Hedgehog's Dilemma Junk - venti e ventuno november 2010

PrintSo how do you write a letter to someone you think is going to want to kill you.
The daily Junk Drawer (JD) fanpost is the place for true off-topic conversation and people's random thoughts.. with a goal to foster community and people have really become a family here. So if you have a one-off thought, consider posting it here.
The rules about importance and significance of the topic are suspended in each JD but keep some of these basic rules in mind:As you try and navigate through the junk drawer, remember that you can use 'Zorro' on your keypad to mark a poster as dead and move to the next one and hitting shift-A will mark all comments as read.
- Be frightful, that every image posted shows down the JD, so use dissection in how many you post. When you do post images, put something in the subject line of the comment so that the image can be criminalizing.
- Personal attacks and swearing will never be tolerated
- No pictures or talk of spiders of any kind
- Mentioning of baseball is not allowed unless it's to say it sucks and you're glad it's finally over.
- Any comment containing the words "Kevin" and/or "Durant" will be deleted and you will be banned for the rest of this blog's existence; no exceptions.
- Don't use the JD to call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads.

I have this letter I need to write. The person is someone that I've lied to in the past, who has told me threatened me to leave in the past, and, yet, I need to contact this person now. Since I've talked to him last, his life has fallen apart.. family has left him and he's facing severe legal issues. This isn't why I need to talk to him, really. I need to talk to him because I suspect one day that he will want to kill me when he discovers the truth.. and is maybe crazy enough to do it. And since I can't walk away, it seems like a good time to attempt to reach out.
It's definitely not a typical hedgehog's dilemma, but it reflects the same basic principle. We generally live our lives guided by a sense of moderation because despite a need to find closeness with others, we don't want to get hurt or to hurt others. The more we let fear of that hurt alter us, the less able we become to find true closeness. To truly be ourselves.
Finally, any advice on my situation (that I will follow)? I am considering getting a P.O. box before I write. How much risk of pain is worth to make a gesture of openness?

What should I do? Should I admit I made mistakes? Should I remind him I’ve lied to him before? What should I do?
Should I tell him how important this is? Should I really believe I have no chance to make it up? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?
Should I get hide behind my words? Want to meet someone that you hate? Should I just go out there?
Should I tell him I am not going anywhere? Should I tell him I’m a chaser of big dreams?
Should I accept my role as "The Predator"?
Maybe I should just… disappear?
Should I stop listening to my heart? it's my heart. Should I take up shooting? Should I throw my heart on the line?
Should we just he the reset? Start over? What should I do? Should I be who he wants me to be?

I'm fairly certain rule 1 was made with the assistance of a mad lib
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
Man, idol, having done something that may make someone "want to kill" you sounds like bad news.

I know, and I wish I was falling to hyperbole.
But, for now, my only hope is that I can transform his opinion before he is released. Or get a trench coat with a cattle prod built in.
IDOL!
stop getting yourself into trouble! what did I say that one time, “dear god, please be more irresponsible”? is that right? anyways, I’m sure its not your fault, but I just felt like using that line again.
my signature is a work in progress
Oh dear Claire!
That is exactly what you said (it is even still in my profile page)! If I only I would have listened or had more advice. If the dancing thing doesn’t work out for you, could I hire you to stand atop my shoulder and give me good advice? I have a long standing vacancy at the position of my conscience.
It’s not entirely my fault, but I can admit that I have made mistakes. Maybe I should have phrased this junk like a Lebron spoof.
I would consider leading such a conversation in person, maybe handing over a letter with more explanations before or after while the person is still in a "safe" environment. It's harder to be express feelings in writing.
Talk about yourself and your feelings/motivation, but give the other person the room to talk about their feelings too and ask questions why you did something. Btw research suggests people are less likely to get killed if they tell the attacker personal information about them like what they still plan to do, their name, their kids and other relatives, etc ;-)

Brilliant advice, as usual.
I am forced to state a significant amount of this in a letter because his current situation actually doesn’t allow for visiting. But giving a lot of personal details seems like a really good move. Sharing stories and making it personal when he is vulnerable. Could work..
Yeah, a greek paper is reporting that the Hornets will trade Peja Stojakovic along with Jerryd Bayless to Toronto for Jarrett Jack, David Andersen and Marcus Banks. Peja and his agent have good connections there, so it could be true.
ridiculous-- have the same guys been traded for each other... twice?
but this would be a good time to pick up jerryd in fantasy, i believe
PHILLY!
the only players left on waivers in my league are trash
hell, i saw kris humphries was doing well, and went to get him, but he was already gone.
too much competition in my league
PHILLY!
I'd have to figure that his main competition for playing time would be Leandro Barbosa.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
If playing time, money, and location are Peja Stojakovic's thing, he should be happy in Toronto. The ...
Raptors need a starting small forward who can shoot the 3 to cover for DeMar DeRozan — who’s on his way to busting Gerald Green style — at the other wing position. Stojakovic won’t have much competition from Linas Kleiza or Julian Wright, either. Oh, and from a financial perspective, the Serb has got a 10% trade kicker in his contract. Lastly, I bet that he’d rather spend more time in Toronto than New Orleans.
Back to the floundering DeRozan, though, for I can see the arrival of Stojakovic pushing him to the bench instead of Sonny Weems, who’s had a breakout season thus far. Oh well, it’s not as if the refined wings from the 2009 draft class (i.e., Terrence Williams and Gerald Henderson) have fared any better than the raw DeRozan.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
It's close to happening, too.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=5828835
It looks like it’ll have to be split into two different transactions, though.
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=23yztkk
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=28d9t6q
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
Yet, if that's the case, I wonder if the New Orleans Hornets must first waive someone — such as ...
Didier Ilunga-Mbenga or Pops Mensah-Bonsu, whose contracts aren’t fully guaranteed — since the first transaction would be a 3-for-1 trade and, as it is, the team’s roster currently stands at 14 players.
Also, I wonder if in the second transaction — wherein Toronto uses a portion of its trade exception from the Chris Bosh sign-and-trade deal to acquire Jerryd Bayless, who currently can’t be dealt in conjuction with another player due to having been acquired by the Hornets during the past 60 days — the Raptors would be required to send an outgoing asset as trade filler (e.g., DeeAndre Hulett).
This is one of those times in which Storyteller’s knowledge comes in handy.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
Stein confirms
Greek report (Sport24) on NOR-TOR talks dead on, multiple sources confirm. Inside stuff: Jarrett Jack one of CP3’s closest friends on Earth
Nola fans seem not very happy if that is all they get for finally flipping Peja's big contract
But well by himself he isn’t worth much anymore, and Banks is also expiring so it’s not like they take on $15 million in salary.
For New Orleans, it's all about how they value Jarrett Jack.
The trade gets the Hornets under the luxury tax, too, which is important to consider when looking at it from George Shinn’s perspective.

