Jumbled Junk 9/8/10-- Fall Edition

PrintIt seems to be happening earlier than usual this year, but the weather is telling us that summer is almost over. With this in mind, let's take a minute to reflect on this summer. What is it about summer you like the most? Was there anything about this summer that made it noticeably different than other summers? Do you even like summer, or is it just time to kill between Blazer seasons? Are there questions you desperately want to answer that I didn't ask?
To supplement the poll, some seasonal music:

Yeah, but being funny .01% of the time doesn't make it worth using it several times a day
I know I’m fighting a losing battle here . . .

That's exactly how I feel
There is no joke that is repeated over and over and over that is funny.
But, it’s one easy way for some people to be “funny”… but yeesh. It’s always obvious.
#52
Is ANY joke funny after you've heard it more than a half dozen times?
At best, it’s mildly amusing. But funny, no.

PRETTY MUCH no joke
I would like to hear the exceptions though.
I hate hate hate when people just repeat the same thing.
#52
I also tend to hate when people quote popular movies.
But, like with anything, there are exceptions.
Anything OVERUSED, I guess…
#52
It depends on the quote and the audience.
For example, if I turn to my wife and whisper, “I’m not hearing a noooooo….”, she’ll giggle for a minute. Sure, it’s a TV reference, but I know my audience. :)
But someone who spends all day quoting Dumb and Dumber, or Big Lebowski? Different story.
flagged for hating on The Big Lebowski

there are some simple jokes that get me every time
like "two muffins are sitting in an oven. one says to the other “its hot in here.” the other one says “hey look, a talking muffin.”
I just chuckled typing that.
I’m easily amused though.
Every once in a while, sure
But is it funny after seeing the joke maybe 20 times over 10 hours?
Maybe.

Yeah, exactly
It’s usually the most obvious thing in the world, is the problem, and USUALLY obvious ain’t funny.

Problem is its never unexpected anymore
Half the time its used cos the comment intentionally led into it, half the time its forced and is supposed to be funny cos its a meme, the rest of the time it is original and unexpected…..

I completely disagree
I don’t believe I’ve ever, not even once said twss.
Unless twss of course.
But no, not on this site, haven’t said it.
that must make me special :)
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
I don’t think I’ve ever heard you say it either.

Part of why I try not to really make it a big deal
Is that I do think many people do enjoy it, even when it’s super obvious.
Just cause I don’t like it, don’t mean others don’t enjoy it lots. Some people enjoy the familiarity of a joke. I tend to not.
#52
I think it might be a vocal minority who actually enjoy it at this point
Thats just a theory though.

Some repeated personal jokes, or inside jokes, can work.

It ain’t like it really bugs me, I just don’t think it is funny 99.99999% of da’ time.
But by all means, twss your brains out!

My vote by order of preference:
1. Eliminate both.
B. I actually don’t care either way. I don’t really say either. You win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Well, I would too, because someone says "first" and it's over
I don’t like either one… but soooooo many people seem to like the “twss”, that it’s kinda something I’ve just grown to ignore.

I'm annoyed at myself that I've apparently used the "deliberately obtuse" line 4 times over the YEARS
That is too many times for a joke.
TWSS is just endless.
But… people like it. So… I live with it. FIRST adds nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing.
#52
"Deliberately obtuse" applies so often on this site it's not even funny
I’m glad you busted it out
z
I use it because it amuses me, not to amuse you… or anyone for that matter. it’s a way to point out that the statement taken out of context is funny in my head. I don’t like First, but I ignore it, and outside of the conversation rules on the site set by Dave, I am generally against additional censorship on principle. Also, creating new rules for the JD makes us seem even Clique-ier

it is one of those things. you are either for or against, and unlikely to change sides
gun control
abortion
stem cell
gay marriage

If Obama is smart, he’ll start cooking it into his next campaign.
conservatives would probably assume she's not married and plans to partially birth abort the child it will create while she's saying it
so the liberal position supports TWSS jokes.

