Good grief, have some new junk already. I think I want to have like 50 posts by the time I hit 25k comments. That's a ratio.

I asked this once before in a junk but has anyone here read a Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving? I was reminded of it during book club because I had thought that in reading Owen Meany that I was provided the only reason to ever consider deliberate amputation..
I'mma make this a hit and run JD. Keep keeping it kept.

Did you ask him for anything…like maybe…a football?

He seems to know a lot of what goes on here and then he’ll be totally clueless on something that everyone, at least in the JD, know.

I had the "bump" before
With my pre-season eyewitness report of our game against the Clippers… this one was a lil’ different because Dave asked me to write up something, and he asked a few others— but I dunno who besides Norsk, and I only know Norsk was asked because he said he was.
Like Norskie, I was super busy this past week, and Friday night/Saturday morning around 4am, I didn’t know what I was gonna write about yet, then I remembered my long-held opinion that it is hard to talk basketball with people in real life usually, because of what we’ve learned here, and I decided to not sleep and get it done for Mr. Dave.
I actually don’t like it that much and would want another good pass over it, as that’s my “rough draft”. I had Tom read it real quick before I sent it to Dave, Tom told me it wasn’t funny enough and would be underwhelming, and then I sent it off.
I can’t remember them now, but I had some comments and jokes that I didn’t wanna put on the front page because of the subject matter and taste. So, going “big time” did change me.

Ugh. I can keep myself up at night cringing about things I made that no one has ever seen.
I would say it was standard-level work; it was fine. If I hated it I wouldn’t ever have sent it to Dave. I also love compliments, but I ain’t sayin’ this to weasel more out of you guys.

i don’t think it has to do with him writing screenplays. i would guess he writes screenplays because he takes writing seriously and prefers that medium.

I don’t think that. It was fine. It just wasn’t that good, which I think is just bein’ honest. And it likely doesn’t even need to be mentioned, since it isn’t a big deal. It was all okay.
I like the idea and conversation about not being able to converse with average fans, and how BE has taught us a lot. I ain’t trying to be silly about it, I’m jus’ sayin’.

Oh I see

Garden Variety Internet Denizen. Play Jerryd Bayless.
WORD UP.STAY.FRESCO
i don’t believe in perfecting something you work on, rather perfect the results you want it to achieve..
if i’m happy with results and it was a mediocre attempt, i’m happy with the attempt
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
that’s an interesting thought.
i think the opposite way, just because i feel like i should put forth the very best i can. plus, the thing i’m working on is something i can control. the results, depending on what sort of work i guess, i can’t control. so if i feel my attempt was the best it could be, i don’t care what the results are.
thinking about this, though, it really does pertain to specific sorts of work I suppose. writing is one of those, in my opinion.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
i’m not sure this analogy works that well. sports might not be the best case study for this sort of discussion. especially because there is another team involved so even your best effort might not be good enough. also, the results are much more tied to the attempt.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
well, one team coasted all year and then turned it on for a two month span and (should have) won the nba championship
the other played hard during the regular season, and failed during the playoffs
and neither one would be satisfied with the results.
but say there was a team that went all out every game of the season and made the playoffs and went all out in those games too but then lost in the 2nd round. they wouldn’t be happy with the results either.
i think in sports it’s all about the result. if a team plays crappy but wins, they’re happy. if they play awesome and give 100% effort and lose, they’re not happy.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Seems very pragmatic
It’s probably the best way to go about the majority of things you do in life, just not the things you are passionate about.
Garden Variety Internet Denizen. Play Jerryd Bayless.
WORD UP.STAY.FRESCO
so you’re saying the things you are passionate about should have less effort put in to the attempt if the results are satisfactory? i would think it’d be the other way around.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
ah. that makes more sense then. hahaha
it did seem a little odd coming from you. being a painter, i thought you would probably put maximum effort into the attempt at making a good painting and let the results fall where they may.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I'm usually pretty happy with my paintings
unlike the stereotypical portray of an artist. Mostly because I guess I’m not trying to do what I have in mind right this second, but building up my skills. I’m pretty happy with where I am since I have only been painting for about 2 years or so now.
But I am always happiest after I finish a painting then I dissect all it’s flaws.

Hahaha yeah definitely not
whenever I look at older paintings I usually go “wow I could definitely do a better painting now” but then I shrug it off. Well I think my really old stuff is crap but the rest of it I can appreciate because it comes from a different place in terms of mindset and stylistic quality.

yeah i probably should have preface it depends on the types of things you do…but it is a general rule for me
i.e. i would try to map the perfect date and fail…but when i’m winging it, it will turn out better…
for most things, i just look back and say, did i enjoy it, was it what i expected…etc…i like to put stuff out there first then learn from the results versus trying to perfect it from the get go. basically, take action then refine
it allows me to do more things versus stress out about one thing
like playing the guitar…i probably won’t ever be appel or southern oregon, but my kids like it when i pound out ‘black dog’
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
I do agree, but I'd say it depends
I had some decent success with something I really didn’t like— I don’t feel good about that “successful” result even if it gave me some good stuff.

i probably shouldn’t have put “mediocre” in there because if i cared, it would be a good attempt but i would never stride for a perfect attempt that gets me in the way of actually attempting something

I had to stop working with a partner
Who just didn’t get it. I felt like he was in a rush to get it done, without worrying about the quality. I’d rather get it good on the way to getting done, and not make it like “finishing” was the goal. Making something GOOD is the goal.
#52
yes. i agree completely with this statement.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I also meant to add
“Finishing” something should be the given, at least with stuff I do— of course it’ll get “done”, so accomplishing the obvious shouldn’t be seen as the goal.
#52
that’s a major issue though…people who don’t understand the meaning of “it needs to get done and put out there so we can revise” versus trying to perfect it in a vacuum…
it’s the biggest flaw in people who have goals they never achieve….they will wait till their mind/body/content is perfect before they try to achieve them
basically, saying it could be a mental barrier to general success
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
In my case
My partner would rush to get it done, and then never wanna revise it. To him, it was DONE done.
I’d wanna hurry to get a version we can work on, and make it gooder. Hitting some endpoint doesn’t mean it’s truly “done”.
#52
When I do things that I care about
I want to do them well because I want to see personal improvement, I want to be good at what I care about. So yeah it does suck whenever I am with people who are just half-assing it to get it done.
But seeing as the majority of my group work takes place in school I usually don’t have too many problems.

"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
i like being alone sometimes too.
the first comment on that video made me laugh.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Lol
That comment is funny.
Additionally, when she is walking alone in the woods, she talks of being watched birds and squirrels …..I was thinking more like bears and serial killers…but that says more about me I guess
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"’
she was sort of an odd duck.
but she made many good points. my favorite being about the cutesy lies slogans told to kindergartners.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I thought it kinda started to get jammed up toward the end
I spent a lot of time alone back in the day….and it had some high points. But some things about it just suck …..probably the biggest is the lack of someone to turn to when you have an “ah-ha” moment or see a beautiful sunset. Sometimes it is ok….but mostly I like to share those things with another
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"’
yes, it is ideal to be able to share those experiences, i agree.
but i also think she makes a very good point that our society puts a tremendous stigma on being alone. and that being alone is a good thing for people to know how to do.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Yes...also true....but since I do know this....I avoid walking alone in the woods ...because of Bears and Serial killers
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"’
probably a wise idea.
i still walk alone in the woods though. because the bears should fear me!

I notice you didn't mention serial killers, Dexte...I mean ...DTL

When did Eddie Vedder start wearing hipster glasses?
I guess that’s better than a few years ago when Vedder was wearing cop sunglasses.
After seeing Vedder in that Cubby uniform, I’m all for him as the Chicago Cubs manager next season. Heck, a chimpanzee could be the field manager of a MLB franchise — as its one of the easiest coaching jobs in all of sports — as the only way to be a bad manager is by abusing pitchers (e.g., Don Baylor/Dusty Baker) or being a complete pushover (e.g., John McLaren).
On a serious note, though, it’ll be interesting to see if the Seattle M’s fire Don Wakamatsu after this season. My guess is he’ll get the boot, since front office and clubhouse politics are going against him. For me, I personally dislike Wakamatsu for relying heavily on unproductive players like Rob Johnson and Sean White; yet, I contend that’s mainly Jack Z’s fault for keeping those guys on the 25-man roster over a long period of time.
Oh, and even though being a baseball manager is overrated and they’ve got no substantial impact on a team’s win-loss record, I’d truthfully like to see the Seattle M’s move someone down from the front office to handle the field manager duties (e.g., John Boles), since that way there’s unlikely to be a disconnect between the baseball operations department and the coaching staff.
By the way, here’s a photo of John Boles with one of the M’s minor league prospects in Clinton, Iowa last year.
Above all else, communication is key with a baseball manager — which is why it’s more about managing than coaching, as baseball isn’t a complicated sport like basketball or especially football — since they’re the middle man between the suits upstairs and the guys out on the field.
eddie vedder is awesome…he can wear whatever he wants…is that john cusack, two from eddie’s right? or is that giantblazer picking his nose?

