The Roundup: Kenny Britt is the New Pacman Jones, Where Will Monta Ellis Be Traded & a Canucks Fan in Bodypaint
Blake Lively … here’s a crazy Facebook story … she was driving topless … a scary elephant rampage … Rounders 2? … a teacher in Oklahoma is in trouble for you-know-what … video of a guy trying really, really hard to break into a store … he claimed the house was inherited when in reality, he was squatting … what are the safest SUVs? … I love Rachel McAdams, which is why I enjoyed this brief video … bear gets hit by a car, then flies through the windsheild of another car, killing two people … “Connecticut To Decriminalize Marijuana” … for all the Weird Al fans …

Funny story (kind of). My wife’s friend, who can be a little clueless, wanted to have Ring of Gold for her wedding song. She was pretty adament, until my wife sat her down and basically walked her line-by-line through the lyrics.
June 10th, 2011 at 8:37 AM

wow. That wasn’t funny at all. Not even for one second.
And it seems to be nothing but female teachers creeping. I would have thought it would be the complete opposite.
those are the only ones that make the “fun” news cycle, because male teachers hitting female high school girls are just rapists/statutory rapists. It’s not cute or funny.

The girl that shows up in the “hot” Canucks video should stick with painting her face instead of her body. If you get muffin top in UNDERWEAR you probably shouldn’t be naked anywhere other than in your own home.

that chick isn’t fat, but maybe her panties are too tight. Her face, though, is not her best attribute. That’s probably why she has those big cans out.
June 10th, 2011 at 8:49 AM
Been a great one! Im torn, I’d love the Mavs to just win the next game, but a 7 game series would be something else.

the best is watching people’s reactions when they don’t know it’s a “parody” of the original. they start squinting, wondering “did he really just say “fuckin’ look in your eye”?
it’s mandatory at all the weddings from my college friends though due to parties we had back in the day.

Well, this guy gets paid to know football and is seen as the gold standard for breaking down film.
it’s not like that’s some controversial position, though, or that nobody else thinks it. I probably saw 10 Ohio State games w/Pryor, and he throws a terrible football. I didn’t really need to wait for the premier film breaker downer in the universe to know that.
I think everybody knows it, maybe even Pryor.

it has been so great. well played, good stories, it has had just about everything. if the mavs could just win one more…….
June 10th, 2011 at 9:03 AM
Isn’t that only half the story though? As spencer (that bastion of rationale OSU debate), always points out that Pryor has had to do a lot more progression reads and playcalling then Newton.
June 10th, 2011 at 9:03 AM
Rusty’s not convinced.
give Rusty some credit. He was just pointing out the non-sensical aspect of that guy’s argument. Almost nobody has only seen 2 Pryor games. They’re the lead game of the week 5 times a year.

June 10th, 2011 at 9:08 AM
According to the article, a few scouts say the OSU offense was only one or two reads as well.
“I’ve always been a believer in the fact that by watching a team, whether it’s college or pro, it tells you a lot about what they think of the quarterback,” Cosell said. “The pass scheme concepts of the two games I’ve watched were very basic, with very simple route combinations, and half-field stuff. It was a lot of one read, a lot of under center play action, which simplifies the reading process. So this isn’t saying he’s poor at it. But this is what they did. The nature of their pass offense simplified things for him dramatically.’
June 10th, 2011 at 9:08 AM
If you’re going to go down that road, then I don’t think “Hammer Smashed Face” by Cannibal Corpse would go over too well either.
June 10th, 2011 at 9:08 AM
V4L, are you caught up with the CI episodes? What’s your take on Goren and the psych sub-plot? I see it mostly as filler as we know a deal about Goren’s psyche, which was pretty evident with those Nicole Wallace episodes. She’s the most evil bitch I’ve seen on screen.
June 10th, 2011 at 9:08 AM
And by a few scouts I meant one.

