Hauser Puns

ou might not have been thinking very much about Boston Celtics two way forward Sam Hauser given how much he has been playing with the parent club in recent weeks, but based on what we are seeing from the former Cavalier with the team’s G League affiliate, it might behoove the Celtics to give the Virginia product some run in Boston.

Hauser scored 31 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals in 38 minutes of gameplay for the Maine Celtics on Saturday, shooting 10-of-19 from the field and 9-of-15 from beyond the arc in a tilt with the Cleveland Cavaliers’ developmental affiliate, the Canton Charge.

If you want to see Hauser in action for yourself, or just want to see his play again without rewatching the whole game, check out the clip put together by fan YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski embedded -- it is in the link...above.

I love how in the promo for season 4 when all the actors are talking about what happened and what’s coming, Cole is being interviewed and says “Obviously my spider tentacles are up for Jamie”.

I’m assuming he meant spidey senses but it kills me every time I hear it lmao

Who else is just far too good in their sketch?

The unsolved murder of Inga Maria Hauser is a bit of a puzzler.

If you believe the news reports over the last few years,  you'd think that police are ever so close to catching her killer(s).

To give a brief synopsis of this case, back in April 1988, Inga, who was 18, and had travelled from Germany, via train, got a boat from The Netherlands to the UK, then travelled through England and Scotland using trains as well.

She had gone as far as Inverness, then travelled back down again to Stranraer - at the time the boats used to Dock here, and she got the boat to Larne on April 6th 1988.

People remember seeing her on the boat, but when it docked into Larne, it seemed that she had vanished.

Going by information out there, it seems her plan had been to get the train from Larne to Belfast, and eventually onwards to Dublin, where she could get a boat across the Irish Sea  to Holyhead, as she was planning on meeting a friend.

However, she was missing for a few weeks, before her partially clothed body was found in Ballypatrick forest in North Antrim on 20th April 1988, by a local farmer.

She had been sexually assaulted, had her neck broke, her personal belongings were scattered nearby, and it seemed that no real effort had been made to conceal her body.

There were reconstructions of her last movements, and these were based on the premise that she had been moving around North Antrim in the weeks leading up to the discovery of her body.

In recent years, this has changed.  It is officially believed that the area where she was found acted like a "fridge"  as there was little to no decomposition of her body, and she I'd now believed to have been murdered in the few hours after she got off the boat in Larne.

Police have stated on numerous occasions that they have a DNA profile from the scene of the crime.

People have been questioned over her murder, and a file has been sent to the public prosecution service, to see if it could proceed to trial, but this has been ruled out.

This is the definitive resource about this case, a serious amount of information here, Keeley has went to extraordinary lengths to compile it.

As for my own views, I'm perplexed by it all.  There is much made of the DNA sample from the crime scene  - I know for a fact that many men in the local North Antrim area volunteered their DNA samples.

Carmela is pissed straight away and rightly so. But it takes Carm saying what if coach had sex with Meadow before the penny drops with Tony. He even says something like that Ally was a pretty girl or whatever? It’s a weird scene i think because you’d think Tony would have raging straight away.

It's true! Harry Warner was Cole Hauser's great-grandfather.

Harry Warner, great-grandfather of Cole Hauser

See a preview here of an interview with Cole (by his mom, Cass Warner) about his famous relatives (and a link to the full interview), as well as a preview of the film she made about her grandfather and his brothers and how they were fundamental in creating Hollywood.

Just watched the episode named 'Boca' and I'm confused as to how I'm supposed to feel regarding the coach Hauser plot.

We see that this coach is sleeping with one of the girls and Tony and his crew plus Artie want him dead.

Then Dr. Melfi and Charmaine both reprimand Tony and Artie, challenging them as to whether they are seeking out justice or personal satisfaction. Artie realises that they are really just looking for the latter, and tells Tony to leave it to the authorities, which he reluctantly does, eventually. He then comes home drunk telling Carmela that "he didn't hurt nobody".

My question is what's the point of all this? Is the purpose of this plot to show us that a season 1 Tony has the ability to refrain himself and not act on emotional impulses; something that a season 6 Tony could never do? Therefore highlighting once again his downfall.

And is it to show the power that he and the mob have within their communities? It shows on TV Hauser getting arrested only because Tony allowed it to happen.

Why did Tony come home drunk and all over the place? Was it because refraining from having Hauser killed was such a difficult decision for him?

I don't know, I found it difficult to give a shit about this subplot and found it a bit weird if I'm being honest. Asking you guys in case I'm missing the point.

Warning: utter speculation ahead.

Suspicion towards two separate persons of interest, both deceased (and Gary Poste is not one of them), has been gaining traction over the last months at our friend Tom's forum. For now it is nothing more than a thought, but an interesting one: did Hauser and Mac know each other? Mac looks similar to one sketch/composite, Hauser similar to the most famous one. Was Hauser dwelling in Mac's basement? Was Mac Hauser's right hand guy, in more than one sense? Was Hauser the man who spoke to Tarbox? Did Mac become a prison officer in order to be with his mate who might soon end up in one?

As I said: all utter speculation. But interesting possibilities, right? Finding any solid link between the two of them would be major.

Total long shot, I know. But does anyone possibly have the mp3s for the two "This American Life" parody episodes by Kasper Hauser? They're 404ing and I can't find them elsewhere online.
