John Wall shooting 11.8% from 3p in the preseason

and I thought he deserved that extension. The more I think about it, i'm not so sure. He may have been following me those last few months of the season.

UK fans love John Wall, but if you ask them if he can hit a 3 point shot, they'll tell you about the elite 8 game where all they had to do was beat West Virginia to have a cake walk to the title game.

Yep, kinda like if Kendall Marshall hadn't gotten hurt in 2012, UNC would've had a cakewalk to the title. Oh well, shit happens...

Have you ever been in a cakewalk? People throw that term around but I've probably dropped $25 on 2 cakewalks, one just a few weeks ago at Jones Elem. School fall carnival, and I have never won shit. I burned through $11 at that one, even walking away at one point, like I was in a casino trying to shake bad luck at the table by going outside. It was the same old gambler's fever though. I knew eventually I'd go back inside and I was sure that I would win one of the nice pound cakes (one person brought a Walmart pound cake but cut it in half! ... also someone brought day-old Walmart cookies with the half-price sticker on it) but I never did. I'm pretty sure that fat, little black girl who was charged with drawing and reading the numbers was up to something fishy. I think she realized how desperate I was growing and probably read off another number at least a couple of times.

Beating WVa would have been easier than winning a cake...

Speaking of cakewalks, the Kentucky Department of Education has ruled that cakewalks in school functions are now considered gambling.....

I can vouch for that.

I stand corrected

You miss the point of the cakewalk. It is just another crappy fundraiser for schools to pick pocket the parents, family members, and co-workers.

Really? That totally makes sense now.

ATM - Minus 5 on cool points for not liking Tool.

Rat - With the Dream Theater and Tool song, I would buy an album of her and that band playing songs just like that.

along the lines of Tool, one of my favorite is the Low Fidelity All Stars.

Battleflag is a great song

aTm · Post by **aTm** » Mon Oct 28, 2013 10:41 am

Well, I definitely don't want to lose any cool points, so I'll revise below.

Tool is like so rad, man. They are a band that really, like, makes you think about stuff. You have to like really think about the lyrics and find the deeper meaning among all the prison rape, sodomy, and wrist slitting. And then you match it with their deep videos, I mean how smart do you have to be to match your awesome alt metal 7 minute song (because you just gotta get all that nerdy smartness in there, you cant cut any out!) with a sweet creepy, arty, Claymation video. Its like your eyes and ears are thinking about stuff all at the same time! Don't even get me started about the sweet metaphors these guys can come up with, did you know even their name is a euphemism for a dick! haha!

I would too. But it won't happen. She's moved on to the Cincinnati School Of Music now. I left the door open if they want her for any future things but I think they were pissed she left. She's 13. That's the way it goes.

She does have talent but she's grounded until she gets her grades up. That's the way it goes here.

Actually, I give that a 10. Good work, aTm...

Jonah Hill: So what have you guys been doing?
Seth Rogen: Oh we just hung out all day.
Jay Baruchel: Ate a bunch of dirty burgers, smoked about a fucking pound of weed, and played a bunch of video games.
Jonah Hill: Weed is tight, weed is tight. That's awesome.
Jay Baruchel: It's like the golfing sequence in Navy Seals.
Jonah Hill: Sick reference though bro.
Jay Baruchel: Oh thanks bud.
Jonah Hill: Dude, your references are out of control, everyone knows that.

so true. You need a mercilous child that will not other children off the chair in the cakewalk musical chairs.

You miss the point of the cakewalk. It is just another crappy fundraiser for schools to pick pocket the parents, family members, and co-workers.

True, but that doesn't interfere with Saint's competitive nature. Whatever the reason, I want to freakin win