People usually are who they are.
That’s certainly the case with me.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
Nah, it's just that I think a person's personality is an innate trait.
For better or worse, we are who we are based heavily on inherent qualities. While there’s no winner in the nature v. nuture debate, I can’t deny the apparent impact of nature in this instance.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
Personality disorders don't magically disappear, though.
I, for example, will always be hampered by some degree of Anankastic Personality Disorder — which is also known as Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, although that isn’t to be confused with the more well-known Obssessive- Complusive Disorder — in my life.
http://psychcentral.com/disorders/sx26.htm
I, however, take ownership of that flaw, which is just one of many. Sadly, most human beings seem to either dismiss their flaws or, worse yet, altogether ignore their flaws with an alamaring lack of self-awareness.
That bothers me, too, since nobody is perfect — unless you redfine the word “perfect” to cheapen its intended meaning — and, in turn, each of us should admit to being a screwed up individual in one way or another.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
You have Anakin Skywalker Personality Disorder?
No, I agree, some things are just inherent natural traits (positive or negative) that someone just has.
But some things are a product of immaturity. And people outgrow them.

With Jerryd Bayless, the just seems to be a legit ...
narcissist.
And yes, I know I’m playing armchair psychologist; thus, take what I’m saying here with a grain of salt.
So, with that disclaimer out of the way, let me say I feel safe in betting that Bayless will never change if he’s got a Narcissistic Personality Disorder and is unaware of having it.
Though, to some extent, being a narcissist should be beneficial to a professional athlete, since having an inflated self-worth and bloated ego can possibly bode well for success.
If nothing else, it’ll provide someone with a can-do attitude and go-getter mentality.
It, however, can also create roadblocks in life — for arrogantly thinking you’re the best at something may bring about an unwillingness to make changes that are needed to better one’s self — which appears to have occurred with Bayless in his career aspirations as a NBA player.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
I just don't know
I think he seems like a cocky kid.
A for-reals narcissist seems like a stretch. In this case, I think your bias against his game (which you don’t like for valid reasons that certainly haven’t been proven incorrect) is causing you to make assumptions about his personality.
I know you got the disclaimer there, but I don’t think there’s any sort of evidence for this that we can see. And people/players seem to like him, the person.
He’s a rich kid who has been a cock of the walk. That’d make anyone cocky.
#20
Yeah, "cocky" might be the best way to ...
describe Jerryd Bayless.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
Flaws and disorders and traits are always part of us.
But they can change in how they impact our lives both in how we let them impact our lives and the degree/severity of the conditions can alter over time.
And, I fully agree. I think flaws are what makes us human.. and understanding one’s and other’s flaws is part of growing and changing in your life with them.

There is a mandatory ban tonight on the BEdger halftime meetup!!!!
Well, until you guys watch my nephews dance performance at halftime.
I’ll be down on the floor watching too so wave!
How’s everyone?
Pants on the ground.
I'll shoot lasers at your eyes so you see me.
I’m great; how’re you? Your nephew’s crew looked dope on that video.
i’m really well. i miss you guys. heard you all meeting up this morning. i can’t make it. spending some time with the fam bam before heading east tomorrow.
you should make a sign, “That’s a BEdger’s Nephew!!!!!!!!”
Pants on the ground.
Yup, insane morning meetup plans.
We’ll just have to make a point to have a number of get togethers over December. I should definitely be at the Spirit of 77 meetup too.
Enjoy your fam time, ma bedga; cherish it, in fact.

I’ll be there rooting for Wesley to smack his old team upside the head and in my seat at halftime.
She was on the fence on going to this one.
But most likely it will be her because she’ll be gone for the next several home games on a trip down to San Diego and will probably want to get one more in.
Done and done.
I’ll send her the text informing her immediately. How long has your nephew’s crew been together?
Anyone know a good mobile app for NBA stats?
I have a few that are good for following games live and getting box scores but I have not been able to find one that has a good layout of season stats.

Idol, as to your problem, I think the more you can be honest about everything the better
and you should definitely express your concerns about the feelings of everyone involved. I would completely own the fact that you were dishonest before, and express your regret about that, and your understanding about how this person may not have any reason to trust you. But often times it can be disarming to a person to be totally let in on the truth about the situation. If you don’t completely open up, and this person finds out something that you left out, that’s the kind of thing that leads to further mistrust as well as speculation, which from the limited info you gave us tells me, you want to avoid. If this person is potentially violent make sure and try and remove any motivation for him to be violent towards you, that could potentially include at this person’s request removing yourself from the situation that could be causing this person to want to be violent towards you, perhaps temporarily, but perhaps permanently.
It doesn’t sound good man, take care of yourself, and be smart like that big brain you got will let you.
Sure things might not be looking great right now, but look on the bright side. I have liquor.
Good advice, man.
But the only thing I can’t bear to do is remove myself from the situation entirely. That’s what I’m struggling with now. I want to be open, honest, and disarming. I don’t want to be provoking or belittling, but I need to express just as equally that I am not going to go away.
I’m on an interesting path, my friend, and I appreciate your concern. I’ll definitely be as smart as I can pull off while not betraying my heart. :)
I'm so pissed.
there were two sections of Math 309. I was in C, which was full. B had some spots, and was at a better time. So I swapped them yesterday.
I wake up today to a notice that Math 309B has been canceled, and that I’m screwed.
Frantic emails to the department will hopefully be effective.
That’s lame. Where is the A section? Make sure to tell them how you really feel about this a la Idol :-)
Not good
I’ve had that problem before and if it weren’t for being able to restructure future classes I would have had to graduate at a later date.
Keep an eye out though – people drop out and you might be able to get back in.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
it's not a grad requirement.
It’s for my math minor, and I don’t need the credits. So it wouldn’t be something that would delay graduation at all. It would be frustrating, but I think I can get in if I go to classes the first week.

