PrintIf you will be watching the Duke-Butler game tonight (college final for those who don't know/care), then this is the place for discussion, comments, reasons to root for the Bulldogs over the Blue Devils, etc. Or if you just want to talk about what you had for lunch, or what you will do with the millions you win in the Powerball lottery (please FSM, just this once), or any other random thing, then this is even more the place for you. (Sorry about the general lateness of this thread - I just realized I should probably create one. It's a Monday.)

Was thinking of getting the preview out early but this is much better. Thanks, C-Hill.
Surprising that for Duke and Coach K’s storied tradition, they only have 4 (or 3?) NCAA titles. I dunno if I got that stat right, just saw it on TV a couple of days ago.

True, but Duke has accomplished all of this in the last 30 years, under Coach K. Only around 10 programs have multiple championships post-UCLA/Wooden years. UCLA won 10 chips between ’64 and ’75.
Ah, that explains it. Much respect to Coach K, but I still find Duke a bit unattractive for some strange reason :)

I’m no Duke fan, but I have to admit the sight of Coach K all alone on his sideline stool is pretty iconic.

I’d consider Battier and Boozer the best to come out of Duke in the last decade. The last superstar out of Duke was Grant Hill, before injuries derailed him. Brand is a good player, but hasn’t lived up to his max contract (and probably won’t). The following, though, haven’t lived up to the hype as can’t miss types (off the top of my head):
Ferry
Laettner
Parks
J. Williams
S. Williams
Avery
Dunleavy
Langdon
I don’t include Hurley, because he was in that horrific car accident, but IMHO he wouldn’t have been more than a career backup. This is not to say that all of these guys were stiffs, just that none of them panned out as average NBA starters. Shows what a crap shoot the draft is.
Blacker than Kobe’s heart.

Good for the Rangers. Cards and Rockies won, and Pujols started his 2010 MVP campaign rather well. Not a bad Opening Day.
No kidding about Pujols. And did you see Buehrle’s ridiculous between-the-legs save?

The other day I gave my dog a big chunk of raw fish to eat and he ate it on top of the super cheap Ikea rug I use when I give him raw stuff and he ate it all but there were fish bits all over the rug and the whole house ended up smelling like fish so then I had to wash the rug but the fish stink sort of remained and then I noticed my dog looked pretty fat and the next day he took the longest piss ever but all in all it was a good.
That’s all.

I’d have a 10 thousand gallon pond outside or perhaps bigger. Inside the house wouldn’t be full of tanks, it would have a 500 gallon freshwater tank and a 300 gallon reef. Most of the money would go to a massive fish breeding facility. I’d also culture live food and propagate plants. Since I could live off the lottery money and wouldn’t depend on fish sales to support me, the money made from the sales would go to paying for all the fish-related expenses and to care for endangered freshwater species that I would breed.
To serve man.
Gustatus similis pullus.
Were it that I had such noble intentions with the money.
I would spend it all, but not go utterly nuts.
For example, Id buy like a 80,000 BMW for a car , not a 500,000 Bentley.
A 1 million dollar home, and not a 10 million dollar compound/ golf course/ Gym
Yknow, just try and not spend it all in one place would be my motto.
Crappy teams fear us !
I would definitely leave some money for the kids I plan on fathering some day, but I wouldnt leave very much.
I would also leave it in a trust fund with the stipulation that my kid would only get the money if they graduated with at least an associates degree. I think thats fair. Wouldnt want my kid to just blow all their money then be completely f&cked…

You know, he still might have a shot at sanity, after all.

Talking about Life. I’m sorry but Oprah is a terrible narrator. When she has to put some excitement or emotion in a line, it ends up sounding ridiculous.
Why couldn’t they leave Attenborough? It’s not like people won’t understand what he says. I don’t know why awesome BBC docs have to have other narrators here.

I always heard that once you hit three and you’re outnumbered, it’s pretty much semi-controlled chaos at best from then on out.
Basically voted most normal person on PtR.
Experienced parents call the move from 2 to 3 kids switching from man-to-man to zone.
And once you learn the zone, then you wonder what the big deal is.
Also, it really helps to have, as we do, the oldest be more than 4 years older than the next one. ’Cause then they help.

Hey, any parents that can raise five kids without ending up with a pig’s head on a pike in the yard at some point gets my respect and maybe even cake.

Sarah Silverman had a joke about jury duty. She said a friend told her to put something racist in one of the interview questions, because if there’s any evidence of racism they won’t pick you.
So Sarah put, “I hate chinks!”.
But then he thought about, and it sounded really mean and offensive.
So she changed it to, " I love chinks!".

Oh, like I haven’t heard that before. “You’re being paranoid, Q;” “they aren’t talking about you, Q;” “put the bat away, Q;” “take a deep breath and relax—stop looking at me like that, Q, I’m just trying to help;” “c’mon, you probably just imagined that—really, I don’t think that person dislikes you at all;” “please, Q, just—just have a drink, okay?”
Whatever.

