November 21st, 2012 at 8:42 AM
Grinnell actually has the Grinnell System named after them. The whole point of the system is high volume of threes and to shoot within a very few seconds. One fo the keys to keeping the tempo up though is constant mass substitutions so I would assume they didn’t follow that with this guy based on number of shots.
November 21st, 2012 at 8:43 AM

I think I have had the craziest morning ever. This might be long.
These past couple mornings I have come across the neighborhood delivery van out on my run. Monday they called me a faggot as they passed me. Tuesday they threw a paper at my feet while waiting to cross at an intersection (no house around so no excuse for throwing paper). Today they yelled something, but my headphones were a little loud so I don’t know exactly what they said. Well just so happens that when I got back to the house today, guess who is creeping through the complex delivering papers? Yeah. These guys. So I just sat on my porch and waited until they got to my house and I fucking tore into them. Turns out when confronted face to face, they were a bunch of pussies. I have never been in a fist fight in my life, but man I wanted to throw down today.
20 minutes later newspaper rep calls me saying that I was yelling at the delivery guy. I explained the situation and they actually ended up apologizing to me and gave me a month free on my current subscription.
I can’t wait to go running tomorrow.
November 21st, 2012 at 9:09 AM
Grinnell is a pretty damn good school, no? Any regrets, KC?
None. My brother played minor college hoops and left after two years to transfer to KU and enjoy college life. At some point, one gets tired of getting yelled at with no chance of making money playing hoops.

I have rarely agreed with her and the lollipop guild lately. However, if this keeps them from missing a bowl next year and beyond, I say it was a good move. When I went to the BC game to start the year, there was a rep from the NCAA on the UM sidelines talking with their compliance folks so they have been in direct communication the whole time.

That’s not a bad thing. Back then every game didn’t have to be a huge extravaganza like every game that is released these days. I like it simple.

I wrote a 49849584954 word review of it after I finished it several months back if you’re interested in getting really angry.
X2 was tougher I think so I had more fun with that one. X3 was absurdly difficult, the series crapped out after that.
That game had one of the weirdest most nonsensical storylines ever. Find these mystic statue things because your dead dad communicated to you through a flute, but meanwhile child slavery needs to be stopped and there’s a spoiled princess and a pig following you around… WTF were they smoking coming up with that?

All are great games, Mario 64 was the first pretty much perfect 3D platformer. I love Mario 3 personally the most of those games.

I’m not trying to pretend I wasn’t (am not currently) a huge pussy, but I was really good at wrong place/wrong time. So I got punched a whole lot. I didn’t punch nearly as much.

In terms of Wright, I can’t figure out if it’s just bad luck, or if he can’t develop talent, but he has had a number of guys in the last 3-4 years that were very highly recruited, and just mega-flopped.

Nah that’s ok. I respect other people’s gaming likes and dislikes. Just saying personally it’s my favorite game of all time.

I got punched once while breaking up a fight in college, another one of my friends jumped on the guy before I could react and beat the piss out of him.
Was slapped by a guy in college for taking his towel while he was in the shower in the dorms, just stood there stunned at the audacity of a grown man slapping another.
November 21st, 2012 at 9:32 AM
Oh don’t worry. My husband works very hard and has a stressful job, so I don’t begrudge him playing. Especially the first week he has a new game. I’ll pour some wine and go watch something else.

I’m a non-violent person and not from a ghetto or anything but a scrappy neighborhood, lotsa people, kids. Fights as a kid arent that valid but a skirmish in high school or college is good for the soul. Knowing a bit of self-defense is a valid life skill. There’s that one Law & Order where the guy who was Ross on friends get mugged and beat up and then he wants to become Charles Bronson in Deathwish.

I’d agree with this. Mario 64 had a real awe factor but 3 is by far the most fun. Also the Super Mario Bros. for the Wii are fantastic.

Both coaches have a fair amount of “equity” built up. Nova fans are passionate about basketball and UT fans aren’t. But despite all the tournament berths the anti-Barnes noise is getting louder. UT has no commitments in the 2013 class. If they get Kabongo back and still suck…yikes.
November 21st, 2012 at 9:36 AM
Though my freshman year of high school there was this kid who always bullied me (which was weird because he was half my size, but he had a huge friend in tow) and one day he was walking next to me just talking shit non stop so without saying anything I just grabbed him and threw him into a brick wall, that was really really satisfying.