Thanks
Have you read The Secret Life of Plants? I haven’t finished it but it’s one of the most interesting books I’ve ever read
z
Yup
A documentary. It was pretty cool, although I just saw bits of it.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
I was borrowing it from a friend
But I moved before I finished so I had to return it. Probably worth getting my library card to finish it
z
Might as well have a library card
What else are you going to be doing out where you live?
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
For now I'm catching up on the backlog of books I built up in Portland
But as soon as I do that, library here I come

whatcha reading now?
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
I'm working on Guns, Germs, & Steel
But decided to take a break for some fiction. I just cranked out a quarter of “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest,” I think it’s going to be the best of the series
z
oh, nice.
I remember talking to you about Guns, Germs, and Steel now. And I read about 80 pages of “…Hornet’s Nest” and then put it on hold to read the JD book club book and then got distracted with other books. I’ll go back to it real soon though.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
I started it tonight
And im on 125 or something. I read that guy’s books faster than anyone else for some crazy reason. Probably because they’re super engrossing and I know they’re gonna take me a while
z
yeah I read them super fast too.
I read those 80 pages in one sitting. He has a really fast paced writing style with very intense story lines. They are made to be read quickly.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
The last week I was in Portland
I was on homeless vacation, and I read almost all the 2nd book in one day with a six pack of lagunitas at skidmore park

By the way Momomoses, did you see the compliment I payed to your Boise State Broncos in the last junk?

indeed i did
I tried to respond but my computers been acting wonky all day. We’re a well-coached, veteran team and it showed yesterday. We honestly looked better than I dared to hope. I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if vt ended up winning the ACC this year, they were a really good team and they won’t play that sloppy twice
z
Yeah Boise State looked like a true elite team. They're offense is relentless.
Good for you that they don’t face my Huskers this year :)

Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn’t, it is of no use.

It’s really about what you do with your feelings
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
I feel like this applies to nearly all aspects of life.
heeeyyyyyyy so dnrkhgu gotta go pl hdei and skeieek
of course it does
I believe it is central to everything else we do
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
Me too
Actually, I know several people who had a difficult yesterday. I think it was my fault. Sorry. How are you today?
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
About the same. I always have a tough time with the transitions between school and not-school, plus I remembered that being in an actual relationship with someone is kinda nice. I hope that you’re doing better as well.
heeeyyyyyyy so dnrkhgu gotta go pl hdei and skeieek
I had a more productive today than I thought possible.
Which was good. And I am being reminded of how many people have relationship drama. Two weeks ago I knew four couples getting married. Now, two of them are married; two are putting it off/canceling it. Plus, family married nearly 20 years are getting divorced.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
Marriage is a big commitment. I can’t imagine myself being in those shoes.
heeeyyyyyyy so dnrkhgu gotta go pl hdei and skeieek

It's cool that you've got your thing figured out.
And that you followed your interests. I have no idea what I’m gonna be doing after I’m done with school.
I thought we'd put in it glass.
I’m tired of it burning my lip.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
good idea.
I’ll take glass over paper 100 out of 100 times.

I'd only go with 99 out of 100 times there
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
okay, probably true.
there are some occasions where glass isn’t practical (plus, you are the expert on these things).
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
Do blunts count as paper?
I need a ruling from the committee on this one.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
good
I’ll stick with 99 out of a 100 times on paper over glass although practicality might intervene on those occasions. Additionally, blunts are important and shouldn’t be neglected because they are part of our roots. Well, maybe not ‘our roots’, but they look cool, hit like dynomite, and people way cooler than any of us sing songs about them.

Acclimation to a temperate doesn't profoundly change who we are or are ability to acclimate in the future.
We can adapt to a lot of things but many of those adaptations impact us and cannot be reversed later on.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
I disagree. I think one of the things that makes us human is our ability to adapt to tragedy.
The more you are exposed to something, the more you get used to it.
For example, the first dead body I saw on the job I still remember to this day as well as I can remember what I did 10 minutes ago. It is burned in my memory that deeply. But I couldn’t tell you the last one I saw, cuz I’m just so used to it now. It’s just a part of my life.

I don't think the Spanish Inquisition belongs on that list.
Only like 5,000 people died (though it had many horrible effects outside of death). That is like chump change for the middle ages. Some random pogram against child sacrificing Jews that we’ve never heard about that doubles this probably exists.

