6-12 Junk Drawer: Make a Song Edition (4U92!)


92wasthe year is famous. The world's tiniest junk--what an honor. But he also is a talented song-writer (quite under appreciated I might add).

I'm sure a lot of folks around BE feel the same way. You are an amazing songwriter. Today's junk drawer is the place to let it all out. About the blazers, another poster, your girlfriend, your wanna-be-boyfriend (most likely me, Rudy, or Nic).....you know.... whatever.

 

To start, I'd like to re-post an ode I wrote to a while back. As most of you know, dear Mortimer is from P-Town (or nearby I presume), but he's currently exiled in L.A. I wrote him a song as an offering of my condolences.

 

To my dearest Mortihanna (song starts at 35 seconds if you want to follow along),

Portland had his heart
But now he’s worlds apart
He lives in Los Angeles
Down with the movie stars
Where sunglasses make things dark
You see lots of shiny cars
He’s not sure if he likes it there
cuz there ain’t no one share (his Blazer love)

ohhh yahhhhhh…..

When the sun shines, it’s real good weather
He tells himself he’ll live in LA forever
says he’ll always be a friend
Took a good job…I’ma stick it out till the end
But now that it’s raining more than ever
He hate LA like no other
But he still won’t use his umbrella
I’m from Portland and we don’t use no umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Don’t use no umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Don’t use no umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Don’t use no umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

 

This pain brought to you because S4E was too lazy to post his own junk drawer. Thank blame him.

Oh my god Becky, look at that dunk
it is so huge
it looked like one of those top 10 plays on sportscenter or something
they only talk to the dude because he got posterized so bad
i mean that dunk
was just so huge
i mean, it’s just nasty
look at that poor guy

I LIKE BIG DUNKS AND I CANT DENY

you spring up!
wanna rewind that dvr
cause you know that dunk was huge

In my opinion, what Mickael Pietrus did to Pau Gasol was more egrigious than ...

what Trevor Ariza did to Rudy Fernandez. I mean it, too, since somebody’s intent to injure another person matters in these cases.

by AK1984 on Jun 12, 2009 2:11 AM PDT up reply actions  

Pietrus just gave a small shove.

It wasn’t like OH MY GOODNESS DID HE JUST DO THAT.

i thought it was cheap, but it wasn’t like he put gasol on a stretcher.

"Friend to all women, lover to none" --Broyposse

by prezofdeath on Jun 12, 2009 2:12 AM PDT up reply actions  

It was definitely cheap

It looked more like he was sending a message for the dunk, but it also looked like some frustration being let out.

Though had Gasol lost his grip on the rim, that could have been a nasty fall.

(Thanks CD for posting the clip, I hadn’t seen it yet.)

by Timmay! on Jun 12, 2009 2:24 AM PDT up reply actions  

I think both plays deserve a flagrant 1

the context makes me want to be more lenient with Pietrus though. One is a hotly contested NBA finals game and the other was a 30 point blowout.

"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"

by Magnum on Jun 12, 2009 3:26 AM PDT up reply actions  

I don't think that's a big deal

it finishes the game off and if Pietrus hadn’t fouled Gasol the game would have been over. I have a feeling someone would have rushed over to Gasol to foul him if he tried to dribble out the clock.

more importantly, I don’t see it as scoring needlessly. A 5 point game is sill in the realm of freakish, but not totally impossible come back win especially if a player doesn’t know exactly how much time is left on the clock.

"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"

by Magnum on Jun 12, 2009 3:24 AM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, it's not a big deal at all that Pau Gasol went for the flush to finish off the game.

Also, any Portland fan who supports Mickael Pietrus for his cheap shot on Gasol is a homer.

On another note, I bet that Rudy Fernandez agrees with me that it was a cheap shot by Pietrus.

My friend and I wrote a song about Rudy during the season

It is to the tune of When Johnny Comes Marching Home (also The Ants Go Marching One By One), but really we ripped it off from Liverpool FC’s Fernando Torres song. We thought it would be awesome to get the entire Rose Garden singing a song to Rudy, who has already said that he feels like a “football star” here in Portland. We taught it to a bunch of our friends and now we like to sing it while drunk and/or while watching the Blazers (especially after Rudy drains a three).

