Never mind that Ray Nagin stole the Charlotte Hornets, or at least gave them an impressive offer. I'm with Dammy. It'd be horrible to move them back to New Orleans. The team's future was just as tenuous in the antediluvial days. Empty arenas, very little connection to the team, which had only been there for three seasons, where they were known for a first-round exit in the worst series of the 04 playoffs, and then going like 0-20. Now you have a nice arena with great crowds who, coinciding with the recent influx of talent and the void of other pro teams, are going to be very popular in Oklahoma City. New Orleans is not going to be able to support pro teams for quite some time. Shinn knows this, Benson knows this, Tagliabue tells Benson "no you don't SHUT UP." The Hornets aren't going to make a dime in New Orleans, and probably won't be missed. All the focus has been on saving the Saints, and I mean ALL the focus. The New Orleans City Council allegedly started advising Benson who to hire as the new head coach. Slow day at the office? I don't buy the "OKC can't lure free agents" line. You can even get drunk and laid in Salt Lake City, if that's what you're getting at. I don't see it as a redneck place, I envision it as being a relatively comfortable, well-spread-out, white-bread, mid-sized city that's just kinda there, like Omaha. Sure, it's not as perpetually alive as New York, or as bustling with giant black asses as Atlanta, but I'm sure it's an enjoyable enough place to spend half your schedule. If they really are night and day home and road, that's gotta say something. Why does an enthusiastic crowd stop mattering after college? I think that's universal. The record won't always show it, but almost everyone would rather play in front of people who gladly paid to watch you perform than just an empty gym, field, or rink. It's not a feel-good story at all, but it's smart business to permanently set up shop in Oklahoma City. Just like everyone else, there's nowhere to come home to.

You'll have to wait til she goes on a PMs rage, when she just starts PMing everybody. lolz

Yeah, and it rocked, IIRC.

I don't see the correlation between the two. And I love drawing attention to myself.

I don't really know how you could make much judgment seeing as you just joined a month and a half ago, but whatever floats your boat I guess. We can just forget the fact that you've had next to no interaction with any of us, unless you're a PBP of course. Because your opinions don't count until you've got tenure?

I need a new avatar. I accidentally prematurely retired Crotch Man to the sig.

I want to get to the bottom of this.

I like to do face-to-face and instant messages, but I'm not at ease on the phone. It's weird.

That was funnier than what it quoted

Matt, you're about as appropriate for military service as I am. You're drowning in community colleges out there, do that for two years to get the gen-eds out of the way, and transfer after that. I think the success rate of "I'm gonna join the military to get money for college" falls awfully close to "I'm gonna take a year off to you know find myself."

We must've said worse than that in the thread itself. DoCock's attempts to unite TSM and Myspace are not welcome, by the way.

Yeah, there's a lot of shit happening at once on the self-titled. "Windsurfing Nation" gets too busy and cluttered

I like what Broken Social Scene I've heard, but I can't hear how they're going to be in any way memorable. Lord of the Curry will be here to call me an idiot by 4.30 Eastern Standard Time.

Snuffbox, come make fun of Axl Rose with the cool guys.

flog me bum and call me Nigel Only Americans can decide that opposites can be synonyms too

I missed Jelena already? This happens a lot.

Why would you say "could care less" when you could be more articulate with "couldn't care less"? Go all out, I say. It doesn't imply any difficulty. I could care less about the Chicago Cubs. I could care less about macaroni. Both statements are true. I really like the Cubs a lot. I prefer my macaroni be served with tuna if possible. It's just different degrees of care. If you want to say you don't give a shit, then I suggest the massive undertaking of augmenting the word "could" with an n, apostrophe, and t.

I want him to throw Bill Plaschke through that glass wall.

I wonder how a poster who's been here for 6 weeks knows what CC looks like! Bus-ted! Leenowned

COULDN'T care less. Either way is correct, Faulty Grammar Nazi. How is that correct? "Could care less" means that there is already some level of caring being done, which you could do less than if you wanted. Do you use "literally" to mean "figuratively" too?

Like Seattle in early February would be a Super Bowl destination. By the way, CN Tower : Space Needle : penis :: SkyDome : Seahawks Stadium : vagina

Agreed. You know there are strange parrels between Creed and guns and roses. Hmm. Elaborate.
