mean.

I was 13 when I started high school, 17 when graduated

I didn’t skip a grade, just had a weird summer b-day and instead of waiting for the next year to start school like some in my situation, I got started early.

I was younger than a lot of people in the grade below me. It was sorta annoying, since everyone got their license a year ahead of me, and sports wise I was actually a year younger than everyone (though I had a better natural body and frame than most, so it didn’t hurt me that mnuch, but if I was the “proper” age I woulda’ been even better).

The only time it worked in my favor was that I finished college at a younger age, and since I was on varsity for baseball at 14, I got two years of Babe Ruth baseball outside of school where I was used to varsity pitching and then got to have batting practice in Babe Ruth against people my own age. That was a fun pair of baseball seasons.

I had God-awful grades in high school. People thought I was dumb. I was a weird kid, but I wasn’t dumb. In college, a switch was flipped and I got good grades, had lotta friends, etc etc. Can’t really explain it. Stopping sports prolly helped, but it wasn’t everything.

I won’t tell my kid to duplicate my high school career. For whatever reason, I’m the sort of person who can get away with worse-than-dropout-level-grades and still get into college and then make things work. I don’t expect most to be as lucky, but stuff just works out for me in general. A Man of Destiny, just like our Blazers.

Legendary Portland tough guy Maurice Lucas is undergoing treatment for bladder cancer. “The crazy thing is, he got the news about the cancer right after he survived what killed Bernie Mac,” said Lucas’ former Blazer teammate, Lionel Hollins, referring to the disease, sarcoidosis, that claimed the comedian’s life last summer.

Rubio doesn’t strike me as the ideal player for the triangle offense. Not even for D’Antoni who relies on good shooting from his point guard, hence his love for Nash and preference for Duhon and in this draft Curry. But Portland initially wouldn’t be ideal either, Nate would probably turn grey when he throws a creative pass against a surprise noggin of Joel.

My computer screen is fuzzy right where your comment says "But Portland….."

SO Flag for sending a fuzzy message./s
Really though, how do you think Nate felt about Rudy’s flamboyance this year.
And sometimes those noggin passes are more how and who delivered the pass. Not to mention Joel was actually starting to show some offense this year, albeit only a little.

Just keep yourself busy and your mind occupied. It’s a waste of your good time to try to figure out why you couldn’t understand her.

In the Mods´Day, and I´ll always remember the 6-1- by that name, a song for those who will be flagged and couldn´t understand it:

“La mauvaise réputation” by Georges Brassens.

In the village, without pretention,
I have a bad reputation
Whether I make an effort or whether I keep quiet
I am regarded as a I don’t know what.
Yet I don’t do harm to anyone
Going on my own sweet way.
But the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them
No the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them
Every-one speaks ill of me
Except for the dumb, that goes without saying

On the day of the 14th of July (*)
I keep to my cosy bed
The marching music
That doesn’t concern me
Yet I don’t do harm to anyone
By not listening to the bugle that sounds
But the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them
No the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them
Everyone points at me
Except for those without arms, that goes without saying

When I run into an unlucky thief
Chased by cultural chap
I stick out my foot and why keep it quiet,
The cultural chap finds himself on the ground
Yet I don’t do harm to anyone
By letting apple thieves have a run.
But the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them
Everybody pounces on me
Except for those without legs, that goes without saying

No need to be a Jeremiah
To guess the fate that awaits me
If they find a rope to their liking,
They will put it around my neck
Yet I don’t do harm to anyone
By following the paths that don’t lead to Rome
But the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them
No the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them
Everybody will come to see me hanged
Except for the blind, that goes without saying.

Because you’re married to SERGIA MONIA and he is mad at the Blazers for showing he wasn’t a NBA player so THERE.

She LOVES the Blazers. She loves them so much she openly wishes I was the Blazers. She makes me whisper the team roster in her ear when we consummate.

She hates LA and is from Florida, she thinks the Lakers are chumps! CHUMPS. Busters, even.

MRS. MORTIMER IS A SAINT.

My sisters got us a Blazers garter, which was cute. The Now-Wife had made her own garter already, and we were gonna use both but end up not even having a garter toss.

SHE WISHES ALL OTHER NBA TEAMS WOULD DIE OF A COUMADIN OVERDOSE.

She is from Tampa, which is an hour from Orlando, so I joke that her Magic are her 2nd favorite team, but she can only muster up the energy to care about one team.

