TV's Frink

Rip, I'm not sure why stattracker would say you have -16.  There should be no negative points.  Keep in mind that stattracker is unofficial - the official scoring is shown the next day on the league page (click "full standings" for a breakdown).

Here's how scoring works.

Let's start with Runs.  The team with the most runs gets 10 points.  The team with the second most runs gets 9 points.  And so on, down to the team that is last in runs getting 1 point.  Each of the 10 categories is scored this way, so maximum points is 100 and minimum is 10.  Ties create the 0.5 points.  Looking at runs today, Bart and vfp are tied at the top with 3 runs each.  So instead of 10 points, each gets 9.5 points.

Scoring is goofy early on.  For instance, if you haven't had a pitcher play yet, you ERA is not zero, but rather blank.  So danielle, who has an ugly 9.64 ERA so far, is considered in 4th place in ERA, ahead of everyone who hasn't had a pitcher yet.  This will normalize quickly.

It's just an AMV set to the music of Adiemus and Karl Jenkins and cut to clips from Dexter's Laboratory, Jurassic Park, and Disney's Dinosaur.

 

And so, what do you see during my Dexter's Lab/Jurassic Park/Disney's Dinosaur AMV? What does the music sound like and what does it reminds you of? And what does the music contains?

It reminded me of My Little Pony, which you don't own all of that anyway.

One day to go.  I'm so excited!  And I just can't hide it!  I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!

And I find it hilarious...lord help me.

I'm holding you responsible Frink, I knew you shouldn't have said his name three times while looking in a mirror.

Forgive me, MOTHTHREEARE, for I have sinned.

As most of you know, I enjoy digging through the old ot.com threads, looking for material to add to my LOL collection.  But I fear I have gone too far.

For many nights, I have been tossing and turning in bed.  Strange voices and visions have clouded my head.  Somehow, I knew that I would not be able to rest until I returned to the place that had been haunting me night after night...

The ot.com Graveyard.

Yeah, it's kind of small, but still...

Anyway, I was drawn to the corner (the part you can't see in the picture).  There, I found a well.

Trust me, it's much spookier at night...

Anyway, every bone in my body said to stay away, but I was no longer in control of my muscles.  I was drawn to the well.  I looked down into the well...

And I found...

...a box.

Oops!  Sorry, wrong picture.  As I was saying, I found...

...a box.

I suppose it looks kind of silly now, but at the bottom of a well in a graveyard at midnight, it was super scary.

Anyway, the box had one word on it (on the side you can't see in the picture, unfortunately), and that word was...

TIM!!!

(I added the punctuation for dramatic effect)

Now, I thought to myself, "Self, what's the worst that could happen?  Clearly this is the infamous timbox129, and all opening this box will do is unleash more text walls about fictional movie productions in the year 2017."

But I was wrong.

I opened the box...for a moment, nothing happened.  And then...

...I blacked out.

(I blacked out in the well, not in my apartment, but you get the idea)

I had strange visions of insanity...

...devils...

...and zeppelins.

When I finally awoke in the morning, I found myself on a peaceful beach.

Everything seemed ok.  Until I heard a voice.  A voice that sounded familiar, and yet entirely alien.  The voice said...

I...

...am...

...timbox...

...2.0!!!

Oh, and to stay on-topic...

Well, While we're on the subject of my bobtherbuf and timbox129 videos, what did you saw or hear during any of them?

I saw Kim Kardashian in a pink bikini.  Hawt, my brotha, very hawt.

While we're on the subject of Dexter, what did you think of my giant back tattoo?

Here's the thing...if you have empty roster spots, there is no penalty for picking someone else up.  You can always drop them later if you want, at no cost to you.  And there's no limits on number of adds/drops you can do.

Look at it this way - you could pick up someone for 2 weeks, that keeps everyone else in the league from picking them up.

That is rough, and you only get 3 DL spots.  So you can either drop one of the players, or keep one in a BN spot instead of DL.

Warb, I believe you can still pick up a few players.  Your team page should tell you how many empty roster spots you have.

roster violators? 

Well, violators isn't the right term.  I just mean that several of you could be picking up free agents, and there are some good players available right now.

I always thought R2 was more important to Leia, even before the PT.  But I'm not sure I had good reason to think that way.  Just a feeling.

Jason Lee Apologizes to Ingo Why I hate "The Incredibles"

Last reminder, the season starts tonight.  Several of you have DL-eligible players that you can move to DL and pick up free agents.  I also see some empty roster spots, and even a few "NA" players.  "NA" players are usually ones that have been sent to the minors or have been suspended.

Normally I would just shut my mouth and try my best to win the league.  But since we have several newcomers to fantasy, I want to keep things as competitive/interesting as possible.

I will be shaming roster violators in public soon!

Ziggy or Janskeet. Someone's back. Not sure which though.

I don't think it's either.  I actually think it is the return of timbox129.  Look at the youtube clips tim posted in his other thread, for instance...

Posted by "timbox129" just a few days ago.  btw, I highly encourage checking out the various timbox youtube clips.

Very excellent work!

Oh, and on-topic...

Just curious how fishman is coming along with this project.  It's been a few months, so surely he's got some new clips to show us.

Wee wee and woo woo

Fixed.

Any updates?

It wasn't just a fanedit page.  There was an actual 41 part rar download...each part was only 4 MB.

If only we had a new member named 123Bracket to come in and explain himself, things would be much clearer.

Well, like tvbracket, he'd probably just complain about his Girl Restrictions.

So I take it the Backstroke of the Empire was an april fools?

Yes.

Did I dream there was a Grindhouse version of TESB on fanedit.org for all of a day?

No.  But it was a fake.  I got fooled :-(

While it might be true that tv bracket is UK's top brand for tv brackets, did you know...

123Brackets is UK's top brand for TV Brackets and TV Stands.

I feel...conflicted.

Also...

We have in stock Brakkets and TV Wall Mounts that are VESA compliant...

This must be an English-variant of "brackets."

I think this deserves a separate forum.

JAY!!!
