    Dream Theater - Metropolis 2000

    I have gotten the DVD, but have yet to watch it. I've searched for easter eggs online but can only find something about a colour bar and watching auditions. Anyone have anything else just in case you might have the DVD? Also, I am feeling kind of ripped that there are more songs on the CD, unless there are more easter eggs that I can't find. Obviously, it's better to have the video and such, but still, I'd have preferred to hear some stuff off of "Images and Words". I vaguely recall seeing an mpeg of "Another Day", so I'm guessing that the footage is somewhere on the DVD? Help me out here people. I already know the Bonus material is all of the stuff from the third disc in the box set. But I'm really hoping that a lot of the stuff that isn't listed is somewhere on there. While I'm at it, of the ones that have watched it, if any, what did you think of it? What were you expecting, and was it worth getting? I'm a big DT fan and I got it as a gift, so I can't imagine being disappointed. It's just that more songs from IAW would make it just *that* much better.

    "Of course you can play Bass Token, you're black~!" Sorry, first thing that came to my mind when I saw your sig. He looks really gay in the picture though. Ah well, maybe there's a stereotype about homosexuals slapping and popping that I don't know about... Homosexuals have faster fingers? Maybe FEMALE homosexuals.....

    Pakistani man decapitates himself in my town

    Some guy did that to his legs copying Motley Crue, than like burned himself to the max. They had to apologize and shit, so I guess this was before the days of people suing for their own stupidity. Some kid in my eigth grade class tried it, but withOUT gasoline. I secretly hoped that something went wrong and that it would spread. Not because I didn't like him, but I would've had a good laugh. Now that I think about it, people failing= teh funniez~!

    Boy in 'Wrestling Death' Freed From Jail

    When I was thirteen, I got into the first *real* fight in my life. I didn't pick on anyone, merely defending myself. I broke his leg, and stayed with the bastard till the ambulance came. Didn't even suspend me, because I wasn't in the wrong for that one. Looking back, I show NO remorse for what I did. IF I picked on a small six year old girl, and had done the same damage odds are I would've done worse then break her leg. I'd probably feel guilty enough that I'd throw myself away in prison for life. Of course, the irony is that someone who would feel remorse in the situation probably WOULDN'T DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. That's what disturbed me the most; he asked for toys. In addition to the fact that he's fucked up and should be locked away for a good long time, that piece of information should put him away for life. I was doing an essay on Crime And Punishment, by Dostoyevsky, and I used this case as a citation. I had the mp3 of the Judge's verdict, and although it's only a minute, it really is an emotional listen. Especially when he says "I am moved by the outpouring for Lionel Tate, but I am dismayed by the lack of support for Tiffany Eunick. You shall be incarcerated for the rest of your natural life." Just to say, I don't think him doing this again will be a problem. I would bet anything that he won't kill anyone again, not because he's learned his lesson, but because he's probably thinking "well I was let off the hook once don't wanna take my chances and go to jail again." Regardless, he isn't REALLY rehabilitated, and the punishment didn't really fit the crime, but these days everybody jumps on a bandwagon for something, some cause, and normally "wrongful" convictions are a popular pick. Only In America~!

    Dream Theater - Metropolis 2000

    ACH~! Thanks for the info, sounds great but I was really looking forward to seeing some Images and Words stuff on there, from the same concert. Why would they put it on the Box set and not the *live* DVD? Either way, I was pleased as I watched it up to "Fatal Tragedy". Any Easter Eggs other than the Hypnotist segment?

    WBC to Lennox Lewis:

    Ahem: Real Fighting Sorry, just had to get that out of the way. As for the topic at hand, Lennox Lewis will probably retire and pussy it out. He doesn't seem to have the passion that he once had when he wanted to have a go at Holyfield after the first screwy decision. There are some major parallels between this fight and that one, and just imagine how pissed off Lennox would be had Holyfield retired after their "draw".

    Boy in 'Wrestling Death' Freed From Jail

    Well apparently the mother of the victim forgave him, on accounts of him being a man and accepting that he intended to hurt her. Of course being a man would mean that he wouldn't have been let out so early, so this is an odd paradox of sorts. If he's gonna get tried again, what kind of sentence might he get then, for second degree murder?

    Crew-cut, wild look in his eyes, and a face that looks like he's toughened up from taking too many shots. All of that plus he's fighting the Conservative battle. I'd say he's the "Anti-hippie". Glorify him in your sig.

