DBD 1.12.09 I Am Witty, Yet Urbane

P1_marshawn_tiny by TwistNHook on Comment 379 comments

While on vacay (vacation for those not forced to watch Legally Blonde ten to twelve times a week), I had a lot of free time to write jokes.  I have mentioned this previously.


But I failed to mention how I wrote quite possibly the greatest joke in the history of organized comic timing.  The key to writing a good joke is balancing both the broad and narrow aspects of it.  A broad joke, as the name implies, is one that might be appreciated by everybody in the world.  A narrow joke is one that might be appreciated by a much smaller crowd.  The purest narrow joke would be an inside joke with only you and a few friends.

Generally, narrow jokes are the funniest and wittiest, because as you appeal to more and more people you have to de-witty and de-funny it to make sure all get it.

For example, if you were to go to another blog and write "This" after all the posts, they probably wouldn't find it funny.  Ok, bad example, because even here, nobody finds that funny.  Nobody.  Ever.  Not even HolmoePhobe and I'm pretty sure that guy is the biggest humor slut in the history of humor and sluts.

Every now and then something comes along (like Seinfeld) that can write broad and witty jokes and those people make a LOT of money.  I am not one of those people.

But I did manage to write one joke that is unprecedented in both its broadness and absurd wit.  It's like an onion, you unpeel it and unpeel it and each time you see the joke from a different angle.  You can't just experience the joke once, you have to see it from all the different angles.  Like a fine wine, you have to really let it sink in and settle and then appreciate it. 

 

Ok, are you ready for this joke.  One so amazing, so unbelievably, so broad, yet so witty?  Are you ready for this joke, ready to unpeel it layer by layer to see all the different prisms of hilarity inside?  If you, LET'S DO THIS THING:

 

Just grab another dudes boob and yell "HONK!" really loudly.

 

OH MAN, just thinking about it makes me el oh el.  I mean, you'd need a team of 15 Daily Show writers to come up with witty, yet urbane stuff like that.  I dont know how I did it.  I dont know how I did it.

As a minor aside, make sure ONLY to perform this joke on dudes.  No need to get sexual harrassment on your record, is there?  You can perform it with women around, but just be careful not to do it on a woman. 

This, of course, leads to the Air Honk.  The Double Honk.  The Double Air Honk.  You can't lose with quality stuff like that.  So witty.  Yet so urbane! 

So, feel free to use this joke.  Try it out on your family, your friends, your co-workers at the nunnery. 

And, hopefully, like an onion, it made you cry.  From Hilarity!!! NAILED IT!

Rugby slaughters Lumberjacks:

BERKELEY - A dozen Golden Bears scored a total of 16 tries as California won its season opener over Humboldt State, 103-0, Saturday on Witter Rugby Field.

A sparkling day greeted fans in Strawberry Canyon to see the 2009 Bears take the field, and Cal did not disappoint, playing sound rugby against a Lumberjacks team that has been a perennial participant in the Division II postseason.

Lumberjacks head coach Alex Lundberg, a Humboldt State graduate who played on teams that advanced to the national quarterfinals in 2004, final in 2005, semifinals in 2006 and quarterfinals in 2007, said, "When we play Cal, they always look the same. It's just really good, solid rugby."

Humboldt State took a crack at a three-pointer for the posts out of a scrum to get onto the scoreboard from the Cal 25-meter line in minute 11, but the attempted dropkick was blocked by Eric Fry. The senior lock exited the match with a cut above his eye seven minutes later, but after the match said, "It looks like it could the beginning of a good year."

 

Mens Divers perform well:

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. - The No. 4-ranked Cal men's swimming and diving team had a strong performance from its divers Saturday, Jan. 10 at the Bruin Invitational in Los Angeles. The Golden Bears were led by sophomore Tom Henninger, the November and December Pac-10 Diver of the Month, who placed second in the one-meter event and third on the three-meter board.

Henninger, who has already qualified for the NCAA Zone meet in both the one and three-meter boards this season, narrowly missed winning the one-meter competition when he was edged out by Stanford's Dwight Dumais, 323.90 to 323.40. Cal has some other divers finish well on the one-meter board as freshman Joe Quattrocchi placed third (280.40), sophomore Taylor Dehn placed fourth (273.10) and freshman Bobby Sullivan was eighth (258.20).

 

 

Womens gymnastics opened season:

BERKELEY - The California Golden Bears women's gymnastics team opened its season Saturday, Jan. 10, with a 7 p.m. tri-meet, hosting Sacramento State and UC Davis at Haas Pavilion. Sacramento State, posting a team score of 191.975, edged UC Davis and Cal to win the team title.

Cal had a strong showing in the beam with senior Jessica Kelley taking second with a 9.675. Sophomore Avery Gee was third with a 9.625.

