McBain (#185): The video is already gone... :( "the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum

It was just O'Reilly being an asshole. I didn't think it was funny. I thought it was sad. "If everybody has a very different story and a very different experience, then it's very personal and they were driving the story by playing the game. It's not a story that was being told to them in cut-scenes from the game designers' point of view." - Will Wright

I didn't watch the whole thing. When did it get funny? Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

Right around the time he showed himself to be a petulant, angry child...just like every other highly paid news journalist in the history of time. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

I totally forgot I posted here and the discussion has moved on but I don't really care, so, yes, I can make a compelling argument that Kobe was not the MVP. There are four basic ways to judge an MVP that people roll out whenever the discussion gets going, and Kobe fails at all four of them this year. 1. Best Overall Stats - That'd be Mr. LeBron James, who was significantly superior to Kobe in nearly every way this year. The argument can also be made that Chris Paul's stats were better, although it's a slightly harder argument to make than James because you have to start weighing the value of assists and steals vs. points and rebounds. Either way, James dominates this category. 2. Best Player on the Best Team - That'd be someone on the Celtics, although frankly none of them were the MVP either. Then it'd be someone on the Pistons. Kobe's team was third in the standings this year, so he's the third-best player if you vote by this reasoning. 3. Player who if you removed him, the team would be hurt the most - Chris Paul or LeBron James were both dramatically more important to their success of their team than Kobe was this year. Arguably so was Garnett only because his presence convinced them they could actually, you know ... not suck. Now, in 2006 Kobe totally *decimated* this category (and also category 1), which is why he should've been the MVP then. Without Kobe, even with an all-star in his place, there is no way in hell the 2006 Lakers would've made the playoffs, let alone nearly upset the Suns in the first round. 4. Player who, after he showed up, the team suddenly turned around and became a force - This is why Steve Nash won his first MVP, and if you went by this reasoning you'd certainly choose Garnett this year. My preference for Paul was pretty well summed up by ESPN's John Hollinger several weeks ago: "He's almost drawn even in PER [with James], he hasn't missed any games, his team is in first in the West [note: the Hornets ended up one game behind LA], and he saved basketball in New Orleans. What more do you want?" -- basically for me it's a healthy dose of categories 1 and 3 compounded by the fact that Paul's having the best statistical season for any point guard since Magic Johnson (Kobe's season, by comparison, is not even the best he's had in the past few years). There's also the fifth category: "not a fucking rapist" but that's just a personal category that helps sway my vote away from Kobe. Basically, the journalists gave it to him this year because a) he should've won it in 2006 but everyone gave it to Nash because he's white and b) everyone's amazed that his current teammates actually like him. -chris |

The best blog entry ever This is why Buzz Bissinger hates blogs. |
|
Didn't read it, the guy is probably an ass. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
Screw Buzz Bissinger. That's why I hate blogs. |
|
I hope Kobe plays hurt in game five and screws everything up for the Lakers by trying to be Michael Jordon. |
|
Sigh... |

Mcbain has probably already linked this, but I try and avoid clicking on mcbains "your liberal media" context and discussion free links. Some douchebag Bush supporter gets called out for being a douchebag on MSNBC. Kevin James (no idea who he is) keeps going on about appeasement and how Barak Obama is an appeaser just like Chamberlin. After being questioned on what Chamberlain did and what appeasment is, hilarity ensues. |
|
Kevin James is that fat idiot on King and Queens, he was in Chuck and Larry too. |
|
I don't know what either of those things are. |
|
King of Queens is one of the shows that taught Format about life in America. |
|
I think this may be a different Kevin James. |
|
Does it matter to Squeaky? |
|
Does it matter to you? |
|
Does it matter at all? |
|
You added context and it only led to confusion! Epic Fail. |
|
Im just wondering why the republican talking head is saying Obama should be over talking in Israel... Im sorry, when did potential presidential candidates become important enough to be oversees talking policy ? ps, rather funny smack down, another talking head with no grasp on history |
|
King of Queens is one of the shows that taught Format about life in America I once asked how much the rent would be for a house like the one the show's characters live in. That's all. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
Sitcom houses are not representative. |
|
I love The King of Queens. Hey guys, do fat guys in New York boroughs really get hot skinny chicks? |

