DBD 12.21.09 The Most Important Top 10 List EVER!

Avinash's lists regarding the top 10 whatever of the decade caused me to pause for a moment of reflection. My reflection led to a realization, its been nearly a decade since I stopped watching The Simpsons religiously. Initially overwhelmed with joy as I reminisced over all the humorous moments, this joy soon turned to fright as I pondered what I might have missed over the last decade of episodes.
Sure, the edginess of this imperfect TV family was gone after the early 90's, but quality laughs might still have been had. I scoured over 20 lists of the all-time best episodes, and with exception to one episode that aired in 2000 (the behind the scenes parody) all of the episodes listed in the top 10 originated in the 90's. After, back checking the lists' publication dates I confirmed all the great episodes are from the 90's, and I had deprived myself of zero new classics. Although The Simpsons is still a great show, the writers are simply unable to reach the levels of success established two decades ago. In reviewing these top 10 lists, I was also able to establish a top 10 list of episodes most commonly listed in the top 10, aka the Most Important Top 10 List EVER!
After an informal count, the Top 10 most common episodes listed in the Top 10 episodes of all-time were:
10) Treehouse of Horror - I'll start everyone off with a cop-out! The Treehouse of Horror usually appeared once in the top 10 lists, which Treehouse of Horror changes from list-to-list. I'm not choosing a specific episode, rather simply honouring all the Halloween episodes as one body of work.
9) Homer's Phobia - Homer freaks out when a gay man spends time with Bart.
8) Homer vs. the 18th Amendment - Homer starts bootlegging.
7) Homer and Apu - Apu gets fired from the Kwik-E-Mart leading to a complete loss of identity and purpose.
6) Marge vs the Monorail - Marge fights an incoming monorail project.
5) Deep Space Homer - Homer becomes an astronaut.
4) Homer the Great - The Stonecutters episode
3) The Mysterious Voyage of Homer - Homer eats a chili pepper that illicits a psychotropic drug sequence ending with Homer questioning if Marge is his soul mate.
2) Homer at the Bat - Homer plays baseball for the company team, only to be benched for professionals.
1) Cape Fear - Sideshow Bob attempts to kill Bart, but Bart tricks him into singing a musical.

I’ve always been partial to Homer’s Enemy.
“Oh, I can’t believe it. I got an enemy. Me, the most beloved man in Springfield.”
“Ah, it’s a weird world, Homer. As hard as it is to believe, some people don’t care for me, neither.”
“No, I won’t accept that.”
“No, it’s true. I got their names written down right here on what I call my, uh, “enemies list.”" [reaches under the bar for a sheet of paper]
" [takes list and reads it] Jane Fonda, Daniel Schorr, Jack Anderson… Hey! This is Richard Nixon’s enemies list. You just crossed out his name and put yours."
“Okay, gimmie that, gimmie it back. [takes list and writes] Barney Gumble.”

Vote for the 2004 Cal Bears
SF Chron Poll for Bay Area Team of the Decade
See middle of the page on the left. The choices:
* 2000-01 Stanford men’s basketball
* 2001 De La Salle football
* 2002 A’s
* 2002 Giants
* 2002 49ers (cereal?)
* 2002 Raiders
* 2003-04 Sharks
* 2004 Cal football
* 2006-07 Warriors
* 2007-08 Stanford women’s basketball
* 2007-08 Sacred Heart Cathedral girls basketball (Tierra Rogers FTW!)
Praise be to Tedford!
You may laugh, but that 2002 49ers team was the last 49ers team to make the playoffs and that team, don’t forget, beat the Giants in the wildcard round with one of hte largest comebacks in history…
7
I am well aware that the 2002 49ers were the last 49ers team to make the playoffs and I am well aware that was the year of the wildcard classic vs. the Giants. But it still seemed like an odd choice for the list when they lost to Tampa Bay 31-6 the following week in the divisional round. It’s almost an insult to the team’s rich history to include the 2002 team in any such list.
Of course, some people might also point to the 2004 Holiday Bowl as a reason to keep us off this list. (I wouldn’t be one of those people.)
Praise be to Tedford!
Damn, the 2004 Bears might be the best team on that list. Pretty depressing decade for Bay Area sports fans.

