DBD 7.08.09 Thou Shalt Not Adulterate Unless Thou Maketh Seven Figures
by Avinash Kunnath on Jul 8, 2009 4:09 AM PDT

PrintWas there really a 300 comment discussion about making adultery a crime yesterday? Easily one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen, right up there with the first episode of Twin Peaks, USC-Furd 07, and Twist's 9/11 jokes (I've heard one. It nearly made me sob.). No comment on the matter, except that historically, setting restrictions on ways in which humans derive pleasure (alcohol and sex) usually leads to more of it (or ways around said restrictions).
If you want an example, please visit your nearest red state, red county, red something, where many young Bible gals will proclaim 'it ain't sex if it ain't vaginal'. Those women scare the fuck out of me.
I'll also leave out how the Catholic Church is one of the most evil institutions ever, right up there with the Gestapo and the Walt Disney Company. That's a topic for another day though. (Disclaimer: The views expressed in this DBD reflect only those of Avinash and not the CGB as a whole, so don't get mad at all of us, Ken!)
Anyway, that serious discussion led me to the greatest list ever: Athletes with illegitimate kids. Ken, please close your eyes as you look at this list of sinners. (The rest you can see after clicking on the link, including how Karl Malone is the worst father ever).
THE HEAVYWEIGHTS
Calvin Murphy - 14 illegitimate kids by 9 women. You sir are our current champion.
Travis Henry - 9 kids by 9 women. All of this by 28. Impressive. He is on pace to catch Calvin. The fact that he's broke from paying child support may slow him down though.
Ex-San Antonio Spur Willie Anderson - 9 illegitimate kids. If only his field goal percentage had been as high as his impregnation rate.
Evander Holyfield - 9 illegitimate kids. Has more kids than brain cells left.
Jason Caffey - 8 kids by 7 women.
UPDATE - Shawn Kemp - 7 illegitimate kids by 6 women last time. Supposedly up to 11 kids by 9 women now. Gives his nickname of the Reign Man new meaning. Might also explain why he nearly played with an Italian team late in 2008.
Derrick Thomas - 7 illegitimate kids by 5 women. He died at 33. Let's just leave it at that.
UNCONFIRMED - Dominique Wilkins - reportedly played so long in the NBA because, according to a Magic front office employee, he was paying money on 20 paternity suits. Any further confirmation would be awesome.
THE MIDDLEWEIGHTS
NEW MEMBER - Scott Skiles - At least 6 kids, possibly more.
Ray Lewis - 6 kids by 4 women.
Marshall Faulk - 6 kids by 3 women. Which is probably why he considered coming out of retirement.
Larry Johnson (basketball) - 5 kids by 4 women. 3 are illegitimate.
Charles Rogers - Uber-NFL Draft bust reportedly has 5 illegitimate kids...and no paycheck. Definitely the makings of a solid family.
Vlad Guerrero - 4 kids by 4 women.
Oscar De La Hoya - 4 kids (courtesy of Fark)
Santonio Holmes - 3 illegitimate kids by two women, before leaving college.
Former Celtic Greg Minor - 3 illegitimate kids.
Ricky Williams - 3 illegitimate kids. Maybe that's why he smokes so much weed.
Priest Holmes - 3 illegitimate kids. You best keep running Priest.
Chad Johnson - Has 3 illegitimate kids.
Mike Bibby - apparently had two before leaving 'Zona.
THE LIGHTNING FAST GROUP
Willis McGahee - 3 illegitimate kids in 2 years in Buffalo. Not a lot to do in Buffalo, except make babies (DON'T DO IT MARSHAWN!!!). Lots and lots of babies. Not sure what he's done since in Baltimore, but I can take a guess.
Shannon "Horseface" Sharpe - 3 as well. Supposedly had those three all in one year.
Calvin Murphy, one for the ages. It's too bad we can't find anecdotal figures for the young Wilt Chamberlains out there.
Do any of you have any funny or interesting stories of friends (or ex-friends) who fooled around more than they should have, cheated on their spouses/girlfriends/boyfriends for disturbing/inconceivable reasons, etc? Any crazy stories about other athletes who were loose on the goose (keep their names anonymous for obvious reasons)? Any problems your friends are having with their relationships?
The CGB doctors are ready to listen to it all! (Except me. Spazzy will kick my ass if I don't get off the comp.)
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

Great great post about the economics of the BCS
And why we are a long way from having a playoff system.
The BCS would not make any more money at the highest level of demand with six games than with five. However, the BCS would make more at the lower demand levels with five games than with six.
The people who run the BCS know about this kind of information. That’s why they run things like a cartel; when times aren’t booming, acting like a cartel gets them more money than acting like a market would (by adding and subtracting games according to demand). In addition, it’s practically impossible to take away BCS games once they’re deployed. If they added games as demand rises, they wouldn’t be able to take them away again if demand were to subside (due to a bad economy, a couple seasons without marquee teams at the top, etc.).
That second point is really the killer. Even if the data showed that demand would increase enough with a sixth event so that the BCS would make more money than with just five games, there’s no way to get rid of it if things take a turn for the worse. University presidents, who are the ones that the conference commissioners ultimately answer to, are extremely sensitive to budget cuts. They’re likely more concerned about maximizing profits when times are bad than chasing every last cent when times are good.
Wait, WHAT? THE BCS IS GREAT NEWS FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL? WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? AND WHY HAS NO ONE RESPONDED TO THIS?