Song:

The M-V-P of Euroleague, Rudy, Rudy,
He’ll spot right up and drain the three, Rudy, Rudy,
We brought the lad from sunny Spain,
He gets the ball and scores again,
Rudy Fernandez, Portland’s Number Five!

about Fisher I mean. Cause I think you’re way off base about Fisher. That was a legit reason to leave Utah and I don’t think he “exploited” his daughter at all. There were like 2 institutions that specialized in her sort of illness and one was in LA if I remember correctly. I thought it was a class move by Utah and Fisher did the right thing.

I think.. if i recall correctly

he went to utah and they drafted deron.. which made him a backup. he wasnt happy there. then when his daughter got sick, he decided he needed to get her help. Normally I would assume his wife, family would go and he would take time off. Instead, he got released from Utah, kept the money, and went back to LA where he could start.

i don't remember the part about the money.

that is sorta dubious i guess, although nba contracts are guaranteed so he’s not obligated to pay it back, but it would have been the classy move. but I think it’s only an exploitative move if his #1 priority wasn’t his daughter, and I would find that very hard to believe. I’m sure the role on the team was at the back of his mind though. I do see how his move could be interpreted as somewhat selfish and/or devious.

He chose a doctor in New York

He could have just stayed in Utah or moved to any team east of the Mississippi, instead he moved farther away. He exploited his child’s illness to go to LA.

Hating on a Thursday after noon
For what I read on LA Times,
His lies.
Feelin like its down to just five games
So do you cringe or want to die?
Deny!

Hatin’ on that southern vain
Only yesterday he lied,
Promises of matri im money
Only watched the dollar signs
Of all of these cards he plays adultery

Seething is the smartest thing to do
 with all Ive said and
All that l*ker blue
He lied – good bye

First of all

Prez…thanks for the kind words (btw where did you say I had to leave the money you requested?). Anyway I want want to contribute a song to this fantastic thread, but since I am at work I think I will repost my latest effort. It is about KP and his draft prowess but be warned though….it is risky. If the other GMs in league see this, they may decide to not deal with KP. One last thing….I think that the next time I do a JD I will probably throw up a Greatest Hits compilation. Anyway …this is a take on the classic Elton John song The B*tch is Back! If you want to see the original (or any number of live versions) just look it up on You Tube. Ok …. a one-a and a two-a

The Pritch is Back!

He was pushing for Paul in o-five
But he was told "no", we don’t trust your eye
But times were changing, he did the o-seven draft
Now anyone who messes with the Pritch gets slapped

Do research on a friday thats alright
Talkin on cell phone all saturday night
Pritch is the best of all in late June
He get’s high in the evening takin’ picks off you
Whoo hoo hoo

He’s the Pritch, He’s the Pritch
Oh the Pritch is back
Stone cold drafter as a matter of fact
He can trade, He’s the Pritch
and he’s better than you
It’s his draft day moves
The GMs he abused whoo hoo hoo

He’s in the know by picking brains
Boost their stock by dropping names
He dont like those. My god, whats that?
Oh he full of misdirection when the Pritch gets back

He’s the Pritch, He’s the Pritch
Oh the Pritch is back
Stone cold drafter as a matter of fact
He can trade, He’s the Pritch
and he’s better than you
It’s his draft day moves
The GMs he abused whoo hoo hoo

But I got my car broken into while swimming down the hill. Likely a bunch of amateur hooligans, because they threw a rock threw the window, then opened the door which set off the alarm. But rather than grabbing everything in sight, they ran like sissys, leaving lots of valuable stuff sitting on the seat right in front of them(including a purse full of money and credit cards). I don’t think its a regular thing up there, but something to watch for. Otherwise, its a great area, especially if you have a boat…

Anyone elso love Bobby Medina as much as I do?