    Best Teen Movie EVER

    I just happened to catch this one on the IFC the other day, but the music in thie film alone pushes it ahead of everything else; Pump Up The Volume. Sure it's over the top, exaggerated and Christian Slater acts a lot like Jack Nicholson, but the movie is still fucking awesome. I've just been surprised at how few people have heard of this movie. It was big at the time wasn't it? I wouldn't know, as in 1990 I was fast approaching my FOURTH birthday. EDIT: Is "Can't Hardly Wait" really that good as well? It just looked so shitty from what I remember, like, I don't know, Varsity Blues.

    1. I think President Bush is hot. Wrong? How do you think you proved, or even could prove me wrong on that? 2. President Bush is in extremely good shape, not just "for his age," but for anyone of any age. A 44 bpm resting heart rate is not something that even top athletes generally have. Wrong? Go read up on the BPM rate. It's an excellent indicator of overall health. 3. Many Marines and Secret Service agents, who have some of the most rigorous training regimens in the world, can't keep up with President Bush. Wrong? The news article I posted proved it. Plus, I've seen it in person. He carries on easy conversations while running, as most of his guests are red-faced, panting, streaming sweat, and struggling to keep pace. Yeah, I'm always the first one to contradict any praise of anyone by saying "I could do better than that." No, wait. That's you. Congratulations on finally accepting the truth. There, that didn't hurt too much, did it? Now all you have to do is swallow a little more of your pride and admit that no one on this board is likely to be in half as good shape as the President, regardless of his age or the average age of the posters here, and I'll let you off the hook. Well, that's a fucking revelation, considering I trained a bunch of them. Here's a tip: when you're criticising someone else for what you feel was unwonted hyperbole, don't indulge in it yourself. Those words never came out of my mouth. I lightheartedly said that the President could turn me straight easily, and said that he was in great shape. And he is. You came along almost immediately to denigrate him because apparently you take it as a personal insult when I express admiration for anyone who isn't you. Sorry, but whatever your fixation is with me, it's not my problem. It's yours. Do you feel like a big strong manly stud now? I must say, I always feel like a big manly stud... ....or not. Eh, he's fit. Good for him. You think he's hot. Good for you. I just finished my exams. Good for me.

    Translation: I was wrong on most counts and was caught in my bullshit but since you mentioned a couple of sentences about running I'm gonna overexaggerate that point and talk about how you constantly brag about your physique much like how I overexaggerate everything about that hunk in the white house. So I'm the most smug and self-impressed person that you've ever met in your life? I'm sorry, but having some confidence in yourself will probably seem like I consider myself a God when you consider the fact that we're on a wrestling message board. Self-deprecating humour is the shit here. Ironically, you probably build up yourself more than anyone else on the board. If I did mention that I can beat up a US Soldier or something, because I honestly don't remember, that makes what, two posts out of like 1400? Yeah, I constantly brag about my physique. I'll tell you this much, regardless of whatever I might have said before; whatever intense training the Marines go through, I can't do it. Simple eh? But I can tell you that it involves more than running around a track. You talked through your ass about the President BEIGN THE FITTEZT MENZ EVERZ OMG HEZ SO HAWT~!!!!!!!! so I called you on it, if only because it's such a ridiculous thing to say. But hey, if I didn't call you on it, I wouldn't have been able to read that story about the 100 degree run, something that I really want to try. Of course, now that I mentioned it, I expect you to come up with something else that's stupid about me. Bleh. OMG EYE DONT HAV XACTLY 4TEEN HUNDREED POSTS IM SO STOOPID~!!!!

    And the top 1% of marathon runners of any age. Check the numbers. Clearly wrong? I'd say clearly right. Also, the President is not sixty. As for "old people" regularly "jogging" a 7 minute mile, that's pretty fucking impressive. I can't do that. I never could. (emphases added) - Reuters story I meant that something would be "clearly wrong" with the Marines if they weren't fitter than a fifty seven year old man. Like I said before, they probably are fitter than him, as long distance running is not the only characteristic used. I knew his age, but talk about semantics. Christ. Like I said, obviously he can outjog most old people as he has the best personal trainers in the world. I'd like to think he can outjog most old people. My point was that old people jog, as in that's what they do. I never said that they were as fast as he is or whatever. You said he could jog the mile in 7 minutes, but the article says 7 1/2. OMG U LIER!~!!~!$#%#~! The only memory I have of timing my run was part of some 5k run our school had. What is that, like 2 1/2 miles or something? I don't know. I ran it in 16 minutes, in the middle of November when I hadn't trained in four months and hadn't partaken in any regular exercise. Not bad though, I'd like to try his 100 degree run, as I'd like to wear that t-shirt. It would be cool to try to run up the hills and such anyway. EDIT: I only came in tenth by the way, so nine people had done better than I. You're probably right, I have never heard of anyone fitter than him. All those professional athletes, they don't even come close.