Terrible kicking and punting in this game. You would think that’s what even mediocre teams could do well.
Hope the Yalie taken off the field on a stretcher in the final quarter will be alright, that looked like a bad stinger or potential neck/back injury.

I’m not sure as to how you should go about your situation other than expressing how sorry you are in person. The only time I was ever in the predicament where someone hated me that much, I avoided them at all costs and played by their terms until they were ready to forgive. When that day finally came several years later in a safe environment (the funeral of a mutual friend), I let them know how sorry I really was.

I used 2 parts dried cranberries and one part raisins with brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, a little ground clove, lemon zest and a dash of balsamic vinegar for the filling and baked it in a pate brisee crust. Sooooooo good with a scoop of french vanilla ice cream. Wow! I think your grandmother would be proud of me.

Had a dream last night that the Blazers were down to Memphis (maybe Charlotte) by 2 with 24 seconds left ...
Rudy tried for a 3 but missed. Camby gets the rebound and kicks it out to me (!!!!!) and i swing it to Rudy again, who misses another 3, but Batum grabs it, swings it to me, and i somehow find Rudy alone again at the arc. He drills this one, the Garden goes crazy and all is well as we are up with 14 seconds left. BUT a defensive lapse gives up a quick layup and we are suddenly down by 1 with 4.something seconds left. with no timeouts left, someone hurls a long inbound pass to mid-court, where someone chucks it to just outside the left side of the paint where Wesley Mathews gathers the pass, jukes a defender and jams it home just before the horn. BLAZERS WIN.
It was an awesome awesome dream. One of my favorite ever.

So strange how the more hateful horrific things can come of as nothing more than mild anxiety in a dream — hack someone’s head off and have the same concern disposing of the body that you might have for finding a parking space in real life.)

Great dream bruh!
OKAY my turn—
I had a dream where in the reality of the dream, it was ‘cool’ to make big half-inch wide gashes in the back of your neck. And for whatever reason, as soon as ya did the big gash (it was with a half-inch wide kinda GOUGING tool, it dug in) the sides of the wound would curl up like bacon.
You had to do at least 3 to stay in, and real tough dudes could do up to 8. It was cool, in my dream.
THEN I was dreaming about basketball, same dream, and it was normal. Then some dudes in baseball uniforms ran onto the court, and one tried to catch a pass and his fingers blew off. Blood went everywhere. It was crazy; I checked to see if it was just a basketball and it was.
Then I woke up and got some water, and told myself “I gotta get back to sleep to see what happened” and then I realized that isn’t how it works.

"The Guilty Rock Monster is Framed for a Crime he DID Commit"
Detective Charles Dudikoff has been chasing the murderous Rock Monster for over 5 years now… but the Rock Monster is too smart, too careful. He never leaves enough evidence for a conviction.
But Det. Dudikoff knew he was guilty… He just KNEW it.
Vowing to get this Rock Monster scum off the streets any way he can, Dudikoff sneaks into the morgue in the middle of the night. He finds the Rock Monster’s last alleged victim (some poor runaway teen; no known family or friends) and draws a few vials of her blood.
Dudikoff then breaks into the Rock Monster’s high-rise apartment and pours the blood on the Rock Monster’s favorite Ed Hardy t-shirt and throws the shirt back in the Monster’s huge laundry pile.
The next morning, warrant in hand, Detective Charles Dudikoff and his men search the Rock Monster’s apartment and find the bloody Ed Hardy Tee. The Rock Monster screams that the blood was planted by Dudikoff, but who is gonna believe him? He’s just an evil Rock Monster.
It’s an open and shut case. Dudikoff got his man— or in this case, his monster!

31-0 Cardinal at half.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Cal just completely burned out last week
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
That Stanford loss to Oregon didn’t really bug me at the time since I figured Stanford was a top 10 team but would lose again at some point. I’m not sure anybody could beat Stanford on a neutral field right now.
long twos FTL
is Alamo > Holiday now?
I’m assuming that due to BSU and TCU, Stanford doesn’t get an at-large BCS berth?
Here's the deal
If the Rose Bowl loses either the Big Ten/Pac-10 champ to the NC game, they are REQUIRED to take the top non-qualifying conference school if this school is eligible for a BCS Birth, UNLESS that school goes to the NC game.
Basically they are required to take TCU/BSU should Auburn and Oregon both win out and play in the NC game.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
If TCU/Boise State play in the national title vs. Oregon
You’re going to the Rose.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I was thinking
Oregon’s gotta be mad. They’ll either face an Auburn team that could be ineligible, or two non-power schools.
TCU is really good, too.
Oregon vs Auburn would be awful defensively.
Like, both teams could score 70.
Oregon doesn’t get much credit for beating TCU or BSU, but would get murdered by the press for losing.
Auburn's D is worse
And a NC is a NC, against any school.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
It's very interesting to me that Oregon fans seem to be writing off BSU
as they did with Ohio State last year.
Despite the final scores, Oregon has sputtered to start in recent weeks against pretty mediocre competition.
We're not writing them off
Just not worrying about them yet, got to win the last 2.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
c'mon Sky
You are obviously looking forward and not focusing on “the last 2.”
If TCU/Boise State play in the national title vs. Oregon
That's the only way Stanford goes to Pasadena
Just saying, baring Oregon dropping its last 2.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I don't think it's dumb at all to look ahead considering the Ducks should win their last two games.
But you gotta admit that you’ve been talking like UO’s in the title game for a few weeks now.
I'm not saying they shouldn't
but Duck fans have been talking about their NC opponent for a month, but then say they’re focusing one game at a time. If you were focusing one game at a time, ya wouldn’t be talking about prospective NC opponents!
The team can focus on one game at a time
Doesn’t mean we have to.
Also, we’re ranked #1 for the first time ever this year, cue ridiculous celebrations.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I'm not talking about the team, I'm talking about the fans.
A lot of Ducks fans are saying they’re going one game at a time, but then talking about opponents.
These two things are completely opposite. There’s nothing wrong with looking ahead, but then I keep hearing from fans “we’re not assuming anything.”
Yeah BSU has played a much tougher schedule
by southern oregon on Nov 20, 2010 2:41 PM PST up reply actions
I'm not saying Boise's played a tough schedule.
Oregon’s obviously had a tougher road. But, if we look at the fact that BSU’s beaten Oregon the last two years, and Oregon’s struggled a bit with some weaker competition, it would be a serious mistake to overlook them.
Oregon starts slow
But finishes strong. It’d be an interesting game. One I think Oregon probably wins but by maybe a TD at most.

