the best bier in teh world junk 12.8

PrintI am enjoying a Hoegaarden, which leads me to the question: what is the world's greatest beer. A great beer should have three characteristics: flavor, finish and arrogance. The first two are self-explanatory. A beer must be arrogant, because a crucial aspect of liquid refreshment is conveying an image of superiority. Without further ado, my top five after the jump.
1) Duvel. Perfect. 10/10/10.
via www.bevmo.com
2. Hoegaarden. 10/8/10. Only misses because of a slightly flat finish.

3. Rogue Dead Guy. 8/10/7 Great beer, modern American Classic, but the attempt at a communist "image" falls a little short.
There're surely more, but it's a junk so let's talk about it in the comments.

I think it's called C-Note actually
it scores like a 15 for arrogance because it’s hoppy as all get out.
I’ll consider myself a beer snob after another year. Dead Guy is definitely one of the better flavors I’ve ever had though.
heeeyyyyyyy so dnrkhgu gotta go pl hdei and skeieek
My favorite from Rogue these days is the Chocolate Stout
But Shakespeare Stout is also very good.

I can't speak for anyone else
I’m usually not wild about chocolate stouts, but Rogue’s tastes like someone mixed in a lot of very good chocolate with what was already a very good stout. It just works for me.

I was a beer snob during my early twenties. I’d just buy a 22 of something good. However, when I was working a lot on my house, I would drink bud light when i operated power tools. At some point I chose quantity over quality. I don’t drink much beer anymore.
I am enjoying sipping Highland Park scotch instead.
boo-yeah!

I could use one of these to go with my Wheat Thins and Dean's french onion dip.
Yet, Diet Pepsi will suffice.

Ive never heard of you drinking any beer besides Blue Moon and Coors as of today.
heeeyyyyyyy so dnrkhgu gotta go pl hdei and skeieek
I drink beer on occasion.
I’ve talked about Henry Weinhard’s and Widmer before on here, but it’s been awhile.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
You’ve always given the impression of more of a wine connoissuer than anything to me. Perhaps that stems from me watching you swig out of a wine glass every time we tinychat.
heeeyyyyyyy so dnrkhgu gotta go pl hdei and skeieek
That was just cheap sparkling wine, though. Nothing fancy there.
Anyhow, I’ve drank from a wine glass and a tall beer glass on webcam at different times.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
Yeah, it does seem to fit.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
it’s a Belgian wheat beer (but, pssst! whisper whisper: it’s made by Coors).

My bar of choice as an undergrad had 90 cent glasses of Coors light, if that tells you anything
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
It tells me you probably drank a lot of Coors light as an undergrad
Also, your use of ‘light’ in regards to beer is disturbing.
Being super poor is hard on a man's beer palate
Yes, I drank a fair amount. A $10 bar tab looks ok, considering how much of that piss beer they’d give me.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
I also used to go climbing a lot at a place overlooking the Coors brewery
That was also as an undergrad, but before I transfered.

Coors is just your typical cheap beer that doesn’t have any complexity or real taste to it. It’s popular ‘cause people who don’t actual enjoy nice things think it’s amazing. Do you get Bud? the taste is different but it’s basically trying to be the same thing.
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
woah, you get Miller but not Coors? that’s crazy, I wonder if Miller actually sells better in the US than Coors. Coors is definitely advertised a lot more.
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
My issue with Miller is that its beers are pretty bitter in taste, which shoudn't be ...
how a low-end beer hits the pallet.

i started reading this and thought it was tom talking
"I told somebody to stop crying," Pendergraph said after the game. "Actually, I told them all to stop crying."
The thing about Coors Light is that while it's lacking in taste, it doesn't taste bad.
That’s why it’s the best cheap domestic beer.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
No, Coors Light is what I call a watery beer.
Piss beer = the Natty Ice that cloudy mentioned.

Wheat Beer
I’m not a fan, but I’m not much of a wheat beer guy.

I enjoyed a Blue Moon with the Blazer 3rd quarter tonight.
Great one, although I think Drifter is one of my current favorites.
She'll be right.
My newest favorite is New Belgium’s Trippel, which I’d probably give an 8/11/8 based on AC’s ranking system. Blue Moon has been one of my favorite “Everyman” beers for years, though, so nice selection there, AK.
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
Speaking of New Belgium
I just got 2 of their stemmed beer glasses in the mail today.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
nice nice. i forgot all about that deal, thankfully it’s still going so i’m buying them right now. my buddy bought a couple and they’re nicer than i expected. I’ve already got a couple of that style of glass but could use a couple more.
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
Yeah, Abby is really good as well, though it’s a tiny bit darker than Trippel so I don’t love it as much. and it doesn’t pack quite the punch that Trippel does, if I recall correctly.

My everyman might be Deschutes Black Butte Porter

what is an “everyman” beer?
i just rolled with my idea that it was a basic beer that you can buy in any supermarket, vs the stouts and ales that you gotta look around for…

You got it
But Black Butte is everywhere, especially in the NW. Almost as ubiquitous as Widmer Hef.