This article sums up exactly how I feel
You guys asked me to do a fanpost on why I like the BCS. I also recall the day we discussed it was the day HolmoePhobe really started hating me.
All aboard the Jahvid Best rickshaw!
enough already...
seriously dude. I am tired of agreeing with you.
CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
I am actually a little scared at how much I agree with that article. It is word for word the exact same position that I have. If I had blacked out, and had never read that article before, and someone showed it to me the next morning, I would think I wrote it.
College Football is probably my favorite thing in the whole world, for the reasons he lists. I watched most of the bowl games this year. Capital One Bowl Week is my favorite week of the year. Every year, when I first see the ads for Capital One Bowl week (with a college band playing an awesome version of what I think is The 12 days of Christmas), I get really excited and hug everybody in my household. I start dancing. I wait all year for it. I get excited for it like no other. The bowls are like Christmas for me. I watch almost every single one. I wake up at like 7 AM when I am on vacation so I can watch games like Wake Forest v. Navy.
Its funny, because I don’t really watch the BCS bowls. Unless it is a matchup that really interests me (Oklahoma-Florida, Alabama-Utah) I don’t watch. Why? Because I watch the big name teams all year. And that is wonderful. But bowl season is about the little schools. The smaller bowls are much much better games. I don’t have interest in a matchup like Troy-Southern Miss, but I watch because I know it will be entertaining (field goal blocked that would have sent the game into OT). I don’t even watch games like Texas-OSU. The talent may be superior, but the games themselves are inferior.
People want a playoff so they can find out the ‘real’ national championship. By doing this, it will do away with the bowl system. People say: Well every single other sport has a playoff, so college football should too! Uhhh no. You are wrong. The bowl season is unique and wonderful. And I think people have this ‘grass is always greener on the other side’ approach about a playoff. When their team doesn’t get to go to a bowl game (and Cal would be in the playoffs maybe 2 or 3 times a decade), they will start liking it a lot less. Without bowls, Pain Train doesn’t end his storied career by doing what makes us all love him, Nate Longshore doesn’t get to complete the last pass of his career in redeeming fashion, and we miss out on many other great things.
The BCS is flawed. That is certain. But the BCS stands for bowls in general. When the BCS goes down, so will bowls. And it will be an utter travesty if that happens.
All aboard the Jahvid Best rickshaw!
I disagree, almost word for word. But I know better than to argue this.
by Avinash Kunnath on Jul 8, 2009 5:27 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah. We aren’t going to convert each other so there is really no point. I just hope the bowl system stays the same forever. And that isn’t possible if there is a playoff.
You don’t get excited about bowl games?
All aboard the Jahvid Best rickshaw!
Yeah, when I was 12. Now it’s just for gambling. Otherwise I would probably watch Cal and a few bowls here and there.
Usually if I’m not gambling on a bowl, I’m not watching it.

Former footballer to be inducted into Racing HoF:
BERKELEY – Former California football All-American Les Richter, who co-founded the International Race of Champions and became a vice president of NASCAR, will be inducted into the Motor Sports Hall of Fame of America when the organization stages its annual ceremony Aug. 12 at the Fillmore Theater in Detroit.
Joining Richter in the Class of 2009 are Kenny Bernstein, David Hobbs, Scott Parker, Al Unser Jr., H.A. “Humpy” Wheeler and Joe Weatherly.
“Innovation and competitive spirit are hallmarks of the class of 2009,” said Hall of Fame president Ron Watson. “These men have exemplified leadership and teamwork both on the track and in the front office.”
A member of both the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame and the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame, Richter was a two-time All-American during his 1949-51 career with the Golden Bears. He played in a pair of Rose Bowls and also served as valedictorian of his graduating class. Richter went on to a nine-year NFL career with the Los Angeles Rams, where he was an eight-time Pro Bowl selection.
After retiring from football, Richter became one of the co-owners of Riverside International Raceway and helped turn that track into one of the finest in the world. He also co-founded the International Race of Champions, became a vice president of NASCAR and played a dominant role in the development of California Speedway.
Bernstein became the King of Speed in 1992 when he was the first NHRA driver to break the 300 MPH barrier. He is a four-time NHRA Funny Car champion and an IHRA World Funny Car titlist. After changing classes to Top Fuel, Bernstein garnered two additional NHRA driving crowns, becoming the first to win championships in both nitro categories. He is still actively involved in drag racing as an owner.
Hobbs is currently a television broadcaster on Speed Channel whose sports car driving career spanned three decades. While accumulating some 40 major victories at all levels of motorsports, he captured the 1971 U.S. Formula 5000 championship and the 1983 SCCA Trans Am title.

New asst womens water polo coach:
BERKELEY, CALIF. – Matt Flesher, a standout water polo player at UCLA who has been an assistant coach for both the Bruins’ men’s and women’s water polo programs the past four years, has been named an assistant coach for the Cal women’s water polo team, it was announced today (July 7) by Golden Bear head coach Richard Corso.
This past May, Flesher, 29, helped guide the UCLA women to their fifth consecutive NCAA title with a 5-4 victory over No. 1 seed USC. In his three seasons working with the Bruin women, UCLA compiled a 93-8 record, including a perfect 33-0 mark in 2008. During Flesher’s time assisting the Bruins, two players were the recipients of the Peter J. Cutino Award (named after the legendary Cal men’s water polo coach) as the national player of the year, 17 players were named All-Americans and 21 athletes were selected All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.
“Matt is a student of the game, an excellent recruiter and a great teacher,” said Corso, the 1996 USA men’s Olympic coach who will be entering his fourth season coaching the Bears next spring. “His knowledge and passion for water polo is a one of his greatest qualities. Matt takes great pride in developing young players for elite teams and his record as a coach is outstanding. He will immediately have a positive impact on our team.”
In assisting the UCLA men’s water polo program, Flesher helped the Bruins to a 75-29 mark from 2005-08, coaching 19 players who were selected All-American and All-MPSF. In 2006, he was the head coach of the Los Angeles Water Polo Club’s 16-Under boy’s team that won the U.S. Water Polo National Championship.
As a collegiate player from 1999-2002, Flesher was a member of UCLA’s back-to-back national champions in 1999 and 2000. He was a two-time All-American and was twice named All-MPSF, finishing his college career with 81 goals. Flesher earned his degree in political science from UCLA in 2002.

