Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Sucks hard to be the 8/9 seed
« on: March 21, 2011, 11:21:14 AM »
So says The New York Times, in this wonky analysis:

Essentially Flyertalk / Prep Boys (strange movie)
« on: March 21, 2011, 10:25:12 AM »
Have any of you guys ever seen Prep Boys? I saw it years ago on the college channel at NYU (alongside other "classics" like Pink Flamingos) but it just popped into my head today. I don't think I've met anyone else who has seen it.
It is perhaps the strangest movie I've ever seen, but it might fit this board's sense of humor. The movie is basically a failed musician mocking a mentally damaged guy. Anyone else ever seen this? Anyone?

HAY GUISE! Why did you take away the option to delete your own posts? Most of what I post is pure drivel, and sometimes I want to delete something after I post! Sonofabitch.

Kansas State Football / Pinstripe Pak (official thread?)
« on: December 06, 2010, 01:17:10 PM »
This is the thread to hatch plans. Or not, if you don't feel welcome in NYC.
It's probably time to get on board this thing, folks.
Who has game tickets (I don't have mine yet), and when are you traveling?

When this flash game was released, I used to waste hours (literally) of my workday playing it. Great soundtrack!
Any of you other bros? Am I alone on this one?

Kansas State Football / Your second-favorite player on the team?
« on: September 19, 2010, 09:54:12 AM »
A/k/a the Brod Smith love thread.
My favorite thing about Smith is his downfield blocking. It's ridiculously good, and it jumped out at me in the first game. I also love how he keeps getting open by running precise routes, and yesterday's f-you push-off move.
I hope he keep playing as hard even though he knows he won't get the ball in his hands...

I want KSU to score more points than UCLA in this game.
Is that too much to ask?

Sonofabitch. I've held off on saying anything critical about Coffman being our starter, but man, he's a chump.

fracking hell, how does this happen?!!? Other than the Billy Walker stuff, the best day I've had as a Knicks fan in the last 9 years was the day they finally fired this half-wit. I've been looking to buy a Billy Walker Knicks shirt, but now forget about it.
And how does a college coach get to work for an NBA team in his spare time? Seems like all sorts of conflicts of interest. If I was FIU, I'd be pissed.

Essentially Flyertalk / What is Heaven like?
« on: August 04, 2010, 04:11:02 PM »
I haven't been to church/studied theology enough to know this.
Do you hang out with all the other good people you've known in your life? Maybe spend your time guessing why those who went to Hell didn't make the cut (lifted a copy of MAD magazine back in 6th grade). Also, since Heaven is Christian, are all those who lived in pre-Biblical times in Hell now (so no cavemen in Heaven)? Do you spend your time intervening on behalf of those good people on Earth who need help? Is that enough to fill your time for all eternity?
Yeah, this is vaguely jokey, but I really have a hard time imagining what this would be like. I think I'd prefer reincarnation.

Essentially Flyertalk / Etiquette Lessons
« on: August 04, 2010, 11:56:59 AM »
Based on some things I've seen in the last 2 days, here are some lessons. This stuff is valuable, but I'm giving it free of charge.
1) Don't chew with your mouth open. And don't eat while riding on the elevator with others -- you can wait a couple minutes for your feeding. Particularly, don't chew your damn crunchy pretzels with your mouth open while you're on the elevator with me. OK, thanks.
1a) Don't smack your gum.
2) Don't clip your nails in public. Particularly, you shouldn't clip your toenails in public. Even more specifically, don't be a white-haired dude sitting in your baggy briefs in the gym locker room (by my locker) clipping your damn toenails while your junk hangs out your briefs. Nobody thinks that's OK.

Essentially Flyertalk / Help me michigancat!
« on: July 08, 2010, 10:51:01 AM »
OK, so every summer, there's a free summer concert series in Brooklyn with bands that I haven't heard of until just after I've missed the show. Anyway, which of these shows will be the ultimate best?
7/11: Deer Hoof & Xiu Xiu performing Joy Division's Unkown Pleasures, Why?, Fang Island & Pictureplane
7/18: Murder City Devils, Obits, Jeff the Brotherhood & Silverghost
7/25: Cap'n Jazz, Lightening Bolt, No Age (I've heard of them) & The Death Set
8/8: Cut Copy, Memory Tapes, Glasser & Restless People
8/15: !!!, Lee Fields, The Strange Boys & Future Islands
8/22: Chromeo, The Suzan & Telephoned
8/29 [unnamed top band], Delorean (I've heard of them) & Dominique Young Unique
The first one looks good, but it might be too damn hot this weekend. HELP, please!

What's this fake clams guy going to do to impress people now that he's out in the real world? The options are literally limitless, I guess.

Essentially Flyertalk / Stupidest Dinners
« on: April 19, 2010, 11:50:04 AM »
Was looking at the delicious dinner threads on the cooking board and thinking back on stupid dinners I've had in the last couple of years -- even though I do try to eat healthy, usually. These probably top my list (these are three separate "dinners" on different nights):
- Container of mint Newman-O's cookies.
- 2/3 bag of Doritos + apple.
- Beer. (I've done this one more than once.)

Is just for suck-ups and losers, right? I probably wouldn't have gone anyways, even if Jessica B. hadn't said no. And I know for a fact that Chad asked after I did, so they can just go off and die together for all I care.
Anyone know where I can get some beers, though?

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / I predicted Frank would go to Elite 8 when he was hired
« on: March 29, 2010, 03:45:03 PM »
I said I figured it would be in his third or fourth year, after he got all his recruits into the program.
Or maybe I said Frank would fail miserably. Hey, who's to say at this point, right?

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / How is KU not still in this tournament?
« on: March 27, 2010, 11:17:27 AM »
As I was watching the other NCAA games over the last couple of days, I was thinking that other than KSU, Kentucky and Baylor, it's a bunch of mediocre teams is all that's left.
So I also got to thinking: How in the world did KU manage to lose in the second round against this field? The Hawks had a team that was primed to waltz to the NC -- a senior pointguard, an experienced center and great size all over the roster. I mean, that's the recipe for a championship right there. The #1 team for most of the year. Now most of that will be gone next year. To quote Dave Armstong, "Wow." I just gotta shake my head at the fact they lost in Round 2. You have to feel for the Hawks over this epic wasted opportunity.