It's usually about $7 for a 6 pack

Sure
That was pretty standard fare when I lived in CO.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
That works.
To be an everyman’s beer, you must be able to find it at a convenience store somewhere.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
Me too. That's our house beer in the winter.
It goes well with the stuff I like to cook in cold weather. Black Butte Porter makes me fart.
Wiggada Wiggada Zers!
Jubelale is my winter beer
It knocked me on my butt last time we were in Portland. I’m not used to the alcohol content.
In the past I have been a big Jubelale fan
But something was wrong with it last year. I had some that was just not as good as previous years, and I had some that tasted like something had gone wrong with the batch. I’d never had Deschutes beer that tasted so funky.

i have enjoyed it this year.
it can be hit or miss most definitely
"I told somebody to stop crying," Pendergraph said after the game. "Actually, I told them all to stop crying."
I love Rogue but it also has a bad memory for me
I went to a new years eve party and they had dock beers of Rogue and a few were skunky. I only like Rogue from the tap now.
when i first tasted rogue many years ago
it tasted like cardboard. i haven’t been back. People say a lot of nice things about it, but I haven’t tried again. Perhaps, when Roybot buys me one.
Rogue is among my favorite Oregon breweries
Definitely worth another try.

Rogue Dead Guy is a little strange for me after a rather traumatic experience when hiking the Rogue.
Blow it up.
Basically, while on the last day 4 day backpack on the Rogue, we looked across the river canyon and saw a plane in flames, and a dead body lying next to it. We didn’t see it go down and we weren’t the first to know about the crash, but it was still kind of traumatic. The pilot, his wife, and two others died in the crash.
Blow it up.
That's a great choice, too.
It also reminds me of this line of mine from several months back.
“Beer is good for you anytime and anywhere. Right now, I’m drinking a glass of Widmer hefeweizen mixed with orange juice.”

If I have to do Mexican beer, I go with Negra Modelo
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
I didn’t really mean mexican beer as in beer from mexico so much as mexican style beer. Negro Modelo obviously is a dark beer, thus disqualified.
Ok
Then by that standard, I’m fine drinking Mexican water over what they call beer.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
I always get Blue Moon at the casino.
Mixed drinks are so watered down there that it’s a joke, so beer is the way to go.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
if your requirements are price/price/price, for sure (which was the case when I was your age probably).
I can never drink Natty Ice again. not after drinking like 9 of them while river rafting when it was 95 degrees out. I got so freaking sick from that crap.

I went through a long phase where I really tried to like Euro beers, but I never found any I like nearly as much as what comes out of Oregon, Washington, and California. I especially gave Belgian and German stuff a go, and for years. In the end it is all a little too light and fruity for me.

Spiders?
I assume you’re kidding. But if you’re not, ain’t nothing to be afraid of. I’ve been an avid outdoorsman for most of my life, as have most of my friends and family. I don’t know a single person who has become ill from a spider bite in the Pacific NW.

Not me
I don’t like them but I can be rational about it (ie. It won’t stop me from coming) but my missus doesn’t want to travel through Aussie cos of the arachnids and it seems like you have a decent collection up there.
I’m gonna try my best though – I could see myself living in Portland some day, if they let me in.
There are a lot of spiders in my garden in the warm months
But they’re not the freaky big ones, and if they even bite at all, they’re not poisonous. I’ve had a number of spider bites in my life, but they’ve been about as severe as a mozzy bite. Our spiders are tiny compared with a lot of the country. Spiders are not a problem I associate at all with this part of the world.

I DO have a spider problem and I don’t think of them as any sort of risk out here. Hell, I’ve got enough arachnophobia that I get scared of little baby garden spiders but I don’t have any real problem with spiders in Portland. You’re missus would be totally fine, MadBlaze
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
Well that's good to hear
I will inform her. She was not impressed when she saw what a brown recluse and wolf spider looked like. At least they weren’t funnel web level freaky.
i don’t blame her, they’re nasty little beasts, but those two spiders are seriously like a one in a million occurrence. In my entire life I’ve seen one little baby wolf spider and it was when i was out in the woods. If you were to come to Portland for a week and just did basic touristy stuff and stayed in a hotel that wasn’t the absolute pits, I wouldn’t be surprised if you got away without seeing a single spider.
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
Yeah, if you and the mrs moved here and spent the rest of your lives here
It’s pretty unlikely you’d ever see one of those “bad” spiders. The common ones are essentially no different than a small beetle or an ant. Just a couple more legs. If you absolutely can’t stand the thought of seeing a few of those (and in the city, there aren’t that many), plan your visit during the winter.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
It ain't that bad
We have a decent number of spiders here, there just little. Sounds similar, just with the potential one-in-a-million nightmare encounter.
You are convincing
I’ll be sure to show her that if she argues : )
A trip to the States may be further away than I’d hoped though. Should get there just as Oden is winning MVP and we’re beating the Lakers to get to the Finals though, which works OK.
exactly
I lived in the country for a long time and never came across anything dangerous (unless you count praying mantis’s cause they can like claw u and stuff). Even at my mom’s house in the suburbs which has a lot of spiders because of the garden she has, I have never come across one a wolf spider or brown recluse.

a tiny bit of both with a hint of “lack of motivation.” It’s also kinda sucky that I don’t have Microsoft Word these days ‘cause Open Office formatting makes papers look a lot smaller. with Word it’s almost exactly 250 words per page for a double spaced paper, with Open Office I’ve currently got just over 1000 words and I’m under 3 pages. I gotta turn it in by 9am tomorrow (originally it was due at 10am Monday but she postponed all the due dates to her office hours tomorrow morning, thank god) so by the time I finish and get to sleep, I’m barely gonna get any rest tonight.

I’m onto the 4th season of Dexter. It’s good so far. Just wrapping up the 2nd episode. I was so excited to see John Lithgow. Great surprise. He’s one of my favorites.

If you're anything like me, you'll be done with Season 4 so fast
John Lithgow is so awesome in it. Him and Michael C. Hall play off each other so well. I loved that season.
it’s one of my all time favorite single seasons of a tv show.

too much rita nagging in season 4 for me to make it tops
the overall feel of season 1 was just too much not to put it tops. I think the last few seasons have lost some of the super intensity of the kill scenes and dexter isn’t as haunted as he was before (naturally that makes sense but I miss it). I will never forget the opening scene of the show and how well it set the tone.

