Under The Microscope: Barfo

[gambitnut]

It is now time to move on and ask Barfo questions for the next two weeks. Ask what you want, but Barfo reserves the right to decline to answer any question(s).

 

[gambitnut]

This time I know who the winner is and I checked to make sure Barfo is willing to answer questions.

Sam Bowie or Darko, worst #2 pick?
Fav topping on a pizza?

 

[barfo]

Darko vs. Bowie: There are multiple answers here. In terms of what was known at the time of the pick, I'd say Darko was the worst of the two. Bowie was a legitimate candidate for the #2 pick at the time. Darko was a reach. In terms of hindsight, Bowie was a worse pick, because passing on MJ is something that you should never ever do - passing on Carmelo is not nearly such a big deal. In terms of how much the picks hurt the teams, Bowie was worse - the Pistons could afford to blow that pick on a long shot. As far as careers go, it appears that Darko will have a better career than Bowie, even if that is just a long-term journeyman role.

Pizza - anything is good, but olives are probably my #1 choice. Least favorite among normal toppings, pineapple.

Where is everybody? Barfo needs more questions than this.

 

[huevonkiller]

What do you honestly see the Blazers accomplishing in the upcoming decade? What move would you immediately make as a GM?

How fascist are you around here? I want you to compare yourself to another historical figure.

What are your thoughts on existentialism?

Sup? :O

 

[Big Frame]

Why do you think the "Bad Boys" are such underrated champs?

Where do you rank Clyde Drexler as a player?

Vinnie Johnson? Do you need to see the clip....

 

[barfo]

What do you honestly see the Blazers accomplishing in the upcoming decade?

I expect them to suffer a series of major injuries, have locker room issues, trade away the best players for overpaid has-beens, and have multiple off-court scandals. I expect Paul Allen to sell the team to someone who moves it to another city.

But I'm a bit of a pessimist, to be honest. It could turn out slightly better than that.

What move would you immediately make as a GM?

Job one is finding Kevin Pritchard's notes.

How fascist are you around here? I want you to compare yourself to another historical figure.

I like to think of myself as Vlad the Impaler.

What are your thoughts on existentialism?

I think Monty Python's Philosophers Song reflects my views on the subject.

[barfo]

Why do you think the "Bad Boys" are such underrated champs?

I do? Maybe because Isiah Thomas is so creepy?

Where do you rank Clyde Drexler as a player?

To be honest, I missed the Drexler era almost entirely, I just had other things on my mind back then.

Vinnie Johnson? Do you need to see the clip....

I'd need to see the clip.

Amazing, David Stern looks exactly the same today.

Am I soft for listening to this?

[barfo]

Music does not make you soft. Music only makes you stronger. Unless it kills you.

What should I eat for breakfast?

Prediction for the upcoming NFL season?

Underrated movies?

Coolest joke you know? :O

 

[barfo]

What should I eat for breakfast?

A supermodel.

Prediction for the upcoming NFL season?

It will bore me.

Underrated movies?

I don't see many movies. Last one was Slumdog Millionaire, which I thought was great.

Coolest joke you know? :O

I am utterly unable to remember jokes. Don't understand why.

What is a supermodel?

What do you think about cannibalism?

 

[barfo]

What is a supermodel?

A model, who is super. Super-duper. Like obscenity, you know it when you see one.

What do you think about cannibalism?

Tastes like chicken.

After the supermodel, what should I get for dessert?

After the supermodel, what should I get for dessert?

If you put a little whipped cream on the supermodel, you won't need dessert.
Besides, it's breakfast. How much dessert is really called for?

[barfo]

Who is the most interesting public figure lately?

Portland's mayor, Sam Adams.

Your favorite four bands, and why?

Why is because I'm very old. Some of these are not precisely bands, but here are 4 that I enjoy.
Hard to say they are my four top favorites, I'd have to study that question carefully.
Graham Parker
Gram Parsons
The Bobs
The Clash

I will, but that will have to wait until I get home, doesn't appear to be work-safe.

What are your thoughts on the NBA draft? Just a few days away you going to make any predictions?


Mock draft? :O

The Blazers will shock the NBA world.

Mock draft? :O

Can't do that, I don't follow college ball at all anymore so I have no idea who any of these guys are. I'll start paying attention to them on draft night.

What are your thoughts on the current presidency, barfo?

 

[huevonkiller]

What are your thoughts on Steve Blake?

If you want a point guard that plays off Roy, then what are you looking for exactly?

 

[barfo]

What are your thoughts on the current presidency, barfo?

I'm generally a supporter, although probably not nearly as rabid a supporter as I've led people here to believe.

What are your thoughts on Steve Blake?

He's ok. I hope KP can find us someone better, but Blake's been solid. I'd be happy to keep him around as a backup.

If you want a point guard that plays off Roy, then what are you looking for exactly?

I'm looking for Chris Paul. Have you seen him? Tell him I miss him.
