THE CURIOUS INDEX, 5/16/2011

PrintDID YOU REALIZE THAT YOU WERE A CHAMPION IN THEIR EYES? Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; Dan like it's DANPOCALYPSE on earth:
The Dan don't lie, but perhaps one other prominent Dan does deal in promises of the hyperbolic variety from time to time to cadres of his closest allies and well wishers:
We owe you a championship," Mullen said in front of about 150 at the Columbus County Club. "The people of Mississippi deserve that."
"Just remember, please hold off on cashing this check for one million dollars until it's appreciated to full value in 2085."
Unfortunately Cthulhu deals not in the scales of karmic justice but rather in but the absolute value of OWNAGE and OWNAGE alone. College football's a cruel mistress like that.
SUBTERTROLLING IS WINNING At the same Georgia Bulldogs alumni function in Greenville, South Carolina that saw UGA basketball coach Mark Fox brag he'd "yet to visit a tattoo parlor in Athens, and don't plan to", the stalwart of dependency that is Mark Richt found himself bated into some next level, pocket-veto style pacifist trollgaze action:
Dowdle didn't make Richt answer the question. But when it came his turn to take questions, a fan jumped in with an even more pointed question, closer to home:
What would Georgia do about the practice of over-signing - as in bringing in more recruits than they have room for, and then eventually running them off.
Richt and the Georgia administration have said before they dislike the practice and won't do it. A few other coaches in the league have defended it, and the issue will certainly be on the front-burner this summer.
But Richt, in his customary polite way, began by bringing any crowd members unaware of the issue up to speed.
"Some coaches ..." he began, before a voice from the crowd interrupted.
"Nick Saban!" a fan yelled out.
"Well I won't say," Richt said.
TODD GRANTHAM'S NEVER KISSED A LIVING LEGEND, NOW DID HE PAWWWWWWL?!?!?! THAT'S ALL I HAD TO SAY. I'LL HANG UP AND LISTEN.
Speaking of the intricacies of trolling, nothing like strolling into a troll gunfight with a trolltank. Game, set, match WaPo.
THE RIVALRY NOT EXISTING IS FINE, THANK YOU. New Pitt head coach Todd Graham is all about re-launching Pitt's long dormant rivalry with in-state foe Penn State. Despite waxing nostalgic on everything that made the rivalry great during his childhood, Graham admitted when asked if he spoke to Paterno about renewing the rivalry, Graham replied, "No, no, I did not. No, I did not. But I gotta get rolling, guys." He then put on his leather jacket and slid in through the window into a 1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z as is customary as the University of Pittsburgh's highest grossing employee.
I THINK THAT BEARS LOOKING AT YOU FUNNY, MAAAAN. On a cold January morning, Buffalo's heir apparent to Drew Willy and a spiritual leader on the team that saw Turner Gill's Bulls complete one of the most improbable program turn arounds in modern times sat thinking about what his life really meant. Zach Maynard openly wondered if there was a purpose to it all, or if it wasn't just a long, extended series of random chemical synapse firings that resulted in his finding himself in the Hoth like confines of Buffalo, New York that very night. He then quickly realized Berkeley, California had multiple organic pizza places including one that delivered until 4 am on week nights thus sealing his decision to transfer cross country and enroll at Cal. That decision culminated in Maynard being named Cal's starting quarterback over the weekend. No word on whether the chillest of chill brah coronation celebrations that ensued had a gluten free option or not.
HE MAY NOT TRUST ATM'S, BUT HE WAS AS TRUSTED OF AN ASSET ON A SIDELINE AS YOU'LL FIND Sure his final decade as head coach in Michigan failed to match the luster of his first, but Lloyd Carr ranks up there amongst the class acts to ever roam a sideline. After an emotional weekend that included his finding that he'd been named to college football's hall of fame as well as having a wing in a hospital named after him, Coach Carr is now free to return to being retired which likely mostly consists of fly fishing, wearing fresh swag like this and celebrating Monday's the only way one should.
RESURRECTING THE U BEGINS BY BRINGING BACK THE CANES OF YESTERYEAR* (* = MAY OR MAY NOT BE BEING BROUGHT BACK TO START A CROSSFIT CHAPTER AND/OR FIGHT CLUB) Miami Coach Al Golden is out of Jack3d but he knows precisely how to score more: invite former Hurricanes players back to the program under the guise of unifying the past and the present. Really, they're bound to need to work out eventually, and surely they're likely to bring the Tropical Fruit Punch flavored mixture of focus, intensity, and raw fuel necessary to maximize returns on chest/tricep day. Step 1) Score Jack3d Step 2) ??? Step 3) Profit.
JUST WAIT UNTIL HE SEES THAT VAPID PIECE OF CRAP BIG LOVE FINALE Despite going into the season as one of the Ducks' biggest question marks, the departure of Jordan Holmes may prove to be less of a blow to Oregon with former no. 2 center recruit in the nation Hamani Stevens set to return from a two-year mission trip. Here's hoping he's never seduced by the dark side of cigarettes and Bud Diesel.