Scientology, baby! |^^^^^^^^^^^^ |||__

:\ That actually makes the show less enjoyable. "Using [sandbox elements] to play a melody, following a script, diction, or formula if you would, takes this cacophonous system and gives it harmony, and takes random notes and turns them into music." - bago

Why? Do the Thetans beam themselves down and watch the show with you? |
|
Ds_ (#208): Im just wondering why the republican talking head is saying Obama should be over talking in Israel... Especially when senators do this without the president's approval they got strung up in the press... "the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum

It says something about her personality, and actors brings part of their personalities to the screen. "Using [sandbox elements] to play a melody, following a script, diction, or formula if you would, takes this cacophonous system and gives it harmony, and takes random notes and turns them into music." - bago
|
|
That's pretty stupid. |
|
No you're stupid! Really? You totally divorce the antics on screen from the people? I don't mean to say everything is linked, I can like a character and not the person and that's fine. But I'd still say the two are linked somehow. Hm. I guess that is pretty vague.

gaggle (#218): No you're stupid! Really? You totally divorce the antics on screen from the people? I don't mean to say everything is linked, I can like a character and not the person and that's fine. But I'd still say the two are linked somehow. Hm. I guess that is pretty vague. I don't completely divorce them, but I don't really hold it against them either. People make stupid choices all of the time. Some in entertainment are religious fanatics, like Flyleaf, but I still listen to and like them. Will Smith is rumored to be a scientologist. Does it make me like his movies less? Nope. He's a very charismatic guy and I really like him in the movies...that doesn't mean I respect that decision or probably others he's made. Movies are pretend. The best people in them are the ones that pretend really well... "the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum

You totally divorce the antics on screen from the people? Of course. Unless they're preaching on the screen, why would that matter? |
|
Enh. I can see where gaggle is coming from to some extent. I have a tough time watching Tom Cruise any more, knowing what a complete loon he is offscreen. Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.
--Flowers |
|
Yeah, but in Gaggy's case, it sounds more like "Wait, she's a Scientologist? Screw that!" more than "She's done W, X, Y, and Z., what a goofball!" I can see the Cruise issue, but it stems from much more than simply "He's a Scientologist." |
|
There is indeed a school of thought in acting that the most effective acting is playing yourself. Spencer Tracey famously talked about this, and George Clooney says he follows that model. |
|
I can't fantasize about banging a chick if she's a Scientologist, it just totally ruins it. I'd rather catch the clap than Scientology. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

#222 by yotsuya Yeah, but in Gaggy's case, it sounds more like "Wait, she's a Scientologist? Screw that!" more than "She's done W, X, Y, and Z., what a goofball!" Not seeing the difference. #10 - Why not both come out of a window?

There is indeed a school of thought in acting that the most effective acting is playing yourself. Spencer Tracey famously talked about this, and George Clooney says he follows that model. Right. But I don't ever remember Scientology coming up once in an episode of The King of Queens. |
|
There is indeed a school of thought in acting that the most effective acting is playing yourself Jack Nicholson must be a real asshole, then. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
All actors are egotistical drama queens. Otherwise they wouldn't be actors. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

Celestial impact freeware 3d shooter So you lot, anyone tried it? Up for some muppetry ? |
|
Looks interesting but I doubt I'd enjoy it a lot once the novelty wears off. It's more fun to play in a cleverly designed and balanced level than to just run across dunes all the time. Reminds me of Starsiege. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
I watched "Rocky Balboa" and was surprised I didn't hate it. Then again, I'm a huge sucker for sports movies. There is just something about hearing "Gonna Fly Now" that is irredeemably charming. |
|
Also, BSG was great. |
|
Indeed. but watching changes every fact
and your curves are best described by mathematical approximation anyway so I use fingertips to trace our play |
|
bsg was awesome. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

**********SPOILERISH QUESTION ************** The Six that Athena shot was the Boss Six, no? And not the Baltar six from the brig. Athena couldn't tell them apart? Funk. |
|
She was Boss Six if I was following correctly. |
|
***************BSG SPOILERS *********************** Which Six was killed by the Boss Six? Also, I think I need a primer on which Six is which and where they are now. |
