I had an episode of sleep paralysis. I was on a business trip asleep in my hotel room. I became semi-conscious and couldn't move and felt/saw the presence of hooded figure standing next to my bed leaning over and (it appeared) looking at me. I fell back asleep, checked my door in the morning...

No problem here. People ARE seeing things. (Although I'd be my retirement there are also Bigfoot cranks manufacturing evidence for a variety of reasons.) The human tendency throughout history when observing unexplained phenomena is to attach supernatural explanations to them. Just because some...

I'm not a physical scientist, but I'm 100% certain there's no Loch Ness monster, no Big Foot, no ghosts, no fairies, etc. I'm confident 25-50 years from now the same will be true. This is a rather broad blanket statement.

Oh Lord, really? Coming soon, threads on Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, astral projection, crystals, QAnon, etc. It never ceases to amaze me that we're in the 21st Century, with educational attainment at its highest peak in the history of human kind, and there is still no shortage of people who...

Harris is one of few PF's who create off the dribble and run the pick and roll well. Among PFs, he's among best going to the basket and shooting 3's. He'd fit beautifully in the Jazz system and take a good deal of pressure off DM. Not that I'm optimistic we'll get him.

Circling back to this. Kanter and Hood are who they are: offensively skilled but defensively challenged. Hood also is terribly inconsistent. Thus not surprisingly, Kanter's playing time steadily diminished against GS and Hood finished the GS series with a couple of woeful performances. You...

I think this is most likely. In addition, I think we would try to pick up another PG and sign some other 2nd 3rd tier role players to fill in holes. While I hope it doesn't come to this, I'm not confident that we're going to land any difference maker FA. I'm mentally preparing myself for...

Well, a 9 ppg bench player can be a valuable role player. Every roster needs role players like this. So, yes, we do want a roster spot for someone like this. Do we want to wait 5 years for this to happen, no we do not. In Grayson's case, I think he could quickly become a 9 ppg player and...

It is a constant source of wonderment for me why so many people make it their business to oppose/hate/discriminate against/meddle in the lives of/etc. people who are different. So what if someone identifies as trans? What does it cost anyone to acknowledge their humanity and treat them with...

I imagine that if you randomly pick any big name, blue chip school you will find plenty of players who suck in the NBA (e.g., NC, UCLA, Kansas, Indiana, Kentucky have all had their share), plus plenty who have done well. Duke stands out for the relative quantity of players it's placed in the...

CJ has forged a nice NBA career. If Allen becomes a consistent rotation player like CJ, that's a big win for him and Jazz.

If North Africa was a bit of a side show to the main event, it was a crucial testing/learning ground for the US and British armies, including the officer corps. I've long thought allocating so many resources to N. Africa was one of several strategic blunders Hitler made.

I'm on a roll. I'm still waiting for the first movie or TV program in which an attractive, slim, muscular man is paired with a frumpy, overweight woman (think the opposite of King of Queens, Jim Belushi Show, any current movie that stars John Travolta). The social pressure women have to remain...

Agreed. Aged better than 98% of the men who mock her for her looks.

I assume this was posted to mock JLo for her less than perfectly svelte body. I always find it interesting when I see/hear men who no objectively honest women would call svelte or attractive (e.g., TrumpsterFire) mocking woman for their looks/body. I honestly believe the average middle-aged...

This whole championship or bust mentality is, IMO, silly. Odds are against Jazz ever winning an NBA title. More realistic goal, and one guaranteed to cause less wasted worry and anguish, is to get into final four of conference each year and then hope things break your way. Using championships...

Says the person who regularly complains to his fellow incel, white nationalist discussion board participants about reverse racism against whitey.

Nice, except Karma's a myth. Bad people, particularly the wealthy and well connected, have gotten away with bad acts and prospered because of them since the first single cell organism crawled from the sea to breath air.

Or at least El Alamein.

The LDS Church as 'laws' against masturburation. Not that they've had much effect other than to make lots and lots of boys/girls, men/women feel very, very guilty for engaging in a pleasurable, natural, and harmless expression of their sexuality.