The only time I ever had pizza in Berkeley:
1. The pizza place only operates after the cheese store closes, as it started as just kind of a thing the cheese guys did after work.
2. It’s a co-op. Duh.
3. One type of pizza per day.
4. No, man, we won’t tell you ahead of time what it is.
5. Cash only
6. Pretty sure it was always vegetarian. It certainly was the day I went.
7. Yes, of course they have beer. Yes, of course it’s local stuff.
8. Seating is limited. Sitting in the grass in the median is illegal and ubiquitous.
HEY GUYS HEY GUYS HEY GUYS
I KNOW THIS PLACE ERIK IS TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE IT’S LIKE REAL CHILL AFTER A FAIRLY AGGRESSIVE NIGHT OF PARTYING AND TALKING ABOUT THE LAWN REMINDED ME THAT THE REAL COMBO THERE IS WHEN THEY PUT THE GRASS ON THE PIZZA THAT STUFF IS LOCAL TOO AND IT’S FROM THE EARTH SO YOU KNOW IT’S HEALTHY AND THEN YOU CAN GO SIT ON THE MEDIAN ACROSS THE STREET AND THE BERKELEY COPS PROBABLY WON’T BOTHER YOU ‘CAUSE THEY’RE PRETTY COOL FOR COPS BUT IF THEY DO YOU CAN JUST REMIND THEM ABOUT FREE SPEECH AND STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY AND TELL THEM THAT’S JUST A SHITLOAD OF OREGANO ON THE PIZZA SLICES MAN

Yes it's sad, but...
As someone who was finally treated for crippling ADHD in my 20’s, I can’t help but feel a little relieved for subdued Calvin. True, the cartoon would have sucked balls like this, and we could debate whether his behavior stemmed from overactive imagination or pathology, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s “everything that’s wrong with the country.”
But I’m looking at it through a pretty narrow lens here.
And on the other hand there is my brother, who also has pretty bad ADHD and tried medication after seeing how well it worked for me. He hated it. He’s in a creative field and it turned him into boring Calvin, so he stopped taking it and does fine.
Errr, sorry for getting all serious and shit, I love Calvin and Hobbes exactly as it was, I just can’t discount how miserable a life with ADHD can be.

If you can get by without help
Then you should. The meds are hard core, hard to get, and I find that I build up a tolerance distressingly quickly.
I can only speak for myself, but for me the worst part is how exhausting it is just existing, while accomplishing nothing. I call it “Racing the Red Queen” (don’t know if I made it up or heard it somewhere else), because it’s like you have to run as fast as you can just to stay in the same place. It sucks the life out of you, and can lead to a nasty cycle of depression and anxiety.
So yeah, a lot of people have the short attention span/random/hyper aspects of ADHD, but there is a dark side too that most people don’t tend to associate with it.

