I don't see the problem with those ads. I never noticed them before this thread. They're acceptable, unlike popups.

Ender's Game is a damn good book. Too bad Card has lived in its shadow ever since then, always trying to recreate the magic he somehow hit the first time.

Yeah! FIND THAT! ...cuz I never read it, it was during one of my "no computer, gotta go to the friggin' library" periods. I miss Sandman. I miss a lot of the people who used to post here.

Sorry, I only have a limited selection of Waits' stuff and I was in a really altered state last night, so I take back that comment.

Breakups suck. Always. My condolences, man. If I can do anything, well, y'know.

Smart move, and a win-win situation for everybody involved.

I think he should be let back in. I keep forgetting what he did to get banned in the first place, so it obviously wasn't that bad an offense. He kept coming back? So? He loved this board and couldn't stay away. He's not a troll. Let the poor guy come back to the board he put so much into.

Oh god yeah. If I were stricken with a disease for which there no cure, and was an old old man on top of that, please do fill my body up with as many drugs as possible.

Ilyria is the anti-Willow. She would counteract anything Willow brought to the table.

I don't know if there is an afterlife, and the thought of dying scares the shit out of me, but I face it with a grim, reluctant, stoic resolve because I know that my death is inevitable. That's all I got.

When I Have Money I really need to spend some of it on some quality rap albums, as my education has been woefully lacking in that department. I heard some new Backstreet Boys song on the radio today that actually didn't suck. It sounded more like Coldplay than any of their previous boyband crap. Can't remember the name of it for the life of me.

I'd like to take part in this... if I had the necessary computer hardware. Damn my po' folks ass.

It's mostly because God blessed Maynard with one of the more beautiful singing voices of any male rocker. And his talent too. One of my ex-GFs, the crazy one, is possibly the most brilliant musician I have ever known in terms of musical theory. And her favorite band is Tool. That right there gets them my respect.

The Fragile? Meh. Personally, I think Reznor is yet another case of an artist blowing their wad too early. He used up all his best ideas in his early work, and then sat around thinking "okay, NOW what the fuck do I do?" for the rest of his career. Sorta like Tori Amos, Tom Waits, Elvis, etc etc etc.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! This is one of three things: 1. drug problem 2. artistic fear of being put under so much pressure to produce for the 3rd season 3. something we don't know about, like some close relative died & he's depressed, or he accidentally cut off one of his balls while shaving them, or some other stupid thing like that. And godDAMNit why do they keep pushing back the DVD release date? If they do it for too long, everyone will forget about the fucking show and the sales will suck.

I dunno about that Anyanka, but I like you too much to argue with you about your favorite obsession. Okay, if we're gonna do this fanboy Wargames thing, it really needs some concrete rules.

I don't get all the virulent hate here. Yeah, it's probably gonna be a crass grab for money based off the appeal for the original, but so what? 3 reasons you guys really shouldn't be so mad: 1. It's being written and directed by the same guy who did the original movie. He invented it, he can do whatever the hell he wants with it, and I'd much rather have him doing a sequel to it than anyone else. Plus, thank god James Earl Jones is still alive so he could star in it. 2. It's fucking Hollywood. Why should you be surprised or offended by anything they do by now? 3. Even if this turns out to be the gheyest sequel since Aliens vs. Predator, it still doesn't change the fact that the first Sandlot was a damn good movie.

The best argument for legalization is that there is much evidence to suggest that marijuana is less harmful and more beneficial than the already legal drug of alcohol. (It's all in the wording, people. Learn how to manipulate language, and you can manipulate the world.)

Czech, you gotta lighten up man, and learn to recognize sarcasm when you see it.

Excellent point. Depending on how they look, a terrorist could claim to be any number of different races. Indian, South American, Italian, whatever. Something to think about. Yeah, but like Mike said, the vast majority of terrorist acts in the US have been caused by Arabian men, so it's only common sense that we have to make watching that subgroup our first priority in terms of security.

Exactly. (Gotta give props to an old-school OAOASTer.) Evolution should get the lion's share of teaching time because it has much more evidence behind it, and if they want to throw in Creationism as a footnote, well that's fine with me. But they shouldn't be treated as having equal scientific merit.

I usually get no-sold in CE, so I viciously continue the cycle on others whenever possible. Funny how nobody else gets this. I do get it. But you didn't say "What if Bush was behind it?" You said "I believe Bush might've been behind it". There's a world of difference between the two statements. Oh, it took me for-goddamn-ever to find it, but here is the conspiracy thread I mentioned. And here's another one I forgot about.

Country has just been the genre which has been hardest hit recently by corporate greed and lack of executive understanding for the artform. Living in Nashville, I heard all kinds of bitching about Music Row's companies on a daily basis.

She sure as hell needs a different outfit. I think I've seen at least three other valets wear the exact same stuff, that's clear gimmick stealing.

It does have a kinda Con Air vibe, don't it?