Kelley, who placed fourth in the floor exercise with a 9.725 and fifth on the bars with another 9.725, finished third in the all-around. Junior Sophia Hocini was fourth in the all-around, followed by sophomore Stephanie Cheng in fifth who posted a personal best all-around score.

In all, the gymnasts had three personal bests in events, and both Cheng and Avery Gee had personal bests in the all-around.

 

Womens BBall wins:

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Senior forward Ashley Walker scored 14 of her 20 points in the first half and pulled down 10 rebounds and No. 13 California won its fifth straight game with a 62-34 victory over Washington on Sunday.

Walker, the Pac-10 leading scorer who moved up to second place on the Cal career scoring list during Thursday's 68-45 win over Washington State, shot 6-for-10 and was a perfect 7-7 from the freethrow line. It was the tenth time this season she scored 20 or more points in a game. The ten rebounds gave Walker her fifth double-double of the season and the 39th of her career.

Senior forward Devanei Hampton added 10 points and eight rebounds and junior guard Lauren Greif grabbed eight boards for the Golden Bears (13-2, 4-0 Pac-10), who were far from sharp in shooting just 41 percent and committing 21 turnovers.

Liz Lay scored 11 points to lead sloppy Washington (5-8, 1-2), which had to be happy to leave the Bay Area after a tough weekend that also included a record 77-point loss at No. 11 Stanford on Thursday night. The Huskies combined for 69 points in their two losses.

The Huskies committed 18 turnovers, were outrebounded 45-26 and fell behind big in a hurry and couldn't recover. Washington went 7:30 between its first and second field goals in the opening half and trailed 32-9 at the break. It was the lowest scoring first half in school history, beating the 12 points the Huskies scored in the first half of a 77-42 loss at Stanford last season. They shot 3-for-24 and went 0-of-12 from 3-point range.

T-bred does…he’ll likely chime in some point today. Although I have a feeling that article is more of the same we’ve been hearing:

“It’s tough to choose between Cal, SC, and Texas…I mean Cal’s facilities makes it hard to say ‘no’ to them. I’d committ for sure if Sarah the Cheerleader would go on a date with me.”

I feel like USC and Texas fans aren’t concerned at all that he’ll come to Cal. Like they have completely written us off. It’s understandable considering we’re not exactly on the same level as USC and Texas, but still… Kennard keeps listing us as one of his 3 finalists. That’s gotta mean we’re not completely out of the picture, right?

Same Old... although the writer didn't leave Cal out at all
Devon Kennard thought he could put things on cruise control.


Five-star Devon Kennard is still trying to make a decision.
The five-star defensive end had narrowed his focus to a few schools – USC, Texas and Cal – and had completed his run of official visits. Now, it was time for Kennard to simply sort through his options and make the best choice before giving a commitment, possibly as early as last week.

But, as tends to happen in the world of recruiting, Kennard was thrown a curve recently when Southern Cal went through a shake-up in its defensive coaching staff, elevating secondary coach Rocky Seto to defensive coordinator and hiring Jethro Franklin for a second stint as the program’s defensive line coach.

When that news went public earlier this week, it forced Kennard to take a step back. The Phoenix Desert Vista product was closing in on his final decision, but he now has to go through more evaluations of each program and try to get a feel for the new-look USC staff. Kennard, who did talk to Franklin on the phone last week, said recently that his plan is to meet with the Trojan coaches in person in the next two weeks (as well as another visit with the Texas staff at either his school or home), and a decision could be pushed back until signing day if necessary.

That seems to infer that Kennard was close to a USC commit until the defensive shakeup there, right?

This was written for the Texas fansite… He met the new coaches and liked them a lot…

The rest of the article seems to imply that he has to re-evaluate SC, not that he was close to committing. He just needs more time to make a thorough judgment, now that new guys are coming in

Right now, I’d say it’s SC, Cal, Texas in that order

To me…it sounds like Cal was 2nd/3rd…but now maybe the gap is closer.

BTW…“Jethro” and “Rocky”…perfect names for defensive coaches

If we don’t get him, who’s our rush LB (or Follett replacement)? Or will Cal use a variety of blitzing LB’s to get a 4th and 5th rusher. I like Cameron Jordan as a rush LB until I considered that his only value would be to rush the passer and this takes some of the guessing and beauty away from the 3-4. So…my best guess is that we won’t have a traditional rush LB but instead will have any one of the 4 LBs rush the passer on any given down. That sounds confusing especially considering Oregon and Oregon St will be replacing key O-line pieces.

One of the JC LB recruits I think it slotted in for that spot right now. The new Davis maybe?

Jarred Price is the JC recruit that has the best shot at that position, i thought.

