  1. I kick ass on the recorder. We're talking symphonies and shit.
  2. Peanut Buster Parfait. Seriously.
  3. Who cares? I've never seen so much advocacy of un-banning people as I see on this board; it defies comprehension.
  4. Burnt to a crisp is preferred. Although I have been known to appreciate a fine cut of meat, medium-well. That's about as far as I'll go, though.
  5. Cox had it at 0 minutes; I knew that couldn't be right...
  6. What the hell is it with you assholes and Sacramento, anyway?
  7. I'll respectfully disagree and bow out of it. I can see a boy's high school team beating UConn or Tennessee, but I don't see it as a lock, and I certainly don't see it as a squash. I tend to look at a game between the women's college champions and the boys high school champions the same way I look at a game between the Nuggets and the Pistons: if they're hitting their shots, they can win. If they're not, they're probably going to get crushed. But, again, I fail to see what exactly that proves. It doesn't prove that women's basketball is bad, and it certainly doesn't prove that women can't play. The only thing it proves is that males are physically larger, stronger and faster than females on average.
  8. Like I said before, there aren't enough great women athletes to go around, it's not that they can't play. The trouble with Title IX (if you want to call it that) is that it more or less requires every Division I school to have a women's basketball team. Which, in turn, means that there are way more scholarships being offered to girls than there are girls who can play. And, let's face it, expansion hurts every sport: if there were only twenty women's programs in the country, nobody would be saying that the basketball was bad.
  9. I don't live there, but I've enjoyed the time that I spent there. It's not a hole. And your characterization of my reaction is mildly hyperbolic.
  10. Speaking as a former mod at the shit hole that is PW.com Forums (The WWE Folder No Less) that thing gets abused soooo much. Someone misspells something, referred, someone likes Cena a little too much, referred, I can see it's use, but honestly I'd log on and have 700 referred posts to check over childish shit. Hrmm... Well, I guess I'd never really considered the other boards I visit as being more "mature" than a wrestling/pop culture board full of 16-26 year-old males... but, now that I think about it, I reckon they probably are...
  11. I'll repeat the question I asked in TCS: why doesn't this board have a "Refer a Post" option?
  12. Please tell me there's a way to mass-delete this jackoff's entire posting history, like there is on vBulletin?
  13. You know what I just noticed? This is the only one of the half-dozen or so message boards I visit on a daily basis that doesn't have a "refer a post" function. What's up with that?
  14. I see that you've written a sentence, using words that I comprehend individually. But, together, they just don't make sense...
  15. Why do you need a mod to do it? I've had pictures turned off since '04...
  16. It's times like this that make me very happy I have avatars and pictures disabled. Ban pls
  17. I'm not saying this to be sexist, but I truly believe the men's team would mop the floor with the women. My high school coach said that he once had a team of his play a nationally ranked women's college team in a scrimmage and it was an absolute slaughter. I'd imagine that the women would be coached well enough to put up a fight, but the disparity in athleticism would be a nightmare. "Nationally ranked" doesn't mean a whole lot. I like women's basketball, and I'll be the first to admit that there aren't nearly enough great women players to go around. So, if by "nationally ranked," you mean Ohio State or Virginia or UTEP, you might be right, but I don't think that a boy's high school team could beat any women's team in the top ten, and I'd bet money they couldn't beat any team in the top 5. But, that's neither here nor there, because whether or not they can beat the men is a ridiculously bullshit and unreasonable criteria. They're not supposed to beat the men; that's not the standard. This isn't, like, the old ABA, where you could make a legitimate argument for how good they were with respect to the NBA. The WNBA is not supposed to compete with the NBA, and they're not supposed to compete with men's college, just like women's college isn't supposed to compete with men's college or boy's high school; that's just not how it works. You say that you're not trying to be a sexist, but what could a statement like that be, other than a way to diminish women athletes? Even if it is true, the only way that it proves anything is if you're operating under the belief that women athletes are not legitimate or worthy of recognition unless they can compete with the men. They're not supposed to compete with the men; they're supposed to compete with other women. Creating some sort of "battle of the sexes" environment is not the point of having women's athletics. That's the same as saying that Holly Holm shouldn't be recognized as a boxer unless she can go ten with Floyd Mayweather... although, AFAIK, you actually believe that, too. I seem to remember reading somewhere a while ago that a middle-aged man (late 40s/early 50s) has the equivalent muscle power of a woman in her 20s of the same size. Assuming that that's anywhere close to being scientifically accurate, why exactly should there be any expectation for women to demonstrate that they are athletically equal in order to be considered legitimate? There is no sport (I do not consider golf or auto racing to be sports) where women can compete with men at the highest level... so, what are you saying? That women don't get to play sports? Or they're just not allowed to be on tv?
  18. Leftover ribs? Does not compute.
  19. If you're taking requests, I nominate D12's Fight Music for the theme song.
  20. If you played a drinking game where you took a shot every time Barkley said "first of all," you'd die of alcohol poisoning before halftime...
  21. Since we're on the subject, does anybody know the name of (or where to find) 2 Cold Scorpio's first theme in WCW? The one he had before that gawdawful one that they did the music video to?
  22. No, Agent is right, women's basketball is horrible. Fine: both of you can kiss my ass, then. I'd rather watch basketball, at any level, of either gender, than any other sport that ain't basketball. If it came down to it, I'd pick an AAU game over the Superbowl. It's a niche sport marketed as if it's mainstream. After being beaten over the head with the WNBA constantly, you start to develop a good, healthy resentment toward it. Unless, of course, you happen to like the WNBA... :: points thumbs at self ::
  23. Eat a dick; women's basketball is fine.
  24. The first PPV that I ever saw live and the first PPV that I saw in person were the same show: Summerslam '94. I took my pops with me to see that show; it was a thank-you for taking me to see my first baseball game at Wrigley Field, some twelve years prior (even though I never did end up becoming a baseball fan), and the first time I actually had my own money to do something for my parents.
  25. I will be very interested to see how Tagia writes WC... I don't know that she's been matched up with a true speedster yet.
