I took some classes at Oregon State one summer

It was awesome. Summer school is really flexible in that some classes start in July, and some start in August. So I took 4 classes over the course of the summer, but never had more than 2 classes going on at a time. Thus I had plenty of time to hang out with my buddies at night and to goof around during the day when I wasn’t in class. And the best part was that I was done with school by the end of August so I still had a month break before Oregon State started back up again at the end of September.

I am a huge fan of summer school.

My wife (chick I was shacked up with at the time) went to U of O for summer school

She had a bunch of classes with football players and she invited them over to teach them how to make sushi. They came over a few times for dinner, we went to their place once and one fellow from Compton and his girlfriend went camping with us.

OK. Dramatic dialogue version:

ULC: Yes, Your Honor?

TIH: You stand accused of Aggravated Gullibility. How do you plead?

ULC: I, um, I plead Guilty But Ignorant, Your Honor.

TIH: Ignorant? That is obvious, but why is it relevant?

ULC: I was busy posting brilliant observations in the LMA front page thread. I hadn’t even looked at the sidebar…….

TIH: I doubt the brilliance of your observations but fine. I pronounce you Guilty AND Ignorant…..

ULC: But, but, but…..

TIH: Now for my favorite part: your sentence. I sentence you to public humiliation and 24 hrs of You Tube tapes of Bayless making TOs, missing shots, and strutting like a peacock.

ULC: Oh no, your honor, anything but that. Please sir, have mercy. I beg……..

by staylost on May 6, 2009 1:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

tom, I admit it was intentional

but when I made this name, you had switched to Dragline. Thus, I didn’t foresee the confusion.

Here’s a deal for you: I will stop using this if you give me the password to Dragline. I thought TiH was gone forever when I made this. Then TiH came back (which is great, everybody loves it and you for that matter). But right now I’m stuck with TiR.

I don’t want to continue to piss you off and confuse the heck out of people (like, it took annthefan 2 months to figure out I’m not you… and that’s why she hates me to this day).

This may not be the solution, but I truly want to work in earnest on finding one. Once possibility would be for me to take over Dragline (and accompany it with a JD that explains who is who now). What other ideas do you have?

I seriously think the world of you Tom and want to be your friend and friends with all Bedgers. I’m completely open to negotiations. Let’s work together and see if we can sort this out. This is a good time to do this, since it’s the off-season and all.

by tominrehab on May 6, 2009 1:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

Not trying to be mean, but you could just make your own name you thought up by yourself.

If you really are worried about tominoahu’s feelings. It wouldn’t be that hard. Plus, annthefan COULDN’T be pissed off at you anymore because you’d be someone else. You had a run with tominrehab. Your best move now appears to be stepping out of that role. It could be a move with the new offseason. A bigger better (and in the case of Oden, smarter) Blazer team, and a bigger and better tominrehab great the upcoming season of Blazer domination.

If not. That’s cool.

I’ve called out folks when they use “retard.” If someone is offensive, they deserve to be called on it. It just needs to be done in an educating manner and not a condescending or jerkly manner. I should have known better, and sometimes folks do not know better. Either way, as long as it is explained why it is offensive, instead of just being offended, more power to them.

Think about a person who knowingly tries to take on anothers identity

and for months gets away with it. Isn’t that called identity theft? This has been going on for close to 6 months now and Rehab still has people mistaking him for Tom and he still never disabuses the person he’s duped of their mistake. Anyone see a pattern? How would people feel if their online persona were co-opted by someone who makes the kind of comments that Rehab makes? That kind of behavior is less than balanced. And now he wants Tom to give him the password for Dragline, bribing Tom with the prospect of no more confusion between tominhawaii/tominrehab? What? I asked Rehab, as free of profanity as I possibly could, to make a pact to never respond directly or indirectly to each others comments, and that I was giving him the last word. The next day, he’s commenting in one of the threads that our “relationship” is on the mend and reciting little psuedosychobabble pep talks on how hate is damaging. Rehab has a lot more problems going on than just identity theft. Now that I recognize it I would spot the ugly mind behind his comments no matter what Rehab calls himself.

Bust a Bucket started out kind of funny and then just became insulting and churlish. I wish I would have punched you at Blazers Edge night, but then I realize that this is just a blog and it’s not worth punching someone over.

"Kentucky Fried Movie." A comedy classic.

Airplane was the movie that made Jim Abrahams and Jerry and David Zucker famous. KFM was the movie they did before Airplane. It’s a series of vignettes that spoof TV, movies, and popular culture in the 1970s. The longest vignette was a 45-minute send-up of Bruce Lee’s martial-arts classic, Enter the Dragon. That’s where the Take him to Detroit! reference comes from.

I saw KFM four times before I finally saw Enter the Dragon. The other patrons must have thought I was on drugs, because every other scene I was cracking-up remembering how it was lampooned in KFM.

I love how some people (not you rehab, the folks writing the linked article) ...

… want to make personal choices into a societal problem. Oh my, obesity is a problem for all of us because tax payer dollars get used to treat some of the people with obesity related health problems.