With Ben Roethlisberger, the allegations of rape against him held more ...
water than the Kobe Bryant ordeal — which in part had to do with the Black Mamba’s accuse, Katelyn Faber, having reported mental health issues with bipolar disease — additionally, the dude has a major slimeball factor in his appearance and the way he presents himself. Bryant, however, seems more socially awkward — similar to Alex Rodriguez — rather than outright sleazy.
Regarding Tiger Woods, his fame transcends beyond the sports world. Heck, the reason his sex scandal received so much publicity is due to him being a pop culture icon. Not even Brett Farve holds that lofty status, y’know.
Actually, I'd say most folks detest Brett Favre 'cause of his self-aggrandizing, ...
attention-seeking behavior than any past drug issues or infidelity. Without a doubt, many people have a real tough time relating to someone with that much of an ego and, moreover, comes across as apathetic — if not completely unempathetic — toward others around him who are affected by his self-centered actions.
Yeah, one reason I feel many people turned on LeBron James -- aside ...
from the folks in Cleveland, who are a mixture of angry and heartbroken — is due to envy. For whatever reason, society expects professional athletes to be humble, down-to-earth people.
That’s rarely the case, though, since anyone whos possesses that much fame and fortune is bound to be proud and showy — as noted by James’ ESPN appearance and his flashy shindig in Las Vegas. After witnessing such vainglorious actions, the average fan gets upset they can’t relate to someone of James’ ilk and their envy turns to outrage and condemnation.
That is a great use of the word vainglorious

oh wow. To Jenn Sterger of all people. She keeps finding ways to drag out her 15 minutes— not bad for someone who’s famous solely for being an attractive football fan.
but wow, that would bring Favre’s legacy down in a hurry.
that would quite possibly be the worst person imaginable to text photos of your junk to— do you really think JENN STERGER wouldn’t go public with them and seek to keep her name out there.
for this reason, I’m also not convinced she’s telling the truth, though I don’t particularly want to see the evidence either.
I buy it.
For one reason, Jenn Sterger worked for the New York Jets when Brett Favre was there. Secondly, Sterger looks like a younger version of Favre’s big-breasted brunette wife, Deanna, so that’d explain his attraction to her.
lol
Reading big-breasted brunette wife in my AK voice is very amusing

I personally find Brett Favre more irritating than LeBron James, which is somewhat due ...
to me feeling that LBJ is likely a person who’s oblivious to the callousness of “The Decision” — for I don’t think he meant any malice by it — and how that certainly wasn’t the most tactful way to leave Cleveland. When it comes to Favre, however, I don’t see any excuse for his self-absorbed, grandstanding jackassery. By now, though, he should fully recognize that leaving folks hanging who he works for — whether it was Green Bay in the past or Minnesota today — is thoughtless, egomaniacal behavior.
He knows better?
Maybe….but James also knows better I think…the Akron paper stunt tends to indicate this. You can’t do that without knowing you are being a jerk

Although this is just speculation, I honestly don't think that LeBron James was ...
aware of how poorly “The Decision” would be viewed by non-Cleveland NBA fans.
Because James is someone who’s been coddled since being a teenager due to his supreme basketball skills, I think he lacks an understanding of how certain actions of his affect people around him.
Sure, James made sure to thank his hometown of Akron, Ohio. That’s not surprising, though. James, however, isn’t seemingly aware of his “brand” taking a hit nationally from how he went about free agency. Of course, his “brand” should be just fine in the long run. He might not be as beloved as before, but hate sells just as well.
Who does he think he is "branding" for??
Don’t you think it is common knowledge that Fans are the customers for his “Brand” …..and acting like a jerk to his customers is probably counter productive?

Yeah, LeBron James doesn't seemingly surround himself with the most ...
media savvy people. When a childhood friend named Maverick Carter is your top advisor, there’s problems. That, however, does show James is loyal to a few folks close to him, which shows he isn’t completely self-centered.
I like to watch him play too… mostly cause he keeps throwing interceptions

Define good seats
Seats at the front will often get splashed on with all kinds of stuff. You’ll want to be at least 8 rows back (I’m guessing on that, but their web site usually gives details).
It’s not a bad show, we enjoyed it, but if you can wait for half price tickets, do so. The one we saw wasn’t quite as percussion heavy as the guys here saw.
Check online for some sites that will ofter half price tickets right now, if you haven’t. We found that handy.
The Knicks might be alright long-term after all
Wark is apparently a top candidate for Knicks GM says ESPN Rumors.

Hehe, maybe KP could become Wark's heir in Denver. That would be funny after all of Woj's rumors about the other way around.
Or KP could get quoted by Woj about Wark’s dubious reputation in the league.
The rumor is that the Nugs want to hire some former employees
From the Wiz or the Raps instead.
Welcome back to sucking Nugs fans.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
That would be a good hire, as well as an indication that Carmelo Anthony may soon be in the Big Apple.
Heck, if the Denver Nuggets can’t get Anthony to sign an extension, they might even now consider trading him and Renaldo Balkman to the Knicks for a package of salary filler (e.g., Eddy Curry), Wilson Chandler, Anthony Randolph, Bill Walker, an unprotected 2017 first-round draft pick, a couple future second-round draft picks, and cash considerations.
C: Nene
PF: Kenyon Martin
SF: Anthony Randolph
SG: Aaron Afflalo
PG: Chauncey Billups
C: Chris Andersen
PF: Al Harrington
SF: Wilson Chandler
SG: J.R. Smith
PG: Ty Lawson
C: Eddy Curry
PF: Shelden Williams
SF: Bill Walker
SG: Coby Karl
PG: Anthony Carter
That’s still a likely playoff team, albeit one unable to make it out of the first round.
And without Melo
Denver would do well of course just to blow up the team and start over because they aren’t going to win.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I'm not a fan of Anthony Randolph, but acquiring him is one way to begin the retooling process.
I also really, really dislike the signing of Al Harrington, for he’s terribly inefficient and chucks the ball like a madman. Besides, an all-around better player like Louis Amundson could’ve been had for the minimum.
I don't think they could have had Lou for the min
But definitely for part of the MLE.

Bike riding is a UN plot to enslave Americans
Says GOP governor candidate in CO.
http://www.denverpost.com/election2010/ci_15673894
Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes is warning voters that Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper’s policies, particularly his efforts to boost bike riding, are “converting Denver into a United Nations community.”
“This is all very well-disguised, but it will be exposed,” Maes told about 50 supporters who showed up at a campaign rally last week in Centennial.
Maes said in a later interview that he once thought the mayor’s efforts to promote cycling and other environmental initiatives were harmless and well-meaning. Now he realizes “that’s exactly the attitude they want you to have.”
“This is bigger than it looks like on the surface, and it could threaten our personal freedoms,” Maes said.
He added: “These aren’t just warm, fuzzy ideas from the mayor. These are very specific strategies that are dictated to us by this United Nations program that mayors have signed on to.”
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely

Me and good friend were walking into (or out of…can’t remember) a dance club (way back in the day). My friend was walking with his arms swinging slightly (as is normal) while talking to me, and didn’t see this hottie trying to squeeze by him…the swing of his hand hit her right in the muffin. She immediately turned around and slapped him in the face….it was hilarious, so I started laughing. He spent the next 5 mins apologizing to her and explaining that it was an accident …which was even funnier

It makes sense for them to rush it
since there’s not going to be a recall of the iPhone 4. From the article, it sounds like it’s more like an iPhone 4.5… same components, repackaged into a different shell. I bet they have some sort of trade in discount for iPhone 4 owners as well.

we use OPS and WHIP in one of my leagues— that’s kind of advanced.
I don’t mind having stats like RBI and R in fantasy baseball even though they are awful stats to evaluate players— just means you have to take context into account when you do your draft.
though it would be fun to just use advanced stats. team with the most WAR for the season wins.
hmmm…
yeah. that would be interesting.

I dunno…. maybe a 35-40% chance? I could see Ichiro playing well into his 40s a la Vizquel and I think he’s got a couple more very good years left.
i would put it around 15%
there isn’t a lot of history for players over 800 hits after they turn 36. Baseball-reference.com says that 17 players have done this.
(as an aside, I think that it is lame that baseball-reference makes you subscribe to see the entire list)

It would have been debatable a couple years ago. At this point, I think it’s a sure thing. Even if you completely write off his time in Japan, dude’s got a decade of MLB service, hit over 200 hits every year, set the MLB hits record, played stellar defense throughout, and it seems like he could keep this going at least through the end of his contract. There’s very little debate in my mind.
Did you know that there's an Ichiro museum?
My dad went there while my parents were living in Japan and he still talks about it….
not sure if this link will work, but Gary Matthews Jr’s catch here is another nominee, just unreal:
http://v.ku6.com/show/z4FdSpU8LwCImJYM.html
yes! i remember that.
that one might really be the best ever. that’s a crazy crazy catch.
i can’t find the specific video, but i think Ryan Freel and Eric Byrnes have made some of my favorite catches also: diving towards the fence, back to the ball. amazing.

he’s like the opposite of an in prime Griffey (who could make the impossible seem easy). Byrnes made the easy seem incredibly difficult— but also cool. He’s fun to watch for sure, but I dislike guys who hustle into dumb plays as often as Byrnes did.
Hustle is good but intelligence>hustle.
i thought the all time best make the easy look great outfielder was Jim Edmonds. that guy dove for the fun of it after catching the ball i think.
also, another great play, but i can’t find video, is when Buck Martinez tagged out two guys at the plate and the first guy that hit him broke his leg.