Seasons 1 and 4 of Dexter might be my all time favourites
The Wire is still my favourite TV show overall but the individual performances of Lithgow and Hall are so strong in season 4 that it pushed it over the top, while I loved the story arc in Season 1 and thought the guy who played Rudy did really well too.
ya he was good. it seems like he should be in more things...
and a quick imdb search shows that he has been in some things. although outside of Hurt Locker, nothing too impressive.

I didn’t really enjoy the Miguel storyline. It wasn’t a bad season, overall, but it was a step down from the previous 2 seasons.
Also, Deb is starting to get on my nerves. She’s practically crying every time she speaks.

I'm not sure why people think beer tastes good
I think people pretend it tastes good because drinking something that tastes like urine just to get zached up sounds dumb.
#52
It grows on you, kind of like AK
It seems bitter at first, then once you’ve taken some more in, you notice subtle hints of body and substance and want more.
you'd think after 4 years of college it would have grown on me
I think you’re all lying about the taste.
#52
I like this analogy.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
The majority of beer.....yes
Wheat beer and some particularly good lagers and lighter ales can be divine.
Some do
When I was a kid I liked the taste, then I stopped generally liking it but still drank it sometimes, and now I do find I like the taste.
I don’t like the taste of coffee at all and people seem to love it. It’s just a taste thing. Beer, especially good beer, has a unique taste that can be yum.
#20
Me three. My family loves pure coffee in the morning, I hate it. I only drink cappuccino, latte macciato and occasionally espresso. And tea. I don’t have a coffee maker or even instant coffee in the house.
I also tend to not like hot drinks, even when I'm cold
I drink iced coffee sometimes when I gotta.
#20
Can't really sleep on my couch
My favorite beers are Bavarian white beers (Hefeweizen), though my rankings aren’t precise and might change from time to time. Schneider. Paulaner. Franziskaner. Etc. I also like the typical beer mixed with lemonade in the summer when it’s hot and you want to drink more (Radler), and the darker seasonal varieties of those Hefeweizen.
Not at all a fan of the bitter export beers in the more northern parts (Heineken, Beck’s, etc.). Belgian ales are very fine. In general I don’t drink a whole lot, mostly beer just in the summer and wine to dinner occasionally year round.
My water bed has a hole. Luckily it didn’t overflow, only woke up and felt like I was a little kid again and had peed in the bed. Will have to go to a shop and get a repair kit or better yet the guy to fix it. I hate that I extended by a year and now have to fight again with some dumb stuff in this house like mold on the window frames from the big temperature differences and now this.
I went from Red Hook, to Alaskan Amber, to Drop Top as my favorite beer
I just drink Coors Light now. I get hammered on the mainland when I drink rich mainlander beers.
Worst beer I ever had
It’s really not that bad (it’s not good by any means either), but it was mostly so bad because we were drinking it by the crate during a run featuring a lot of compulsory drinking.
Have you ever had Heineken
I’d rather drink the piss straight from the penis of a cancerous Tasmanian devil than drink Heineken again. Gordon Biersch is the worst brewery in the world as well.
This is also pretty bad. It's the national beer of Kenya. I'm not sure they are aware of the irony of the slogan.
Seemingly it has won international awards http://www.aftertwelve.com.au/images/works/print_tusker.jpg
I don’t get how. It didn’t even taste good sitting under the sky of Mt. Kenya, and I freaking loved it there.
Looks better than expected!
I don’t like how he moves, and lots of guys have a few good games and fade, but he did better than I know I expected.
#20
Namely with his passing.
But again, there are so many guards who’ve had a few good games and then faded. We’ve seen Bayless have a lot of games like that or better, and not really put it together. So I can’t get too excited, but I’m happy with how he passed.
#20
Yeah, I'm of the "too soon to tell" variety since scouts and coaches have not yet keyed in on him
I didn’t really like his defense tonight. He’s active, but looks spastic. Offensively he is nice, and he has great speed.
He's kinda a flailer on defense
Tiny, but he’s trying.
Like with Armon and 80 zillion guards who had immediate good games, ya gotta wait and see how the league reacts now that he’s actually getting minutes. He’s still pretty much a rookie.
#20
He is tiny and fast
There is no stopping him. It’s the way the league wants it, so we may as well get with the times and start Patty.
True, but most the best guys are athletic as well as fast
CP3 is still kind of the exception to the rule.
Nash and Dragic aren’t easy players to cover, but while he probably can move his legs fast enough I wouldn’t trust him to stay in front of players like them without fouling yet. Armon seems to have the better body and/or foundation to be a good defender.
Armon certainly is the better defender and is more likely to end up a legitimately good PG defender
I think, surprisingly, Patty has been a better pure PG since he replaced Armon. What Nate said about Patty having a high BBIQ on offense and knowing when to get into sets and when to push seems pretty accurate, too.
We all know how you love Patty, Mort
That would be the Patty who has PASSED Armon Johnson in the rotation.
Got the last money from my faked "gold card" account back
The funny guys booked $185 from my account for a card I never ordered, and then decided to give me back ca. $145 when I complained as a pro-rated amount for the time I allegedly had the card. For a card I never ordered and for which they could neither produce my signature nor the physical card or any kind of receipts. Good day, sir.

no, it is normal priced, cheaper than here actually (unless you are talking about in bars, maybe?) If you are talking about going out to bars, then yes everything is way too expensive. So, just buy a six pack of tall cans and enjoy them under a sakura tree in the park.
Yeah, I think the friend who was telling me they’re way too expensive meant in bars. That’d be pretty amazing to drink some beer and eat tako-yaki under a Sakura tree. Can you drink in parks there?