Everything in sports is cyclical; once upon a time, Boston sports was miserable and now look where they are at (witness 2007, for instance. An eleven-win Boston college, 18-1 Pats, title-winning Celtics, I think the Red Sox may have won the World Series).
Plus, it feels like Bay Area sports teams are on the rise (minus the Warriors, I suppose), even the Raiders.

Also, the Giants got shut down in Game 7.
There’s a good argument to make for both teams being the best of the Bay Area this decade—both had great seasons that ended in bitter disappointment.

The 2003 Giants were a pretty darn good ballclub (100 victories), which is forgotten because they lost in the divisional playoffs in 4 games to the eventual World Series champion Marlins.

What about the De La Salle football team?
I’m not a local, but it seems like that team was astonishingly good for a high school team. Weren’t they like on like a 100-game win streak? I remember hearing about them playing Long Beach Poly for the national championship—must have been a big deal if I heard about it… What do you local folks (who grew up here) think of that?
Yeah a high school football on the same list as pro teams? That’s a little bush league.

I’m going with the We Believe Warriors, as it was the only team that really injected enthusiasm into the Bay Area.
DLS dynasty is great, although I question the institution’s ‘recruiting’ and academic standards for athletes . Should not be confused with the across the street neighbor Carondolet (the all-girls version). If I had a daughter and could afford to do it, I’d send her to Carondolet. I’d have serious reservations about sending my son to DLS. I want him to play sports, but I don’t be a jock strap only.
‘02 A’s – sigh, a heavier sigh than all of the Sharks’ postseason efforts.
IMO, the talent on the ‘02 Giants shouldn’t have gotten them 6 outs from winning the WS. They should be flag’d for ousting Baker. One could argue that “we’re almost there” mentality caused the Giants to make a series of bad moves since the ’02 Series.
I’d rather eat shit and die than acknowledge a Stanfurd teams accomplishments.
Girls basketball is, uhh, too specialized.
‘04 Cal would be a strong contender if it went to a BCS Bowl and won it’s bowl game. Perhaps even accomplishing the latter point would have been sufficient.

Once again, a coaching decision that made complete sense is derided by the sports media solely because it didn’t consist of HURR LEZ PUNT THE BALL AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.
http://www.advancednflstats.com/2009/12/should-steelers-have-kicked-onside.html
Eh. 60% isn’t a great number. I mean it favors the decision a little, but I’d prefer something closer to 70% before making that decision. Ended up working out for the Steelers (mostly because Green Bay scored so quickly), but damned if they didn’t get lucky.

I really think the problem is that I’m not sure about the 60% number…I mean, I know it’s the historical average, and maybe it’s just from years of watching Andy Reid go for “surprise” onside kicks that always fail, but I don’t see why you’d go for the onside kick in that situation.

What do you think he was doing? “Going with his gut”? “Just chucking it up there”? The idea that instinct is a better way to make decisions than data is ludicrous.
by HolmoePhobe on Dec 21, 2009 10:16 AM PST up reply actions
Based on his postgame quotes, I'm guessing he used his instinct
"I’ll be very bluntly honest with you. Based on the way the game was going in the second half … first of all, I felt like, with the element of surprise, we had a chance to get it. But if we didn’t get it, and they were to score, then we would have the necessary time on the clock to go down the field and score, match their score.
“Plan A didn’t work. We got the ball, but we were illegal, and that was the correct call. But kind of unfolded the way you kind of envisioned it. We had thirty minutes of evidence there to show that we could drive the ball on them. We also, conversely, had 30 minutes of evidence to show they could drive the ball on us. That’s why we took that risk when we did.”

Well, no NFL coach is ever going to admit to making a decision based on statistics – precisely because of the conservative, tradition-oriented decision making culture I’m talking about. All the commentators (most of whom are former players/coaches) would flip out.
Having said that, I’d be pretty surprised if they didn’t take data into consideration. You know as well as I do that this is becoming more and more prevalent in pro sports.