Might be him too. I don’t remember which and don’t feel like looking it up…

by turkey on Jan 12, 2009 10:52 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

All of the JC recruits are in the mix

And some of the returners (Mohamed, maybe, but he’s too much of an asset as a utility player to be the consistent pass rusher)

You ain't got it like Marshawn got it

by Thoroughbred on Jan 12, 2009 10:56 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I doubt MM is going to consistently play the Rush LB spot. He’s also great in coverage.

by turkey on Jan 12, 2009 11:10 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

If we get Kennard

Cal’s strongly moving toward “Rush LB U.” Having players like Kennard and Follett help attract similar players for future years (like our RBs).

Not good

I received this e-mail this morning. For those doing research on the UC campuses beware.

LETTER BOMB THREAT TO RESEARCHERS

An animal rights group has claimed that it has sent letter bombs to two UC
Davis researchers. The UC Davis Police Department, Davis Police Department
and other agencies are investigating the claim, and no suspicious packages
have yet been detected.

The claim was made late on Saturday, Jan. 10, in a posting on an activist
Web site. Police notified the two researchers named in the posting, both
affiliated with the California National Primate Research Center, early on
the morning of Sunday, Jan. 11.

“Such threats against our researchers are unacceptable, and we condemn them
in the strongest possible terms,” said Stan Nosek, vice chancellor for
administration at UC Davis, who is responsible for oversight of animal
research and care on campus. Nosek urged anyone with information about the
bomb threat to contact the UC Davis Police Department at (530) 752-1727.

All researchers, faculty and staff are advised to be vigilant in handling
and opening mail, and to look out for suspicious packages, such as parcels
that are unusually shaped, wrapped with a lot of tape or have excess
postage. For information and tips on mail safety, see
http://police.ucdavis.edu/. Anyone finding a suspect package should contact
the UC Davis Police Department immediately.

Research involving animals benefits both human and animal health and is
strictly regulated by federal law. The California National Primate Research
Center is one of eight centers across the nation funded by the National
Institutes of Health. Research at the center includes studies on HIV/AIDS
and other infectious diseases, asthma, autism and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Historically, the Animal Rights Jihad terrorize primate (usually Rhesus monkey) researchers. Although last year UC Santa Cruz researcheres (who use mice) were subject to home invasions.

Research grade animals are bred specifically to do research. They are housed/treated in accords with the NIH protocols. They are most definitely NOT treated like those farmers shown in the Yes on Prop 2 ads. If interested, I could likely point you in the right direction to gain information on animal research at NIH-funded institutions so that you can make an informed decision.

Trouble on The Farm

Wilner on Harbaugh/Dalmen

Reaction II: Whether Harbaugh leaves The Farm, or Bechta tries to use the interview to drive up the price of the extension, this development should put to rest any notion Stanford fans have that Harbaugh is wholly committed to the Cardinal — that he considers Stanford "the ultimate destination," the phrase he used a few months ago on the Dan Patrick Show. I can think of 32 jobs he’d rather have, at least.

Reaction III: Nobody should be surprised by his desire to move to the NFL or begrudge him the opportunity. He spent 15 years in the league, his brother’s one win away from the Super Bowl and here’s Harbaugh, coaching against Arizona in front of 22,000.

Reaction IV: All that said, the situation sure smells of hypocrisy given the manner in which Harbaugh reacted to defensive coordinator Scott Shafer leaving for Michigan last winter. According to multiple sources, Harbaugh stood before his team and sharply criticized Shafer for his lack of loyalty to the program and the university. How did the chat with the Jets go, by the way?
Action: Jim Mora takes over as head coach of the Seahawks.
Reaction I: Seems to me that if Mora wants to bring in his own offensive line coach, Stanford assistant (and alum) Chris Dalman would be a pretty good candidate. Dalman played for the 49ers while Mora was an assistant (late 1990s), and Dalman was an assistant OL coach for Atlanta (2005-06) when Mora was the Falcons’ head coach. Plus, Dalman has proven to be a top notch strategist/teacher with the zone-blocking scheme he’s deployed on The Farm.

Reaction II: If Dalman left, yes, it would be a huge blow.

Wilner also has Cal at # 18 in men’s hoops.

flatscreen HDTV question

My TV technology is a little behind the times. I’ve got this awesome large wall above my wood-burning fireplace that screams “carp, buy a HiDef flatscreen TV and make it a large one. And by large, I mean I want it to feel like Marshawn’s in your living room and it scares the baby.” Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself.

Anyway, the question is this: is it possible that smoke and heat will ruin my flatscreen TV? What’s the best TV to get for this situation? Will I be able to enjoy my TV AND fireplace at the same time without fearing the worst?

If you have a Costco membership, they’re a great place to buy HDTVs. They usually have sales on a few models per week and their prices are great. Furthermore, they extend the manufacturer’s warranty to two years (they used to have a lifetime return policy until people abused it enough that it was eliminated).

