OFFPOTD 8.21.08: Let's find something to mock besides our team
by Kirsten Schlewitz on Aug 21, 2008 6:56 AM PDT
Email
PrintIt's likely that it's my turn in this unofficial rotation of posting a place where we can hang out and ignore that thing called work.
Today's icebreakers:
♥ Grits: tasty breakfast food or oh goodness why the hell do people eat these?
♥ Is Fay a little bitch or is she just teasing?
♥ Would you rather salsa or meringue with Adrian?
♥ Drive thru daiquiri shops -- stupidest idea ever?
♥ Name that stat -- what does that "t" really stand for, anyway?
♥ What's with the NOLA Bee Horn in the Hornets new uniforms?
♥ Are giant nutria more terrifying than polar bears?
♥ What would your walk to the plate song be?

/BetterOffDead
I actually like raisins and grapes but my wife is convinced that if our dogs eat too many of them, they’ll die of kidney failure so we are a raisin free household (except for the costco trail mix).
I find it amazing that one of our dogs regularly eats dirt, but can’t handle raisins.

And chocolate and onions
I’m not debating the truth. Just surprised that my dog, who will eat his own poop, can’t handle raisins.
And xylitol (sugar free gum sweetener)
Our youngest dog is 18months and almost completely impervious to pain. He’s so ADD that if you call his name while he’s running down the hall, he’ll turn to look, but keep runnning until his head contacts something hard (like a wall). Then he’ll bounce off, lick the wall and wag his tail like “hey, where did that wall come from?”.
That said, there are many, many bad pet owners out there who feed their pets junk all the time. Some animals tolerate it, some don’t. If you own a pet, try to find out what’s ok/not ok to feed it.
That, and teach it sabermetrics so it won’t rely on results based analysis. ;-)
I work for the Poison Center.
Other than chocolate, I had no idea these other things were problems. Very strange.

And the rest of the team has been following suit.
50 walks(including his 11) in the 8 games since he’s joined the club. Before Dunn, they averaged about 3.5 walks a game.SS and all but still.

I'm decidedly against drive through anything that has to do with liquor.
Every time I’ve had to drive to the docks, every diver in the car is shit faced by the time we get there. Then they terrorize the boat crew, the dock workers, break shit, set things on fire. My company has been permanently banned from a dock for a ‘bonfire’ incident. The flames must have been over 130 feet high. That was the height of a dock crane they were shooting above.

I understand that it’s all a matter of personal preference, but when I’m drinking something, I like to appreciate its qualities. I hate it when people call me a pussy for not downing a $10 scotch. When I go out drinking the goal for me is to hang out for a long time with people I like and have a conversation. Sure I’ll get drunk, but if you’re drinking shit like Irish Car Bombs, you’ll be blitzed in 45 minutes. If that’s what you’re going for, cool. But no thanks for me.

Does ucla even have a QB?
How can a school where anyone on this blog could be in the QB mix (including myself) diss Mark Sanchez?
Sanchez would probably be the best ucla QB since at least McNown.
If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.
I just don't think he's all that good
I think Corp is a much better quarterback. I’m also a fan of good running QBs. I’ve never thought that Sanchez was nearly the thrower that Booty was (not even at MV) and I never thought Booty was all that good either. He’s always played with an incredible amount of talent around him and has never had to be “the guy” for his team like Corp has. If you want to see the guy who I think will be a great QB, it’s Barkley next year.
Leinart was a perfect fit for the offense with Chow because of his size and accuracy, and the fact that he had big WRs, which masked his lack of arm strength some because he could just put the ball up on shorter routes and let his guys go get it.
I never said UCLA had a good QB. I’m the one who refers to our “starting” QB as “He who must not be named.” We’ve got an RS FR out of San Diego who can really play though, though I’m not sure how he’s going to gel with Chow’s offense.
by seattlebruin on Aug 21, 2008 3:13 PM PDT up reply actions
I dunno
I went to the scrimmage this past weekend and neither Mustain or Corp inspired much confidence in me. They both seemed kind of noodle armed, Mustain especially.
I think I’d take Corp over Mustain but I’d still rather have Sanchez. I don’t think Sanchez is the second coming of Palmer but with some of our speedier WR we need a guy who can throw it deep.
I do admit to not having the worlds greatest knowledge of CA HS football.
If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.
It's just that Mission Viejo has always had a strong program
(look at all the players they feed into the Pac Ten, especially linemen) which means that Sanchez has never had to be “the guy.” Yeah, it’ll be the same thing this year at usc where he’s surrounded by an unfathomable amount of talent, but unlike in high school he’s not far and away more talented than everyone else. He just hasn’t impressed me in the admittedly limited game action I’ve seen of him.
I forgot you guys had Mustain, but I never thought he was all that good either. I really like Corp’s game, even if his arm strength isn’t all that great.

