My Offical Blogg

[Anti-Polar Bear]

This will be my offical blogg. Ive pondered about starting a my space but is too lazy. While I sit bored at work, here I am. Please just read, no need to reply, unless you have too.

5-12-06 at 12:48 PM ET
Dear Blogg,

I am at work right now. I am finished with my last project. The boss doesnt have a new project for me as of right now. I am bored as hell. This site is slow with updates. Well, any way lets hope time passes soon. I cant wait until 5 PM when im done, so i can go home and smoke some weed.

[MadtownPacker]

Im hooked!!!!!!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

5-12-06 at 12:55 PM ET

Dear Blogg,

I am still bored. The boss is in a meeting, so i have nothing to do. I dont want look like I am lazy because i know i gonna have to ask this company to write me a reference someday when i apply for the Packers GM job. I am not a good actor but i will try my best to act like i am working hard.

[Bossman641]

More, I want more

[Little Whiskey]

tank, let me post your next entry.


dear blog, its five minutes later. blah blah blah i'm board. blah blah blah tt sucks. blah blah blah smoke weed, blah blah.

sound about right?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

5-12-06 at 1:75 PM

Dear Blogg,

Still no new project but I have to do data entries, which is boring as hell. I'd rather do nothing than do data entries. O well, that is the price you pay when to try to make your resume look better.

I have to go for now. Cannot let the boss catch me in here.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

6-12-06 at 2:56 PM ET

Dear Blogg,

I am taking a break from the data entries. I only have 10 minutes. If the boss is not looking i can maybe go pass 15 minutes. I am still bored. What is up with the Packers?

6-12-06 at 3:30 PM ET

Dear Blogg,

The more i work on the data entries, the more i feel like a robot. I just type and type numbers and figures onto a program.

What is the meaning of human being when we all are just robots? That question lingers in my mind as i sit in front of a computer. Isnt it ironic, I sit in front of a machine and yet i am a machine myself.

Dear Tank,

This is riveting. I Love your blog. But it's probably because you're suffering a little bit. I don't think it would be nearly as amusing if you were having fun. Keep up the good work - no pun intended.

p.s. They say idle time is the work of the devil. I say it gives you time to work on Ted Is Trapped In The Closet - Chapter 362.

Dear Blogg,

Just 41 more minutes to go before i get to go home. I am excited because it will marks the 1st time today i get a smoke. Anyway, i still have a box full of data to put onto the computer. Boss said i should finish it 1st before she gives me a new project. O well.

Dear Blogg,

I got off work at 5 PM today. I planed to get high the rest of the night, since I am so tired from work. But at the last minute, i decided to go play some basketball. Man, black people sure are good at basketball.

I wish my game was as good as Jason Williams, but unfortuantly it is not. Still, i was the best defender at the gym, thanks to me refining my game after my hero Dennis Rodman.

Game was ok. We won some, we lost some. Time to get high now.

I wish my game was as good as jason williams:

Hmm. You don't think that it might be that those fellows you were playing against just might practice a wee bit more than you?

also, isn't this a poor opinion for a card carrying liberal to have? Aren't you supposed to be a little bit more accepting than this? I haven't been to any liberal meetings lately, they don't like me there :wink: , but isn't one of the platforms being non judgemental to everyone except conservatives and christians? :mrgreen:

That is okey, retail guy. Basketball is a sport in which African Americans excel. To combine basketball and "black people" is more complimentary than offensive. After all, when one think of basketball, one automatically think of the good black folks.

I could be wrong, though, and if i am wrong, please somebody correct me. I am a liberal and i dont want anybody perceiving the wrong idea.

You're wrong, I'm not black and I took offense to the way you said it. I'm sure you'll find out who is black and who is not via this posting....

Guess we'll also find out if "intent" matters.... :wink:

Let's ask Mobb. I am sure he is around.

IMO, me saying that black folks are good at basketball is like black folks saying white folks are good at NASCAR, or other races saying the Chinese are good at karate.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Well anyway, as i am a liberal, lets just put the race stuff aside. I will try to watch my language next time, and i apologize if i have offened anyone.