Reminds me of a Mickey Mouse comment I wanted to make. If you have a Wii, don't buy yourself or your kids "Epic Mickey" for Christmas. It deserves the Epic Fail label.
The concept behind it is pretty cool, you have a paintbrush and thinner to create or destroy objects in a Disneyland-kind world in a parallel universe to Mickey’s role in “the sorcerer’s apprentice”. It’s even a bit gritty and dark which is surprising for Disney’s sacred main character. The intro depicting his history is very good. But the execution of the game mechanics is HORRIBLE. The camera system is completely broken making the game way too difficult for kids, since the traditional platforming motions become too hard to execute without seeing where you will land. Occasionally it’s literally too dark to see. The puzzles are binary and not fun. The graphics and animations/cut scenes are really dated, and not in a good “traditional animation” sense. It’s actually kind of shocking Disney released this game. And that it has a game designer with a great track record behind it, but maybe he was only involved in the ideation and not in the nitty gritty creation of the game. The problems were obvious when it debuted at E3 as a demo, and people thought “they’ll fix those issues”. They did not. For a company that is so detailed about Mickey that they won’t let actors who pass out in the suit in the park take off the suit to not destroy the Mickey Mouse illusion to kids let that game slip out of control is really disappointing.
Some critics seem to give it good reviews, but with video games it's always hard to say who got paid for a review
This one hits my main problems with it pretty well

My nominees:
Old Rasputin Imperial Stout. Dark, rich and mysterious with chocolate notes and high alcohol content.
Knock-out malt liquor from India. The label on this smooth and potent brew is a fist smacking you in the head, cartoon style. Arrogant in its truth in advertising, it’ll get you drunk son!
Xi’alnq’xi! From the Brazilian rainforest. This “beer” is brewed from a blend of palm shoots and a blend of some of the sweetest fruits in the world in a process that partially takes place inside the belly of a living goat. Over a period of several weeks the goat is encouraged to macerate, swallow and then regurgitate a blend of old mash and fresh ingredients, until a consistent, brackish fluid loses the putridity of bilish odors and is replaced by the aroma of the Dog Tongue orchid, at which point it is fermented inside a series of hollowed out Banyan trees. The resulting brew has a floral quality coupled with the back-tongue bite of a strong goat cheese. When drinkers of it wake three days later, they often express themselves with phrases like “what the hell” and “i just wanna go back to normal?” as the buzz from this brew can best be described as debilitating or paralytic.

Losing an NBA franchise wouldn’t feel catastrophic to those fans the way it felt for many Seattle sports fans. New Orleans never supported the Jazz in the 1970s, and attendance this season — with a very competitive team — is down 8.4 percent and has dropped two years in a row.

Oh, and with regards to how coaches and players feel about relocating, here's a great quote.
I bolded the most poignant part, too.
“It’s like a kid when his parents go through a divorce,” [Coach Paul] Silas said. “It affects him, but really he has nothing to do with it. That’s kind of the way this was. All the questions were directed at us. Our owners weren’t saying anything and, really, the other side wasn’t saying a lot, so we got kind of stuck with it. We’ve done what we’re supposed to do. We won games.”

i read somewhere that he helps the team workout potential draftees
but i didn’t think he was an actual “coach” per se.
it’s just shady. i wonder if PA will make him the interim if/when nate is fired.
PHILLY!
^^ $10 word right there ^^
im done with SAT/GRE, man. im in the process of forgetting all my vocab these days. lol

That won't happen.
There’s a better shot of guy like, oh, Lenny Wilkens being named interim head coach.

what’s the deal with Football Outsiders’ college football ratings? They aren’t at all similar to KenPom or Sagarin…
Unless you're a fan of special teams, looking at the Seahawks Football Outsiders rankings is a downer.

"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
i actually just looked at their methodology
for the college rankings. Frankly, it’s ludicrous. It’s an efficiency measure which excludes any plays that happen after the game is “out of reach.” With the small number of college football games and the number of mismatches, I don’t think a ratings system can only take into account that limited number of plays and be considered particularly reliable.
Yeah, Jeff Sagarin is the best bet when it comes to college football rankings.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
yeah, something like that
the weird thing is it seems like overall point differential is pretty proven as a good predictor.

