Survey Monday March 1st
-
Here is this week's survey. Give your opinions:
1. Who will get the most long term benefit from the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics?
2. Is the NFL combine worthwhile, or to some extent merely an indulgent exercize?
3. Were you paying attention Saturday to the fact that one of the worst Earthquakes in a century hit Chile, and that a potential massive Tsunami was predicted to hit Hawaii?
4. Are you, or are you about to be, or are you generally afflicted with March Madness?
5. Have you seen any of the movies nominated for the Best Picture Oscar? And if so, what is your choice to win?
To refresh your memory, here is the list:

The Blind Side
District 9
An Education
The Hurt Locker
Inglorious Basterds
Precious
A Serious Man

1. I really hope it IS curling. I think people like it because it looks like something most anyone could at least try without risking life and limb. If I had a chance, I'd love to take a turn in the bobsled.
2. The combine accomplishes several things: 1) gives the casual football fan a chance to see how players are evaluated 2)crystallizes opinions of players about whom there were questions 3)confuses the issue regarding players who perform better than they should given their play 4) gives players 'on the bubble' the chance to rise to the top 5) brings attention to a fairly useless 'intelligence' test.
3. Indeed. I get the feeling some people are disappointed that the tsunami watch was a dud. The lack of destruction was a blessing we should be thanking God for.
4. I enjoy watching real basketball fans go bonkers. Does that count?
5. I've seen Avatar, Up in the Air, and The Blind Side. I wanted to see a couple of others but just didn't make it to the theater for one reason or another. Of the three I did see, Avatar was the most beautiful, The Blind Side the most inspiring, and Up in the Air the best script/acting. I'd like to see more movies with clever dialogue and good acting so I'd like to see those things rewarded. I'm guessing that Avatar will win possibly because of the visual beauty and effective use of 3D which were, indeed, impressive for a visual medium.

Ono.
2. Is the NFL combine worthwhile, or to some extent merely an indulgent exercize?
The latter.
3. Were you paying attention Saturday to the fact that one of the worst Earthquakes in a century hit Chile, and that a potential massive Tsunami was predicted to hit Hawaii?
Not really.
There's endless quake coverage and the tsunami didn't happen.
4. Are you, or are you about to be, or are you generally afflicted with March Madness?
Can't stand it. Annoying waste of time. IMO.
5. Have you seen any of the movies nominated for the Best Picture Oscar? And if so, what is your choice to win?
All but AN EDUCATION.
It's out in Solon if you care to go.
AVATAR or THE HURT LOCKER will win.
Last week I'd have bet it all on AVATAR but HL got a second wind is moving up the rail.

only thing good queer-intino has done since pulp fiction was the grindhouse movie DEATH PROOF. and rodriguez's movie planet terror was the better of the two in that pack. he should also learn to not do cameo rolls in his own films seeing as his big j** schnozz takes up the whole movie screen. avatar should win, but don't know if there should be a separate category for over-the-top cg generated movies instead of just regular cinematography. cg has really gotten out of hand (check out the highlights for 2012......garbage).

Yes, Canada was very, very talented. I was rooting for the Americans, as always, But the Americans, specifically Debbie whatshername,
just had trouble when she needed to make a simple shot. They lacked touch in a huge way. At times, all she had to do, was just get
it there to the button, but she'd wimpy it, and it would stop way, way short. Or, she'd finally give it more weight, and it would be a bit too far.
The other gals were better. Debbie, at one point, even took herself out of the position where she'd go last.
The American men - eh, a bit crooked here, a bit overthrown badly there.
They tried. But the Canadians, I believe, have curling as a #2 sport.
I have never heard of a curling set up in our entire country. But it seems like it would be fun to try it sometime.

Maybe the Admins of this board can create a whole new chat board: ladies curling.
Or perhaps some entrepreneur could come up with a new start up league: Bikini curling.
By God then you might get some interest in curling in this country!

So, apparently someone has thought about bikini curling, though this video is not exactly what I had in mind.

Doesn't drool on the ice adversely affect play?

No, she asked if drool adversely affected play. I said it makes for a slicker rock slide.
That may actually be good or bad, depending on the type of roll you want to make.
I mean look here, if you really want to get into the intricacies associated with the strategies of Curling we can do it, but, I mean, you are going to have to bone up on the rules and strategies here. Perhaps a refresher course:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curling
I think we might all need it, if you really want to get serious.
Well, do you? Do you really want to get serious?