I will defend Bill Belichick’s decision to go for it until I’m red blue in the face, but I really don’t know that I can defend this, given that the Steelers were only up two and a field goal would have won the game for the packers…
7
Yeah, that’s my line of thinking there too. Failing on the onside kick means they’re already at borderline field goal range, so they didn’t have much of a cushion to work with at all.

Math only realistically tells part of the story, though. Come on, you know that just as well as we do.

What tells the rest of the story? Conventional wisdom? We’ve already seen that the CW is wrong on whether to go for it on 4th down.
by HolmoePhobe on Dec 21, 2009 10:11 AM PST up reply actions
What do you mean by “the situation”? The score and the number of points needed to win was factored into that 64% number.
by HolmoePhobe on Dec 21, 2009 10:13 AM PST up reply actions
I’m trying to read through the math right now (including the article that is actually about surprise onside kicks). It really seems that they’re not weighting factors in…
60% chance they recover, okay, but the outcome of that 60% chance is that they have the ball and still have to make first downs.
40% chance they don’t recover (these stats are dubious too — past peformance is not indicative of future results), the Packers are already basically in field goal range to go ahead and win…, which is a far worse outcome.
To stretch this to make my point more clear (and more numerically-quantifiable), if an investment has a 90% chance of making you profit, but only $1, and a 10% chance of you losing $100 (initial investment), then the odds say 90%>10%, but if you weight the potential outcomes, obviously it’s a bad investment.
I am not saying that this is exactly the same thing, but I hope you see where I’m coming from.
7
Yeah, I agree with you, the number is not adjusted for the specific teams in question, etc.
But regarding your example, I’m pretty sure that they weigh possible outcomes (so it’s expected value of victory rather than just the % of a certain action succeeding).
My main point is that ceteris paribus - and you have to assume all other variables to be equal, because there’s absolutely no way of knowing one way or another – if one action has a higher probability of succeeding than other, it makes sense to take that action, because any other decision is completely arbitrary – and I don’t see the logic in making an arbitrary decision over one based on information, however limited.
by HolmoePhobe on Dec 21, 2009 10:30 AM PST up reply actions
I actually do not see them weighing the potential outcomes. In fact, it appears they are using the same math they would in any situation, regardless of the margin at the time.
If one action has a higher probability of succeeding than other, it makes sense to take that action,
And I disagree with this. As I said earlier, it depends on what the outcome is and you have to weigh it. In my investment example above, when you weigh the outcomes, the expected outcome is losing $1. You would be better off sitting on the $100 with an expected return of $0 ($0>-$1) than investing, in spite of the fact that there is a 90% chance the investment will net you a profit.
7
Dude, I’ve studied math more than football, and I know the numbers only tell part of the story in sports.
Example:
What are the odds an onside kick works with a lead?
What are the odds an onside kick works in the 4th quarter?
What are the odds an onside kick works right after a go-ahead score?
What are the odds an onside kick works with that kicker?
All of these variables have to be factored in. It’s not as simple as 64% success rate, LET’S DO THIS SHIT.

by Avinash Kunnath on Dec 21, 2009 10:10 AM PST up reply actions
Well, it’s debatable whether those are relevant (whether or not the kick takes place right after a go-ahead score, for example, may not have any impact on the actual success of the kick), but even if they all are: you don’t have any of that information available. So given the information you do have, the kick makes sense 64% of the time. Unless you assume that every other variable is going to go against you, the kick makes sense.

Louis Delmas
The rookie safety of the Detroit Lions, Louis Delmas, talked to reporters after yesterday’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
“I don’t really pay attention to (our) record,” Delmas said, when asked how much the losing is bothering him. “But if I did, I’d probably kill myself. I just pay attention to the game. Once you’re losing, you aren’t going to see any smile on this face. This loss is very tough on us, not only myself, but the team.”
Wow, those are some strong words.

My Favorite Homer Lines
Fool, don’t propose a ransom to me or go on speaking;
before Patroklos met his apportioned day,
then it was my heart’s way to spare
the Trojans, and I took many alive and sent them away.
But now there is not one who shall escape death, whomever a god
may throw into my hands before Illion, not one
of all the Trojans, and beyond all others, not one of the children of Priam.

