INDEPENDENT JUNK: JD 07-04-2010

PrintI'm surprised there is no other junk drawer yet (8:03 am). Though, there probably will be at least one other one by the time I post this if history be my guide.
Here's a question: what's the most money you ever paid for a beer?
In Paris a couple days ago, I sat down at an outdoor cafe near Notre Dame to beat the heat and rest. I noticed a couple of people next to me had large mugs of beer on their table (44 cL), so I ordered one to drink while waiting for my wife to arrive. It turned out to be 19.5 Euros, which is in the neighborhood of 25$. This is a personal record for me, exceeding anything I ever paid at the Rose Garden.
Anyhoo, I'm back home now, and wondering what the heck is happening to my team. What is happening to my team?

Welcome Back.
I haven’t paid more than 15$ for a pintplus mug. I thought that was ridiculous. I suppose paying 8$ at the rose garden for a little less than half should count too. What’s the $/fl.oz?
And the Blazers are getting CP3 for only a pair of Nikes, a bag of chips, and a Juwan Howard S&T.

I heard
the hornets turned that deal down, so to sweeten the deal we are throwing in a batch of Paul Allen’s sister’s brownies and a bag of Stumptown coffee.

I don't know.
Jo Allen Patton’s brownies are really good. That just might be the deal breaker for me.

So yesterday in Longview they had a big cardboard boat race
on Lake Sacajawea. Its was awesome. Half the boats (which some were big enough to hold like 10 people) barely made it out of the starting gate. One enormous pirate ship went like 20 feet then split in half.
I guess this has been going on for a couple years now, but this was the fist time i’d heard of it. Fun fun.

The boats this year were much better.
About 12 Euro for a Mass on the Oktoberfest is the most I paid, but those are big glasses
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Masskrug.jpg
And everybody knows it’s overpriced. While apparently not everybody outside of Paris knows that everything on or around the Champs-Elysees is ridiculously overpriced, even a tiny cup of espresso.
The people next to me turned out to be Germans
We had a nice convo in English and they were amused that I’d ordered the beer after seeing theirs. They were quite shocked at the price.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time in France over a number of years, but I’d not seen such an outrageous beer price before this.
Notwithstanding the ridiculous cost and the fact that it was just a Kronenbourg 1664 draft, it was truly refreshing. We had been trudging around in temperatures around 100 degrees F, trying to keep our group of 23 eight-graders from getting drunk or pregnant.
FWIW, Notre Dame is not especially near the Champs-Elysees, and the next day I actually enjoyed a somewhat reasonably priced Heineken on the boulevard while the students shopped for designer T-shirts.

Okay, make that “everything around the border of the Saine in the center of Paris is overpriced”. I once made the mistake with a cup of coffee in a cafe close to the finish line of the Tour De France. They also had really special tourist prices. And I had relatives in Paris, so I should have known that.
Good luck with that
trying to keep our group of 23 eight-graders from getting drunk or pregnant.

I hope he stays
There’s a likability to LeBron despite his occasional (and increasing) forays into ass-clownery, he’s not, or at least I hope he’s not, the Alex Rodriguez of the NBA. That said, Cleveland better have a plan/deal in place to get him a legit #2, most likely through a sign and trade or salary dump from another team.
Speaking of cruel, Portland fired GM Kevin Pritchard an hour before the draft. Hey, he's only a top-seven GM -- there are plenty of those. Does anyone else think Al Davis died a year ago and took over Paul Allen's body? - Bill Simmons
Can't get over the fact that Pritchard -- fired earlier in the day -- is still running Portland's draft. If I were him, I'd be in Portland's war room loudly calling other GMs and saying things like, "I have an offer for you: I'll trade you our No. 23 pick, and in return, YOU HELP ME PULL THE F****** KNIFE OUT OF MY BACK!!!!! Do we have a deal????" - Bill Simmons