Corso was a coach at my highschool. He did PE, and coached water polo. Generally a nice guy, if a little gruff.
He once asked me to try out for the water polo team. It was pretty cool to have a guy like that say you should try out for his team. Too bad I’m not a good swimmer :(
Also, I remember watching the Summer Olympics in the 90’s and thinking that it’s cool to see your PE coach in the Olympics!

New asst coach on womens gymnastics:
California Golden Bears’ women’s gymnastics head coach Cari DuBois has named Don Houlton, formerly of Yale University, as the new assistant women’s gymnastics coach.
Don Houlton begins his first season as Assistant Coach for Cal after spending the 2008-09 season as an assistant coach at Yale University.
Before Yale, Houlton spent 21 years as the Director/ Head Coach at Nebraska Gold Gymnastics in Omaha. He has also been its owner since 1993. Before that, he coached at various other gyms in Colorado, Iowa, and Nebraska.
Houlton has been a very active member of USA Gymnastics from the local to the national level. From 1997-2008, Houlton was the Coordinator for the Region IV Training Camp, as well as a member of the National Junior Olympic Program Committee. In addition, he was the Nebraska State Chairman from 1994 to 1997. Houlton has presented at the national Coaches Congress several times, including in 2005 when he was Master Clinician.
Houlton competed for Colorado State University in the final year of the program in Fort Collins, Colo. He spent eight years prior to that competing with the US Gymnastics Federation.

CAN ANYBODY STOP MAX ZHANG AND HIS GIANT CARDBOARD HEAD!?!??!
BELGRADE, Serbia – Center Max Zhang, who will be a sophomore for the Golden Bears this coming season, has represented his native China well at the World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia. A native of Yantai, he has led China in rebounding in every contest and is averaging 17.5 ppg and 16.2 rpg through the first four games of the tournament.
Zhang has posted a pair of triple doubles, including a 25-point, 12-rebound, 10-block performance vs. Iran Tuesday. In Monday’s action against Australia, Zhang grabbed a tournament-high 22 rebounds to go with his 18 points.
In addition, Zhang had 15 points, 16 boards and eight blocks in China’s opener vs. Italy and 12 points, 15 rebounds and 10 blocks vs. Canada. Despite his efforts, China is 0-4 in the Games.
So far, the 7-3 Zhang leads all players in the tournament with his 16.2 rpg and 6.7 bpg.
As a redshirt freshman for the Bears in 2008-09, Zhang saw action in 15 games, averaging 1.3 ppg and 0.6 rpg. He was second on the team with 13 blocks.

American unknown Anton Peterlin signs with Everton
It’s the equivalent of the Mavericks drafting a goofy 7’ jump shooting power forward out of the german second division (what’s that? that happened? oh. nevermind).
Anyways – people are thinking he could be the new Jay DeMerit – who started from equal obscurity (US 4th division “pro” soccer – is a lot more like semi-pro Sunday beer league in the UK). Now he’s in the one of the 2 best leagues in the world (more physical and faster than la Liga) Who knows if he’ll see playing time. Is this another guy the Nats could use as well? (Of course midfield is where the US is deepest – too bad he’s not a left back or a goal scoring sniper or a dead ball specialist)
The thing about Peterlin...
is that he had at least 2 failed trials with MLS (Colorado and someone else I believe). Interesting that Everton saw something that MLS did not.

serious question
what is the reporting like about the various riots going on in Western China? what are they saying are the motives for the Uyghurs? and the Han retaliation?
(I’m sure its a glossing over of some very very important points – but I’d be interested to see how y’all are viewing the troubles)
Is that how you spell their name? I was guessing “Wegurs”. Man, I was so off, even Google wouldn’t have helped me.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
It's one of like
a dozen accepted spellings. (Wegurs isn’t one of them though)
wikipedia says: Uyghur, Uighur, Uygur and Uigur, with the preferred spelling being Uyghur
The one article I read (probably an AP article, although I’m not sure) talked about ethnic strife and migration of ethnic chinese into Uyghur dominated areas as causes of strife, as well as speculation that unequal economic growth is another factor in ethnic tension.
I didn’t read it that closely though. I’m so worldly!
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
It's a strange how a tiny little spark
can set fire to very overheated tensions that have been simmering for years. even decades.
As far as anyone can tell, this started because a week or two ago, some guy in a toy factory in Guangdong posted on an internet forum false rumors of Uyghurs harassing/raping Han co-workers . .. which led to riots and two Uyghur deaths in the toy factory . . . which led to 158 deaths and two massive riots in Xinjiang.
There’s not much reporting going on about the situation IMO but they’re saying it’s Tibet all over again… is it Tibet all over again?
it has the potential to be much worse
Unlike Tibet, there is an active and (possibly al queda aligned/funded/trained – possibly not) separatist group still in China . . . and historically violent. (They’ve bombed buses, McDonald’s, etc. in places as far as away as Beijing. There’s also major urban Uyghur population centers in far away cities such as Kunming, Guangzhou and Beijing). Tibet doesn’t really have any active possible rebellions (the violent Tibet separatists are much more in the minority – especially since the Dalai Lama is pro-remaining part of China but autonomous)
[RACIAL STEREOTYPING] Uyghurs are more likely to get into a scrap than Tibetians. I say this due to I’ve seen Uyghur knife fights – but never Tibetian knife fights.
However, on the converse side, the Chinese government seems to be handling things slightly better this time (ok, the 150 deaths aside – unfortunately, no news source seems to be saying WHO those 150 people who died were) with regards to news access and the like. (Although they fucking blocked Twitter and Facebook – I’m trying to see my friend’s baby photos, not find out about riot information)