(on a side note, john Lennon was as much of a liberal as anyone out there and he once called women the "n-word of the world." Don't believe me? just ask Harlan)

I was not offended because I came into this thread with the appropriate expectation level.

Dear Tank's Blogg,

I feel tank is a closet conservative. Not only does he work for the man, he lives in washington and will probably someday have a good job bringing home a high 5 figures, and will show his true colors when some money starts rolling in. I also feel he has dollies in his pocket.

[Little Whiskey]

its almost 10:30 am in Washington, do you think Tank's boss found him posting on his work terminal that he was going to get baked last night and sent him in for a drug test this morning. now he might be bored and jobless. damn man trying to hold him down!!

Wrong. Made a mistake on an entry and had to go back through piles and piles of data to correct the sole error (the boss told me too). That's why I couldnt check in until now.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

6-13-06 at 11 AM ET

Dear Blogg,

Today is the same as yesturday. Data entries again and again. I am half way done, though, because I worked very hard yesturday. I deserves a raise but this job only last until Auguest so i dont think i can get a raise. Well, back to work.

[MadtownPacker]

Oh man, Im so glad Tank didnt get shitcanned. I wonder what is going to happen today?

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm having a deja vu moment.

I want to read the Blog By Tank's Boss.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

6-13-06 at 12:50 PM

Dear blogg,

I am back from lunch. The boss is not here so i can goff off a bit. There is a pretty girl here who i would like to ask out, but is afraid becasue I could lose my job. I read the company rule book and they do not allow intra-rommance. What should i do?

[retailguy]

Gosh, I'm so glad you're back. This is riviting.

there is a silver lining here, that is when you get to be "the man", you won't have to hide your browser window. Of course, by that time you'll also be a conservative, and realize that when you look at your employee, you know, without seeing, that they just "hid their browser window"..... :smile:

Retail guy, i know you are a boss yourself, and you probably installed hidden cameras at the office to spy on your employees, but here i dont think theres any hidden camera. I am confident the boss dont know i am checking in here when i should be working.I dont really know though, she never say anything.

Dear Blogg,

Still working on the entries stuff. I am very bored. Yes I am. I am taking a break and then will go back soon. Sorry, this is not a very good post.

[Partial]

you do realize as an intern they don't expect you to work 24/7 in data entry, right? My boss always tells me to take a break and stuff because they know how mind-numbing data entry can be.

No need to install cameras Tank. I was an employee, and still am to lots of clients.... I know what they are doing, that's the same thing I was doing when I was someones employee. It is just a fact of life.

Today, I try to motivate people to want to do their jobs, by recognizing accomplishment and delegating "fun" things too. It works with some, and doesn't with others. They typically move along rather quickly.

I know I've poked a bit of fun at you, but I am enjoying your escapades.

Just be careful, big brother can be watching without cameras. If they've got IT people, they've probably got computer logs of what you are visiting and how much time you're working.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Yes, my boss is like yours too. When I worked the burger joint in HS (how else could i have gotten money to buy weed? Once my parents found out i am buying the good stuff with my allowance, they stopped giving me money) , the boss there never give us a break. We jsut work and work and then go to lunch/dinner and then work and work again.

This is not bad, compared to then (though then i only worked part time).

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Just be careful, big brother can be watching without cameras. If they've got IT people, they've probably got computer logs of what you are visiting and how much time you're working.

Holy shit, why didnt i think of that! Well, i am just an intern so they probably wont care much. I am not being evaluated, i think.

[Scott Campbell]

Once my parents found out i am buying the good stuff with my allowance, they stopped giving me money.

Sounds like child abuse to me. Did you contact Social Services?

[Partial]

how big is the company? no way are they checking it if its a big company. Like there are thousands of people at this office that i'm in right now, and I know for a fact the IT people don't check what I do (I worked in IT for the company last summer).

