I'm 100% Sure Tiago Will Sign With Spurs

Buyout problems?  Failed physical?  Don't let any of this get you down.  Tiago will sign with the Spurs.  I can think of no other reason why he would follow PtR on Twitter.

by spurscitizen on Jul 16, 2010 8:52 AM CDT up reply actions  

hmmmm. i gotta think that cincinnati style chili would likely be considered a mockery by any texan. however, it is essentially thin chili with beans over spaghetti with cheese onions. some have it with a hint of cinnamon. skyline is most popular, but gold star chili is a little better imho – but nether are super-stellar. it is fast food.

in dayton, its hard to beat the submarine house for subs – but that’s also kind of fast. but they do have great sub sandwiches.

oregon district in downtown dayotn (5th Street) has a number of good places to eat and drink. pacchia is a little nicer, jay’s seafood is pretty good. franco’s italian is not bad. tumbleweed, sloopy’s, newcoms and dublin pub are all OK for beverages.

hit me up at: wallace@pbworld.com if you make it to the cincinnati area while you are here. we can meet up for a beer or whatever and talk more particulars if you like.

Oh nice suggestions! Thanks bones. I have frequented submarine house so far. All the other ones are new to me. My brother is rolling into town over the weekend, so now I can act like I know something around here :P

I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking, but I’ll try a response anyway.

I think you’re wondering whether or how you should go about alerting the Lexicon committee about a post you think particularly interesting. What you did will work, or you could just say, “Hey, jrw. How about this one?” or something like that.

But I should note that not all typos are created equal, and some witticisms simply do not make the cut. I have a full dozen on my desk right now that haven’t been entered, and won’t be, until it’s decided whether they’re of high enough quality to be included in the Lexicon.

Does that answer your question?

my personal opinion is that correcting yourself or pointing out your own error significantly reduces lexicon chances unless the error is so epic, the correction adds to the embarrassment of the original mistake

isn’t that one of the points of the lexicon though, fun embarassment

I would say that if another PtRer responds with an image to your error, that significantly increases your chance of entering The Lexicon.

To this day, I’m convinced that brining it would not have entered The Lexicon if Lauri had not followed up my typo with that picture. JRW, feel free to correct me on this.

Neither would gowning on trees.

The people of the village fell silent, as the beast opened its mouth. And then the beast spoke, and said "LOL BRO".

by Tim C. on Jul 12, 2010 12:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

I’ll take on BOTH of these here.

First, Tim’s reference to gowning on trees. That one just had to make the Lexicon, simply out of fairness. It was my first well-publicized misspelling, and there was no way that I could leave it out and have any creditability as the Lexicon’s gatekeeper. The fact that Romeo found multiple epic images in order to really drive home my mistake was just icing on the cake; critically-acclaimed-award-winning icing, but icing nonetheless.

As for Cap’s theory, I think there’s something to it. As I’ve said a number of times before: it takes more than a couple of jumbled letters to put an entry over the top. Sometimes its the feel of the new word, other times its the look of it or how it sounds. Sometimes it’s the way the entire sentence works with the term. And then there are the times when the response is what makes the submission a shoo in, as was the case with brining it.

Lauri’s reply was so understated (just the quote of Cap’s gaff) and the image so clever, that there was immediately a ton of momentum behind that typo. And once everybody thought it was funny, they started using it. And at that point, I’m not adding it to the Lexicon to give it publicity and a chance at being used, I’m simply acting catalog a term that had already made it.

Now going back to gowning, it’s interesting to note that although the images were funny, and the term is in the Lexicon, it gets absolutely no use on the site. In fact, if we tally the two terms being discussed here, brining has 50 and gowning has 8 (before this comment that is) and both had amazing images to support them. So, it’s just one of those things. Like how I thought knee-maintenance would really take off. Or how Cap thought that manman had legs.

by titansfan4ever on Jul 12, 2010 2:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

It’s not really as bad as I made it out to be. The reality is that I have a dozen waiting to enter because I simply haven’t gotten around to making myself do the research and post the entries yet; not because I’m in deliberations as to the relative merits of each possible entry.

But those that are waiting were culled (on the fly, mind you) from tons more submissions that just didn’t have that it necessary to join the Lexicon.

So, it’s not quite that difficult, but not easy either.

All I can say is that I am relatively certain that I’m not capable of one.

The last time I thought I had pulled a really awesome stray comment out of thin air was when, instead of using a commonplace compliment, I called a guy a “world-renowned paleontologist” and mentally patted myself on the back for my utterly arbitrary phrase.

It wasn’t long after he hung up chuckling, that I realized that what I’d been about to call him was a “rock star” and that I’d merely found different words to say the same thing. Not random at all.

I suppose that a person just walking into a conversation could say something that appears to those listening as being completely random, but from his point of view (or from the point of view of someone intimately connected with him) it would probably not seem disconnected at all.

I for one am really excited for this coming season. Our big three will remain our big three as long as they still healthy. RJ should have a better second year with less strees on his shoulders. GHill and Blair will continue to improve and the addition of Tiago Splitter makes our front line better and takes pressure of Timmy. Now if Anderson could be exactly what he is, which is instant offense ( maybe a Rip Hamilton type) and I believe our chances are good. Still need to fill some gaps but we look good.

His English sounds more understandable to me

I cannot tell if we are joking about his Portuguese or he is actually speaking Spanish.

I wrote last month that I’d would believe this signing would happen, until Tiago was seen shoulder to shoulder with R.C. at a press conference.

So, I’m not falling for this chop; nice try though.

760 insulting his English, and his “I’m happy and very great”comment.

They’re also saying #22 was Ian’s jersey number. Only off by 6.

They sounded more enthusiastic when talking about Bron. Are they SanAntonio guys or what?