as for the dbd question
I have assisted in negotiations for ladies of the evening or in the actual procurement of such ladies for the following:
a very Christian All Star
1 Champion small forward
1 Champion point guard
an energetic 3 point shooter off the bench
a defensive specialist power forward
and a journeyman shooting guard
That’s my direct experience. 4 of those players were married.
I have also hearsay from sources I trust to the very end that half of Team USA basketball visited the infamous Darling Sauna in Macau. I know the players who visited, but I’ll just leave that out.
I'm scared of dabbling into more McNair territory
But I finally found an article that expresses my feelings perfectly:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/07/07/SPU518KICU.DTL
McNair’s death a sad case of blaming victim
When the revelations about Michael Vick’s dogfighting ring set off national outrage two years ago, a lot of people wondered why cruelty to animals often seems to prompt more distress than violence against humans. Steve McNair’s murder provides a hint of an answer.
Our culture loves to blame the victim. It’s a way for people to distance themselves from the threat of something similar, and they do it all the time. A baby is shaken to death by the babysitter, and the mother hears that she should have been home.
McNair was shot execution-style, with his young mistress’ body nearby, giving license to the argument that he bore some responsibility for his own death. Married with four children, the quarterback died in what we quaintly call a compromising situation.
JAI HO!

Just an FYI
Police to release new information at 2:45 pm (CST) press conference:
Metro police are planning a press conference at 2:45 p.m. to release the latest details on the investigation into the deaths of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi.
Police Chief Ronal Serpas is scheduled to deliver the update. So far, all the press conferences since Saturday’s deaths have been handled by a public information officer.
Police had been anticipating results in ballistics testing and gunshot residue evidence this week.
Yes
If you aren’t able to tune into ESPN for whatever reason, the Tennessean will likely be posting live updates.
Re: the blame the victim aspect, I think/hope that I’ve made it clear that there is a gulf between believing he deserved what happened to him and pointing out he was responsible for the situation he caused to exist. In my view, he bears responsibility but not blame. Others might not share the distinction between the two terms but I think it’s the equivalent of distinguishing between the responsibility one driver has for cutting someone off on the freeway but not being blamed for the resulting road rage in the second driver. (I have many more much more emotionally laden examples if you wish!)
Anyway, I’m interested to hear what the police say. Apparently Kazemi had put all of her furniture up for sale on Craigslist in the two days prior to the event.
The girlfriend did it - in the condo, with the pistol.
Police: McNair girlfriend behind murder-suicide
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—Police confirmed Wednesday that ex-NFL star Steve McNair’s(notes) 20-year-old girlfriend killed him before turning the gun on herself.
They said they may never know what was going through Sahel Kazemi’s mind when she shot McNair in his condominium early Saturday, but interviews with friends indicated she was becoming increasingly distraught over events in her life, including financial problems. Police said she also suspected McNair was seeing another woman.

I’ll assume that there was at least some jest in your “most evil institution ever” comment based on the inclusion of Walt Disney, but I can’t completely leave it be:

Watch it. Everyone who doubts the goodness of the Church, Watch It. Don’t agree with our politics, fine, but particularly since politics is not the main emphasis of the Church, to doubt the good that the Church does in the world is to seriously misunderstand both the nature of the Church and what it actually accomplishes on a daily basis.

Tutorial: why Disney truly is evil.
Have you seen ‘Pocahontas’ ? At the end, the English see the error of their ways and GO BACK TO ENGLAND. I literally booed in in the theater at the end of that movie. Why the hell would you create that sort of lie for children to put in their minds? It’s just incredibly irresponsible, not to mention inexcusable.
And this is one of Disney’s tamest offenses. Don’t get me started on Dumbo, Song of the South, and the rest.
Don’t forget about the minstrel-show crows from Dumbo! “I done been seen ’bout everything when I see an elephant fly”? Oh, did I mention the leader of the crows was named Jim Crow ?
There’s a lot more – luckily, Cracked did all my work for me:

So, yeah, Disney is truly evil.

