Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Tuesday, September 15, 2009. But a funny thing happened during his acceptance speech. The real. Jordan showed his face. Here are some highlights from his speech:. On being passed over in high school for the taller Leroy Smith: “I wanted to prove to the coach who actually picked Leroy over me, you made a mistake dude.”. On roommate, Buzz Peterson: “He ain't never played against me yet, how did he become player of the year? Look at that line about.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. The Sunn O) ) also rises. I am fully aware what that the following paragraphs you are about to read sound hyperbolic, foolish, and/or just plain wrong. But Sunn O) ) (from now on, Sunn because I’m lazy) was, by far, the most unique live experience I have ever had. When I am old and grey, my memory fading, there is no chance I will forget even one aspect of what I saw that night. To my knowledge, no one puked or fle...

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Can't believe the candy companies didn't think of this. Posted by Satan Manning. Monday, September 28, 2009. My ass was happy to find an extremely padded seat waiting for me. There are cup holders for every seat and plenty of space (there are actually less seats). My favorite part of the new stadium is the same as the old stadium, The Bleacher Creatures. Chants were some real winners. My favorite was "Hey Drew!

Free the Basement: Untamed Might
http://freethebasement.blogspot.com/2010/12/untamed-might.html
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Saturday, December 4, 2010. Since it's inception, there have been many Youtube all-stars. Players who exist for the 30-second highlight. Players who once would have been lost in obscurity even 15 years ago, now find themselves cult heroes. Captain of the Youtube All-Stars as of 2010? By now, most of you have seen the way he ruthlessly murdered a Russian. But how about poor DJ Mbenga. I found myself gasping at the prospect of Griffin throwing one...

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Monday, October 19, 2009. The basement must live! As Grish said, we can't let this blog die. Unfortunately, all I do these days is work, go to the gym, and try not to spend money. This makes it really difficult to write anything of substance. Plus, DC is a city that is difficult not to spend money in. For some entertainment I pose this question:. What movies have you seen this past month and what'd you think? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Sunday, September 12, 2010. I grew up on games. I think our entire generation did, whether it was Monopoly or Risk or Pong. Even things like Hide-and-Seek, Tag, or, my personal favorite run-around-kids-game, Ghost in the Graveyard are simple games that teach kids rules, social interaction, and (some level of) critical thinking. As we grow older, games fade in the background and work. I had my current-generation gaming consoles stolen. See, now y...

Free the Basement: Not dead yet
http://freethebasement.blogspot.com/2009/10/not-dead-yet.html
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. I refuse to let this blog die. Not on my watch. Possible spoilers, definite formatting laziness ahead]. It’s really this slow build that makes Activity shine. Much like Audition (and really, all good horror), it lulls you to sleep somewhat, leaving you to question whether anything will ever happen. But you know it will. Just when and what becomes the tension. I can’t imagine what it was like for normal people. That s...

Free the Basement: Well I guess this is growing up
http://freethebasement.blogspot.com/2011/02/well-i-guess-this-is-growing-up.html
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Monday, February 14, 2011. Well I guess this is growing up. Today, we all are (apparently) Arcade Fire fans. Please, don't confuse my snark for displeasure. Arcade Fire are a great band and deserve whatever accolades come their way. But somehow this feels less like a victory and more like watching something you love slip away. Fans felt. Or Nirvana fans. On the one hand, yay! Success for the thing you like! On the other, "these people don't like...