NBA PA Counter
http://www.cbssports.com/nba/story/14412293
It’s been five months since the NBA players’ union submitted its initial proposal to the owners, and the silent response has been deafening. While discussion has continued in a couple of full-fledged bargaining sessions followed by smaller, more detailed meetings, the owners’ efforts to avoid a lockout seem to have mirrored the condition of the players’ proposal: dead on arrival.
About a week ago, union chief Billy Hunter distributed a podcast and written mailing to all 450 NBA players detailing the players’ proposal and explaining the National Basketball Players Association’s position on why the sport’s basic economic system doesn’t need dramatic change.
“Our proposal set forth a series of changes to the current system that we believe address many of the concerns the owners have raised while at the same time meet many of the players’ needs,” Hunter wrote to the players in the mailing.
CBSSports.com reported the broad strokes of the players’ proposal within hours of its delivery to the owners on July 1. According to people familiar with the podcast and mailing, and those familiar with the proposal itself, the union’s alternative to the owners’ bid to impose a hard cap and slash salaries by $750 million to $800 million annually contained two key steps toward bridging the gap: a revamped revenue-sharing system and an offer to negotiate a reduction in the amount of revenues players are guaranteed to receive as salary and benefits.
But rather than move the negotiations forward in a significant way, those olive branches have been brushed off by owners who seem increasingly entrenched in their desire to impose sweeping changes in the league’s economic system and use a lockout, if necessary, to achieve their goals, according to sources on both sides of the debate.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I suspect it's both
But I haven’t confirmed. It’s a hard cap that will adjust yearly based on revenue.
Whatever it is
The players have made it clear that no hard cap will be accepted.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I dunno
The more interesting part is this actually
Loosening trade restrictions in ways that would “bring about enhanced trade and signing flexibility and improve the game,” according to the podcast from Hunter delivered to all NBA players. These would include eliminating base-year compensation, which makes it difficult for teams to complete trades involving players who recently received large pay increases; and increasing the threshold for matching salaries in a trade from 125 percent to 250 percent. This would make it easier for teams to unload bad contracts, rather than remain stuck with an inflexible cap position.
• Eliminating the biannual exception, which this season starts at about $2.1 million, and replacing it with a second mid-level exception, which this season starts at $5.8 million. In return, the NBPA offered to reduce the maximum length of mid-level deals from five years to four.
• Loosening restrictions on restricted free agents, starting with significantly shortening the time period teams have to match offer sheets. Currently, teams have seven days to match, which often causes a quagmire for the free agent and for the teams involved.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Makes it easier for crappy teams not to remain crappy
Means a team like the Knicks say is not necessarily screwed for several years as they often are due to the current system.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
It also makes it easier for players that demand trades to be traded
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I actually like the trade restrictions when it comes to incoming and outgoing salary.
Without those in place, basketball trades will become much more like baseball trades.

But don’t buy it there. Find the cheapest flight/seats there then go to the airline’s website and buy them there.
Kayak.com (kind of)
Kayak is a meta search engine that will let you know where the cheapest tickets on any route are.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I've used BookingBuddy in the past for the same metasearch stuff.
I have a related question for anyone who buys tickets a lot. What is the optimal time for buying a ticket? I have a trip in about three months. There used to be a time when getting these things early made sense, but sometimes it seems that it makes sense to wait. One site even tries to project whether a wait might save additional money. Has anyone actually ever experienced prices getting cheaper when you’ve waited?
She'll be right.
It depends
Ticket prices are akin to alchemy, but in general you want to buy either early or really late (if there is still availability).
If you see a good price, just snatch it up, like my family did recently when we paid $1080/each for roundtrip tickets to Spain from PDX. Hard to beat that, esp. since it includes the PDX to AMS non-stop both ways.

My least favorite airport is Denver, had to connect there all the time in college since it was the quickest way to get to school. The B concourse United uses is ridiculously long and I’ve run end to end to make a close connection more times than I care to admit.

Yeah, I actually admit to being kind of a fan of the “soft” NBA that favors quick, skilled players.

watched TBJ
disagree with Skeets
(1) Andre didn’t intend to injure him. Running into a guy really fast isn’t a good way to injure someone, just an obvious and ridiculous looking way to send a message. Undercutting him in the air would’ve been more dangerous and less ridiculous looking
(2) Physical play and cheap shots are inextricably linked. If refs don’t police it, the players will. As stated, Andre just picked a really silly looking way to go about it. So I don’t like his statement that he “likes physical play but hates cheap shots” or whatevs.
I'm happy with what Dre did and I'm totally fine they suspended him
Both seemed fair. I think I can be glad he enforced something on the court in a physical nature, and still agree it makes sense to suspend him.
#20
That's pretty much the way I look at it.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
i think everyone is looking at it the same way
but some people appreciate physical play, and some people don’t.
That is not physical play
How is running full court and pushing someone from behind to the ground physical play?
Yup
I’m on board with wanting less ref whistling ticky tacky fouls, but deliberately running into a guy after taking aim across the court isn’t physical play. I’m fine with him doing it, it was his money, his streak, his decision, and luckily Griffin didn’t hurt himself and really is way bigger than Dre. But he hit him from behind as if he wanted to cause a football QB for a fumble.
Yesterday I thought it was a stupid, stupid short-sighted move.
Today, not so much. Funny how getting a win changes my opinion. I was sure we’d be trounced last night.
Wiggada Wiggada Zers!
You're all wrong
No one should be happy with what Dre did. They can understand why he did it, but being happy about a guy running down the court and hitting them from behind is is not cool.
It was cowardly and dirty. If I had a son that did that I would be ashamed of my parenting. I would want my son to do something within seconds of the second shove, or get him back under the basket by doing the same thing or boxing out and throwing elbows. There is absolutely no honor in what Miller did.
i can sorta see that
but, dre wouldn’t have a chance or wouldn’t be effective against blake in any way other than being cheap.
Elbow to the balls
Just turn around and punch him after the second shove. I’m cool with those. I don’t like the idea of some dude getting pissed at me and running full court and hitting me from behind.
after the second shove, he again plead his case to the ref
which got him nothing. He saw his chance, and he took it.

Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
That confused me, too. It seems like a contradictory stance.
Anyhow, my only issue with the play was that Andre Miller shoved Blake Giffin from behind. Rather than do that, I’d’ve preferred it if Miller instead jawed with Griffin face-to-face at the next stop in play, cussed out the rookie, and did so as he bumped up against his chest. Oh, and if Miller wanted to shove Griffin, then do it from the front.
Whatever, though, for the whole altercation and subsequent punishment is now done and over with, as well as was no big deal in the grand scheme of things. So yeah, let’s let bygones be bygones.