No one ever talks about the dark ages
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
I’m actually referring to the Renaissance, which is the period of time when most of the Spanish Inquisition occured.
Though worst loss of life per broad event like “The Spanish Inquisition” or “The Black Death” has to go to WWII in straight number of deaths (though when speaking of broad historical events it is difficult to create a true /capita sort of outlook).
In Bayless I trust.

Do you mean that we cannot adjust death toll for inflation?
And I know you were referring to the Renaissance, but no one ever talks about the dark ages.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
Sorry to have misunderstood.
You are correct, but the dark ages were a time of little organization, comparatively. To cause great amounts of death requires large organization and some sort of order to society. The Dark Ages is an antithesis to such a notion, though I’m sure death was frequent. Unless we simply label the Dark Ages an event, I doubt any internal event can keep up with past and future death tolls.
Population inflation is not the issue. I am not referring to “event deaths/world population” because that wouldn’t be an accurate picture of the event in my opinion. I am talking about “event deaths/population in area of event”. Because WWII covered most of the world, its /capita may be smaller than the Black Death, which has an unknown area coverage.
In Bayless I trust.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>
Ah, I get what you mean.
I think I misread what you had written as /capita and started thinking about whether you were suggesting trying to put a value on the lives lost in various tragedies to come up with a ‘bottom line’ solution. But would you think it’d make more sense to go total deaths per capita or deaths proportionate to the total population per capita — assuming you could define an area and a total population.
And, yes, I am sure the dark ages will always remain a mystery but I suppose that it’d be impossible to really get a sense of what kinds of mass death events occurred in a time like that.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
Oh World War 2 absolutely takes the cake in sheer number of deaths.
Nothing else even compares probably. China has had some unbelievable tragedies in their time, and the Mongol invasions are probably up there, but WW2 was like nothing the world has ever seen before.

Also, China's worst tragedies are related to WWII.
The whole WWII is the worst event in history is an interesting policy bender for national leaders.
WWII conditions cannot exist when one nation is the sole superpower in the world.
Therefore, it is in the interest of altruism for the USA to act in an interventionist manner to keep all other nations well below it in all terms of power.
Therefore, American interventionism is driven by altruism based on sound historical understanding.

None of these wars reached WWII conditions.
Even taking into account the much lower world populations…
The Persians preferred to conquer with intent to rule, and thus, under, was it Cyrus?, killed few and sought to administrate. I would agree that they were the sole world superpower.
The Greeks, once powerful enough created a situation where there was not one world power, hence they do not fit the example.
The Romans were a world superpower, but were largely similar to the Persians in terms of conquering to rule. And WWII conditions never really existed under their rule.
The Mongols may prove your point.
The English were dominant under Victoria and avoided all WWII like situations.
The French as a single superpower?
The Spanish also avoided WWII conditions.
So the Mongols, huh? I suppose I’ll have to add an asterisk saying that this synopsis does not include nations whose single fundamental ideal is conquest.

Those are different conditions though
Having a power rise and eventually topple the pre-eminant force is totally different to the global climate in the 1930’s, when Germany, Russia and the UK were established powers and the US was the new kid on the block.

There have been some good books about the decline of empires come out in recent years
A number of those from US authors who kind of started with the question “are we next”?
I’m not sure I’m looking forward to a Chinese-Indian century though, but we’ll see. Or sure that the US will already lose the lead this century, since they have shown determination and will to reform in the past (some reform is inevitable).
I’ve said before that I’ve recently stumbled across an article from 2000 that was too funny in retrospect, kind of like the “age of innocence”. “America leads the world – thank God” was a quote by Charles Krauthammer in it (it was not one of his articles). The potential threat of Islamists is mentioned with a half sentence.

It’s a different situation in both countries. What’s interesting is the inequality is also present in those societies, at least as much as in the US. And China seems to be in a situation where there is a lot of beautiful potential from what I’ve experienced myself and heard and read, but also frightening similarities to e.g. pre-war Japan 100 years ago.

I listened to the first "state of the union" by Baroso this week
That guy is an administrator, not a world leader. The whole EU commission and parliament is structured to keep things bureaucratic, and it’s often not exactly staffed with the best and brightest politicians but those that failed at home or got rewarded for things they did in the past. Though that also has its advantages. Administrators keep things steady and fairly safe. They don’t inspire to great efforts or growth though.