League sources said yesterday that the Celts have expressed trade interest in guards Leandro Barbosa of Phoenix and Rudy Fernandez of Portland.
Crickey, we don't even have a bad contract to dump on them in exchange for Sheed (who would be traded and then retires to get him off the books)
That Barbosa trade makes more sense in terms of matching contracts.
Today I also thought about what Nash will do once Amare leaves him sitting in the desert. Demands a trade at the deadline? To the Lakers for Blake and Odom? To the Spurs once Parker is gone? To NY for Eddy Curry?
New York seems like the obvious location
What about Dallas? Re-team with Dirk for one last title run?
On offense, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash could work. They'd be passable on defense, too.
Kidd would have to be much less ball dominant, but I think that he could defer more at his age.
Yet, even after Amar’e Stoudemire bolts for New York, I doubt that the Phoenix Suns trade Nash.
Bill Simmons said Nash was intrigued when he suggested he demand a trade to Portland.
I wonder if Nash respects the Blazers more or less now.

Something to remember....maybe they should have a holiday in remembrance
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it….
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Phil Mickelson: "A Great shot is when you pull it off.....a smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it"’
I like this one too...even though it was given in November
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth
on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so
dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-
field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of
that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave
their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether
fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate…we cannot
consecrate…we cannot hallow…this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it
far above our poor power to add or detract. The world
will little note nor long remember what we say here, but
it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the
living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us…that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which
they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain;
that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of
freedom; and that government of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

My plan for the evening involves watching the Pops concert from the hatch on local TV (featuring Toby Keith and Craig Ferguson)
It wouldn’t be USA USA USA without a flyover and a howitzer cannon salute too :-)
Then towards the end of it walking to the Commons and watching the fireworks over the river from there. And maybe tomorrow go to the market place and eat free/low priced chowder.
are they re-staging the Boston Massacre? if they are i’d avoid that area.

The complimentary brochure says nothing about that, so if at all it would be unplanned
But the music selection during the fireworks includes “God Bless America – Celine Dion”, “I Gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas”, “All I Do Is Dream of You – Michael Buble”, “Just Dance – Lady Gaga”, “Go the Distance – Michael Boloton” and last but not least “Run Free (Soundtrack of Spirit) – Hans Zimmer”.
That could be constructed as a mean attempt to deploy international weapons of mass audio destruction.

If Robinson can do it, then I can do it. Well, at least in my head.

Better rebounding, better post defense

I guess my question is: is fourth big man is really an area of acute need? Seems like we have bigger issues with wing defense (currently) and starting point guard and third big man (after Miller and Camby are gone).
Amundson was a decent, Varjeao-light presence in the playoffs for Phoenix
He fills the bill better than Dante both in the short and long term

I’m not disputing that Amundson is better than Dante. You guys have answered that pretty well. I want to know why we are going after an (admittedly decent) journeyman/hustle player who can probably be had later in free agency rather than the more difficult to find PGOTF, third big man (Amundson isn’t good enough for this IMO), or solid wing defender.
I disagree
third big man (Amundson isn’t good enough for this IMO)
I’m fine with Lou as the third big off the bench

I think he's fine in that role
He won’t set the world on fire offensively, but he plays hard, rebounds, and is active defensively. I’m more of a Varejo (sp?) fan than most, so perhaps the stylistic similarities are making me bullish

I can’t remember exactly how it works but the players get to vote some people in and then the allstar manager (the manager of the league champ the previous year) gets to fill out the rest of the position players and pick all the pitchers. They often do a worse job than the fans who vote the starters, and this year is a perfect example.
Cain had a case and is probably more deserving than several of the pitchers who made it, but he’s not an inexcusable snub like the guys I listed.
Good to see Cliff Lee made it. Going to stink when he gets traded.
Not surprised Felix missed the cut, hard to have three All Stars on a losing team.
i just want to know who put Omar Infante in. i know it wasn’t the fans cause they don’t know who that even is.