ASUC issues statement!!!
ASUC Student Advocate Hassan Khan released an open statement to the campus community Tuesday that challenges UC Berkeley administrators’ handling of the arrests of 66 people last Friday morning at Wheeler Hall.
The activists had occupied the building the whole week and had reached an agreement with the campus administration allowing them to peacefully demonstrate for an “Open University” in the building through the end of Friday, Khan said in the statement.
But after four days passed without any arrests being made at the scene, UCPD officers entered the building at about 4:40 a.m. Friday morning, arresting 65 people people inside as well as an additional person outside. All were taken to Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, where students without outstanding warrants were released later in the evening with misdemeanor trespassing charges.

Physics of space battles
A Ph.D. analyzes what battles in space would look like. This is the part about the technology.
First, pending a major development in propulsion technology, combat spacecraft would likely get around the same way the Apollo spacecraft went to the Moon and back: with orbit changes effected by discrete main-engine burns. The only other major option is a propulsion system like ion engines or solar sails, which produce a very low amount of thrust over a very long time. However, the greater speed from burning a chemical, nuclear, or antimatter rocket in a single maneuver is likely a better tactical option. One implication of rocket propulsion is that there will be relatively long periods during which Newtonian physics govern the motions of dogfighting spacecraft, punctuated by relatively short periods of maneuvering. Another is that combat in orbit would be very different from combat in “deep space,” which is what you probably think of as how space combat should be – where a spacecraft thrusts one way, and then keeps going that way forever. No, around a planet, the tactical advantage in a battle would be determined by orbit dynamics: which ship is in a lower (and faster) orbit than which; who has a circular orbit and who has gone for an ellipse; relative rendezvous trajectories that look like winding spirals rather than straight lines.
Second, there are only a few ways to maneuver the attitude of a spacecraft around – to point it in a new direction. The fast ways to do that are to fire an off-center thruster or to tilt a gyroscope around to generate a torque. Attitude maneuvers would be critical to point the main engine of a space fighter to set up for a burn, or to point the weapons systems at an enemy. Either way, concealing the attitude maneuvers of the space fighter would be important to gain a tactical advantage. So I think gyroscopes (“CMGs,” in the spacecraft lingo) would be a better way to go – they could invisibly live entirely within the space fighter hull, and wouldn’t need to be mounted on any long booms (which would increase the radar, visible, and physical cross-section of the fighter) to get the most torque on the craft. With some big CMGs, a spacecraft could flip end-for-end in a matter of seconds or less. If you come upon a starfighter with some big, spherical bulbs near the midsection, they are probably whopping big CMGs and the thing will be able to point its guns at you wherever you go. To mitigate some of the directionality of things like weapons fire and thruster burns, space fighters would probably have weapons and engines mounted at various points around their hull; but a culture interested in efficiently mass-producing space warships would probably be concerned about manufacturing so many precision parts for a relatively fragile vessel, and the craft would likely only have one main engine rather than, say, four equal tetrahedral engines.

Fat Apple’s for the family vibe, Venus in downtown Berkeley isn’t too shabby for brunch, Lakeshore Cafe near Lake Merritt is aite, Cafe Fanny in North Berkeley if you’re ok with pastries or poached eggs, same with Royal/Cole’s coffee in Rockridge. Bette’s Oceanview diner on 4th st, or Tacubaya for a Mexican brunch. Dim Sum in Oakland Chinatown at Restaurant Peony depending on how much you like chicken feet (sec119 finds it dee-li-cious).
I’d say it’s best in the East Bay. A couple places in Cupertino are pretty good also, and Yank Sing is an institution in SF. But I can’t decide between them, it’s like picking a favorite child. Oh, and that place on the Emeryville pier is pretty decent too, imo.

Tiger Woods scandal has benefitted...Doug and Jackie Christie???
Christie was a professional athlete who dared to be different. He willingly brought his wife on road trips. He took his marriage vows seriously, especially the part about forsaking all others. Christie actually enjoyed having Jackie around, even if her presence meant no strip clubs or groupies at the hotel lobby bar. Even if teammates didn’t get it. Imagine that.
Christie loved his wife. And, what’s more, he wanted her to know it, even while he worked. So the husband made up a signal, which he’d flash during games. On the court. On the bench. Didn’t matter. Christie would raise his left fist, and extend his index finger and pinkie.
It was the husband’s way of reminding the wife that he was thinking about her. Only her. The single-game record was 72 gestures. Different, yes. But so what?