Rec for truthiness
As someone who has been on meds for ADD since first grade (fifteen years now), I have pretty much developed an intense reliance on Adderall. I ran out of the pills at one point during the fall semester this past year, and because of a mix-up with the mail order pharmacy company we get the pills from, I was without the pills for about one month. During that time, I felt like I was caught in that cycle you just described, where I was spinning my wheels at a million miles per hour, while accomplishing nothing. It took me the entire spring semester to get myself out of that academic hole I dug for myself during that one month.
I have never felt that the medication has “smothered” or “stifled” any part of my personality, put instead, I think it helps me redirect my energy to more constructive uses.

"The Red Queen's Race" is from Through The Looking Glass
and refers to running as hard as you can to stay in the same place:
“Well, in our country,” said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhere else — if you run very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.”
“A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

Absolutely....
I’m thankful that I’ve been able to get by, but I completely understand people who haven’t. I’m lucky in many ways- I had teachers that knew how to occupy me, I have parents and friends who understand that I just don’t “do” calm, and I haven’t had to battle the depression part that you mentioned.
Frankly, I’m scared of any sort of medication, because there’s a history of addiction in my family, and I’ve dealt with some terrible side effects from painkillers for surgery in the past. I know in my head that those are not really the same thing, but in my heart, they’re all associated, and I want no part of it.

Fortunately, in the case of Adderall,
About the worst thing you can do is get really skinny (it’s also used as an appetite suppressant/weight-loss drug). I was on it in HS and was a rail.
My only argument is you're stupid.
by boddagettaflyer on May 16, 2011 3:20 PM EDT up reply actions
That would be terrible for me-
All the women I talk to already hate me for this, so I might as well let you guys in on the “secret”- I simply cannot gain weight, and I have to eat a ton to hold onto it. At first I thought it was a growth spurt/college athlete thing, but it really isn’t. I’ll get a head cold and not feel like eating for a week, and I’ll drop 5-7 pounds. So anything suppressing my appetite could be dangerous

Didn't work for me
Finally a side effect I can get behind, and nothing. Of course I was pretty skinny when I started it, but still.
And there are other side effects of adderall, but anyone interested can google it. And it can be terribly addictive.

I run my practice a little different, because it bothers me too
No short visits, and we probably talk on average about the meds for less than 25% of the total appointment time. I think I probably spend more time taking kids off the prescriptions that have been started by other providers than starting new ones.

I think Psychiatrists are definitely smart enough to see the problem- talking isn't rewarded enough
the fifteen minute prescription dril has become unsettlingly normal, but it’s become the only thing sufficiently compensated for because of its measurables. Glad to see that some folks are pushing back on the front lines(frankly, the psychiatrists I talk to are all profs, and their perspective is not the same as a lot of clinicians)

Everything is about to take on a greater significance. The things that are unsettling to you now are about to become terrifying. The things that bring you joy are about to become the most wonderful things in the universe that must be shared with someone. Your time alone is about to become simultaneously the thing both covet and dread. Sleep will be a distant memory.
Most importantly, you will learn that somehow, through some unexplained force in the universe, there is now a being that can make all of your anxiety and stress melt away with a smile. Your biggest goals and aspirations are now single minded, to create a better life for your child.

Far Side will always have a very special place in my heart, but a lot of good internet comics are tangentially related in principle
I can’t think of anything current and good that is in the mold of Calvin and Hobbes.
Agreed.
For me the two will always be together as they ran in the Daily Nebraskan during my undergrad. Then they ended within a year of each other, and I was very, very sad.

this looks to be an especially pleasing summer. Our current drought compounded by recent wildfires will really add that little something extra to the 100+ heat we should be seeing the next few weeks (that’s right, weeks). We dont have the humidity of SEC country but we do have the red-ozone days where the stiffling heat is trapped by smog rather than moisture.
We’ll take your winter and raise you a Texas summer.
Depends on where in Texas.
I survived last summer in Austin (20 consecutive 100-degree days) without ever feeling like I was going to melt (worst that happened to me was burning the bottom of my feet playing volleyball in the apartment complex’s sand court after work; I couldn’t walk normally for two days and couldn’t wear shoes for a week). Lack of humidity makes even 105 tolerable; Minnesota rarely hits triple digits but when the dew point is 75 it doesn’t need to hit even 95 to feel like hell.
And if you live anywhere south of Dallas, you know absolutely nothing of winter. (Even Dallas only has a mild inkling of what winter is, but Austin … no, one 2-inch snowfall per year does not qualify as “winter”.)

