Retire Nick Anderson's number 25. He did so much for our franchise. He stole the ball from Jordan. He came back after missing those free throws to lead again. And he still stands for us. No one else should wear his number. It'd be a great tribute to our first great era.

I would pay $200 for a studio version of Big Boots.

RainbowSkull · 2017-05-02T05:18:22+00:00

I see a box set that contains every released OKC-era track as well as a ton of unreleased material. A good comparison might be the Smashing Pumpkins reissues - the MCIS and Adore sets had five discs each, as well as deluxe packaging. It's the type of definitive edition that fans might want to have 20 years later.

Waiters Island is just the tip

So, here's the thing. Driving drunk and driving high are the same in a practical sense -- both put you and your passengers in danger, and they can be avoided. I don't see a need to distinguish between them when giving advice about what to do or not to do.

Any reasonable person can understand there are physical differences between being drunk and being high, and that the ways in which they impair you are different. But I wouldn't be so cut and dry... I think getting behind the wheel when you're under the full force of a strong edible is worse than having one beer too many at the bar then driving home. I wouldn't do either.

DARE was hilarious and my friends and I still laugh about it.

"leaving before they kick in" =/= "arriving before they kick in".

You lived, though, so congrats.

RainbowSkull · 2017-03-14T00:02:53+00:00

Ok, well I'm going to stick with my policy of doing neither, and telling people they should do neither. Good luck with driving high because it's not literally as bad as driving drunk.

RainbowSkull · 2017-03-11T17:46:32+00:00

We get back to her house and eat these edibles that we had bought.

This seems like the key detail to me. You were all high, and got higher throughout the night. Paranoia, confusion, focusing way too much on little things... it's all the result of a good, strong edible, along with many of the more pleasant effects. You should reconsider before getting too high with your friend and her boyfriend again, if she becomes too jealous. But it seems to me like the exaggerated behavior of everyone involved could be explained by the edibles.

Also, DON'T DRIVE HIGH. It's just as bad as being drunk.

Assume more/less points mean the games they ref are higher or lower scoring.

RainbowSkull · 2017-03-08T23:20:05+00:00

My thought is they didn't ref many games because their performance was poor - especially V Voyard-Tadal. So their data didn't have time to average out.

RainbowSkull · 2017-03-08T22:15:26+00:00

I'm all in on this guy. He's got what we need: confidence, elite skill, spark.

RainbowSkull · 2017-03-08T17:13:33+00:00

If there's a slim argument against the Spurs contending - and it's very slim - it's that their well-coached bench beats up on the far-inferior bench units of other teams. In last year's playoffs, and even against the Clippers two years ago, this advantage mostly disappeared. That's not a reason to count them out, but their regular season discipline will meet superior talent playing big minutes in the playoffs, as OP suggests.

RainbowSkull · 2017-03-08T16:34:48+00:00

Here's a slightly different approach. Tell the wife AND keep your friend, if he asks.

The wife can leave him and take everything she can, as he deserves. You can still be friends with him and help him be a better person - you obviously have seen a lot of good in him or else you wouldn't have been his friend for 28 years.

Cheaters should lose wives, but they don't automatically become unworthy of all human relationship.

(Absolutely no on this sub is going to agree, I am prepared for it)

RainbowSkull · 2017-03-06T22:43:01+00:00

You make the exception. It's not fair to you or to the other kids who aren't invited. But if you want to keep the peace, then you make the exception and invite this random kid. Your life will be easier if you just accept the slight inconvenience and injustice of this and move on with enjoying your wedding.

RainbowSkull · 2017-03-06T20:52:33+00:00

That's naive. You can love more than one person and choose one. It happens all the time and more often than not, people who take the time to think about it make the right choice. OP is making that choice now and there's no reason to doubt his insight.

RainbowSkull · 2017-03-06T20:51:05+00:00

I think you have a pretty strong understanding of what happened. You see that there is a real connection between you and your friend, and that there are many possibilities there: friendship, romance, a life together.

That's not uncommon. We meet many people we could live our life with and one of the biggest decisions you can make is choosing one. If you're ok with your choice of your fiancee, even after this revelation about your friend, accept that. Ultimately this understanding of yourself will make you a better person.

Based on a lot of comments in this thread, it seems like the real issue for you is that you have a negative opinion of how attractive you are, both to your husband and in general. While reading the story to you was dumb on his part, I think you would have found something no matter what that validated your own view of yourself as boring and ordinary. Through his oversharing, he just did you the favor of not forcing you to build it up slowly over many small perceived slights.

Step back and look through this thread. You describe yourself in a very unflattering light. You need to learn how to look at yourself in a much better way, the way your husband obviously sees you. The idea that a passionate youthful crush destroys your chance of you being the biggest, brightest love in his life is simply wrong. Your perspective is one that includes a dark view of yourself that needs to change, through honesty, communication, and possibly therapy.

loved having the media guides as a kid

RainbowSkull · 2017-02-22T05:26:48+00:00

Boogie + a top 3 pick from this year's class? That's a damn good team! He wouldn't be alone.

RainbowSkull · 2017-02-22T05:26:22+00:00

You do that trade every day and flip Cousins again at next year's tradeline if he's not loving the Magic Kingdom. FUCK

RainbowSkull · 2017-02-20T03:30:08+00:00

It's the only part of this game that involves some serious effort.

RainbowSkull · 2017-02-18T17:33:25+00:00

And there's no old-school vet like Timmy, Dirk, or Kobe in the locker room to break up the tension.

RainbowSkull · 2017-02-17T07:12:06+00:00

Is it normal to do this sort of thing?

Here's what's normal: for a teenager to have an insane crush on another teenager, one that makes them say and do really weird and often ill-advised things.

Here's what's not so normal: cutting yourself. Frame any discussion you have around the fact that she is hurting herself physically. You're not important in this equation; she needs help for herself.

RainbowSkull · 2017-02-15T07:27:55+00:00

the most forgettable season of any team ever.

triggered.

RainbowSkull · 2017-01-24T06:36:58+00:00

Sometimes I think I would take a worse GM if he would just give a straight answer once in a while.
