St Pierre~! That's awesome. Him vs. Hughes is the money. -
The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread
RavishingRickRudo replied to Steve J. Rogers's topic in Brandon Truitt
Everything involved in that is messed up. Her kissing Beast, his weaksauce death, being pregnant with Connor's child. She has no credibility as avillain. Evil Cordy is the reason why Season 5 Angel is better than Season 4 and there is no question about it. Had they had The Beast at Jasmines side, and Jasmine come in a few episodes earlier - that would have been fucking AWESOME. Cave Buffy isn't so bad compared to other things. Anya dying, Xander losing an eye and buffy being kicked out is officially the worst things ever in the Buffyverse. Ok, the WORST thing before Evil Cordy is Rona. But Cave Buffy and Buffy getting kicked out of her house are 2 and 3. Anya dying sucked as did Eyeless Xander, but I don't think that would make my top 10 of suckage. Doublemeat Palace? That makes it. I'll post a couple scenes soon. I got the 4200th post my bitches. YAAAAAAAAAY!!! ... for the scenes, not your irrelevant title as Mr. 4:20-0 4201~! -

UFC and Alcohol just makes sense - how else can you explain the appeal of Tank Abbott. Infact, they should have a fight where both guys get drunk-as-hell and then go at it in the octagon. -

ugh, Cordy ordering Beast around is so lame. YOU DAMN FUCKING RIGHT!!!!! It's the worst thing EVER in the Buffyverse. EVER. Worse than Drunk Caveman Buffy. WORSE THAN DRUNK CAVEMAN BUFFY! That's bad. -

LOL that's typical UFC! Joe Rogan: Hey Cindy, who do you think will win Shamrock or Kimo? Cindy: Uhhh... Kimo? Joe Rogan: You heard it here, Cindy Crawford - star of Fair Game - is picking Kimo! *Michael Clarke Duncan walks by* Joe: Hey look, it's Michael Clarke Duncan! Who do you think will win? MCD: Tito! He's my boy! Joe: Tito isn't fighting. MCD: Shamrock? Joe: Yeah, he's fighting. MCD: Then him. *Shaq walks by* ... They're shameless. -

Interesting to know... I had Baroni as my prediction though I should have went with my gut in Tanner Bushido III is fucking rocking right now, so instead of the UFC review I'll do a Bushido review. You can dl it on Suprnova, its about 1.7 Gb. But every fight thus far have been great. -

Verissimo should have won it - just to spice up the welterweight division. -

Anyone else want to have Brian write up scripts for the spin off? You can't just give us a taste when we need a meal -

Ok, nix the UFC Review, the sports bar wasn't showing it. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *watches Bushido III instead* -
I loved it. It was the bastard child of Office Space, Zoolander and Old School - cept not as good. Plus it had ALAN FUCKING TUDYK in it as Steve the Pirate and in the end Washes it up~! YEAH!!! I laughed at a good deal of the jokes -cept it suffered from the same thing Zoolander did, and that's a lot of duds as well- but the best part was I was laughing hysterically at the same stuff a 8 year old kid behind me was laughing at. That rules.