Who are Crix Nadine, Salacious B. Crumb, Jan Dodonna, Maximillian Veers, TK-421, Oola, IG-88 and Ponda Baba?
IIRC Crix Madine was a New Republic officer. Crumb had something to do with Jabba? Dodonna was an Imperial officer who defected to the Republic. Veers was the AT-AT commander on Hoth. No idea about TK-421. Oola was one of the dancers in Jabba’s palace. IG-88 was a assassin droid. Don’t know the last one either.
Crix Nadine
is the guy with the great beard who addresses the Rebel Fleet before Ackbar in ROTJ. Ponda Baba is the guy who threatens Luke in Mos Eisley “He doesn’t like you/Sorry/I don’t like you either, you just watch yourself, I have the death sentence on 12 systems/I’ll be careful/YOU’LL BE DEAD/This little one’s not worth the trouble. . .etc et.c”

Maximillian Veers: In charge of ground attack for Battle of Hoth.
TK-421: Designation of stormtroopers guarding the Falcon on the first Death Star.
Oola: Hot alien who got fed to the rancour.
IG-88: Most badass robot ever. Was suggested to have Force sensibilities in Tales of the Bounty Hunters.

If Hamas is evil, well then so is Israel. Shame on your leaders of Israel – you had the luxury of taking the moral high ground but you didn’t and now you make us feel ashamed to be your friends.

I did studio work with Mark May 1 1/2 yrs ago down in Burbank for Fox Sports. We were talking during a break and he asked me the normal questions like where are you from, etc. etc. I told him I went to Oregon and he said point blank is that outside of Seattle. He also asked me where my wife attended college and I said Cal. He proceeded to tell me that Cal will always take a back seat to USC and Stanford. I told him how can Cal take a backseat to Stanford when Furd can’t win more than a game or two. Total BS artist, didn’t know his facts and he really didn’t care because he’s so east coast bias. When I walked away from him I wanted to say have fun sleeping with Peetey.

Google announces development of their own operating system
Well, shit….
Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010.
Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and we are working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year. The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform.

I’m still skeptical about the x86 version. Netbooks have generally had no problem running office suites and other essential programs. What more could the apps offer? Why hold all your information on Google’s hard drives in the sky? It makes sense for an ARM netbook, but I’m not yet convinced that the x86 version will really be an improvement over what Linux/Microsoft currently offer for the netbook crowd.
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
I agree totally. I think Google is counting on the fact that the Chrome OS is going to be free and therefore the retail prices of OEM’s netbooks and laptops will be lower than the Windows versions.
That’s true, but what the hell is wrong with Ubuntu Netbook Remix or Ubuntu 9.0 itself? They’re awesome. And a big difference is that I know Ubuntu doesn’t have any incentive to index my files, track my activities and serve me ads.

CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
This is what all my biology text books tell me. It is much easier for a man to invest in sex (a few minutes, some easily replaced sperm, no big deal) than for a woman to invest in sex (rare and precious egg, possibility of pregnancy/childrearing, evaluating mate for help with child). Therefore women in general should be more selective — meaning default to ‘no’ — and men in general don’t need to be as selective — meaning default to ‘yes’.
Honk if you think Rags is great!
Interesting. Biology reigns over higher brain function!
Add’l note: if you are a man whose brain makes automatic emotional connections to sex – try to ignore those biological impulses in your head, and do not have sex with your friends. It will only make your life more awkward and complicated.
Also: impulses can be overridden with time and experience. I have friends from whom I would have accepted such an offer years ago, but now I would not. For the most part, situations where (and I hate to agree with Rishi here) I would never sacrifice the emotional connection we have as friends, or you know they might get hurt, and it wouldn’t be worth that happening.

Is courtship sexist?
Though you and I end up agreeing more than we disagree, it doesn’t look like that extends to this particular situation. For instance, though I can’t prove it, it’s likely that one reason gaps in pay remain between women and men is because men bear the chief responsibility of all aspects of courtship (in general). If that latter aspect ever changes – which I doubt it will; women who appear too eager to engage guys lose status among other females by seeming ‘desperate’ – then the compensation gap will likely close as well.
While I certainly appreciate those situations in which women have paid for me, I also don’t necessarily expect it as it goes against a great deal of social conditioning. Much more likely to receive “presents” or “surprises” from girls rather than nights out. Then again, I’m in the South and such things are more traditional down here.
For instance, though I can’t prove it, it’s likely that one reason gaps in pay remain between women and men is because men bear the chief responsibility of all aspects of courtship (in general).
uh, no. I actually believe that one of the reasons pay gaps remain is because in general, women are less likely to ask for more money, and to want pay regards to ‘fairness’ not what they could argue for.
As guys, would you feel weaker if you had a sugar momma?
Honk if you think Rags is great!
I think there’s a good chance my wife will make more money than me in the not too distant future. In 5 years, I’ll have a respectable salary but it will be less than her salary. I think this used to bother me, but now I don’t care as I’ve matured. I’ve got one thing many people (including her) don’t have: I really enjoy what I do.

