They look like old New Jersey uniforms. I actually like the Penny in Miami deal. No reason he shouldn't be able to outplay smush parker and Jason Williams for the starting position at the point honestly. It is still sad to see what he and Grant Hill did to themselves though. If you are injured, playoffs or not, you have got to just sit down and call it a year. One playoff series for both of them and it destroyed their entire careers.

Its to the point that I am feel really sorry for Brit. Its not like Lohan who I developed a crush on for being so fucked up. Brit has genuinely been driven insane by the media and paparazzi. She is threatening to kill people, tell guys to back their fat ass up, beating up cars with umbrellas...just gone. And its understandable because they really have been fucking with this girl non stop for the past 10 years. BRITNEY IS A HORRIBLE MOTHER; ALMOST DROPS BABY!!!!!!(while tripping over 9 of our photographers that wouldn't move out the way) That wouldjust put you in a genuinely pissed off mood all the time. Well, she went a step past pissed off and went nuts.

Read Ball Four sometime. Guys ate greenies like candy back in those days. Getting on Hank for trying them once (allegedly) is a little silly IMO. I was going to say that as well. While they are dangerous, and highly destructive when taken for prolonged periods and in mass quanities, (not to mention illegal narcotics) there is no similarity between them and steroids. Greenies, speed, whatever you want to call them are a much more potent form of caffeine and something to take to improve your awarness and keep you sharp during the long season. Thats why entertainers took them as well because they were doing over 200 shows a year, and sometimes doubling up certain dates. So there is no equating them with someone trying to improve their skills or gain muscle mass with the use of steriods or HGH. Jesus. Greenies would give you increased stamina and physical energy. Steroids give you increased stamina and physical energy with the added benifit of making muscle fibers heal more quickly. You don't take steroids and get strong. You take steroids and it allows you to do some crazy intense workouts for long periods of time (increased stamina and physical energy by the way). When you workout, the muscle fibers have to heal in order to get the best results. Usually this is you waiting until the soreness is gone to work out the same muscle group again, but on steroids, the muscle fibers heal faster allowing you to work out again faster. Greenies would give you similar effects minus you feeling sore in less time. Increased stamina and physical energy towards the middle of the season when your body starts getting fatigued is very much a performance enhancer. And why do people think Aaron took greenies? Because he would have been a minority among baseball players in his time if he didn't. The majority of the players took them (some estimates say 75% of them took the REGULARLY) in that time period. The reason you don't hear accusations about Aaron is that by the time Greenies were seen as a bad thing and banned (some, what, 30+ years later) Aaron was already a beloved national hero. No one was going to go back and point anything like that out. And like I said, if 75% of the league was using them then, who gives a fuck. They weren't doing what Aaron was doing so it wouldn't diminish his greatness in my eyes. Same with Bonds. Unless you truely believe tha the was one of the FEW guys taking something back when it wasn't against the rules to get an edge, then you have to know that yes, drugged up Bonds was playing against drugged up players and was doing what no one else was doing. As for Aaron and the video, back when everyone figured it would be Ken Griffey Jr. to catch his total, he gave an interview where he said he wouldn't be there when it happened because he wouldn't be traveling around waiting for the last home run and that the guy that broke it should have his moment because he already had his. The press pretending that he didn't show up as a slight to Bonds are just being misleading...as always.

It is 70's themed. There will be lots of alcohol. There will be a stripper. I will post pictures. Of people with afro wigs and 70s garb.

Yeah, you are. Games will continue to look better and better honestly. Thats pretty much always the case. The hardware use never really peaks out on any system honestly.

I would do that but the big one is so fucking stubborn. We once changed food bowls, and he didn't like that so he didn't eat for almost two days. He would walk over, look at the bowl and walk off. We finally changed it back and he started eating again. He was just as stubborn when we tried to feed him at a certain time. So we just got them both a formula for overweight and lethargic cats. They are full of energy but nothing about either of their weights are changing.

by adding decent players at the vet mininmum. As it stands they have a decent rotation of: Garnett Allen Pierce Rondo Tony Allen(big maybe here) Eddie House Scot Pollard Kendrik Perkins Brian Scalabrine I also like Leon Powe and Glen Davis. So they aren't exactly going to set the world with their bench, but they have some talent there.

The booking just made no sense. Morrison standing around pointing at the clock to mess with CM punks head (and grabbing his head and making him look at the clock), Morrison using rest holds to keep Punk grounded instead of his usual offense, Tazz and Joey saying it was a survive or get the win match, then saying Punk should hurry up and get the pin before the time ran out...it just made no sense. It should have been Punk had 15 minutes to beat Morrison, although that is stupid too. he is the champion. They shouldn't be able to beat him at all. Just didn't make the slightest bit of sense.
-
Completely agree. If you didn't pay extra for it. The people that hate it did. And you can't blame them. It was touted as the next big thing from Microsoft. It ended up being pretty XP.