Just be honest
It’s not fair to lead Roybot on like that.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
If you got an excuse (another woman) then you're cool
I’ve turned down sex because I knew it would mean I’d have to keep in touch due to mutual friends. I didn’t want everyone asking me why she was bugging them about me. She called me gay in front of them at a party and made me say mean things about her.
Now that I look at it, I should have humped her and puked on her cat.
She was the daughter of the dean to the medical school I wanted to go to
After that, I lost my scholarship and ended up digging ditches.
You might have been the doctor to save Oden's knees.
Damn it. I hope young people everywhere I listening and take heed from this lesson.
She'll be right.
Two things.
First, I got propositioned to by my grandmaa friend who I guess was “waiting for me” or something, which is easy to refuse even though I suppose I feel sorry for her.
Second, I was making a recording for idolita about this matter and thought I would do some research to see how other people would react to this situation; she likes it when I do my research. ;)
She'll be right.
I wish I knew how I felt on this subject, the bottom line is if it feels not right, don’t do it. You can have all the things in common in the the world, but if there is no attraction, you may end up wishing you hadn’t…
It's tricky.
When i was younger, I probably would have figured their attraction to me was enough for me to at least give it a whirl, but I doubt this as a great course of action at all points in one’s life.
She'll be right.
Batum is going to be at Wells Fargo Washington Square between 4-5 PM today

Hehe, I like how he's still the nice guy who agrees to all those signings by his team and sponsors

Be careful GB
A drunken driving citation for riding a bicycle while intoxicated still counts toward a “three strikes” rule on driver’s license revocation.
The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday the state could revoke the license of a Deschutes County man who pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of intoxicants on a bike in 2008.
The court rejected arguments by Franklin Abbey that a bicycling-based conviction did not count for one of the three convictions needed for permanent revocation because a driver’s license is not required to operate a bicycle.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I remember this being a theoretical issue when I was in college
The bike was my typical mode of transportation when I was inebriated. Fortunately the cops around there were cool with it.

We don’t have meter readers in the Bay Area anymore; they were replaced with electronic models that report automatically, and somehow a bunch of people had power bills that magically skyrocketed as soon as they went in.

Yeah it's good, I just mean it's open-ended
You don’t know if the last victim was killed, if the killer lived happily ever after, if the sheriff lived happily ever after, …
I haven't seen the movie, but in the book I'm pretty sure that the last victim (the protagonist's wife?) is killed after a coin toss.
Also, the killer got rammed by a car and ran off and the sheriff retired.
"Blaaaaaaaaaaaaazers, Come Out And Plaaaaaaaay!"
In the movie they leave it open. You understand that the killer sees it as part of his crude work ethic to kill the wife, but he lets the coin decide and she refuses to toss the coin. Then you see him leave the house not knowing what happened. And yeah the accident with the killer walking away with a broken arm and the final scene are in the movie, but that’s still an abrupt ending with a lot of loose ends by Hollywood standards.
Anton Sigur makes some very deliberate actions with his feet at several times in the movie when he is commiting violence. He takes similar actions whilst leaving her house as we are left to ponder what's happened.
He checks the soles of his shoes, and walks away. We don’t need to see the violence because we’ve seen it throughout the film.

does he check his shoes after not killing the convenience store clerk?

Can't remember.
The scene after not killing the convenience store clerk would be good ammo for theory that he DIDN’T kill Lewellyn. He had the clerk flip the coin, and he didn’t kill him, so perhaps Lewellyn had the same fate. I don’t subscribe to this theory, but I can see that side.

It's just something directors need to keep in mind in a visual medium
Like camera cuts where the people in the frame suddenly switch sides.
Yeah I suppose. I just remembering being on the edge of my seat on that scene, and thinking
awwww crap when I saw him check the soles of his feet. We saw him check them several times throughout the film after killing someone, so to me there was no doubt. But I can see your point. That’s what makes it such a great film. A classic.

See above in my reply to Norsk.
Anton checks his feet several times throughout the film after committing murder. He checks his feet after leaving her house at the end.
This also fits with the cathartic feeling at the end of the film with Tommy Lee Jones’s uncle proclaiming, “You can’t stop what’s coming.” To me, Anton Sigur represents fate, and you can’t stop him from coming. He is inevitable, and will change your world whether you like it or not.
Great film.

what year?
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in ‘83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

"Everything in here has held up pretty well..
Except ‘Sports’ by Huey Lewis and the News." — Bender Bending Rodriguez.
Though seriously, Sports was an absolute monster of an album.
In 1987; Huey released Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip to be Square”, a song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about the band itself.

For the record, it's not the only case during that era
Milli Vanilli most famously did it, but Technotronic had a big hit with a model “singing” in the video too, for Pump up the Jam.
Sorry, her name is Martha Wash
My bad. She also sang lead on Seduction’s big hit during that period, who used model/singers on the cover as well. Wikipedia has the details.
Martha is the primary reason that labels must post vocal credits on music. They learned their lesson: Now they just find somewhat attractive people with minimal talent, that they can sweeten with autotune.
wow, she really reminds me of Christina Aguillera in that

watching Imagine right now, so sad.
I remember hearing about John Lennon dying, I was almost 7 and had no real idea who he was. We were over at my Mom’s boyfriend’s house in NE portland, and a teenage girl from across the street came running over and burst in the front door and told us John Lennon got shot. We all stopped what we were doing and turned on the TV, I watched it without even knowing why I was watching it. It’s such a strange memory to have, the story of my relationship with this pop icon began with his death.

