Wow, I am surprised Fink didn't make the VINH ignore list and I did. I now feel like I hold a very honored position.
And I feel disrespected! What the hell VINH, ignore me already! What does CP3S have that I don't?
Wrong thread, but this just makes me want to say....
Penis!
Who, me? Why would Ric want to speak with me? Now I'm nervous...
lol
And also, Penis! Yeah, that is fun.
It's funny, I'm still not on his ignore list, even though I practically begged him to do so.
He's now on my friend list, not because I'm not on his ignore list, but because he's officially the most entertaining poster here. Even better than Ric Olie.

...after a $2,000 tranny replacement...
Now that people are more comfortable with the whole gender issue, you can usually get that done for under $799.

...the excellent Yahoo fantasy game has made me take an interest again, mostly because I actually know the rosters again.
Hey, another potential recruit for our OT.com fantasy baseball league. And you already play Yahoo, which is where I play. Great!
Well, I can't see that video above, but I know for a fact that Ady was going to insert Brittany Murphy into the Falcon/Tie asteroid field chase.
No time. Remind me later.

Man, it is getting nerdy in here.
Getting?
I include myself in that dig, of course.

Bravo Captain, your last wish may have been impregnated with enough Force. Looks like it worked !
I will not be silenced! Bring it on, delusional "Captain" man!

Frink... be prepared to lose track of the next three days.

Well that was weird. Extremely funny, but weird.

So, getting back to the playoff system...
What about the argument that it would interfere with the player's end of semester final exams?
If I'm not mistaken, the basketball tournament often interferes with spring exams, and they seem to do fine. And let's be honest here, most of the players aren't exactly taking Rocket Science 101.
Aww C3PX, you edited your post. I liked the previous version better. And it made me go back and read the last few pages again, where I found this:

As it stands, there's too much argument and bad blood on this thread, and I don't want to be taking part in that, so I'm going to absent myself from this thread. Feel free to slag me off or discuss 3d or whatever suits you.
All I did was what VINH told me to do. Guess I can't win ;-)
I can definitely buy that, C3PX.

Yes, John Tesh is as much country as I am a female Eskimo.
Well, to be fair, xhonzi can't tell your gender or descent, what with your giant Spaceballs helmet and all.
xhonzi said:
Oops.
John Tesh is teh suck!
lol
xhonzi said:
I don't like country music as a rule.
Wait, isn't he new age?
Also, I think he wrote the "NBA on NBC" theme song, which is an example of sports talk that is allowed in this thread.
xhonzi said:
At every age I has seen out as a baby!
Did you get that from a fortune cookie?
Lol, was making one as you typed your post.

I've always just assumed so, since it seems to be a popular position. But I've never actually heard the man's music, as far as I know. It doesn't seem like the kind of music I'd like, but perhaps someone who has actually listened to him could chime in.
And no sports talk allowed in this thread. Unless it's John Tesh related.
Vaderisnothayden said:
Nothing in what was said to me in the other guy's post was necessary. All of it was obvious and just defensive defense of liking sports. It wasn't a case of anybody telling me anything insightful about their liking of sports.
Why don't you just put me on ignore already so you don't have to read my unnecessary posts anymore?
Warbler said:
Maybe what Frink said wasn't meant just for you was just to the anti-sports people in general.
It was only directed at VINH with respect to him saying "who cares?" When he says that, it sounds like he's implying that not only does he not like sports, but anyone who does like sports is wrong.
Damn, I said I was giving up.
xhonzi said:
John Tesh sucks.
What? I'm outraged! I feel a certain non-word forming on my lips. (should that be fingers rather than lips?)
I'm done too. VINH, I hope you enjoy Avatar. We all know you're going to see it. You've been programmed to do so.
EDIT: I give up. I'm going to go watch some sports and listen to John Tesh.

Sure, I'll go ahead and condemn myself on this point too. I play video games, which serve very much the same purpose, I suppose. Though, if you add up all the hours I play per week on average, and compare it to the time it takes to ONE sports game on TV, I still have less hours of my week tied up on my mindless hobby.
A college basketball game takes two hours. A pro football game takes three hours. I'm guessing that for nearly all who play video games (I'm not one of them, though I used to be), they spend much more time per week than that on video games. Not saying you don't, just saying you're probably in the extreme minority.
Incidentally, sports on tv usually serve as background music for me (or visual background music, if that makes sense). I rarely sit on the couch for a three hour stretch and watch every play. I'm usually doing other things at the same time, more important things such as paying bills, and just checking in on the game from time to time. It's something you can do with sports that you can't do with a movie or a tv show that you haven't seen before.

However, I don't feel Star Wars really fits with the same thing. Star Wars is a movie I watched a lot when I was a kid, but at this point (other than Trooperman's edit) I can't remember the last time I watched a Star Wars film. It was actually probably when Adywan released Star Wars Revisited. Even if I were to watch the entire original trilogy once a month, the number of hours I'd waste on the things would probably still be a lot less than your typical sports fan wastes watching grown men toss inflated balls around.
You can substitute any movie or tv show for Star Wars, and it doesn't have to be a movie that you watch a lot - what about movies that you watch once? I assume you watch other movies? The length of a college basketball game and a typical movie are pretty close (and about equal if you DVR the game). I agree with your assesment of a typical sports fan, but I'd argue they aren't typical, they're just louder with their opinions. Personally, I only talk about sports with people I know are interested (this thread excepted), and I certainly don't try to convert anyone.
xhonzi said:
Ric,
While you are at the black market selling my kidneys, perhaps you could buy back TV Frink's hands. They are yellow and smell like cheese.
It's all good. I've got new hands that are far superior now. They have five fingers each and smell like baby lotion.
Vaderisnothayden said:
Jeez, it seems you can't dislike something on these boards without getting lectured at. Why do people keep thinking that just because you dislike something they like it means they have to defensively defend their liking it?
Lecture? Defensively defend? What the hell are you talking about?
TV's Frink said:
And the millions of people who watch care. As Warb said, sports are a diversion. A way to enjoy life. Just like music, books, movies. Just like Star Wars. I don't have any problem with people not liking sports, just like I don't have any problem with people not liking Star Wars, Douglas Adams, or John Tesh (well, maybe John Tesh). But there's nothing wrong with liking sports either.
Where's the lecture? How am I being defensive? I said there's no problem with people not liking sports, and there's no problem liking sports. Does it bother you that I like sports? Why would you care?
C3PX said:
A diversion... as in a way to put your brain on park and fill it with things that don't matter so you don't have much room left to worry about the things that really do matter. I used to consider that a very harmful excercise. But I guess presently I can sympathize. In this day and age, drifting through life doped up on fluff while feeling sucessful at your career and life in general is probably the ideal life for most people.
C3PX, usually I enjoy your posts but you've confused me with this one. Are you not a Star Wars fan? Is there any difference between siting on the couch and watching Star Wars or watching sports, as far as filling your brain with things that don't matter? Do you spend your whole life doing things that "matter?"