MMAWeekly: So, you wrestled in college for a short time? Quinton: Say what? MMAWeekly: Did you wrestle in college for a short time? Quinton: Yeah, Junior college. I didn't start, I was a scrub. They f#%ked me up. I don't even want to say what they did to me. That college f#%ked me over man. MMAWeekly: What school was it? Quinton: I don't even want to say man. It was pretty bad what they did to me. I got injured and shit. I got injured in training and them motherf#%kers just told me, ah, if it hurts later on, go to the emergency room. It did, I woke up screaming man, at three O'Clock in the f#%king morning man, cause I knew that the body part that I injured and the motherf#%kers, they do shit. I was in a little small town and I needed an MRI and the motherf#%kers wouldn't take me to get an MRI. Then, the motherf#%kers had the nerve to send me the doctor's bill to my momma's house. What kind of shit is that? MMAWeekly: Wow, that's no good man. So, you get into fighting and the rest is history man. You're are one of the best fighters at 205. It's a great, it's an amazing story and a great one none the less. So Rampage, how has training been going man? Quinton: Training has been going pretty good man. I've been training my ass off. Every thing's for the fans man. If there wasn't any fans, there wouldn't be a sport, so f#%k it. MMAWeekly: So here you are, you've got all these things going on and you're giving out a phone number for fans to call you. What's up with that? Quinton: Man, I just figured, if you're a fan, why can you not be a friend. I meet all the fans when I got to the UFC. It's the only time I get to meet the American fans. You know, cause I'm always dealing with the Japanese fans. I can't talk to their motherf#%ing ass. I know a little Japanese but I don't know enough to talk to their motherf#%ing ass. So, you know what I'm saying, I just wanted to talk to some fans. I see them at the UFC when I go to the UFC and when I got to King of the Cage and all them shows. I see them but it's the only chance I get to see the American fans. Most of them are pretty cool, you know what I'm saying. I was like f#%k, I'll give them my phone number and let them be my friend, cause if you're a fan, you're a friend. That's how I think. I don't know why other people don't think that way but, they like you because they like what you're are ding and shit. I know a lot of people have a lot of questions they want to ask me. A lot of people don't know about the sport. They're in the sport but they want to know stuff about training. They don't even know what to do and I can put them on the right step. MMAWeekly: I think it's cool. I just worry that one crazy person will get your number. I think that's the only thing a lot of people worry about. Quinton: What can a crazy person do with my number? What can they do with it? MMAWeekly: I don't know. Quinton: All they can do is play on my motherf#%ing phone. They can't find out where I live from my phone number because it's not even in my name. So far, I have had any crazy people calling me, thank God. But, if somebody crazy does call me, it's cool, you know what I'm saying, like, some people on blocked numbers that call and hang up in my face and shit. It just makes me stop answering blocked calls, so it's going to hurt people trying to call me from over seas. If the number don't show up, I don't answer it because if it doesn't show up and, they're acting crazy, I don't have their motherf#%king phone number. MMAWeekly: No doubt about it, I think some fighters are fan friendly but you've taken it to a new level. On thing that's pretty cool is, on your website, you've got a little raffle ticket, a little contest going on. Tell the fans a little bit about how that is working out. Quinton: Yeah, yeah, I'm going to be 100% straight up with you motherf#%ers now. I wanted to have a contest where somebody could win and be my water boy. I could take somebody that would never have a chance to go to Japan, a fan, you know what I'm saying, and go watch the big show because ya'll have no idea how big it is in Japan. American fans have no idea. I want to take whoever wins the contest, they could be my water boy, they could go to Japan with me and hang out with me and go to the fight and walk me down to the ring and be my water boy. I was going to get it all set up and was telling my friend that does my website and he got so excited, he just put it up now without thinking everything through. But, he said he's keeping track of everybody who's buying stuff. He's writing it down and they get some type of number when they buy something. I told him that it would be cool if he sent a raffle ticket with their stuff too, but the guy who does my site, he's a friend and stuff too, he said he's keeping track of everybody that's ordering stuff and who ever wins gets to be my water boy. MMAWeekly: So, bottom line is, they buy something on the site, www.rampagejackson.com, and they'll get a kind of raffle ticket right? Quinton: Yeah, I wanted him to send the people the raffle ticket but he said everybody that buys something, they have to have an order number anyway so, he said he writes it down in his book. So, even if you guys don't get a raffle ticket sent to your house, he has the number for you guys. MMAWeekly: Yeah, they get an order number and I'm sure he's keeping track of the order numbers. Quinton: I don't do any of that stuff. You know me, I'm a fighter. I don't know any business. I don't know shit man. I barely know how to check my email. MMAWeekly: [laughs] That's very cool. I think that's a great thing. You've got to be the most fan friendly fighter my man. I'm telling you, with all the stuff you've got going on, that's very cool, no doubt about it. Let's talk about this fight with Arona. Tell me about it. We talked months ago when you were in the Grand Prix, when you were supposed to fight Arona the first time. Bustamante, of coarse stepped up to the plate. You knew a lot about Arona back then, what's different between when you were training for him months ago for the Grand Prix to now? What's the difference or is there anything different? Quinton: Yeah, it is different. I have a different strategy now, you know what I'm saying. At first I had another strategy and coach and I, we always make strategies for the people we fight. This time, I have a different strategy for Arona, which is weird, you know because we haven't even fought. MMAWeekly: What is different then? I mean, why change strategies from now compared to then? Quinton: Because it is a better strategy. If I could pull it off you know. Cause you know there are different ways of fighting. I haven't fought in a while. You know I broke my hand and I needed a warm up fight but doesn't look like I'm going to get one so, but I broke my hand. The hand is good and stuff but I just have to fight different, fight smarter. MMAWeekly: With that said, people have been talking a little bit about your training. No Tito Ortiz this time around, how come? Quinton: Do what, no Tito Ortiz, what? MMAWeekly: For training, how come Tito hasn't been training with you? Quinton: Shit, I don't know. He trains with me when he has time but most of the time, I train with my teammates and they aren't even professional fighters. MMAWeekly: Do you have any big guys to help you out to get ready for a guy like Arona? Quinton: You don't always need big guys. When you're training, you need big guys, little guys, everybody. You don't always need big guys. I got two guys close to my size. MMAWeekly: OK, you got any predictions for this fight? What do you expect to do in this fight? Quinton: I expect to win the motherf#%king fight. That's all I can say. I ain't going all the way to Japan to lose, f#%k that shit. I have to win this fight. It's on Father's Day and my birthday, so GD, I need to win this fight. MMAWeekly: So, it doesn't matter if it's a KO or a decision? Quinton: I don't want a decision man. I don't want to fight f#%king twenty minutes. I don't want to fight for twenty f#%king minutes. MMAWeekly: People wanted me to ask about women. Quinton: Women, they don't want to know about the women. MMAWeekly: Which is better, American porn or Japanese porn? Quinton: American porn by far. Japanese porn blips out everything, you can't even see pussy or hair, nothing. MMAWeekly: So it's not really porn then. Quinton: Yeah, exactly. MMAWeekly: The ideal woman for Quinton Jackson, what does she look like? Quinton: She's got long black hair, slanted eyes, she barely speaks English. She's got a nice handful of titties and a nice ass. MMAWeekly: She barely speaks English? Quinton: Yeah, I like that. MMAWeekly: So, where would she be from, if that's the case? Quinton: She's got to be from Japan. I'm trying to tell you man, Japanese women are the best women in the world. They do everything for you. They don't let you do shit for yourself. They do everything for you. MMAWeekly: The Asian women work hard basically? Quinton: Asian woman work hard, they're no like American women. American women, they get mad when you ask them to fix you something to eat, you know what I'm saying. Especially black women. They give you an attitude and shit. I dated this one Japanese girl, she got mad when I brushed my own teeth. MMAWeekly: [laughs] So, you're saying that American women are high maintenance? Quinton: F#%k yeah. My Japanese girl used to try and wipe my ass and I was like, woah, woah. That's where I draw the line. I can wipe my own ass. I'm not a baby. [laughs] MMAWeekly: What's your favorite movie? Quinton: F#%k man, ya'll are going to laugh at me if I tell you my favorite movie. GD, you're asking me the hard questions. MMAWeekly: I'm coming hard at you, what's your favorite movie? Quinton: The Last Dragon. MMAWeekly: The Last Dragon? Quinton: [singing] You are the last Dragon... MMAWeekly: I don't think I've seen it, who's in that? Quinton: F#%k man, I don't even know man, ain't no real famous motherf#%kers. You ain't seen The Last Dragon? It's an old movie man. MMAWeekly: What's the premise of the movie? What's the storyline? Quinton: There's a black guy that's a Kung Fu Master. You haven't seen The Last Dragon? You'd like it, you'd laugh. [quoting from the movie] Sho nuff, who's the master? Sho nuff.... You never seen that shit? MMAWeekly: I'm going to have to go rent it now. Quinton: I'm sorry, I forgot, you're white huh? MMAWeekly: Yeah, exactly. What's your favorite food? Quinton: My favorite food. I'm not a favorite person. I don't even like eating that much man. I guess my favorite food is pizza. MMAWeekly: Pizza, do you eat pizza when you train? Quinton: Sometimes, f#%k yeah. When I've got to cut weight and get down to the grind now, I leave all that shit alone. MMAWeekly: So, do you eat anything, I mean, some guys are on a strict diet. Are you on a strict diet when you train? Quinton: Well, I supposed to be. I've go a nutritionist and shit keeping me on a strict diet but, you know what I'm saying, f#%k, everybody's gonna cheat. MMAWeekly: OK, good enough. Your toughest fight ever? Quinton: Yeah cause it surprised the shit out of me. I was training for Arona but then I had to fight that motherf#%ker. It was tough as f#%k on me, you know what I'm saying, cause the people at that level, you need a game plan for them. You've got to have a game plan. If you don't have a game plan, what the f#%k you doing? I was like, damn man, I'm not a bright motherf#%ker but I look like a smart guy when I fight though. MMAWeekly: Talk real quick about what's in your CD player. What's in your CD player? Quinton: You can see deez nuts, is that what you're talking about? MMAWeekly: I knew that was coming. Quinton: I'm just f#%king with you. I be rapping, they got me rapping in Japan. I be listening to my own shit. MMAWeekly: You've got your own stuff out? Quinton: I got my own shit. I don't need to be listening to everybody else. I listen to my own shit. MMAWeekly: Break off some for us right now, come on man. Quinton: I don't want to f#%k with ya'll right now. [laughs] MMAWeekly: Tell us about you CD or DVD you've got out. Quinton: It's a demo. My CD is just a demo tape right now. It ain't finished cause I make my shit in Japan. They got me putting down shit in Japan. So, every time I go there, I go to the studio and put some shit down. I'm trying to get a record deal in Japan. I've been keeping it on the down low but I'm letting that shit go right now cause you're asking me to many motherf#%king questions. MMAWeekly: I'm coming hard at you. Dude, if Bob Sapp can have a CD, Quinton, come on man, you've got to be able to sell a lot of those shouldn't you? Quinton: Well, ya'll have no idea how famous Bob Sapp is man. Bob Sapp has his own dildo in Japan. Y'all are laughing but I'm telling the motherf#%king truth right now. MMAWeekly: You're kidding me. Quinton: No man, ya'll have no idea how famous Bob Sapp is in Japan. MMAWeekly: Do you think he's done fighting? Quinton: Nah, Nah, Bob Sapp, he never was a fighter. He's a hustler. He's out there hustlin, you know what I'm saying. Shit happens like that sometimes. Bob Sapp, he'll be back man. He's making his money man but when his contract is up, Bob Sapp's smarter than you think he is, When his contract is up, he's doing to retire and live off his other shit that he's made. He'll still probably make money in Japan after his fight career's over. Bob Sapp did something that no other man has done in Japan before man, blew up that quick. MMAWeekly: Yeah, no doubt about it. Someone wanted me to ask you about Matsui. Quinton: Man, what the f#%k's wrong with you, asking me about Matsui man? F#%k Matsui! Man, I'll slam Matsui on his motherf#%king head next time. That motherf#%ker ain't even going to step in the motherf#%king ring with me man. F#%k Matsui man! He's a f#%king bitch. Matsui's a bitch ass motherf#$ker man. Man, that motherf#%ker doen't even look at me man. F#%k Matsui man. MMAWeekly: Tell me how you really feel Quinton. Quinton: Man, I'll tell ya, if there's any fighter I don't like man, it's f#%king Matsui man. MMAWeekly: I can get that. My gosh dude. Why do you hate him so bad, just cause the fight? Quinton: Yeah man, this motherf#%ker acted like he had to be carried out on a stretcher. Man, you guys didn't see that shit man. They didn't show that shit man. He had to be stretched out on a motherf#%king, he had to be carried out on a motherf#%king stretcher cause he got kneed in the nuts, and I didn't even knee the motherf#%ker in the nuts. Man, he's a bitch man. MMAWeekly: I think you have destroyed Baroni's and Lee Murray's F-bomb record. Quinton: Well, f#%k both of them. It's my record. Lee Mary, I like Baroni but f#%k Lee Mary. MMAWeekly: How come you don't like Lee? Quinton: He talks too much motherf#%king shit. MMAWeekly: Yeah? Quinton: Yeah, how in the f#%k is he going to talk shit about Tito, then when it comes time to fight, he don't want to fight Tito? He made himself look bad. Lee Mary, I'll tell him to his face, you a stupid motherf#%ker and let him come to Pride. MMAWeekly: You'd want to, you'd take him on? Quinton: Man, f#%k Lee Murry. He ain't got shit. I'll put in short work with that motherf#%ker. He's a shit talking motherf#%ker man. I'm all about America, where the f#%k he from? MMAWeekly: [laughs] Quinton, always a pleasure my man. I've got to wrap it up. Quinton: I always wrap it up man. You don't know what these women got out here playa. I always wrap it up. MMAWeekly: Words to live by. Hey, a pleasure. I'll talk to you soon. Quinton: Alright, take care. MMAWeekly: Good luck against Arona OK. Quinton: Thanks man. -
Yep. This election sucks. Everyone is playing the "This is why you shouldn't vote for them" rather than the "This is why you should vote for me" - and you wonder why the youth don't vote. We already know why we shouldn't vote for ANY of the candidates - they're completely out-of-touch with any issue that effects any of us and believe that appearing on Canadian Idol will motivate us to vote for them; so why fucking vote at all when you've got a bunch of dipshits going on about stuff you don't care about?