On the topic of first dates...
Ok, here’s the story of my most recent ‘first date’ since the topic is out there:
So I met a woman at a friend’s BBQ this Memorial Day – seemed nice, both in the same field of work. I was taking off for CO in a couple weeks, and she was leaving for an East Coast grad school before I returned. We exchange numbers, but I’m only gonna know her for a couple of weeks so I wasn’t thinking about anything more than "oh this is a nice person’.
Meet up the next week for coffee. Interesting conversations, talking about where our careers might take us, etc. Definitely a connection, but whether she’s someone I see a relationship with, I’m unsure.
Meet up again a couple days before I leave. Sparks fly, turns into our first date. We even watch Annie Hall that night (how apropos). See her again the next night, our second and last date. We sort of see as a nice story to tell, and we part ways.
So I get a call a couple weeks ago – long story short, her grad school plan is now a no-go – meaning she’ll still be in the Bay when I get home. I’m not exactly sure how to feel about this. I’d already pretty much put it away in my mind, since I thought I wouldn’t see her again. Plus, it was only two dates, so I feel like I’m still getting to know her, but she is pretty excited for my return.
We’ve continued to talk while I’m in CO, and it’s strange because we openly talk about where our careers might take us, and there’s pretty much zero chance of being in the same place. She’s heading to LA, and for me it’s pretty much the Bay or Chicago. So this a person that I’ve met 4 times (only 2 being dates) who is certainly not like people I’ve dated before (though there’s something there), who long-term is probably going to live nowhere near me. Yet, it doesn’t seem to be stopping her, and I’m truthfully drawn to her, but it’s just a lot to wrap my mind around, I suppose. Plus, just hella complicated.
On top of that, my friend in Chicago just let me know that his lease is up on Sept 1st, and wants to know if he should start looking for 2-bedroom apts. So am I even going back to the Bay? Or am I going back long enough to grab my stuff and jump out to Chicago?
Oy.
Ok, I went on way too long… so yeah, that’s the story of my most recent first date :-p

Andbears help!
Hi BearStage,
How’s CO? I haven’t read your blog in a little while. So it seems you’re in a tough position. The idea of the relationship is getting a little big for the actuality of the relationship. This did happen to a couple of people I knew who hooked up right before one of them went abroad for the semester. They stayed in touch during and by the end had wildly differing opinions of the seriousness of the relationship.
How to keep this from happening: Emphasize that you’d like to stay friends (after all, she’s great) and that the plans are so up in the air right now. Maybe you both could get together [insert future event, like ‘when I get back to Bay Area’, ‘If we meet up in LA’].
There’s nothing wrong with comparing plans, after all, everyone does this. But when you start emphasizing the interaction of plans — that’s where it gets confusing and misleading. Also, remember that you should be clear, and that only she can change her mind.
Please take this advice with a grain of salt and remember that I’m married so automatically have the least amount of experience but think I know best for everyone else.
Honk if you think Rags is great!

Back-pocket is when you hit it off with a girl, but due to extenuating circumstances the relationship has little or no chance of working out. Instead of:
A) stopping your life for this girl, which you may regret as you may never be fully satisfied with your career otherwise (thus resent the girl)
B) forget about her and pursue the job and be stuck always wondering what if.
C) You continue with your life (job, other relationships, etc.), but always maintain mild contact. In the event that you end up in the same place at the same both still single, it isn’t completely awkward or unexpected to ask her to ‘catch up’.
Its the middle road, and has had mixed results.
Dating is much like the BCS
It’s divided, often very firmly, between the haves and have-nots, it can be hugely entertaining but also very expensive, everyone wants to level the playing field except those who are good at playing the field, everyone gets shafted at one time or another, and the concept of ‘fairness’ has no place here whatsoever.

I think that tradition is a poor one too and it is partly perpetuated by men too, in this case.
Girl likes guy, guy likes girl; either one should be able to ask the other out. There should be no societal pressures either way.
Girls build it up because it’s easier. Guys… well, I don’t know why guys do it.
JAI HO!
yea, I tried to not pay for the first date, but I realized it resulted in the girl being confused about my intentions. Now, I pick-up the first two (generally small things), if the girl doesn’t offer to pick up the third, drop her. After that I believe in taking turns.
Plus I don’t mind paying for her dinner as much because by that time we are legitimately friends (possibly more), and I’ll buy my friends a dinner.
Story time
One time I was meeting up with an old female friend from high school who asked me to hang out (we reconnected on facebook). We planned on drinks and a movie but, so I went ahead with making myself some dinner. About midway through, my friend called to tell me her shift was cut short, and wanted to know if we could grab dinner too. I told her I was eating dinner at that time, and I said if she didn’t mind me simply getting a beer, I’d be happy to accompany her. Fast-forward to the restaurant and I only ended up with one beer I got from the bar, then the dinner bill comes and my friend just looks at me, neither of us move, only a big awkward pause. Finally, she makes the move toawrds the check and says, I probably shouldn’t be spending money, but I guess I will anyway. I was incredibly perplexed, because (A) this wasn’t a date, we were simply meeting up for the first time in 3 years, and (B) even if this was a date, why would I pay for your dinner, when I had absolutely nothing. It was the beginning of a long line of awkward moments with that girl.

FYI, don’t start a relationship with a girl from your high school the summer after you’ve graduated. Particularly if you are going to different schools.
I think you misunderstood me, I’m saying don’t start a relationship in july after high school, when you are leaving for college in August.
I assumed the relationship would carry into your freshman year of college, if it ends in august was it really a relationship?
During high school, by all means be in a relationship to start off the learning curve. It rarely leads to anything serious anyway.
That was totally bizarre. I really can’t imagine what she was thinking there.
Andbears, can you give us some insight to what this girl was thinking?
no, you’re right, it was bizarre. There are several factors which stand out as important.
1) The previously assumed relationship stands; if we were friends, safe to assume we are friends. (unless dramatic changes occur)
2) The last minute nature of the dinner invite says ‘casual’ to me. Especially since she knew he wasn’t eating. Watching someone else eat is not a date.
3) She invited him, and I believe who ever does the inviting must assume taking on at least SOME responsibility for the cost of it. Because by inviting someone out, you’re forcing a level of spending on them.
so, unless there was a SEVERE difference in income, like girl is very poor student and boy is Mr. Moneybags from Monopoly, it is very weird to assume someone will pay for your food when they didn’t eat.
Honk if you think Rags is great!
Good point on #2.
Maybe Chowder could have said, “how much was my beer?” … or something to show that he was going to pay for his share at least. That would’ve been the more considerate move.
Regardless, I don’t think Chowder can be blamed for the uncomfortable situation.