In their next proposal, the NBA players association will request flying ponies.
While the owners want to do away with the soft salary cap and guaranteed contracts, the players hope to end the age restriction that forbids players from entering the NBA directly out of high school.
Gotta have some demands that you can sacrifice during the negotiations :-)
This is probably a demand by the players’ agents and not by the players themselves.
Oh well, this will get complex. At the end of the day they’ll probably have to call in Ury to talk to them about the third party and the value of negotiating about interests. Take a walk with me David and LeBron…

what is up with UPS. My friend in Seattle says when they can’t find her house, they just deliver her stuff to other people.
one of the last things I had delivered by them looked like it had been thrown out of their truck at speed. It had massive holes in the box, all the corners were smashed in and there was broken styrofoam pouring out of the holes.
I negotiated with Amazon for a sharp discount on my item, as it still worked and was mostly cosmetic damage, but I prefer FedEx now.

Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
That's a nice process. They often can drop it off at a neighbors house if they get the name, address and signature.
But some sellers don’t even allow deposing it on your porch especially if it’s more valuable.

So they sent it back to the NBA store? Surely you could moan and get it re-sent. That sucks.
I just sent them an email about mine today, hoping it just turns up though. It’s only been about 14-15 working days so I still have hope.
well, i bought it from sports authority, but yeah, i’ma call tomorrow and see if they’ll resend it. i’m totally bummed though. I bought it November 16th and used 2-day shipping and it ain’t here yet :(

Doubtful that they're atheromas. Those usually require surgical treatment and lie very deep within tissue.Atheromas always lie between within the artery walls, so if you popped it massive bleeding would likely follow.
Definitely some are cysts, boils, and other nasty medical skin conditions that are above the medical caliber of zits though.

i had a gf in high school
who would bukowski my backne which was pretty bad then. i know, hawt story…
To make up for my early posting of Daughtry, here's a song about a lost love that's lyrically sublime.
“Don’t Forget Me” by Mark Lanegan.
“Cool water divine
Now I’m thirsty with nowhere to go
And what else do we find
But sorrow and misery untold
I know you got somebody new
Much better than me
When that change starts to swing, keep in mind one thing
Don’t forget me dear
And when you’re lost I feel it too
Woman make life sweet
Because of what you do, all my world is you
Now I know it’s not easy don’t believe them when they say I’m not right
Don’t put a hex on me baby
Because I don’t know what’s wrong or right
I know that there’s somebody new
Much better than me
But because my love is true, all my best to you
Don’t forget me dear
And when you’re alone please take care
Don’t go walking after dark
Shine a light behind the stair
Remember what might be in there
Cool water divine
Now I’m thristier with nowhere to go
It’s sorrow that we find
I’m thirstier with no where to go
I know that there’s somebody new
Much better than me
Because my love is true, give my best to you
Don’t forget me dear
Because my love is true, give my best to you
Don’t forget me dear"
This song reminds me of the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."

All MLB power must be concentrated in New York or Boston
Apparently.
This is why you need a salary cap.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I'm a bit of a Red Sox fan
Thanks to lots of relatives in the area so I like them a bit but yeah, too much power is a bad thing.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Yeah I wouldn't do that
Boston sports fans are more than a bit crazy.
I have a few fun “Yankees Suck” shirts I bought outside Fenway a few years back. Some with very NSFBE words on them.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
The Red Sox will score approximately 8 million runs next year
Now can they stop anyone?
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I'm not sure of the individual UZRs of all of their guys.
but they seem to have a lot of good defensive players to go along with some very good pitching. If Beckett or Lackey gives them something, they’ll be dynamite.
They play in Fenway though
Hard to hold the score down too much there.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
the object is to do better than the opponent.
Both teams have to play in the same park; a good pitcher is still good in a high-run environment.
Fair enough
I would take them over the Yankees this year, even if the Yanks do get Cliff Lee.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
1. Carl Crawford RF
2. Dustin Pedroia 2B
3. Adrian Gonzalez 1B
4. David Ortiz DH
5. Kevin Youkilis 3B
6. J.D. Drew LF
7. Varitek/Saltalamacchia C
8. Marco Scutaro SS
9. Jacoby Ellsbury CF
that is terrifying.
wait they have Salty now?
Interesting. I wouldn’t trust Varitek to hit much this year, and the Rangers had no trust in Salty’s D, so that’ll be an intriguing situation.
That’s a lineup full of top notch defensive players and you know you’ll get offense from CC, DP, AG and KY. The other guys I wouldn’t trust as much but they could have good years also.
Still not totally convinced they’ll be better than NY.
Blow it up.
they don't have to be better than NY to be terrifying.
You might be underestimating Drew; he regressed last season, but he’s been a 130 type wRC+ most seasons. it’s unlikely that he’ll be at 116 again as he was last season.
Heck, Scutaro’s a league-average hitter at short.
I don’t know how much they upgraded the offense. Ellsbury is way overrated, this will be the year Papi never breaks out of his early season awfulness, a lot of Crawford’s value is in his defense, etc.
Beltre was a huge part of their offense last year. Gonzalez will match but not exceed what Beltre did last year I think.
I’m still not ready to declare better than the Yankees.
Blow it up.
counterpoint
1) their outfield was a MASH unit last year. Carl Crawford’s a lot better than Bill Hall. And Crawford ranked ninth in outfielders for offensive runs above replacement, so his offense is probably underrated.
2) Ellsbury’s overrated! Agreed.
3) Why is this the year Papi doesn’t produce?
4) Beltre was great last year, certainly. Gonzalez’s 2011 is probably going to fall short of Beltre’s 2010; but Gonzo’s 2011 is likely better than Beltre’s 2011. I think Adrian will come back to earth a bit, and I’ve seen some smart baseball people say the same.
I think with the injuries they had, and the wins they sill managed to put up, they are terrifying.
The Papi thing is probably wishful thinking; just seems like he’s ready to fall off a cliff every year, but then he somehow comes back to awesomeness.
I couldn’t even remember who they were playing in left last year. Yeah, I’d say Crawford’s a bit of an upgrade over Hall. Just a bit.
Victor Martinez was key for them last year though, their catching situation takes a hit.
I see your post above, and yeah Drew and Scutaro are good, underrated players.
They should be very competitive with the Yankees and it looks like the Rays are going to be hard pressed to keep up next year, unfortunately.
Blow it up.
the Blue Jays have a lot of young talent.
They need the playoffs to expand to five teams per league.
So four Wild Card teams -- which'd be two from each league -- play in five-game ...
opening-round playoff series? I’m fine with that setup, but only so long as the ALDS & NLDS become seven-game series.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
That's too few for a playoff series in baseball, which is subject to random ...
outcomes. Heck, I say the World Series should go back to 9 games.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
I don't mind the wild-card round being random.
The advantage gained by the top three seeds would be massive given a five game format.
Well, the long, steady build-up of the playoffs going from best-of-3 ...
in the opening round, to best-of-5 in the Division Series, to best-of-7 in the Championship Series, and finally to best-of-9 in the World Series is an intriguing thought at least.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
That makes sense, for the New York Yankees didn't need him after Brett Gardner burst onto the scene.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
Yeah, that'd've been a worthwhile swap.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."