Charlie freaking Manuel FTL. I get that utility players are useful, but they DO NOT BELONG IN THE FREAKING ALLSTAR GAME.
Joey Votto might be the biggest allstar snub of alltime. DUDE LEADS THE FREAKING NL IN OPS.
Votto will get in. either with the fan vote or as an injury replacement.
John Miller made a good point during the sunday night game about Jered Weaver (and i guess the same could be said for Felix) not making it in. he was saying how Choo would have got the Cleveland spot but since he’s going on the DL, they took Carmona instead. why couldn’t they have said, “hey, choo is in. but he’s on the DL. his replacement will be Weaver/Hernandez.” but instead to fulfill that horrible “one player from every team” rule they picked Carmona.
my other gripe is Evan Meek going in over Andrew McCutcheon.

Basically, Maradona goes to his press conference pre-Germany game, sees Thomas Mueller there and refuses to go ahead until Mueller leaves the table. Mueller looks all confused, then leaves. Maradona comes back and says “I didn’t know he was a player.” Mueller scores the next day and plays a big role in thrashing La Albiceleste.
Good scouting by Argentina
I suppose now Maradona and his staff know who scored against them.
Though indeed it seems odd for two press conferences getting mixed up. Where aside from maybe boxing do the opponents give press conferences together?
Maradona's Spanish sounds like he's a drunk who owns a donkey and a strawberry patch.

A Japanese eating champion who sat out this year’s Coney Island Fourth of July hot dog contest apparently couldn’t resist the temptation to hotdog afterward.
Competitive eater Joey “Jaws” Chestnut gobbled his way to a fourth consecutive championship Sunday. But he was suddenly upstaged by the surprise appearance of his biggest rival — six-time champion Takeru Kobayashi, who did not compete but crashed the stage after Chestnut’s win and wrestled with police.
“Let him eat! Let him eat!” the crowd chanted as police handcuffed the world’s No. 3 professional eater, dubbed “The Tsunami.”
The 32-year-old Kobayashi did not eat this year because he refused to sign a contract with Major League Eating — the fast food equivalent of the NFL. On his Japanese-language blog, he said he wanted to be free to compete in contests sanctioned by other groups.

For those of you sitting around the house tonight....
…why are you at home?
Everyone has their reasons. I’ll be here tonight for a few reasons:
- The whole Bay Area is as dry as a tinderbox, and we have some people nearby who like to set off fireworks (illegally, of course, but there’s little enforcement). We’d rather our house stay intact.
- There are only a few actual good fireworks displays in the Bay Area, and if you don’t pay, the free ones are insanely crowded and not really that great.
If I was in an unusual location with a unique fireworks show (peers over at Norsk), I’d probably make the effort. But otherwise it’s not that great this year.
Besides, SciFi has the Greatest American Hero marathon going on. What’s more patriotic than a day of Connie Sellecca? And we’ll catch the Boston Pops later.

OK ... here goes ...
To me, Independence Day is not a holiday about war, nor a holiday about the brave men and women of the armed forces defending the American way, nor a day to remember those who have served in the military, or about guns or really even patriotism.
It’s a holiday about bravery to be different, independent, to throw off the shackles of yesterday and embrace the terrifying newness of today.
War was an unfortunate bi-product of that startlingly brave will to forge a new way. Wars and warriors are to be mourned, not celebrated, for the need for them is unfortunate at best.

France from the 80s:
Boxy, but not too tacky. Everything is much sleeker these days though.
I like the Italian one
maybe it’s just because they manage to get everyone to wear a tight jersey, so it plays to national stereotypes like the facial expressions and ridiculous diving.
those are kinda cool.
I have to say, the ugliest jerseys worn at this world cup belonged to the Ivory Coast:
these aren’t bad
but these are awful imo
little remembered fact
the other 1994 US jersey was even funnier— gotta love how the stripes are made to look like a waving flag.

yeah that’s the biggest problem with them.
In the actual jersey the little red stripe is outside the big white stripe which somehow makes it look slightly better to me. Not sure why. The white ones are better since the stripe is less dominant.
our type of jersey just doesn't seem to be in style right now
most national teams are using essentially solid colored jerseys with the color their team is identified by. Brazil (yellow) Uruguay (light blue) Holland (orange) Germany (white) Spain (red). Argentina use blue and white stripes, but it’s been that way since 1911. Our little sashes look kind of ridiculous in a sea of elegant simplicity.
yeah, it seems like the top teams have changed their jersey very little over the years, whereas we make wholesale changes to ours literally every year.
apparently there is some history there
The decision to wear a sash was almost certainly inspired by the strip worn in the historic 1-0 win the United States team achieved against England in the 1950 World Cup finals.

