Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed

OTFPOTD -- Griffey's new team!

Tiny by andrewgolfsalot on Comment 1062 comments

Well, I'll take a shot at doing one of these.

Ken Griffey Jr. has signed on with a new team.

Economic stimulus package for idiots.

You can still walk around Seattle parks in the buff.

England: less fun every day.

Question for the day.  If you were the captain of a shipping vessel that was operating off the coast of Eastern Africa, how would you best avoid being kidnapped and taken hostage by pirates? 

I mean, how do you commandeer an oil tanker?

A Sesame Street moment. . .
Griffey joined former baseball star Cal Ripken Jr., figure skater Michelle Kwan and actress Fran Drescher as envoys.

Lets see here. . .

White dudes with no sense of time, rhythm, or fashion sense? Check.
Guy who screams random nonsense? Check.
Dude dancing in a furry outfit for no particular reason? Check.
Simulated violence against a woman? Check.
Daft Punk-esque vocal distortion to hide lack of talent? Check.
Screen showing random lyrics in a 1980’s style music video? Check.
White guy holding a bottle of liquor throughout video and even pouring some out for his “homies?” Check.
Four emo pussies who think they are crunk badasses? Check.

I could go on. This may very well be the worst song and video I have seen in years.

That's the classic "worst song ever."

I mean, I don’t think that choice is even slightly controversial.

I still have to laugh at the lyrical excellence that brought us “shootin’ at the walls of heartache, bang bang, I am the warrior.”

Hot damn he’s huge and just destroys defenders.

“Is Oden favoring one leg over the other?”
“He favors dunking on your head, that’s what he favors.”

by joof on Nov 19, 2008 5:25 AM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Eh.

I haven’t seen enough to make a real opinion, but what I have seen doesn’t impress me that much. The guy is a physical freak, no doubt about that. But he isn’t really that talented, basketball-wise. In college if you are a physical freak you can dominate, but in the pros, well they’ll catch onto that and while you might have a few dominant performances, you won’t be dominant over the long run. He is still young and definitely could improve enormously. But he doesn’t have the skills or touch of a young Shaq (I’m talking touch 8 ft and in, not free throw line touch haha). If he works hard and stays healthy though, he could become the next Olajuwon. That’s big if though, cause he has shown a propensity to get hurt already.

by brayden04 on Nov 19, 2008 6:22 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I know very, very little about basketball

but every time I watch Greg Oden play, I think “Wow, he’s Shaq without the skills!” Now, I’m not saying those skills won’t come, but it seems to me that if you planted a tree under the basket it could block the occasional shot and maybe even suck down a rebound or two.

I really, really want Oden to succeed, but I fear that people see “big” and think “god he’s so awesome” when he’s really just “big”. This time next year we’ll know a lot more.

I think Carol Channing should get a gig reading quotes from NBA players.

“We’re sitting here, and I’m supposed to be the franchise player, and we’re talking about practice. I mean listen, we’re sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we’re talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it’s my last but we’re talking about practice man. How silly is that? …
Hey I hear you, it’s funny to me too, hey it’s strange to me too but we’re talking about practice man, we’re not even talking about the game, when it actually matters, we’re talking about practice … How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing?”

Do wine points matter at all?

And/or… do wine raters ever give “low” amounts of points to anything?

by Two Rs and Two Ls on Nov 19, 2008 9:14 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, the way I see it is

Everyone has a different opinion, taste and preference for wines, so a points system is more of a loose guideline to me than a real suggestion. I really just go by wine – good! Or wine – bad! And don’t usually pay attention to the points.

by royalcurve on Nov 19, 2008 9:19 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

They matter in the same way ERA matters

they’re somewhat useful in a sense, but they’re not gospel. As with anything, it’s useful to know the biases of the raters – Robert Parker is famous (infamous) for preferring “big” wines, so any wine that’s not really exploding with fruit will get a lower rating from him than a robust Bordeaux or cab.

I’ve found that Wine Spectator’s ratings are usually pretty solid, and despite the inherent snobbery in that magazine they do a pretty good job of covering inexpensive wines as well.

They're good as general guidelines

but wine is such an individual thing that there’s no way to properly quantify it. I’ve been to a ton of vineyards in the Willamette Valley, if you want opinions on any you’re looking up….

by pdb on Nov 19, 2008 9:25 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

As a marketing project, I'm working on the launch of a new label.

The brothers who are making the wine are second-generation winemakers, and I’m just trying to figure out how you enter a marketplace like the one here in the Willamette Valley that’s pretty well stocked with wineries and vineyards.

by Two Rs and Two Ls on Nov 19, 2008 9:29 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

You don't compete, you niche

There are so many wineries in the area, there’s no sense in doing the traditional “identify your competitors, figure out how to beat them” marketing approach. INstead, you focus on what sets your winery apart – in your one sentence, the two things I’d go with are “brothers” and “second-generation winemakers”.

Focus on the story/history of the winemakers, and tie that story into the wines they’re currently making, and you’ll find a niche.

Anything higher than 91 better be damned good.

Because one person’s 88 could be my 90, and another rater’s 91 can be my 86…

I don’t see many wines that are higher than 91, though, that don’t cost less than $25-30.

Oooh, interesting – a study that might give you more info…

I’ll make a couple copies of their stuff, for you and Robert. You bowling on Friday? I can bring them then. Just need to go get some cd’s

I am not going to make it to bowling

Two Hawks games and this concert bullocksed up my schedule at work.

How's the attendance looking for bowling anyway?

I’m still on the fence about heading south, mostly due to my ongoing illness.

Man do I love midgets.

Myself, RC, Sec 108 and wife

Possibly Kevin, not sure really who else. Nobody has been posting much in the most recent thread, so it’s hard to tell

I'll have to see what Jeanuts thinks, and how I'm feeling by then.

I had a coughing fit last night that kept me up for almost two hours…

Man do I love midgets.

Damn that sucks

Sounds like you got it pretty bad. I always have trouble clearing out after getting sick because of working in a cloud of cigarette smoke for almost 4 years at the bowling alley.

I actually smoke, so that doesn't help.

It feels like I’m THIS close to shaking this thing, but I can’t quite do it…

Man do I love midgets.

That's always how I feel. It just sits in my chest

But I’m 24 and never smoked a cigarette in my life :(

I wish I had access to a sauna, that would help loosen this stuff up.

Either that or I’m going for a long run until I cough up a lung.

Man do I love midgets.

I dread my morning showers when sick or pretending to recover

Because I am constantly coughing things up. It is rotten

That gives me an idea.

I should just let my shower run as hot as it will go, shut the windows in the bathroom and hang out in there for about an hour.

Man do I love midgets.

Not a bad way to do it

Always helped me

I can't stand really hot showers though,

so I’ll just have to sit on the counter or something and enjoy the steam.

Man do I love midgets.

I listed you

I capitalized you because you deserve it

But don't you just hide in the back with your laptop anyway?

Just rig up one of those systems where it talks when somebody tries to open the door (Think Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), and sneak out the back for a few hours. It’ll take you 15 minutes to get to Hillcrest from Issaquah

I'm going to try to be there.

Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.

Cool.

If not, I’ll still come by and drop off the CD’s at some point then

So the Wakamatsu presser's at 1.30

which I guess qualifies as news. I’m still hoping Carol Channing will show up to narrate.

Weeeeeeee!

It’s awesome, and I’m excited to see everybody’s avatars now. The friends list isn’t as fun with silhouettes for everybody

Yeah, just keep it

The avatar is used on the friends list on the main dashboard, because of the way it is set up. Gamerpictures are used in the guide. Just don’t use your avatar as your GP and all is well
