How drunk are you to pretend to be a former professional basketball player?Lets just say I played longer, and probably with more profit. A lot of it deals with getting into the right situation. Lot of luck, for all but the best.

Nicely done. I don't see anything to argue with here other than the Frost. Might just be personal preference, but I don't see how "Stopping By Woods..." could be Tier 4 and Road Not Taken be Tier 2. If anything I would switch the two.I'd also like to see J. Alfred Prufrock in Tier 1, but I can't see anything there I'd drop down to 2 in its place.get bent.I have a very rough poetry prelim, I guess I'll post it now just to get some discussion, but I have yet to read some of them and these definitely have a bias for those I've read and enjoyed...so these will change, perhaps drastically15 User(s) are reading this topic (1 Guests and 4 Anonymous Users)

How so???That is clearly what he is doing, to the detriment of the integrity of this endeavorYou're wrong about this. He did make a case. He stated that the level of greatness between the best albums was so thin that he did not want to have more than one album by the same artist. I disagree with this argument and stated why earlier. But your accusing him of just being obstinate and going with only his personal taste is far from accurate.Tim, should the Judge not also have to make a case for ranking an album so far below conventional wisdom??The Guy has made no case just a declaration

I can't really argue its ranking (much as I can't argue my Bukowski pick), but I'm with you--so great to listen to. We should have a separate draft just of poems that are great to hear. The Jabberwocky would fit that, as would this one, which I almost took instead of Nirvana (and expect it would have been Tier 4, too):Yo, P!

Well, I don't really have any objection to them, other than I think Rent should be much higher in the canon of musicals. I'm a bit sad to see The Music Man so low, but that's based on loving that movie and growing up having seen the play numerous times--it's probably a fair rating.You're quite welcome to give an opinion.Lost in the midst of this are tim's play tiers.

This is the greatest transmission in the history of human communication.Tides of War, I may be in love with you.I am competitive, determined, and doggedly soI have been dunked on by some of the best ever, and was back down scoring on them in 4 or 5 seconds. You Pout, or you play.There should've been a category for best shtick
I am driven, and love the fact that Basketball and Football are decided on the field, not like gymnastics or diving, which depends on the fairness and equity of judges.
When we lost, I lost, and I have a bitter taste, and more motivation to improve and win the next time.
I spent inumerable hours alone, shooting, dribbling, lifting, trying to get better. I hate to lose.
If striving for excellence, in any undertaking, and despising seeing some try to subvert the effort is "schtick" then I am guilty
