Anyone could have seen this coming, what with how OK State finished their season and how OSU finished theirs. Had their midseason teams showed up, then you'd see a real game.

Stalin's quote was more like "When a one person dies, it's a tragedy. When a million people die, it's a statistic."

I don't think I'll be able to get away from the Chuck for a whole day/night trip, but AoO is perfectly welcome to come by for a meet n' greet. We'll hit up Kaminsky's and shoot the shit.

And oh yeah, fuck:

Ginn straight up embarassed the OK State defense.

Well, I guess at least you were lucid enough at the time to make that observation, I should give you points for that much. Pious Straightedge Guy is so 2002.

The Czech Republic sure is posting a lot for someone who's dead.

After my second post. Look.

The thing between the posts. What in the world is that.

Batista will NOT win the Elimination Chamber. It's like the Rumble, whoever wins the "ideal" final entry spot doesn't win it all.

I guess your sources told you this.

I'd actually rather see Orton/HHH than a three-way.

Rivalry games in college also tend to be WAY more intense than pro games.

Yeah, if anything Hitler's impatience ruined him. The original plan was to hold off on not only Russia, but Britain as well until 1946.

The cover is awesome just because of how X-Pac looks in the upper left corner.

They're still pushing Orton as HHH's main opponent, but the fans are clearly more interested in Batista at this point. I think a Batista/HHH match at Wrestlemania would be better in terms of creating another viable main eventer, since Orton's already been elevated to that point over the last year. A Wrestlemania match would do more for Batista and the company than Orton.

Hitler had girlfriends in the purely superficial sense. He was too insecure and socially defective to really be a womanizer. A guy who was too wrapped up in his own ideology (and only a little handsome at best) to bother with sex.

The French also saw the northern part of their country virtually flattened just 20 years earlier. Americans will never really understand the current European diplomatic preference over conflict because we haven't had our countryside blown away in a century and a half. 'sides, the French knew their position was hopeless, and the British knew they had a chance still (and their population protected) thanks to simple geography alone.

DJ Caffeine's remix of "Sandstorm" made something I've heard possibly thousands of times extremely interesting again. Remix I probably enjoy most is the Pimp Remix of Gigi D'Agostino's "L'Amour Toujours."

Him and Nazi Germany kinda deserve it though. I mean, it's an endlessly fascinating subject that's enhanced thanks to people of that generation still being alive and a lot of stuff that still has yet to be discovered, no doubt.

Yeah, I think the offical cause of death in Star Wars nerd canon is the Emperor's lightning and Vader actually picking up and holding on to source of said lightning, like if you were to just grab a Tesla Coil. Fortunately Vader's a tough sumbitch, so he was able to hold on a little longer.

Watch Triumph of the Will sometime. It won't make you a Nazi... but you'll understand. We do get the revisionist version of Nazi Germany, most assuredly. It was a utopia in many ways. Agreed. A real show of why even President Bush said "things would be a lot easier if we were a dictatorship." A lot of people attribute that to dumb things he's said, but it's actually spot-on. Nazi Germany was a showing of how efficient things could really be, even with a massive beauracracy.

Hitler's mustache was not cool. Stalin's? Eh, it was solid. Whatever. Tell me Chaplin didn't look pimp.

I read it while I was in utero. Beat that.

On a related note, our generation (and our parents', for that matter) had nothing to do with the age of totalitarianism, so people need to lay off the Germans, Japanese, Italians, and French (not part of the Axis but still ridiculed for [smartly] surrendering quickly).
