Purvis tweets

[WhereistheDove?]

For me, this is definitely in the conversation for worst thread in the history of the BY. Not only making a thread about a college kid's tweets, but making a thread over-analyzing tweets that say absolutely nothing.

 

[Stainmaster]

The fact that this thread has made it to a second page has eliminated all of my faith in humanity.

Clearly you are all just too closed minded to discuss speculation.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Stop the BS!! Those tweets are crystal clear. Anyone can see he is planning to transfer to UCLA with Hamilton.

Analyzing tweets is like trying to tap dance on a lake. Any sane person knows it isn't possible, and any fool who tries will end up soggy and wet.

 

[Gurleyman]

There wouldn't be any traffic anymore.

The Boneyard would consist entirely of Zymurg's beer reviews.

Hey - we just dropped a little bit of The Canterbury Tales in the Diamond Stone thread. That's not bad! (especially since it wasn't the part of The Miller's Tale where the guy gets a hot poker in the ass through the window).

I wonder what percentage of the people who get this reference possess English degrees.

On a side note, we can't use any slightly off color word here without being censored for fear of offending the sponsors. Somehow, I don't think the company behind the hot European singles ad offends easily....

Not making fun of you in the least, but it's amusing just how often we have "the worst thread in the history of the BY" around here.

Doesn't say much for us as a group.

Yep that only took 4 days before the first regular season game.
The Boneyard special "look who is not happy" thread soon to be followed by a "Look who is in the doghouse" thread.

 

[Huskies4ever]

Anyone that posts every tweet from an 18 year old all year long should be placed on "ignore" by every sane person on this board. Lord.

Yes, but, are there any sane posters on this board?

 

[Cheeky]

I must be old.
I dislike both Twitter and Facebook. Very much. Don't post on either. Don't read either. Think that the communication value they have provided has been offset by the collective lowering of direct human interaction and the onset of the immediacy culture, where people fall all over each other to be the first to post about trivialities that maraud as news, and where said posting gets amplified exponentially, regardless of merit. Like here, for example.

atleast this isn't as bad as the mack thread, where discussion of "bbc" has run rampant

Don't forget that before he gets the hot poker, he farts in the guys face so hard it almost blinds him.

We kept is as classy as we could.

That wasn't one of the highlights? Different strokes I guess...

pun.

Classy and educational. Now people know the origination of the expression "pain in the asset".

I thought Tevin Macks thread was the dumbest one on the boneyard yet, I lied, its this one.

This is a Boneyard meeting actually:

This is a Boneyard meeting actually:

When I worked in the corporate world, I prayed for this to happen (to someone else) every single meeting. Unfortunately, it was usually an SBD. All the pain, none of the amusement.

Nice integration there!

Gotta disagree. The SBD is perfect because it requires a silent game of Clue where everyone is playing, no one can acknowledge playing and the perpetrator is trying not to laugh.

We really don't need crap like this on the BY
This is a young man who has all the ability to be an outstanding player and who most likely will be one. It's early, he will acclimate. If he doesn't is it going to be life or death to any of us?
I have faith in KO to work with him.
Let's talk about more pertinent things than someone's tweets

we're in deep doodoo if we start hanging on teenagers' tweets.

I smells a theme here! I don't know if this is the worst thread of all time, but it's certainly a stinker!

Watching this Assumption game, 10 minutes in, I don't see the problems people are seeing with Purvis early. The first offensive foul he picked up was a bad call. He did exactly what he needed to do, make a cut inside. Defender was moving. 6 minutes to go, he backs his defender down, defender Duke flops, gets another offensive foul. On the bench. That's the extent of his first half.

I agree. Kid has had many positive moments. Maybe it's the human nature thing about expectations not being met or maybe people have an inherent dislike of those who appear out of control.

Fair enough. I guess I'm just an auditory guy.

 

[CallMeBruce]

There's no debate here. Farts are a thousand times funnier when there's a noise. Best fart noise is either the high-pitched toot or heavy, deep, vibrating rumble, with resonance.

Another good one is the SBD in to the elevator that transitions in to a crop dust as you exit the door for your floor. A real beauty when executed well.

This group is always one loss away from a meltdown. I stay off the board few a few days after every loss- it gives Freescooter a chance to post and a chance for me to miss it.

This is gonna be a rough year when we have people on the ledge after two preseason games. Of topic, remember when we used to play Marathon Oil in the preseason? What kind of a team was that anyway? Weekend warriors?