Savage - Native Americans - Americans commonly called Native Americans by this name in the 1800s. I forget where I've heard it used last, but it came to mind pretty quickly. RRR: Well versed in Racial Slurs... I mean... Uh... Um... ...And haven't you seen Congo?! http://www.ethnic-america.com/eaol/Ethnic_...lture_names.htm - greatest. site. ever.
-
As mentioned before, "Monkey" was used in terms of action, not race. Thus not making it racist. Hell, "Monkey" is a common word and association - it's not solitarily used as a racial slur. It *was* used in a negative way, but if he said "Savage" - which has also been used as a racial slur - would he have been equally "tarnished"?

I caught it. I don't use "isms" Plus, I am jealous of your sig.

Advice: Leave the fantasy writing on the WWE board. It's silly here. And, you seem to assume that the advisors would have info THAT NOBODY HAD AT THE TIME. Again, not a hell of a lot Bush could do. I would have loved to, but you weren't able to get my point on the 12th try, so I figured I should do something more detailed. Again, he could have listened in. He didn't. He seperated himself from it. My original point stands and remains unanswered. Bush doesn't have info during the 9/11 attacks. He doesn't make big orders and lets the people at the scene handle the situation. He GETS info and proceeds to unleash the war on terror. Really, not complex. He had _lots_ on info before the 9/11 attacks, all pointing to "they're going to attack us". I never said anything about big orders or not letting people handle the situation. My problem is he didn't immediately stop reading to children and take a more active role. Why wasn't he right beside the phone to get the information? Why was he talking to children instead? Gee, how can somebody drive their car into a house? I don't know --- BUT IT DOES HAPPEN. 1. A car doesn't have auto pilot that plots a course. 2. Pilots are more well-trained than drivers. 3. The World Trade Centre is bigger -and stands out more- than a house. 4. Houses usually don't get targed by cars in a previous instance. People can ASSUME all day long --- the President cannot act until he has much more than ASSUMPTIONS to go on. The president -with the assumption- can still do _something_ rather than _nothing_. You aren't getting this concept and I FUCKING LAID IT OUT FOR YOU. By "act" I do not mean the following: -Call for F16's to shoot down any plane in the sky -Bomb the middle east -Scare children -Anything that harms anyone By "act" I *do* mean the following: - Talk - Listen - Participate in what's going on behind the scenes - Stop reading. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? Guess what? Bush WAS ON TOP OF THINGS. HE WAS READING TO CHILDREN. That is not "on top of things", unless that "thing" is about a cat in a hat. He knew everything ANYBODY knew at the time. I seriously doubt he did. However, He knew all he needed to know, IMO. I already gave the formula. And, somebody earlier posted a link to a story where a plane hit a building accidentally, I believe. 1. It was in the 40's. Navigation Technology has come a long way since then. 2. It was very foggy - a quick look at a weather radar would tell you otherwise. 3. In that article, PEOPLE SAID THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE BEING ATTACKED. 4. There had been a previous attack on the World Trade Centre by terrorists. Our knowledge of the Cole bombing is scant as we couldn't do much in terms of investigation thanks to Yemeni authorities. *Types in "USS Cole Suicide attack* *finds 25,000 articles* It was a suicide attack; terrorists were willing to kill themselves to hurt Americans. And, again, kamikaze missions were NOT considered all that plausible. Even though they happened before? Even though there was information that said they could happen? It's not "all that plausible". Mike, you're kidding me... right? But, hey, it's easy for you to make calls when all the info is in front of you and you've had a few years. Cause it's not like Bush was ever updated or talked to in-detail the situation prior to 9/11. No. He was clueless. You still fail to mention what he DIDN'T do that he should have. Well, outside of APPEARING to do things. Mike, buddy, you haven't been paying attention at all, have you? I mean, I'm trying to help you out