It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
I have a new take on the faking leg cramp thing.
Not only are defenses faking cramps to catch their breath because they’re tired in the 3rd & 4th quarters, but they’re also doing it so they can get the play called in. The Cal game was just sick. Oregon didn’t have any drives yet in the game, on their first drive of any significance in the 2nd quarter Cal starts cramping. Oregon ran like 5 plays, Yeah right. Cal was just stalling to get the call in.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
here's my take on it
Chip Kelly would do pretty much anything to get an edge in a football game. You don’t think he would have players fake cramps if the other offense did what Oregon does?
hmmmmmmm
My first response is no. But really I don’t have a feel for what Kelly might do. So I guess I’m not sure. But still lean towards no. Oregon’s defense is on the field for 2/3 of the game some games. I’m sure their tied some games (more so last year), and we haven’t seen it and didn’t see it last year.
Not that we’ve needed it this year, but last year we could of used a cramp or two.

Apparently the Demps doesn’t buy into the AK1984 theory that chemistry doesn’t matter. The ESPN pundits Stein and Hollinger seem firmly convinced this is all about making CP3 happy.
it's not about chemistry, though.
It’s about getting as much talent for this year as possible to keep Chris Paul.
In the main page thread, I concluded Jerryd Bayless should be traded ...
by Toronto to Sacramento for Jason Thompson. With Luther Head starting alongside Tyreke Evans, Bayless would be able to play alongside a good backcourt fit, Beno Udrih, off the bench for 12 or so minutes per game.
It wouldn’t be a lot of playing time for Bayless, but at least he wouldn’t be fighting for minutes with Leandro Barbosa to earn the chance to be stuck playing alongside crappy wings like Linas Klezia and DeMar DeRozan.

Pants on the ground.
I take chemistry as, teams play better if they like the people they're with.
Trading for a guy to keep Chris Paul isn’t really chemistry.
How's Chris Paul played this season with Jerryd Bayless as his backup?
The answer is marvelously, which indicates that he performs fine even with a guy on his team who he’s most likely apathetic toward on a personal level.
Acquiring Jarrett Jack isn’t something that’s done to increase Paul’s on-court production; rather, it’s a business move, with the goal being to convince Paul to stay with the franchise over the long haul.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
JJ > Bayless
so if Bayless is in the bench bitching about playing time while not producing etc, CP3 rather have someone there who can produce and not bitch that he’s the best thing since slice bread and should be on the court.
in the long run, that could be tiring and affect not only cp3’s game but the whole team.
Jarret Jack will be fit in better and play better which will make for stronger chemistry in the long run

Richard Jefferson got his groove back ...
that way.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
Regardless of who's his backup, Chris Paul will be Chris Paul on ...
the court. Anyhow, you’re right that acquiring Jarrett Jack was definitely an upgrade at both backup guard spots — as he’s better than Marcus Thornton, Willie Green, and the departing Jerryd Bayless — yet, that’s simply a matter of on-court production.
Now, apropos of the off-court rationale behind this deal, it’s twofold.
For starters, the trade gets New Orleans under the luxury tax; hence, it was a fiscally prudent pair of transactions. That’s obvious, though.
More importantly, however, acquiring Jack was done with the hope of hypothetically convincing Paul — who’s so marketable that he boosts the value of the organization, which is important if George Shinn once again tries to sell the franchise after things fell apart with Gary Chouest — to consider his long-term future with the ballclub.
Of course, Paul isn’t eligible for a contract extension at the moment — for it hasn’t yet been three years since he’s signed his current deal — however, he’s under contract through the 2011-2012 season. So, with that in mind, the goal is to win now, while Paul’s long-term future with the Hornets will be dealt with post-lockout.

Billups, Kidd and Kaman replaced Roy, Paul and Bryant. Dre has an outside chance to be an injury replacement, but he’ll likely be behind Kobe, Paul, DWill, Nash, Westbrook, Parker or Manu, Monta and/or Curry, Roy, Billups… maybe a few others.

the guy's a beast who might set the record for benching at teh combine

It’s gotta be so discouraging to have their entire offensive line block you.
He'll be a first rounder for sure, perhaps top 10/15
He’s played injured all year. OSU, outside of Rodgers and Paea, is either too young or not talented enough pretty much across the board, but they should be better next year if their line play can improve

Those two with a more experienced Katz are a very nice core group of skill players

oh, definitely.
I think the problem with the team is on both lines; Quizz has to battle just to get a few yards on most plays, and they can’t generate any push into the backfield on defense.
We’ve had to really cut back on the playbook, because Katz was getting murdered in the first few games. He has like .5 seconds to throw.

But regardless, Joel and Camby are different kinds of players. I’ll be glad to have them both.
power forward isn't about scoring.
Camby’s more of a high-post facilitator, weak side defensive player, and out of area rebounder… not crazy to call him a 4.
by Cablinasian on Nov 20, 2010 10:39 PM PST up reply actions
Wow, uhhhh
That is too strong. Camby isn’t a pure center like Joel – he is a PF/C
I believe in Greg Oden
He's a 5, especially in the current era.
Guys like Joel are more of a throwback nowadays.
The cake was a lie.
Marcus Camby and I take SERIOUS offense to this comment.
What you probably meant to say was “In other news, the Blazers will have a another real center in their active lineup on Friday.”