In a free society, people are allowed to make personal choices, even if they are poor ones. If people want to eat poorly, get fat and die at an early age, that is their right. Perhaps the problem is the people who want the rest of us footing the bill to take of people who won’t take care of themselves. Rather than moving toward a nanny state that tells you what you can eat, when you can drive your car or light a fire in your fireplace, how about we just say no to people who come to the hospital with high blood pressure and diabetes. If they drop dead in the parking lot, that’s their problem.

Some might find this cold hearted. But last year my doctor informed me I had developed Type II diabetes. I could have done what most people apparently do – nothing. Instead I did what was recommended. Cut calories, limited carbs and started working out. (I was already eating pretty healthy, but am a bread, pasta, potato and rice lover.) And guess what, blood sugar numbers are good, I’ve dropped 20 lbs and as a bonus both my cholestorol and BP is in the excellent range. According to my doc, I’m only the 2nd patient she’s ever seen do this. This is not to pat myself on the back – but to point out that it usually comes down to a matter of choice. And I don’t believe in government being the one to be making choices for us.

Sorry for the mini rant and now back to our regular programing.

How about this arguement:

The government is the people of the nation. The people of the nation subsidize healthcare through taxation. The government pays for part of citizen’s healthcare. The people of the nation, having decided to subsidize healhcare, must move to prevent abuse or costs will become unreasonable. They cannot deny healthcare subsidies to certain groups as it will reflect poorly on then. So instead they must force all to act within one ‘healthy’ mode.

That dog don't hunt for me.

Using that logic, there is nothing that can’t be decided by the government. The key word in your paragraph is in the last sentence – force. Since when in a free society does the gobvernment have the right to force people to do something against their will when it does not threaten or harm another? My eating a cheeseburger threatens no one other than perhaps my self.

Are you referring to physical harm or a greater harm.

Because clearly, if the people of the nation pay some percent of everyone’s healthcare, than their is monetary harm when any poor health related choice is made by an individual.

If a smoker and a thief both harm you by taking money from your pocket, is there a difference other than the disassociation in our minds?

This is coming from the point of view of the social contract.

Interesting take on this.......

but it assumes absolutely no role of genetics. As in one of the leading causes of high cholesterol is genetics.

So do we with hold treatment of everyone who makes bad choices? And just who gets to make that decision? Would treatment for STDs stop? Because getting one means that you may have made a bad decision. Where is the line drawn?

I’m all for personal responsibility. there is far too little of it today. But it is difficult, if not impossible, to define rules that fit all situations.

by antediluvian on May 6, 2009 1:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

you've described the real problem.

There isn’t an easy way to draw lines that are perfect. That’s why I identified my little comment as a rant.

Personally, this is one problem I have with universal health care. It doesn’t require any personal responsibility. If I had to come up with a suggestion, I would do something in the vein of Oregon’s health plan, where a list of health care treatments and checkups are covered, with others not. The list should be heavily weighted to preventive medicine and regular checkups and focus on the young. I am all for free health care to people up to the age of, say 18.

hakkaa päälle !

by timg56 on May 6, 2009 1:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

That is so awesome.

I have come to the conclusion that free health care should be up to the age of 18 as well, and nothing past that age (preventative complicates things obviously: is water quality a part of preventative healthcare?). I came to that view through reasoning out a healthcare system to reinforce personal health responsibilty. Since 18 and unders are recognized by our society as unable to make their own decisions, they are clearly not responsible for their health choices (which would have largely been made by their parents up to this point).

Another complication is high risk activities like, for example, rock climbing. If the government were to set up a fair healthcare system would such activities be synonomous with the Atkins diet?

Or we could pay for all the health care anyone needs with no problem

And cut the military in half. Replace it with a moon base, from which we throw giant boulders on our enemies. If we have to. Which I would prefer we didn’t.
That might work.

by twggyy on May 6, 2009 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

I guess that's what I like about universal health care....

in that, at least as I envision it, it does require personal responsibility. There won’t be enough money for the hugely expensive, marginally effective treatments which seem almost mandatory today. For example, why does every hospital and many clinics have MRI facilities? Having that many isn’t necessary.

To me, a universal plan that fully funds preventive medicine and the most medically effective treatments would encourage individual responsibility.

But hey….the most important health care decisions involve the health of Webster’s foot and Oden’s entire body. ;-)

 If I or my girlfriend are lucky enough to be offered a job, that is the highest position in our career, in one of the best markets in the world it would be an ending point if they refused to come.
 To be offered such a great chance, only to have your loved one refuse to come is rediculous. For a smaller scale job it may be understandable, but this is a general manager, not a mechanic. If you refuse to move when your partner gets the chance to do something truly amazing, I’m suspicious.

In all seriousness

I don’t think Hinrich is that much of an upgrade at point… If we’re going to make a “Championship” move, odds are it’s for a younger up and coming guard like Sessions. I don’t think a PG puts us over the hump for a couple of years as our core matures, and by that time most of the available quality guards are on the downswing of their careers.

