I think Eddy's next low-rider should crack wise.

OAO Raw looks pretty small today...Flames game stole a lot of people, I'm guessing.

He then chalks it up to his theory that Germans love David Hasselhoff.

not exactly correct explain how. if it's a 1, 4, or 6, it's zero in calculating the sum. Using my discovery I got it right multiple times.

Well if it's out of the strike zone, do you still have to? And I can't imagine people willing to get hit by an 90-mph projectile so they can get to first base.

Yeah I did, him and Mar-TAN Bro-DOOR Seriously, how many times did that little guy get knocked on his ass over the course of the series? It seems like lil' Marty just bumped like a pinball against those big mean Calgary guys. I think if Tampa had been up by two at the end, the Flames should've just started beating the shit out of all of them. Hey, if you're goin' down, drag 'em down with ya.

Eh well at least it's only at 93rd on the list. I'm not sure I even favor the mass retirement. The Dodgers and Mets should, by all means, but it's hard to make a case for the Rockies or Devil Rays following suit.

I'm going to register my disgust on the Internet for all the world to read. "Meh" is the word all right. I can't care about Tampa Bay winning the Stanley Cup. Andreychuk this, San-Loueeee that, it's the fact that the Flames winning it would've been a thousand times cooler. And don't even get me started on the bad call in Game 6 that ended up costing the Flames the series in the end. Apparently in addition to the shameless promotion during intermissions, the NBA is also creeping into the officiating. Incompetent jerks. Part of me wants the full-year lockout because I don't think I can handle a fourth year of the plucky underdog with the hot goalie choking in the finals to an established high-ranked team. If I get Avs-Thrashers in '05, I'm bustin' skulls.

I got it on the first try! just count how many non-central dots there are on the dice

Yeah this is a huge series for St. Louis and the Cubs. We need it more than they do though. I agree that Interleague is worthless unless it's a cross-town matchup or relocation-related like the Yankees against the Dodgers or the Giants, or A's/Phillies, Red Sox/Braves, Mariners/Brewers(obscure~!), Cardinals/Orioles. But nobody wants to see the Rockies against the Blue Jays.

Well I know people would be let down by hockey getting #1. And I'm a hockey fan. I think it should be, I'm just skeptical of its acceptance from everyone else. And besides. It's ESPN. #1 is gonna be Jordan or Bonds, not Neal Broten.

This just in: Smackdown has changed its colors to teal.

I think he's above you too. So am I, RRR, Horse Hockey!, and Eagan.

B-b-b-but Incandenza started it! It MUST be brilliant! You're just too dumb to figure it out then.

Tickets are $10, popcorn is $20. The soundtrack should be in stores but they said something about "data-publishing issues"? Okay?

Easy. Just inflict all the injuries mentioned in this thread.

I'm stoked for the Cubs against the Seattle Mariners. This time, it's personal?

I'd like to think it would go over, but you can't think there's not a contingent of people who would be pissed off if it wasn't football or baseball, or even basketball.

Yeah you'd expect "The Pistons are only in this game because they haven't turned it over enough yet"

America will freak if hockey gets the top spot. It's #3 at best behind Jordan's second last shot ever and the Patriots winning after September 11th. Hey, I didn't say it SHOULD be that way. I wonder what will get mentioned for NHL. 1993 Stanley Cup was a big deal, you had the Canadiens and Kings coming out of the middle of the divisions culiminating in Patrick Roy vs. Wayne Gretzky. New York '94 will probably get mentioned, as will Detroit '98 when they dedicated the win to Konstantinov.

I don't know. I wanna know why Bernie Mac is doing commercials for the Illinois Lottery.

I want Detroit to shock the world and shut down the Lakers in four straight. That would be a markout moment.

I don't like saying that Iraq is "just like Vietnam." (For one thing, the music was better.) But to be serious, they aren't really the same beast at all. You can go "Haliburton is making money just like Bell Helicopter!" and "It's a war we don't want to fight!" but beyodn those superficial things there are so many very different things between Iraq and Vietnam that give the two wars their own very individual dynamics. While we're on the topic of Vietnam, I'd like to recommend Tim O'Brien's novel The Things They Carried to anyone who has yet to read it. It draws you in and pisses you off. I won't give away much else right now.

Well let's see. pappajacks just used his lack of historical knowledge to try and discredit the man's presidency. cynicalprofit chimes in with the Alzheimer's joke that nobody really thinks is funny. The only thing that this Dumbshit Holiday that is the "Sad News" thread needs now is SKBF's opinion. "In the 80s, we were the REAL Evil Empire, not the Soviets. Reagan should've employed an army of food men."

It's like everything American rolled into one: big city, cowboys, and ignorance! Bradshaw, you fool. He should've known that Germany is really sensitive about the Nazi past and any sort of gestures or paraphernalia relating to the subject is strictly verboten. Don't Neo-Nazis over there get into REAL trouble?
