  1. I still have the pics from the Seattle RAW with HHH, Vince and Co doing the Roonie and ribbing Taker to do one but he didn't. Bastard.
  2. Didn't most of you already fuck the WWE and HHH like last week? Whores.
  3. Aren't you that Kinetic fella? And if so aren't you supposed to be in the Air Force or some shit? How's your Grandma and Grandpa that you were living with down there? And don't you think that your Metal Ed gimmick is better than this Incandenza one Kinetic?
  4. I would have the best shot as I have a job that actually pays REAL money.
  5. I pretty much guarantee you that if you send it to [email protected] that T will get it. Most likely.

  8. Every ISP's abuse e-mail address is abuse@whatevertheISP'snameis.com/net/edu/org/tv/biz/us/ca/etc...
  9. Either that or get an RF modulator from Best Buy for $30. It should fix the issue and if it doesn't.... return it and get your cash back.
  10. It would have made more sense to attack in the late evening from the shadows. The Dark Knight Returns~! I hope the guy that got his ass kicked got it kicked by Tim Burton's Batman and no the Adam West Batman. Being sucker punched by a guy in leotards just plain sucks.

  12. I don't have a problem with that point of view when in comes to natural death. This however is a UN-natural death.
  13. In general I believe the movies to be better from an overall standpoint and I find them to be better viewing experience. I could list all my favorite movies from the 80's but it would be a LONG list.
  14. pastor said Saturday that church leaders were trying to heal an autistic 8-year-old boy when he inexplicably stopped breathing and died during a prayer service Friday night. During the hourlong session, the boy's feet and hands were restrained by his mother and other church members who prayed intensely for his violent tendencies to cease, the pastor's wife said. "He just passed away," Pastor David Hemphill said of the boy. "God is a mysterious person, and if he wants to call a life back, he does." Milwaukee police officers arrested a man Friday night at Faith Temple Church of Apostolic Faith, 8709 N. Fond du Lac Ave., a small storefront in a strip mall that houses Gianelli's Pizza and a dry cleaner. Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Kim Brooks confirmed Saturday night that Ray Hemphill, the pastor's brother and also a minister at the church, was being held at the Milwaukee County Jail on suspicion of physical abuse of a child, a felony. The medical examiner's office declined to release results of an autopsy done on the boy, Torrance Cantrell, citing a police request for non-disclosure. Denise Allison, 25, said she had become close friends with the boy and his mother, Patricia Cooper, during two years living in the duplex above the family in the 5900 block of N. 61st St. Allison said Torrance, called "Junior" by family and friends, was brilliant with his hands, and could craft complex kites from newspaper. Though hardly able to speak, Torrance would knock on her door and shout with a smile, "Tickle," asking Allison to play with and tickle him. The boy often initiated play or communication by punching at people and laughing, though neighborhood kids had learned to not feel threatened, Allison said. "He was really fun to be around, but you had to relax, get to know him and understand his ways," Allison said. "He just wanted love and attention like any other kid." Previous investigation Milwaukee Police Capt. Linda Haynes said there was "no striking or anything like that," when asked whether Torrance had been disciplined during the prayer service, but said police were still investigating. "Circumstances are suspicious because most 8-year-olds don't just die. Unless there's a medical condition - which we're unaware of at this time." Haynes added that the boy "did not die of natural causes." No officials would say if they thought the use of restraints was related to the boy's death, or to Ray Hemphill's arrest. David Hemphill and his church were investigated in 1998 after a mother struck her 12-year-old daughter with a stick during a church service. The girl suffered bruises and cuts. No charges were filed after authorities talked to the mother and Hemphill, who both defended the physical discipline as necessary for the unruly girl. David and Pamela Hemphill said that they did not attend Friday's service, but rushed to church after people there called to tell them the boy was not breathing and 911 had been called. The Hemphills said they talked to the four people who had been at the service: Ray Hemphill, Patricia Cooper and two women they would not name. Pamela Hemphill said Ray Hemphill led the service and directed the women to restrain the boy. The women put some sheets and cloth over the boy's outstretched hands, and "one lady held one hand and the other lady held the other, and his mother held his feet," Pamela Hemphill said. The boy's leather sneakers were removed so he wouldn't hurt anyone if he kicked, she