Not big. My guess is, 40-60 employees (i work wtih the finance/accounting department, so i have no clue about the exact number). We only have 3-4 IT people, i think.

Waaaayyyy too expensive. Lunch and ice cream have a better effect on morale, they're a lot cheaper and a lot more fun.... :D Just try showing up at the office with ice cream sundaes for everyone when it is 80 degrees outside. Nobody is ever on a "diet" at that moment.


I don't like Anthony Robbins, but some of the other guys are OK. I'm much more receptive to those types of things if the employee brings it to me with a good reason.

And so another day has passed. I am too shy to ask the pretty girl in the marketing department out. I am afriad of getting turned down. I've been turned down before, i know, but this prettty girl could be the one. Sometime i am confused between love and sex. I dont know which one i want more.

Forget the pretty girl, ask an ugly one out. She'll appreciate you more, and she'll start to look good after a while.

I am absolutely not attached to ugly girls. I like nice looking girls. I am not going pay for sex. No way jose. I have studied opportunity cost and that would mean sacificing, likely, 2 weeks worth of drug money for what, a night with a whore? I've seen Pretty Woman but that movie convice me nothing. I like my sex free.

I will get to it.

[Harlan Huckleby]

There is no such thing as free sex. It's just a matter of how you pay.

Oh, if you're dating, you normally get three free rides. But then the expectations and demands start. Are you really ready to change, Tank?

And lets say you are swept along, decide to commit to the full package. Are you aware that there are two (2) ring purchases needed to close the deal!? A diamond engagement ring is just the down payment. Six months later you're buying a gold one.

Before you know it, you're driving a station wagon full of kids smearing popsicle sticks on the window.

Tank, how is the "opportunity cost" of that pretty hooker looking now? You can go top-shelf call girl and still come out way ahead.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Thanks for the wise words, Harlan. But I believe there is a better alternative: single night stands. I did some research on the cost of certain "call girls" and the price ranges from $250-$450 for half an hour. I am in a college environment, so there's plenty of horny girls looking for experience. Say dinner for 2 cost $20, two movie tickets cost $15 and hotel room cost $80, altogether equals to $115. That's more economic than hiring a prostitute.

Of course if your goal is to get laid, then hiring a prostitute might be the better option since not all girls are willing to have sex on the first date. But as a man of virtue, I'd rather take my chance than have sex "unethically."

[GrnBay007]

Tank, do you get paid for this internship?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Tank, do you get paid for this internship?

Yes, but not much. When you take into account the fucking high cost of living in DC, there isnt much leftover. But i should have enough to buy drugs (note: although i dont do it every day, I love to experience the high of coke-can)

Why the curiosity?

Why the curiosity?

Either things have changed a lot or the college I attended was just pretty wacked. When I did my internship I worked 40 hours a week, no pay and was on call on weekends whenever the person I was following was on call. It lasted an entire semester. I see people coming in to do internships where I work and they only do a certain amount of hours and they can just make their own schedules. To have money to live on I bartended and waitressed 4 nights a week ....after my "regular" job....internship. I was fried at the end of that last semester.

I've been busy all morning with entries, so therefore, I was not able to post on here. I met the pretty girl whom I like liked in the break room. Our conversation went someting like this:

Me: Hey Angela (not her real name), what is up?
Angela: Hey Ty (my real name, short for Tybalt), nothing much; just working.
Me: Oh cool, see you later. (I walked out).

APB, you can have a one night stand with anyone you want, just use your imagination, a dark room, and five fingers. But if you want one night stands with women for just sex, that's what you'll get - meaningless sex. Women (and surprise! men) actually want love more than sex. I'll admit that men are far mor interested in sex than women (especially after women have children), but finding meaning in the world outside of sex and drugs, actually requires one to sacrifice at least some (or the frequency of) base or caranal pleasures.

Life is a mystry sometimes. Are we controlled by fate? Or do we make your own fate? Wish me luck becuase I will be needing it.

Hi Mazzin.

This smells like teen angst. You should be working from a position of strength.