here; trying to open up communication - but you've put the blinders up. And you seem to be ignoring a fact here. We get threats EVERY DAY. We get threats of nuclear launches, hijackings, car bombs, etc. So, which threats do we sweat and which do we not? Well, maybe, THE ONES THAT FUCKING HAPPEN. A jumbo jet crashes into a previously targeted -well known- and HUGE building. Hmm, maybe THAT deserves some attention, eh? How can we tell if a plane crash is pilot error or a terrorist attack, since most cities have threats made on them by somebody. "pilot error"? You'd consider THAT "pilot error"? That SPECIFICALLY - would be "pilot error"? It's not even like we had a solid timetable. And, hell, just for the fun of it, we'll play a little hypothetical. This is rare as I am not fond of hypotheticals. Let's say Bush KNEW. Let's say he KNEW everything. He knew the site. He knew the date. He knew roughly the time. What then? What does he do then? Shut down Manhattan and Washington DC? Hope they don't go for secondary targets? Heck, shut down ALL flights for that day and hope the terrorists don't take flights the NEXT day? I just want him to do something. I just want him to... Stop Reading. And you've been confusing this since the very beginning Mike. I am saying _once it happened_ he should have done something. When a "threat" becomes a "reality", it's time to put the book down. I can say that the press wasn't mentioning terrorism too quickly. _The Press_ has to take a little more caution when reporting news as not to create widespread panic. Plus, they weren't as informed as the president was. They didn't have detailed meetings with the CIA. I can say that Bush needs a bit of info to go on before making sweeping decisions. Hate to have jets shoot down planes at random due to a pilot accident. When did I ever say shooting planes down? When did I say sweeping decisions? Mike, if I had a penny for all the erroneous statements you've attributed to me, I'd be able to go to the movie theatre. Strangely enough, there'd be more reality in any film in theatres now than what you've been saying. And that's including Day After... Bush knew what was going on and was informed by his advisors WHEN NEW, CREDIBLE INFO came in. It's not like he went to the podium and said "So, what the fuck happened in New York this morning?" So he just kept on reading. Great fucking work. Let me guess --- Al Gore would've acted, right? I'm not a democrat. Al Gore is an idiot. How anyone could lose their own state in a fucking presidential election -to George W. of all people- is beyond me. Yup. Sometimes, bad shit happens that nobody can really stop. Mike, "Every" and "Sometimes" are different. You even goof your own fucking statements.
-
Seems the violating of the "spirit" falls pretty heavily on one side. I totally agree. Like I said, I personally would like to see the US military "show what they really can do" over there. However, my original question was, does that make the US "right" by breaking the rules? In my view, wrong is wrong. Even if it is more "right" than the other. And, yet again --- since you seem to miss these reports --- THE GUARDS ARE BEING PUNISHED. You've mentioned this -and infact, boasted it- on many occasions Mike. I am well aware. The precident was still set. Again, one guy jaywalks. Another guy rapes a nun. BOTH break the law. While I appreciate the extreme analogy to make a point, it's not doing it for me Mike. What they did could be considered a War Crime; that's not a misdemeanor. Isn't there a LITTLE moral difference? Sure. They did something worse. But it doesn't excuse the US from doing something wrong. And it's not as big as the gap between walking across the street and raping a nun.

Mike, you've got to be shitting me. You are using technicalities in direct opposition to the spirit of the Geneva Convention. You can't seriously think that it's a viable excuse for what they did and not just-cause for the same actions to be taken in-return. Not that I want the actions to be taken in-return, I'm with the US on this and don't mistake that, it's just think crying moral outrage over something (that is well deserved, mind you) and not about another is kinda slimy.

You're not very good at this Mike. I see 3 inaccuracies in that referencing something that I have never said. Wanna point them out?
