Tito Ortiz vs Forrest Griffin headlines the big event in California at the Arrowhead Pond and the bottom line is the fans in California have spoken- UFC 59 in Anaheim has already sold out!! Remember the fastest selling UFC ever was UFC 57 this past weekend which sold out in five weeks. UFC 59 sold out in less than five days. That’s right if you are keeping track at home the single tickets you may or may not be able to buy as of this column, actually sold out in THREE DAYS. From five weeks to three days is mind boggling. - MMAWeekly via Thefightnetwork

It also doesn't help that the person in charge of creative is Dusty Rhodes... oh wait... that's not Dusty Rhodes??? Oh my... that blonde hair does her no favours...

They were bad threads. The Kanyon thread was bad for several reasons, and the Masters/Benoit thread was obvious trolling. To even start discussing those topics would be validating them and the people making them and encouraging them to make more bad threads. Taking it off topic says that those kind of threads aren't going to be discussed here, so don't even bother making them, because you won't get the responses you're looking for, you'll get talk about soup and crackers.

I dig V-8, but I gotta pepper that shit down first. I just saw that Campbells has a "Pizza" variety of soup. PIZZA?! AS A SOUP? How the fuck does that work?

NO! I had to quickly chug the rest of the soup left in the cup because it was starting to cool a lil too much for my likins, so I had to get while the goin was good, so to speak. I am... satisifed. My post meal snack is some Generic Dill Pickle Pingle rip-offs and the rest of this diet coke. All-in-all, pretty much everything complimented each other very well. The carbonation in the coke made me burp and the flavour of dill and tomato soup merged... and it was good.

I used to have a love-affair with Chunky soups during grade 9 in HS. I even wrote something about Chunky Chicken Corn Chowder for grade 9 French (which, IIRC, I got a very good mark on.) But then I sorta got tired of it. Constantly microwaving it in a bowl rather than doin it stove top, I think, hurt it a lot. But there is something to be said about not cleaning dishes afterwards. It's easier, for one thing.

And it was a turkey sandwhich, on white bread. Bit of a blasphemy there becuase I like my turkey on whole grain bread - for some reason they compliment each other better. Soups are made for dipping things into. In particular, grilled cheese sandwiches. Grated cheese atop the soup? That's... that's insane... I might have to try that one of these days. Ritz is mighty fine for pepperoni (Sa-la-mee?) and cheese, esp. if you put it in the 'wave for a few seconds to let the cheese melt a bit (but not too much).

To be perfectly honest, I decided to have the soup to compliment a sandwhich that I made yesterday but didn't end up eating (obviously I did end up eating it, just not at the time that I made it). There are NO crackers in the house. The packet of 2 that I ate yesterday were the last ones in the house.

It's one of those "soups to go", where all you have to do is put it in the microwave and drink (so, like, you can take it in the car and put it in the cup holder and sip, rather than using a spoon). I think it's Campbells. It doesn't taste like tomato soup, it's more like the taste of the sauce in, say, alphaghetti. It's still good, it coats pretty much everything it touches and I don't usually have hot drinks, not a big coffee fan, so it's a change of pace.

I should say, the soup was in a cup... not me in particular. I am drinking the soup from the cup, sitting down. I am sitting down, not the cup. Do cups sit?

So I just had some tomato soup... in a cup...

I enjoyed it; good, straight-forward, analysis and I liked the pacing and structure of it. I thought the opening was a lil cold, though and a little too straight-forward. There's nothing wrong with a lil hyperbole, and being too cool for school isn't always the most effective way to make someone interested in what you are going to say. "This is a pivotal card for the UFC. Obviously, it features their most popular match-up in Chuck Liddell vs. Randy Couture. This is needed to draw a lot of people into buying the show. However this fight is probably the last one between these two, and I don’t see it really changing the face of the UFC much." I mean, OUCH.

I think they have two tiers of pricing. $40 for the big shows like Couture/Liddell and $35 for regular shows. Not 100% sure on that, though.

And as a sidebar, Rolo icecream is very dangerous. Rolos themselves are a lil too intense for me in you can't really control the flow of caramel once you bit into it. I prefer Caramilk bars, there's a lil less caramel in it and it's more milk-chocolately... and even then, I prefer them frozen.

It's indicative of this culture of big-government and the corporatization of our lives and society and how "the man" is so goddamn controlling and worried about the bottom line that he cannot trust our decision making powers and forces us to eat two crackers at a time. They don't know the struggle. Sure, there's freedom of choice... but it's THEIR choices we're choosin from.

Cornbread is the ideal bread to eat Chili with. But that's a luxury few can afford...

I think it's too much cheese and not enough cracker. It takes a lot of strategy in finding the cracker to cheese ratio so you don't end up having to eat the extra cheese using your finger, and then having your finger smell like cheese for a while. I disagree. I find that there's not enough cheese, which forces you to ration out the cheese on the crackers, and in the end, you have left over cheese because you were too conservative. I can't say you're totally wrong here. It depends on how you spread it across the cracker and if you're using that lil red stick-thing or if you are just dipping it in the cheese.

To piggyback off the Chili-issue. Very few things are better than some beans and homemade bread with some mofuckinlasses. Oh shit, I got off-topic here. The taste of the crackers is still in my mouth and there are a bunch of crumbs around me. Let that be a lesson to you all about the consequences of opening a pack of crackers - they might just be crushed enough to spill all over you.

Chili calls for the big guns. You bread that shit down.

I remember when I was a kid, like 5 or 6, and I saw my dad crush several crackers in his hand, and I was like "Holy shit, my dads a fucking monster-machine. Look at the power". Times have changed, I've grown up a bit and can crush crackers in my own hand, but I still look back on that moment and smile and think about how once upon a time, my dad was one strong dude. Still is. God, I never expected to get so emotional...

Well I guess it's all relative and based more on opinion and taste. 2 crackers might be enough for some people, but when I am having soup, I have upwards to 20 crackers in it... not all at once though, that's crazy. I mean, initally, you throw a few crackers in and let it soak for a bit, then eat the cracker as the soup cools. Then maybe at the end do you overload it with crackers so you can get a more solid base to it.

I was never really a Ritz fan. I dunno why, they're just so fucking greasy and they just didn't go well in soup like saltines do. They didn't have the same crumble-factor. But I recall eating a dessert that used ritz in it and it was quite good, which caused me to reevaluate my stance on em.

I think it's too much cheese and not enough cracker. It takes a lot of strategy in finding the cracker to cheese ratio so you don't end up having to eat the extra cheese using your finger, and then having your finger smell like cheese for a while.

I just ate the crackers. I didn't really have a cracker craving and wasn't that hungry, but I put so much thought into it that I just had to know what crackers tasted like. That's a life lesson for you all. There's "Stopping to smell the roses" and there's "Quit thinking about it and start tasting it"... but don't do it without a glass of water or something. Very dry. God, it's taking forever to move down my throat. Why didn't I prepare for this??