Dear Blogg,

I have nothing to do right now. I am bored. But with nothing to do, I can think. I am thinking about how i can cofront the pretty girl later today. I am not confident but i will try. Like Coldplay said, if you never try you'll never know. God, i love Coldplay.

Don't do it Tank.

Give her the cold shoulder for a few days, act like you don't even notice her. Like Mad said, she will wonder what's up with you. Pay more attention to other girls. Then later on start up with her. She will be yours.

[Bossman641]

Come on man. YOU'RE Tank. You shouldn't be nervous about her, she should be nervous about YOU.

Dear Blogg,

At lunch today, I asked the girl out. She said "yes." We will go out Friday. I told her the plan: dinner, movie, clubing, my place for the hot thing.

I am being false. In reality, she said she just broke up with her last boyfriend recently and does not feel like dating as of know. As a fan of the X files, i dont know if i can trust her on that. Is it just another way of saying no? I am sad. I will write a song about her later.

[Partial]

play her hot and cold and shes yours. Girls crave attention.

[Deputy Nutz]

See, you should have just asked her for drinks as friends, and let her get stupid drunk and then she would have slept with you as an emotional outlet from the disappointment of her past breakup.

[jack's smirking revenge]

Tank, lets here more about what makes you tank. Give us some more details. Some longer, infinitely excellent entries!

Sorry, dont have the time between breaks to make longer posts. In case you are wondering , my real name is Tyler, but I prefer Tybalt because he is my favorite Shakespeare character.

Wow...you real name is Tyler too?! How cool! I thought it was Tank!

Oh you can still do it just tell her that you don't have many friends in D.C during the summer and that you would just like to hang out.

Ok, I'll be real honest. My name isn't Tyler. I don't really like the name and am saddened that you're burdened with the name. The only true Tyler that I know is the son of a friend of mine who is blind, partially deaf, has mental retardation, is autistic, has major birth defects and spends his days playing piano and bouncing his head back and forth on couch cushions. No lie. Sadly, when I think of a Tyler--other than Edward Norton/Brad Pitt from "Fight Club"--I think of him.

I dont think she is a football fan, so she likely would not care about this forum. Besides, I dont want her to think i like to swear a lot. I onyl going to be here til Augest, and probably her too, so even if she goes out with me, not sure what would happen after that. But damn, i want her.

Don't give up so easy. I suggest you go to her cube or office every hour or so, and ask her out again until she says yes. Women really like it when you follow them home too. Makes them feel safe.

Haha, yeah right. My freshman year in college, i followed a chick I liked after class back to her room a few times since i was curious where she lives, and i wanted to ask her out; she almost filed a stalking charge against me. Luckly, she allowed me to explain everything. We became friends but thats all. I never get to do her.

Advice from Vince Vaughn in Wedding Crashers, kinda....


Janice, I apologize to you if I don't seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating. I don't like the feeling. You're sitting there, you're wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating enough, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested? I'm not really interested, should I play like I'm interested but I'm not that interested but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested but now she's not interested? So all of the sudden I'm getting, I'm starting to get interested... And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it's awkward, it's like well goodnight. Do you do like that ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your ass sticks out cause you're trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don't kiss them at all? It's very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you're just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions? Perhaps play a little game called "just the tip". Just for a second, just to see how it feels. Or, ouch, ouch you're on my hair.

[BallHawk]

Tank, maybe she was put off by all the Mike Sherman posters in your cubicle?

Anyway, don't stalk her, but don't ignore her. Maybe you should play the "I've just happen to have an extra ticket to a Coldplay concert" card. Does she like coldplay?

[CaptainKickass]

Does anybody like Coldplay?

Sounds like he already got some "Cold Play" from the chick he was allegedly stalking.

[Deputy Nutz]

Thats a good point Tank. Ask her to a concert or an art showing, you know as friends. It doesn't have to be spectacular, even to see a band in a downtown bar. Either way pay for the tickets or the cover charge. That way she owes you. Be careful how you collect, refuse any kind of cash payment, this has to be subtle, just say, "Hey, just let me know when there is a band that you want to see, and you have nobody else to go with."

