Dr. Tom

Obviously not. I mean, Korean grocers are responsible for a lot of inner-city hate...

The only reason I wouldn't give him the death penalty is because he wanted to die. His absolutely stupid and careless actions, however, led to multiple deaths and injuries. He should absolutely go to jail for life, and have to do the most backbreaking manner of labor possible. Which, in CA, is probably rubbing suntan lotion on the guards' backs...

Thanks, Colonel. It seemed appropriate.

Two words: affirmative action. Smokers are not a racial or ethnic minority. They're people who choose to maintain a filthy, disgusting habit, and they have to bear the responsibilities that come with that habit. A health-care company, given the nature of their business, should absolutely be able to enforce a no-smoking policy.

Bring me the head of John the Baptist!

I'd be just as happy with Braylan Edwards, actually. Maybe happier, since he actually played this year. I'd rather have a talented rookie WR than Moss, actually. Not only will the rookie come cheaper, but he won't have the emotional baggage attached. Though I'd like to see Moss pull a bush-league move like walking off the field during a game when he has to answer to Ray Lewis in the locker room. Matt Birk might get in Moss' face; Ray Lewis would EAT his face for something like that.

I only had summer reading, which was usually 2-4 books over the course of the summer. Of course, one of them was The Origins of Totalitarianism for AP European History. The other one for that class was pretty light: Yertle the Turtle, by Dr. Seuss. We even got to pick which one to write the book report on.

And what the fuck do you expect me to do? When every post I make is followed up by some childish comment then I'm eventually going to go off the deep end. But the fact is I'm here to stay. I haven't done anything to get myself banned nor will I so you kids are going to have to deal with me posting because I'm not going to stop. To answer the question in bold: ignore it. You're in college. That means you're an adult, at least chronologically. Start acting like one. If you think people are baiting you, ignore them and read the next post. I'm tired of threads getting derailed because you have to make a childish retort to every real or imagined slight. We've been accommodating to you before with respect to these problems. No longer. You've had plenty of chances to grow up and get a thicker skin. My patience for it has ended. Yes, you *can* be banned, and you will be the next time you go off on some infantile tantrum because somebody called you out on something. Now, everyone, let's keep this on topic. That being the Super Bowl, not who's rooted for one of the teams the longest.

But the AARP would've been all up in arms about old fogey stereotypes...

WTF? Considering they've made exactly ZERO significant moves this offseason (no, signing two guys whose combined age is 500 doesn't count), why would they pull out. Goddamnit, it's really becoming difficult to be an Orioles fan.

We got about 10" here. It started Saturday morning and stopped late Saturday evening. I dug my car out once the snow had stopped. This morning, I went to work as normal. Snow doesn't bother me; what does is the fact that many people in MD go apeshit when it snows and lose what little driving ability and common sense they had.

Yes, AOL's crappy web browser eats deeply of the man-ass. It's caused problems for others in the past. Use IE or some other broswer (Firefox works fine, too) instead, and that should solve the problem.

And there's a lot of snow. We Sith Lords are not adept at piloting our speeders in the snow. And those fucking rebels, with their "SUVs"...

I wear one, and insist my passengers do, because I tend to speed and drive like a demon. But I think it's asinine that people are required to wear seat belts.

Now you're just playing hard to get.

So am I. Loss > most heterosexuals in this thread

Yeah, that would be a good thing to share. I haven't had this specific problem, but every now and then, files that played fine under v9 get an "error downloading codec" message under v10. And I'm pretty certain I have the important codecs, including the DiVX one.

Dell and Toshiba are good. You can order off their websites.

Wrong? Maybe. An incredibly stupid and pointless waste of emotional energy? You bet.

It's hidden -- and yes, it is called the Gulag now -- from all non-staff normally. However, those who are whiny bitches and deserve some time in the gulag receive a permission mask that makes that the only folder they can see, and it's read-only. The most recent person to be incarcerated for a time was Jason, after his absurd Hitler thread. I made a topic for him, with a nice swastika picture he could enjoy, and a caption of "Seig Heil, you dumb motherfucker," or something like that.

Ok, this definitely did not need another topic. The last one spiraled into shit -- not that it was ever much to begin with, but still. I don't want to see anymore topics about this marginally newsworthy event. The British royal family has to act like doofuses at times to remind people that they actually still exist. Just allow them their inbred eccentricities and move on. And to "Jim Ross": if you wish to continue posting here, stop being an anti-Semitic fuckhead. Closed.

No. He, Teke, and PK worked out an arrangement that everyone is happy with. I'm not going to interfere in it.

I wasn't going to say that at all. I think the banning was an overreaction, yes. People certainly shouldn't go around making comments like that loosely, but it is an opinion he honestly expressed. It would be different, of course, if someone were to make actual threats against the lives of the PResident and VP. In that case, such a person should be banned and reported to the authorities.

Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox.

Let's clarify. I'm not going to get rid of the wrestling content. Our writers are too good and too dedicated for that, and I'm not going to shit on them and their contributions by undercutting them. From a viability perspective, wrestling is a niche market that is currently in a decline several years long. While wrestling content will certainly attract wrestling fans to the site and forums, something else will eventually need to be there to get them to stay. Since "pop culture" (using that term to encompass movies, music, art, literature, and sports) will always be around and always have a fairly steady and stable audience, I think that's ultimately more important, but TSM has always been about both, so it need to continue to be about both. I'm definitely in favor of blowing up the mainpage, though. Even if it means we have to archive all the articles here in the forum archives; that can be setup so each writer can do their own content.
