Stop Making Sense live was my favorite album for years.

Calling a spade a spade.

Hingis is very pretty.

God I hate this argument. The Steelers beat the #1 and 2 seeds in the AFC. They were the best team in the AFC, and the best team in the NFL Period. The Seahawks beat the Redskins without the NFL MVP, and absolutely creamed the Panthers, everyone's favorite annual NFC pick. IN the process they totally shut down Steve Smith aside from that long return, and he had just romped all over the Bears' incredible D. The Seahawks were the best team in the NFC. Period. Sure the AFC is stronger than the NFC, denying that would be silly. but saying the Seahawks were lucky to get to the SB is silly. No team gets into the SB by luck. They get into it by playing well all year and going up against and beating the best teams in the NFL.

What does everyone have against the Seahawks? I heard a good theory. Seattle only has one professional sports team close to them, the Blazers. Hence there are no 'bitter rivalries' that people get so hot and bothered about. They don't have that much of a storied history, being consistently mediocre with a string of terrible QBs. People who say they're boring could say the same about any decent West Coast offense. Or they just like colorful, flashy players, like Vick or TO. How many commercial offers did Shaun get after being MVP and setting the record for TDs? A lot less than other hyped-up players. Either way, they're my team. Also there's this perception that Seattle isn't a sports town, despite consistently selling huge crowds with the currently shitty M's and being positively rabid about the Seahawks. And what's the nation's perception of Seattle? Just look at last year's national coverage. Microsoft and rain and flannels and STARBUCKS lol! We're all a bunch of hippies and obviously can't be real football fans, like those tough steelworkers in Pittsburgh, despite the fact that Seattle was built on the back of a steel mill, a port and Boeing. The only reason Microsoft is based near Seattle is because all the founders were born here. And we wear flannels and drink coffee because yeah, it IS fucking cold and rainy nine months out of the year. Probably the reason why we're the suicide and serial killer capitol of America. Que?

All the ones I can think of are Japanese. Appleseed, Final Fantasy: AC and SW.

Why Seahawks? I guess because D-Jax is constantly banged up. Dear God the Seahawks game was boring.

Arnold Palmers (iced tea lemonade 50/50) are swell.

Shopping-cart muscles win every day. I would not mess with those guns.

Logan and Veronica from Veronica Mars. Logan's such a weird character. Severely screwed-up, outwardly completely arrogant. You can tell the characters weren't meant to get together, but the actors just have chemistry. George Michael and Maebe in Arrested Development. GOB and Michael in Arrested Development.

I really like that Identity was mostly told from second-tier characters' points of view. Heck, Green Arrow is pretty much the main character. Batman's a big part of it, and he's not even shown until issue 2, right? And above, in the Preacher post "read all of it" should not be read as an imperative, but as in "(I have) read all of it"

Seems like an old Memphis gimmick. Reminds me of when, during a match, Rick Rude beat the shit out of Lawler's car with a crowbar, and Lawler just stared from the ring

I don't think many people go just to make friends, but unless you're going to college in your home town, it's gonna be a really lonely time if you don't at least try to be sociable. And if you're looking for a 'mate', you're going to come off as creepy if you don't have any friends. Unless you were using the 'g'day mate' sense of the word.

AHHHHHHHHHH!

Bret / Owen WMX Flair / Funk 'I quit' It's fun to see a vicious, face Flair.

I was really sick of New Orleans after 3 years. By that time, I had some really good friends and was pretty deep in my studies, so it didn't really matter. I can understand transferring out of Tulane after a year. I considered it. The freshman class seemed to be composed of people there JUST to party. After a year of that shit, they either flunked out or matured a little.

And pregnant twelve year-olds smoking cigarettes and sagging their pants while their boyfriends steal Yu-Ji-Oh cards and listen to their hip-hop. It's the Chatanooga Choo-Choo or NOTHING in my Red Lobster, Mister! It is sorta special that you can determine whether someone is college-educated just by looking at and talking to them! Why I know everyone at my university spoke in Shakespearean accents and wore monocles. How 'bout I crap in your cupholder, then you can hate young white professionals as well? You'll have the whole set!

I'd think anyone into Hilton is more into mannequin fucking.

Freshman year usually sort of sucks. Everyone says you meet your realy friends sophomore year, and it's true. Freshman year most people generally just fall in with whomever they live around. Going to a state or party school helps, unless you want to spend all day in serious academic discussions, or so I understand from the couple friends I had who went to small liberal arts colleges. Also, I had the opposite experience, as I went to a very small, elite high school. Most everyone was way too full of their own shit, and all my friends were from a couple neighboring public schools, or grade school days. Going to Tulane, there were plenty of opportunities for these kind of discussions, but the kind of people that gravitated there were more laid back. It was a revelation after high school. I don't hang out with a single kid from high school anymore, but I still talk to, and have visited, college buddies. Where do y'all go?

?Que?

Yeah. The whole movie is pretty intensely fucked up. And I always love Frank Black just freaking out. Cracks me up, especially contrasted with Kim Deal's really pretty, slight voice.

I thought 'Debaser' was a great song with really dumb lyrics, then saw un chien andelou.

Definitely should have waited for this over mediocre as hell FFVII:DOC.

Yeah, they're stellar. Season three has a couple of relative cluunkers, but as I said, the last four episodes are just brilliance. And the greatest monologue ever: Here he comes. Here comes John Wayne. “I’m not going to cry about my Pa. I’m going to build an airport— put my name on it.” Why, Michael? So you can fly away from your feelings? You can keep them bottled up, but they will come out, Michael. Sometimes in the most unexpected... HEY! WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY HARD-BOILED EGGS *Sad walk* Cross is brilliant.