Bret Boone was the Eric Byrnes of infielders, for he also made what'd be a routine play ...
for most second basemen look like some incredible out. Dammit, Boone was way overrated during his second go-around in Seattle. I hated that guy, too.
he’s playing 2B on the all-roids team though right?
we should make a lineup.
1B-McGwire
2B-Boone
3B-ARod
SS-?
LF-Bonds
CF-Brady Anderson?
RF-Sosa
C-Pudge?
P-Clemens
RP-Gagne
and, in the AL, DH-Canseco
does this seem about right?

naw….i think Boone put up better roid numbers than Tejada. Boone has to be the starter i think. Tejada as the utility guy makes a ton of sense though, so let’s go with that. Tejada could do SS/3B and maybe 2B too.

Giambi’s career numbers and peak numbers are better than Canseco’s. Giambi was the better hitter. Canseco may have been the better player since he also played the field (albeit not particularly well) and had speed.
it would just seem wrong to have an all-peds team without Canseco on it thought right?

cause it’s 400+ feet from home plate and a basket catch. and it was a long way to run.
the most amazing thing about that play, though, is the throw after the catch. i think he either doubled a guy off, or kept him from advancing and scoring a run.

the guy advanced from 2nd to 3rd, but everyone raves about how Mays kept him from scoring. Never quite understood that one myself, even though I understand that park was massive, so tagging up 2 bases on a play like that wasn’t unheard of.

my 360 got the RROD and it was about a month after my warranty expired. But I complained and told them I knew all about the class action lawsuit against them for intentionally sending out the system with this problem and would be happy to add my name to the list after being a happy xbox customer for years. They fixed it within a week and sent me 3 free months of xbox live and 1600 microsoft points…

When I got home the neighbor came over and said my dog was barking for three hours starting at 5:30 AM
I told my wife and she got so mad that she wanted to fight him. She said she was sleeping, woke up at 5:45 AM, the dog was sleeping with her, and then she didn’t leave for almost an hour. She wanted me to go over and tell them it wasn’t my dog. I’m going to sleep instead.

Welcome to an old crappy subway system
The T needs a LOT of $ to get it back to even decent shape.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I like it, and it’s very well priced (same for the buses, though they are a bit more expensive when you don’t buy passes). I also like that you never stand around for 20 minutes. There are also a couple of new stations that don’t need to hide behind any other city. But the crossing stations downtown like Park Square are brutal.
Its a decent system, don't get me wrong
But parts of it (Green Line, cough), really need a lot of work.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Yeah, the trains are straight out of Japan. 1980s Japan ;-)
Problem is, it’s one of the top 3 most needed lines, so how do you upgrade there without shutting the whole system down?
And Boston's traffic sucks as is
Look their system is decent, it just needs updating.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
They were arguably worse before the Big Dig was finished
That really HAS improved traffic flow.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Especially to the airport
Though I was only there once before the project began, and I was like 16, so I don’t have exact memories. I e.g. remember a lot more skyscrapers with brownish-looking facades than there really are. Unless they are now standing in the shadows of the really big ones or I only visited the city from the wharf side then, that seems to be a false memory.
Pre-big dig
From the airport to my uncle’s house in Somerville took about 30-40 minutes, now it takes maybe 20.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
That whole areas by the waterfront has really opened up
Maybe PDX might eventually do that with the eastside freeway or part of 405.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Its a problem
But they need to fix it somehow. London, NYC, Chicago and Boston need to get together and work out how to upgrade their outdated transit systems since they share similar issues.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Ever been to Paris? The metro really needs some upgrades too
Though in general, most mayors would scream hurray if they had a mass transit system like those cities. I know some cities in Europe that tore out their above-ground tram rails after the second world war, and are facepalming about that decision ever since.
The difference between the RER and the Metro (both of which are near my relatives apartment)
Is huge.

them climbin' in yo windows, they snachin' yo people up
yeah, both whites and latinos voted nearly 50/50, while the black community was about 70% in favor of prop 8.
Yes,
but both voting blocks are economically liberal and culturally conservative, so I don’t know how fair it is to say that ‘liberals voted for prop 8’
i’m not arguing either for or against whether or not my statement is true — i’ve just always understood cali being a “liberal” state, and thus it was surprising to me that prop 8 passed
Cali is a democratic state
But not hugely one, except for Grey Davis they’ve had R governors for a very long time.
Its like the rest of the west, deep blue western pockets and deep red eastern pockets.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
The black voting block
is very socially conservative on anything non-race related. So is the Hispanic block. In addition, the prop was non-intuitive (voting ‘no’ meant ’yes to gay marriage). Plus, as Jake said, we gots a whole lot of dead red conservatives here.
Yeah, there are a tend to be a lot of socially conservative, close-minded folks in ...
the African-American community. It is what it is, though, and I don’t at all expect much progressive cultural change, since prejudice and intolerance toward homosexuals is deeply embedded there.
Maybe it's the libertarian in me, but I feel that marriage should be wholly abolished as a governmental ...
institution. I’m also against the idea of joint tax returns, too, since I feel that everyone should file individually.

I've long said that the government should just make every marriage a "civil union"

Let the churches individually decide what they want marriage to be or not.
Doesn’t harm me any if one church decides not to marry gays and the other does, that’s their right.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
That's been my argument for a while as well
There’s a problem, though. Most religious people I suggest it to think I’m joking. When I tell them I’m not, they act scandalized.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
It's funny how radical religious orgs want government to protect their institutions
but don’t want the government to be involved in how they operate them. I don’t want the government running churches or telling ministers they have to marry gays if it’s against their beliefs, but there seriously has to be a line.

Yeah, I'm all for each congregation of worship -- no matter the religion -- doing things on ...
their own terms. At the same time, though, the separation of church and state that’s set forth in the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment — indicates that marriage shouldn’t be a governmental instiution.

I don't even like the concept of gov't sanctioned civil unions, for handing out marriage licenses ...
to any partnership isn’t something that federal, state, or municipal governments should involve itself.
The concept of common-law marriages in some states irks me, too, as well as disagree with the tax breaks that people get when married. Yeah, I’d abolish joint tax returns.
Marriage is a personal choice just like any other and should in no way result in tax breaks
In New Zealand, we have a tax credit system for couples with children, regardless of whether they are married or not. This is designed to help offset the costs of having a child so that couples can choose to keep one parent at home or can still support themselves if they are a lower income household. I think this is a pretty fair scheme, although I may be biased as my wife and I benefit from it. As with anything, there are those who abuse the system because the more dependents you have, the more money you get. That is pretty unavoidable in any government scheme where people can gain financially though – there will always be scammers.
The idea that being married should gain you any tax breaks whatsoever is pretty ludicrous to me – its just a piece of paper and a promise. Don’t see what that has to do with income/tax.

this is a large part of why I'm terrified to have children
I want my children, if I have them, to have a good life. A better childhood than I had. Not only am I afraid of the world I will be bringing them into, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make the contributions to their life that they need.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
hell, it's what I'm doing.
but I hate it and it forced me to go to a school I hate where I didn’t learn jack diddly in my major.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
Well I've said before that if I had a good academic advisors and rich parents I also would have started out differently
But it can still all come together. Who knows when you’ll need your major, or what other skills you learned that are relevant. Yesterday I read an article where a CEO said the best guy he ever hired had a history major, and he was CEO of a tech and business think tank and did nothing even closely related to history. But the guy knew how to think critically, pose good questions and research stuff.
Yeah, I see that logic
the only thing that kills me is my major is Japanese and I plan on using my Japanese to teach English in Japan. And at PSU I barely learned any Japanese even though I gave them several thousand for their classes.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
The credential will pay off in opportunities though
For example, my uncle works for a defense contractor doing R&D stuff. He’s largely self educated, one of the math and money wizzes who learns stuff simply because they study things in depth on their own without the need to learn it from somewhere. He’s taken some college classes, and learned a lot through work experience, but never completed a certificate or degree.
He’s good at his job, and is regularly praised by his employers for his ability to solve complex problems involving experimental technology. However, they hire guys barely out of grad school, often in their late 20’s, with PhD’s and MS’s in science and engineering, no work experience, who can’t do what he does, but they make WAY more and have higher positions…because they have degrees.
It’s really disgusting when you think about the higher education industry in this way. It doesn’t actually prepare you for anything. You can acquire all the skills you need simply through work experience. But you won’t get the opportunity learn until you pay thousands of dollars to waste time in class and learn nothing of importance, usually at the glacial pace of wealthy dim-wits who are there because of who they know, all for a piece of paper that says you are qualified to do “X.”
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???

yeah the American collegiate system is a mess
thanks for the perspective, though. I remain optimistic, even though I fear my degree is going to be useless for me since I’m not as good at Japanese as I should be.

