I actually think the Old Little Caesar's was a hell of a lot better tasting then the revamped "Hot & Ready" Little Caesar's of today. However, as has been said many a time before in this thread, it is $5 for a reason, and while it isn't the best, it is still a good deal, especially when you have to pick up a bunch of pizzas for a large group.

The saddest part really is that this whole ordeal will probably propel Jamie Lynn's career farther and higher then she would have gone if none of this would have happened. If the industry just disposed of her, and yes it sounds harsh but would she even be where she is anyways if it was not for Britney? I am not saying Jamie Lynn should be expunged forever, but the fact that an incident like this will probably open up more doors for her is sickening. Sensationalization at it's finest. Paris Hilton laid the blue-print. She was just a rich celebrity-wannabee that hung out on Hollywood blvd trying to act famous, and the only reason she was even given a second look was because she was rich. Then all of the sudden a sex tape comes out and a few years later you can't find a entertainment magazine and/or show without her ugly anorexic mug pasted all over it. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not like I am naive and think that a sex tape is something to ignore, but I just figured once it was seen by the world, it would get old after a few months and Paris Hilton would fade back into obscurity, but no, we have girls all over the TV saying Paris Hilton is their idol, everything from the stupid monster-sized sunglasses fad, to the trying to be 75 pounds soaking wet look.

Ok, I have a Linksys WRT54G. I got it at Christmas and was running the internet, a wired PS3 connection and a wireless Wii connection through it up until about two hours ago. I tried connecting online on Madden via PS3 and suddenly it froze. So I figured it was my PS3. Try again and now it won't connect to the internet. Checked the wii's wireless connection, nope, it won't connect. So I check the internet, it's down. So usually in this case, unplugging the router and plugging it back in has the connection up and running again in a matter of seconds. I try it....nothing. Again, nothing. So I shut down my computer, restart it....still nothing. Ok, so this time I unplug my router, plug it back in....nothing. The weird part is, all the indicator lights on the router and modem are on. Also, it is not ISP because I plugged the network cable directly into my computer and the internet worked fine. So the last thing I did was reset the router, and tried reseting the network from scratch. It refuses to acknowledge that I have an internet connection. Every time I try to configure a network it gives me one of two messages: Either a) no internet connection(and then my computer says there is such little connectivity for the network that the internet cannot be accessed) or b)this installation software is meant to be used for Linksys products only, if your router is not a linksys please use the software provided with the router. And yes, everything is plugged in, powered, and plugged in to the right ports. The strangest thing is that it seems like the computer, router, and modem are all reading each other and acknowleding they exist, because if I unplug something from the router, the modem knows something is unplugged, same with the computer, however I can't for the life of me get any internet connectivity through my router.......like I said...everything was FINE until two hours ago..... Is my router fried or did I miss something somewhere? EDIT: Is this http://www.monoprice.com/products/product....=1&format=2 any type of sufficient alternative to a router? I can use it to plug my PS3 and Internet in at the same time, but will connectivity suffer by using this device instead of a router?

Forget the bigger issue of Global Warming for a second, and lets just hope that our government is interested in the least in cleaning up our own countries policies that destroy ecosystems here. Sometimes I just want our government to acknowledge a lot of the pollution and toxic waste that is bad for our food, water, and air. All the stuff that gets dumped into waterways and/or emissions that are dumped into the air. It doesn't simply just dissapear. I think if we put aside "the devastation of the earth as we know it" for a moment and just realize that a lot of business practices in this country are bad for people's health, it might get everyone more focused on trying to clean things up a little.

MMA Comments that Don't Warrant a Thread

So according to sherdog, Liddell vs. Shogun is official for June. http://www.sherdog.com/news/news.asp?n_id=11107 -
I liked Ft13th Part 3....I really wish I was old enough to have seen it in theaters in 3D....haha.

EDIT: Nevermind. I should have read to the end of the thread first....

I actually just woke back up, I fell asleep during the debate. Had a long day at work today.
-
So when the debates began I was flipping throught the cable news channels to see who was showing it, and I stopped at Fox News to see what O'Reily would be featuring on his show....so his first two lead stories, one is about "conservative angst" and the other about "far left wing hate" The interesting part is the fact that he managed to label Mike Malloy a far left extremist, but then at the same time labled Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter as merely "Conservatives" Now, I have heard Mike Malloys radio show on many occassions and I wouldn't deny he is rather left of left, but the nerve to then turn around and not consider people like Rush and/or Coulter the yin to Malloy's yang, and merely say they are "angry conservatives" is kind of peculiar.

I was listening to Laura Ingrahm on the way to work today and she was all snooty because I guess Obama is in favor of either decriminilization or outright legalization of pot......has he actually come out and said this on the campaign trail? If so, kudos to him because while a lot more politicians agree with this stance then people think, very few of them have the balls to say it until they are out of office or at least in a lameduck situation.