CGB: Optimism is dead to us.
I actually think I may kind of be getting it. I am going to take a swing at trying to summarize it: you talked about considering somethings as standard (or making them standard or whatever) in regards to designing cellular systems. However, you do not know enough about systems to make decisions on what is standard or not.
Am I even close?

close, fixed.
CGB: Optimism is dead to us.
That is NOT a better sentence as it makes Rollonubears’ head hurt.
Well, I’d have to say that standardized parts are not useful — and not based on any level of understanding we may or may not have. You’re forgetting that throughout all of evolution, the goal has been to streamline the parts for efficiency for a given need. So, therefore, if everything hasn’t come up with the same parts, then everyone doesn’t need the same parts, thus standardization is impossible.
What was the plan? To design replaceable cellular structures across species, or to create interchangable biologically created parts like so many drive-shafts?

Honestly, I’ve never had that happen. I think it depends on the kind of women you date. I usually volunteer the first few times, which she appreciates, and then at some point she offers to take this one, or split it. That’s just how it’s gone with me.
In general, yes, I probably end up paying more, but so be it.

Okay, Okay, Let me sum up for you guys.
Lets get down to the root of all relationship problems.
With this 5 Lies All Women Tell: The lesson is that women want to make the relationship as non-confrontational as possible, but they still want to be important and special. So, these lies are illustrative of a balance between a woman’s actual feelings and simplifying the relationship nuances for a man. (Rags sez: “well, we are simple folk”)
To compare, I found this (admittedly simplistic) ‘Top 8 lies Men tell’
The lesson there: Men don’t want gf/wife to think she is one of the many — even though they probably are looking at the many. (See desire to be important and special). Also men also don’t want women to think they (the men) are deficient in any manner, which is necessary, since women don’t want a broken man.
Supersummary: Everyone is judging everyone, but doesn’t want to let them know that.

I’ve had girlfriends ask “how do i compare to so-and-so” and it is SO ANNOYING – they were also the ones that had major self-esteem issues. I’ve had girlfriends where our past ‘numbers’ just came up in conversation and we just had a regular conversation, and it was fine – no tension, no judging – very refreshing. It was anything anyone HAD to know, or even cared about – it just came up in conversation, there it is, on to next topic.
The key when it comes to things of a sexual nature is to never assume that you’re anyone’s best anything. if you are, great. Your s.o. will probably tell you so, and isn’t that nice? If you’re not, you’ll never know ‘cause your s.o. won’t tell you. So don’t even worry about it. Just be open, honest and communicative with each other. Be emotionally available. Don’t be afraid to ask questions – what do you like, what turns you on? Encourage him/her to tell you what they like, and do the same. You’ll learn what the other person likes, and everyone will be happy (and tired, but totally worth it).
Did I mention being emotionally available? That is the real key – if two people have a strong emotional connection on top of the initial chemistry, then mas is that gonna be awesome. Maybe you’ve dated someone who you didn’t connect with emotionally, but was just crazy in bed and rocked your world. Ok, that was fun. But someone who, even if not as insanely crazy in bed, you can really emotionally connect with on top of your phyisical chemistry – that is the one that you going to remember, and that is the one that might really change your life. And besides the fact that when you’re connected and can really trust each other, more freakiness comes out anyway, and then your brain is shattered and you’ll never be the same again.
Emotional openness and trust – those are the keys.

I got a fair number of catcher interference calls cuz I’d usually try and get as close to the plate as possible and to pitches before they tailed farther away from the plate/strike zone. It worked well, except for when batters had poor (long) swings.

wow, that WAS hard. i got 4.
i spent about a week as a little league umpire when i was 13. much more difficult that previously anticipated! i gained a new appreciation for good umpires that week.

Just booked my plane ticket for the UCLA game. GO BEARS!
On Southwest? I’m still not sure if I want to travel and take advantage of the deal they have going on right now (that doesn’t apply to Friday/Sunday) flights.

That’s the deal – I got $81 round-trip for Thurs-Mon (taking Fri off work and flying back Mon 6am). I think Fri-Sun is probably more like $150.
So you do work. I am somewhat closer to solving the mystery of HolmoePhobe.

Did you buy your tix for the game too? Do we buy them thru the Cal site? I’m planning on buying tix on Tuesday when they go on sale to the general public. If I can’t get them thru Cal, let me know so that I can go buy them thru UCLA.
Jahvid Best is so awesome, he makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands!
In this case, my friend bought a block of 6 and saved one for me. However, since I have season tickets, I can also buy them through the Cal site as of right now – so you should be able to as well.
The Rose Bowl is huge…I don’t anticipate the game selling out soon.