The EU is an utterly fantastic but utterly flawed experiment at present
I would say the EU and US could learn a lot from each other if they weren’t both trying to win the philosophical battle for the hearts and minds of the international community.

Yup. And there are certainly ethical and well-meaning and some smart people toiling along in the EU institutions. But also guys that give me the creeps, like the head of the “socialists” in the parliament who should represent many of my political opinions but is just a guy I would scare little kids with combined with a dull bureaucrat. The liberal leader I think is from the Netherlands and a bit better. The conservative leader is okay too. Then they have some right-wingers who are nuts, and all of them are bureaucrats who love talking about efficiency but can never achieve it when 25+ states have to agree on something.
That the parliament is catering to two states to meet in two cities interchangeably is just one symptom of inefficiency. It’s amazing how many meetings some politicians miss.

Yes, 9/11 was bad. Yes, Katrina was bad. But our tragedies pail in comparison to real national horrors like the rape of nanking, sacking of Poland, the Blitz of London, or any other endless unfathomable events in other countries.

It’s about keeping it off.
Most any diet that restricts your calories, or a pill that speeds up your metabolism, will work for the short term.

Oftentimes, diet pills are just a quick fix by removing a few pounds of water weight.
It’s certainly not a long-term solution, as well as unhealthy.
They're all so dumb
They all require you to change your diet and exercise and that’s pretty why you should do anyhow.

Tom, I've tried HCG...twice, as have most of the people in my office
if followed correctly, it results in a ton of weight loss very quickly.
Unfortunately, people that are desperate enough to try it have fat-ass in their blood, and the weight usually comes back within a few months.
I don't know who I am anymore. Not once in life have I been real, but I've never felt this close before. I've been looking in your window, i've been dressing in your clothes. I've been walking dead, watching you long enough to know I can't go on.

Depends on where you get the pork or chicken. I was watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations on the Travel Channel,
and he ate at a street vendor in Asia somewhere ( Korea I think ) selling straight up raw chicken skewers. Tons of people were eating them, and it wasn’t a big deal. Most of the meat in our country comes from houses of horrors where pestilence and filth reign supreme.

I've got nothin' tonight!
I think I’m too tired. If anyone wants to fill in with fun story night, feel free. :)
yeah!
story circle with papa timmay!
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
You guys would wait until the wife is asleep. :)
If she’s awake, she’d be saying “tell them about [insert story here]!”
But right now my mind is totally blank. I’m thinkin. :)
Everyone always finds a way to corner me and ask all kinds of personal questions. :)
They know me, but don’t see me often, and they always have questions, or want to hear stories, or want to know tech question x or y. It’s much more entertaining after 4 glasses of wine. I was still able to walk afterward, happily!
The weird part is that someone brought their kids. For some reason, I’ve had a week straight of doing things that typically have adults around (a nice restaurant, a non-kids-rated movie, etc) but people keep bringing kids anyway. I’ve never figured it out. They aren’t even enjoying themselves, you know? But everyone else there gets the brunt of their unhappiness.
So one couple brings their kids. And 6 of us are talking in a circle, I think the topic was the status of HP after everything that happened recently. So they’re completely engrossed in conversation. And one of the kids walks up into the circle and starts talking. And you know, everyone’s distracted with their own conversation. So the kid explains that he needs to tell everyone something, “and I’m going to talk LOUDER UNTIL EVERYONE LISTENS TO ME” for like two minutes. Finally everyone stops, to let him have the floor, for his big announcement…
“I just want everyone to know that we brought lemonade!”
The Mom looked so embarrassed in the background.
Like Kelso on That 70s Show.
Seriously. It’s hilarious if you haven’t seen it. He suddenly realizes he’s dating somebody’s hot daughter, and freaks out.
Speaking of Sitcoms that didn’t get repetitive until season 6.
yeah i really did try to not like that show when my girlfriend at the time used to watch it back in 2003ish
but it was never as bad as i wanted it to be
That's pretty much what happened here
My wife liked it, I said “ugh ok fine watch it”, and it was always funnier than I expected. Until the last season or two.
Electra complex?

