Milestone Junk - Friday the 13th, August 2010

PrintSo... this is my 50th post, I just completed my 25,000th comment, and I am closing in on my second year in BEdge.
What kind of milestones have you noted in your life? Age... anniversary... school.. etc?
What kinds of milestones do you expect to note moving forward in your life? Something you are looking forward to?
Most milestones I immediately think of relate to reaching some number but that's cos I'm a quantitative thinker. Also, the symbolism of the milestone suggests reaching some point in a quantitative gradient system. But I'm sure there are very substantial qualitative milestones that people can think of also. Having kids is kind of a milestone like that I suppose.
And I'd like to give a shout out to those folks who listened to my plight the other day in tinychat and have been very decent about the whole issue. I appreciate..

Hello, dearest Idol.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
it's going alright.
I should have been to bed a while ago but I’m restless. I’m making some sleepy tea now, though, in hopes that will remedy this restlessness. Went up to the top of Mt. Tabor and saw some of the meteor shower. It was wonderful and a I had a very solid “wow, the universe truly is so massive and magnificent” moment that made me kind of dizzy with the force of the realization.
And how is the evening treating you?
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
very well.
I also watched some of the meteor shower although I bet you had a better view. And now I’m talking with she I’m not supposed to talk with. It’s a good night spent :)
didn't reply to this earlier cause I was in bed when you sent it and you weren't around earlier.
but that’s cool, buddy. I’m happy for ya :-). Just be careful…

If I was living life in a movie.
It’d be worth going into a courtroom so I could give my official aanban shoutout all official-like and show the man whatwhat. That’d be so cool. I wonder who would play me in the movie. Hopefully, Gerard Butler or Matthew McConaughey..
I bet it would be Pee-Wee Herman

you look enough like Galifianakis that you’re not going to get away with being played by anyone but him. Since so many people think I look like Ben Stiller(which I don’t see) I’m always told “if Ben Stiller could play a serious role, he would be the actor for the story of your life. Nobody else works, man, you just look too much like him.”

I think I've told this story before... but I had a co-worker who loved Keanu Reeves as an actor
She was always talking about how great an actor he was …and what a tough life he had had…..so one day at work she was going on about him so I went back to my desk and started working on a fake AP story. I “reported” that they were making a movie of Keanu Reeves life story…and that he had auditioned to play himself …..but the casting director thought “he wasn’t lifelike enough” so they hired Ben Afleck…I put in the same format that AP always used and ….then I sent it to her. It was hilarious cause she totally believed it …and was super pissed

the answers should be more long winded.

no, she would have said pole fail, if she were to have said anything.
However, I do believe the proverbial she was quite silent on this topic
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
Yeah I know.
I thought the same thing but then got distracted from actually spending the time to think up something better. Got any ideas? I’d change it.
does that mean this post doesn't count and no more milestone?

I'm betting Philly doesn't trade Iggy this year.
The stellar summer of Andre Iguodala continued Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Iguodala posted game highs of 15 points and six rebounds and was named the player of the game in USA Blue’s 49-47 win over USA White. -Philly.com
The list of reasonable trade prospects I would be excited about has dropped almost to zero.

If winning it all means having an on-ball defensive stopper to contain LeBron James, I'll take Andre ...
Iguodala — without any hesitation, either — and bid Nicolas Batum adieu.

I love Batum and I think he could be better than Prince, maybe.
Iguodala sure is looking a lot like Pippen though. If he could accept the role of second banana everything would be great.
Also I think he’s got enough passing ability that you really could run a lineup with Matthews standing in the left corner with Roy and Iggy handling the ball.

Wasted talent bothers me so much. I hate it when good players loose their best years on bad teams.
I’m used to having Nenad Krstic(notes) and Thabo Sefolosha(notes) running on the sides — nothing against those guys, of course — but Nenad is not as athletic as Derrick Rose(notes). (laughs) And I had D-Rose on one side and [Andre] Iguodala on the other. So I’m like, “Who do I throw it to?” So I just threw it up. (mimes a lob pass)
And it was a bad pass. I’m like, “Awwww, turnover.” (hangs head) But Iguodala came out of nowhere, grabbed it with one hand and dunked it. (smiling excitedly)-Kevin Durant

That might not be enough shooting.
It wasn’t in Philly.
It sounds crazy, but if we got Iguodala we would probably have to trade Miller for a good shooter. Which is another reason Tom should be the biggest Iggy supporter in the world.