I always wondered why people would want to elect candidates to government who don't believe in the government so much. I can understand not wanting the government to run wild, but is it really that much more comforting to think of a day where the government is being marginalized in favor of multi-national corporations with nothing but the bottom line for shareholders on their agenda? Oh wait....

I think maybe that scientist is responsible for figuring out how to make living tissue able to thrive on a terminator exo-skeleton. The Terminator was all busted up going into that scene and when he comes out of bathtub of blood it seems like he has brand new skin. Maybe!?! I got that part, but the first time Cromarte disrobes and is just full on skeleton, he reaches his hand out as if to say "Give me the tape recorder" and the scientist shuts the door behind him. It made absolutely no sense and I just can't figure what was going on there as there was no verbal communication. Oh....umm. Good question. Maybe since the Terminator was planning on killing the scientist who basically invented that process, he wanted to record the event for future use or something....I dunno, to maybe document what was taking place....!?!

Well noone really knows the timeline between each movie (besides 4-6 because of the Tommy Jarvis character) so basically by the time the next movie starts "Jason Voorhees" is reduced to a campfire tale that people don't really believe happened....I mean I would imagine like any business, if something tagic happened, it would take awhile but eventually you re-open for business, and especially in the earlier movies because Jason wasn't a Super-Indestructable Jason Zombie until Part 6.....

Yeah, how about the techno-slut doing her quasi-robot dance in the room before she is slaughtered? Campy goodness!!!

Ok here we go.... NOES: 1,3,6,7(new nightmare),4,5,2 FT13th: 3,1,4,7,6,2,8,5 FvJ > Jason X > Jason Goes To Hell

Human Cannonball needs to comeback and I would also like to see the return of Atlasphere.

Funny I should ask this question now after reading the last few posts in this thread, but I will ask anyway.... So I have my Wii on 24/7 and every so often the disc tray starts glowing blue......WHY? Is it telling me there is a news update or something!?!
-
Anyone that has been following politics the past eight years has to laugh at Republicans claiming that they are fiscally conservative or the notion that they would "cut spending" It has become painfully apparent that Republicans spend just as much if not more then Democrats, they just choose to spend the money on different things and then call it "fiscally conservative" not due to less spending, but due to what the money happens to be spent on.
-
So just to give an update, the router software still isn't acknowleding a working internet connection, but despite that the internet, PS3, and Wii are all connected and working fine. I am not sure why the router won't acknowledge an internet connection but I am done trying for now and as long as everything keeps working the way I currently have it setup then SO BE IT!!!

I don't necessarily not like Part 2, there are a bunch of so bad it's funny moments, but I definately think that besides the references to part 1, Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2 could almost be a stand-alone flick because of the way it changes the formula and if you do view it as a stand alone flick, like maybe forget you ever saw the first one, then it doesn't come off as awful. I enjoyed 3-6 and Freddy v. Jason was campy fun. Hell, I own the box set complete with 3-D glasses!!! As far as the remake goes, I am not sure why it is necessary considering sequels were still being made up to a few years ago with plenty of rumors of more coming. It's not like it is a series in stagnation that has not been heard from in a decade or so....

I don't think that's something you should be proud of. Ive voted in every election since 2000 (Nader/Erlich(MD Gov)/Kerry/Erlich) Im still pissed because MD moved up their Primary I couldnt register as a Republican from an Independent and thus cant vote in any primary here in Maryland. Erlich losing and the state of Maryland turning into a shithole over night after 4 good years of a Republican Governor was my "pivot point" so to speak in terms of my change from independent to Republican. From voting for Nader to being a loyal Glenn Beck listener.....that is quite the philosophical change. Anyways, back to the election; Edwards is gone. Some say he is a lock for AG if Obama wins, but who really knows. It will be interesting to see if Obama can pull off CA and/or NY.

Too bad isn't running

Thats discussed on page 146-147 of "An Inconvenient Book" in the chapter on Media Bias. after "Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies" most people leave out the part "And I know you're not" as well as "I am not accusing you of being an enemy" and "I really dont believe that Islam is a relgion of Evil. I -- you know I think its being hijacked, quite frankly" But everyone ran to attack beck with the "prove to me you are not working with our enemies" line..completely ignoring the rest. How about the time when he called the Katrina victims scumbags..or called Jimmy Carter "a waste of Skin"..oh wait..he actually meant that last one. Umm, how is it media bias? No one twisted his words, and I posted the entire thing including what you just typed. Watch the video for yourself. The guy came off as pompous asshole. Tell me what was the point of asking the question in the first place....was it just Glenn Beck humor and I just don't "get it"? No one is "ignoring the rest" It was obvious he was just being a prick for the sake of being a prick when he starts the entire thing off with "yeah I know you are for cutting and running"

Here is some more of Glenn Beck's greatest hits for our resident fan. In this approx 2 minute piece Mr. Beck asks the first Muslim to be elected to the house to PROVE he isn't "working with the enemy" but I mean that's all ok because he says "he likes muslims" at the beginning..... ::shotgun to head::
