THING IS, some people *coughAlGorecough* are trying to use this to "spur a discussion" and advance an agenda. Using a likely bad movie (disaster movies seldom are good) with embarrassingly weak science as a political tool is only going to generate a backlash. Heck, the borderline psychotic Art Bell LOVES it. -=Mike I saw that and couldn't believe it. It was just so mind-numbingly idiotic. "Well.....this movie is a complete work of fiction, mind you......But President Bush's environmental policies are so horrendous that something like this could happen one day!" Dear Lord, give me strength.

I stand corrected. Odd, I thought he trashed that film (Just did an Ebert search and he gave it a few stars...) That's not my favorite part of that scene. It's the part where the director focuses on their dog - will the dog make it to safety, or will he perish in the fire?! The drama! Of course, while the focus is on the dog, they're conveniently neglecting the dozens of HUMAN BEINGS who are turning into man-flavored bacon. But hey - the dog came out okay.

Alright then, will this game be more focused on the ACTION part of the "action RPG" (as with, say, the LOTR games, like Two Towers) or will it focus more on the RPG aspect (say like with Kingdom Hearts)?

I'm sorry, I'm still struggling through this - exactly WHAT is the "action RPG" genre? If you could point me to a game I'd know as an example, I'd appreciate it.

Perhaps they're referring to his son. I think he actually has more than one in the wrestling business. Carlos Jr. (Carly, the one with the WWE contract) and another one (although I may be wrong). The WWE, it should be noted, does it a few times each year as well. In this case, it makes sense - if they're starting a new program that is designed to pull in new viewers, it would be advantageous to begin fresh storylines rather than focus heavily on past ones that new viewers wouldn't as readily connect with. Ironically, Fairplay has more legitimate name recognition than Jarrett. ........can we make him champion?

At my law school today (which has a rather sizable African-American population), it was about a 50-50 split. Most of the young males (whom, presumably, Cosby's remarks were directed towards) disagreed with Bill, most everyone else agreed with his remarks.

Getting away from the religion stuff, and turning to the heart of the thread: If true, it's nothing new. It's been a dirty rumor for YEARS that many of the women who are stationed on ships often come back pregnant or are raped while in the service.

Hey, now, I like Julie. I was totally on her side. Coral's a fucking cunt.

Lawler's homosexual attraction to Orton is becoming more disturbing each and every week.

The fact that you know the words to the Cobra anthem makes me fall in love with you a little.

I've had no less than two of these things somehow crawl down INSIDE my shirt when I was wearing it. Which isn't as bad as it sounds, until I turn my head the wrong way, and hear the little bastards cry out in anger. Yes, I've found out that they cry out. It's not the mating call - it's some sort of bizarre high-pitched buzz / whine of anger & frustration that actually manages to make them even LESS likable.

Source, please.

But liberals don't care about that. Which was what MikeSC pointed out, if anyone merely took the time to read his post.

Now, now, Mike, I hear that in the Arab world, showing the decapitated head of an infidel up to the camera is a big show of admiration.

McCain is Kerry's boy. Trust me, if Kerry picks him - he'll accept it. Gleefully.

In the last few months, McCain has made a new artform out of talking out of both sides of his ass. It's as simple as that.

No, actually, I'd just beat the shit out of them. Then ask them what the fuck they thought they were doing.

Why should this surprise you? Or ANYONE?

It had better be Kevin Conroy again. He's nailed Batman. Shit - he's done the best acting job of the Batman character out of everyone who's ever portrayed the character, film or television. EDIT: No Conroy? Fuck 'em. I'm less enthusiastic about this now. And I better get none other than Mark Hamill for Joker. Really......honestly, I think the casting on Batman: TAS was generally quite dead on. I don't see a real need to change that much, although Clancy Brown is, as usual, fanfuckingtastic in any voice acting gig he does.

Figures. That looked like the only decent match on the card, too.

You're exactly right. I saw this story on the news this morning - specifically on CNN. Soledad O'Brien seemed interested in discovering what the powder was, but the other tool who co-anchors with her seemed amused by the whole story. Which left me to scream at my tv, "What the fuck is so funny? It could have been fucking anthrax!" No, really, I yelled at the TV. Scared my dog in the process.

Bumped, not because I've read the comics, but because I've recently heard of two zombie novels which I've seen spoken of warmly, and was wondering if anyone has read them and might be able to offer their opinion: "The Rising" by Brian Keene, and "The Dead" by Mark Rogers. I'm interesting in getting some opinions on them; I've read all sorts of horror novels, but I don't think I've ever read one that dealt with zombies a la Dawn of the Dead, etc.

Are you serious? I'm in Arlington, about 5 minutes outside DC, and I've yet to see or hear a single one. Head over a few miles into Falls Church. They were so loud today that they literally sounded like a siren going off.

"What's that, Dad?" "Why, son, that's Venus. But what it's doing so close to the ground...." Jesus Christ - it's an old hack joke, but I'll use it: if the camera adds 10 pounds, then exactly how many fucking cameras are on the two of them?!?!?!

Are cicadas tame --- or just REALLY dumb? -=Mike Dumb. Good lord, they're dumb. They can't even fucking FLY correctly - they just sort of bumble around aimlessly until they fly into something, fall on their back, and just lay there until something comes along and eats them. But these things are fucking EVERYWHERE here in Northern VA, right outside of D.C. All day long, you can HEAR them - this odd, high-pitched whine which is, I suppose, their mating call, which sounds oddly like the weird noise the giant ants made in the film "Them!" It's only going to get worse, too, as they're about to enter into their most disgusting stage soon - dying by the thousands. The streets in my neighborhood are already littered with their brittle corpses.