Nah, Camby is a true PF.
I love Camby a ton. He’s an incredible rebounder and shot blocker for a PF, but I think of him as a talented, defensively-minded PF.
it's the coaches job to "make" plays, it's the player's job to "execute" those plays.
No wonder we lost.

He'll probably have Camby-style injuries making him miss about 10-20 games per season over his career.
He doesn’t seem to have body disproportions or something
We took a player with injury related red flags despite another can’t miss prospect being available in the draft. Some will take the position— a very reasonable one— that Oden’s upside was worth the risk. Others will disagree.

Jazz have been playing well this season. Oh, and our best (and most clutch) player wasn’t playing.
And this is what the Jazz do
They make you think you can beat them on the road, and then they yank it out from under you.
This was actually their smallest comeback win of their current road streak, not like Miami, which blew a 22 point lead.

Toronto-New Orleans have re-structured their deal a bit. Nawlings gets a big trade exception (difference between salaries of Peja and Jack), Toronto uses Bosh's exception to absorb Jerryd.
Demps is the new Trader Bob, but that wasn’t a bad deal. They can still make a move at the deadline if something comes up with that exception, another one from the Peterson deal and maybe one of their guards to facilitate some larger deal and absorb a player or get a draft pick for their troubles.

It's been said before (the D Miles, Odom, Q, Dre and Olowokandi team)
but Griffin, Gordon, Kaman, Bledsoe and Aminu is a pretty decent young core. They could be a playoff contender next season, that is a lot of talent. If Sterling sells at Stern’s behest and new ownership brings in someone other than VDN, I’d say 7/8 seed

Roy will also help, just not on defense. He’s still a net positive to the team, though.

Recovering from that type of injury is no picnic. Joel AND Roy could be good, seeing as we need the volume offense with Camby and Joel producing next to none.

I might get tickets to the game on the 26th
For thursday’s game, they started the intros with a new inspirational video. It was really awesome, and it featured a lot of Joel getting into it with other players.

Unless he's absolutely hobbling, I'm not too worried
His game isn’t based on being an athletic freak. If he’s not 100% physically, he won’t be quite the same, but he’ll still be very useful.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
He needs his agility and decent lateral quickness
If he becomes too slow footed, he’ll lose his what makes him great defensively.
I believe in Greg Oden
what made him great defensively were impeccable rotations and great one-on-one post defense.
He’ll be a good post defender either way.
Impeccable rotations are harder if you have limited mobility
He will still be a damn good post up defender, but we are being abused on cuts and drives inside more than just overpowering bigs. I want him to be able to do everything he could do, I’m just not confident.

So I did not know that. I’d imagine pining for Joel is at an all time high then.
Me too, but I think he'll be better than Marks, Oberto, Dante, Howard, Pendergraph, etc. It will be nice to have a real backup center again.
Since he never gave us any offense anyway it should be easier to get back to rebounding and blocking shots. Some of that is just being in good position.
by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 21, 2010 3:35 AM PST up reply actions
I never said he'd fix this defense.
I do think that our offense stalled a lot at the end of the game tonight. We settled for long jumpers and turned the ball over a lot.
Hopefully (depending on how healthy Brandon gets), he will fix that. I thought our defense (except for the last quarter tonight) has improved in the last two games.

No, I am going to a friend's house
A cute couple I am friends with are having a Thanksgiving for peoples who can’t get home. They already got the stuffing, turkey, mashed taters, etc handled so I wanted to make a nice homemade bread pudding.

Bread pudding is pretty forgiving as long as you have nice, stale bread
and a good ratio of the bread/custard. Then you can mess around with it and substitute dried cranberries for raisins and throw in a handful of toasted pecans or something like that. My mom made some kind of sweetened cream to pour over it for kids. Adults got the whiskey sauce. Be sure to use good bread and let it get stale.
Time for bed. Two ships passing in the night.
#52--------I believe in Greg Oden
This quote seems strange.
But sources say that Granger, just like Batum, bears an “unavailable” stamp.
The Pacers, as you’d imagine, have made it clear they have zero interest in serving as the third team in a deal that costs them Granger and lands Anthony somewhere else. And Indy isn’t one of those teams willing to trade for Anthony without a signed extension, which only adds to the notion that Granger is unattainable.
Just like Batum.-Marc Stein

In regards to the poll question.
If there was a lockout next year and the world were to end in 2012, it’s very possible that the first of those events that would happen would be the end of the world. Or, if the end of the world were to happen right after he made it back, that would also be sad. Although with how strong Cho said the other post-MF knee is, maybe Greg’s knees (and blackberries and cockroaches) will be the only thing left when it happens.
Additionally, here’s the full 116th sonnet of Shakespeare:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
And this is the intro to my letter so far
I want to start this message by saying that I am sorry that when we we first communicated, I wasn’t honest about who I was with you. I never expected to write you again (And, likely, I am not someone that you would ever want to hear from.) but rarely does life go as we plan. Still, I have to write to you today anyways because there’s no reason for me to run from the future I seek because of fear. You may not have many reasons to forgive me, and even fewer to accept me, but I felt it important that I contact you now and introduce myself to you for real since you will learn about me eventually.
aww, poor guy!

There is NO way that Melo would agree to that extension when no one was left on that team. But if he did? Then maybe the Nets would consider it to have a real name.
I would agree with you.
But they are planning on becoming a relevant big city team and big city teams don’t care about impressive young talent, they care about big names. The Brooklyn Nets need a MUCH bigger name than Brooke Lopez and I don’t think they will have the same attachment to any player that could get them a marquee name.
The team that is doing horrible in that trade is Denver. Like they would pay more in luxury tax to get rid of Melo just to really get back.. what? LA? Another PF? Really?
Yeah, and we win BIG.
Atlanta wins pretty big too. NJ loses big but maybe there’s at least some incentive. Denver. Seriously. Would have to enjoy paying massive amounts of money to be beaten and made a fool of to get anywhere near that trade.

