I get you, and I agree that most of those guys were >/= Wade at their respective peak. But the only shooting guard who was better was Jerry West and even then it’s close. A case could be made for Havlicek but he was more of a 3. As good as DJ and Sam Jones were, I personally think Wade was a lot better.

At his peak he was averaging about 19 points, points, 14 boards, 5 assists, 3 blocks, and a steal in ~33 minutes a game while playing first team All-NBA level defense. He was more of a facilitator than a scorer and basically ran both the offense and defense for a very good championship team. His play those couple of…

Top 50 career for Walton? Maybe, maybe not. But peak Bill Walton was probably a top-ten all time player. Career was unfortunately derailed, but his talent and impact early on gets overlooked. Maybe the best passing big ever.

The 2006 Finals beg to differ. Wade’s recent injury trouble prevents him from having a top three career, but peak Wade was a top 5 peak shooting guard without a doubt.

If you’re in the general vicinity of Mt. Tamalpais, try Spirit Works out of Sebastopol. It is excellent. They also make a very good sloe gin, which is not an oxymoron.

Depends on what kind of dip is on the menu, which, in contrast to the woman in this story, I generally look at before ordering.

I think he’s encouraging you to invest in the onion market.

Actaully, Four Roses went away for a long time but returned 10 or so years ago re-branded as a better than decent mid-shelf bourbon, on par or slightly better than something like Old Forester. Their standard yellow label is solid and some of their small batch stuff is quite good.

Indeed. And I forgot Kentucky Gentleman, which is actually a fair step below Kentucky Taven. And that doesn’t even get into the “blended whiskey” shit like Ten high.

I distinctly remember one Sunday in college stoned laughing for hours after listening to John Madden repeatedly commend some team for how their power running game was able “ram it up the A hole.” Just over and over.

Watch what you say about Ancient Age, friend. That shit is quite decent. At least one full shelf level above your Kentucky Tavern or Heaven Hill. I agree with your sentiment, but you need to find a better example of shitty whiskey.

I recently went to Iceland and this setup was standard. Made so I had to take my socks off if you wanted to piss soon after my wife or I showered, but otherwise not a bad design. Some places provided a little squeegee, which helped.

I still have the record and I still ocassionally play it. My favorite by far, although Aladdin is not bad by any means nor is Jungle Book.

Indeed. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone.

Answering phones at a pizza delivery joint, I often fielded the question, “So, how big are your 14 inch pizzas?” When I had the time, I would ask them to “Picture a ruler, then add about two inches- you know maybe half your middle finger. About that big across.” When I didn’t, it was a deadpan “14 inches.”

Or, upon looking at a small group of goats or sheep, “So, whadya feed those things?”

I worked in a summer camp kitchen where we would order huge boxes of peanuts, cashews, etc. to make snack mix. On the outside of every box in large bold lettering was a message that read “WARNING: May contain nuts.” Well, I would fucking hope so.

My dad loves to tell the story of being on vacation in Minnesota as a kid (he grew up in rural Kentucky) and being asked by the waitress in a heavy accent whether he’d like Soup ‘R Juice. He responded that, no, regular juice would be just fine.

Come to West Virginia and see just how healthy modern society has made our population. Technological and medical advances are great, but if you lack the privilege to take advantage of them, they don’t mean shit.