I don’t understand why this would be a problem? They are expressing their interest in the guy based on something that may or may not happen. There’s nothing sinister here.
If a bunch of plumbers get together and set the price for plumbing, or if gas stations collectively se tthe price for gas, that's illegal.
In this case, they are not setting a price, so there’s probably nothing illegal about it, but their services are for sure a commodity.
facebook.com/year5000
that's not exactly the right analogy
maybe this is closer? You’re building a house, and you really want to hire a particular plumber who does really good work but is in high demand. So you go to his buddy who does cabinets and say I’ll hire you to do the cabinets if we can get the plumber guy to take the project, but if not, no dice. Seems like package deals like this are pretty legitimate.

It is a kinda strange lyric anyway
But most Bernie’s lyrics are strange and compelling.
Here is one of my favorites by Bernie Paupin (He wrote this one for Alice Cooper).
I got my name and number
I got my bed assigned
I got a dog in the city pound
That I left behind
I’m strapped down and wild-eyed
She’s locked up in a pen
She needs somebody to feed her
And I’m her only friend
So for Veronica’s sake I gotta get out of here
Yeah for Veronica’s sake, she can get pretty weird
Yeah for Veronica’s sake I gotta get myself out of here
We both been put in cages
We got our shots and tags
I got my sweatin’ fist to shake
She’s got her tail to wag
She has to bark and whimper
While I could scream and shout
The clock above the psycho ward
Says time is running out
So for Veronica’s sake I gotta get out of here
Yeah for Veronica’s sake, she can get pretty weird
Yeah for Veronica’s sake I gotta get myself out of here
And I can see her howling all night at the lonely moon
They’re going to give her the gas if I don’t get there soon
I gotta get there soon
For Veronica’s sake I gotta get out of here
Yeah for Veronica’s sake, she can get pretty weird

Here ya go. From President Thomas Whitmore:
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. “Mankind.” That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night!” We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

I used to see Predator in the TV guide years ago…
and it would always get 2 of 4 stars for the rating. I’d tell my friend how could they give this movie only 2 stars. Then one day it started being listed with 3 stars. Takes some people a long time to come around sometimes.

No need on the body shaving – I only grow a beard.

i am through the first few episodes of season 1
I still haven’t decided if I like it or not. There are only two characters that I like, and every other character likes to poop on them.
It grows on you, or it did me anyway.
Slow paced, but I thought a nice change of pace.
And the TV season in general is slow right now, so a good time to check out some shows you didn’t tune in to. I think I heard Wired was good, and the one with Glen Close (can’t think of the name).

Definitely like Draper.
And I like the acting in the show, it draws me in.
I did have to buy an air purifier though, the 2nd hand smoke was starting to get to me.
Wow, I can’t remember the names but I loved this one scene – The one office girl who eventually gets promoted dances in front of the guy she got together with before he got married (and this dance was at a party after he was married). The look she gave him as she danced toward him was a piece of magic. Or I should say the way they captured it on film. And then he says, "I don’t like you like this."
…and is this the weasel guy you’re talking about or the one who heads up the TV group?