Well, Timbo getting banned from BaB was what I was talking about

But I tend to think that Prez has a great point about what constitutes the “good ol days”. I wasn’t here when they were giving out UID. I’m guessing you weren’t there either Corvid. So it’s a little presumptuous for us to argue about what happened then. Therefore, I retract my statement about what happened then. And I also apologize for that. Hopefully you can also own up to your failings and apologize for calling my comments “a load of crap”.

I agree with relegation. I think that would REALLY shake things up and make each year a little more interesting. Just think, we could’ve been relegated very easily in our dark days.

Probably the biggest obstacle towards inacting a salary cap in the EPL

is that it would likely violate some EU laws as it will likely be viewed as a restriction of trade. The leagues in Europe don’t operate in nearly the vaccum that the North American leagues do.

crazy match

I don’t watch much soccer— just towards the end of the Champions League and as many Euro Championships and World Cup matches as I can, so I’d be interested in other people’s takes but it seemed to me that the red card on Barca was a horrible call… but then Barca got away with not one but two obvious hand balls in the box… and at Chelsea’s home stadium no less.

Here on campus where I watched, at least 90% of the students were for Barca which I found interesting. I was rooting for them also but I was surprised that there was such a small percentage of Chelsea fans.

Ah I don't know, I don't think they should have called that last one a handball.

I mean I guess technically it was a handball but no ref is going to call that. The one in the 89th minute was a joke to miss though. That one could not have been more obvious.

I watched the College Softball World Series on TV once

this is why I love Bill Simmons
4. I woke up six minutes into “The Hills” and the Sports Gal refused to change the channel because Audrina slept in Brody Jenner’s bed in Hawaii and Brody’s Playmate girlfriend was furious about it. These are the moments when Bruce Jenner feels proud for all the sacrifices he made trying to win that Olympic gold medal in 1976. But this led to an awesome moment in Twisted Female Logic when Audrina’s friend LC then blamed Brody for not sticking up for Audrina and siding with his girlfriend because it was Brody’s fault that he didn’t kick Audrina out of his bed because he was in a relationship and Audrina was single, so, really, it was up to HIM to do the right thing. No blame for Audrina for going after someone else’s dude? Really, LC? I sided with Brody, the Sports Gal sided with LC, and I’m ashamed to admit we actually argued about this for 20 minutes.

My argument in three parts: (A) Audrina is a tramp, (B) all women are natural enemies even if they pretend this isn’t the case, and © a single woman will always do whatever it takes to land someone as appealing as Bruce Jenner’s untalented but handsome son, even if it means seducing him on a reality-TV show and promising secrecy with him even though that show will be airing two months later.

The Sports Gal refused to admit I was right and claims she knows plenty of women who wouldn’t do this. When I asked her to name these women, she named a bunch of her married friends, which indirectly proved my point: nearly all SINGLE woman between the ages of 25-40 will do whatever it takes to land an appealing male, even if that means trashing whatever female code of ethics that allegedly exists. This is why women don’t trust other women. This is why Hollywood makes movies in which Ali Larter tries to steal Stringer Bell from Beyonce. You never see a movie in which Stringer Bell tries to steal Beyonce from Omar Epps. Why? Because no guy would like that movie. It would just make us angry. We would sit there thinking, “That’s not cool; this would never happen.” But if I took the Sports Gal to see “Obsessed,” she would say, “I can’t believe Beyonce is letting this happen,” or “I would have sniffed this girl out 20 minutes ago.” In other words, SHE WOULD IDENTIFY WITH BEYONCE’S CHARACTER just because they’re both women and they know how other women operate!!!!! You’re damned right I had to use CAPS and three exclamation points. Sorry, I win this argument. I just do.

What does this have to with anything? Well, by the time we were done arguing the case of “Audrina versus Brody’s girlfriend,” I just wanted to go to sleep. I had no idea Houston beat the Lakers until this morning. Hmmmmmm. Was it legitimate? A fluke? Could the Rockets actually win this series? Sounded like the perfect time for a retro-diary of the fourth quarter. Let’s join TNT’s broadcast with Houston leading 70-67.

Gameday threads are the trick.

I like to join in the gameday threads. Since they’re real-time, it bumps up my count over a season. For part of the 08-09 season, I did general play by play in the gameday thread, for folks who couldn’t see the game.

Otherwise, I tend to use the Mr. Ed creed: I try not to speak unless I have something to say. Except the JD, which is just a fun post anyway.

I’m probably one of the quieter 15,000+ posters… I tend to believe in shades of grey over black/white, so I don’t have loud, set -in-stone opinions as much as some others. It keeps me a bit less visible. That’s just my style though… I usually see an area in the middle on most topics.

I try to help with everything," Fernandez said. "If the coach says go rebound, I go rebound. I work for the team.

""If I'm playing this game to get media and attention, I shouldn't be here," Aldridge said. "I'm here to play basketball, and do what I can do to help this team win."

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
