I'm considering starting a thread about what we as a community feel is appropriate in game threads and in-game chat.
Talk me out of it, please.

I rarely join chat, and when I do it is for short bits. Mainly because I find it distracting.Quote:

To what I assume triggered you and your plea: I find overly negative and critical people very tiresome.

Berating a player who is giving a hell of a lot of energy for my university has it backwards IMHO. That player deserves respect, even if I am frustrated that she or he struggles. That should be when I support that player the most, not when I should abandon her or him.

I stay away from chat and the in-game thread because it distracts me from the game. I will check in if there was, in my opinion, a bad call to see if I'm alone in that thought but that is about it.
What if your coach bagels the conference schedule including the tournament? Can you disparage them? Goes by the initials CBD. (Coach...)

Was able to sneak out on a school night to see Todd Snider last week. I remember when people used to bring pencil and paper to a show to write down the set list as the show went along. Now you can practically see the whole thing online the next day. What a country! Found this clip - nice video, whoever took this was maybe about 10 feet in front of where I was standing. 23 East Cabaret / Brownie's / Ardmore Music Hall has been one of the mainstays of the Philly area live music scene (if you don't mind the obligatory name and ownership changes that come with the territory...)

But wait, there's more - 15 minutes of encore! (this dude is even closer than the other guy)
Like a Force of Nature, Iron Mike's Main Man's Last Request, The Blues on Banjo, Freebird (yeah, that one, no kidding)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN7I1Bp81Rg
I absolutely LOVE Todd Snider -- best songwriter you've never heard of -- and his live stuff is fantastic. Nis brand new album (Cash Cabin Sessions, Vo. 3) was pre-released this week and is very good.Quote:

Selected Snider comments from the show:
"I was lucky enough to write some songs with Loretta Lynn, and we recorded them at Johnny Cash's studio at his house. That's some pretty big name dropping, huh? Robert DeNiro once told me, 'Two's OK, three is too many."
"Yeah, my new record is called the Cash Cabin Sessions. I hate going to shows and hearing people play their new stuff. Nobody came here for that [crap]..."
Listen to some Todd Snider! [ducks behind OPK]Quote:

We got word the other day that one of the young Turks was feeling lowdown and bad, so he pops into the urgent care place, who ships him right over to the ER for a diagnosis of mono. He gets sent home with instructions of rest, tylenol, and fluids. This is our first exposure in the immediate family, so no one knows what to expect. I know the boy is in bad shape because I volunteered Mrs. Turk to whip up a batch of chocolate chip cookies and fedex a shoebox-full over to him (after I perform the obligatory quality control checks, of course), and he replied not to bother because he didn't feel like eating anything.
Interwebz says nothing to do except take it easy and ride it out, but that 2 to 4 week estimated recovery is a big wide window of time and it makes me nervous. He's a handsome sturdy strapping athletic lad, so I would expect him to bounce back sooner than most, but you always hear these crazy outlier stories...
Wishing a speedy recovery to the young Turk, and ease of mind to Turk Nation.Quote:

Had mono my freshman year at Duke. It took me 6 months to recover. It's really hard with strapping youths, but the key is NOT to push it. He won't feel well for a long while. He will probably feel better after 2-4 weeks, but he should take it easy for at least another month and listen to his body. If he's getting tired easy, rest. Pushing it will not help and might make it worse. Easier said than done but still true.Quote:

When he returned to NY his big time specialist doctor was impressed that a country bumpkin Dx was correct. Sheesh.
Anyway, it takes a long time and young Turk does need to eat well and try and take naps when he can. He can't get discouraged since,yes, it can take 6-12 months to feel normal.
Best wishes to the youngster!
Didn't we have a player with mono several years ago? Dunleavy maybe?Quote:

I think it was Joey Beard. But then multiple players may have had it.