Been in three fights. Lost the one because I had no idea what I was doing. The second two were decisive victories.
I’m a big dude (6-6, 225) and it takes a lot to push me to a point where it’s gonna get physical. But if mind feels that the violence is justified (friend or family member being attacked, self defense) I have no problem going as far as I need to in order to ensure that I win.

November 21st, 2012 at 9:55 AM
The last time I was worried I would be in a fight was my senior year of college, my roommate and two of our coke whore coworkers came back to the apartment with these guys and one of the chicks spit on one of them and shit escalated. Ended with my roommate walking out of the apartment with a hot clothes iron threatening them and me standing there with a can opener in my pocket ready to wail on someone with it (I was not sober, great choice of weaponry).

November 21st, 2012 at 9:58 AM
Let us not discount Ducktales, Chip N Dales Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck for the NES. But Aladdin and Lion King were both awesome. As was the Mickey Mouse game where Mickey could have different powers like a magician or a firefighter.
Going through the list further, I’m glad that Metroid Prime is on there. Played the shit out of that game junior year of college along with Wind Waker.
And Mega Man 2 should have been in on that list over the first.
November 21st, 2012 at 9:59 AM

Hey I wear those. Actually I prefer the Fila brand knock-offs.
And I have been in plenty of fights starting since elementary school. As a kid my dad put boxing gloves on my brother and I, so we had plenty of practice (although I got the worst of it since I am 3 years younger than him and smaller).

similar but short and far less awkward…think the first appearance of cricket before he went batshit cuz of D.
cosigned…and i wasn’t a bully per se, but i did some shit to kids i definitely regret. i full on joe frazier hooked this kid in the nuts once and he was hyperventilating…felt real bad about that one.

once in HS my tightwad dean got on my shit because i dyed my hair black and wore all black for like two mos straight when i was in my big time metal phase…told me if i wore all black again id get a detention.

This lady won’t stop talking about the famous dish she brought in. Apparently it’s a huge hit whenever she throws a party. I took one whiff this morning and it smelled like spoiled cabbage. FML.
When they were putting together this potluck, I told them point blank that I’d be doing the office a favor by not subjecting them to eat whatever the hell I cooked up. So I got away with drinking soft drinks and chips.
Exactly. I pushed for a team lunch at a restaurant but got shot down. Yes, I know restaurant kitchens are probably dirtier than my co-workers home, but still. At least they have to deal with the health department. I’d rather take my chances with them.

I was a total dick to some people back in middle school. Especially one kid in my neighborhood who me and a few friends destroyed mentally. We all became friends in high school after maturing a little bit. I became more of a pacifist after 9th grade when I focused my attention to getting poon.

I have an Atari 2600 and all of my games (including Pitfall) still in my attic at my house. I recently unearthed it and my 6 year old kid was asking me to hook those games up to the TV to see how it worked. I’m not even sure I have a TV that I would be able to use for it anymore.

I think kids are probably at their meanest from the age of 12-15. There was this one kid who was really into Buffy the vampire slayer. He didn’t hang out with any guys. Had a bunch of female friends. Everyone picked on him. I mostly stayed out of it, but did hit him once during gym class with a basketball. Immediately felt bad and apologized. Never bullied anyone else in my life. In 10th grade, I did get intentionally tripped by a offensive lineman in our football team. Ashamed to say that I didn’t do anything and just walked away.

Still remember the one “fight” I had in high school. The football team had gotten bent over on Friday and I enjoyed making fun of them for it. Granted, this was after 2 years in a row of going to the state championship. Walked into school on Monday and the QB and a couple of his linemen were waiting for me. Words were exchanged, and I ended up being held up against a locker by the the one giant-sized lineman. I wasn’t the biggest guy, but he didn’t count on my knee being perfectly aligned when he lifted me up that way. I told him to put me down, but he declined. The next thing he knows he is on the ground crying because I tried to get my knee to touch his stomach through his groin.
Actually saw the guy a few months ago because I’ve gone back to volunteer at my old school while working on a new degree. He avoided eye contact the entire evening at the coaches meeting.