Trying to model the Oden situation as a prisoner's dilemma, but it doesn't really work
Hard to assign values to all outcomes, and it’s really a multi-step process. Maybe I’ll have some inspiration in the next days going through my old decision making and game theory notes. If not a Nash Equilibrium (unlikely) then maybe at least a dominant strategy for one side or the other. Or re-visiting the “Joelconomics” post with future opportunity costs to see if there would be a clear outcome.
First, you would have to consider this an iterated game.
It’s going to be tough to know you have even relative utilities correct, but I am going to bet that there is some kind of saddle point to this.
The Seattle Seahawks got screwed late in teh first half on two penalties.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
Let me elaborate.
The roughing the passer on Raheem Brock was bogus — which indirectly led to a New Orleans touchdown on that drive — as was the holding call on Chester Pitts on the Seahawks last possession of the half.
Oh well, the 3rd quarter beating the team is sufferring at the moment rendered all of that moot.

April 16, 2008 Missed the last 5 games of the regular season (broken hand).
April 18, 2007 Missed the last 26 games of the regular season (left knee injury).
November 28, 2006 Missed 13 games (abdominal injury).
April 19, 2006 Missed the last 8 games of the regular season (knee injury).
March 14, 2006 Missed 15 games (knee injury).
April 14, 2004 Missed the last 17 games of the regular season (left knee injury).
March 22, 2003 Missed 30 games (left ankle injury).
November 27, 2002 Missed 12 games (left ankle injury).
So, why would extending his contract be safer than keeping Oden?
You probably still have to pay him something pretty substantial and he hasn’t been very healthy at all. Seems equally risky with less upside.

Well I would trade his contract if something major comes up, but I know people who wouldn't ;)
He might still return to us next summer. And yeah he shouldn’t get more money than Greg either way.

Often on fumbles during handoffs it’s the fault of the RB, but those also go on the quarterback. Flacco had one of those today.
Probably
It’s likely hard to distinguish, so they just give everything to the guy who touched it last or was supposed to protect it
I see him on your bench, but the matchup interface shows him correct so I suppose it's all right

Snow update
As snow began falling in parts of the Portland and Vancouver metro areas, the National Weather Service issued a winter storm advisory for most of northwestern Oregon.
Snow showers are expected to continue throughout the afternoon and then taper off until flurries are expected to increase again Monday afternoon. Up to 1 inch is expected in the advisory area and 2 inches could be on the ground by the evening commute tomorrow, possibly hindering traffic.

Regarding Toronto, here's the final report on the recent trade(s).
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5835192
“Stojakovic’s contract expires after this season, and Colangelo said he has close to $25 million in expiring contracts. He also has more than $12 million left on a trade exception that was part of Bosh’s sign-and-trade deal with the Miami Heat.”
According to that, I assume Jerryd Bayless was ultimately acquired a separate transaction.
Oh, and on a side note, I wonder if Peja Stojakovic had to waive a portion of his 10% trade kicker.

One of the many assumptions being made
Is that what Phx trainers is vastly different than what everyone else is doing.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
I question that assumption too. From our resident (Arizona-based) ortho:
If you read enough of these posts, one gets the impression that the PHX training staff has near magical properties. However, interviews with Aaron Nelson, the head athletic trainer and Erik Phillips, the head strength & conditioning coach don’t employ any kind of secret techniques. They emphasis proper training, balancing strength with flexibility and developing good proprioception (i.e. balance).
Wiggada Wiggada Zers!
On the flip side
If someone in one of the injured players’ camps thought the treatment they had received was subpar, word would have trickled out.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
Gimme a couple of days and I could come up with a few quotes
I’d do it now, but I’m supposed to be watching a movie with the mister.
Pryzzy, for starters:
Jay has been fantastic. I talk to him just about everyday. I’ve been to Portland a few times this summer, and he’s been out here to see me. He’s on top of things. Our training and conditioning staff does an incredible job. There are so many things you can’t control in this game. Injuries are a part of things. Bad things happen, and those guys do absolutely everything they can do. They care about all of us very much, like we’re friends, or even brothers.
The other one that comes off the top of my head: Juwan liked the access to Pilates stuff (there’s a Pilates Reformer in the training room) and said it’s helped him in his old age. His video isn’t hard to find. Pretty sure Camby has said positive things about the trainers too.
The only guy I ever heard bad-mouth the trainers was Rasheed. It bugged the hell out of him that someone told him he had to spend time in the weight room.

Did they change that rule that the whistle blows the play dead after the Ed Hoculi Chargers / Broncos fiasco a few seasons ago?
According to the way Hocculi explained that play call, once the whistle is blown the play is dead and the refs can’t change the call probably because of the reason you cited.

Although, it should be noted, that he was considering coming (late due to work) for the Spirit of 77 meetup on the first. So maybe he can explain himself and we can all guilt him into making more appearances in these parts.
he was good at getting us doing social stuff. As long as we see him once in a while, that’s probably okay, too.

Yeah, I guess I've not been alone at this time of year since I was like 18 and living with parents.
Which isn’t exactly alone. It does suck.. especially because mrs. idol was an amazing baker and would make holiday pies and cookies that were crazy good every year. tho, she was too sick last year.
But a new era will come one day, and I will stronger for having made it through a couple sucky holiday seasons alone. Still, I wish the holidays would just hurry up and get moving along or that I could hibernate until February.

so Udonis has Torn Ligment in the ankle i believe
and pryz had it in the knee?
why is Haslems timetable shorter? because a torn ligament is still a torn ligament, sounds pretty bad.

Torn ligament in the ankle = sprained ankle
It’s a smaller thing to repair. The patellar ligament is huge.

Only times texting is great.
When you cannot talk to someone or when you expect that you will just have to leave a msg on their voice mail anyway, in which case I’ll always choose texting first.
If I could always talk on the phone to everyone I want to talk on the phone to, it’d be fine. But I can’t, so texting does it.
Yeah, I’m fine talking on the phone with some peeps. But with most others texting is the preferred method.
I agree.
I’d rather have a two or three text convo than a two or three minute convo. On the other hand, I have text’d back and forth for hours if I am not able to just talk with them. In those cases, I’d prefer the phone but there’s no choice.

