ASK KARL MALONE

dear karl malone, a friend is coming into town. how many games would you recommend that we bowl?

6335, to be perfectly honest with you, the Mailman is a big dude now, so I can do some damage to some fried chicken. That's why I'm in Hardee's fried chicken now. Do you know how big their pieces are? Look at them! Big, crispy and juicy - now that's what I call a piece of chicken. KFC's little ol' breast pieces can't touch this!

King Boy Pato,

1) Are you kidding? John Stockton was and still is greater than Michael Jordan. I'm pretty sure no one would disagree with that.

2) As I mentioned earlier, Barkley's round mound draws away all the attention when we tango. I don't even remember me and him talking about anything except for that.

csa, I am sick of you bringing up dark chapters of my life. Besides, I thought Sissy was dead. Wait, Sissy was dead! Shit, Karl Malone has serious problems with the undead now, and he's all out of healing items.

Kamerad, whenever someone asks me how many games they should bowl when their friend gets into town, I always recommend bowling continuously until everyone gets cranky and starts to argue with each other. Only when your friendship is in severe jeopardy will you truly learn how good of a bowler you can be.

Hey Karl,

Do you do any outdoor training in the hot summer months?

Yours,

Abbott

Abbott,

Start by doing 300 reps of this exercise every morning. I'll give you more deets later.

NNMPH!

Z S,

Who told you to answer Karl Malone's question? 300 reps of the one-armed-pancake dance? In your dreams. That's ridiculous.

Abbott,

Here is the best advice in the world on physical fitness: "Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity."

You know who said that? I DID. Karl Malone invented that thought. Let me break it down for you: if you don't work out everyday, outside, you're a dumbass. I have never met a creative person who did not work out earlier that day, outside. Here are some more of my quotes:

"I just realized that not only early in my career but, if I was going to play longer, guys foul you when they get tired.

I just think we want to stay healthy, and I don't think we think about a sense of urgency. We realize how old we are, we realize we've been playing this game for a long time, but you know what? We're not done yet.

I think we're a deeper team, a better team, we still have work to do... nothing is guaranteed, but hopefully we got the mentality to play on the road, and we're starting to get our home thing back in order now-if we can do that we'll be just fine."

Now, how could I say these things without training outside? That's right, it would be impossible. Now get your ass outside and start lifting.

Karl,

What is your favorite city in Utah?

– Abbott, Former Utahan

Abbott,

That would have to be the town of Enterprise.

Know why? Because it's located close to the point of lowest elevation in Utah: Beaver Dam Wash. That's right - BEAVER! DAM! wash. Also, "Enterprise - we'll pick you up!" I bet they just rent cars all the time and laugh and laugh in Enterprise. ahahaha

Karl Malone,

Do you have any cool fashion advice for a lady in her mid-20s?

Abbott,

I do. Let's go from top to bottom.

You're gonna need a cool hat.

Dying at this.

This is one of the best & funniest threads! I think it helps that Mr. Malone is the only sports figure I know anything about.

Trail Blazers history: Karl Malone, with help from Dave Checketts, reveals psychic powers to David Kahn

“You guys might laugh and say I’m crazy, but I do believe I have psychic powers,” Malone told the two reporters. “I don’t have the power to just sit here and move stuff, but I do have the power to look into the future.”

According to a story Kahn wrote for The Oregonian, Malone said he inherited his psychic ability from his mother, Shirley Turner, who also was psychic. Although she had nine children, Malone was the only one to gain his mother’s “special talent,” Kahn wrote.

Dear Karl,
Is there a freeware animated gif program that would let me easily overlay text in multiple frames?

https://40.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3w6bcQznJ1r10tndo1_1280.jpg

i can't say i have a ton of experience with it, but GIMP is a free photoshop...imitator. i hesitate to call it a "clone" because i just tried using it for 20 minutes and it made me want to throw my computer out the window. but it's free. it's animation capabilities are extremely limited and it is the opposite of user-friendly. i managed to use a terrible guide (http://www.wikihow.com/Make-an-Animation-in-Gimp) to make this:

http://i.imgur.com/9hB01pC.gif

even just doing that was a struggle. where photoshop has an animation timeline where you can pick the number of frames and choose which layer(s) to display in each frame, GIMP requires you to create a single layer for each frame. so if you want a 10-frame GIF, you have to create 10 separate layers. then, to preview it, you click Filters>Animation>Playback, which lets you adjust the framerate and that's about it. It doesn't let you adjust the order of the frames, blend multiple layers in a single frame, or anything like that (at least not that i could figure out). then you can export the image as a GIF.

(i think GIMP also has a separate animation package called GAP that you can add that gives you more options, but in looking at screenshots and descriptions of it it looked like it was also pretty clunky)

I'm not sure that this is working correctly but I'm playing marble madness here: http://www.twitch.tv/weinventyou

if it's actually working please type a message here or on twitch (if you have an account). the setup was ultra-confusing for streaming mac games with voice in a separate channel (too convoluted to explain)

if i can figure this out i will attempt to do a marble madness marathon later, i just want to confirm that the audio isn't completely fucked up first

karl malone, i see u

oh nice! i see you! i feel weird.

brb putting hall and Oates on loop gotta get the mood right

It's working well! Audio/visual

Did you JUST shut it off?

sweet, it appears to work. yeah, i'm going to be back at 7pm EST (an hour from now) to play for real. gotta walk the dog and get a bite to eat.

my plan is to play marble madness over and over and gradually get my mad skillz back. i used to be good, but that with a real NES and a real controller. now i'm using an emulator and my cheap mac controller is really laggy - makes it difficult to play twitchy (pun intended) games like marble madness, but whatever.

might be back earlier if i can run my errands more quickly! brb
