Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Will Never Top Michael Jordan

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 1/18/2012

YES WE WILL POST ANYTHING CATLAB MAKES.

Let us just say that the unfair depiction of Weis as a scooter-bound MDMA addict in this video is unfair and inaccurate. Now that his hip surgery is complete, he will be mobile with the use of a cane for the fall football season, and still completely addicted to MDMA. (Florida's MDMA happens to be particularly good, thus all the sitting this season.) NONE OF THIS IS TRUE.

EARLY AND CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE OF FUTURE TRENDS. 2012's very premature do's and don't's are up at the mothership, and if you get nothing else from it you get the enduring image of Tyrann Mathieu with wombat perched on his head. The wombat is also holding a molotov cocktail, because wombats are intemperate, violent creatures, and even more so when you nail their feet to the top of a football helmet. Phil Knight is a GENIUS.

MILES ENDS HIS SILENCE IN A RAIN OF SUBCLAUSES AND DANGLING MODIFIERS. Coaching genius and timelord Les Miles denied all rumors of an LSU locker room argument prior to the national title game, instead insisting they took the field as they always did during the 2012 season: led by 45 unicorns, walking backwards, and farting glitter with each step.

FOR THOSE WHO REMEMBER HIS WORK AT WAKE FOREST. It will come as no surprise that Jim Caldwell was fired as coach of the Indianapolis Colts, or that the conversation to fire his dull ass took seven hours. Matt and ourselves took a turn at simulating just how horrendous this conversation was, but frankly even a fictionalized account of the tedium probably doesn't come close to the real thing.

In other NFL news: Jacksonville clearly wants energy at the special teams coaching position, guys!

YES, THINGS MAY CHANGE. There are two schools of thought in the SEC's ongoing rescheduling shuffles: one, that losing permanent cross-divisional rivals is imminent, and ours, which is that there's no way they're going to touch Auburn/Georgia and Alabama/Tennessee, and that everything else is probably fair game. Either way, Blutarsky and Hinnen are unhappy about it in two different objections to the ongoing mutation of the SEC.

GET SMARTER. And also watch the video of Larry Fitzgerald blowing the shit out of a Cover 2 with the slant option variation on Smash.

Yep, clams up during big games but seems still beat UK pretty regularly in recent times.

having it happen once is one thing, UK has gotten this type of treatment for the at least the 5 years. It usually plays the most favorable SEC schedule. Regardless of how that is an ESPN problem, it is something that other coaches have previously mentioned as well. CKS isn’t the first, nor will he be the only one.

If being a professional is completely antithetical to the entire concept of collegiate athletics, why draw a distinction based on which sport you played for money? The idea behind amateur collegiate athletics is to keep money out of influencing players, but we’re going to let you be a professional in one sport yet still be an amateur in another?

Just go to wikipedia to find out!

Seriously, it’s to make Web pages feel more like applications without having to do a lot of page reloads. That is the short, simple answer.

The comment system here uses javascript, for example, instead of having you reload the page to check for new comments (usually; sometimes a bit of ranch gets into the browser and you have to reload anyway).

by softbatch on Jan 18, 2012 11:31 AM EST up reply actions  

It's the code embedded in web pages

that makes drop-down boxes, puts the cursor in the correct field on a form, stuff like that. It can get very complex, too, but that’s a common basic use. If you have it turned off, or blocked for unknown web sites, those things won’t work.

Apparently Wikipedia is using Javascript to enforce its blackout.

Somewhere, underground, was a small society of still-smart people using the idiots as entertainment and possibly slave labor. Not Sure would have been a threat to them, since as dumb as he was, he was still 100 times smarter than the rest.

Would have been an interesting movie.

"The Marching Morons"

by Cyril M. Kornbluth

“The Marching Morons” is one of Kornbluth’s most famous short stories]; it is a satirical look at a far future in which the world’s population consists of five billion idiots and a few million geniuses — the precarious minority of the “elite” working desperately to keep things running behind the scenes.