Whatever you do
don’t order the tripe or tendon stuff. Stick with something a little more normal for your first time out.
The best place I’ve eaten at was this one down in Hawthorne. Sort of a sketchy area though.
Come to think of it a lot of the best places I’ve eaten at in LA were in sketchy places.
Best BBQ was in Crenshaw right off the 10.
Best Tacos at a truck next to a Von’s in Echo Park.
Best Pho at a dingy little strip mall in Hawthorne.
Best Korean was this family owned place over on Washington Blvd in a sort of “ghetto” area.
If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.
Also
I ate at a really good Korean BBQ place in Gardena that wasn’t terribly priced. There are a lot of Korean BBQ joints in Gardena.
If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.
Oh and I thought of another place
not as ghetto, but in Venice there is a place called Mao’s Kitchen that is good. The place is pretty dingy and the employees are all hipsters but the food was worth it.

Gotta go dig it outta my car CD stash
Belated apologies about getting the song stuck in your head.
My wife and have a game where we try to get a song stuck in the other person’s head. The trick is to just sing enough of the song to get it going. You win if the other person starts singing it unprompted. There is no end, the game is always ongoing.
As with warfare, there are certain songs outlawed by the Geneva convention as being too catchy to use by even the most desparate. To wit:
The Girl from Ipanema
How Much is That Doggie in the Window?
It’s a Small World (from the Disney ride)
Use of any of these songs results in an automatic disqualification. The victim is then allowed to listen to Beethoven’s 9th repeatedly until the scourge has been cleared.
My wife's ringtone is perpetually stuck in my head.
For that, I cannot forgive her. She receives approximately 99% more calls than me. The ringtone is this whistling song that is so contagious, I find myself whistling it EVERYWHERE. This ringtone might possibly tear us apart.
*And by “tear us apart” I mean I might not do the dishes for a few nights.
This is currently my signature.
A cunning plan that cannot fail
1. Find wife’s cell phone
2. Change ring tone to the never ending circus song
3. ???
4. Profit!!!
= Certain death by the hands of a scorned Southern woman.
I can’t risk that fate. She’s pissed already, having to have handed breast cancer it’s ever loving ass. You don’t mess with a Southern woman. You certainly don’t mess with one who has been through what she has.
I know my place. NOLA, you’ll enjoy this. I wash her feet.
Ringtone be damned.
This is currently my signature.
A funny aside,
I just got my new cell, and for about fifteen minutes I put the same ringtone she has on it. I got three calls, and every time, she jumped up and picked up her phone, until finally threatening me with my livelihood. It’s back to “Thunderstruck” now.
As my two year-old son says when my phone rings, “Dun DUN!!”
This is currently my signature.

I'm back to liking midgets too much.
I prefer my chipmucks seared
Brings out more of the gamey flavor in the meat.

I see nobody noticed my typo.
I actually prefer chipmunks to chipmucks.

Don't you love it when you have a day at work that is going by and you have done fuck all. . .
and then boom! Five people all urgently need you to find some information for you at the exact same God damned time!
Fear the NPE
So having a day job sucks
at least having a day job where as a contractor they don’t allow you internet access sucks.

Metallica has released two songs off of Death Magnetic "Cynaide" and "The Day that Never Comes"
After the complete train wreck that was St.Anger, I’m pretty skeptical this new album. However, the cover they did of Iron Maiden’s “Remember Tomorrow” was fantastic(though that could of been some of Maiden’s awesomeness rubbing off). So this could actually be decent.
Cyanide was kinda good. Had a few weak parts here and there, but overall a solid song.
The Day that Never Comes sucked hardcore for the first 5 minutes. I mean holy crap it’s bad. But the last 2.5 minutes or so was decent. Guitar solos are back!
Come on Metallica, make something decent for us to all pirate for once.

Where can I hear these tracks
in a legal fashion.
If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

I thought "Day" was ok
But Heftfield still can’t sing or write lyrics for shit, so the ballady stuff only works in small doses, the solo was derivitve of Sanitarum. All in all it was OK but I think it’s obvious Metallica is dried up creatively.

I gave up on Metallica after their first three albums.
If you want good thrash metal, find some At The Gates or The Haunted. However, I’ve been told that Metallica’s DVD is an amazing look into their fucked up lives. Got to rent that at some point.