Our tax credits are pretty impressive

I completely agree and I recced you, homie.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
I like this a lot
Something similar to the system you guys have would also prevent free-rider problems with the welfare system. I knew a young couple that had two kids and had never been married. The woman received state aid and child support, and didn’t have to work much since one of the children was very, very young. Since she had virtually no income aside from child support, she received A LOT of aid. However, unbeknownst to the State, the father was living with the woman and children, working and making a decent living, so his income was not considered on their welfare applications.
So marital status also has ramifications on the pay out end that hurt tax payers. This example, of course, is illegal, but it wouldn’t be possible if we though of people as “couples,” regardless of whether or not that means the pair is married.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I tend to agree that the word "bigot" is too strong in this case, for a fair amount of people who ...
are against non-heterosexual — and even non-monogamous marriages — do so out of an illiberal, narrow-minded tradtion rather than true enmity. I wouldn’t even call it homophobia, either, because many folks who are against gay marriage aren’t in actual fear of it — for it’s not like they’re proposing anti-sodomy laws or whatnot — instead, it’s about them domatically standing by their pious belief systems.
Then again, I’ll never understand why numerous religious folks get divorced — which is a mortal sin — yet, I guess that’s Cafeteria Christianity at its eye-rolling worst. So yeah, this whole sanctimony of marriage nonsense is balderdash to me.
Calling divorce a mortal sin mischaracterizes some churches beliefs
There is a broad spectrum; as you note, some people who oppose gay marriage are not even opposed to gay rights. Many religious folks who get divorces do so under circumstances that seem to justify their actions (through their lenses), and don’t consider that a sin, per se.

are you mad about how much of your tithe money was wasted on that measure?

them climbin' in yo windows, they snachin' yo people up
did the church use any money for the ProtectMarriage.com coalition?
my understanding was that all contributions were non-monetary (and I have no idea what that actually means)
And I am neither mad, nor do I feel that the efforts have been wasted. Marriage between man and woman has been fundamental to society and I feel that efforts should be taken to protect that, even if in the end you end up on the losing side of a court case.
That means they did things like run phone banks
Or print literature instead of giving $.

Which is an indication to the judge that the state knows its wrong (and btw almost never happens).

the obligation of the gov't to defend its laws is a really interesting concept
Last year Obama had to defend an anti-gay federal law, since as the president, he has to side with current law. It was really awkward, and a lot of liberals were pissed that he wouldn’t just do what Bush did and ignore his obligations out of principle.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
is it because the general populace, ie the people who our gov’t is supposed to represent, are the ones who vote it all into law? therefore, it’s up to the gov’t to protect its constituents?
Once a law is enacted
It is the people’s will, one way or another legally, and thus the state must defend it.

They had to prove there was a compelling state interest in the restriction. They did not (they didn’t even really try).

Y'know, I've come to grips with why this guy is an Internet sensation.
It’s not ‘cause he’s African-American or living in a seemingly poor neighboorhood; rather, it’s due to him being unabashedly effeminate, which doesn’t fit the stereotype and makes him a unique personality.
i think it’s cause he said “hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband too cause they’re raping everybody out here”
and he said it with conviction being serious. it was hilarious. but yeah, his style helped him.

Queiona Burt, 31, of Victorville and Marina Ruth Vargas, 29, of Hesperia were charged with interference with peaceful conduct on campus and unlawful acts committed at school grounds, according to court records.
If convicted, they could face up to six months in jail on the former count and up to 90 days in jail or a $400 fine on the latter count.
The two women got into an argument on June 23 at Puesta del Sol Elementary in Victorville over a Facebook comment about the Los Angeles Lakers, according to Burt. It developed into a physical fight and several men jumped in, turning the incident into a brawl.

Wes Matthews is closer to Damien Wilkins in skill level, although relating it to Portland ...
I went with the Trenton Hassell comparison from a contractual standpoint.
I understand where you're coming from
But saying he isn’t very good on the basis of one season (albeit a season when he started over half the season for a playoff team) is a wee bit risky. I would consider him an unproven commodity, and the contract is definitely high…but IMO, the verdict on contract value won’t truly be known for at least 3 years.
"I'm a man, but I can change.....if I have to......I guess." - Red Green
well, that’s always the case, but I’m not a fan of results based analysis. Maybe Matthews blows up and makes us look smart, but I doubt it. He’s likely to improve some, but he’s not a high upside player. I think he’ll be a little better than Martell.

i pay 5/34 for him if i was PA. if that’s the guy your team you hired wanted, you shell out the money for it. there are more ridic contracts than his this summer.
asking to get a bargain for any RFA is crazy if that RFA performed for the home team.
you pay a premium for RFA…it’s like a corporate takeover. HP bought Palm for $1.2Billion…everyone knows they’re not worth $1.2B but if that’s what your team thought was the price to get them to move the needle for your firm, you do it.

i think it was sloan assigning him to that is where he got the rep unless he did it cuz it was a lost cause

No better options is my theory
They traded Brewer and so were left with Matthews, Korver or Miles to defend Kobe.
I’d take Matthews out of that trio too.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
i guess this is how i frame it in my head.
i rather have Wes than Martell…martell’s headcaseness bugs the heck out of me…i love him as a person but man, he was headcase.
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
Oh there is no doubt that Matthews>Martell as a backup 3
Martell could never adjust to playing sporadic minutes.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
Not stats wise
But in terms of willingness to accept the role etc I’d sure hope there is a big gap!
If we were after a 30-35 MPG starter then I’d probably take Martell.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
we’ll see about the stats…wes was 39% his rookie season, and you would expect a nice bump 2nd and 3rd year…
martell was never a good 3pt shooter as people thought or a good team defender…one on one, yeah, he was decent…
martell will make somewhere close to wesley right? so i don’t see the big difference in finance
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
I agree with that. We got rid of one mediocre value at backup SF and brought in another one, but in a 5 year deal. ugh, I do not like the length of this contract.
yeah i do lean towards not liking the length for sure but it was a weird market and if it doesn’t hurt us long term, i think it’s fine…
i’m putting a lot of faith in Cho here
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
unique or not, a staff will look at all players and target them…and if that requires paying a premium to get them, so be it.
if you don’t, then you limit your pool…same thing as trading for a guy…if you have to throw in Roy to get cp3, so be it.
yeah, maybe they could have knock the 5th year off or whatevers in his contract, but to get players you want, you pay for it…hopefully, you don’t do that all the time but saying all our deals has to be optimal to what is perceived versus fmv, is kinda crazy.
i guess the matthews deal is inconclusive at best and i’m not gonna write it off as a bad deal
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
The problem with that is that overpaying a guy you like more often than not turns out to be a short-sighted move
This is by no means a franchise crippling move like the Arenas deal but it certainly isn’t an intelligent use of resources.
If they paid this much for where Matthews currently is as a player, they vastly overpaid. If they paid for what they think Matthews will become as a player, they made a stupid decision. The whole paying for potential thing is ridiculous unless guys are young enough to make it relevant – for a 23 year old guy it would just be wishful thinking.
Either way I’m liking this deal less and less the more I look at it – he is not the sort of player that justifies the type of deal we gave him. Simple as that, RFA or not. I supported the Millsap deal, he was a proven player with certain elite skills. Matthews is a nice player, a solid backup but is he anything more than that?
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
i don’t think you can tell rfa value of 5/34 until a couple more years…regardless if it’s matthews or whoever…esp with the new cba
the key question is what amount is overpaying? is the difference $1m, $2m, etc? at what price would utah match? we don’t know but i’m sure the blazer had some formula…
like LMA, he didn’t deserve that contract last year obviously, but deserving it, and what he can get is two diff story. he would have been easily a max this year
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
Matthews could not have gotten 5/34 from elsewhere from everything I've read
Lots of team would’ve queued up to give LA 5/65 if he was an RFA this offseason, probably would’ve got the max (which would be idiotic).
I’d rather offer players what they’re worth and let other teams overpay if they see fit to do that. There are enough other avenues to acquire players that you don’t need to throw money around in free agency,
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
we can’t really say…unless you talk directly to other GMs then i’ll stand corrected….did anyone expect R. Gay to get the max? Joe Cool? how about Travis contract? Channing? Amir Johnson? etc…
the thing about this issue is that we’re not throwing money around. are we mortgaging our future with this bad deal? is this not a movable contract if he sucks? did we throw all our eggs in this basket?
i just don’t think it’s that big of a contract to call it a bad deal. i don’t see how this is throwing money around when none of us truly know the monetary difference of what Utah would be willing to match and what we offer. if it’s less than $1.5m per year difference, that is marginal for a guy the team wanted
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
I don't like the Wesley Matthews deal for a number of reasons
There are enough to choose from – stats, went undrafted for a reason, Sloan’s system makes players look better than they are etc
I don’t mind having Matthews as a backup 3 so long as we have a young guy who has been hurt quite a but like Nic starting. Having him at 3-4 million would have been great, I assume the FO/PA just wanted him enough that they said screw it lets overpay him. That could backfire or people could forget about it if Matthews turns out to be a solid rotation player.
One thing is for sure, this deal is never going to look like a bargain…
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
i get those points but my argument is if your staff that you hired wanted him, you won’t be able to get him for 3 mill a year
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
Oh I realise we would never have gotten him at 3 mill
Its more a case of deciding to look elsewhere when you realise you would have to pay the full MLE for an undrafted rookie who had a solid rookie campaign but in a pretty unique system. I would’ve looked elsewhere without doubt. It didn’t look like Matthews was going anywhere in a hurry…
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
i would agree with that…but i don’t know what the Blazer staff was targeting…if that was their plan and target, i can support it
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
I tried to
But logic, numbers and what I’ve seen of his play tells me otherwise. I hope he proves to be worth every penny. Just think its more likely he won’t.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
i just don’t like pissing on something until i get to see how it turns out.
if he sucks, i’ll jump on the “this deal sucks” bandwagon fast
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
Guess I just got the by analysing the deal to the point of overanalysis
I’ll be ok with the deal if he does turn out to be the defender people are saying he is, can hit the 3 at 40% over the next few years and can be a 2/3 rather than just a 3 – which would require an improvement in ball handling and shot creation.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
The right contract for Wes Matthews would've been more than frontloaded, ...
but also with a de-escalating annual salaries. That way, Matthews would’ve been easier to dump once he doesn’t meet expectations.
Well, it depends on people's expectations of him.
To me, he’s a so-so backup 3 on offense outside of Utah and overrated on defense.
If he meets my expectations, which are fairly realistic
I’ll still be disappointed in the deal. If he does what I outlined above then I’m OK with it. The jump from where he is to being a primary 2/3 backup is pretty large though – losing transition buckets will hurt his numbers more than likely.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
I would argue we need more deals like this, if only for trade purposes
Of course if his best year ever is his rookie year, that deal sucks. But we’ve seen recently that any deal can get moved, and I don’t think this deal is particularly bad. It’s not Matt Carroll bad or DeSagana Diop bad or Hedo Turkoglu bad.
notice how few of the really bad contracts are given out by the smart teams.
I agree that this deal isn’t any kind of disaster, but I still don’t like it.
I can buy into KP2's argument that the fifth year wouldn't have been necessary
Since Utah was hurting about the front part of the deal, and not the later years once AK47 and Okur are off their cap. Aside from that, I have not much to criticize about it right now. It’s probably a bit like LMA’s deal, it’s the money they had to pay to get the players locked up.
i thought the deal was front loaded?