Shooting was a real problem in Philly.
It just makes it too easy for teams to figure them out in the playoffs. As crazy as it sounds I don’t think Miller and Iguodala could coexist on this roster.

Cho doesn’t make trades, he hires his pals. If the Zers somehow ended up with Iggy, Cho would be too scared to make another move.
I hope the new jerseys just have "Zers" on the front.

Milestones: Children were born when I was 26 and 32. I was married for 15 years and have had two other 10-year relationships. I turned 30, 40, 50, then 55. I’ve made six records with the Gone Orchestra, four with Tres Gone, a couple with The Jesters, one with The Vaporizers, and one with the Transcendental Brass Band. I celebrated 10-year anniversaries with two large Portland companies, and I only need one more 10-year stint with another Portland company before I retire from it all.

1 fire was from PGE – they moved me to Trojan and “laid me off from there” one week before they announced the plant was closing. I took it as being fired.
1 fire was from OHSU for doing something that should have got me some attention from my upper management, and instead I was just shown the door and never got that chance to talk to upper management. I even tried to schedule an appointment with them three months before I was fired, and three months after . . . and they just didn’t want to talk to me at all. – Elgin

Milestones? I might there... if only I could "just get through this night"
This could be the longest night in recorded history
And as for sleep, you might as well just cross it off the list of
Possibilities
(now) I’m as brave as the next man
I won’t turn and run from a fight
And I could last a million years
If I just get through this night
I could be a novelist
Tell secrets never heard
Pour my soul into each and every sentence
But I just can’t find the words
Still I know that you’re out there
And you can relate to it all
And I could bear the cold and stormy winter
If I just get through this fall
Don’t you know there’s no place on this earth
Where you can run to escape the pain of a broken heart
It’s useless to spend the time it takes you try
But can’t you see that I’m here
And I’m looking just the same
And I don’t know why…
I could be a movie star
The king of Hollywood
Make them cry, dramatically pretending
To keep romance alive
And I would humbly thank my director
And everyone involved from the start
I could blow them all away
If I’d only find the the part
If I just get through this night
If I just get through this night

This is true....they have to do it carefully...but they still do it...and it is inexorable
and perhaps PA isn’t the best example…but sports salaries have an impact on everyday family costs. Mostly from the cost of TV rights. Why are cable bills so high, you ask?? ESPN, TNT/TBS, NFL Network et al. These costs are buried in the package pricing ….but they are still there…each one costing the subscriber a dollar or two each (if not more) per month. Do you think that TNT/TBS could charge that based on Seinfeld and Law & Order re-runs?? So the impact is there…big time… and ESPN is the biggest culprit of course….they are paying 3 major pro sports leagues a fortune to carry their product….and then passing that along to every cable/pay TV provider in the nation (and most of the rest of the world too…they are the “World-wide Leader” after all) and this cost is passed along every month on your cable bill. So if you look at ticket prices and say…“Ah that is too high, I will just stay home and watch on TV”…well guess what? You are paying too

during the tears
a coworker said the cliche “what doesn’t hurt you makes you stronger” It sorta worked. She laughed a few times since then. I think she is okay, just really emotional. Sometimes she has a good sense of humor about it.
It seems like she let sales bully her a bit in the beginning, but it sounds like she has found some leverage over them, so I think it’ll be okay.

it's not normal, I agree
Her last little bit this morning wasn’t much. It ended up sounding more a reflection of what happened earlier in the project. I honestly think she is getting better. She sounds new to this job, and she let some folks bum rush her. Based on stuff she’s been saying since then, I think she learned from it, and she is okay now. The past two days, she’s been proactive and productive sounding.

In fact, the day Greg Oden wins the MVP would likely go down as “run the streets naked day” and become an annual tradition in celebration of multiple MVP titles for Greg and multiple NBA titles for the franchise.

Yeah,
well, I’m just shocked they actually gave me the credit at all. They’ve been overcharging me every billing cycle for the last 2 years, and I alerted them to the problem a 18 months ago. After getting on their ass every bill to correct it several times (with each complaint requiring a 30 to 45 min wait on the phone), I eventually just got frustrated gave it up as a lost cause.
I had that happen with my sewer bill once. I was SURE they wouldn’t adjust it, so I sent all these copies of my bills and detailed info, and they were like, “umm, wow, that’s really thorough, have a credit.”

