Full Circle
Posted on December 8th, 2005 by catalyst into the Uncategorized categoryToday’s Oregonian includes a wrapup of all Portland girls basketball teams. Here’s what they say about City Christian.
Class 2A/1A schools
City Christian
Coach Dan Malmin calls junior Tajai King “probably the best guard in the state.” King heads a City Christian (17-6, 11-3 1A Casco League) team that also returns standout guards Autumn Tarter and Susanna Gill.
JP and I got our blogging start, writing about the City Christian girls basketball team on Oregonlive’s Basketball Forums. We used to spend hours ripping on Tim Nashif when he was coach of City Christian.
It was great fun, and at one point Tim called my mother to ask her to stop me from writing about him online. At that time, I was traveling through China, and my mom was like, “Tim, Justin’s in China, he’s not writing about you online, so relax.” Unfortunately for my mom (and Tim I guess), internet cafe’s were taking off in China. And I was in fact spending a couple of hours a day, working on things to write about Tim, all from a tiny province in Shanghia…. ahhhh…. good times… good times…
Anyway, JP and I like Dan Malmin. So good luck Dan. I hope your girls do well this year.

He called your Mom? BWAHAHAHAAHahahahahaha!
“Boo hoo! People are writing about me on the Internet! Make them stop!”
I think that’s the funniest anecdote about CBC this blog has produced yet.

You are funny!!

Good times???
THE BEST TIMES!

I still smile when I remember Timmy growling at me for almost hitting him with a golf ball back in HS. People wouldn’t mess with him if he didn’t make it so much fun…
Also, looks like Dan’s girls are off to a rough start at 1-3. Dan’s a great guy and coach though so I wish him and the team the best.

Years ago I heard rumors of those basketball posts from JF, and up until now I thought that was just another CBC “Urban Legend”.
I’d love to read some of those, are they still posted online anywhere?

The best part about writing on Oregon Live was when Marc Estes told me that he just got out of an elders meeting discussing what to do with Justin and I, and that if we didn’t stop they were going to press charges!!!!
I’m not sure exactly how many times CBC has threatened to “Press Charges” against me (actually I do, 4 separate times. Each with it’s own great story), but you would think that they would learn…you just can’t bully the Morton’s.
# of times threatened - 4
# of times they actually followed through - 1
# of times Johnpaul was prosecuted - 0
Damn I’m good

I was just thinking about it and I realized I missed a time. Make that 5 times they threatened.
City Bible Church,
You just can’t beat me.

Your a pain in the ass.
December 8th, 2005 at 3:24 pm
You mean “You’re a pain in the ass”.
You forgot the apostrophe.
No problem, Jesus still loves you.

First they called your mom. Then they threatened to “bring charges”. Next thing you know they may start a new giving campaign called “silence the voice of the enemy(aka: the Morton boys)”. Or, they might tell Satan Claus you are naughty. Charcoal for you for Christmas.

ROFLMAO

wow.

Funniest,wittiest, most entertaining pain in the ass there is.(Catalyst too.) Stop talking about “wrapping this blog up”. Sure I have Go Fug Yourself now, but it just won’t be the same. I’m serious, do not do this to me.

# of times they actually followed through - 1???
OK, I think a story is in line for this one. What were the charges?
December 8th, 2005 at 6:11 pm
Yes, I’m interested too…tell us about the charges.
December 8th, 2005 at 7:47 pm
Funny! I’m not a TN fan, either, so, please, mock away.
Maybe CBC should worry less about pursuing those who don’t give them the glory they believe they deserve and “press charges” against real CRIMINALS like their members who have sexually molested children in their schools! They prefer instead to brush that under the rug to avoid a scandal, again demonstrating that their own image is more important than a child’s soul!

Sorry to interupt but Mark Estes sunday sermon was, get this, “Has the Grinch Stolen Your Christmas”. First of four Christmas sermons, the next three PF will “preach”. The grinch was spotted on Rocky Butte and has apparantly stolen a “mega” churches christmas.
I did not know that Estes could do a Howard Dean impersonation 9min 45sec. citybiblechurch.org -media link.
I learned that the twelve days of christmas song is coded with christian truth ( Jesus is the partridge in the pear tree ? what?) and candy canes were early christian tracts, wow? there was some good stuff about what Jesus has done , but at the end everyone stood up and read these grinchville (ie blogsite) stompers, declarations of faith about how THEY CHOOSE to be better christmas christians. nice , tis the season to be happy.

Non A-Hole Dude:
Have you checked out the girl that introuduces all the sermons. She has the absolute worst lisp in the world.
and when she gets to this part,
…with on common desire to experience God…
I fall over laughing. It’s horrible, I agree. But I can’t help it.
