              Agrd. Hopefully they can be a little less burdensome here than they were over there – I was getting pretty burned out coming up with questions towards the end of last season.

              A soliloquy of fresh-sounding ideas which would probably be disastrous.
              • nevermoor Jan 18,2012 10:05 am || Up

                We should definitely put some thought into how to help with that.

                  I preferred your style of questions, which were more straightforward and easier to write. There were times when I spent a lot of time trying to come up with something that was new or different and it failed disastrously.

                  A soliloquy of fresh-sounding ideas which would probably be disastrous.
                • nevermoor Jan 18,2012 10:16 am || Up

                  Yeah. For me I liked having a few canned questions and just needing to find some that highlighted something in the matchup I found interesting.

                  Still, it’s a long season.

                  I didn’t participate in them because I knew I’d slack off and fall behind, but I thought it’d be interesting sometimes if someone who doesn’t play every day is one of the questions once in a while. Make people think about, first of all, will he play? Then how much, and try to guess based on that.

                • No Broader Work (PDXAthleticsfan) Jan 18,2012 10:20 am || Up

                  There were definitely a few questions like that – I’m guessing I could find a couple about Powell, for example.

                  A soliloquy of fresh-sounding ideas which would probably be disastrous.

                  Standardize the questions with maybe one “special series” question. If you do that, it would probably be “relatively” easy to program that to collect data etc.

            I used to do stream-of-consciousness improv songs about people walking by, and when they’d realize I was singing about them, they’d often stop and request songs about certain people/topics and I would happily oblige.

          Jennifer: Take this lifeboat to the enchanted isle of Asslantis!

          elcroata: My statistical charts indicate that if we choose right now to go to Asslantis, our likelihood of all drowning is 97.465%. If, however, we choose to pick up the plover’s egg, we have a 55% chance of moving out of the cave. On the other hand, if we choose to turn left, we have to GO TO PAGE 34.

        “I was trying to get people to get into the boats in an orderly fashion. Suddenly, since the ship was at a 60- 70-degree angle, I tripped and I ended up in one of the boats. That’s how I found myself in the lifeboat.

    To read Romney’s platforms is to know this:

    But compared with recent Republican nominees, Romney’s policy platform is quite conservative, and arguably even a bit extreme. George W. Bush, for instance, looks like a Kenyan socialist in comparison.

      It’s hard to imagine that party platforms could get any less relevant to the actual policies being advocated and why that means people should vote for that party. But the platforms these days are nothing more than a meaningless way top appease the extreme elements of the party (both parties), so yeah, there’s still room for them to become even less relevant.

      Mitt Romney says that we should discuss income inequality, if at all, only in “quiet rooms.”

      You know who else said that certain things could only be discussed in quiet rooms …

    Damn, son.

    Democrats and organizers filed petitions Tuesday afternoon with more than a million signatures as they sought to force a recall election against Gov. Scott Walker – a massive number that seems to cement a historic recall election against him for later this year.

    It would mark the first such gubernatorial recall in state history and would be only the third gubernatorial recall election in U.S. history. Organizers Tuesday also handed in 845,000 signatures against Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch as well as petitions against four GOP state senators including Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald of Juneau.

    And Obama wins Wisconsin.

    Random acts of journalism!

    As a young reporter at the Chicago Tribune in the early 1970s, Pam Zekman had repeatedly asked her editors to buy her a tavern. Then she went across the street to the Sun-Times, and she found an editor ready to say yes.