added. The Hemphills said the boy's mother came to the church seeking help about three months ago and said her son was in danger of being institutionalized because he was violent toward himself and his 2-year-old sister. "His mother couldn't get any rest, any sleep because he (her son) was just sick," David Hemphill said. "It had really gotten worse." Praying for a miracle Some church members began holding prayer sessions with the boy three times a week, he said. "We were just trying to pray and see if God gave him a miracle," he said. Pamela Hemphill said the sessions would usually last about two hours with a break halfway. "Sometimes he kicks and scratches and throws himself to the ground," she said. "They hold his hand or maybe his feet and maybe take his shoes off." But at Friday's session, she said, the boy was "unusually quiet." "He seemed to be extremely tired," she said. "He just wiggled and moved a little but not as much as usual." She said the boy was sitting on the floor with others sitting around him. But at one point he lay down and closed his eyes, she said. "After they got through praying, one of the ladies said, 'He doesn't look too good today,' " David Hemphill said. Ray Hemphill checked the boy's pulse and found none, she said. Paramedics arrived but couldn't revive the boy, she said, and pronounced him dead. David Hemphill said he had no explanation for the sudden death, but said the boy was taking medications. "I said, 'Well, God just took him,' " he said. Hemphill said Cooper, who could not be reached Saturday, said " 'My baby's got rest now.' " Radical change, exorcism talk Allison and other neighbors said they'd seen radical changes in Cooper's behavior since she joined the church this spring. Once gregarious and energetic, the single mother getting by mostly on Social Security checks began to live in near-seclusion, appearing dazed, exhausted, and increasingly worried. "They completely brainwashed Pat," Allison said Saturday evening. She said a church member approached Cooper one day when she was struggling to control Torrance outside their home. The person told Cooper that if she brought her son to the church, he could be "spiritually healed." Church members began to take Cooper and Torrance to the church in a van three and four times a day for prayer, Allison said. A woman and her daughter moved in with Cooper early this summer and recently moved out, she said. Other church members were in and out of Cooper's apartment, helping her clean and cook. Allison said Cooper told her that during prayer sessions - both at home and at church - church members would forcibly hold down Torrance and strike him in attempts to heal him of his autism. Allison said Friday's session sounded like one Cooper told her about earlier in the summer. "She called it an exorcism," Allison said. "She said they held him down for almost two hours. He couldn't hardly breathe, and that shocked (Cooper). Then she said the devil started to speak through Junior's voice - though he can't really speak - saying, 'Kill me. Take me.' " Allison began to notice that each time the group gathered in the apartment, Torrance would screech, wail and cry. She and other neighbors noticed Torrance had a fattened lip and black eye the days after at-home prayer sessions, she said. Once, Allison said, she looked through her friend's window and saw church members taking turns striking the boy with a belt as Cooper watched. "I told Pat that it was wrong, but she said the Bible told her you're supposed to chastise your children," Allison said. "I told her to stop, told her what could a little . . . kid ever do that was so wrong to beat him like that? She said the church told her it was the only way to heal him." Allison said she confronted her friend several more times about her concerns, but never contacted authorities because she thought she could counsel her friend away from the church without causing her legal problems. Now, Allison said, she is filled with remorse that she didn't. "All I can do now is tell what happened, and maybe this won't happen again to someone else," Allison said. --------------------------------------------- I don't know what to make of this personally.
  15. I find myself watching a lot of FLIX and the Encore stations for their 80's/Early 90's movies. I find I enjoy the 80's horror/comedies/sci-fi/action movies a lot more than todays movies. I ENJOY today's movies but there are more in the 80's/Early 90's that I enjoy for some reason. Even trash like Stone Cold starring your action hero god Brian Bosworth is better than some action movies today. I mean who didn't like Toy Soldiers?

  17. That ain't cool KKK. And you know I can take quite a bit but that ain't cool.
  18. No. I want to feel the venom of NY vs. BOS when he starts at Fenway. It will be glorious. I hate both teams but the venom would be great.
  19. He's going to the Yankees if he goes anywhere. I can feel it.
  20. I'd kill her myself if I had been her husband.

