Not entirely true. After all, it's not an Alien movie without having one burst out of a human's chest. Aside from that though... yeah. If it ain't Ripley, there's no real point having other humans that are integral to the story.

C'mon Don, it's the 21st century. There's nothing wrong with admitting you watch porn... I'd wager that Councilman Harvey will be thoroughly investigating this...

I think he managed to blackball himself from the CFL as well...

I'm in Texas, so I don't think they'd be that gullible. It's more of a mark vs smart thing, it seems...

Yeah. My buddy was #2, and he's not too familiar with fantasy football, so basically I told him that for his first pick he takes Holmes or Tomlinson, in that order. I've already realized it's like watching the World Series of Poker, where Negraneau realized he was in deep shit for trying to bluff against people that don't understand what a bluff is. In other words, expect the unexpected...

As I said, they added 2 teams, which now gives me #8 and #13 (two of my lucky numbers, oddly enough). So far, some odd developments, as Manning and Culpepper were taken #1 and 4, respectively. So it looks like I'll land one of Lewis, Portis or Alexander, which isn't bad at all from where I sit (cubicle hell).

ASTONISHING X-MEN #4 $2.99 That's it for me...

A Great Lakes Avengers mini from the FKATJL team would be supremely awesome...

It wasn't the 50 worst songs ever - it was the 50 most awesomely bad songs ever, and even that is misleading. If they meant that "yeah it's a bad song, but we love it anyways" then Eddie Murphy doesn't deserve to be there, and "We Are The World" should've made the list. If they meant "it's a bad song, period", then Phillip Michael Thomas has been robbed. Can't have Crockett without Tubbs...

Did he have a career before? Personally, I think that even Dat Phan is funnier than this guy...

What if the Avengers were stuck on a space station with the Kree, Shi'ar and Skrulls? Call me crazy, but I think JMS could work with that btw Supreme Power #12 is really good. What's bad is that I want to switch to TPB, but I don't know if I can wait the 7 months for #13-18...

Yes, it did. Maybe they didn't get enough copies?

So of course the guy at the office organizing this throws a curveball at us - the league is now 10 teams, so I'm assuming that there may be a shuffling of draft positions. Lovely...

That's pretty much the dilemma. There's nothing invalid about the "stud RB" strategy, but when you're in a position where that isn't likely to be in the cards for you, you need to adjust...

Actually, I don't think he does. After all the teams check in he's pretty much off to the next destination...

I don't think he'd want it, but give Waid a shot.

I have thought of that. My normal strategy is "best player available", and to try to avoid the sheep mentality. We'll have to see what happens.

OK, 8 team league, snake draft, and I pick lucky number 8. I think there's an outside chance of me getting Alexander or McAllister, but barring that, I'm probably looking at a QB/WR combo. Here's the question: Assuming that Culpepper, P Manning, Harrison and Randy Moss are all available, what QB/WR combo should I get? Points structure is: 6 pts per TD 1 pt per 50 yds thrown 1 pt per 20 yds received 1 pt per 20 yds rushed -2 pts per INT

The usual hyperbole that all people spew when they lose. Obviously, she worked as hard as she could (effort, manipulation etc). Well, you shouldn't publicly slam family, so even though it was unintentional comedy, it's the right thing to say. Mirna's still a bitch though,,,

Yeah, the best attitude doesn't always win the race. Actually, I don't think it ever has, with maybe the exception of Zach, who had to be one helluvan upbeat guy to pull off that win...

WOOHOO!!! Team Midget is GONE!!!

Is it me or did a few of the girls get henna tattoos?

I think bees are the better choice...

Ugh, I hate Mirna...

I'm thinking that this leg will be non-elimination btw, with every other leg until the final 3 also being non-elimination. Just a thought, but it'd be cruel for the last final 3 team to start the last leg with no money, so I see that last leg being a hellacious uber-long one...