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
This procedure of subjecting the facts of reason to examination, and, if necessary, to disapproval, may be termed the censorship of reason. This censorship must inevitably lead us to doubt regarding all transcendent employment of principles. But this is only the second step in our inquiry. The first step in regard to the subjects of pure reason, and which marks the infancy of that faculty, is dogmatic. The second, which we have just mentioned, is sceptical, and it gives evidence that our judgement has been improved by experience. But a third step, such as can be taken only by fully matured judgment, based on assured principles of proved universality, is now necessary, namely to subject to examination, not the facts of reason, but reason itself, in the whole extent of its powers, and as regards its aptitude for pure a priori modes of knowledge. This is not the censorship but the criticism of reason, whereby not its present bounds but its determinate and necessary limits, not its ignorance in regard to all possible questions of a certain kind, are demonstrated from principles, and not merely arrived at by way of conjecture. Thus scepticism is a resting place for reason, in which it may reflect on its dogmatical wanderings and gain some knowledge of the region in which it happens to be, that it may pursue its way with greater certainty; but it cannot be its permanent dwelling-place. It must take up its abode only in the region of complete certitude, whether this relates to the cognition of objects themselves, or to the limits which bound all our cognition.

Water, rest, and time.
To suppress a cough is to delay it’s goal. A cough is your body trying to remove foreign bodies from your lungs. Don’t fight it, just cough it up. Cough drops can dull the harshness in your throat.
If you need a cough suppressant to sleep, opiates are the most effective medications. Over the counter meds like robitussin have some effectiveness also.

of course tom loves "better off dead"
i like sleepaway camp II, flight of the navigator, ummmmm, time for a drink for real
Flight of the Navigator is quality kids entertainment
Better off Dead is entertainment for all ages.
“Tentacles. You meant tentacles. Big difference.”
I saw Flight of the Navigator with a double feature of SPACE CAMP
Was awesome back then.
I think both are super boring now.
#52
I haven't seen Flight of the Navigator in a while
I saw it a while back, and found I laughed at the same things I enjoyed as a kid. Although this time I didn’t see Sarah Jessica Parker as “that girl from Square Pegs”.
I'm either too hard on movies I liked as a kid
Or I grow to love them more as I age, like with Ghostbusters or The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
#52
I never know what I'll like more or less than I did as a kid.
I found I was really bored of Breakfast Club recently. It still has funny moments, but it doesn’t really hit me anymore. On the other hand, Ghostbusters and Back to the Future are both still genius.
Hmmm. It may be time for an 80s movie marathon.
Yeah, BTTF is great still
I still like The Neverending Story as well.
Karate Kid, Red Dawn, Teen Wolf, all are much less gooder to me now.
#52
I was surprised how much I still loved Karate Kid
I did not like 3 Ninjas at all though, and I really loved that one as a kid.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
I never did see Red Dawn, funny enough.
Though I hear they’re doing a remake.
There are random 80’s movies that just snuck by me for various reasons. We rarely made it to the theater when I was a kid, and it was normally for a double-feature at a cheap theater (such as the Flight of the Navigator and Space Camp thing). So I didn’t always see the movies “everyone” saw. I saw The Goonies for the first time last year, for example.
I didn't see Kindergarten Cop until.... hmmmm, 2003?
Yep, the movies I saw vs movies I missed are really random.
I absolutely cannot resist it
It’s very dated, but everyone is clearly having a great time through the movie, and the fun is infectious. Jackie Gleason steals the movie. I didn’t see the movie for 15 years, then rediscovered it and really enjoyed it.
If it was on instant view, I’d be telling you to go watch it, you just have to sit through one really awful romance scene near the end.
yah
the movie that I’ve previously confessed my love for: Science of Sleep.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
there's this theme in it
that appears towards the end, where the main character says this wonderful and beautiful thing to the love interest and it resonated with me so strongly and is so perfectly relateable for me that the movie was instantly placed into favorite film categorization.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

Yeah I had to get braces as an adult too to widen it a bit and get one tooth in line since I didn’t do that as a teenager. And I got one veneer in the last few years that covers a broken very small tooth that I had. It’s funny since it never bothered me, but when I now look at old photos I notice it of course.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban

"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
American Beauty? I suppose only BRP would list Kung Fu Panda which I also can watch over and over again.
There are a lot of movies I like that other people might find dumb, but they are hardly my favorites. I e.g. can be amused by “chick flicks” if they are made well, like “Bride Wars” or “Confessions of a Shopaholic” or “Bridges of Madison County”
I don’t want to list European films since those would just be rare

I don't have a favorite movie.

oooo Tankgirl!
I bet my ex would categorize it the same way. She loved that when she was younger and I remember when I saw it for the first time (with her) and I remember liking it too. But I haven’t seen it since.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
Ocean's 11 is a favorite of mine
I could watch it again and again (and I have!) But I figured it was too close to the beaten path to fit your description

Sadly, I also would call it one of my favs.
I will run naked through the streets if Oden wins the MVP this season...happily.

do you mean old war movies (e.g., 300) or old, war movies (e.g., 13 Rue Madeleine)? Or possibly even old, old war movies (e.g., The Lives of a Bengal Lancer)?

I love Lawrence of Arabia
I’m always down to watch it.
Ya know… I wasn’t crazy about KWAI, though. It just didn’t catch me.
#52
Ooo, yes.....
You didn’t by chance see it on the big screen when they re-released it in 1989, did you?
Amazing to see it on a huge screen and to hear the re-mastered sound….
No, I was too young to be into it prolly :-(
I don’t remember it being released.
I did see it in theaters somewhere in Portland, and it had the intermission and the lead-up music and all that… it was cool. It didn’t seem like a super duper nice print, though.
Plus I’ve watched my DVD a lot.
#52
I saw it as an adult somewhere
I was too young for the 1989 RE-RELEASE… I mean, I coulda’ gone, but I wasn’t cool enough yet to wanna go.

Desperado.
I was going to say Bloodsport, but I am sure someone likes it as well.

Some folks dismiss it 'cause of Ashton Kutcher, but does an awesome job in it.
It’s also got Fulton Reed from The Mighty Ducks, so you know it’s going to be good.

since Timmay! is busy I will tell you a story
When I was living just up the road the guy next door was riding a scooter and spooked some buzzards working a dead deer in the the middle of the road,one of them trying to get airborne did a full projectile hurl on him,he came over to my house and I almost passed out from the stench,I much prefer fresh skunk road kill,buzzard puke is so powerfull that he never really got the smell out of his leathers or bike seat

My sister was pulled up to the road to on the right side and was going to go left. A car coming from her left ran over an already dead armadillo that pretty much popped like a zit and squirted dead armadillo all over her and her friend.

It was truly incredible
I expected it would be awful (its a goddamn dogs in space movie….for kids) but it still totally shocked me with how little effort was put into every single aspect of the thing.
Kinda like how DTL thinks of Avatar.

A little, but he's tired and trusts you to watch him while he sleeps.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
Just two of you
Last survivors, and it could be days before you are found.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
I really don't think Mort could be taken out even if he's tired.
He sleeps with his eyes open, and they follow you while you walk around…
he'd be a supreme boss in a video game level
But he’d also feed you for days. Still, I’d rather work with Mort to find food as a team than try to eat him. But the Cannibal’s Dilemma is that the other might choose the easy route at any time.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
Probably not.
But under the right stimulus I might.
If I was tired, acting under shock, and under the power of suggestion while in a long term environment of brutality, it would be a definite possibility.
In Bayless I trust.

not me.
I’m too selfless to eat someone else for my own good. Mortimer is better for the world than I.

"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
okay I guess that I would eat Mortimer if he lost a lottery
As long as it was fair and justified and he agreed that he could be eaten if he lost the lottery then I would feel okay with eating Mortimer.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
Hehe
He’s great at pushing the envelope. Like when you agree with initial statements like that to make the majority better-off by sacrificing one person, he next asks if then you shouldn’t also raid the organs of a person who came to the hospital to get a shot or an examination to save the lives of 10 people who need a donor. Would it be more moral if the person had agreed to it? Does it matter if you could save a lot more people e.g. by torturing a suspect? And so on. It’s really interesting and spans a lot of hot-button topics, from taxes to property rights to same-sex marriage to military draft and mercenaries to affirmative action. There’s a joke that he was the inspiration for Monty Burns with his looks and completely opposite opinions too.