In that exact order.
Although I’d say both Horford and Lopez are more of a 4 than a 5, unlike Gasol. I’d love to pair either next to healthy Oden.
"I think he’s been doing some good things. I think he’s been doing some good things. He’s had to play a lot of minutes lately with Blake being out. I think he’s been doing some good things." -Nate McMillan
I think Lopez is more of a 5 than Horford is, but I like Horford more. Comparing Horford and Gasol, I think it becomes more granular and stylistic and in the end really comes down to team fit. That said, if I were building a team from scratch I think I might take Lopez over either of the others to be my anchor down the line, even though I think he’s worse than either of the other two right now (mainly due to defense).
Probably...Lopez does have the highest ceiling of the three. He could be a legit 24 and 9 guy.
Horford would be the best paired next to a dominating 5 like Greg, although Lopez’s ability to score all over the floor would look nice to Greg as well.

Umpqua: "Just follow the dead government proof link to find out."
Once upon a time, in a land far far away, I raised some pigs for 4H and the country fair. In a dark year of endless winter, the pig I was raising died from a type of worm that the worm medicine I was using did not kill. This sinister worm feasted on the food my poor innocent pink piggy ate until the poor pig died of starvation.
So let that be a lesson kids, do not assume the worm medicine you have for your swine works on all worms in your area.
Looking back on it, Kevin Duckworth may very well be the most overrated Trail Blazer in franchise history.
Statistically, Duckworth was subpar in essentially every category — including efficiency, rebounding, defense, et cetera — that’s important to a center. For whatever reason, though, he’s revered by countless folks, but I’m not sure of the reason. I’d like to blame it on our nature as humans to be overzealous oftentimes with posthumous recognition; however, that doesn’t appear to be the case in this situation. Oh well, I guess it’s just one of those things.
i think its his coming out onto the court for game 7 against the spurs in '90

Plus that whole...
key player on a great team thing.
I realize this is heresy to some….but you can slice and dice some player careers as far as their stats go and it doesn’t give the whole picture. I’m not saying Duck was a wonder center, but he started and held his own against the best centers of the day, on a team that is revered in this town.
And there is also the issue that he was the complete opposite of being a complete richard. He was one of the nicest NBA players you could ever meet. There was no way Duck was ever going to be pulled over for speeding down I-5 in a yellow hummer with clouds of smoke pouring out the windows….or be associated with dog fighting….or set a league record for Ts….

I'm more surprised by people wanting Damon as a PG.
Am I the only one that remember the dribble-dribble-dribble then bad shot? The poor defense? There was a reason that Damon never saw the floor on the fourth quarter when we had Scottie.

Once upon a time, there was a bear named Fred. He was a nice bear who would often venture into the forest to help out his deer friends. One day, Fred met a young man who was lost. Thinking to help the young man, Fred grunted a polite hello. However, much to Fred’s surprise the young man started to run. Fred trotted after the young man, but Fred just could not get the young man to stop despite his polite bear mumbles. In the end, Fred growled in frustration and stopped his friendly persuit.
uh....thanks?

And only two of my tickets were for speeding.
The other six were for fixit tickets (out lights, no license/insurance/reg on hand, expired tags) or the driving while suspended for not taking care of a fix it ticket.
But I am entirely wreckless!!
haha I'm glad you got it!
And yeah that’s annoying. I have only one ticket and it was from an epic super duper major richard cop who I wanted so badly to nard punch. It was a wannabe robocop motorcycle d-bag who pulled me over for going through a yellow, one which I really couldn’t have safely stopped before, and gave me a 300 dollar ticket. I took a traffic class which made it only $40 but it’s still on my record.

I do love a good pun :)
And yeah. I hate cops like that. Besides for the timing and lameness of some of them, I can’t say I’m too disappointed in how lucky I’ve been with regards to this. Except my very first ticket when I made an illegal right turn on a street that had a don’t turn right between 6-9am sign and the cop was hiding behind a sign on a dirt road in a construction zone to wait for someone to be dumb enough to do it. So lame. Met a really cute girl in traffic class that time tho. That was fun.
But the number of times that I’ve had something on me that would have gotten me in a LOT more trouble than the tickets, uhm, 7 out of 8 times actually. Times busted by a cop with illegal stuff, three (four if you count the time the cops wanted to take my mother-in-law’s stash but ended up putting it back after we show them her medical note) times. Times getting arrested or a ticket for this. 0.
wow that's awesome about the second part, man.