It does. The movie is well done but you just have the feeling things are gonna go to shit at any moment. The quick edit sequence of when they inject and get high is very cool, and the score Lux Aeterna has been used in like very effing trailer since.

So Phil Jackson got fined $35,000 for his ref comments. They need to bring down the hammer and make it $135,000. Give half of the money to charity, and the rest to the opposing team.

Movies you shouldn’t waste your time on: Equilibrium.

Really? There wasn’t much to the movie at all. When I was watching it with my family we all agreed that the Oscar choice had to have been motivated by some sort of residual guilt over the war.

Agree with Cap. I liked Hurt Locker. I guess war movies in general perform well in Oscar judges’ minds.

Well, I like war movies, usually. Rescuing Private Ryan is in my pantheon. But The Hurt Locker just had… bombs? And a very short war-as-an-addiction scene near the end.
I couldn’t see the appeal.
I smell death... everywhere.
Also, it was weird when he saw the kid in the operating room, with the bomb inside his body, and thought it was the kid he knew. And then his friends asked themselves if he was the right one (“they all look the same”). Ridiculous, I thought….
…and it turns out they were right. Damn.
I smell death... everywhere.
What I liked about it was the movie showed the war in Afghanistan through the lens of a bomb squad. I dunno if that has been done before, but it contributed to some really suspenseful moments.

You liked this movie, LD? I have to say it’s better than I expected, but that’s not saying much, they took me to watch it and I didn’t even know what movie we were watching.
Yeah, loved it. Hard sci-fi, good science, everything made sense (except for a couple of little things) and the actor’s great.

Primer blew my mind. Watched it twice, and I think I still don’t understand some of the twists.

Yeah I thought about that movie constantly, trying to figure out the twists. The lead actor was in our last film. Really nice guy.

Yeah David Sullivan. I must have asked him 20 questions about the movie. He held it close to his chest though. He wanted me to actually figure out on my own.

No movie, yet. I was just referencing just a couple of “cool” things that had been mentioned in an xkcd comic.
For news on why no movie yet, see here. And I agree with Card; Petersen is the absolute WRONG choice to direct an adaptation of Ender’s Game.

I’m pissed I missed this too. I love Wes Anderson. Let me know how it is.
Superman wears Manu Ginobili pajamas to bed.
Often when I look at historical sport events on Youtube, I look at the people in it and I think, " They had no idea this historic thing was about to happen", and I like watching their reactions.
I sometimes wish there was a camera recording my expression on that fateful day.
I was looking at some Youtube video, exactly which I cannot remember and it’s not really important to this story. I like reading random Youtube comments because among the stupidity, racism, ignorance, and stupidity you often find truly hilarious comments. Their writers often one hit wonders who chanced upon a truly original turn of phrase, never to find other like it again.
I was scanning the waves of comments when among the vast sea of excrement, a bouy of hope stuck out. I read it once, twice, thrice, quadriceps. I couldn’t stop reading it. Then the sheer humor of it hit me like a fat chick being dropped from a rooftop onto a Chihuahua. There it was, in all it’s glory:
“You want to ride my penis-wagon? :)”
I had never been to happy in my life. Who was the modern Shakespeare who had written this? Who was this unsung genius who walked among us, his skull hiding an intellect the size of something really big.
My mind began racing at the sheer possibilities. Did the person meant to write that? Was he really that funny? What if the person was a foreigner who had meant to insult someone, badly translating the local insult into the piece of poetry above?
But there were more questions. What the hell is a penis-wagon? Is it a wagon full of penises? A wagon pulled by penises? Something weird thing in between?
The questions kept coming, even if the answers did not. I could not understand who the comment was directed to, since it was there, by itself. A diamond found in a lone dirt road.
And what about the smiley? Who insults people in such a friendly way? Maybe the foreigner meant to be friendly, rapidly thumbing through his stupid-foreign-language to English dictionary, translating some greeting into " You want to ride my penis-wagon? :)?". I imagined a good person behind the screen, quietly smiling as he types what he though was a friendly greeting to all the people in Youtube land. A normal person trying to do the right thing, with hilarious results.
Things just didn’t fit. Why would someone ask someting so vulgar in a way which made it seem the person was asking you if you wanted pie? But there were other little things. The care with which the sentence was obviously written. No spelling mistakes, no extranous characters littering the place. “Penis-wagon” not penis wagon. This person had to know what it was doing.
I wasn’t able to crack the mystery, and maybe it’s better that way. Some things are just too complex for us to understand. I used to hate that excuse, but now I understand what people mean.
To this day, I still look at the moon sometimes, and I wonder if the person who wrote that comment is looking at that same moon, at that same moment. It brings a smile to my face.
