Special K

Man, DC has been kicking out the stops. However... as good as it's een, I really don't see the need to kill off so many minor fan-favorites. Kord dying pissed me off, but it was done effectively, importantly, and was a sort of nice swan-song for Kord. Booster and Buddy dying? Much less so. I do think Booster's going to come back at the end of 52. There's so many more longstancding C-list superheroes to ax though. Starfire? Sucks. Always been an atrocious character design too. Adam Strange? Sucks. Lobo? Well I've always thought of him as a stupid joke character, but his involvement in 52 has been really stupid. Make mine Nextwave, Invincible, etc. My favorite exhange ever: (and machine man reminds me of Animal Man a lot)

http://board.deathvalleydriver.com/index.php?showtopic=31319 MY HEAD A SPLODE. So much retardedness in such a concentrated, soylent form. I don't even pay much attention to wrestling anymore. Hey! You heard it here! Arn Anderson isn't just a mediocre wrestler! He's the greatest wrestler ever. AA held onto Falri's coattails like a baby. He got rich off it. Good for him, honestly. But to say he's some kind of great wrestler? Pfffft. Bitch, please.

Those 'fitness photographs' always look bad. Trish looked awful in those fitness mags too. She's gorgeous, but it's just the way they shoot them.

The Punk thing is just depressing. With RVD, he's an OK talker, an Ok worker, and he was massively over. SQUASH. Punk has Austin-like charisma, one of the few unique characters to come out in the last five fucking years. Oh , hey! He's really good at wrestling too! They have lightning in the bottle here. A unique character that can easily be face or heel. CRAZY charisma. And they throw it away for generic muslemen. NO ONE has ever liked Holly. not a single person will tell you he's their favorite wrestler. If Arn's doing this shit? Fuck him.

I honestly think, if the Seahawks can score a TD, they can win. This is a big if.

They tried to rip his EYELID off? Jesus

It's a bit odd that I got both reactions for McGwire. Not what I expected. He was my favorite player as a very young'un. I think he should be inducted/rejected on his playing, and that's it. I mean, I could put up a good case: As a lanky dude, he absolutely shattered the rookie HR record. He was the first to hit 30 HRs in his first 3 seasons. He always was a class act, gave back money to the A's after his phenomanaly shitty 5th season. Blah blah blah. He probably did roids. Going back to his original stance helped him more than that. And if MLB didn't test for roids, it's their own damn fault. Can you boot someone just because he maybe 'roided? Why? MLB should have tested a long time ago. Are we to just wipe out 15 years of baseball? Maybe Griffey did roids. I really, really, don't think he did, but he was in the "roids era". Should we ignore all the great Braves pitchers? Coulda been doing roids. Maybe we should have an WHIP adjusted to roids? And I did think Mattingly would have scored more. That guy was killer.

New England Clam Chowder and okra-based gumbo are king, IMO. Nothing makes for a better meal. I do often get a hankering for a french onion. However, those are the best soups. This includes all stews, casoulles' and chiles.

Grant Morisson

Most of what I read, he bought into his own gimmick way too much. I remember a story from when he first came to WWE where he was pised if anyone wore any orange (because it was 'his color') and walking around with his towel over his head like a goof. BY all accounts he's really chilled out.

Bruno's usually more funny when he's interviewing people from the fashion industry than rednecks. His interview of the gay re-education running minister is priceless, though. And the "Vassup/Ich Don't Think So" bit from season one is the closest I've seen to him cracking up. Also getting up on the runwayand doing the worm.... priceless. "Vassup! Being gay is the new coolest thing in the world, so that's why I've come to the gayest place in the world: ALABAMA!"

If McGwire doesn't get in because of steroids, it's BS. It can't be proven he did them, (which is baseball's own damn fault) and LaRussa blatantly stated that Canseco's charges were bullshit. I like McGwire, but if anything, his stats are borderline. lots of home runs. Bad BA. Won a golden glove or two.

Man, speed and 'roids at his age? He's not going to last long.

If they actually put Darkly Dreaming Dexter on film, (which they will) It will be so disturbing... It's like Mqraui De Sade stuff.

The "such-and-such is still a threat to America" is the most recent head-slapping example of C-Baconness in recent history.

The only thing they try to push at my local Gamestop is the discount card + GI subscription. Since I'm usually buying used games, it comes out to like $2 for a GI subscription and the card. I usually get it. My EB has never tried to push anything on me.

What an utter berk. Oooh I know what osmosis is! I must have taken biology class in high school~! He didn't come back? No kidding? Generally there's just no excuse for rudeness on either side. No matter who you are, you're going to find a situation where you don't know a single thing about the topic, whether it be games, movies, fine art, computers, literature, etc, and you may need to ask a question. It's always nice when people are helpful, rather than trying to lord it over you. I have done the thing where I ask if they have any copies of a game. The clerk smiles and gestures at an entire row of the game behind him. D'oh.

George Foreman grills?

Heh, the Wild Bunch is so awesome.

Ew! Nong Shim, a Korean company, makes the best noddle bowls. The 'hot' flavor is really good, and actually pretty dang spicy. The 'vegetal' (sic) flavor is the only other one I've seen. It does have little pieces of fish cake (the little white and pink thingies) that people probably hate.

Besides the Michaels feud, I don't believe Bret ever refused to job, treated fans with a lot of respect, and never shot on people in the ring. Not that he's the most professional by any means.

I like them SuicideGirls. The only thing I can concretely say is that the movie would have the theme song to "White Bunbusters." And naked women. The song's the most important part, though.

There's no law that says you can kill in self-defense (but not illegal immigrants!) Either the border guards did something fishy, or it was a bad trial, and they'll hopefully win in appeals. I doubt someone in the federal gov't called up some local judge and told them to convict some innocent border guards because they wanted cheap labor.

Are you implying that's a bad thing?

Seattle has a samll chance, but (as much as it hurts me to say it) they clearly have the least chance of any of the teams. They've lucked there way this far. The KC running game collapse really puzzles me. LJ didn't look great, but the OL collapsed. With his running style, you need a little momentum. He was getting hit after his first couple of steps every time.
