Well, unfortunate scenes just released from our Japanese contributor's house this morning:


But don't fear, he is a trooper and will no doubt be back soon. A few dozen broken bones isn't going to slow down Tet!

In the meantime, Game Thread! And what a game too! We have a chance to tie a record for the new millenium -- we have lost 8 in a row. Our best streak in the past 16 years was 9 games when we were actively trying to tank at the end of the 2009 season. So tune in for a little piece of history (13 is the all time Sacto mark btw -- within reach!).

Discuss. In excited whispers.

We worsen each game. Maybe this one break the tempo. Not very likely. Is there a point where a team gets so bad that the league steps in and creates a special draft for that team. Each team in the conference with the best overall record kicks in the names of two players from which pool we pick two players. Probably wouldn't help much but it would give us something to talk about. Meantime I'm going to a high alumni dinner tonight and will wear a purple and white dress shirt (open collar, of course).

Lets hope we don't get our head chopped off in Indiana. Want competitive game or I'll just do something else around mid 3rd quarter in too often thoroughly disgusted routine.

I want our head chopped off.

The recent state of affairs has afflicted me with a severe case of terriblisma. That should be the real topic of the month. Share and learn:

http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/000089.html

The Renaissance Italians had a term, "terriblisma," by which they meant the strange, gratified awe one feels when beholding dreadful disasters and acts of God from afar. The term may be six hundred years old, but the sentiment could not be more contemporary. In fact, terriblisma is a quite native 21st Century aesthetic.

We're somewhat ashamed of it, but the fact is, we're fascinated as well as alarmed by what's happening to our planet and its climate. We find ourselves riveted by strange occurances and ominous portents - like giant squid growing to montrous sizes in the warming greenhouse waters of our oceans, or the gigantic and ancient Larsen B Ice Shelf collapsing in Antarctica. Our televisions and computers bring us 24-hour-a-day weather porn of the unprecendented floods, massive fires, sudden ice storms, freak winds, and ever-stronger hurricanes and typhoons which have swept the planet over the last decade. Now Hollywood is getting in on the act.

The silver screen's supreme homage to terriblisma, the movie The Day After Tomorrow, will hit theaters worldwide next Memorial Day with a vision of a sudden climatic snap triggering a new Ice Age. Terrible. Awful. Dreadful. Pass the popcorn.

Forty-something plus one? Are we just going to keep making the [Game] threads forty-something plus X, until we play the Knicks game?
