Do people actually wear the big cartoonish studio headphones out in public?

Hey now...Ron Paul might not be at all popular but he's no nutjob. Now Tancredo & Newt, those are guys that Roger Ailes could throw his weight behind.

The WBO has ordered a purse bid for the WBO welterweight title bout between champion Antonio Margarito and mandatory challenger Paul Williams to take place January 23 at the WBO Headquarters in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Championship Committee has approved a minimum bid of $200,000. Margarito, however, is penciled in to face Miguel Cotto on a big pay-per-view event in June and is widely expected to relinquish the belt rather than to face Williams. -fightnews I'm sure Marge will try saying it was Paul Williams that ducked him.

I don't think one can have their headphones on outside too much. All music can do is add to the surroundings and vice versa while opening up new or forgotten thoughts. What, really, is their to miss? In the large city the buzz and drone is drowned out by song, in the small town the boredom can be eclipsed. If a familiar voice calls 'hello' it will be heard unless one has said headphones on at dangerous levels. I do alot of hiking, rock climbing, and such and always listen to music...so as not to miss anything crazy like several whitetail deer jumping out of a bush and coming within fet of trampling me I just keep the music quiet. For me, certain songs and bands become synonymous with the outdoors & others fit better eminating from a car dash or on a Greyhound ride. Nick Drake is perfect for nighttime busrides no matter what the weather...while walking outside his music seems to fit winter the best. I equate Pavement to sunny weather. Winter or summer doesn't matter as long as the sun has shown up that day.

Porno for Pyros' 'Pets' reminds me of Summertime even when it's witch's tit cold.

Some of my college/bro pals have gone a long way towards ruining Led Zep for me.

There's alot more storyline potential than last year. "Duh Bus"

The one thing that could hurt an Obama candidacy in the South far more than race ever will...Mike Huckabee. I honestly don't see how Hilary would do any better than Obama in the South (or anywhere else, really). Edwards could do well running with his populism ideas & helping the unfortunate. The Biden and Dodd types wont have magical success in the South but, of course, neither one is going anywhere anyway. Iraq and populism will be essential in the South as well as a few other key regions. Obama and Edwards (and possibly Bill Richardson) will do best with these out of the Democrats...Huckabee and Thompson (and possibly Giuliani) on the right.

Yes. Bush definitly has the potential to be the best campaigner for the Dems in '08. His current stance of admitting failures in Iraq are making the others in his Party look terrible for following him. And, with the Dems pushing all of these popular social ideas right now, the President is in the tough position where signing them gives the Dems all the glory & if he vetoes them he makes himself and his Party appear to be heartless/eve more out of touch. It's practically become a running joke about how the young & the poor just dont vote. 2006 put a huge dent in that. If Bush continues to flounder, and the New Congress can work and pass some of these things like minimum wage and college tuitions it will look very promising for youth and poor demographics showing up even bigger in '08.

This same stuff was said about JFK & Catholicism in 1960. It is possible for Obama to get votes while not being white. One good speech can change alot of things...and now, more than ever, people dont want to be seen as racist. Obviously there are still some people living with that pre-adolescent mindset but it is a smaller number than ever in this country. I would also venture to guess that, along the lines of what Kotz said, the Southern people both black & white living in poverty might be more apt to vote for Obama out of feelings that he might be the one to really help them. And there are plenty of people living in poverty in America that, if motivated to help themselves at the polls, could swing an election. Obama has the potential to carry the Bobby Kennedy vibe that scared the Establishment so much in '68. He can carry all the trusty blue states for a solid base, could have more success in the Midwest/Industrial Belt than a Kerry type, and could do ALOT better than expected in supposed Republican/white strongholds.

I'm surprised so many posters here, myself included, like Ben Folds' music.

Too bad they couldn't take one of the 4 hours away from Jack Bauer: Texas Ranger.

That's probably why I asked if it's still two more weeks after tomorrow night.

Sure wish I got the NFL Network.

Is it 2 more weeks after tomorrow night?

Was that the punchline to the Chocolate Socket joke?

If the Bears make it to the SuperBowl I will cheer for them due to my History Fetish. I could never root for the Vikings though. Alot of other people along the Mississppi agree with this.

IF ONLY A BAND THOUGHT TO CALL THEMSELVES THAT IF ONLY I heard some grunge band out of Seattle used to call themselves that. I wonder whatever happened to them. Now they're called Awesome!

SHOW SOME RESPECT!

Hillary Clinton is fighting Bush's Iraq policy?

Ohio St/Oden almost came back to beat the Badgers in Madison and followed that up with a win over Tennessee. They're not bad.

Yeah, the Broncos did dominate the Falcons...but that was after the '98 season, kind of the end of NFC dominance and not quite the beginning of the AFC's since the Rams popped up next. Since then I think the only blowout besides the Ravens game was when the Bucs destroyed the Raiders. But yeah, the Patriotfans' new "8 points = total blowout" rule changes all of this.

By "we" we mean "one poster who likes playing various characters on our wrestling messageboard."

Other than the Ravens-Giants thriller, has the AFC team won any SuperBowls with a blowout during this period of their domination? In the 80s and 90s the massacres seem to happen almost every year.

Are you sure his son didn't fuck his own career over on a different radio show?