Cold coolin at a bar, and I’m lookin for some action
But like Mike Jagger said, I can’t get no satisfaction
The girls are all around, but none of them wanna get with me
My threads are fresh and I’m lookin def, yo, what’s up with L-o-c?
The girls is all jockin at the other end of the bar
Havin drinks with some no-name chump, when they know that I’m the star
So I got up and strolled over to the other side of the cantina
I asked the guy, Why you so fly? he said, Funky Bob Medina

Funky Bob Medina

This brother told me a secret on how to get more chicks
Put a little Medina in your glass, and the girls’ll come real quick
It’s better than any alcohol or aphrodisiac
A couple of sips of this love potion, and she’ll be on your lap
So I gave some to my dog when he began to beg
Then he licked his bowl and he looked at me and did the wild thing on my leg
He used to scratch and bite me, before he was much much meaner
But now all the poodles run to my house for the Funky Bob Medina

You know what I’m sayin?
I got every dog in my neighborhood breakin down my door
I got Spuds McKenzie
Alex from Stroh’s
They won’t leave my dog alone with that Medina, pal

I went up to this girl, she said, Hi, my name is Sheena
I thought she’d be good to go with a little Funky Bob Medina
She said, I’d like a drink, I said, Ehm – ok, I’ll go get it
Then a couple sips she cold licked her lips, and I knew that she was with it
So I took her to my crib, and everything went well as planned
But when she got undressed, it was a big old mess, Sheena was a man
So I threw him out, I don’t fool around with no Oscar Meyer wiener
You must be sure that the girl is pure for the Funky Bob Medina

You know, ain’t no plans with a man
This is the 80’s, and I’m down with the ladies
Ya know?

Break it down

Back in the saddle, lookin for a little affection
I took a shot as a contestant on The Love Connection
The audience voted, and you know they picked a winner
I took my date to the Hilton for Medina and some dinner
She had a few drinks, I’m thinkin soon what I’ll be gettin
Instead she started talkin ‘bout plans for our weddin
I said, Wait, slow down, love, not so fast says, I’ll be seein ya
That’s why I found you don’t play around with the Funky Bob Medina

Ya know what I’m sayin
That Medina’s a monster, y’all

anything with autotune sure, your not supposed to listen.. but pop and alternative and country, places you can HEAR the lyrics, are meant to be heard. otherwise they wouldnt bother writing them

I feel like bringing it up mid-lunch would come off as pre-planned and kind of dumb

Its just some outdoor concert in the park, its not like you have to stay all day or anything. Remember that I’ve already talked to her 3 times now (speed date, chance encounter in SF, coffee date). If she’s not ready to spend a few hours to a full afternoon then she probably just isn’t interested. That’s my take anyway.

by jksnake99 on Jun 12, 2009 4:32 PM PDT up reply actions  

yeah true...most things on a date is dumb unless executed well

in this case, either way would work. just do what you are most comfortable with.

if she really likes you, she won’t think it’s dumb and think you did pre-planned it for her or if she think that you didn’t, and it was a good suggestion.

just like the rule i told you about, you think it’s 3 encounter when she really thinks it’s 1 (coffee) the other two doesn’t count for her.

you can always position…“…lunch then there’s some cool options around that area depending if you like music, art, or 31 flavors of ice cream”

be confident…nothing is dumb. you can sit on the sidewalk throwing pebbles to cars passing and it won’t be dumb if you guys have some spark

by Mortimer on Jun 12, 2009 4:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

That's my feeling

I think it’s okay if it seems like you had thought up the concert ahead of time, and that is worst case scenario.

She’ll be more likely to say yes and look forward to a fun lunch, and then when things go well, you can “check out” the concert, casually (and I think ‘check out’ or something similarly casual is the best way to approach it). You can also say “hey I was gonna go to this concert, wanna come along?” so you’re gonna go either way and she can take it or leave it, baby.

I think it can be hard for anyone to know if they want to invest that time in the early stages. If YOU want to invest the time, it’s cool, because she is auditioning for you as well and that is something important to remember. Do YOU know you want to spend a whole afternoon with her?

cool....if it all ended after this weekend with date #2, give yourself a pat on the back...you done good....

3rd set of dates is usually when you start to get in a groove…you can’t expect too much out of speed dating.

now you can just ask any girl out you are interested since you know the approach, totally dirt off your shoulders…

and future advice #23984298…girls hate waiting past the 3rd date for some kissing/touching/“move” but that’s not in every case…as i think about it…that’s just my rule but i know some girls hate it when guys wait to make a move…and i’m not talking about the whorish ones either….hahahaha

Pekovic is going to change how we view basketeering

He will be everything and anything for the Wolves, so they can start Jefferson and Love together and still be the best defensive team in the world.

