::yawns:: The fact remains that deposing Saddam was the right thing to do. The why isn't really important.

All you need is an HTML book or two. It's not hard to do the basics.

What's wrong with Audioslave? To clarify, that's the newest album I've listened to all the way thru. It's one of six in the CD changer in my car. I'd probably listen to more if I actually bought CDs, but since I just download the songs I want, I don't.

To: The Vatican Re: Decrees, Missives, Proclamations, and Statements Msg: Please submit for arrest and prosecution all priests who have sexually molested young boys. Once you do that, then we might actually give a fuck what you have to say again. Of course, since most of what you say is ass-backwards and byzantine, we probably won't, but the Christian thing to do would be to try. Jesus tried, yes he did.

Mike, I have to think Tyler is right here. I didn't read that as Kerry giving nuclear fuel to terrorists. I think the point of it is their need for energy, which they claim to get from their reactors, would be provided thru other means.

Hell, why not. Last time you punched somebody: A friend, in the shoulder, a couple weeks ago. Last time you ate meat: Today. Last time you got arrested: Never have. Last person you sent an e-mail to: Someone at work. I couldn't say exactly who it was. Last regret: You're not getting all my secrets, kids. Last time you wore a suit: Friend's wedding in JUly, and it was a tux. Last country you visited: England. Last injury you suffered: A nasty cut on my right index finger, near the bottom knuckle. Last family outing: My grandfather's funeral, if it counts. We had a wake. Last item you put on your credit card: I use my debit card, and I last used it today to buy groceries. Last beer you drank: Sapporo Last movie you watched in full: In the theatre, The Bourne Supremacy. At home, The Usual Suspects. Last time you lied: At work. Last meal you ate: Kielbasa on the grill. Last time you laughed: Tonight. Last video game you played: ESPN NFL 2K5~! for X-Box. Last album you listened to: "Audioslave," Audioslave. Last time you said 'I'm sorry': Last night... a friend is going thru a difficult time, and I'm sorry he has to go thru it. Last sport you watched: Baseball. Bring on football season. Last time you said 'This is the last time': Shrug.

How about two former Orioles second basemen, Bobby Grich and Davey Johnson. Ignore Johnson the manager.

Turning a quarter-century officially makes you old. Hitting 30, like me, officially makes you Too Bloody Goddamn Fucking Old. Now one of you youngin's fetch me my pipe and slippers.

So you two were just working the board?

Meh, I've actually had a busy day. And it's going to be a busy afternoon, too.

I'm in favor of this idea.

I wasn't referring to your offer. It was Raz's.

Ha, $1 in damages. That's great. They obviously only want the dollar so they can say they siccessfully sued Michael Moore for being a lying windbag in one of his mockumentaries. It would be great, however, if Moore contested it and then had to pay a hell of a lot more than a dollar in legal fees. Heck, legal fees might cut into his Krispy Kreme budget...

Wow. That's a dreadfully inaccurate and unfair categorization of Catholics and their Church. I might be an atheist now, but I went to Catholic school and Church for quite a few years, and that cretin is simply off his rocker.

Not this time, Bruiser. Mike Tyson is a worthless piece of subhuman shit. I came here to talk about an "idol," or at least someone I identified with my hometown team, getting old and hanging it up. Mike Tyson is a worthless piece of subhuman shit. Really, that's the only reason I came here. Why would I have something bad to say about Tyson... ? EDIT: Bah, it doesn't work when you edit your post.

It happened to me when Cal Ripken retired. I'd been watching him since I started watching the Orioles, basically, in 1982. When he hung up the cleats, I realized it was the end of an era not just for the team, but for all the kids who had now grown into adults on the wrong side of 25. When Ripken retired, I realized that it was very likely the team's next 3B would be younger than I was, and that was a little disconcerting.

I grumble when people drive the speed limit, but I really can't fault them for it, since they ARE going the speed limit. The ones who piss me off and make my urge to kill rise are the cocksuckers who go *below* the speed limit, then compound that sin against society by never pulling over for faster traffic to get by. I swear, one day I'm going to finish my hood-mounted disintegrator ray...

I'd rather have the north-south back. You don't need flash and pizzazz in the running game: just hand the ball off and let the guy grind out the yards. Of course you need a good offensive line, but as expensive as RBs and QBs are, there's no excuse for a team having a poor line.

Absolutely. Let Bond be Bond, and let the movies be actual spy movies, not films full of gadgets and explosions. The Bond franchise has always had its tongue planted in its cheek, but a lot of the early movies were very good espionage films. We haven't gotten one of those in a while.

I think you're taking some of these movie discussions too seriously. Chill.

Not quite, but it's enough to make me want to stay in bed some days...

No, I saw it first. The day it was opened, in fact. I just ignored it. Shrug.

There's the door. If you don't like this place, walk thru it and don't come back.

It's his store. If he chooses not to sell it, as much as I find his reasoning backward-thinking, ignorant, and downright silly, then he doesn't have to sell it.

Wow, I used to watch this show all the time... heck, I even have both issues of the comic book. I didn't know it was out on DVD, but now that I do, I'll have to go and get it. I always thought it was a very smart sendup of "Dirty Harry" and similar cop movies/series.
