  1. I've been wearing the black rim glasses for a number of years (not very clunky, though, and small lenses) just because I thought it looked good. And haven't people been dressing in 'vintage' shirts and Chuck Taylor's for forever? I like Chuck Taylors. What would seem to really define the trend is the shitty sweaters/sweater patterns and weird layering.

    Brain Teaser

    I think we're all teasing Jason's brain too much. Like every other thread he's ever been in. Jason, next time stick to "brother's and sisters have I none, but this man's father is my father's son." Much easier to memorize.
  3. He might mean the band. It's impossible to be funnier than Slayer the band.

    Brain Teaser

    I like this little ditty. Not really a brain teaser as much as a paradox, and not really too difficult to see the flaw in reason, but fun to contemplate for a bit. From Wikipedia. (Originally by Raymond Smullyan?) The Unexpected Hanging A judge makes two statements to a condemned prisoner: -You will be hanged at noon one day next week, Monday through Friday. -The choice of day will be a surprise to you, in that you won't know the day of the hanging until the executioner knocks on your cell door at noon that day. The prisoner reflects on these statements, and then smiles. If the hanging were on Friday, then it wouldn't be a surprise in the sense announced. For he would know by Thursday night that he was going to be hanged on Friday, since no hanging had yet occurred and only one day was left. So the hanging can't be on Friday. But then the hanging can't be on Thursday either. If it were, then it wouldn't be a surprise either. For he would know on Wednesday night that he was going to be hanged on Thursday, since no hanging had yet occurred and only two days were left, one of which (Friday) he already knows is impossible. So a Thursday hanging is impossible too. Similar reasoning shows that the hanging can't be on Wednesday, Tuesday or even Monday! He returns to his cell confident in his safety. The next week, the executioner knocks on his door at noon on Wednesday - an utter surprise. Everything the judge said has come true, but where is the flaw in the prisoner's reasoning?
  5. And to update: Jason: Loves Hitler, Hates Fags. Loves Arafat, Hates Jews.
  6. Nothing can shock me about Phelps' hatred and basic human indecency anymore. However, this sorta blows my mind, as it indicates that God is either very sloppy or stupid, killing 100,000 people to kill, what, max 100 gay Swedish tourists? The Swedish secretary from The Producers (yeah, she's probably actually American) pretty much absolves Sweden of all food-related crimes, I'd say.
  7. Wouldn't this be somewhat explainable as: A) The used car market was a lot smaller then and B) Very rarely did the wife work (many middle class families have both parents working)
  8. Very good sitcom, one of the only ones I will watch. Sam was totally lovable and a sleaze at the same time. The only time it ever bugged me is when they would totally stick it to the Cliff character. I know he's supposed to be a loser, but sometimes it got almost uncomfortable.
  9. Urban cost of living has shot up quite a bit. If you work really hard your whole life, you'll likely do okay, but you won't be rich. Of course, if your company goes under you're SOL sometimes. Your retirement: gone. Also, there are people who are just stupid, frankly. You can have tons of ambition and gumption, but if you're dumb, the only way you're going to get rich is as a sports player or a musician. And both of those take inborn talent.
  10. Raven of course wasn't given any chance in WWE. Technically he came from ECW, but he only had a short stint there. Rey-Rey getting his mask back is not necessarily a good thing, (it is aesthetically, of course.) I've heard he can basically never wrestle in Mexico again, since he broke a huge taboo by remasking. X-Pac probably did better in the WWF. How he's selling a sex vid to make money is beyond me. He must have made a TON between nWo and DX shirt sales. Steamboat suffered a drop in status in the WWF
  11. Coming soon, delicious McNuggets with a your choice of lethal injections in sweet n' sour, BBQ and Honey Mustard! Shit, the way the meat's minced and reformed in McNuggets, they should just skip a step and throw the chickens into a wood chipper.
  12. Yeah, that would easily break down to less than minimum wage. Wait, thirty dollars CANADIAN? BWA HA HA HA HA! That's less than 50 cents Canadian per match! This has to be a joke. I'LL PAY YOU THIRTY DOLLARS IF YOU BUILD ME THE WORLD'S LONGEST DOMINO RUN
  13. ^^ God, it seems both liberals and conservatives in this country are becoming overreacting whiny crybabies. (Re: the complaining parents) I'm sure the gay couple's kids'll have a princely time there. "Have a good time at school, honey, and remember not to make friends with the kids with the gay parents. It might be contagious!"
  14. Really, I just wanted to post a picture of a liger because they are fucking IMMENSE. By far the biggest cat. Don't know how that works, breeding two animals together and getting a far larger one. The lame-ass barbarian performers sort of lend themselves to the Napolean Dynamite quote.
  15. First of all, saying the game was won when Atlanta was very close to tying it is a big misstatement. Hell, my friends and I had our fingers crossed because we thought they were going to pull another last minute loss. And maybe Holmgren didn't know Shaun was one yard away. Maybe he was focused on a tight, must-win game?
  16. People seem to take it for granted that a housecat can rip out a man's jugular easily. Their mouths aren't that big. On the other hand, killing a cat is likely not as simple as kicking it. They are tough and flexible little guys. It would take a large number of cats to kill a man. Death is likely going to come from bleeding. If they get you down though, they would probably take out your eyes. ^^ However if it's a tiger bred with a lion for its skills in magic, you're screwed.
  17. They furnished Mongo McMichaels with his weapon.
  18. I find it hard to believe he was a real poster, except he got all offended when people contended his inflammatory posts. I think he's probably just a kid. A stupid kid, at that. His wrestling posts are just as bad.
  19. On the oppositte side, Franz Ferdinand made girls scream like they were at a Beatles concert both times I saw them. I would say Sonic Youth is pretty ugly (though they're all 50+ now) except Kim Gordon is still pretty hot. Lucky Thurston. Kraftwerk is pretty damn ugly. yeah, they have a little bit of makeup on here, but you can tell. Color Me Badd has to be the worst looking band that were created solely to be sex symbols.
  20. ^^^ Agreed. When the New Testament directly disagrees with the Old Testament, the New Testament is typically what is taken by Christians. It indicated the dawning of a new era. I don't believe there is anything in the gospel according to Mark, Matthew, Luke or John that singles out homosexuals. So I'm sure this question has been posed to you ad nauseum, SP-1, but why, out of all the catalogued sins in the Old Testament is homosexuality singled out? The only realistic answer I've heard that makes sense is to use one's religion to justify one's personal revulsion.
  21. I liked to call the Big Bossman the 'Big LOSSman' because of Hogan spouting out that lame nickname and guffawing like it was the best put-down ever. Oh and original D-X = the ambiguously gay trio.
  22. Of course. 'Twas a joke. I suppose this also disqualifies Marilyn Manson thought he IS truly hideous.
  23. True. I can't believe I forgot these guys.
  24. I honestly think this is just something the conservative pundits blew out of proportion to get everyone riled up against the crazy libs when like MAYBE 1% of people make a stink about it. They didn't have anything else to talk about, since their main man won the election.
  25. I've often called Piper 'The Pipes' after a hilariously deranged promo from WCW. THE PIPES! THE PIPES ARE COMING FOR YOU HOGAN! NYREARGH! *starts running from Alcatraz to the beach, apparently intending to swim all the way to Hogan and beat his ass* I usually call HHH "fuckin' HHH."