So today I find out cleet was a jerk in school and enjoys boy bands. My image of him = shattered.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:27 AM
Good call on that.
There is an actual Radio Shack 5 minutes from the house (almost like seeing a Fotomat at this point), so I may hit them up for this.

Just a jerk in grade and middle school. In high school I switched to public school and was at the bottom of the food chain. Never got in trouble once in high school, no detentions or anything. Going from top dog to nobody over one summer really helped me get some perspective.
As for the BSB stuff, I’ve said it before on TBL, if only the damn commenter spreadsheet was updated.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:32 AM
I was a complete dick in grade school.
I think from ages 12-18 I was among the absolute worst people going that didn’t spend time in jail. I did bad things, I treated people like shit, I weaseled my way out of trouble, etc.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:32 AM

Cleet drives either a rusty Fierro or some haggard Mazda most likely. The passenger side window hasnt gone down in three years. That seat is covered with various NOW THATS WHAT I CALL MUSIC, editions 03-15. The cd cases are cracked. None of the CDs are in the proper case.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:40 AM
That may be the most asinine office policy that I’ve seen in a while. Let me guess, no speakers at your desk either?
November 21st, 2012 at 10:40 AM
Same here, except I learned it as “there is no such thing as a fair fight”.
Did they say why? Usually, these heavy handed office rules involve one asshole doing something to fuck it up for everyone else.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:41 AM
Cleet also rowed crew, so there’s a good chance he’s got a sweater tied around his neck in addition to the frosted tips and earring. Sweater likely has a big gaudy crest on it.

Discussion point: Do you call it stuffing or dressing, and do you actually bake your stuffing/dressing in the bird on a separate vessel?
November 21st, 2012 at 10:42 AM
It’s because they think it interferes with people answering the phones. Which it doesn’t.
I have speakers at my desk and will listen to music through them.
First they put in the no smoking pot in the bathroom policy, now this, goddamn nazis.

November 21st, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Discussion point: Do you call it stuffing or dressing, and do you actually bake your stuffing/dressing in the bird on a separate vessel?
I don’t think it’s cool to actually stuff your bird anymore, because the stuffing soaks up so much uncooked turkey juice. You’re supposed to stuff it with brussels sprouts or something else.
My brother always makes cornbread dressing, and he always makes about 40 pounds of it. And I am so sick of it. I like bread dressing now, because it’s not so blocky.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:43 AM
stuffing, in bird / have to sometimes do a 2nd bit though as the amount of stuffing you can cram in a bird is not proportionate to demand – in which cae – seperate veseel.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:44 AM
Oh they don’t know I do that, but I get all of my work done and spend the day fucking around and applying for other jobs.

Dressing, and it is cooked with chicken in it and is cooked and eaten separately. Also, it is made with cornbread.

of course not, how could they?

Mole is could be worse. The guy a couple of cubicles ahead of me listens to that weird Papa Roach/Korn/alterna-buzz crap that came out in the early 00s all day. It makes me want to suicide.

My point is, I wish he had headphones.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:49 AM

I always skated. I was easily my own worst enemy, my whole life. I alternated between being utterly disdainful, and overwhelmed by shame.

Never put stuffing inside the bird, because then you have to get the stuffing up to 165, and by then the breasts (mmmm) are way overdone.
Scrapple inside the turkey, now thats an idea….

I vaguely remembered that episode, but it wasn’t ’til you mentioned “4B” that it rang a bell. Just googled it…turns out it was the pilot, from way back in September of ’93.
November 21st, 2012 at 11:28 AM
Don’t remember the end. Probably featured a pasty white male behind or a soft focus female one. So edgy in the 80s.

Brine (assuming we’re talking turkey)
2.5 gallons water
.5 gallons apple juice (if you don’t want apple flavor, sub water)
1 cup salt
1 cup brown sugar
Handful of peppercorns
3-5 bay leaves
This is a 24 hour brine. Cut the salt if you want ot go longer. Conversly, up it if you want shorter (don’t go more than a 1/2 cup up though).
Rinse after brining. Air dry a day if you can (helps crisp skin).
I then smoke the turkey at 225 with apple wood, until the thigh registers 150, then i crank the smoker to 400 to crisp the skin. Looking for 170-175 in the thigh.