Er…I don’t think it was “taking marriage vows seriously” so much as “being completely fucking crazy”.
His wife didn’t allow him to speak to or make eye contact with other women. Isn’t that exactly the opposite of a strong marriage, if she has that little trust in him?
Ohh, that isn’t even the tip of it…she burned down one of his cars once after his teammates were going out to a bachelor party.

“A police bomb squad safely disposed of what they thought was a pipe bomb found in front of a 19th Street home,” KGO reports. “The mysterious metal cylinder was capped at one end and had a pin attached to its side. Bomb experts from Walnut Creek evacuated everybody for 300 feet around and blew it up at about 10:30 pm.”

Pencils made from the carbon of human cremains. 240 pencils can be made from an average body of ash – a lifetime supply of pencils for those left behind.
Each pencil is foil stamped with the name of the person. Only one pencil can be removed at a time, it is then sharpened back into the box causing the sharpenings to occupy the space of the used pencils. Over time the pencil box fills with sharpenings – a new ash, transforming it into an urn. The window acts as a timeline, showing you the amount of pencils left as time goes by.
Ew. Totes this.

This work forms part of a larger research project into post mortem.
The website: http://www.nadinejarvis.com/projects/post_mortem
An ongoing research project looking to challenge our archaic post mortem traditions and to offer proposals for alternate treatment for our deceased.
I have been designing urns that lengthen death ceremony to give more time to come to terms with loss. My motivation for this project was my interest in the death and decomposition of materials and how the degradation of materials could be used to aid the grieving process.

Avinash likes to make sweeping statements about how “Asians/whites/gays/left-handed people/Dexter fans/whatever” have/are/do/make [attribute]".
sure
But I think it’s funny to say that race/skin color/ethnicity has “little” to do with promiscuity. I can imagine someone saying that it has a lot to do with it, or someone saying one nothing to do with the other, but I would find it a little surprising to see someone argue that there IS a relationship between skin color and being a ho, but it’s a weak one.
by atomsareenough on Dec 21, 2009 5:51 PM PST up reply actions
I think there’s a cultural link more than any other factor. People in Utah, for example, have lower rates of adultery than any other state in the US.
The logic is that there might be a weak causal relationship going skin color→culture→promiscuity (given that certain skin colors have high levels of overlap with certain ethnicities).
I’d always heard Eskimos were sluts.
So what can you say?
by Spazzy Mcgee on Dec 22, 2009 10:52 AM PST up reply actions
…But if you control for ethnicity, I bet skin color wouldn’t have ANY correlation. Dark-skinned people within the same racial/ethnic are probably not any more likely to be promiscuous than light-skinned people from that group. I bet other factors like income, geography/neighborhood, religiosity, and promiscuity of their friends probably are predictive, but I can’t imagine skin color is.

Oh yeah. Not my parents, but I’ve heard a lot of stories.
My freshman year roommate who was from the Sunset District in San Francisco (yeah, so like 18 miles away) got 5 phone calls a day from his mom. AND 4 letters a week with handwritten notes on the outside of the envelope like “Sit up straight” or “remember to brush your teeth” needless to say, he didn’t spend a lot of time in the room because of the constant phone calls. (pre-common cell phones)
But much worse was this woman I knew, she had long mid back length hair, and one random Friday night her parents showed up to her dorm unannounced (she’s from LA) and she was out with friends (not even drinking or partying – if I remember correctly they had gone to downtown Berkeley to see Speed and eat at Sun Hong Kong) – they waited in her room until she got back at 11pm, the next day they cut off her hair (SERIOUSLY!) to like pageboy length. One summer I went to visit her in LA (her parents were in Taiwan) and I asked if we could watch some TV, and they had locked the plug for the TV inside of a wooden box with a padlock.
Cereal. The hair thing is nuts.