bungee jumping was scary enough.

it was terrifying. to me at least. felt like falling and nothing was attached to you. i didn’t expect it to be that scary.
skydiving was way more fun for me.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
no it was a harness thing. it’s just feels so much like falling. and it was off that bridge at Cougar, which, i think, was the highest bungee jump in the states or something. so there was time to feel just how far you’re falling. it was crazy. one of my prouder moments though when i overcame the fear and jumped the second time, which was a backwards jump.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
that swing looks a lot easier than the bungee. that did look fun. i would probably try that.

seriously, though. if you wanna bungee jump, there is a place in Cougar that does a jump. you do two jumps, i can’t remember the price. and then after you do both, you get a tshirt (the shirt was a main motivator for me doing that second jump)

and the screaming little children everywhere is driving my crazy
I think thats why bar’s and stripclubs exist, children can’t go to them
The hotel on the coast is filled with kids
It’s crazy loud.
Other than for the obvious, Vegas seems to completely exist for vacationers who want a kid free zone.
except there are so many dang kids there these days.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

Antoine, my wife and I are having a philosophical discussion regarding your TV appearance. Is there a segment of society in which a person might have kids, and wife, and multiple husbands, all at once? I think you might be onto something here…
them climbin' in yo windows, they snachin' yo people up
Ok, I've been meaning to ask this question for a few.
A number of Blazer fans are bringing it up as a sort of nightmare scenario.
Say we lose all next season to a lockout, unlikely as it may be. The current theory is that all players will lose that season in their contract. So, for example, LBJ has a 6 year contract. He plays this year, the following year is lost, then he’ll have 4 years left and won’t get paid for the lost year. As far as I know, this theory is not totally confirmed.
The nightmare scenario is that, as far as this applies to Oden, it means he won’t play during his RFA season, but it still counts. So as such, when the lockout is over, he’ll be an UFA.
Is there any reason to believe this nightmare scenario is accurate?
Because we are fans of the Portland Trail Blazers
After what happened last year, I’m willing to believe just about any nightmare scenario.
If that happened and we offered Greg more than anyone else (as we could) and he went elsewhere, then it would be a nightmare scenario.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
don't worry sammy, we all know you're a world champion bull-rider.
them climbin' in yo windows, they snachin' yo people up
a) Losing a full year to a lockout seems highly unlikely to me. If at all, I would expect at least a half-season.
b) That scenario is correct, though you have to account for what the next CBA might say about chances to retain your own free agents anyway.
Right, I doubt the next CBA wouldn't have some sort of provision like this if a full year lockout does occur.
I cannot see the owners agreeing to a new CBA without this, actually.
"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
nightmare scenario
is that we do play next season, he does steady and stays healthy…then someone gives him a max offer, and we won’t match because we don’t think it was a good deal.
then the next season after that, he’s an all-star and wins a title with another team ;)

Here's a scenario I'm a bit wondering/worried about: Matthews pushing Nic to the bench
Then we have a disgruntled Frenchie
he did a few seasons ago
when Outlaw was changed to the starting 3 last minute opening game
by Peteyhasnohead on Aug 4, 2010 6:59 PM PDT up reply actions
Remember Nate going back on his promise to start him in his rookie year against LA?
He was pissed all year about that
Deservedly so
Unless Matthews has been hiding things with his game, I simply don’t see this happening. I don’t think it’s a reasonable worry. Batum’s been the starter since forever. Giving vet Outlaw the chance to be the starter after Martell’s injury doesn’t really apply here I think.
I would be SHOCKED if Batum is on the bench and Matthews starts. At least with Blake one can see how his shooting helps Roy more, but Matthews doesn’t provide anything Batum doesn’t do— and isn’t nearly as promising.
That’d be Nelly-level dumb.

Even though Matthews says he sees himself as a starter
Every dang player says that. He shouldn’t be upset if he is on the bench.

i don’t see this happening at all.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
With Nate, I can see anything happen. And Matthews thinks of himself as a starter.
Unless Roy is willing to start at 1, I could totally see it happen. One out of Matthews, Nic, Miller will be miffed.
I could easily see Nate saying Nic should be the guy off the bench
to anchor the second unit or something.
Just like Miller.
that would be ludicrous. Nic is a way better player than Matthews. it’d be a shame to see Nate repeat the mistake he should have learned from last year.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
This is NATE we are talking about here.
Miller is also 100 times better than Blake but that didn’t stop him.
yeah. and hopefully he learned from that mistake.
or at least has an assistant that learned from that mistake and can tell him to shape up.
i wasn’t even considering this possibility and now i’m nervous.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Per 36 minutes:
Batum: 14.7/5.5/1.7
Matthews: 13.7/3.4/2.2
It’s not like the difference is huge.
them climbin' in yo windows, they snachin' yo people up
yeah but Batum is a better defender right?
and what about shooting percentage?
Batum was almost 50/90/40 right? something like that?
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Raw stats per 36 huh
efficiency, positional versatility, defensive ability all in favour of Nico.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
correction
But Matthews was abused by Kobe and Melo in the playoffs. And Nate watched that and liked it.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
but neither Hedo nor Wesley were actually very good at all in the playoffs! They just did some neat things that looked good on TV. If that’s how we’re scouting players, we’re done for.
I think that is possible!
I don’t think PA is dumb; he just is more like a fan than a real expert, and one who can be swayed by what he is seeing on the talk-box.
He can also be swayed by analytical, detailed nerdtalk that shows some secret and cool, I bet. And while I do think it’s PA’s doing that gets us after Hedo and Matthews and wanting to way overspend, the good outweighs the negative when I think of what other owners can be like… not willing to overspend at all.
Obviously, overspending for Hedo could be crippling, but Matthews— worst case— won’t be that bad. Just a waste of a roster spot that can be traded to help another team save if he’s worth nothing else.
#52
That's probably it
he thinks, “OK, I’m buying him because everyone on TV loves them. I GOTTA HAVE HIM.”
Mhm, I've re-watched clips from that Nuggets-Jazz series, and Melo looked very flustered
He resorted to stupid fouls after Matthews stayed in his grill all game.
I missed most of that series I think
That’s good news if he is that sort of player, since I like that.
#52
that was part of the game plan…
Kobe only wins 30% of the time when he scores more than 30 pts…so it makes sense to have him hog it
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
actually, you are not an idiot…it’s slightly true, i just don’t know the real percentage but i heard it on NBATV…that you want him to score over 30 pts and aver 18 shots…it increases your chance to beat the Lakers
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
So long as he doesn't shoot it efficiently....
Seeing as Utah lost 4 straight with Kobe scoring 30+ ; )

what are you even trying to say here?
I considered flagging this for disrespect for stats based arguments.
I don't really respect them
my point is that he pulled some stats to counter the ones i posted, and undoubtedly would also argue that his stats are better than my stats, etc, etc. forever.
them climbin' in yo windows, they snachin' yo people up
you posted stats that don’t consider pretty crucial things like pace and efficiency, he noted that when you do consider them, the numbers are pretty clearly in favor of Batum, and you said “blah blah blah” and accused him of picking stats at random and making it gospel.
i was not intending to refer to him specifically, more to the whole idea of dissecting the game to that level.

| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
There's no need for a flag fest, folks.
And, even if someone flippantly disregards Wes Matthews mediocre advanced stats, the scouting report on him is less than stellar. For Matthews, he was an undrafted free agent last year for good reasons — such as being an undersized 3, inefficient on offense, and lacking handles — yet, luckily for hiim, he went to the one team with a system that makes subpar wing players look decent.
For Portland, though, Matthews is nothing except for a more highly compensated, shorter version of Martell Webster; that’s it. Outside of Utah, Matthews is a backup 3 instead of a starting 2 — which is an even bigger problem for Ronnie Brewer in Chicago, which is why obtaining Rudy Fernandez would benefit the Bulls — and that’ll be clearly evident next season.
i’m not sure of this but isn’t Martel’s and Wes salary pretty close next year?
martell was not good so getting someone in that had a better year than any of martell’s year is good with me
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
900k difference in the starting year
Difference is that Martell goes unguaranteed when we still owe Wesley more than 20 million over 3 years…