    How many "twenty somethings" in the world do you think are capable of running 10 miles in 100 degree heat? Most of his own SECURITY DETAIL can't keep up with him, and the Secret Service has one of the most rigorous set of physical requirements of any organisation anywhere in the world. Entire Marine Corps platoons have collapsed by the trackside while he ran laps around them. President Bush has a resting heartbeat of barely 44 beats per minute and less than 15% body fat. 99% of the best marathon runners in the world, of ANY age, can't match that. And you think anyone on an internet message board comes close? Ridiculous. You don't know anyone in better shape. You've never even heard of anyone in better shape. Yeah, I'm sure. I suppose you win a couple of Iron Man triathlons every morning before breakfast, and three on Sundays? Ignorant little braggart. It said top 1% of men HIS AGE. Obviously if he has the best physical trainers in the world he can be in better shape than a bunch of 60 year old men. I didn't know that fitness was only determined by long distance running. My mistake. If the Marine Corps can't keep up with a sixty year old man, than something is clearly wrong there. I don't care if he's in the top 1% of men his age, that still doesn't change the fact that he's in the top 1% of SIXTY YEAR OLD MEN. Obviously though, they're fitter because there are more aspects to one's physical condition than long distance running. That's what old people do! They jog. You tend to see him in a much brighter light than the rest of us. I like him and all, as I'm sure most of the people that frequent this folder do as well, but dayume.

    UFC 46: Super Natural

    I thought it's live, how can they decide to show a fight or not depending on how good it is? I believe they tape the preliminary fights before the show goes live and show the best ones after the final live match if there's still time left in the PPV. Ach, that makes no sense, you'd think that they would keep the main event last since it's well, the main event. It only screws people up. Well just me.

    I don't get this. President Bush is in better shape than anyone on this board, including me. I'd love to see him in a toga or anything at all, or nothing at all, actually... Um, I'm going to stop talking right about now. You're kidding right? I mean, I know he's pretty much the fittest president we've had or whatever (I thought his dad was, but I don't even know and he was probably much older during his time in office) but I highly doubt he's fitter than a bunch of twenty somethings. Twenty somethings on a message board, about wrestling to boot, but twenty something regardless. Worst comes to worst, he ain't fitter than me I tell you that much. Still a fan of his though, I just think that you're going overboard. Olympic Slam has always shown traces of conspiracy in him, but he's just out of the fucking closet now. I personally believe that Extreme Conservative Conspiracy Theorists are funnier than Extreme Liberal Conspiracy theorists, although I could see why one would think differently. "Bush = Hitler" is just as funny as "Bush = Commie Pinko Fag".

    What were your grades...

    Why wouldn't that go over well? Hell, those either seem like bird courses, if they're even real subjects at all. Teaching Apprenticeship? EDIT: I'm in high school. I have two exams on Friday and two on Monday, for my senior year and I can't fuck it up or I won't get accepted into U of T, which has pretty high standards. Yay. Actually, they are all 400 level courses. Nutrition and Disease was the hardest class I've taken at Cornell. More medical terms than I knew what to do with, with an MD professor who talked over everyone's head. Empirical research was an easy A, but to get it I had to clone a DNA library from tissue mRNA and grow cell lines. Teaching apprenticeship was tough. I taught a class as an undergraduate TA. I had to grade twenty 15 page papers, write exam questions, prepare for and teach a 60 minute section each week, and some other stuff. And Mole, I'm Nutritional Biochemistry. I do just about the same stuff as he would. I see. I was thinking about taking life sciences, but I'm more of a "Maths/Physics" kind of guy, so that's out of the question. I can't stand all of the memorizing crap that comes with biology and kinesiology, such a waste of time. For someone whose used to percentages and the like, how does the GPA work? I always thought that 4.0 was perfect or something, but then someone said that they had gotten higher? What's a 4.0 then, like an 85?