Hey -- I checked this out and noticed a rumor involving yours truly

Somebody said maid tu rek had a bet with me and that his self-banning was tied in with that. That is not true, and here is all I know about his situation:

I’ve never made a bet with maid tu rek (or ptwnblzr). However, we had this exchange last June:

CatMan2:

Greg Oden is going to redefine the center position. He is so smart, strong, agile, fast and talented that people won’t believe their eyes or any other organs. By the end of next season, he will clearly be the best center in the league. After a period of adjustment, say 41 games, I’d expect his numbers to average around 20/15/5/5.

ptwnblzr:

does that stat line include fouls? and I think the blocks are a little heavy. also with odin being able to break through double teams with pre-miami-shaq-ease, I dont see quite that many assists. i think he will have several games matching your stats, but am ashamed that my enthusiam doesn’t match yours:*( But just so you know, i have copy and pasted your statement, date and time, and emailed it to myself, and if you are even close to right halfway through the season, It will be my new sig, FOREVER

I still believe my estimate would’ve been close, but I didn’t realize that Greg would get in so much foul trouble, and of course I didn’t anticipate that he would’ve lost so much of the athleticism that was evident at OSU. Anyhow, ptwnblzr didn’t have to change his sig.

I’m not sure why he disappeared this last time or the time before that.

He was one of the people who responded when I was trying to find BEdgers who wanted to go in on group tickets for this past season’s home opener. His computer apparently crashed during the period leading up to the game, and he lost his BE password as well as my email address and other stuff.

I made numerous attempts to contact him, and found him on some other non-basketball site, but he never responded. It’s too bad he didn’t go to that game, since the Blazers won, if you’ll recall, and we all had a good time.

End of story. Could you guys make this green so people will read it? Or not. Maybe I just shouldn’t care.

Kondratieff cycles/waves don’t mean the previous base technology gets instantly replaced, just that the hype cycle is over and it goes into a phase of saturation when it has become commonplace. The amazing thing is that the man died long ago, and the theory still holds pretty well. It’s also good to predict how the richest people make their money, from Carnegie to Rockefeller to Ford to Paul Allen :)

Hype is the single, fundamental driver of stocks. Real value, essentially, does not exist. Perceived value is real value, so fortunately it still works. Just don’t tell anybody until I cash out.

Hot tip: Steam engines are making a huge comeback. Within 2 years all cars will be coal burning and steam powered.

But when my L.ker fan friend actually mentioned getting tickets for game 5 (he mentioned it before the Blazers were out), I figured I would jump on it. I’d seen a few games at the Forum as a kid but never had been to Staples.

the list of editors and moderators at the bottom of the page is cool

Is there some meaningful order to those moderators?

I just noticed those a little bit ago.

I found it interesting to mouse over the icons to get the names like “lumpy_sphere” and “jesus_icon”. Some are just number and letter.

Not important, mind you, just interesting.

I didn’t know what you were talking about and I couldn’t get anything to show so I reread your post and recognized “lumpy sphere” as mine. I was playing around with the Blazer logo and got that, but it looks too much like a bowling ball. This is not how I want to be pictured (even though it’s pretty close to the truth) so I guess it’s time for yet a new avatar…

Are you avoiding seeds because of the dentist?

If so, Marionberry will be just as bad, won’t it? And stainy?

I ain't ate a smoothie in forever and a day

Banana and coconut and blueberry?

That sounds good, get that.

I dunno if that is a gettable flavor, since I am out of the smoothie-loop. Where do people get smoothies these days? The Smoothy Hut over in the smoothie quarter of the Smoothie district in Portland?

I've only been to Chucky Cheese once, for my nephew's birthday

It was surreal. The best part of the day was that my sister got a deal on a limo, so a bunch of us piled in the limo and drank chocolate milk out of champagne glasses on our way to Chucky Cheese.

sometimes with firefox

As a matter of fact, the horrible way firefox was dealing with JDs led me into the arms of Chrome and I haven’t looked back.

Good to know

I think I’ll ask the SBN techies about it. I auditioned Chrome for a couple of weeks, but prefer Firefox.

In order of how browsers seem to handle the threads in SBN...

This seems to be the order of best to worst in handling big threads on my machine (Core Duo 1.6Gz with 2GB):

1. Chrome
2. Firefox
3. Internet Explorer (This is still the case in Windows 7 btw)
[ I haven’t checked out Opera or Safari]

Firefox seems to handle the auto-refresh a little better when you’re typing a comment though.

I tend to recommend that people use one browser for BE, then a different one for everything else. Limiting the damage, if you will.

But browsers are starting to make every browser window in a separate instance (translation: one bad web page shouldn’t affect others), so that may not be necessary soon.