Preferably shorter.

Attractive women with very little hair is incredibly sexy to me. I recognize this is a minority taste, but it’s one which I hold strongly enough to be essentially a fetish; it’s almost impossible for me to be attracted to a woman with long hair. I can acknowledge their beauty, but when it comes down to it, I just do not find it sexy at all.

You're still not at that level.

The typical MAC school requires several million dollars from student fees to cross-subsidize the athletic department. Staying in I-A mitigates the loss.

To me, the biggest long-run threat to MAC athletics is that students at our institutions — state schools that don’t cater to the wealthiest folks in the world — will figure out that over the course of four years, their student loans are almost $4,000 bigger to support an athletic department that most of them don’t value enough to actually attend games.

My two “simple” fixes for small-ballers are (1) ending 1-AA wins counting toward bowl eligibility and (2) requiring teams to play at least five road games in order to be bowl eligible. Over time those two changes would do more to make us more competitive with the big conferences than anything else you could feasibly do.

Not really sold on the odd stack (3-3-5, or whatever)

It’s given up an average of 28 ppg in bowls since Casteel first implemented it back in the early 2000s. It’s works pretty well when your talent is much better than the other team’s, but a few adjustments (see: UGA, 2006 Sugar Bowl) and the other team is off an running. As badly as WVU beat Clemson, they still gave up 33 points (26 if you don’t want to count the garbage time TD).

OT: whoever was asking about Red Tails yesterday,

did you see this New York Times profile of George Lucas?

Still, [the director of the movie, Anthony Hemingway, who made his name on TV shows like "The Wire"] wasn’t sure Lucas was taking this film in the right direction. "I always felt it was much more of a mature film," Hemingway said. "I felt if you’re going after kids, you have to go through the back door." But Lucas persuaded him that if they made "Red Tails" as a kids’ picture, at some primal, emotional level, they would connect with the adult fanboys.

As the nicknames [of the two protagonists] suggest, Easy respects army brass and plays by the rules; Lightning bristles at authority and blows up German warships when he chooses. Hemingway told Parker and Oyelowo to imagine they were portraying the famous cleavage in the civil rights movement. "The theme that consistently came up," Oyelowo says, "was that I was Malcolm to his Martin."

After Hemingway finished his shoot, "Red Tails" entered a two-year postproduction phase. Hemingway returned to TV; Lucas worked on additional scenes and effects. The movie still felt a tad reverent, so in early 2010, Lucas hired Aaron McGruder, the feisty creator of the Boondocks comic strip, as well as a famous "Star Wars" fan [who later accused Lucas of racial weirdness in the prequels]. So the man who accused Lucas of racial klutziness found himself supplying dialogue for Lucas’s Malcolm-and-Martin passion project.

Indiana Jones movies have always had the element of the improbable.

Sean Connery downs a Messerschmidt with birds? Magical Indian dude reaches into someone’s chest and pulls out a still beating heart? The truck chase? The raft that bounces out of the plane into India?

What sucked about Crystal Skull was that it was somehow a dull Indiana Jones movie, not that it had bad physics.

true. I must tell you about this class though.

As a grad student, the last fucking class I ever have to take is an Undergrad Inorganic Chem class (because i never took one in undergrad). Two weeks in, we’re still on chapter two which is STILL FUCKING GEN CHEM! To top things off, most of that class is juniors and seniors, who barely remember that stuff and there are 11, count them ELEVEN OF US who are grad students who sit in there and are practically slamming our heads on the desk because this is the shit we teach.

For those who don't feel like looking it up:

it’s basically an online black market you need special software to access (it’s in the “Deep Net.”) And by every account I’ve read (as I have no desire to actually surf the Deep Net/get a visit from the Feds) it’s pretty tame compared to a lot of the stuff out there.

Seriously, If you feel like losing even more faith in humanity, try to find some accounts of the crazy bastards who’ve actually poked around on the Deep Net. It’s insane.