If I was a mean person (to their face) I woulda’ mocked them a lot more for pinning defensive hopes on some stiff Euro who is a few years from getting to the NBA to even see if he can play.

Dang, he was brutally honest

Calling Big Al and Love non-allstar talents and whatnot.

That’s hardcore! Even if true.

Maybe we should add that to the Love for Oden/Aldridge threads
-For a championship caliber team, Al Jefferson and Kevin Love are, respectively, 2nd and 4th best players. The team needs to find players who can be the 1st and 3rd best players, according to Kahn.

IT DOESN'T MATTER

Our #1 guy, whoever that ends up being (Pekovic?), will be SO GOOD that even though Love is the 4th best, it’s still 1st best for most other teams.

That’s all Kahn meant.

Ode to the tough times

Geeky fan gazing down to the court
Staring at a team that just cant shoot
If at any time they they can slam
He’ll be at his feet
But they don’t realize they hurt him so much
Cos all the praying just aint helpin
At all and they cant seem to keep
They selves outta legal trouble
So he leaves the garden short his money
The only way he knows how
Another losing season and cold in the summer
Listen to me

Don’t go chasing superstars
Please stick to the good character guys that
We’re used to
I know that you’re gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think you re trading too fast

Madcap GM has a natural obsession
For an upside that he just cant see
Boy shows him moves his body cant handle
But all the scout can say is high potential to me
One day he goes out and takes a peak on the court
But he doesnt recognize his own team
Franchise is fading and he doesnt know why
3 letters took him to his final trading place
Yall dont hear me

Don’t go chasing superstars
Please stick to the good character guys that
We’re used to
I know that you’re gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think you re trading too fast

I seen a prospect yesterday
But too many stars have come and gone
Leavin a trace of not one All-star worthy play
You say because my scouts ignore the shades of grey
All these stars will fade away
Praisin’ for free agent days

And like his promise is true
Only character can undo
The many chances where I could
Break my team anew

Clear and unconditional contracts
Have stilled the fears in my eyes
No more whinny cries

The only bleedin hope
Is for a trade that can cope
Wit such an endurin pain
That it don’t keep em out of the game
Whos to blame
For hotboxing in your own van
What a shame
You shoot and aim for someone elses brain
You claim the insane
And name this day and time
For fallin prey to crime
I say association got you victim to your own mind

Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and your agent

I <3 Roy too

I’m gonna take my time
Trav will get his before I

So he can get a championship ring
So I can get a championship ring
So we can win some championship rings
Championship rings

He might be guarding him
But he’s thinkin’ ‘bout me.. me… mee
Wants to throw a double team
But they can’t stop me.. me.. me..

All that we ever do
Is throw down in yo’ face… face… faace..
Hit all of our freethrows
Then get back on dee… deee.. deeee

’That’s what’ll give us a
Championship ring

See my game is outrageous
I got down in the paint and spun around some sad faces
But it wasn’t no need for me to rush to slam one
Cuz I wanted us to have a championship

yeah

Landon Donovan is the greatest American offensive player ever (by far) and even he was a bust in Germany. Freddy Adu and Jozy Altidore are great fun to watch, but are not off to promising starts if they want to be the first American breakout star.

The American players who have achieved the most success internationally are all goalkeepers (Kellar, Friedel, Howard). Brian McBride, Claudio Reyna and a few others have found some success overseas, but not nearly enough to be big stars.

by jksnake99 on Jun 12, 2009 6:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

many of them do, yes

but a number of national team stalwarts (Landon Donovan, Pablo Mastroeni, Brian Ching, etc) play in MLS. Additionally, key players from the Canadian, Costa Rican, Guatemalan, Honduran, etc. national teams play in MLS.

JT the Brick is usually a good talk show host to listen to when driving around. Tonight, he was saying that a “conservative estimate” of Kobe’s career will be that he’ll win six championships to match Jordan.

He followed this by saying that Kobe would opt out, sign a megamillions max deal in LA, and that the Lakers would trade Derek Fisher, Sasha Vujacic, and Lamar Odom for a star point guard.

He’s a good host until he talks Lakers.

I was looking at Ebay.

you can find throwbacks all over the place, but usually its only good players. for HH you need to find someone to own one.. 15 years from now it will be hard to find an Outlaw jersey

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.