you got charm, homie. That’s good. I almost got a DUI once(I had had two beers, which with my small frame probably put me over the “legal limit” even though with my alcohol tolerance I was about 6 or 7 beers from being drunk). I got pulled over for “having some trouble with the lines” which was, honestly, from trying to control the stupid mechanical windows on my car which I had only had for about two weeks at that point, and it was a super dark street. But once the cop asked for my license and registration, and as I got these things perfectly calmly for him, could tell I had my ish together and was totally cool, he goes “hmm, nevermind, there are bigger fish in this sea.”

Always decent when cops do that.
I think I make cops (and some others) instantly feel safe and secure when they are around me. Guess they pickinup that chill idol vibe or something.
Works great with chicks, too. And criminals/prisoners for that matter. Drug dealers and gang members. Yeah, works good for a lot of things I suppose.
yeah, it's nice.
this guy was the polar opposite to the cop I mentioned earlier. The one who was obviously just hanging out in that corner waiting to ticket someone. It’s nice to know that not all cops are richards(I got a cop for an uncle, and he’s a super rad dude, so I could never have a broad sweeping dislike for cops like so many people do).

I had the cops bust my party once.
I was 15 and house sitting for friends of the family and decided to throw a party. I invited the band and a dozen or so people showed up and we had two 24packs, two bottles of Jack Daniels, and a few of us had greens and maybe one person was 21. A neighbor came by and didn’t believe me about being there to housesit and said he was calling the cops. We ran about trying to hide stuff and a few people took off but the cops were there in like 5minutes. They found some empty beer cans in the back yard that people tried to stash and took some IDs and check some things. A cop asked me if I was high and I shrugged “naw, just tired” and they said so can you prove you belong here and I was like bam there’s a picture of me with the people who live here on the wall and the cops said “a’ight stop making noise and don’t drink”.

Yeah, and I can see that position really easily.
I’ve had a few very long, detailed conversations with this uncle. Portland is supposedly one of the hardest cities to be a cop in. Not because the work load is super hard(like a place like Detroit) or the job is terrifying(like a place like Boston, or Detroit) but because Portlander’s are basically raised to hate police officers. They’ve made a few (okay, probably several) mistakes and those mistakes have been thrown in our faces so thoroughly by the media that they’ve bred a generation of cop haters.
It’s really too bad that so many people will believe what they are told on the news before figuring out the world for themselves.

Yeah, I don't get the hate per se.
I don’t even really think too hard about particularly incidents even though it is important to note that there are things that also don’t make the news. That’s not really my issue personally. I believe that even decent cops are used by a corrupt system so I can’t trust cops because, as cops, their job isn’t really just to protect and to serve. And that’s definitely something I’m passionate about.
Yeah, for sure, man.
ack. I just typed a big long political mess, which I don’t want to do on here. So I deleted it, and will instead say that this feels like the kind of topic we could have a nice long conversation about in person someday.

well, it goes kind of like this:
first I go out into the woods with a knife and a flint. Then I find a large branch and fasten it into a bow. I use remove much of the plentiful hair atop my head and twine it together to fashion the string for my bow. I then use additional branches to fasten arrows, along with the stones I carve for arrow heads.
After creating these hunting materials, I track down and humanely kill a deer. I use my knife to skin and gut the deer. I let the meat dehydrate and then after a day or two I use my flint to create a fire, over which I fashion the jerky to my foot, creating a deer jerky shoe.

Coon's FAQ
if the team does not sign the player in the allotted time, the player can enter the next draft. If the team that selects the player in the next draft doesn’t sign him either, he becomes a rookie free agent.
If the player is already under contract to, or signs a contract with a non-NBA team, the team retains the player’s draft rights for one year after the player’s obligation to the non-NBA team ends. Essentially, the clock stops as long as the player plays pro ball outside the NBA. Players are not included in the team’s team salary during the regular season while the player is under contract with a non-NBA team.