I had a big plan to trick my (former) fiance since she had already figured out where I was going to ask her.

Blindfolder her, drove her around a while to make her think we were going someone for a surprise trip that was far away, went back to campus to the spot I was going to ask her, was JUST about to take the blindfold off… then bells at Samford Hall rung and gave me away. So my tip/horror story is just take it in stride and enjoy the moment. It might not go exactly as you planned, but that will probably make it all the better. Relax, don’t stress, and congrats!

while not a proposal story

my first academic paper presentation was at a bi-annual department meeting/drunk fest at my university. i was nervous, but didn’t want to seem it, so i brought along a pint glass and a can of guinness, kind of as a prop. as i’m being announced as the next speaker, i open the can and it explodes, covering me and the two people sitting next to me in beer.

after sitting stunned for 30 seconds, i grab some paper towels, dry myself and my neighbors off, pour the rest of the beer into the glass, and walk up to the podium. imrpov that the beer had been my father’s suggestion and that it had worked out about as well as the rest of his advice (not true, btw, luv ya dad) and went on with the paper.

after that i was never nervous about a paper presentation again, as it could not possibly go worse.

so if you have some embarrassing thing you can fall back on as a “no matter what happens, it can’t go worse than that other thing” it might help your nerves.

best of luck!!!

I have about a 50, and a 5 travel. It could fit more

but I’ve got some quality Monte Cristos in little glass vial/cases in the top shelf that I haven’t smoked yet. That top one could hold another 20 if I removed those. So it’s probably more along the lines of a 75. The problem is that Cigar International is running a “Make Me an Offer” deal on certain cigars. So I started making low-ball offers on some cigars I was curious about (Monte Cristo Media Noche and Diesel Shorty) and then sent in another for Drew Estate’s Dirt Natural. And had all three offers accepted.

I think I went through 42 last year.

So that’s one every 8.7 days, so I guess I could be a weekend smoker.
But I generally smoked 1-2 at tailgates/post games and 2-3 at outdoor parties (NYE, WLOCP Pre-Party, etc) so I may have only actually smoked once/twice a month in reality.

With it being so intermittent, I tend to shy off of buying large quantities as they may sit for a month or two. I’m not going to argue the person who tells me that like wine I should age certain ones for up to 3 years. I’m sure it helps, but I do not have the setup or the will power to do so at this time.

Find a good humidifying source, first.

I use the small vents with sponges in them that you soak in propylene glycol, but others are acceptable. Have a new hydrometer ready, as well. You can get a good electronic one cheap using that same Make Me an Offer site on cigarsinternational.com. Once you have those ready, take everything out of your humidor and wipe the wood down with a damp cloth. Place the humidifying source and hydrometer inside. Give it about two weeks. Then put everything back in. You may want to wait a little while before you smoke them to let them get back in shape, but if they’re not bad right now, then you should probably be fine.

I was going to say buy 3 cans of the gel and a bottle of prop glycol.
Wipe with cloth, then refill and put in with two cans open. Watch it close (check every 3 days) and make sure the gel is full and/or not being dried out by wood/cigars starving for moisture. When you’ve gotten the interior settled (no adding hydro for a week or two) just toss the two that were in there and use the third solely. Check at least once a month and refill with glycol. A single can of gel should last you a year (drain and refill) before it starts to just not work as well. But the can is like $4, so it’s around a penny a day, just replace it.

But it also depends on the size and type of humidor you have. Obvs if you’ve got some kind of fancy glass, 100+ unit, yeah, get a nice fog system. If you are like me, you keep them in a cheap Yukon box in a drawer in the china hutch.

I'm impressed with the commentariat that there have been no "humidor" jokes

…but the Clinton years WERE a long time ago.

Pretty sure I've posted this before

And apologies for posting a picture of myself. But here’s me with my Georgia Southern “True Blue” poster with a cigar underneath the Bill Clinton statue in downtown Pristina, Kosovo…