Is there a tournament like that for trivia? Who wants to be a millionaire style?
I would totally kill in something like that. Though of course I’m worse if it has a lot of US history or pop culture questions than when it would be about something I’m more familiar with.
Say you're flying cross country.
What airline do you fly, and why?
BRP, this is your question to shine. :)
Tomorrow, that will be me on Alaska Airlines
That’s who I have my miles with, and flying free is awesome.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
Virgin America, Jetblue, US Airways, Southwest are all viable options
Avoid: Delta, United, flying through Philadelphia, flying through Atlanta, flying through NJ or NY if possible :-)
Anecdotally, I've had an abysmal experience with JetBlue
Just awful, enough that we won’t use them anymore.
Southwest is on my iffy list, thanks to their changes to “Act of God”
But thanks for the thoughts, I keep forgetting how much US travel you’ve done.
Also, I think we've both covered the awfulness that is the Atlanta airport. :)
Do you avoid NY due to the crowds or the airports?
I just try not to immigrate there, might be a non-US citizen thing. They are all notoriously crowded and prone to delays, with LGA maybe the worst of them.
Philly’s airport is ugly and has a stupid double-check system for connecting flights. And ATL has probably the best chances to miss your connecting flight.
I've been delayed on the tarmac at LGA. Sat there for an hour, staring at the terminals from the window.
Interesting on Philly, good to know.
I didn’t miss a connection at ATL… I just had to spend a few hours there. I think they forgot to clean it that month.
I don't really have preferences, but in general I think I just like smaller airports
Or at least ones that are modern or got renovated to cut down on walking around, got nice new shops or restaurants, etc.
We've definitely found our airport preferences too.
I don’t mind some of the bigger airports. But LAX, for example, is awful.
I think one of the best airports to pass through is Austin. Good size, some good food options, not too busy.
Portland usually isn’t bad. But I’m not sure if that’s simply because I know it so well. It’s much better than Sea-Tac.
LAX doesn't have much in it
But I’ve always liked flying out of there, because for whatever reason whenever I do it, getting my boarding pass (if I didn’t already print it out) and going through security has been fast fast fast.
#52
I can't remember ever waiting more than 15 minutes at PDX security
Usually less than 5 minutes.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
last time I flew through Portland I remember it taking longer than 15 minutes
although even then it seemed like an eternity because am used to be able to cut in line in Anchorage because of my wife/kids and my frequent flyer status
It might be my luck
I almost always way 15+ minutes, and it feels much longer. I never time it.
At LAX, I haven’t looked through everything, the layout or whatever, but it feels like each major airline has their own security gate instead of everyone being funneled to 2 security points like at PDX. It’s almost always bang zoom and I’m at my gate within minutes.
And then LAX sucks, because there ain’t much there to eat.
I’ve flown out of LAX prolly, I dunno, 15 times. More out of PDX.
When I used to fly to Ithaca, I haaaated US Air.
#52
Because I will avoid them
Going off my memory, I’ve flown Virgin America, Alaska, US Air, Southwest, and I think Delta out of LA. I’ve prolly flown some others but I remember those specifically (I think).
#52
Ohh
I can’t remember if I’ve flown them recently.
Since I ain’t that rich, I usually pick flights by price first, and then worry about the rest after. I may have just been lucky with my experiences, though I can’t deny that LAX has very little in the way of things to look at or goodies to gobble.
#52
That's the sensible thing to do
Since you can’t influence who you sit next to, who is in front of you at the security check, if some crazy guy issues a warning that day, if there is bad weather or a volcano or what have you, there really isn’t that much difference especially on a flight that is under 5-6 hours.
I usually do a combo of price + airline
Normally that was no problem with JetBlue, but it gets more complicated when I look at other airlines.
I’ll still look for the cheapest price, but will also check for what’s slightly more expensive, but from an airline I tend to prefer.
I tend to be willing to pay more for non-stop flights
While you think “hey 3 hours in Chicago isn’t bad”, there usually is very little you can do with that time.
you can drink a lot in 3 hours.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
ha, yeah, I know those bottles.
airport bars are way overpriced, I would not want to spend 3 hours drinking in one, and agree layovers suck. I was just funnin
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
You're right, I forgot to note that
I’ll pay a bit more for a preferred airline and a non-stop flight when possible. But only if the prices aren’t insane of course. One stop is fine then.
can GB and i borrow this for our trip to NZ?

"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
it hurt my feelings being yelled at
:-( I’m sensitive to loud noises.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
Anecdotally you can have bad experiences with any airline I guess
Those are some that usually score high in traveler magazines for arriving on time and doing as promised. SW would be more of a low-cost option, not my business choice. There are also some good regional ones (and terrible ones).
I know that the guy who founded Jetblue had a really good business strategy which seems to be rare these days in the airline industry, and learned a lot from SW.
JetBlue blew our connection and left us to dry with no support.
Not even an apology, just a “why are you bothering us? too bad for you that we told you this would connect, figure out replacement plans on your own, and we won’t refund all your fees”.
One of my worst airport experiences turned into one of the more interesting ones
The airline (European regional, affiliated with Star Alliance) couldn’t get their pilots in from a connecting flight due to bad weather, so they had a plane but no pilots. After a couple of hours and at about 1 am, they sent us in a bus to another airport about 50 miles away where they had a plane and pilots.
The good thing about the trip: I was stuck with my boss, a very good consultant, a top management engineer, and our head of portfolio management who also happened to be a nice French lady. I heard some very interesting company stories that I would never have learned otherwise in a million years.
Getting stuck with high-up employees can be a lot of fun. Especially if you stop for drinks.
It’s interesting to see how the airline handled your situation. There will always be flight problems, so I’m usually interested in how airlines deal with such problems. I had a similar situation with Northwest Air. They ignored us, to the point that we ordered pizza, delivered directly to the security at the airport (it was a small airport with no food options). The security brought it to us. NWA eventually got me halfway to the destination, got me a hotel and a cab, and connecting flight early the next morning.
Alaska had a similar problem once. They were apologetic, and gave everyone vouchers for free food at the airport since we’d be stuck there through dinner. They got us to the destination that night, even though they had to pay a fine for flying past that airport’s curfew.
JetBlue sent us to multiple terminals for 45 minutes (because our “flight is waiting”), then told us to leave them alone, and we were on our own to book a replacement flight (“we don’t have reciprocal agreements with other airlines”) or find a hotel, with no help from them.
Let’s just say that the guy you know is probably glad I didn’t know him that night.

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
US Air is usually one of the worst-rated ones out there.
I didn’t have a pleasurable flight either. I stick with Alaska, Virgin, Jetblue, and Continental for domestics and stay away from SW (don’t like not having a seat assigned), Delta, United, US Air.
Of course, foreign > domestic.

my rankings:
Alaska if i’m going to Jersey since it has wireless…and it’s cheap to upgrade to first class. i think others have wireless but this is only one that plan to have it on all their airplanes by fall…and it’s free
JetBlue (directv is nice and extra legroom for my short body is nice…the suckiness of jetblue is flying back west. They are a tier 3 airline so if a runway is down or busy, they get bumped behind continental, delta, american, etc i don’t recall ever getting on a jetblue flight back to pdx that wasn’t delay…it’s 5 times in 6 months that the delay were about 2-5 hours)
Delta if it’s a direct flight…i think they use a bigger plane, maybe a 747…and usually on time with directs. service is great
Southwest (i like them because they are on time and easy to get good seats from online checkin)

What do people here think about Aroldis Chapman
Fascinating story but looks like he might not get to be a starter at the highest level.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
i’m curious to see how he develops and what he does when he gets here. he won’t be the first cuban to defect and be a good pitcher. Livan Hernandez and El Duque being the best probably. but they weren’t as young, i don’t think, as Chapman.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
i hadn’t heard that plan.
i can see why. a guy with a super dominant pitch can make a great closer. and if he cant’ throw anything else all that well, then it sorta makes sense. but yeah, it would be best to try to make him a starter first.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
yeah— if his secondary stuff turns out to be sucky and they don’t think they can make him a good starter, then I get it, but it seems way too early to give up on him starting.
If they are bringing him up as a reliever to help now— a la the Rays with David Price a couple years ago— and planning to have him return to starting next year, I’d get that.
oh good point with Price.
which brings this awesome scenario in play:
they bring up Chapman for the playoffs and he pulls a 2002 KRod. that would be so sweet. i love stuff like that in baseball: the guy that just shows up and blows people away. KRod was so fun to watch in that playoffs
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
hahaha
yeah good point. but as an objective baseball fan, that was awesome. you gotta admit that.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
good call.
i regret not getting him in fantasy when i had the chance. after that WS i knew he was gonna be good.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
we just do 4 keepers. i think wainwright was a keeper last year and will continue to be.
my keepers this year will be Halladay, Josh Johnson, and then some combination of D. Wright, P. Fielder, J. Morneau, Tulo, maybe Brian Wilson (saves are ridiculously overimportant in our league)
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
it’s only an 8 team league so every team is pretty stacked.
i always draft pretty well, but then still dont’ win. guys get hurt or i have people that don’t perform up to usual. this year it seems to be that i’m gonna lose because other teams found the diamond in the rough types, like Carlos Gonzalez.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
its strange— I’m in 2 leagues… both 12 team head to head leagues. In one of them I almost always make the playoffs and have finished in the top 3 three years in a row and in the other I’m about to miss the playoffs for the 3rd of 4th year in a row… and the league I always do well in has the more knowledgeable GMs in my opinion. Just fluky I think but its funny.
the same 2 guys have finished 1-2 in our league the last 3 or 4 years in a row. one of them cause he’s a really good manager and the other one cause he seems to luck in to players. like Greinke last year. but this year that guy isn’t doing as well.