They sure are, but where is the rule that software needs to have margins of 40%?
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Yeah, but that also applies to producers of gravel and cement
Which are complete commodities. And still, innovative companies make a healthy profit with it, even in developing countries.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
But,
anyone can buy up a rock quarry and sell gravel/cement which is why profit margins are razor thin. You’re not going to be able to buy Office from anyone but Microsoft, which is why Microsoft can charge as much as the market can bear before they start to turn to cheaper alternatives.
It's right after the rule about phamaceutical profits

Just to detail what I meant
Used CD’s have no influence by the record industry. It’s pure supply and demand in action. When I see 5 CD’s of the same album available for 50 cents, or 50 for $20 (not exaggerating), but the same album is 7.99 on MP3 in lower quality at Amazon, it’s clear that the industry doesn’t take supply and demand into pricing online.
If the software companies charged the same everywhere as they do in China, their profits would drop like a rock. Since all sales go back to the software industry (unlike used CD’s), you can argue they’re balancing out their interests against piracy and a given local economy.
A closer parallel is the price of a used video game on disc, vs downloading it on, say XBox live.
The software industry is trying for years to prevent a market for used software
You legally didn’t (don’t?) even own the copy, you just “license” it for use on 1 computer.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
No disagreement.
I find the concept unacceptable. The music industry is trying the same with MP3’s: There’s no such thing as a used MP3 market, the RIAA would freak.
As for music, there is a huge premium on new content that is popular right now
So no surprise that used CDs drop in price rapidly like a rock. Always did. And online sales have a premium because the producers correctly can assume that once it’s available in digital form, it will get copied a lot. And there is almost no loss in quality on the copy.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
So no surprise that used CDs drop in price rapidly like a rock. Always did.
First, I saw current albums at prices far below online pricing.
Second, I saw old albums priced at 20 times the same price at Amazon for MP3. Makes me wonder if they get any MP3 sales for those albums at that price. Most likely, a few “convenience sales”
And online sales have a premium because the producers correctly can assume that once it’s available in digital form, it will get copied a lot. And there is almost no loss in quality on the copy.
That’ll happen to any copy of an album that’s digital, CD or otherwise.

Not under Nate :)
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
He’ll have 10+ all-nba team selections, 10+ All-Star selections, 1 MVP, top 50 all-time in scoring, top 50 in 3 point shots, top 50 in FT attempts and top 15 in percentage, etc. Plus the team almost always won 50 games. He’s close, but he should still try and get that ring.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Yeah, Dirk should definitely be a lock. And Nash(to piggyback on the part of this conversation above). Two of my favorite players to not have rings. I really hope they both get one. At this point Dirk’s chance are much much higher.

Nothing against Casey, but I rarely bother with the Blazers’ own online services.
Me neither

My wife won’t use it for ticket buying or looking up the schedule, when she’s trying to surprise me.
Hehe, complain to Damir about that
But I pretty much agree. It looks fancy, but I don’t want to chat with people there or have my Blazer fans facebook clone. I want player interviews and videos, I like the blogs of Casey and MB, I like the occasional chats, and it’s nice if I find some player information there. But aside from that, I don’t need much interaction..
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Pretty much.
I’d like more regular day to day content, so hopefully these jobs will fill that. But I want that through the official main site, via RSS feed or twitter or whatever other ways people find it. I don’t want to go through iamatrailblazersfan, which as you said is just another social network that isn’t needed.

The Nets fans might suffer from the same NY media overrating that the Knicks fans suffer from squared or cubed
Though I was surprised even last year that they were so bad. It would really surprise me if they were that terrible two years in a row, even without getting Wall or a first tier free agent.
As for GSOM, that blog is something else entirely at any rate ;-)
I suppose the Clippers have about the same chance to be good as the Warriors.
And the Kings, that’s a mix that could either be explosive in a good or in a terrible kind of way (with Tyreke and Cousins hogging the ball and/or having off court issues). It’s definitely a team that looks much more physical than a few years ago, which could throw off a number of teams that underestimate them. I wanted them to also go after Josh Howard to become even more terrors on the defensive end, but that didn’t work out. And Donte Greene is pretty good for that.

Make sure you’re at least doing a filter of the tap water before filling it.
Also, consider covering the ice cube tray. Not sure the best thing to cover it with, that won’t stick to the cubes.
Have a baking soda container in the freezer?
yeah we’ve got the baking soda thing in there. it helps a little but there still many things that just taste gross because of ice. plain water is the worst, but it ruins soda(which i drink very rarely) and whiskey, and in the case today, milkshakes.