It’s much easier to picture one’s foes as evil and inhuman if you’ve never shared a pint glass full of bourbon, although this doesn’t apply to people from UofA because this premise assumes they’re people.
I watched about half an episode the other day, but I couldn't get into it
Seemed kinda slow (but maybe I saw a bad episode)
Heute, Ich bin ein Kreuzschlüssel.
Definitely slow.
I don’t think I would’ve been sucked in had I not watched the three episodes back to back to back because one of the biggest draws for me is the character depth. It also has multiple story lines which flow at just the right pace.
It’s the lady’s new tv crack and she forced me to watch in the beginning. Now I look forward to it.

So I'm not the only one that hates Vegas?
It’s like a more expensive Phoenix to me. Tripping up there from ASU always seemed ilogical since we already drank all night on a regular basis, gambled with one another aplenty (or at Indian Casinos), eaten at buffet restaurants, and there are plenty of gun ranges and strip clubs within a short drive of our house, not to mention the hot and arid climate.
My late teens and early twenties were a rough and tumble time so maybe people who don’t act out on a regular basis feel the need to do so in a far away place, but I’ve never seen the appeal of WOO PARTY VEGAS other than to say you’ve been.
It’s much easier to picture one’s foes as evil and inhuman if you’ve never shared a pint glass full of bourbon, although this doesn’t apply to people from UofA because this premise assumes they’re people.
Vegas, to me, is basically "what if Ed Hardy designed a town"
Anything you’d want to do in Vegas, you can do in New Orleans, with better atmosphere, better food, and a nonzero chance of being killed and eaten by swamp people. I mean, why the hell not?
"Well, if that ain't a show, I'll kiss your ass." - Gov. Jim Folsom Sr. (D-AL), 1948-52
I will say this for Vegas...
…their restaurant quality is top notch, and has gotten much better over the years.
Heute, Ich bin ein Kreuzschlüssel.
This. I ate so fucking well in Vegas.
Also, I like to leave a trail of debauchery in my wake of places I visit. Did New Orleans twice. The second time was better than the first. I feel like Las Vegas owes me one.

I love New Orleans. And there are plenty of things NO has that LV lacks, such as mosquitoes, humidity, and an overabundance of huge fucking roaches.
I’d honestly rather party in New Orleans, but prefer living in Vegas. At least in the off-season. Proximity to good football is going to be an issue in the fall, but at least it’s pretty cheap to travel from here.

It is a tradition dating back to antediluvian eras that November be reserved for studying for the grueling kinesiology exams and sportive contests to determine who shall possess the sacred piece of metal nailed to the holy piece of wood. Therefore, we must decline your overtures on behalf of the Pennsylvania State University. If you persist, we shall send you an even more strongly worded letter.