I think so too
Just reading about his progress and he was mentioned on ESPN as being really wild. All the noises were that he might be a relief/closer with one dominant pitch rather than someone who can throw 3 pitches consistently.

The gags are just, I dunno, worn out and simple maybe? And the one-liners are really bland.

i don’t even know what to say right now.
as far as sitcoms go, its on top.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I think it’s aged really poorly. I’ve watched probably 80-90% of the episodes. The Simpsons is easily the better 90’s comedy.
wow.
i think the only thing that’s aged with Seinfeld is the fashion aspects. the humor is still relevant, on point, and extremely funny.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
There have been reports that the show Seinfeld is having trouble getting college students interested
They find it irrelevant and dated now. The production company even sends out Seinfeld video tours to some colleges, but the kids aren’t interested.
They also remastered it in HD recently, since that was a hindrance.
i can’t say i’m surprised.
that is sad though.

i'm a college aged kid
I love Seinfeld, easily one of my favorite shows of all time.
Garden Variety Internet Denizen. Play Jerryd Bayless.
WORD UP.STAY.FRESCO
To be fair
I find most sitcoms pretty lame. I loved Arrested Development, enjoy the more recent South Parks, Simpsons is timeless, liked Strangers with Candy… other than that? Meh.
yeah. there aren’t a lot of good sitcoms right now. Modern Family is clearly the best happening right now i think. 30 Rock as well, although i hear that went downhill this season.
AD and The Office UK are probably the two greatest sitcoms to happen after Seinfeld stopped. i also find most sitcoms these days very sub-par.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Community is my favorite current sitcom
I gotta check out Modern Family though.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
i watched a couple episodes of Community and enjoyed it. i will watch more when i have a chance. Modern Family is great. if it can keep up the level of writing it had in season 1, i believe it could be one of the great family comedies.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I just watched the one where Jay killed Manny's turtle

Manny is hilarious. maybe my second favorite character after Cam.

Oh yeah. ....I like Manny ...his deadpan is perfect
The Christmas episode cracked me up
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"’
it’s the seemingly throw away stuff too, like right at the end of the scenes. in one of them, right before the cut, he goes, “do i have time for a steam?”
the one where he makes fun of Mitchell is great too.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I joined late
but I think I have caught up on all the episodes….Great show
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"’
Modern Faimly is a million times better than Community.
I’m also disappointed Parks and Rec is just a mid-season replacement next year, as I find it better than Community by a longshot.
I strongly disagree but w/e
the problem with parks and rec is that it was horrible early on and killed any chance of having a big fanbase. It got considerably better as it progressed and became it’s own show, but it was probably too late for most casual fans, therefore mid-season
by HD on Aug 4, 2010 10:10 PM PDT up reply actions
We tuned out of P/R after 3 episodes and haven't given it another shot.
We did the same with The Office (two episodes there), but eventually gave it another shot. We’ll probably do the same if P/R stays good.
The Office slowly built into NBC’s biggest comedy. If P/R actually has a long period of good quality writing, and NBC handles promotion and time placement well, it’s got a chance.
We'll add Community as a Season Pass next season
We got distracted from it during Season 1, but enjoyed repeats.
I enjoy modern family(although not as much as community obviously)
but I’m starting to feel like ever since the office introduced the whole talking heads style other sitcoms have been using it as an easy way out to make jokes. Instead of going through the effort to work the joke into the script they just use the talking heads.

I liked Seinfeld when it was on the air (like I said, I’ve watched prolly 90% if not all the episodes). But I just find myself really bored and unamused when I catch reruns
Dunno if it was in the JD, on Twitter or elsewhere
but I heard someone say that 90% of the gags on Seinfeld are irrelevant now that cellphones are common. All the just missing people when they were supposed to meet, not being able to get in touch etc is pretty much non existent now.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
i can’t think of a ton of episodes where those were the key jokes.
the theater one where they can’t find each other is the only one that really stands out.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Oh, I don't know if that right
I just remember that I heard it. I’ve only seen probably about 10-15 episodes of Seinfeld in my life. I like it though.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
i’ve seen every episode of Seinfeld.
i don’t think the advent of the cell phone ruins anywhere near 90% of the series.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Sounds like a cop-out
Younger people just find it lame, and those who don’t find it lame want to know why…so, of course, blame cell-phones.
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???

yeah. i don’t understand the cell phone thing. like i said, the episode where they try to meet up for the movie probably doesn’t hold up if they have cell phones, but other than that, i can’t think of one.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I'll bow to your superior knowledge of the show
I do think the current younger generation don’t get alot of the humour in Seinfeld because society and social interaction has changed so much since then that what made the show funny doesn’t really translate.
| MC2PDX | Horf2PDX | Cho4GM | Griff4AGM | JVG4HC | 1/5
i often wonder if there is any correlation between how sped up the world has got and the younger generations interaction with quality television.
would they even still find The Simpsons funny or is that mostly carryover audience? how would they react to The Cosby Show?
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Maybe that's it, communication has changed society
But there are a lot of shows from back then that younger people still find funny, so I dunno
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
i don’t know either.
it’d be interesting to show younger people old shows like I Love Lucy, Cheers, MASH, All in the Family, Cosby Show and see what the reaction is compared to something like Family Guy.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
IMO, Lucy, the Munsters, and Cheers are in the top 10
shows of all time. Cosby Show as well probably. Seinfeld, though, just doesn’t do it. MASH is ok, but I know younger people who love. In fact, most I know think it’s one of the greatest.
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
Munsters? that’s interesting.
hmmm top 10, without thinking too much and in no order:
Lucy, All in the Family, MASH, Cheers, Cosby, Seinfeld, AD, The Office (UK), Andy Griffith, and i’ll say The Wonder Years cause i love it so much and can’t think of anything else.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Soprano's is bomb
but not comedy, which seems to be the trend here.
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
that's what I thought, too.
I must have just gotten lost in the conversation, cause I thought you said those shows would be in your top ten shows, didn’t realize it was sitcoms.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
i was just doing sitcoms.
if it was all shows the list would be vastly vastly different. so much so that the only sitcoms would probably be one of Seinfeld and The Office (UK). i go back and forth with those.
and instead of Wonder Years i realized that should be The Simpsons.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
One excellent sitcom has been left out here

It would also be interesting to see
how the Seinfeld generation rates shows like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and other shows that seem to have a bit of a college-cult following
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
i’m watching Always Sunny right now.

It could be because you prefer the classic sitcom format
Which Cheers followed closely. Seinfeld seemed to “click” with some people more than others.
Cheers (and Fraiser, by proxy)
Moonlighting (yes, I’m old enough to remember), Home Improvement, Roseanne, Wonder Years…. these are sitcoms I loved
Blazers win!
I don't remember Moonlighting
and didn’t like Roseanne, but the others are primo picks. I didn’t use to like Fraiser, but once I got to college I finally “got it,” it just took some maturation on my part.

I hated Home Improvement so much
But I ain’t really into sitcoms, at all. Hate the patterns and re-used gags.
Seinfeld is ah’ight, it’s funny but I can’t say I’d turn to it if I see it on the guide. It’s definitely one of the best sitcommy shows.

I was going to ask that the other day
How some of the younger folks handle sitcom storylines that break down with the advent of the cell phone. For someone who grew up recently, I imagine the concept of not being reachable, or not having the world’s information at your fingertips, is very foreign.
I love the show. It was on at 2200, which was my bedtime in elementary school, so I would watch EVERY night.
Watching it now makes me feel nostalgic.

for sure in the running.
faded pretty bad though from what i’ve heard. i admit i haven’t seen a whole lot of MASH though.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
i agree. although that was another show that faded.
up until Diane left it was just flat out great. then post-Diane it was still a good sitcom. i like Cheers quite a bit.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
All Sit-coms are cyclical
Long running ones
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"’
yeah. i think the key to great sitcoms is knowing when to stop. that’s one of the things i really appreciated about Seinfeld: even though it hurt when it stopped, it left on top and never really faded that far.
it’s also why, in a weird way, i’m glad AD got cancelled. that show could have easily had a large drop off in future seasons.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
However ....long running shows have this sweet spot
When the characters are fully developed….and half the humor is derived from just knowing how the characters are going to act ….that is when, if you have some good ideas left, you get the best out of a sit-com.
BTW I loved My Name is Earl
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"’
again, i agree completely.
i never kept up much with Earl. i saw the first few episodes and loved them but didn’t keep watching for some reason. it hink it was on the same time as another show i liked more.

My Name is Earl's Season One is really great
I mean, just amazing considering they were establishing the characters.
It started to drop noticeably in Season 2, then collapsed under poor writing in Season 3. In Season 4, they tried to return to the style of Season 1, but it was too late, everyone had tuned out.
NBC, yet again, did not give them a chance to close the show out properly either.
NBC sucks. it’s amazing how much they’ve ruined themselves with poor decisions. i think they’re mostly lucky that Tina Fey worked for SNL.