3) Simplicity – my grandpa’s HDTV setup requires you to hit like 45 buttons in order for it to turn on.

I sincerely doubt it will be that big.

But the quality of Blu Ray, when implemented properly, is phenomenal. If you’re going to buy a new tv, you want to take full advantage of it.

Agreed, Blu Ray will be limited by the cost of the discs themselves (though the Blu Ray players are finally falling below $200, with Blu Ray computer drives falling below $100). By the time Blu Ray is cheap enough for a mass market to emerge like what happened with DVDs, online streaming of HD movies may be the norm.

RE: Disc costs

DVDs cost a lot too when it first released.

Give it time, Blu-Rays will catch on

I lost my Blu-Ray virginity when I bought a PS3 last July. I honestly find it hard to watch normal DVDs now.

Just yesterday I (re-)watched Band of Brothers on Blu-Ray… so beautiful…

For the sake of convenience, make sure it has more than enough ports for whatever you’ll connect to it (DVD player, Xbox/Playstation, PC, etc). Spare ports (particularly HDMI ports) are always good to have in case you decide to buy some other peripheral to connect to your tv at some point in the future.

Also, try not to be swayed by numerical specifications as opposed to what the picture actually looks like. Contrast ratio, in particular, is measured differently depending on the manufacturer, so it is a poor number to use to compare models. TVs with a refresh rate of 120Hz are more expensive and usually not worth it. Also, unless you’re getting a TV 50" or larger, 1080p is not worth a several-hundred dollar markup (unless you’re also going to use the tv as a computer monitor).

It’s not a natural widescreen resolution (which is one reason why I don’t like a lot of plasma tvs). It’s 1024×768. For that TV, the horizontal rows of pixels have pixels stretched so that they fit into a widescreen format. What you want is at least 1280×720 or 1366×768 (those two resolutions are almost interchangeable). Try looking at LCD tvs too. They are very competitvely priced against plasmas.

Jenkins on Tha1

Fast-forward now to the fourth quarter of Sunday’s playoff game against the Giants. The Eagles had a 20-11 lead with about six minutes left, and everyone expected them to grind down the clock with running plays. Instead, on second down, McNabb went for the jugular, firing a clothesline strike to Jackson down the right sideline (nobody throws a prettier ball than McNabb, in rhythm, on this route). Jackson made the catch in stride, dancing his way to the 1-yard line, and the Eagles cashed in a field goal to ice the game.

There’s simply no room for the theatrics associated with Jackson (or Terrell Owens, or Chad Johnson, so many others) when the playoffs arrive. When Jackson looks across the field next Sunday, he’ll see one of the best, Larry Fitzgerald, the classy and supremely talented receiver who caught 8 balls for 166 yards in Arizona’s win over Carolina. Jackson can reach that level, if he really wants it. He took a significant step against the Giants.

Well, Kansas finished the year off strong. I definitely think they’re favourites in the Big XII North.

As for USF, they have a habit of starting off hot, then fading down the stretch. 2007 was a clear example – victories over WVU and Auburn, then they lost to Rutgers and two other Big East teams.

The media kinda roots for them as the 4th Florida power (in addition to UF, FSU, and Miami).

I had a neighbor who had a few nitro-powered RC cars. He would have those things tear up and down the street at 30+mph. I can’t imagine what it would be like if they could reach 85 mph. You’d need a pretty big place to drive them.

ah yes…the biggest problem is a place to race. The street’s too dangerous and is likely to get you a noise violation. I like dirt tracks.

PC P10 POW ....again!
California junior Patrick Christopher has been named the U.S. Bank Pac-10 Men’s Basketball Player of the Week for Jan. 5-11, Commissioner Tom Hansen announced today.

Christopher led Cal to a 57-50 win at Washington State and an 88-85 thrilling triple-overtime victory at Washington to increase the Bears’ current winning streak to nine games and a perfect 4-0 record in Pac-10 play. The Compton, Calif., native averaged 24.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists while shooting 53.3 percent from three-point range.

Against the Huskies, Christopher scored a career-high 27 points and tied his career high in rebounds with 11. The junior ranks seventh in the Pac-10 in scoring (16.1 ppg) and is tied for ninth in three-point field goal percentage (.417).

This is the second consecutive weekly honor for Christopher and the 41st overall for Cal.

That’s pretty good considering that the Holiday Bowl is a premiere bowl, the Alamo bowl is typically an exciting game and this year, was fun to watch, and the Champs Sports Bowl? Well, it sucked, but it had Wisconsin and FSU – two big names.

I think he’s also from Isi Sofele’s HS (Cottonwood). The Bears seem to do well at one out of state high school (like Chandler, AZ). I bet they’re very respectful of HS coaches and keep them in the loop with e-mails, phone calls, mailers, etc.