Hopefully, this means Columbus moves to the Eastern Conference...
And my team might actually have a shot at the playoffs
"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
"My favorite play is Dave. It involves a long pull, deep penetration, and pure power." -Jim Tressel
It's a possibility
Supposedly Detroit is first in line to move back East. I really don’t want that to happen, I like ‘em right where they are. I’ve also heard Nashville to the Southeast division too. I think Columbus would make sense in the East though.
I'm not sure Detroit wants to move anymore...
and I’m not sure the NHL would let them move, either- they’ve got quality rivalries in the West, and they fill up all those Western Conference arenas every year.
As for Nashville, that’s definitely a possibility, but they’re also in Central Time, so that could cause some sort of weird issues. I can still hope for Columbus to move…please please please please
"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
"My favorite play is Dave. It involves a long pull, deep penetration, and pure power." -Jim Tressel
Detroit wants to move
Getting out of the west would give them a somewhat easier road to the Finals. The only problem becomes the alignment in the East, because who the hell goes into the Southeast? Detroit? Doubtful. The southernmost team in the East that isn’t in the Southeast already is Philly. If Columbus is the team that jumps they’d be the team that goes into the Southeast, I’d bet. I’m extremely curious to see how this shakes out.
Yeah, that's the other issue- Detroit has nowhere to go in the East.
They don’t fit anywhere in the Northeast or the Atlantic, with the rivalries and with geography. And you can’t really send them to the Southeast.
Columbus and Nashville are both reasonable to send to the Southeast, and it seems to be a toss-up to me. Nashville is further south, but also Central Time. Columbus is much more Midwestern, but are in Eastern Time.
Furthermore, Columbus is also significantly closer to most of the teams in the East, since they’re mostly Northern and Atlantic Seaboard teams
"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
"My favorite play is Dave. It involves a long pull, deep penetration, and pure power." -Jim Tressel
I always heard that there was some sort of shadowy wink-and-nod agreement between the Wings and the league
That the next time the NHL realigned, the Wings would be the first pick to move back into the East. Of course there’s absolutely nothing out there to corroborate that, so it’s probably just more of the usual tin-foil covered Detroit bullshit.
Well, they are an Eastern Time Zone team in the West.
So is Columbus, though, and Detroit does actually have rivalries in the West. As nice as it would be not to have $Texas 10pm start times a year, I think I’d rather keep Detroit in the West.

Have him ship you the real Guinness that you can only get in Ireland.
It’s better than the imported stuff

The problem is that the Guinness you get in Ireland is only different because it's fresher
Shipping, combined with the fact that a keg of Guinness in Ireland doesn’t last very long, is what knocks it down a notch or two in the first place.
It's not pasteurized.
Anything they ship out of Ireland has to be pasterized. The keg Guinness you get in Ireland is not, so it changes the consistency a little- it’s “creamier”
Not sure if the canned/bottled Guinness in Ireland is the same or not.

SO MUCH RIGHT HERE
Guinness in Ireland = liquid bread.
Guinnes from the tap in the U.S. = okay if it’s fairly fresh.
All other forms of Guinness draught in the U.S. = SHITE.
The Extra Stout tastes okay from the bottle here, but I absolutely 100% will not ever drink another Guinness Draught from can or bottle. It’s a worthy attempt, but it fails miserably.

The recipe is slightly different
designed to increase the shelf life, but other than that you’re 100% right

Good, girl.
They don’t go, they don’t get stuff.
Also, thanks for the note. I need to re-up both of mine.
And we were singing, hymns and arias...
One of my students went
and brought me back 2 glasses from the brewery – I’m pretty sure he didn’t buy them…

Not as much Guinness flavor as I would have liked but damned delicious nonetheless.

Are they trying to be funny and edgy like Page 2 on the WWL is supposed to be?
Because it’s just as stupid.
I'd prefer Nate Newton's van and contents within.
It’s much easier to picture one’s foes as evil and inhuman if you’ve never shared a pint glass full of bourbon, although this doesn’t apply to people from UofA because this premise assumes they’re people.

Buffalo news on EDSBS
glorious day.
Cal is probably in trouble Maynard is a light skinned Jacory Harris, when in doubt throw it to the other team to get some quality phone time with the Offensive coordinator.
Plus you cannot trust him as a decision maker, Buffalo where you can drink to 4am, vs Berkeley where you can soberly eat organic pizza at 4am, 3 hours after the bars close, he definitely made the wrong choice.
Kent State, Temple, Akron too, they can't do it like we do.
Falcons, Bobcats and Redhawks talk a lot can't back it up.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY AD AGENCIES IN BOULDER
your welcome for your inexplicable fact of the week
The twitter
Anfield Asylum, sbnation's very own open zoo for the most dangerous game: Liverpool fans
"Voetbal is pas totaal als je wint"- Coach Adun
"The greatest sin is to spurn the gift"- Coach Alistair
Watching Maynard pilot Jeff Quinn's SPREAD OPTION DICKTRIP offense would be slightly less painful
Than watching Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich have higher yards per play averages for runs than passes.