I wish you wouldn't refer to that game.
I was just thinking the other day that this was the playoff series where we had the best chance of making noise.
I don’t see us getting to 54 again in the Roy era. Do you? Then it’ll take us a while to rebuild. Cho’s going to have to work some magic to get us back to 54 sooner. Certainly possible, but I’m not seeing it.
long twos FTL
meh
we will hopefully be able to make it out of the first round of the playoffs, which would become the new high water mark. disappointing, but still…
I still have faith in Nic Batum and Greg Oden
and in the fact that we have (reported) interest in Iggy and Varejao.
Roy will be better than he has been and I think that we win 54+ in 12-13, if not next year.
This year seems doomed to 45-50 wins.
I believe in Greg Oden
We could've gotten to the WCFs that year
Pretty easily if only we hadn’t drawn Houston.
I believe in Greg Oden
If we win the three way tiebreaker (just for example)
We get NO then Dallas. NO was a mess and any playoff team could’ve beaten them that year. Dallas we struggled against in 08/09 but even then, they are a better matchup than Houston.
Its a shame looking back that things worked out that way. We have hit the hot team in the first round two years straight.
I believe in Greg Oden
Those were some great games.
And the healthiest I think we had ever been. Was anyone injured right then? Just Marty and his foot, right?
We were a great 4th quarter team
I remember the comebacks, the clutch shots…..it was awesome.

I tend to forget Blake being clutch even though he occasionally was (and occasionally was the diametrically opposed opposite).

He has defeated Adelman in a playoff series and taken Pop to 6. Just sayin’ (and playing Nate’s advocate).
long twos FTL
Well, first, I don't put credit in taking a series "to 6" or "to 7"
As success. Same reason I never feel right saying that OKC experienced success in the postseason taking the Lakers as far as they did. It just doesn’t really mean as much as it sounds like it means when people say this. Also, just not getting blow out of a series doesn’t mean you are making or can make the adjustments that it takes to win a well-matched series.
Likewise, I think the Kings were done by 2005, and Nate also didn’t have to make any adjustments in that series to win it.
yeah I’m with you. Also, Jerome James channeled an in prime Shaq in that series vs. the Kings. lolz.
long twos FTL
Hah! that was unreal.
And I’m with you on your overall point. Experience, in a vacuum doesn’t do anything for anyone on the court. Maybe one could argue that the Lakers became a better team after Boston beat them in 2008, but I really doubt there’s any relationship between just playing in the playoffs and doing better in future appearances.
I am not criticizing anyone here
but I find it pretty hilarious that a discussion about the happy times of 2008-2009 turned into a fresh criticism of our playoff performance.

not entirely, but he was lazy rotating, and was soft offensively, which made it so Houston never had to punt offense and go with Hayes. LA had one good game that series.

I thought he played well in Games 2 and 5.
he made a bunch of shots over Hayes/Landry in the second quarter of Game 2, keeping us in it. Good in the post in Game 5.
And I still maintain that he wasn’t lazy rotating. He played his heart out in that series. It’s just hard to double Yao underneath and not concede Scola. That was the game plan. Our game plan was to give Scola a bunch of uncontested mid range shots.

I still blame Nate first and foremost.
But you are right. I knew Houston was the worst matchup at the time, and I never even really considered Yao or Brooks. Just the way Scola was with LA had me scared.
That was exactly the thought that hit me too.
And it renewed an extreme dislike for Nate for blowing our one chance and made me dislike the memory of KP and management from back then more for the fact that we STILL have Nate.

He’s been with this team for over 3 years, and by all accounts, he’s been treated like royalty by the whole organization, despite the injuries. He seems like the type of guy who would appreciate that. Also, especially being so young, I’d like to think he feels like the Blazers is his family.

there’s no such thing as a “toxic offer” in this case, I don’t think. That term gets misused. The Blazers didn’t make a toxic offer of Millsap or Matthews. The offers were unpalatable to match, however.
well, that’s what I mean. I just used the term we see all the time in the media. If someone offers to take a bigger risk on Greg than we want to, I could see the front office letting him go, and that would really freaking suck.

Not positional need
Just positions. Is Greg a PG or PF? No. Hence, Kahn has little use for him.

He has already had his PG year
His Forward year, now it is time for Centers or SGs. Who knows what he’ll do?

I was ready to just say screw it
That was my immediate reaction. There is some weird logic to the fact I think he will be OK after this surgery though.
His right knee has had no issues post micro, why shouldn’t the same be true of the left? Gives him time to make sure the tendonitis is gone, the patella is healed anyway.
Clean slate for Greg – he’s gonne be special, still.
I believe in Greg Oden
Do you just think he is fragile at this point?
I accept that possibility, while really hoping I’m right and this will be it as far as his knees go.
I believe in Greg Oden
Injuries I get
Who has ever continually struggled with fouls over their NBA career? If he gets time, that issue lessens.
I believe in Greg Oden
Maybe you should go make a new junk about it.

I was harassing people to make their first JD
When tblazers was still in diapers.
And I’mma rec ^that too
I've been working on getting PG to do one
But it seems like a hopeless cause.
I guess it is.
I believe in Greg Oden
None of the elite Cs we like to compare Greg to ever had anywhere near the foul trouble he’s had, plus these injuries will sap some of his quickness, adding to the problem, plus its just taking him so long to get started.
I think it’ll get somewhat better but continue to be a big issue. His decision making re: fouls just isn’t very good. Hope I’m wrong. And with that, I’m actually going to sleep.
long twos FTL
Fair enough
We can agree to disagree on that one. He is a smart player a will adjust IMO.
I believe in Greg Oden
I felt a little better after hearing Jensen talk about
how strong Oden’s bones were, and the tests they’ve done, etc.
It seems like a lot of it is just bad luck. It’s gotta be.

That's what we all wanna believe
I still don’t think he is injury prone necessarily. If the problem in the knee that just got micro was the same as what happened in the right knee, then I think that could explain the issues he has had.
I believe in Greg Oden
I don't know what injury prone really means.
But we do have to accept that not a year has gone by in the past, what, four or five years of his life without an injury and/or a surgery.
Scratch that, wrong season.
Ime was still in San Antonio then.