That market has really fragmented and split although it's still growing (source: Gartner, based on sales data)
I remember when a number of companies had over 5% (e.g. Sony and Ericsson each, Motorola), even over 10%. Also it kinda surprises me that no other manufacturer supposedly had more than 1.6%, e.g. NEC. Nokia is steady, Samsung is the only one that has really really caught up in recent years. LG is a bit stuck in limbo. And Apple is doing their market share with a very small number of models and no customization to operators, so their costs should be significantly lower than those of Motorola and Sony Ericsson if they still have anything close to their old structure from when they were much bigger. G’Five and ZTE are Chinese companies with rather simple phones, HTC is Taiwanese. All are often manufacturing under different brand names, especially those of carriers.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
My initial reaction is "yay! competition!"
Especially since there are multiple options for the OS to run on them.
There are a number of companies dangerously close to going out of business. A few already have.
Could end up similar to the telco infrastructure market, where only a handful of large players survive, most of them already merged companies.

This lame guy at work was going off on it
He kept saying, “Obama knows his days are number. No one is going to vote for him now. He knows he’s a one term president, that’s why Obama supports the mosque.”
So then I said, “Maybe he just supports the 1st amendment and anyone that cares about that mosque wasn’t going to vote for him anyway.”
Then the lame dude started talking about overthrowing the government.

Sometimes the Onion really nails it.
MIAMI—The Florida Marlins delayed the start of their game against the St. Louis Cardinals last Sunday when Steve, their fan, failed to show up at Sun Life Stadium by the scheduled 1 p.m. start time.
“Well, we can’t really start without him,” added Rodriguez, who had earlier called Steve’s cell phone and house, but received no answer. “How would that look?”
“I seriously wonder where he could be,” said Marlins second baseman Dan Uggla, who suggested the team warm up a little longer to give their fan extra time to show up. “I know his daughter has a dentist appointment, but I’m pretty sure that’s next Sunday. Shoot, we’ll have to push the game back to 3.”
ha ha that's pretty good.

I was absolutely blown away by how much Heart still got it.
Those ladies are still out of this world, man. Cheap Trick was a little disappointed, they didn’t age super well and weren’t that great live. The only song that was really that good was “I Want You to Want Me.” Even my mom, who had seen them a few times when she was younger, thought they kind of sucked. But Heart stole the show, they were really amazing.

Oh really...I am surprised because I watched a live show of theirs (on DVD) recently
and they were really good…bad night maybe. Heart is awesome …I watched a show (from 2007) where they played their entire Dream Boat Annie album….in order….to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the album’s (their first) release ….it was sweet

hmm that's funny.
of those three bands Cheap Trick were the ones I was most into when I was trying to discover my musical tastes in high school (I ended up just sayin “zach it” and liking all kinds of different stuff) so I was looking forward to seeing them(even though I was several years out of high school at this point). It’s very possible it was an off night. Their set was pretty short, so maybe they were just trying to cram as much as they could into their play time and lost some of the quality for the sake of quantity.

I know
I was just joking since that is a pretty minor role for the dude from
THE BREAKFAST CLUB
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Did you know he was in Die Hard also??

then again 92 can say he was watching bad ass action movies while you were drooling over barney
now who is cool?

oh I'm not doubting 92's coolness.
I’m ofttimes looking longingly at the generations before me and wishing I could have lived in a time like that. A time when we weren’t obsessed with the internet and when the world was at least a little bit less zached up. PLUS, I always hated Barney. Even as a baby I refused to watch it(also, a quick google search shows that Barney wasn’t out til 92). If anything I was watching Sesame Street.

nice!
I love the first two. Haven’t seen the third since I was a child(though I own it, my lady and I just haven’t gotten around to that one) and I heard the fourth one was really crappy, but I bought it anyways(I’ve also yet to see that one).

what will happen with Jerryd Bayless' jumpshot without John Townsend
and what do you think our chances are of getting Pete Townshend to replace him

Considering what happened to Jerryd Bayless' jumpshot WITH John Townsend
I don’t expect any difference

So.
I think I know how Bayless feels when he plays against LeBron. Playing pool against my dad is just silly. He is leaps and bounds ahead of me so even though I’m decent at pool he always kicks me bum.

is it? what is depressing about this JD?
I thought that Idol posited a pretty awesome theme for the JD. Very few people actually replied to his theme, but I didn’t see much depression in here today. Except your sad breakfast pastry story :-(
