Your engineering friend probably didn't get a free-ride to college. The free ride doesnt really mean much to the Reggie Bush/Michael Beasley/etcetera type athletes, but I'd say it's fair compensation for most. I just don't think you'll ever be able to pay athletes - where does it stop? Do swimmers get paid? Shotputters? Field hockey players? Is $10 an hour going to dissuade anyone from taking $500 in an envelope from a booster? $10,000 from an agent?

Hahaha, I kept thinking Lebowski, too. Great fucking movie. Downey is my favorite actor.

Sometimes* that Fiona Apple video gives me an erection. *Everytime

HAHA YOUR UNIQUE BRAND OF HUMOR IS REFRESHING AND UNIQUE HAHAHA

He wears it to veterans events.

I don't know about that. And marriage has practical applications in the government sphere, especially for tax purposes. It's not gonna go away, despite how hard Joni Mitchell fights it. Oh yeah? How does homosexuality threaten Christianity? Try and avoid the hyperbolic "Well if everyone was gay, then there wouldn't be any more people, and then there wouldn't be any more Christians" argument, not that I'm saying you were thinking about it... just in case. And I agree, marriage has practical applications, did you read my original post? That's why we keep those practical applications and give it a new name. I know it's just semantics, but semantics is actually a big part of the problem in this case.

I've been going to gay weddings for years! I went and saw a couple of lesbians get married when I was eight or nine, long before they had legalized gay marriage (essentially) in Oregon. So... gay marriage has been happening for at least 15 years. Is Christianity okay? Yes it is. It's doing just fine. Homosexuality poses no threat to Christianity (or any other religion.) Since when does a major religion need the United States government to justify it? Christianity's assault on homosexuals is ridiculous. I honestly believe gay marriage has about as much to do with religion as the very soil of Gettysburg had to do with the ideological struggles of the Civil War. Gay marriage isn't "Why" the battle, gay marriage is "Where" the battle, if that makes sense. Honestly, why would someone care about this small section of levitical law? That said, there are issues here (duh.) Gay people aren't really being discriminated againt. They're free to marry, just like straight people are. They just can't marry each other. Elton John could marry Melissa Ethridge, for example. So... gay marriage isn't legal, it isn't illegal, it just sort of "isn't." What needs to happen, in my opinion, is the abolishment of marriage from government. Let marriage continue to be something that people do in churches, or backyards, or Niagara Falls (slowly I turned) and then have the people go to the government for a civil union. Have the civil union carry all the legal weight that marriages carry now, but let certain Christians continue to pretend that they invented marriage and own the idea.

Ok, I guess only czech can post seeqpod playlists, here's the url. Eargasms

So that's six of us, plus nogoodnic from the board is in, plus a real-life buddy of mine. We should try and get Ripper, and if anyone else wants to invite some folks, feel free. I'll set up the league tonight What's the consensus on fantasy draft? Do we want it?

I'm really liking The Man in Black's list.

Conversely... if I somehow worked out a deal where if I let Anthony Parker fuck me, I'd get to kill Damaramu... Just saying... somebody buy some Bacardi 151 and get Anthony Parker on the horn.

Well we know who's going to have the most HOMOPHOBIC team!

SEEKING CONTRACT WITH SMARTMARKS FC! FROM THE MAN WHO BROUGHT YOU HOJI SAVAGEBONES AND TUGBOAT JONES! Wayne "Beef" Wellington - a big linebacker who has ALREADY reached level 4! Handsome as an opium den! "Meanderin'" Morty Horowitz - a 6'2" wide receiver! Speed! Hands! Semitic name! The whole package! Give 'em a contract, boss

It didnt occur to me to shoot the pigeons for the longest time... I'd just sort of jump on them like an Eastern European Mario, and then - having accomplished nothing - go on my way.

Ahh, I was going to make a skill player, but I'll stick with defense and give Hoji a back up or something. So... coming tomorrow... another LB, 2 more levels for Tugboat Jones, and maybe a wide-out, too. Names forthcoming.

Goddamn you're a curmudgeon.

Ditto. If this was last year, he would've been gone by round 3. Actually, I think I know who you're thinking of here, and if I'm right, then we have different guys in mind. I KNOW one of the guys you're all referring to, but the other? You got me.

I want to go drinking with Chuck Daly and Don Nelson

Haha, are those Reebok Pumps?

I loved "No regard for human life!" I've been using it all day. Registered a script at the WGA today, and used it on the clerk, he got really serious... like I accused him of something.

Brazilians have lots of odd names for their kids. They like names that end in -er, or -son alot. Lots of famous American president surnames are common as a name too, Lincoln, Washington, Wilson, Kennedy. I've noticed that! And "Andersen." What's the deal with that? And just to keep this in-topic... WHEN WILL YOU PEOPLE GET SMART AND DRAFT BISON DELE?

Did you guys know Nene's real first name is Maybyner? Weird.

Actually, Alf, Bryant "Big Country" Reeves has been retired since '01. Everything really did change in '01