You can't be pushy, but the point is to get as many moments alone with her, lets just call these opportunities "dates" even thought they are the last things you want to call them infront of this girl. She won't like it.

i can't answer the numbchuck, or comp. hacking metaphor, and bowhunting isn't a metaphor. chicks like dudes who cant take care of them and the "family". the whole hunter/gatherer thing. show her you are the hunter, the alpha male, not some sissy who gathers berrys! take her to the archery range and show her you can take the beast at 75 yards with a long bow. let her see the gun rack and she ask to see your "gun" alpha male tank. rember you must be the alpha male

[the_idle_threat]

... or ask if she wants to come over and watch "Deliverance."

[BallHawk]

Maybe you should take her to a place where a lot of the people are real spastic and ugly. Then she'll realize how good you are. Maybe the Smithsonian?

[MJZiggy]

Tank, why not try taking her to one of the multitude of free things going on in DC. That place is always crawling with stuff to do. Tell her you'd like to go to the Renwick to see the Grant Wood exhibit featuring American Gothic, but would feel weird going to see it alone. Last time I was in DC, we went there and the level of detail in his work is really cool. Now you can say that you've heard it was really good and you thought she might like it. Then take her as a friend and come up with the next free simple thing to do in DC. If nothing else, at least you get to see a famous painting.

I rarely go out much in DC; so never been to some of the place you are talking about. I would rather stay at home and smoke weed with the roommates. DC is an ant farm, very class conscious. If you're at the top or near the top, life is good. At the bottom, I am not sure exactly but from what I've witnessed of homelessness and based on my feelings, it seems depressing. DC, like most large cities, is composed of poverty, crime, hate, class division, politikcans, economic inequality, high cost of living, and bad traffic.

I've been to a few Wizard games, and a couple of Redskins games (one against the Pack), Pentagon City (just the mall for necessary shopping), downtown bars, clubs, the FBI building, ESPZone, and stuff like that. Most of the time, though, I just hang out around campus.

Dear Blogg,

The boss gave me more entries before she go on her 4 day vaction. She is not here today but her assistants have eyes on me, so I can not goof off much. But I dont have to pretend I am working so hard, although I do work very hard some times. It helps me stop thanking of the girl i liked. about 40 minutes before lunch time. I will see if i can engage in a conversation with the girl i liked at lunch.

Well, thats probably why i am doing this internship. But mostly, I am afraid i will run out of money to buy weed. So I go to college and I work an internship and I hope for a well paying office job in the future.

That sounds like my life early last year--weed, video games, football chatter and metal concerts. Now my life is completely different--far more stressful and complicated. Coming from someone who wishes that utopia could be the best of both worlds, I'd suggest that you enjoy your selfish time. It probably won't always be that way and, at some point, you're going to long to get it back. That time will come sooner than you think. Chill and enjoy. Do what makes you happy because life is too short.

Damn right! In college, we got into the habit of smoking and chilling - got old after awhile. Then, we figured we could actually do shit while high. There's nothing like walking up State Street completely baked or playing bball at the Serf. Now bowling, golf, tennis, frisbee, movies, beaches, etc are ALL better when stoned. Don't let ultra social conservatives strain on your game - do what you want. I find people in this mindset are often less agitated, stressed out which in turn leads to better work performance and utlimately (and surprisingly) a healthier/longer life!

If she does the same thing you do, try asking her for help - girls like feeling smart and important (esp w/ your boss gone). That - or go bitch about the work and see if she knows much about actg/econ - girls like guys who are motivated.

There isn't much happening right now but entries. Since the boss is not here, I am taking more breaks than usual. I've just finished checking out the Perfect Enemy myspace that JSR provided. I cannot hear the demo that turned on automatically because this is a quiet enviroment and i had to turn off the volume after 5 seconds. There are no headphones available. I will listen to the demos later and if i like it i will see if i can buy a copy of their album. Perfect Enemy sounds pretty good from the 5 seconds I've listened.

