Crimson Platypus

I know it's illegal in Michigan. ER SO I'VE HEARD FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT TOLD ME.

I just ordered American Gods by Gaiman off of Amazon.com, that will be the next read for me. Like people said above, Buick was just there. Nothing happened at all. Hell I would have accepted a shitty "hollywood happy" ending as opposed to the nothing resolved garbage that ended it.

I finished "From a Buick 8" last night. I could have stopped 1/2 way through and had the same feeling. What a disappointment.

What?

Sums up my thoughts exactly.

The first thing you need to do is move to a new city. You're 22 years old and still living with your parents? Unacceptable. Find an entry level management job in a larger city close enough to your home town that you can occasionally visit your parents to avoid home sickness. Meet new people, find a hobby that doesn't require hours of concentration.

Ours was "We didn't start the fire". Ugh...

Arnie's cheesy lines in Commando: (After Matrix throws a pipe through Bennett) Matrix: Let off some steam, Bennett. Sully: Here's twenty dollars to get some drinks in Val Verde. It'll give us all a little more time with your daughter. Matrix: You're a funny man, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last. Matrix: Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last? Sully: That's right, Matrix! You did! Matrix: I lied. Cooke: You scared motherfuxxer? Well you should be because this green beret is going to kick your big ass. Matrix: I eat green berets for breakfast. And right now I'm very hungry. Matrix: I'll be back, Bennett. Matrix: (after killing some dude in the plane) Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired. Cindy: What happened to Sully? Matrix: I let him go.

Yeah I like reading those, I don't really have any teams in mind, maybe just the "bubble" teams would be cool.

Without having seen the games where Alexander was not very good, I would say that that could probably be (at least in part) because of the fact that teams would, and could stack the line and concentrate on stopping him because Robinson and Jackson couldn't catch a football with a butterfly net.

Wildly inconsistent? His numbers over the past 4 seasons: 2004 368 carries, 1736 yards, 4.7 ypc, 16 TDs 2003 326 carries, 1435 yards, 4.4 ypc, 14 TDs 2002 295 carries, 1175 yards, 4.0 ypc, 16 TDs 2001 309 carries, 1318 yards, 4.3 ypc, 14 TDs If that's wildly inconsistent I'd hate to see what consistent is. As far as Seattle making out like bandits in the deal, I fail to see how aquiring one of the best running backs in football is such a bad thing. Cedric Benson or whomever Seattle would end up drafting might end up being great, but Alexander already is. I'll take as close to a sure thing as you can get over the crap shoot of the draft any day.

haha 10%? That's not good.

4th in the ACC and wins over Duke, Maryland and GT? Nice, I would think that they should be in based on that. Might need a win or two in the tourney to solidify their standing though.

And from further down:

I agree about the announcers. They need to have knowledgeable, well spoken announcers that can explain things like the scorecard. Maybe have someone who scores each round and explains why they scored it the why they did. Like someone above said, this is a great way for boxing to showcase itself. Being a long-time boxing fan (my grandfather taught boxing at the Cronk Gym in Detroit, I met Hitman when I was 7 or 8) I had some high hopes for this and TNGC and I really have felt fairly let down.

I was a little disappointed in how they showed the fight. I was hoping that they would just show the whole thing instead of the cheesy slow motion + sound effects that they did. Still, I didn't actually watch the whole show, just tuned in to the last 1/3 of it to see who was fighting and why. Gomez (I think that was his name) really took it to Manfredo, and certainly deserved to win.

According to Jay Bilas the RPI is not factored in when the Selection Committee picks the teams for the tournament.

I'm not exactly sure how this = me saying Troy Brown is a "me" player. I have NEVER said that. I don't think that at all. What I do think is that he's a little pussy for bitching about it. Back in the day everyone played both ways, and on special teams, and got their own water, and taped themselves up (with Sears catalogs on their shins). Oh boo fucking hoo, you had to play some defense, quit whining.

I AM AN EFF BEE EYE AGENT!

You're missing the point but whatever... I really enjoy going to minor league baseball games. I love baseball, especially live, my ONLY gripe with the MLB is the length of the season. Personally I think that given today's instant gratification society that the MLB would be better off with a shorter season where the payoff isn't so far off.

You mean the guy who said (after the season) that he didn't want to play both ways and hated doing so?

No one is comparing a football season to a sprint, the comparison is a football season to a baseball season put in different terms. A is to B as C is to D not A is to C as B is to D Where: A = football season B = Baseball season C = Sprint D = Marathon

I just usually pick it up with about 40 games left in the season