It would depend on whether I knew anyone on the train
I don’t value the abstract concept of life as much as most people. In fact, losing 100 helps with over-population.
Good news, Morty. You’re safe for this round.

First reviews for "The American" aren't all that great
That’s too bad, I liked the poster and the concept and the star-director pair. But apparently it’s progressing very slow and still isn’t as deliberate as one would hope, and just not a very fun movie. I wonder if the award season will like it though, or what else is coming up in prime Oscars fodder.

Canzano's argument:
Sam, since you can’t guarantee that no one will ever die in an accident again, then spending $600 million on bike lanes is ridiculous, and some of it should have been spent on a stadium for the Beavers.
I do agree that portland politics tends to lean in directions opposite of sports and business, but Canzano was just up to his old bullying tactics.
Good lord they are up in arms over the Beavers leaving. It's funny that they blame the politicians for the loss of the team, when it's the neighborhoods that ultimately put the nail in the coffin.

I love Camby even more now
http://www.kptv.com/sports/24923855/detail.html
Portland Trail Blazers center Marcus Camby helped launch a program Tuesday that will raise money for children with cancer.
The Block Out Cancer program relies on the Blazers to play stellar defense on the court this season. Each time a Blazers player blocks a shot, Genentech will donate $25 to the Children’s Cancer Association.
“So many kids and so many people in the world are suffering from cancer, I’m just happy I’m able to partner with CCA and Genentech and reach back,” said Camby, who has been one of the NBA’s top shot blockers for years.
As a team, the Blazers blocked 329 shots last season.
“Blocked shots and defense are right up my alley,” Camby said. “So, I’m looking forward to getting a lot of blocks and hopefully getting a lot of money donated to cancer research.”

If we only equal the number of blocks we had last season
That’s $8,225 and we’ll do far better than that I think since we had no center for quite a while last year.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
that just doesn’t seem like much money for a huge-mongous company. Also, I worked there years ago. It was a great place to work, primarily because they wasted craploads of money on silly perks. And when I worked there, the economy wasn’t that good, so it wasn’t like they were just caught up in rah rah times. Maybe it’s different now, but I have my doubts.
It seems like a pretty lightweight donation to get a mid-level NBA player to show up at your announcement, that’s for sure.
is there an echo in here?
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
It's certainly cheap publicity.
But they could also have just kept that money in their coffers, period. I’m sure the Children’s Cancer Association will appreciate the funds.
It's $8750. Genentech is very generous.

he's in prison
some prisoners file lawsuits for fun. They get free Westlaw time every day and don’t have much else to do.
Yes, he has filed 1500 handwritten suits over the years driving judges around the country crazy
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Among the people he has sued:
New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and his wife, Silda; the firms Pepper Hamilton and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation; Hooters of America; Norwegian Cruise Lines Inc.; and investment banker Bruce Wasserstein. Riches’ celebrity targets include actors Anne Heche, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones; musicians Cyndi Lauper and Eddie Van Halen; and Braves pitcher Tom Glavine.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Funny thing is that the guy filing the suit is a federal prisoner
But that’s actually not that unusual. One just filed to know how much a party Bush had in 2006 cost during an international summit, and got right. It was about $8 million mainly for security. Now he files to see every bill, since some were blacked out to protect police procedures.

what i meant, everybody, was that GB has tattoos on his butt, but they aren’t of boobies.

no, my mistake
I tried typing while speaking and failed. But yeah, now the whole world knows that DTL has seen my butt tattoos. OH, GREAT

you shouldn’t be embarrassed about them. like i am about my wiener tattoo.
oh….woops.

when it is calm the tattoo reads “tat”…..when it is angry it reads “Tater”…which is sad when you think about it

Ahhhh. Yeah they were a bit older than us, but we were kind of friends and partied sometimes. We played a lot of shows with them.

Friend in high school
told me a story about how he was piss drunk at a luau in Hawaii. The venue had a pool/fountain type thing with a bunch of sea urchin in it. He fell in and got stung all along his back and legs. He passed out and woke up to a bunch of Hawaiian dudes standing in a circle pissing on him.

I saw a drunk pissing downtown last week.
He was peeing on the wall when I walked by. Then he started following me for half a block trying to get 5 bucks.
That is all.

