racist jeremy lin espn headline poll

I usually buy canned lychees because fresh lychees are so hit-or-miss. either fresh and unbelievably sweet and tasty, or they're unripe and sour or too ripe and off...

i'm sort of been mesmerized by the idea of having fortune cookie pieces in my ice cream since this ben & jerry's thing

The article said part of the reason they took them out is the cookie bits got too soggy. It would probably work if you added them on your own.

look for these in the candy section of ye international grocery:

"Chink in the armor" in a sports context is used to describe some kind of powerhouse (player, team), that has previously seemed indestructible that now exhibits a visible flaw, like if Michael Jordan had ever lost in the Finals.

Wasn't Lin being discussed as a powerhouse player though?

I have no idea what happened in this game where the writer used this headline tho

similarly, I am addicted to these:

it made sense... he had never really had anything close to a bad game before the one the headline was referencing

xxpost Yes, at the time he had just come off of a series of about 9 straight "o wau" games, including several where he won the game in closing moments. I just think "chink in the armor" being used for a player that had less than ten starts under his belt would be a bit premature.

Kind of wonder what kind of shitty pun the writer might have used if he wasn't Asian.

lychee schnapps <3

(though I admit the fake-Chinese name and design are a bit questionable for a drink made in the Netherlands, but, uh)

racist fonts really upset me more than racist headlines for some reason.

I once had some fresh lychees soaked in vodka. Super tasty + oh shit I'm drunk.

Easy way for Ben & Jerry's to have headed off that racial stereotyping dust-up: ask Jeremy Lin what kind of ice cream flavors he likes to eat, then play off those flavors to design a "Lin-sanity" flavor. <--- That will be a $50,000 retro-consulting fee, plz, and worth every penny I might add.

"Chink in the armor" would make sense if there were suddenly a specific, major flaw in Lin's play that lost them the game, like he suddenly couldn't pass. That wasn't even the case in the headline game, they just lost, and most of Lin's flaws were already known. Turns the ball over, can't go left, etc..

B&J: so what's your favorite...
JL: stinky tofu!

^^ would work well as part of the overall insanity theme.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

barkley will be pretty matty ice but that's still pretty good

the vague sadness of polls that went on too long

Yep, Linsanity came, then went for about 5 games, now hopefully is coming back.

I was at the ACC for Linsanity last night. Not very insane--six points, I think. It reminded me of driving to Detroit with my dad in '94 to see Griffey, and he didn't get the ball out of the infield.

yeah, that was hugely disappointing
