I have been doing several of these things, maybe all of these things?? I'm going crazy waiting for the season to begin! Fan Fest is looming on the horizon like Christmas in 1984!
Here's something I found at a very scary garage sale. I snapped the photo, but did not buy. Those dolls had myriad stories of pain and depravity in their tortured eyes. I hopped in my van and fled the site posthaste!!
I think F1 is pretty intense. Not in-person NASCAR, though? Makes me think of a quote: "There's nothing like gettin' shit-faced and going deaf in 110F degree heat and watching cars drive in a circle for several hours."
How can I embed this photo? It's not obvious what it's showing on the sides and those are the most notable freaks that everyone must see.
A friend took me to SINferno at Dante's years ago. For those who don't know what SINferno is, the SIN stands for Sex Industry Night, and locals in the sex industry (aka strippers and such) get together and put on a cabaret show. It was really cool, really Portland. There were topless jugglers, people spinning on wires from various body piercings, just a lot of strange stuff. One act, this woman came out topless and knelt down in front of a small table with a class bowl on it. Beside was a bag. She started reciting this poem about her childhood and her mother. As she was speaking, she pulled out a doll and placed it in the bowl. Her poem took a darker tone, her mother abused her, neglected her, she then poured liquid on the doll in the bowl. She is talking louder, and louder, she reaches into the bag, grabs a lighter, and sets the bowl on fire. Then, as she is calling out, "Mom! Mom! Why did you abuse me?" she pulls out a large knife and starts stabbing the flaming doll. It was fucking epic! And that, kids, is how I met MrsPokerDog!
The way "Mrspokerdog" rolls off the tongue is oddly efficient, but at the same time, it is a little triggering. This story must be embellished, but sounds like a Portland thing. Aren't you worried that talking about sex or even mentioning sex and other such things will get you labeled a monster, a child, a moron, etc.????? I find it to be perfectly acceptable conversation. Unless it's at the dinner table at the Grandparents house or something.
What does this have to do with the Trail Blazers rotation and how they will play defense this season?
It has EVERYTHING to do with it! You bring up a very good point. Players, especially rotational players, will have to play defense throughout the season in more ways than just on the court. Do you realize the constant waves of women launching themselves at NBA players is downright ridiculous? Being rich, attractive and carrying the prestige and notoriety of being a baller is like sugar to ants, but these ants bite and bite HARD! Defense! Doon! Doon! Defense! Doon! Doon! Defense!!! This is where the defense off the court comes in against the constant threat of sex! Look at Thybulle, do you think he can jump and swat 3-point attempts with ease if he just let himself be pulled into an adjacent hotel room on a road trip, and subsequently smothered by 2 -5 F.A.B.'s??? That's FINE ASS BITCHES to those who aren't in the know. That candy will SAP your strength BIG TIME! Not to mention the risk of STI's, pregnancies and all kinds of legal entrapments. These females come out of the woodwork in every city around the NBA circuit. NBA groupies are hungry and will stop at nothing at the chance of a lavish financial future, with a spattering of physical, if not emotional love. Players constantly have to guard themselves and resist temptation from the considerable lure of that age-old problem of too many flowers wears that busy bee OUT! Defense! There's much more to NBA discussion than just on court play, ya know. People talk about lots of off-court topics of drama and whatnot. Besides, sex is part of everything! It's in every NBA advertisement, games are filled with it (don't get me started about the cheer squads!), at the concessions, the media coverage and especially the people chosen to cover the team (I'm talking about YOU Danny Marang and Brooke Olzendam!!! Both utterly DRIPPING with sex appeal and their wanton wiles waving wildly around!!) You can't hide from sex. It's everywhere and it WILL get to you. Sex sells and it goes hand in hand with the NBA and pro sports, moist especially.
