Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Chris Myers, International Man Of Mystery

*looks around*

*takes off face mask*

Thefalcon_medium

Chris Myers: Infiltrating Qatar's national falconry team has been harder than I thought it would.  Especially with how hard it is to breathe under this mask.  The CIA did a great job getting me here, keeping me undercover by giving me a job no one expects a spy to have: a vacationing football player.  But my time is running out, and I need to find those chemical weapons facilities before all is lost.

Falconer: (Hey rookie, get over here, I want to see your skills.)*

*quickly puts mask back on*

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: Okay coach!  Oops, I mean, (okay coach!)

Falconry_tcm65-4917_medium

Falconer: (Is something wrong?  Your face looks a little flat.)

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: (No, no, I'm fine.  Just...desert fever.  Yes, that'll do.  What is it coach?)

Falconry_tcm65-4917_medium

Falconer: (Well, I hear your bird is quite an impressive specimen.  Can I see it in action?)

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: (Sure, here he is.  They call him the) Gamecock Ballhawk!

610x_medium

Fred Bennett: 'Sup y'all.

Falconry_tcm65-4917_medium

Falconer: (That's a weird looking bird.  Is it ash-shahain?  Al-sinyari?)

610x_medium

Bennett: You lookin down on me?  I'm the Gamecock Ballhawk!  I trained for months for this.  I'm ready.  You'll all see that I can still play!

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: As a falcon.

610x_medium

Bennett: Right, right dawg.  As a falcon.  

*Assumes pre-snap stance*

Falconry_tcm65-4917_medium

Falconer: (You talk to him in English?)

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: (It's the only language he understands.)

Falconry_tcm65-4917_medium

Falconer: (Ah.  Well then, tell him that this pigeon is his first target.)  

*releases pigeon*

Spinifex-pigeon-desert_medium

*soars majestically*

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: Bennett!  Catch that bird!

610x_medium

*backpedals 20 yards, stands still, staring at the Falconer, as the pigeon flies over his head*

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: Uh, Fred.  You're supposed to chase the bird.  What are you standing there for?

610x_medium

Bennett: Oh!  Damn, sorry.  I thought we was playin' zone coverage.

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: ...when the ball goes over your head in zone coverage, aren't you supposed to run after it?

610x_medium

Bennett: Texans zone coverage.

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: Ah.

Falconry_tcm65-4917_medium

Falconer: (That was horrendous.  If you want to make the team, your bird needs a lot more work.  I've trained chipmunks to catch better than that.  And considering I live in Qatar, where there are no chipmunks, well, you see where I'm going with this.)

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: (He's just a little rusty.  He hasn't been getting much action lately.)

Falconry_tcm65-4917_medium

Falconer: (Not breeding him should make him go faster.  I'm not quite sure how I understood that connotation of action though.  Seems like the kind of phrase that shouldn't carry over to Arabic.)

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: (Don't worry, it's all just a weird part of how the world works.  Sort of like how I can't help saying my secret purpose aloud.  Erm, I mean, yeah, Bennett just needs to get off the benc...performs worse when he's not breeding.)

610x_medium

Bennett: Hell yeah.  Where the women at?  Erryone in a dress.  it's hard to tell.  Now c'mon, gimme somethin' else.  I need to redeem myself!

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: (Give him something easier, he needs to start off slow.)

Falconry_tcm65-4917_medium

*releases a rabbit*

Bunny_medium

 *hops slowly towards Bennett*

610x_medium

*backpedals 8 yards, continues to look at the Falconer*

470_falconry_01_300x470_medium

Myers: Bennett, it's a run play!  Don't lose contain!

610x_medium

Bennett (loudly): Contain?  What the hell is that?

Bunny_medium

*starts scampering around faster, scared by Bennett's loud voice, then runs right by him*

610x_medium

Bennett (shouting): Aw, it's on now little man!  I'm gonna catch you!  

*chases the rabbit around in circles*

Bunny_medium

*continues to be scared by Bennett's loud voice, runs closer to Myers and The Falconer*

610x_medium

Bennett (shouting): I got you!  I got you!  Cornered.  No way you can make it out   Rock and hard place, baby.

Bunny_medium 

*jumps at Myers, who falls down immediately, then runs right over him.*

610x_medium

*trips on Myers' face mask, knocking it off, then falls to the ground as the rabbit scurries away*

Falconry_tcm65-4917_medium

Falconer: (INFIDELS!)

Thefalcon_medium

Myers: I knew I should've picked Brent Grimes.  Ugh...

I was expecting Busing to appear.

by cubic on Feb 18, 2010 12:38 PM CST reply actions  

It does say to be continued.

I expect Busing and Dunta is infused somehow in this story.

MDC if you'd like to do some sort of sequential trade off on this

I’d be delighted.

Don’t feel pressured into it if you don’t want to though.

I could definitely be persuaded.

By which I mean “shit, yeah, I’m in.”

I always assumed "You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma" would be some sort of country music diss track. Live and learn, I guess.

Huge REC for this:
Falconer: (Not breeding him should make him go faster. I’m not quite sure how I understood that connotation of action though. Seems like the kind of phrase that shouldn’t carry over to Arabic.)

If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?

Friends don't let friends

Drink and write falconry stories.