I actually prefer the middle to later seasons the most, since Captain ...
Honeycutt, Colonel Potter, and Major Winchester were more well-rounded and human than the original characters. I, too, liked the serious nature of the later episodes versus the slapstick comedy from the first few seasons.

I also like the Alda era. It gets a bad rap, but I think it was good.

I'm referring to the Alda era where he was writing and directing the shows,
as opposed to just starring in them.

Yeah the later seasons Alda had a bigger role in the
story and production of the episodes. These later seasons were more drama oriented and slightly heavy handed, with anti-war sentiment, and less about comedy. MASH fans are slightly divided as to whether the Alda era sucks or not. I like it, but probably not as much as the earlier era with Trapper and Henry.

Are the “Soup Nazi” episode, and the one where George’s new car lot is loaning out the cars for prostitution
Blazers win!
oh man….
those aren’t even the best episodes.
you haven’t seen The Boyfriend? or the one where George does the opposite? or The Contest!? so many other great ones. just watch all of season 4. season 4 of Seinfeld is one of the greatest seasons of any tv show ever. so consistently hilarious.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
There are very few episodes of Seinfeld that I find drop-down funny
But the one where George does the opposite is one of them.

animated shows got to stick together.
Seinfeld > Simpsons
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
haha
Cartoon Wars was great. they nailed Family Guy perfectly.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I'm not a big Family Guy fan anymore
But you could do the same episode about South Park, just with different crutches the writers use.
But South Park got off the crutches and found the current events crutch
Family Guy’s jokes literally don’t make sense, and that’s what makes it amusing…for a while. South Park’s schtick got old after the 7th or 8th season; kinda sucked, with the occasional stroke of genius, for a little bit; then found something fresh. I mean, you could joke about how they always find a way to vaguely incorporate libertarian ideals into the moral of the story, but even that is broad enough to unify it without getting stale.
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
I can't think of a show that can't be parodied
and that didn’t rely on plot devices/mechanisms. The Wire, the Sopranos, The Simpsons, Mad Men… I can think of things to parody in any long running show.
Yeah, that's what makes episodes and seasons
feel like part of a whole. You still have to have some themes. It wouldn’t be funny if South Park turned “the boys” into the cast of Entourage for a season trying to copycat, but it would be funny for an episode if it were a parody, because that’s what South Park does. It would get old if they did that all the time, though.
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
The Simpsons has also revolved almost completely around current events and current pop culture references as well.
i do agree with you on the quality of South Park going downhill around those seasons though.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
12, 13, 14 haven’t been that great.
season 10 was awesome i thought.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
Cartoon Wars, Warcraft, and i can’t remember the other ones, but there were 4 or 5 all timers i thought.
and season 11 had Imaginationland which might be the best thing SP has ever produced.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
what are you favorite episodes?
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
After reading through the episode guide, it may take a while
Lots of favorites, though I didn’t see much of season 11.
i’m sure if i looked through episode guides i could point out several that i would say i love also.
"My love winks, she does not bother / She knows too much to argue or to judge"
I'd be pasting titles from most of the first three seasons
And plenty from 4-7, though it got more hit and miss. Casa Bonita is a personal favorite.
There are definitely some that I enjoy from recent years. This past season, I really enjoyed the Tiger Woods episode, 200, 201, and You Have 0 Friends. It was the best ratio of good to bad in a half season in a while.
I've been a fan of 12, 13, and 14, but they're different
I do hate the pan flute/guinea pig episodes though. But I agree on season 10. And I don’t think 7, 8, and 9 were bad, just not great like the rest of the show.
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
Oh, and in reference to point on the Simpsons
I think that reliance on current pop culture references is what has allowed the Simpsons and South Park to have some staying power, because it always seems fresh, to a certain degree.
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
I liked the last three seasons
I loved the Tiger Woods episode, though the Jimmy goes to camp/Intervention episode might be the worst the show has ever done.
Yeah, that one was bad
But that’s what makes Towlie the worst character ever. He ruins (or almost ruins) every episode he’s in.
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
yeah that camp one was pretty lame. although i do remember having at least one good laugh, though i can’t remember what it was.

uh….no. i’m not sure anymore.

it's the one thing i know anything about!
One thing that bugs me about us liberal states is that a person can injure their spouse and profit from it. Example: Husband driving, wife is front passenger, husband runs off the road and his wife’s leg gets broken. She can make a pain and suffering claim against her own husband, since it was his fault. However, since it’s a community property state, her money is his money, ergo he makes money off his own dumb mistake.
More conservative states, California included, don’t allow this.

I'm ok if they don't ship locally, I'd just like to know if I'm wasting my time driving over
Since many stores are very hard to reach on the phone to check if an item is in stock.
There are a bunch of local stores that have that problem here. As a secondary thing, I’m still surprised when a store web site doesn’t have a pick-up in person option. Even the ever-slow Frys.com has an inventory and pickup option now.
That I can understand
I did my best to make sure I always was near a phone or had the cordless with me so phone customers could get the info they needed. The cordless was great for if I needed to travel farther than the 20-second park option would allow

I’m an avid disc golfer, and there are a lot of online disc vendors. Disc models come in a variety of weights and colors. It used to be that you would get to select a weight range (say 168-170 grams) and a color range (say dark or light). You never knew what you were actually going to get. Then the site discgolfcenter came along. It’s worth checking out just to see a really good example of inventory can look like.

I don’t see what all the fuss was about, and the book of course is better, but by no means is it a poor film.

I’ve seen Theismann’s leg snap so many times…and i get woozy and lightheaded each time.
Ah....that is when I developed a soft spot for LT
The thing I remember the most (other than the gruesomeness) is the way LT jumped outta the pile and screamed for the trainers…it showed his humanity. (this also why I didn’t cut Ariza any slack for taking out Rudy….he basically acted the opposite..total douche).

that sounds about right

Drake and Eminem and even Jay-Z don't really belong in the same sentence
Drake is a product of freaking Nickelodeon. Though Jay-Z and Drake did share a stage in Toronto recently, so I guess they are now all the same junk. And like BRP said, I won’t lose sleep over who is more better or hood or what. They are all basically all rap pop now.
seriously, you are weird about rap. the moment somebody says something derogatory about somebody you like, it must mean that they like lil wayne, rick ross, flo rida, etc. right?
it’s like somebody saying they aren’t a huge fan of nic’s game, and then somebody flies in and calls him (or her) a laker fan
lol
the only person ive argued with about rap and liking lil wayne is ark and he admitted it
As-Salaam Alaikum
my point still stands. you could go ahead and insert any rapper you think sucks.
it’s like if jake said he hates lamarcus’ game, and roybot came in and told him he must really like jeff green then. or something
yeah i wasnt disagreeing
its just that most people i know listen to that garbage then if i say something about nas or somethin they dont know who it is

well in most cases if you don't like nic you are a l*kers fan

nolan apparently knew about that

Portland lemonade stand runs into health inspectors, needs $120 license to operate
that is really dumb, fo real.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

Its an issue of equal treatment when its at a major event, not so much if its just on a normal street on a normal day.

ehh
it’s a little 7 year old girl charging fifty cents for lemonade. She’s not gonna put anyone out of business.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
So create a special class for a cheaper permit
If its at a major event, fact is you should have to have a permit. Trust me, the government would get slapped with a suit by one of the other vendors if they didn’t, and they’d lose.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Cut the fee to 10 or 25 bucks for anyone under 12
And give them some brochures on cleanliness, maybe provide a dvd for them., and an official badge of completion for the kids, to show them how real world businesses work.
120 bucks? cash grab.
That's my point
Make it $10 and available on the spot or something.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
yeah I get wanting to make people have a permit as a regulation
but to make a little girl cry cause you’re threatening to charge her $500 for not giving you $120 for a permit. There’s very little chance that girl even makes $50.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

there was a barn and a house close to my friends house that my buddy used to use to hide in when pulling pranks. one day we went there to check it out and in the barn there were a few odd things. the oddest was probably the massive pile of gun magazines. Then we went into the house and in the upstairs room there was a room that looked just like this. there was also a terrifying basement but none of us went down there.

Has SB Nation been screwy for anyone else?
I’ve been unable to get on to BE for almost the entire night. Reply’s have slow or not working and it froze on me before.
No fun.

it's been really up and down for me the last couple weeks.
all day Monday the html buttons weren’t showing and were rarely working. And it has been pretty slow here and there.

Its frustrating
I’m in the middle of talking about Wesley Matthews and RDR and I just get cut off. I know I’m done when posting stops working – soon after I get total meltdown!

you're not biking fast enough.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
haha
but for serious, I’m kinda pissed at DS for not leaving enough space in his RDR spoiler. I did the same thing as you and read it before I had a chance to avert my eyes.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
Yeah that sucked
No malicious intent though so I can’t get angry at him – it’ll still be interesting to see how it all happens but it is pretty much the spoiler to end all spoilers. Main character dies. Woohoo.

It looks like Mark "Bankrupt" Brunell is set to make the New York Jets.
Portland native Erik Ainge has drug addiction problems and Kellen Clemens has the stink of the UO Ducks on him, so it makes sense that a legendary UW Husky, Brunell, can step right in as a mentor for Mark “Dirty” Sanchez.
His nickname aint dirty
get it straight son
