You're crazy. Jagged Little Pill is easily one of the best albums of the 1990s. There are only a few songs on there in the I-hate-men vein, while there's also a song about parents pushing their kids too hard ("Perfect"), a great song about the hypnotizing power of religion ("Forgiven"), and plenty of other good stuff. I'll admit to being a fan of acerbic writing (which is why I'm a John Lennon fan), and Alanis certainly does her share, but to say Jagged Little Pill is just a treatise on the evils of men is both shallow and wrong. Anyway, I think American music peaked in the 1970s, and in particular 1976. That year, Aerosmith released Rocks and the Eagles released Hotel California, the two definitive albums of the decade. Since then, it's been all downhill. There have been a few bright spots along the way, but music is still on a decline from 1976.

Michael: I know I said I wanted another skin graft to make me whiter, but come on...

Knock yourself out. That rubbish made me swear off it even harder.

I like Outback, but as a pure steakhouse, I think Ruth's Chris takes it down. Shula's is right there in terms of quality, but their prices are higher, so RC gives you more bang for the buck.

But he was miserable on the mound when he first got off the DL. Then he found his groove again, and was the team's best starter the last two months of the season. It looked like he'd come all the way back from the surgery, and considering he's won a Cy Young before, so I was suprised the Orioles didn't re-sign him. Hell, it's not like the Jays gave him a ton of money. I'd rather have Hentgen than Rodrigo Lopez.

I'm a bit NE of you, Eric, but there is a Ruth's Chris in Baltimore, not far from the Harbor and the Improv, Morton's is right nearby, and Shula's in on the ground floor of the Windsor Hotel. These are all a few minutes off of I-95 and there's plenty of parking nearby (RC will valet park your car, and I imagine the others will too). I know there's a Ruth's Chris and a Shula's somewhere in the northern VA area, but I don't get down that way much, so I wouldn't know exactly where.

I think this will also lead to tensions between Clark and Lex, setting up the Superman/Luthor mutual hate society that has to come later, according to canon. Although... Spoiler (Highlight to Read): If Lex does emerge from the asylum with no short-term memory, he won't remember enough to blame Clark for abandoning him to that place.

Napalm. Lots and lots of Napalm.

And it's FUCKING STUPID the Orioles didn't pick up his option, considering the way he pitched down the stretch last season. The guy's a former Cy Young for chrissakes, and he looked to be getting some good form back last year. For two supposedly pitching-conscious executives, Beattie and Flanagan sure dropped the ball on this one.

I don't want to see him in a Ravens' uniform. Keyshawn has been overrated his entire career, and he drops way too many passes to consider himself an elite receiver. The sad thing is, despite his flaws, he's better than anyone the Ravens presently have at WR. Still, he's a possession receiver at best, and considering how much he bitches when he doesn't see 10 balls a game, he wouldn't fit in. Let someone else add this cancer to their team. Though I think it would be funny as hell to see Ray Lewis break him in half during a scrimmage.

Stay gone, Eagan.

They did it to me before I even made a post. The sad thing is that Ive never been here before. That was probably me. I delete any username from the authorization queue that meets the following criteria: -- It's in ALL CAPS -- It's a close variation of a name previously banned -- It sounds like a name a 10-year-old retard would use -- The email address is suspicious, like [email protected] It's based purely on past experiences that people who registered names fitting the above criteria caused A LOT of problems, and by whacking them from the queue, the problems are being nipped in the bud. If someone who wasn't banned before really wants to post here as a serious poster, not a gimmick or troll, then they'll get the hint and register more properly.

There is no England.

No, that's the truth. I don't have time to write the NFL Report right now. Too many other projects on my plate. I'm also getting paid to write for one site now, so as much as I like writing for TSM and writing about football, paid > not paid. I'll do the regular-season ones when I can, but expect it to be irregular. For the playoffs, I'm there.

I have been there, but it's been a few years. Everyone I know who has been to both says Vegas blows AC away. I need to get back to AC anyway, since they usually have good poker tournaments on the weekends.

Your IP isn't far off from his, Mario. I sincerely hope that wasn't you.

Started by a PBP just to stir shit, so there's no point in keeping this one open.

So are previously banned posters who can't take a fucking hint.

It's an account occasionally used by Areacode212. Of course, one could also say that his regular account is "occasionally used" these days...

The first one definitely does. The second will remain to be seen.

I need to go to Vegas. Poker and strip clubs, here I come. Someday.

Man would that sell, it would probably sell more copies then any of her albums. Fah. I wouldn't pay one cent for it. ... but I'd be downloading the SHIT out of it on Kazaa!

His body stores solar energy in its cells. Yellow sun energy charges up the cells, while red sun energy drains them. Thus, Superman is basically a walking solar battery. The only times I remember his powers failing was the DC crossover where the sun was blotted out (mid-90s, forget the name), and in The Dark Knight Returns, when a powerful nuclear bomb obscures the sun by tossing sand and debris into the atmosphere.

They should turn filibusters into dirty limerick marathons. How much would it own to see Trent Lott get up on C-SPAN2 and say, "There once was man from Nantucket... "