A friend of mine interned in NYC for a summer. He was on lunch break and as he was walking to lunch, he saw a bum squatting in the middle of the street, relieving himself of a giant load of vile smelling diarrhea. My friend just kinda shuddered, held his breath, and walked on. When he was in line to order his food, the same bum walked into the restaurant, went straight up to the counter and asked for some napkins.

The first time I saw people having sex was 2 bums in Central Park
I was in middle school. It was rad.

I have yet to see sex in public
I think I may have caught some oral sexing while I was driving, but one can never be sure

it may have been
I was in HS and not too familiar with Portland, but it was in the Portland area

oh
this was more recently, the girl and i have talked about naming our duo “roadhead” or jewish lovers
Hawaii, big island.
Some random beach you hike to.
Three couples doing it on the beach with distance between each other. The funny thing is that the beach is actually the property of a public middle school and kids go to the beach for nature related classes.
In Bayless I trust.

I saw a live show in Hamburg
It was Vampire themed.
And I’ve seen people at parties.
But nuthin’ out in public. :-(

your black socks and sandals gave you away
PS I would totally pay to see sexy vampires doing it
you know, the opposite of twilight
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
It wasn't that expensive
It was fun to see, but it wasn’t really “sexy”. The performers totally give off the impression that they gotta do it 8 times a day, which they do.
The Hamburg red light district is even bigger than Amsterdam’s, and maybe the biggest in the world (I could be wrong on that part), so there is tons of stuff to see there.

I would run out of money there

And they really do got some babes working in the brothels
Or in the windows.
And they got the union thing, because it’s all legal there.
I’ve never slept with a prostitute that I know of, but it wasn’t cause they wadn’t purty.

I just had to google Wes Mathews
I wasn’t sure if he was a draft pick or the dude from Utah. I don’t think I could list every guy on the roster right now. I can’t remember any of the rookies names.
#52
I'll always hate him but I'm gonna let it go
I rooted for Ruben Patterson so I’m going to root for Miller this year.

I am pretty sure there is at least one jew on the roster
also, a guy who can speak farsi

I don't know what all the numbers on MadBlaze's sig are for
I don’t know the rookies either
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
I figure I'll know them by the time the presesaon starts
If they are still on the roster. I get the two guards confused every time.

Did you watch summer league?
It helped, even though Williams didn’t play.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
I did
but I don’t know their numbers.

Oh, heck
I can’t remember half the players numbers most of the time. I just meant the guys themselves.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
Actually Armon looked pretty good in[I know its just SL] SL
He looks to have good court vision/awareness,dribbles and pass’s pretty good with both hands and certainly gets after it on defense
by southern oregon on Sep 8, 2010 3:01 PM PDT up reply actions
Armon and Babbitt are both Nevada
If there are no other roster changes, it’ll probably be Patty getting the boot.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
What's the point in having them
With utah guy, Bayless, Batum, Miller and Rudy? They should be traded already.
#52
I don't see any of the rooks getting much time this year
We should have a pretty good 10 man roster.

I would rather have Martell than Babbit for sure
by southern oregon on Sep 8, 2010 3:33 PM PDT up reply actions
Martell was awful as a backup
It was time for him to go IMO. Whether Babbit was what we should have moved him for…….not so sure. He could be if he can just come in a knock down threes and has a good defensive unit around him. Maybe.
| #11 | #7 | #9 | #15 | #52 |
Moving Martell was fine as a salary dump (and getting Babbit in the deal was great business), but then going out and adding essentially the same player for three more years and 25 mill more than you owed Marty in the first place was…. confusing.
I suppose the hope is Mathews will be a more consistent resere
Martell needed a steady diet of minutes and shots to play well
z
I don't know about that.
Nic will probably get more minutes this upcoming season and Matthews will be the main backup SF. Martell wouldn’t have much of a role here anyways. Better for him to get an opportunity elsewhere, even if that means Minny…It’s too soon for me to judge Babbitt.
i've heard from thewhitesteve blake
the elliot williams can play, and bascially could be a better version of bayless
They sound pretty similar, both being athletic combo guards.
I was most looking forward to seeing Williams play in summer league, but rest was a good choice.

Yeah, but it's been like almost two years or so since that era. I'd have to believe he's moved on.

I thought tominrehab had a new screenname.
