You'd probably get stuff like "Elanor Rigby", "With A Little Help From My Friends", "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and "Here, There and Everywhere". Just slightly off the beaten path. Aerosmith hasn't been a real rock band for a while. Which probably means that they're perfect.

Two songs previously ruined by Savol in one night. What are the odds? I just wonder though. The only real comparison we've got to Chris being uncompromising and singing similar rock-type stuff every week are from other countries - Peter Evrad from Belgium (who won) and Suzi Rawn from Canada (who finished fourth) - so it's hard to tell how the fans are voting for him. Ever notice that Randy and Paula say the same thing every week about Paris? R: Pitchy, but you did your thing P: Blubbers about how young she is

Whatever floats your boat, I say. The KT Tunstall song is pretty catchy - but I haven't heard it on super-high rotation on Sirius so maybe it gets more annoying with constant play. Mary J. Blige's song is pretty good. Or maybe it's just different from all the rap and girl pop on the radio nowadays. I'm thinking Elliott's going home. Not that I WANT him to go, but I get that feeling that he will.

I don't think athleticism has anything to do with it. As a "name" guy, Lesnar could probably get a decent payday every time out so he could go the Severn route and grind out victory after victory with minimal damage (and minimal excitement). His pride however (no pun intended) would probably not allow him to grind out wins. Grinding out wins is for poker and blackjack, not MMA. And if he puts as much effort into learning MMA as he allegedly did with football (and given Mike Tice's current employment status, maybe he wasn't that great a judge of talent), he could be scary good. Of course, that's all just speculation.

Don't think KT Tunstall is a good choice vocally for Kat, but it is a song that could allow bouncing so I'll let it go. Paris. Mary J. Blige. I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

Hmm. Maybe he and Penn should have a best of 5, in every weight class...

Too many quotable movies, too many great moments. It's time will come...

Riggs will annihilate Swick. He'll probably even knock Swick out with GNP instead of getting a ref stoppage. What's Riggs' natural weight class, btw?

I'm sure we could make a joke about Sable here as well... I think that, at worst, he's another Dan Severn. Good for making money, a cure for insomnia for anyone watching. But that assumes that he doesn't blow up in the first 5 minutes...

Dammit, start the fucking breakout already...

The show is almost always in intruiging. What bothered me most about the airplane was the air marshal. Air marshals never sit in the window seat. In fact, they're supposed to be in a aisle seat at the back, so they have full view of the cockpit door. And they aren't allowed to sleep. So the fact that the marshal was Owe-You-Tee should've been noticed a lot quicker than it was. That being said, I had flashbacks to Commando when Jack KO'ed the air marshal. Westmoreland did a pretty decent job I thought. Damn, wrong show again.

To be honest, I think that it's BETTER to be grouped with pro wrestling. Why? Because otherwise you're probably grouped with boxing, and Lord knows the promoters and organizations for that sport is more cutthroat than McMahon could ever hope to be. Never mind that many of these organizations are a mess right now - they'll find a way to bury MMA and it won't be a botched effort on a 20th rate show like Deutchbags...

I suppose the point you're trying to make is that learning a sprawl is more difficult than learning armbar defense from the guard. Which, I dunno. A sprawl is more of a timing thing, while I suppose that defending an armbar is more technique, so it's almost apples and oranges. So if Bisping was more of a BJJ guy, then learning to escape from the bottom was probably easier to learn in one training session than learning to defend a shoot. As for Matt taking him down, if there's any truth to the 100% vs 50% complaints the LHW had about Matt, well, a tomato can like me (and believe me, I spent a lot of time getting beat in my high school wrestling days.) could probably take Bisping down continually in training.

explain this one to me. Subtle/near obscure joke there. Miller wrote the screenplay to Robocop 2, and of course wrote and drew the Sin City comic. I'm sure he'd like to forget that he had anything to do with the former...

That song was #1? God, I hate people. It was the 80's, Leena. Big hair, mullets, synth drums, bikini chicks in heavy metal videos and guys wearing short shorts. Taking all that into consideration, it's not that strange. Still, sometimes I look back at the music of the era and think "man, they played some serious cheese in my teenaged years". Lush, don't know if you feel the same way.

I aim to please. I hear Frank Miller loves it when you tell him that Robocop 2 was way better than Sin City...

It's kinda funny, because you'd figure roid boy the nutritionalist would be the low point of the training regimen.

There's just so many great movie quotes and moments from the 80's, aren't there? "That's nawt a knife. THIS is a knife" Till all are one.

I'm guessing that "You're Beautiful" is one of those two. Because if you've managed to avoid hearing that song, you may very well be deaf. Too bad "I Touch Myself" wasn't in her year then, yeah? Too bad it'd never happen. Fox, the network that gave us such fine family fare as Temptation Island and The Glutton Bowl, must maintain the facade that the AI contestants are sweet and innocent. Even if the judges appear to be medicated.

Heh. Actually, Leben vs Loiseau would be a decent match. Their styles seem to match up well.

Not if she sang "Girl You Know It's True". Complete with the movements. Although... Batdance. Or a Paula Abdul song. Yeah.

From the same movie: "YOU HAVE NO (looks in Japanese-to-English dictionary) MARBLES!" Major League II is such a great movie. On TV, anyways. "Luke, I am your father" "Man, we ain't found SHIT" Ape #1: Dear me, what are those things coming out of her nose? Ape #2: [looking in binoculars] SPACEBALLS? Ape #1: Oh shit! There goes the planet.

1984 (Katherine) 1989 (Paris)

1979 (Elliott) 1980 (Chris) Bah, and I had already done '85...