  23. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Chad Pennington landed hard on the turf after being tackled from behind and immediately clutched his left wrist. Just like that, another starting quarterback was seriously injured in the preseason. Pennington dislocated and fractured his left wrist in the Jets' 15-14 victory over the New York Giants on Saturday night and is out indefinitely. He was tackled from behind by Brandon Short after throwing away a pass with just under two minutes remaining in the first half and landed awkwardly on his wrist. Pennington had X-rays at Giants Stadium, which revealed the fracture-dislocation, and was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York for immediate surgery. The Jets do not know how long their starting quarterback will be out, and said Pennington's status would be determined after surgery. Vinny Testaverde, who turns 40 in November, entered the game in place of Pennington. "We ran a blitz ... I came up the middle untouched," Short said. "Chad rolled to his right. I must have grabbed his legs right as he threw the ball, and he fell down on his arms and was just lying there. "I asked him if he was all right, and he just kept lying there until the trainers came out. It's unfortunate to see someone go down like that." This is the second time in as many weeks a starting quarterback was injured in an exhibition game. Last week, Falcons starter Michael Vick broke his right leg against Baltimore and is expected to be out at least six weeks. "It's really unfortunate because we don't want to see anyone get hurt," said Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, who did not play because of a toe injury. "For him to get hurt like that in a preseason game is just a shame." Pennington replaced Testaverde in the fifth game of last season. Testaverde started 1-3, and Jets coach Herman Edwards decided a change was necessary. The young backup engineered a tremendous turnaround for the Jets, who ended up winning the AFC East and finishing the regular-season 9-7 after a 2-5 start. Pennington led the NFL with a 104.2 passer rating and 68.9 completion percentage. He finished 275-of-399 for 3,120 yards with 22 touchdowns and six interceptions. His favorite target was Laveranues Coles, who left in the offseason for the Washington Redskins. In the preseason, Pennington was building chemistry with new addition Curtis Conway, along with Santana Moss and Wayne Chrebet. Against the Giants, Pennington was 4-of-12 for 58 yards before getting hurt. Testaverde, meanwhile, took his new role as backup with class. But the 17-year veteran saw limited time in the preseason before Pennington's injury. In the first three games, he played one series and went 1-of-3 for 8 yards and an interception. He saw his first extended action Saturday and finished 5-of-11 for 48 yards. Now Testaverde becomes the starter again. Two weeks ago, Edwards said he wanted to figure out a way to get Testaverde to 40,000 yards passing. Testaverde is 442 yards away from the mark, which only eight others have reached. Even though they lost, the Giants (0-3) finally got their offense going. After scoring just one touchdown in their first two preseason games, they got touchdowns on consecutive possessions. Kerry Collins guided a 21-play, 95-yard drive that ate up 9:58 of the first quarter. Collins threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to rookie tight end Visanthe Shiancoe on fourth-and-goal to start the scoring. On their next possession, Collins threw an 88-yard touchdown pass to Ike Hilliard to make it 14-0. Hilliard had an outstanding game, catching seven passes for 150 yards. Collins also looked good and played into the third quarter, finishing 13-of-23 for 198 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Nothing went right for the Jets (2-2). They wanted to work on their running game against the Giants, but starter Curtis Martin had 10 carries for just 14 yards. The Giants dominated the first half, and the Jets' only points came on a 40-yard field goal by Doug Brien. Brien kicked two other field goals, and the Jets took the lead in the fourth quarter when Chad Brinker scored on a 2-yard run. Game notes Several others were injured Saturday. For the Jets: DE John Abraham (back spasms) and T Chris Smith (ankle). For the Giants: T Chris Bober (ribs), TE Marcellus Rivers (thigh bruise), LB Nick Greisen (hamstring), G Sean O'Connor (sprained ankle); LB Dhani Jones (sprained ankle).

    Now if only we can get a one legged driver doing a blade job in the pits after sucessfully getting qualified for a race.
  25. If I had his IP addresses, and then was able to break them all down with some help and figured out his ISP, I assure you that once they cut his line he'd think twice about showing up here again. If my suspicions are correct, this guy is on AOL and I already know who to contact. Do you have ANY idea how goddamn easy it is to find out a guy's ISP? You need HELP? Fuck you are a dumbass.