I hate the Fort.
I have a friend who has a bunch of family that lives like 2 blocks away from there. I went with her a few years ago and it’s just awful.
Team KP
Yeah, they love to make sure you know that.
They didn’t even do it last year and they charged like 7 bucks to get in this year. And they didn’t do it from a barge, just the airport right there.
Team KP
I've gone quite a few times, but mostly when I was young and didn't have a choice.
Fireworks are so overrated.
Team KP
I think fireworks are boring too
Part of it is when we lived in Redmond, OR when I was an ‘ittle wittle boy, the firework shows were soooooo awesome because it’d just be in a field and the drunk fireworks worker people would light them off all at once so the whole thing was the finale.
And you were so close, it was like they were falling on top of you.
Every other show has sucked since then, even nicely timed ones.
#52
I would rather just have them all go off at once too.
The Fort ones used to go on for an HOUR. Lordy, that is such a waste and after a while you are just wondering when the H it’s going to finally end.
Team KP
Yeah
I’d get so bored when going with the family, just hoping the finale would hurry up and get there.
And then you’re stuck in traffic going back over the bridge for 8 days.
NOT WORF’ IT.
#52
Well, you can't go wrong with drunk fireworks
At least, as long as you’re not the drunk one standing next to the fireworks.
It ruined me forever
For years growing up, after we moved away from Redmond, I wondered why fireworks just weren’t as impressive anymore. They didn’t even fall on top of you! So after a few years I finally asked my dad why Redmond was so much better and he revealed the secret— drunken city workers just setting them all off at once.
And us sitting not that far away.
It’s so simple Timmay!

Down in Mexico on new year's eve
Everyone sets off fireworks at the same time, by hand seemingly.

Nash, aren’t you from Roseburg?
I was there one year visiting friends when they tried to light the crowd on fire.
Fireworks were going sideways instead of up. Excitement was in the air, but the fireworks were just barely off the ground.

best part of AMERICAN PSYCHO
is when christian bale moonwalks while discussing HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS before splitting jared leto’s head open with an axe
I think the best movie ever
Would be called “Jared Leto Gets Shot in the Face for 2 hours, Set to a Laughtrack” and it just would be Jared Leto getting shot in the face in different settings and different camera setups, for 2 hours, set to a whooping rowdy laugh track.

Luke is rescuing Han and Leia from Jabba right now.
And Connie Sellecca is waiting on the other channel.
No chance I see Adult Swim tonight.
I wish!
I just flat out didn’t see it even though I could see the entire title. I’m a living joke!

I bet
Yoda and Obi-Wan disappear when they die because they were always just figments of crazy Luke’s imagination.

He's been in a coma ever since he got beat up by the Sand People.
His subconscious has delusions of grandeur, imagining leading the Rebel Alliance in battle against the “evil” empire. So immature!
And OH OF COURSE, he is the special one, the only one, who can face Darth Vader.

yore krazy AK.
I hate my comcast. My internet connection is absolute rubbish for how much I pay. I’m stuck cause I want CSN but don’t want Comcast for anything else, but my love of the Blazers makes me stuck with Comcast. I’m so “giantblazer’ed”/“Ak1984’ed” right now, that I feel I should apologize in advance if this makes no sense.

I still think they're adorable
whatever negative effect(affect? I hate English sometimes) they may have had on that franchise, they are damn cute animals. Speaking of cute animals, I played with some adorable doggies tonight. I want a doggy so much, these two pups were so sweet and one was super playful and her sister was super duper shy but started playing with me pretty quickly (I’m like a dog whisperer. and a baby whisperer. dogs and babies love me for some reason) and it was super cute and made me want a dog even more than I used to.

holy cow
I got epically wasted tonight. Like, out of this world. I rolled my ankle playing air guitar and rocking out to Queen. Holy cow my friends of the JD, I hope I’m okay tomorrow, but I’m not sure I will be. I can hardly put weight on my foot. ZACH!! I

R.I.C.E.
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
As well as some sort of over the counter anti-inflammatory med like ibuprofen or aleve. That is important and left out of the RICE acronym. I prefer ibuprofen with injuries. You can take 800mg 3 times a day to really blast the swelling away. However do not underestimate the value of ice. Ice is the single most effective method of controlling swelling.

LeBron, sign with the Nets already.
Courtney Lee, Devin Harris and Brook Lopez are bored.
Silver linings. Silver linings. Silver linings.
Or how about "someone please commit to someone so we can truly start free agency."