Anybody think Audioslave is a metal band? or is there a different between metal and hard rock? Or is they an alternatvie rock band? I like Audioslave's out of exile album very much.

Audioslave. An interesting discussion there. I spent last weekend doing shit around the house all weekend long and their new song was played over and over again on the local rock station. I actually started thinking about that too. The new stuff is so unlike Soundgarden and DEFINITELY far away from the power of Rage Against the Machine.

There's a definite difference between metal and hard rock. I guess I would say that hard rock edges closer to pop, has recognizable hooks and choruses and the music isn't as complicated. Metal is about attitude, aggressiveness and guitars. Slipknot is metal; Stone Sour is hard rock. Tool is metal; A Perfect Circle is hard rock. (A comparison driven from the fact that the lead singers are the same for respective bands, but are aimed at different markets, genres).

It's probably more complicated than that, but that's the abridged version.

Thanks for the explanation, Jack. I will check out your links later when i get home. As for audioslave, I know Chris Cornell was formerly of Soundgarden but I've never listened to the band before. I believe Cornell turned Audioslave toward a different direction, away from Rage, because he did not want to be writing politcal inspired songs. Anyway, thanks again for the clarification.

I was a big fan of both Soundgarden and Rage, but I don't get into Audioslave. They seem like a watered-down version of what both bands were in the 90s. Both were amazing in their own right. Soundgarden has sooooo many classic songs. You should check them out sometime. If I were going to recommend a single Soundgarden song, I'd probably say check out "Fell on Black Days" (which, actually sounds a bit like Audioslave). Soundgarden was truly a heavier band in its heyday, with hits like "Outshined", "Jesus Christ Pose", "Black Hole Sun", "Blow Up The Outside World" and "Pretty Noose".

Given your statement about politics, you obviously know what Rage was all about. That's probably why I can't get into Audioslave. Tom Morello, who is the guitarist for Audioslave and was one of the driving political forces behind Rage, seems like a silenced man with Audioslave. He's still a political activist, but he's had to shut up for the sake of making mainstream music and money. I absolutely loved Rage Against the Machine. Still do. For the art they made and for what they stood for, tried to do.

Tank, why not try taking her to one of the multitude of free things going on in DC. That place is always crawling with stuff to do. Tell her you'd like to go to the Renwick to see the Grant Wood exhibit featuring American Gothic, but would feel weird going to see it alone. Last time I was in DC, we went there and the level of detail in his work is really cool. Now you can say that you've heard it was really good and you thought she might like it. Then take her as a friend and come up with the next free simple thing to do in DC. If nothing else, at least you get to see a famous painting.

There's merit in listening to a woman on this one Tank. They've got the inside scoop.

I'd check out "My Wave" just because it's the only Rock song (that I know of anyway) ever done in 5/4 time.

Good post, jack. I agree with everything you wrote regarding Rage and Morello. I pretty much like Rage too and the things they stood for, although if i were to start a band today, it'll be more Coldplay-ish. That's why I enjoy Audioslave. I like listening to metal, but I guess I enjoy the softer stuff like Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Keane, The Verve, etc., more. Everyone have their own taste, obivously.

Dear Blogg,

I am still doing entries. As I do the entries, I cannot hide my anger regarding the outcome of last night's Mavs-Heat game 5 NBA final matchup. The Mavs were robbed, and robbed bed. The Heat's last possion should not have been. First, DeWyane Wade caught the inbound pass behind the line of scrimage, which is a black court violation. Secondly, Wade obivously was seen pushing off defenders after defenders on his way to the basket after the inbound; that was obivously offecive foul. Thirdly, no body fouled Wade as he shot and missed badly with about 2 seconds left. The refs called it on Dirk Nowtizki. I am comm on!

Is the Josh Howard timout a miscommunitaction or screw up by the refs? More like the latter. The refs said after the game that Howard asked twice for a t.o, which howard deined. The refs just want Maimi to win; the NBA too, to get back at Mark Cuban.