Never too old for a new toy.

Seems risqué in most cultures.

Read into it what you will.

There's a practicality to it, I'll give you that.

Oh well, if this subthread survives until the morning, it will likely have made a few people laugh at the very least.
She'll be right.
That wouldn’t work out too well.
I dunno where she’s registered, or even if she is. I’m thinking she’d like something Williams-Sonoma-y.
You can search websites to see if she is registered
I’d start with Bed Bath and Beyond, Williams Sonoma, and Macy’s.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
Ask your grandma
Or someone else in the family. Perhaps even your aunt.
If they’re wine drinkers, you could go with something like this. We got one recently and find that it helps.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
the last wedding I was at was registered at Williams-Sonoma.
If she’s not registered, you can just get her something and hopefully no one else will get it and she wants it or that she can easily return it.
What Dan ^said works (it was how I found my friend’s wedding) or you can just go with something generic. What’s your budget?
She'll be right.
I think nothing says congratulations on your new life like cushioned rugs
That's a nice healthy budget for a wedding gift
But without knowing what they have, what they like, and what they do for fun, it’s hard to say. If they’re into cooking, you can get a very nice knife.
It’s definitely not a bad idea to buy something at a big, common chain and include a gift receipt.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
Yeah, if it's not from the registry, go generic
Something anyone would want. Not too taste specific. We got art from a number of people. It was all terrible.

A toaster.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
I think I’ll dig around to see what others are getting so there’d be less chance of getting something too similar. If it were totally up to me, I’d invite them to a Blazer game, but my mom thinks that’s only ’cause I wanna go myself.
Why would she think that?!
It’s tough to shop this stuff in isolation. If you don’t have a registry list to guide you, then at least having some idea of they are getting should help you a lot. I was registered and got my whole kitchen set in a single color from it.
She'll be right.
One of my friends registered at Williams Sonoma.
I laughed when I looked at the registry.
I took my talents to Target.

Rockefellers.

My wife and I totally registered at Target for this exact reason.
It was fun too; they give us our own scanner gunner and we just run around the store scanning ish we want.
She'll be right.
I thought I'd get you a bottle of wine
Around a 1994 or so.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
That sounds perfect; I've heard 1995 was a good year for wine and other things.
For instance, the 1995 Muscadet, Cuvee Vieilles Vignes, Chateau de l’Aiguillette, eleve sur lie is spoken highly of all the way around.
She'll be right.
it's the best gift you can give to someone that's getting married

Maybe it’s just me, but it doesn’t feel right to me to give money to an elder. ’Sides, she has no need for it. I WANT SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY CONVEYS THOUGHT.

Somehow I screwed up when I signed up for the Honolulu Marathon and bought a $50 ticket to a luau tomorrow from 4pm-8:30pm tomorrow. It’s non-refundable so I’m going to try to find a homeless person to go.

Now that Patty Mills is totally the PGOTF it’s important that we surround him with his friends.

What about Furbies?
We sold one on Craigslist a few weeks ago. The guy was buying it for his girlfriend. Both were in their 20’s, and when she got it, her face lit up. It was amazing someone would get excited about a Furby that’s 12 years old.

Sometimes I think I'm too nice to ever be really rich
Just watched a documentary about post-communism crimes in Europe when the markets got re-united. One fun case was a company producing boilers and heaters for the GDR worth hundreds of millions and probably able to survive in a capitalist economy, but it got sold to a Swiss “post box” company for $2 million. Those two million even got financed by it as a credit for “consulting fees”. Then the company gave credits worth 43 million to another Swiss company and another 39 million to a company in Liechtenstein. Then it went into insolvency, and the real estate of the company got sold for 147 million. Then the buyer fled abroad for 14 years. The money could never be recovered.
They had a lot of similar cases in the documentary. Privatizations created people like this or the new Nets owner, while the debts were usually not wiped out but converted to the new currencies and booked to the general public hidden in local, state or federal funds and guaranteed by the taxpayer. Easy money made by transforming economies too fast, without a real plan how to harmonize monetary systems.

Philips now offers an IPL system for the home named "Lumea" ($500). 5 settings, battery, looks like hair dryer meets barcode scanner.
That was my idea about 5 years ago! They stole it. On the other hand they are probably really the best company to miniaturize and commercialize such a system. And probably a lot of people who saw that system work as industrial-sized devices had a similar idea. Gillette, Braun and other companies in the shaving market as well as cosmetic studios won’t be happy :-)