What are you talking about, the monopoly is over! The sell-out is assured!
by DC Trojan on Jul 8, 2009 2:26 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
Its actually not my favorite venue. The Rose Bowl has poor ventilation, and on a mid-October day the weather can climb and the sun can be surprisingly intense. Combine that with obnoxious UCLA fans and all I can say is we better win.
Either way, be sure to hit up Din Tai Fun chinese dumplings in Arcadia after the game!
Jahvid Best is so awesome, he makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands!
I feel some obligatory self-defense is required here. Mostly of the Rose Bowl, because pretty much every fanbase can be considered obnoxious to their opponents. Except Stanford, I guess… they don’t really have much of a fanbase.
We went to parents weekend last year at UCLA. It coincided with the Cal-UCLA game. It took 2 and a half hours to get from UCLA to the Rose Bowl.

will be heading down to Palm Springs (hi of 114 degrees F) this weekend for a Mexican wedding. CA should have given east of LA to Arizona and incorporated a bit more of the Sierra Nevadas ( like all of Lake Tahoe). Fun fact: CA declined to expand their borders to include all of Nevada in the 19th century. Hard to blame ’em!

if anyone could comment on I-5S —> I-210E —> I-10E between the hours of 5-7 pm on a Friday that would be great (winces).
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."

I know…I have to. I’d like to leave earlier, but I can’t cuz we have to wait for 2 people who have to work a half day.
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."
--Coach Clark
good idea…I would like to check out The Rose Bowl (although I’ve been waiting for That Day) and the Caltech campus, too. When’s a good time to leave Pasadena? 8?
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."
--Coach Clark
You shouldn’t hit that much traffic coming into Pasadena between 5 and 7, but you’ll probably get stuck if you continue on toward I-10 anytime before 7. So yes, it would be a good idea to stop, look around, and find something to eat.
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
leave later. Seriously, its going to be atrocious, particularly with everyone going to Vegas or the river.
LA has a river? C’mon kids, aquaduct swimming!
Without stops (which never happens) it says I’m supposed to be in Palm Springs in 7 h from our friends house in Pleasanton. They wanted to leave at 11 AM. I’ll try and push for earlier or later.
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."
--Coach Clark
The river is the colorado. People use the 10 to get out to Lake Mojave/Lake Havasu/Laughlin.
When I did the Berkeley to O.C. drive I planned on avoiding L.A. between the hours of 3pm & 7pm, therefore I either left really early or really late. Otherwise it turns into a 10 hour drive, or as in the case of this thanksgiving or St Patrick’s day two years ago a 12 hour ordeal.
Also, as you pass Lebec, you can see the final resting place of my car. It died there on June 19, 2009. =(
looks like The Big Unit's on the list...
as is Gary Payton:
Gary Payton – From a reader: The best part about Gary Payton is that his illegitimate kid is named “Gary Payton, Jr.” so that when his wife (or whatever) had a kid, and he wanted a junior, he couldn’t do it without major confusion, so he named his legitimate kid “Gary Payton II.”

The worst death I ever heard about.
A german zookeeper was giving an elephant medicine for constipation. It had to be inserted through the anus. As he stood behind the elephant cramming a giant constipation pill up its ass, the elephant finally relieved himself. The weight of the poo, knocked the zoo keeper over, and pinned him to the ground. Eventually, the poo covered his head, dried, hardened, and the zoo keeper died of drowning/choking/oxygen deprivation/whatever you want to call it.

7/8/2009 11:43:54 AMWrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if – and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy – “I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained,” et cetera, et cetera…“Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum,” et cetera, et cetera…“Memo bis punitor delicatum!” It’s all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks. You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!

The Toronto Blue Jays released B.J. Ryan today.
Ryan is still owed about $5 million for the remainder of ‘09 and another $10 million for 2010, but the Jays have clearly determined that the former closer has nothing left in his once dangerous arm. The stats back up that conclusion, but it’s still a monstrous salary hit to take, especially when we’re talking about a reliever.

CGB is in the Top 100 College Football Blogs
But then again, almost everyone on SBN is. Except USC, that’s right we finally beat them in something related to college football!
http://bestcollegerankings.org/2009/top-100-college-football-blogs/
I’ll try to cope with the disappointment. Any listing that doesn’t include the Blue Gray Sky is somewhat lacking.
i just clicked on one of their blogs and the last posting is from 2007. i think the credibility is diminshed.
There are 9 teams in the Pac with blogs. 1 of them wasn’t included because it is very new. Who the hell did you piss off?
All aboard the Jahvid Best rickshaw!
Slightly egregious: This blog’s writers believe they have 28-for-28 in funny blog taglines. In the process of searching for those taglines, you might find a ton of great writing, cocky attitude and great resources for the Washington Cougars.
Seriously egregious: Sea of Blue: Discerning Western Kentucky fans… A Sea Of Blue is Kentucky Wildcats blog, not a Western Kentucky Hilltoppers blog. Nice try, though.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
It’s like the writer spent five seconds at each blog, scanned ten random words, and drew a conclusion.
It reads like the descriptions for basic clothing in a Lands End catalog: “These plain color T’s will surely keep your shoulders covered in the hot summer sun.” “These cargo shorts are a fun and useful way to keep cool while looking hip.” “These white socks will fit snugly and keep your feet comfortable.” Dreck.

yesterday as i was leaving the RSF
i caught some of the hoops team playing pickup so i stuck around to watch. As i recall, boykin, nikola “mike cera” knezevic, and amoke were all there. but the most glorious of all was His Royal Bakness. man that guy is a stick at this point. def needs to hit the gym. he had surprising range though, including a gamewinning jumper from 3 point range.
I am Ted Miller
First debates on morality laws, now discussing female/human nature/AndBears as adv…when did DBDs start leading to substantive discussion? And completely Cal-unrelated discussion to boot?
If you want Cal-related discussion, I suggest you come back in August, where we’ll have plenty of wild speculation about the upcoming season based on selected leaked tidbits from Fall Football Camp.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