Speaking of Cuban, he has every right to be mad. Game 5 was scripted. Mavs were doomed from the start.

Tank, Wade's last play was legit. The foul was a tough call, granted. The refs just got so used to blowing whistles after the HackAShaq bullshit that DTown was trying (Kharma is a bitch). The T.O - clearly Howard called for it and the refs have no choice but to grant it (it's not their decision to call a T.O). The worst part of all this was Cuban's flair up and Dirk acting like Rodman - very classless - I mean what the hell has a stationary bike every done to Dirk.

Don't worry though, Dallas has dominated at home. They'll take care of Game 6 and it'll come down to #7 - home team with a large advantage. Personally, I'm pretty neutral here (I like Wade, Shaq, Payton, Mourning - hate Reilly; Like Harris, Van Horn, Dirk - hate Cuban). My edge goes slightly to Dallas as I lived there for my job for a year and always pull for a Badger over a Warrior :neutral:

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Tank, Wade's last play was legit.

I disagree wholesomly. That was illegit from the very start.

Here's Cuban's owen words:

"You can't be established in the frontcourt, then jump into the backcourt," Cuban said after watching a replay. "My understanding from the rule book is, if you are going to catch the ball in the backcourt, you have to be in the backcourt to catch it. You can't be established into the backcourt after you catch it or that's a backcourt violation."

Nope - Cuban should stick to his job as owner and not referee. I read the official manual from nba.com - Rule 8, Section III, part e:


Any ball out-of-bounds in a team’s
frontcourt or at the midcourt line
cannot be passed into the backcourt.
On all backcourt and midcourt
violations, the ball shall be awarded to
the opposing team at the midcourt line,
and must be passed into the frontcourt.
EXCEPTION: During the last two
minutes of the fourth period and/or any
overtime period, the ball may be passed
anywhere (frontcourt or backcourt) on
the court.

The hell with the NBA rule. the NBA wanted the Mavs to lose. Thats why they suspended Stackhouse and called a foul on that last play by Wade.

But as a stoic, I have discrimplined myself not to envy anything or anyone. I must not desire the things or persons i cannot have, or are out of my control. That is one tenent of stoicism.

I wonder if Superman ever embarrasses himself when talking to Wonder Woman, with those really tight tights on?

If Wonder Woman's jet is invisible, how does she find it and use the controls?

I understand that Superman is very strong and can leap many miles, but how does he fly in a straight line? Doesn't he experience the forces of gravity? at least the Hulk (MARVEL, Inc. TM), when he jumps many miles, follows the expected parabolic trajectory. Superman makes no sense to me.

I tried to be a stoic, but I found discrimplining myself to be far too difficult and painful. A lot of people underestimate just how much goes into discrimplining oneself. If I had a dollar for every time I have failed to discrimpline, I would buy a cheeseburger that I have envied for a couple months now. It has sliced pickles and mustard. Heavy on the tard.

Campbell and Campbell, what exactly did you do, I know not. Whatever you wrote, I care not. As posters, the worst we can do is play mind games; my words are psychology to you, if you let it be. With the exception of perhaps the Kentucky (hey, he broke his promise of being "radio silence" toward me), I've never singled out any other poster to ridicules or degrade them. Thompson is a public figure and like all public figures, he is prone to ridicules and sarcasms. You can say anything you like about Sherman, and if I don't let it bother me or if I don't read what you writes, it won't bother me. Its all psychology. Skinbasket is likely playing mind games; I dont even know what he's writing cos I dont read his posts.

Perhaps a little Shakespeare will help:

Al Davis is an owner. He is the employer, not the employee.

I can't believe your boss said something to you. I work for fortune 500 company, so its big and half the people I see are surfing the net. That surprises me. I would say I surf the net 10 minutes for every hour of work.

Nick, did you check out the new ea sports game, 'Head coach"?

Retail guy should know something about walmart. He probably made his millions by exploiting his employees the way Walmart does.