Also, gas is not approaching $5/gallon. It’s barely above $4, and should be dropping due to decreased demand and increase output.

yep. I’ve been car shopping for about a year, but only for fake, because I’m stuck with what I’ve got. But it’s getting really, really small, and is about to get way smaller when this new dumb baby comes around.
So I was shopping for an SUV (or a dumb minivan). Specifically, my current dream car is Ford Flex.

I was always under the assumption that while cheaper, flex fuel is guzzled up by your car at a faster rate, therefore negating pretty much all of your savings. Anyone know if that’s right?

its true. with hybrids costing 5-10k more than the gas version, the difference is not worth the extra costs. but, you can smell your own farts.

This. Factor in that the hybrids cost thousands more and you will really want to make sure you are saving money in the long run.
June 10th, 2011 at 9:27 AM
depends on what you’re driving now to what the hybrid is.
for example, my ’07 altima 3.5l takes premium, if i go to a hybrid with my next car I’ll earn back the extra cost (compared to a non hybrid high mileage car) sooner than if i was going from a car that takes regular with similar MPG as my altima.

Oh yeah, I agree. I have a weird mix of city driving (during the week) and highway driving (weekends), so I don’t know if it’ll work, but I feel like with all the miles I put on cars (about 25 – 30k per year), I feel like I have think about it.

Speaking of Sinatra does anyone remember the old SNL sketch from around the time when Kate Upton was born when Phil Hartman was playing Sinatra in a sketch of him recording the Duets album? They brought in a bunch of cast members imitating musicians; Sandler was Bono, I think Jan Hooks was Sinead O’Connor, and even Rosie O’Donnel was funny as Liza Minelli. It was gold, Jerry, gold.

I guess it depends on where you live and how much you drive. Gas in chicago is almost $5 a gallon. I would think you could make up that $5-$10K difference in a couple of years.

I think if you factor in the tax breaks, it’s pretty much even.
you can write off the sales tax on auto purchases, hybrid or not.
June 10th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
definitely go for one with a large gas tank, like the new sonata or ford fusion. otherwise, with the prius or little honda insight you’re only getting maybe a total of 550 miles per tank. filling up at the same rate as you did before, where as the the larger tank would allow you to fill up less frequently but only get a few miles less per gallon.
June 10th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
Less than $4/gallon where I am. Test drove one last year when we were looking for a car for the Wife and when we realized the AC turned off when you stopped, it was quickly removed from consideration.

if it’s true city stop-and-go driving, you just might break even or come out on top with a hybrid. I’d definitely break down EVERY cost though.
I think hybrids often have a credit associated with their purchase though, not just a break on sales tax. I think in Tennessee, if you buy one of the new Nissan Leafs (made in TN), you get even more of a credit.

I thought that movie sucked, really bad.
Inception was a very good movie, the problem is that it came out when everything else out was a wall of shit, so it started getting incredibly lofty praise and that of course lead to an internet back lash.

It’s among my favorite movies ever. I’m sure I’ve said this before, but I watched that movie solo at home one night, and the next night, I made by (not yet, but soon) wife watch it with me, because it was so very good.

My wife wants an SUV, now that we’re talking about kids. Too bad she bought a Pontiac G6 brand new, and now its worth next to nothing. I’d have to take a huge loss on the thing to get anything decent. This is why I never buy new cars.
June 10th, 2011 at 10:21 AM
I’ve had the same many times, but it’s been several months. I actually did research because I was concerned. I’d feel awake, but couldn’t open my eyes. And I’d feel someone shaking me or my bed. There are times now where I’ll fall asleep and jerk awake, launching the remote control across the room. It’s fucked up.
I’ve come to the conclusion it’s some form of sleep paralysis.
No, I’ve never done drugs in my life. Ever. Ha ha.

In case you don’t know, it’s called “In the House (in a heartbeat)” by John Murphy. It is freakin incredible. Top 3 score for me.
June 10th, 2011 at 10:24 AM
Luck, I guess, but as I grew up I became aware of the fact that it was different from the dreams other people had. After that, I started to focus more on what I could do in my dreams.
I can remember the majority of my dreams, and almost always am aware that I’m dreaming and have a ton of control of the “dream world”. I’ve definitely flown in dreams, and can typically do whatever I want. If a dream gets super scary, I can usually just completely change the “world” so I have something entirely different going on. It’s very rare I have nightmares that I can’t get out of- when I do, it’s terrifying because it’s a scary situation and I lose the control I’m used to. Also, the fact that the dream is so real, I know I’m dreaming, and I can’t get out is terrifying. That’s rare, though.
After Inception came out, I started having weirder dreams- this will sound weird, but I started to have layered dreams like they did within the movie. Also, as I’m falling asleep, I can enter dreams that I already had the night before. If I have a great dream going, I can pick up where I left off every night for weeks.
I will say that there are occasional nights that I don’t dream or just dream normal. Usually if I drink any alcohol I can’t.
June 10th, 2011 at 10:25 AM

The best dreams I’ve ever had was when I had bronchitis and my aunt let me take some of her prescreption cough medicine. It wasn’t just the normal cough medicine with codeine. It had some sort of super concentrated drug in there. It was like I was dreaming in HD and had super powers.

I love that car. It actually gets better mileage than the 2003 Stratus I traded in for it. Found that funny when I started enjoying the extra 200 HP and 250 ft/lb of torque. Now if everyone else would stop driving in Chicago, I could bring it up.

two machines i’d rather have than a time machine: a device that lets you watch your dreams, and a device that lets you watch moments from your life (not memories, because those get cloudy or change with time). as if someone had been filming it, but through your eyes rather than like a movie. not sure i;d want to watch myself, just relive the moment

I remember running. Running fast. And something was behind me. I jumped off a cliff and was falling. I woke up, startled as shit. Fell back asleep a few minutes later and I was at the bottom of the cliff on my feet and away from whatever was chasing me.
Went to bed the next night and I was back at the bottom of that cliff, beginning a new adventure.

–My wife and I danced to Jeff Buckley’s “Lover You Should Have Come Over.” When you’re the only couple dancing at that time, you might think dancing to a six minute tune could be daunting. We thought it was hilarious toward the end.
–Wrong picture for Blake Lively, TBL. She doesn’t look too good there.
–Canucks chick can bring that muffin top wherever the hell she pleases.
–Favorite DiCaprio movies: Inception, Shutter Island, Gangs of New York. He’s really made a LOT of good choices in the last 10 or 12 years.
–Unless you’re an avid outdoors person or are in a band, or have a large family, an SUV is not a good vehicle. I’d buy one of those electric ones IF/WHEN the country puts more charge posts around the country. Until them…40+ MPG FTW.

I’m not being hostile vez, at all. I was merely being smarmy about your response that tried to link the gut-bust scene in Alien to an example I used from 28 Days Later. The two have nothing in common. In fact, Alien sets up from the beginning that it is the future, humans are no capable of interstellar travel and extraordinary things. The reality of the movie is that if you are in a weird space colony, shit could get crazy with alien lifeforms. 28 Days later also creates its reality, and that is that this bike messenger who was nothing more than a bike messenger awakes to find the world has been overrun by an infectious disease. Through some street sense, know-how and luck he is able to survive and band together with others.
Eventually they encounter soldiers that were able to survive and wall themselves off. This would imply the soldiers have an incredible amount of skill and are also ruthless. They bring him out to be killed and as evidence by the bodies around they have done it before. I just didn’t like how the scene came together.
That alone didn’t ruin the movie for me. But I think it was a reference point I could allude to. Having watched endless apocalypse-style films I am often critical in this nature. For instance, I also was not a fan of I Am Legend. Just my one tiny opinion on the internet, but I certainly have no beef with anyone and their own opinions but I will defend the arguments from my point of view.