We'll see once they start spraying all over the place. Regulate their feedings or else they're going to get real fat real quick. They are two and a half now. Haven't sprayed yet. is it going to start at some point past that? And their feedings are regulated. The one that eats the most is skinney, the one that never eats is big. I can't explain it. I tried the taking up bowls thing, but the bigger one only likes to eat like two bites and leaves while the little one would just eat his whole bowl and start moving towards the other. And he is still tiny (he was the runt of the litter though). The vet said they should eat half a cup each twice a day so that is what we have been doing.

Eh. I don't see any team that you can say would definately beat them in the west. Or the east. And you can't say they would definately beat any team in the East or the west. But the point is they have 3 levels of tough to defend players and a great defensive point guard. Fill that hole of defense at the center position and you have a team that can matchup well with ANYONE.

And I will repeat: I see it like this. Bonds broke the record when he had some years where he PROBABLY was on something and hitting against pitchers who were also PROBABLY on something. He broke the record of a guy that played when taking greenies were second nature and most of the major leaguers took them. That guy beat the record of a guy who PROBABLY corked his bat for quite a while. All are accusations, none have been proven. Bonds said he took the two steroids, didn't know what they were and stopped taking them quickly. So while yes, you do have Bonds saying he took steroids, it doesn't suggest that his HRs came as a result of them or that he took them long enough to see substantial results. According to him. Thats it. The accusations against bonds are just as solid as the ones that Aaron took amphetamines, and that Ruth corked his bat(alot). The federal goverment can't prove that Bonds lied on the stand, so I honestly don't see how you can be so 100% on it(I can see about 98% though). No it doesn't mean you HAVE to celebrate the accomplishment. You didn't have to celebrate Aarons if you were around then either. I don't think anyone is telling you that you should.

I think there is a little too much piling on to Boston here. They are over the cap. The can sign as many vets to the vets minimum as they want. That has to be their target for players right now.
-
Miller was effective catching the ball in rhythm off of screens and killing people from deep. he has never been a great spot up shooter like Ray Allen can be. The Celtics, if they work a inside out attack, would be better served kicking the tires on Allan Houston if they want retired shooter.
-
I said he probably did, but once again, there is no PROOF that he did outside of guess work.
-
1. There's no might. He did. That's it. There's no ambiguity here. 2. It was against federal law, which supersedes baseball policy. Not to nick pick, but he never failed a drug test so there is no PROOF that he actually did anything more than what he said. Did he? of course, but you can't remove the "might" because you want to. And you know, alot of the substances on the Baseball banned substances list are not against federal law. In fact, most of them aren't. I see it like this Bonds broke the record when he had some years where he PROBABLY was on something and hitting against pitchers who were also PROBABLY on something. he broke the record of a guy that played when taking greenies were second nature and most of the major leaguers took them. That guy beat the record of a guy who PROBABLY corked his bat for quite a while. But the point is, alot of people corked their bat, and didn't come close to babes number. Alot of people took greenies and didn't come close to Aarons number. Alot of guys took various steroids and didn't come close to what Bonds has done. All three did something monumental, like it or not.

Mine was doing this too. It was annoying as fuck. http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9...1bd/msicuu2.exe Install that, run it, and remove all of the Norton or Symantec references, reboot and you are good to go.

I think people underestimate a eyecatching UI though. I don't think anyone would complain if XP looked better, and Vista gave you that. And pretty much nothing else.

Well it was surreal moment for me and I don't even give a shit about baseball. I just freakishly happened to turn to the channel right before it happened. We are talking about what could be a once in a lifetime moment there and the fact that he might have taken something back when it wasn't against the rules for him to take it didn't take away from that for me.
-
Okay...maybe I am exaggerating. It seems like I am buying a bag a month. I don't know. I feed them both a cup of day so two cups is 16oz X 30 is 480 oz a month...or something.
-
Actually, it was a baby daddy joke becaue Ripper likes women with kids. So I guess you really didn't see that one coming. Don't worry, I'll make a welfare joke next time. Just for you. Ripper, what kind of food are you feeding them? $25/month seems a bit high for two cats on regular retail brands (Friskies/etc.), so I'm guessing you're giving them somewhat decent kibble. And you also better be taking them to the vet for their shots and ball-choppings. No, my boys still have their balls, but they do get taken for their shots. I get one bag of Maxcat gourmet classics for indoor cats, and that last just over a month. Then I get them some cans of wet food for a treat every once and a while. That comes close to about 25 a month I guess.

oh you suck. Young guy. Well...at least I am younger than old ass kkk

Alot of graphic programs don't work for me. And plugins for said graphic programs. I dont know how it would hinder the normal computer user, but it gave me hell and some stuff was downright unusable. Don't get me wrong, its better than XP if for no other reason the UI is pretty as hell, but does that cost justify a prettier UI? Then again, people buy macs because they are prettier.

No credit is bad credit.

Because getting shot is fun.