It wasn’t that long ago either – I mean I was in school from 92 to 96.
It was pretty fucking insane – short of actual physical abuse its the most stereotypical crazy Asian parents story I’ve personally known about.
Fortunately my parents weren’t recent immigrants (they came over in the mid 60s to attend undergrad in the States) AND I wasn’t a girl (this is a big thing as far as freedom is concerned) so gladly I have no personal experience.
LeonPowe, can you please explain why most Asians would rather drink dog pee than tap water?
So what can you say?
by Spazzy Mcgee on Dec 21, 2009 4:16 PM PST up reply actions
Dog pee has sexual impotence curing powers?
Actually I thought the tap water thing was just a west coast/east coast thing? No? Hmmm, my educated guess is that it’s reflexive from recent immigrants (tap water in almost every country in Asia is non-potable, maybe Japan and Korea aside) – everyone boils water or gets bottled water (depending on one’s ability to pay for bottled water).
I have no issues drinking tap water (heck I used to drink out of the hose growing up) – but at home we have Brita filters.

Sometimes in backwoods, uneducated China, it’s a picture of Mao (because he outlawed superstition during the cultural revolution) – so instead of a chinese character, it’s a Chinese dictator. It’s a similar reason as why Catholics might have a picture of Saint Frances in their car.

Damn, Bob Laird comes down hard on the Chancellor
When I served as director of undergraduate admission at UC Berkeley from 1993 through 1999, I viewed the admission process at Berkeley as a public trust. The principal satisfaction I got was from helping ensure that as wide a range of California students as possible got access to the world-class education that Berkeley offered.
Now, however, the UC Board of Regents and UC President Mark Yudof have made disastrous changes in fee and enrollment policies that will sharply limit opportunities for California residents and severely damage the already meager enrollment levels of African American, Latino and Native American students, and the enrollment of low-income students in general.
The widely publicized 32 percent undergraduate fee increase passed by the UC regents Nov. 19 will severely damage opportunity for large numbers of California students and their families.
To begin with, Yudof implies that UC fees are the only financial problem UC students and their parents confront. The real issue, as the table at right demonstrates, is the total cost of attendance for a year, including not only fees but room and food, books and supplies, personal expenses and transportation.
Imagine: $30,544 for one year at a public university – making Berkeley almost certainly the most expensive public university in the country – in return for which students and their parents will get fewer classes, larger class sizes, a longer time until graduation, the elimination of academic programs and the sharp curtailment of many student services. And many families already are struggling with UC’s high costs: 65 percent of Berkeley undergraduates qualify for need-based financial aid.

Stanley Hasiak Sent Home?
UCLA offensive lineman Stanley Hasiak has been sent home to Hawaii for personal reasons and is not likely to return, according to a source in the Bruins’ football program.
My biased and completely flame-tastic guess: He wasn’t too happy that Ricky didn’t follow through on his promise to start Stan from Day 1.

Also
UCLA sophomore center Kai Maiava and freshman wide receiver Morrell Presley are academically ineligible for the EagleBank Bowl. Jake Dean will start at center for the Bruins, with Nick Ekbatani sliding to right guard. […]
“It’s tough – I don’t think anybody’s taking it harder than he is,” redshirt freshman quarterback Kevin Prince said. “He apologized to the team on Saturday, and it’s a blow to not only the offense but the whole team. He’s the leader of that offensive line – he brings that fire and passion that I think helped the line play a lot better this year. I know he’ll be punching himself for not being in the game.”

Fascinating
Hasiak, who is 6 feet 5, 318-pounds, has had trouble adjusting since coming to UCLA. He has had a series of confrontations with teammates during practices. He also has had a handful of off-the-field incidents, according to sources familiar with the program, including screaming at doctors and nurses while waiting for an X-ray at a hospital.

at Terror Lake. Let’s just practise a bit, hmm? When I say,
“Hello, Mr. Thompson,” you’ll say, “Hi.”

Agent: Remember now, your name is Homer Thompson.
Homer: I gotcha.
Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson.

and press down on your foot, you smile and nod.
Homer: No problem.