Batum's voice should be captured electronically for posterity.
I would like to record him saying every word in the dictionary.
There should be a voice off between Batum and AK
I have a feeling it would be like the irresistible force vs. the immovable object.
I believe in Greg Oden
He wasn't even doing that early on.
Didn’t some Nj newspaper guy touted his defensive ability the other day?
The cake was a lie.
I don't think I was debating your point.
I just have very low expectations regarding Outlaw, so anything positive he does was a bonus to me, much like how I am trying to become regarding Aldridge.
The cake was a lie.
That would make a good signature for someone

Well, the positives are that we played a game filled with dropped TDs and penalties everywhere..
and still came out with a W against a good team. Defense is rounding into shape which makes me feel lot better about this team.
Now, if the O line can stop committing big penalties.

yeah my “roommate” (that’s for you, Dan) bought the Gap one. I bought the American Apparel one this weekend. Also; Gap is doing up to 40% off online today only (if you go to their site you see what percentage off you get). That and Original Penguin is where I just bought my new clothes from.

Dwight Jaynes is occasionally correct

I read that
His argument makes sense.
I have a question jk – what do you do if you’re Cho from this point on? I was there with you on the Roy pessimism and I’m not quite there with the Oden stuff. If our two franchise cornerstones are done or at least compromised, where do we go?
I believe in Greg Oden
Man, that’s tough. I’d think hard about blowing the team up, but I don’t even know how I’d go about that. I honestly have no idea what I’d do if I were Cho. I guess I’d offer Greg a 2/3 year deal at less than the QO and pray for the best, but I dunno.
long twos FTL
That is where I got to
We can’t trade Roy, realistically or from an emotional standpoint, and that means we need to give this core one more shot.
If it doesn’t work we give up and build around…..Batum I guess, although we’d need to find size and scoring. That is what makes it so tough and so tantalising – it looked like we had all the ingredients and they’re still….sort there. Even if it isn’t what we dreamed of, its our best chance of success.
I believe in Greg Oden
I think he's right.
A wise man once told me (you) that taking huge risks in the NBA was important because the odds of winning a championship are so low anyway, especially with a small market team that doesn’t draw stars.
At any rate I hope we keep Oden unless his progress is looking really terrible, but who knows, maybe blowing it up makes more sense.

We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
so.not.fair
Although ironic, coming from you, since I literally just thought that I could also start bugging you on this same issue regarding mrs. theman.
It's not pervy.
I’m trying to create a better mental representation of women of a certain height, so I can have reference points. SHEESH. This is science!
No.
See, I’ll explain. I’ve met GB’s roommate and mrs theman and can visual them well. But idolita has grown since I saw her, and while I have recent pictures, I am struggling to put her height and measurements all together in my head in order to visualize her as she is now if she were next to me. Since both of the mentioned ladies are similarly heighted as she is, I am trying to add the remaining variables into my equation so I can refine my mental projection of her based on people I’ve seen more recently.
I'll give you credit
This is at least more scientific/less pervy (or more actually, depending on how you view certain societal norms) than I had expected.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
This is way too complicated for me.
If I was looking to visualize somebody’s physical appearance, I’d just ask for a celebrity comparison.
I’d be all like “Dan, um, who’s your wife look like?”—and that’d be that.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
While that actually made me laugh out loud
Idol already knows what she looks like, having met her. He needs specifics for his “project.”
Now I’ll be trying to figure out what celebrity she looks like. Hmm….
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
i was just thinking I could take the pics you've posted of your wife.
And try to deduce the approximate scale of photo-to-reality and then try to extrapolate idolita’s recent pictures that way.
As for your wife, there is someone she totally reminds me of. Someone from a TV show I used to watch ages ago but I’m kinda drawing a blank on it now.
I think the only one I've put up of her
Was when we got our faces painted at the preseason game. And that was just shoulders and up. It wouldn’t do you much good.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
Alas, just discovered that you are exactly right.
And looking at that pic, I also can’t remember who it is that she reminds me of.
Hey dan! Wanna send me a picture of your wife? :)
I was just about to
But I don’t have your email address. SHOOT.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
I keep it a secret.
Because it makes me feel more elite. Same reason I won’t make an idoltime_be@gmail.com account. Too.elitist.
Although I’d give it to you, but only because you were the only person who even bothered showing up to that impromptu 300 level meetup.
Did you just call me a prole?
I am outraged.

I would be shocked if you were able to stalk me on facebook
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
Yeah, naw.
Do you not even have it? I’m pretty good at stalking on FB, but I’d need more to go on, and people who don’t have facebook accounts are the hardest to track down.
Besides, GB made it easy. :)
Good call
Although doing a BE one has been interesting. I’m hopeless at actually updating etc.

I have considered doing a BE-only facebook
But since I wouldn’t really be adding anything, it would just be a way to stalk people, which I’m not that interested in.

And, yes, dan. Although it’s not the same, my brain gets me into 90% of my trouble.
What other part of you would get you into trouble?
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
You don't want to know the answer to the question
Although you probably already do.
I believe in Greg Oden
Exactly!
I think most guys get in trouble NOT listening to their brains (the old which head do you listen to thing). Yet I almost entirely get in trouble based on how I think.
The other head mostly interfaces with the spine
As dumb as a lot of people are, I have a hard time blaming their actions on a spinal reflex.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
Really?
I mean, I suppose nothing goes further if the brain isn’t involved. The question is which one leads the charge. Maybe you can’t blame their actions on a spinal reflex, but many people do direct a LOT of thought towards that reflex.
Certainly, a lot of thought is sent that direction
But to make a needlessly complex analogy, imagine you lived somewhere that had 2 inch protrusions coming out of the ground at a 90 degree angle every few feet, and you didn’t own any shoes. You’d be stubbing your toe all the damn time. While your toes wouldn’t directly do any of your thinking for you, your brain would spend a lot of time thinking about your toes and how to keep them safe.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
well-put
And I certainly think about it, I just don’t find that those thoughts are what get me into most of the trouble I get into but, rather, my inquisitive side.
I think I’ll name my farewell to BEdge JD: Curiosity Killed the Idol. Similarly, if something happens to me, I hope that someone will post this posthumously.