APB, it is ironic that you mention me with Wal-Mart.... My real name is Sam.... :wink: Just Kidding.

Wal-Mart is the reason that I SOLD my retail stores. I understood how to compete against Wal-Mart. In fact, I located my stores next to them. I sold complementary items that you couldn't get at Wal-Mart.

Example, Wal-Mart sells Barbie dolls. I would not carry Barbie dolls but would carry Barbie accessories to complement the items you could get at Wal-Mart.

Then Wal-Mart started to "broaden" its offerings into the lines I was selling. I saw the writing on the wall, and sold the stores. They went bankrupt about 2 years after I sold because they could not compete with Wal-Mart.

I disclosed the reason I was selling to the new owner (whom I knew) who assured me that he understood the issue and had "a plan". Apparently, Wal-Mart executed his "plan" better than he did.

I returned to accounting after that, and own my own tax firm. My employees are the best paid, best benefit plan employees in my local area. ALL the year round employees have worked for this company longer than I have owned it. There are several temporary employees that come and go, however, thats typical in the industry.

Tank, here's the reality. If you ever showed up at my house, my staff would meet you there and THEY would throw you out, as they love my daughters as much as I do. They are as loyal a group as one could hope to have.

Oh, and the addictive comment? GOOD LUCK with that view. Call me in a couple of years when you need to "kick the habit". I promise that I won't say, "I told you so".... :wink:

Jayo,

Welcome to the forum. Some here refer to "Tank" or "APB" as the village idiot. I however, see that he's a "disillusioned" 20 something who has bought into the 2000 version of the 60's radical. These "free thinkers" have corrupted his brain and he's become the very thing he despises - "A Trained Robot".

This is a PERFECT example of our education system. This is what these fools are doing to our youth. He doesn't have ONE original idea - other than Ted Thompson stinks. Everything else is a "regurgitation" of someone elses ideas.

[Jayo]

Thanks for the welcome to the Forum. I really couldn't help myself, I had to say something to this jackal. At first when I started reading I thought it was kind a funny idea but the more I read the more I wanted to back hand this kid. Enough said! I am not going to talk anymore shit to him but if he opens his mouth I am going to have to put my foot in it!!!! Once again, thanks for the welcome!!!

You are just saying that to avoid losing customers. We all know you are one strict, cost conscious S.O.B.

Mark Cuban is the only boss in the world who treats his employees beyond respect. Cuban made his billions by selling an Internet site to yahoo and then bought the Mavericks and made the players so happy they forgot how to play defense.

I worked for a corporation last summer. This year, I am interning with a LLC. Small office atmosphere. Plus the boss probably was angry at everybody since not much got done last week when she was on her mini vacation.

Dear Blogg,

Got my paycheck today. Man, the DC taxation is high. About 24% of this check went to the government. But what am I to complain? I am a liberal. Even though I am only 1 person, I feel good knowing that my money is helping improve society.

This weekend should be fun.

That was actually his second career. He retired at around 30 or so from his first business and traveled the world for 5 years before starting up the company he sold to Yahoo!.

I'd be willing to guarantee that if you ever make enough money where your taxes equal the average gross income of a family of 4 that you'll slowly become a fiscal conservative and begin questioning gov't spending as much as TT's offseason moves :shock:

Or maybe you enjoy the sickening feeling you get from seeing that a large portion of that paycheck going to programs you'll likely never benefit from (Medicare/Caid and SS). I don't.

Yep, that's me. You figured me out.

If all you had to do was pay 1/2 or 1/3 of the rent, buy some grub and spend the rest on dope, you probably wouldn't miss 24% of your paycheck. Also, remember, the most important tenent of liberalism is to "feel good" at the end of the day. "Imagining" that you are helping someone, instead of dumping money into an inefficient black hole could let you "feel pretty good", you know what I mean?

Remember, Fosco, we're supposed to be letting Tank ENJOY being a college liberal. Don't remind him of the unimportant shit us "conformists" deal with every day. :mrgreen:

BTW, sounds like you need a new Tax man.... :wink:
