Corvid had a neat comment in another thread.
I don’t think homo sapiens are wired to deal with uncertainty very well. One of the the things I love about this time of year is seeing how different people respond to the suspense. Some people step back and and get superanalytical; some put their faith in their fearless leader; some strive to uncover every piece of information and solve the puzzle; and yes, some go nuts. It makes for very interesting reading.
What kind of person on you?

I work nights at a group home with disabled folks. One of them wears a Jazz hat, but I’m not allowed by law to make him take it off.

do this quick
remove hat to comb hair and replace hat with a blazer one. He won’t notice because he can’t see the top of his head.

Yeah, you can use the symbol as a bull's eye for your boogers.

Yes. I normally get up at ~3:30am (work in finance -- east coast hours).

My friend found a roommate on craigslist and after a few months
She had to get a restraining order on the guy.

yeah, i've sold plenty of stuff on craigslist
i’m not opposed to it. I just hate how 90 percent of the peopel, even after talking to them on the phone, are just flaky.

being that 2/3rds of them will flake out, you still won’t be wasting your time.

i've had a couple people come by
i just didn’t want to jump the gun on th first one, hoping the perfect fit would come along, but i’m afraid there no such thing, i should just sleep so i can stop being so melodramatic.
MillsFanBoy
i end up doing that when i sell stuff
i’ll list something and i’ll have 10 people email and say they’re “interested”
instead of giving the first guy dibs, my new thing is “Whoever brings me the cash first can have it.”
Works pretty well. Last time the lady showed up and paid me 320 when it was only supposed to be 300 or something. I don’t think she knew she overpaid, and I felt bad, so I ran out to her rig and gave her the twenty back. She didn’t even say tanks.
Look...I love Trevor Ariza....But $32-$40 million?!? That better be a 16-year contract. --Dave
That's when you punch her in the face
and take the $20 back.

Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
lol
I just really don’t like him as a player.
1.) I hate his super over the top Western forehand.
2.) I hate that he plays tennis in an athletic, macho sort of way. Tennis should be smooth and he ruins that.
3.) I hate his capri pants, hair, etc.

right now is the first thing I put on when I leave the office, that and slippers. This week’s too hot, even for Madrid standards.
I know
everytime I have to leave the house during the day I want to die… Even if it’s to go to the pool, the thought of stepping into that scorching hot air is enough to put me off.
Right now it says 35 ºC, which apparently is 95ºF
But its almost 7 p.m and it probably won’t go down much till midnight.
thats pretty hot

I have to go to the airport now, I don’t want to leave the house It’s probably ok now, though
Anyone going to Vegas

Bosh is been in Spain helping out in Calderon's campus
seems like a really nice guy, hope he had a good time
Bosh is pretty cool
however I could not understand a word of that article. :-)
Brandon Roy, 'nuff said.
yeah sorry
I posted it mostly for the photos and stuff
quick summary: Chris Bosh, the anti-prima donna in Caceres, leaves a mark thanks to his values and kindness.
He spent three days there, tried to learn a bit of Spanish before the trip, was open and cheerful with the kids, had a great time visiting Calderon’s place.
Calderon: “I already knew about his town and his place, and I wanted him to come and visit mine”
Bosh: “Coming here and being able to meet his people, everyone here ’s really kind, I have realized why Jose is like he is”.

My self talk is that the more fans want him, the less likely the Blazers are to get him. It’s just the way it is.
- Carl
I'd be more worried about it if we didn't have
PA as our owner… Money does not seem to be an issue, and we can always build through the draft (if needed) by buying picks. 5 years does guarantee some sucky overpaid playing time though.

How many do you miss though?
In the Hedo thread, I saw a comment pop up by Roybot and someone else and hit Z and nothing happened. They were all marked as read and I didn’t do anything.
- Carl
I think it will still work.
Someone said you can press Shift + C in order to tab backwards.
Is it a case of the page not scrolling to the new comments when you press Z or the comments not being marked as new at all?
"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."
Sometimes it works
It would go from where I was at then work it’s way to the bottom and then move back to the top. Then in like 3 out of 10 times, everything would just be gone.
Actually, a lot of the time, I’ll open a thread and crappy $%# SBNation would mark every post as read.

Perhaps a run at representing Alaska in Congress. It’s likely all about increasing her national exposure.

I blame prez!
But if anyone were to be interested. Last September on my birthday, I was taken to a certain establishment in North Portland named Dancin’ Bare. There was a female employee that looked just like Sarah Palin. I think her name was Jenna. This information is just in case anyone might have a secret Sarah Palin fantasy, and is also assuming that she still works there.
I was told by Prez that I had to up my game
and take a walk on the wild side ‘cause I’d never had a comment deleted, and even he’d had some comments deleted by Ben and Dave… imagine… I’m nicer than Prez

I was junkin' this morning, i got a call at 11:52, had a gig at noon apparently, so i rapidly brushed my teeth, put on clothes, collected guitar, charts, amp and arrived in my seat of the gig at 12:02
i knew i had a gig with djangovitis today, i just thought it was at 8 pm, not noon. It all worked out fine thank my lucky stars, and the folks at the old folks home in NE probably didn’t even realize i was a tad late. Seriously, who books a jazz group at noon on a friday?
MillsFanBoy
rhetorical question
but yeah, sucked to be outside, but they had a shade tent over us, while the elderly dined in the air conditioning with the door open, some of them came outside. Not bad to only have to play for an hour though, and they feed us. I usually wake up with coffee, not burgers and beans with lemon lime soda, but what the hell, i have my iced coffee now.
MillsFanBoy
Lol I frequently have breakfast at midday in summer
so the thought of eating burgers and beans is not very appealing…
pretty bad burgers too
i didn’t want hot dogs though because i made a couple last night :-)
MillsFanBoy
no, i actually ate a couple hebrew nationals
the second one i added some smoked gouda on to make it extra fancy pants

So i googled it and it seems to be some kind of orangy-red sausage
but I trust the JD crowd, so if they like it, I’ll put it on my stuff to try when I’m in the USA.
hahaha i didn't know what that was either
and I found “Kosher foods are those that conform to the rules of Jewish religion” (Wiki) are you jewish, like Jake?

Not to stir a huge debate or anything,

Jewish people tend to feel a strong, tribal connection to their ancestors
Hence the continuation of so many Jewish traditions. Still though, a very low percentage of American Jews follow most (let alone all) of the Jewish dietary restrictions.
One of my Jewish friends didn't even know he was Jewish until another Jew friend of ours told him.
It’s safe to say he doesn’t practice any of the dietary restrictions.
Why?
I’m actually angry that I don’t get what you’re referencing to, I practically live here! It must be the sleep deprivation
I see...
I’ve actually always though that it’s very impressive to keep that level of faith through so much hardship.
I guess I especially had the muslims in mind, since, until today, I didn’t know that the jewish had dietary restrictions.
carnitas and mexican food in general i missed when i went to europe
but the kabov/kebab? guys were similar to going to a taco trucks, shave off giant carcass of meat (lamb?), panfry, add garlic, chili, maybe some lettuce and tomato for good measure, tortilla and bam!
