What’s in a Name.
Henry Imler February 28th, 2008
After watching the trailer for 10,000 BC, I think I remembered the original title:

Here is a sampling of its amasomness:
#72 Studying Abroad: In addition to accumulating sexual partners, binge drinking, drug use and learning, white people consider studying abroad to be one of the most important parts of a well rounded college education.
Study Abroad allows people to leave their current educational institution and spend a semester or a year in Europe or Australia. Though study abroad are offered to other places, these two are the overwhelming favorites.
By attending school in another country, white people are technically living in another country. This is important as it gives them the opportunity to insert that fact into any sentence they please. “When I used to live in [insert country], I would always ride the train to school. The people I’d see were inspiring.”…
Head go boom.

Am I the only one in the room that has been caught saying that they want to go and see 10,000 BCE when it comes out?

You must not hate; you must try to finish.
Henry Imler February 25th, 2008
“I don’t like the world… It’s not pretty. I won’t draw it pretty.”… “No, no. You must not dislike God’s world, Even if it is unfinished.” … “I hate the world…” … “”You must not hate, you must not hate. You must try to finish.” - Asher Lev and his mother Rivkeh
That brought me to tears tonight. It is from the book, My Name is Asher Lev. I am only 30 or so pages in, but the book has been so moving that I went ahead and bought a used copy of it (right now I borrowing a copy from a friend).
Zone
Henry Imler February 25th, 2008
What is the number one thing you need to do when playing against a 2-3 zone defense?
You attack the holes and kick out; you keep the ball moving and when holes develop, exploit them.
My teammates could not seem to understand this today. For them, the best way to play against a zone defense was to allow one person to guard 2-3 people because of poor spacing on our part and to never, ever attack the holes. Of the utmost importance was to have one guy standing around at the top of the key showcasing his fancy dribbling skills the whole while neglecting all manner of picks and would-be rolls while everyone else worked hard at getting open. It was a bit frustrating.
The Dative of Interest
Henry Imler February 22nd, 2008
1474. The person for whom something is or is done, or in reference to whose case an action is viewed, is put in the dative.
Oh yes, I finally got my Greek Grammar by Herbert Weir Smyth. I also picked up my “Middle Liddell” while I was at it.

The 5 Most WHAT! Presidents of All-Time
Here is but a taste of the golden goodness which is the article:
On one occasion, [Andrew Jackson] challenged a man named Charles Dickinson to a duel, (the reason behind it wasn’t important, not to us and certainly not to Jackson), and Jackson was even kind enough to give Dickinson the first shot. We’re gonna go ahead and repeat that: In a duel with pistols, Jackson politely volunteers to be shot at first. Dickinson happily obliged and shot Jackson, who proceeded to shake it off like it was a bee sting. When Jackson returned the favor, Dickinson was not so lucky, and that’s why his face isn’t on the twenty. The bullet, by the by, remained in Jackson’s body for 19 years because, we assume, Jackson knew that time spent removing the bullets would just fall under the general category of “time not dueling,” Jackson’s least favorite category.
Oh, and while I am on a topic that touches Andrew Jackson, go check out a brief history of his death, narrated by a drunken Mark Gagliardi and faithfully performed by Michael Cera : The Death of Jackson - A Narrative.

Gilbert Arenas on Shaq
Henry Imler February 16th, 2008
Loved this line from Gilbert Arenas on the Shaq trade:
Now Raja Bell has that big fella behind him so he might break out the clothesline once again, haha.
Nice one. That clothesline was one of the best playoff outbursts ever.
Rules that I don’t like.

Never end a sentence with a preposition.
Man, I love ending my sentences with prepositions as it seems to be the natural way to write in.

OMGOHYWOOT!
I think I’ll just continually loop that trailer until the real movie comes out.

Gods not believed
Henry Imler February 14th, 2008
Dan, at brendoman.com refers us to two lists of God’s that are rejected by two groups, Christians and Atheists.The question becomes: Why do you believe in only one of these - and what makes that one so special to the point of rejecting all the other ones? I encourage you all to answer that question as it is a worthy one. This is my best answer so far.
Help with Waterdeep
Henry Imler February 10th, 2008
Tonight as I was listening to the best rendition of a Christmas song of all time (The Barenaked Ladies’ version of Come Ye Merry Gentlemen), the band Waterdeep struck my mind. I remember really digging some of their stuff back in 2000, but then getting turned off my their indie-poser followers and sometimes pretentious music (then again, most of this exposure of their fan-base came from the Christian sub-culture at Lindenwood and the people at Central Christian). I can’t, for the life of me, remember what that stuff was of theirs that I liked. I remember both really liking and hating their stuff - but oh, did I like their good stuff.
Does anyone remember some of their good stuff? I don’t want to go out and buy their craptastic tunes.
Atheism Warning: The Amber Spyglass
Henry Imler February 3rd, 2008
Those of you that are thinking of reading His Dark Materials be forewarned. Atheism occurs on page 320 of The Amber Spyglass. You are welcome to attempt resistance, but it would be far easier to simply skip on to page 333 where chapter 24 begins.
Blow Up the Heat
Henry Imler February 2nd, 2008
It’s been a miserable season. Gambled for a championship, got it, and now are paying dearly (worst record in the NBA, losers of 19 out of 20 games) for loading up on old talent and short term contracts.
I just keep thinking back to that magical summer of 06 - its the only thing that keeps me afloat in the NBA fandom.
Update: They did. The Shaq trade will help the Suns greatly and the Heat will get much need flexibility. Add to that the number one draft pick this summer and hopefully the woes won’t go on for much longer!
Don’t Mess with Jesus, Infancy Gospel of Thomas Edition
Henry Imler February 1st, 2008
You know how in Texas there is a saying: Don’t mess with Texas.? Well the early followers of Jesus had something similar. Today’s gem of wisdom comes from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, chapter 4, verse 1:
Next, he was going through the village again and a running child bumped his shoulder. Becoming bitter, Jesus said to him, “You will not complete your journey.”
Immediately, he fell down and died.
Never, ever, think about bumping against Jesus’ shoulder. That dude is hard-core. Always check your subway cars for child-Jesus if you wanna make it to work on time… and alive.
Reading Group… Yes.
