  1. Why tell ME we need more global work? When we were bombing Afganistan and actually seemingly going after terrorist targets, why was the help not asked for then, when some countries might have actually figured we were interested in crushing terrorism not ousting a dictator and "spreading freedom" Is it my fault or my policy that drove the allies away initially? TERRORISM is the world's problem, The war in Iraq certainly is not.
  2. Ok so when you hook up normal analog connections on the back of a TV it is usually marked as Video 1, Video 2, Video 3 etc.....so for example if your PS2 is plugged into Video 2, then you have you put the TV on Video 2 to play the PS2, DVD player to Video 3 and you have to have it on VIdeo 3 to watch DVDs......so since this will be my first experience with an HDMI connection, how does it work once it is hooked up, is HDMI classified as it's own video channel, ala you keep pressing the video button on the remote and it cycles through Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, then HDMI, or will HDMI be labled as "Video #" like any other connection?
  3. 1. Cemetery Man vs Zombi 2 [aka Zombie] 2. Dawn of the Dead [Remake] vs Undead 3. Dead Alive/Braindead vs Return of the Living Dead III 4. Night of the Living Dead [Original] vs Return of the Living Dead 5. Night of the Living Dead [Remake] vs Re-Animator 6. Land of the Dead vs Return of the Living Dead II 7. Day of the Dead vs Shaun of the Dead 8. Dawn of the Dead [Original] vs Wild Zero .
  4. If anything The war in Iraq is diverting more resources from the "War on Terror" then G8 or Live 8 could ever hope to. I guess Osama Bin Ladin and his cohorts didn't keep their promise to Bush about "fighting the War over there so We don't have to fight it over here"
  5. I guess I am the only one not caring much for a Lesnar return.
  6. A's finally reach .500....
  7. Note to self: stop coming in here and reading about what everyone else is eating while you are sitting in class with an hour and a half to go and lacking dinner inside the stomach.
  8. Hopefully you're right. In any case, at least the Certified WrestleCrap "Simon Dean" gimmick is gone. The bWo might not have an nWo to parody now, but it's still far more entertaining than some of the stuff WWE has been doing (the Masterlock Challenge, Simon Dean, Diva Search 2: Electric Boogaloo, Heidenreich, ect). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The problem is that the more casual fans recognize ECW a lot more then any one single faction such as the bWo, the bWo lasted for a small segment in time for ECW and unless you were a "smartmark" and realized it was a satire on the nWo, rather then an imitation then you would probably be clueless to their existence. Also since the Meanie/Bradshaw real life heat may not be known by the vast majority of fans. Also have to add that the nWo have been dead for some time now, so the satire has lost a lot of it's heat. Having the bWo work on Smackdown is fine, imo, but they will be like any other faction starting over in a new brand, don't expect them to be a an immediate ratings draw. If I was in charge I would have the three guys come out as a parody of classic and current tag teams every week like they did in ECW, since Stevie is such a goofball and pulls that stuff off so well, to me it would be a better draw then simply being the bWo.
  9. Flank steak is a good quality meat that you can get a relatively large amount for a good price. It is usually 2 pounds per pack and it is folded in half so when you take it out of the pack and unfold it is about 8"-10" x 6" Also you can do a lot with it like cut it up for fajitas or shiskabobs, or just throw the entire slab on the grill and cut it into three pieces, also it marinades very well.
  10. The salsa and guac flavored chips, I believe they are from the same brand.
  11. I have an irratic mental alarm clock. I seem to wake up 1-2 hours before I have to, which screws me up bad because you just get back into deep sleep and then the alarm clock starts going off and you don't feel like you have slept enough. My mom wakes up every morning without an alarm clock, but she also refuses to stay up late which helps.
  12. I think one thing people are not willing to deal with is that it might be necessary for a full out civil war in Iraq for all the sides to weed their problems out. Hell we had one, and while it was a sad time in american history to see americans killing americans, one could say looking back that it might have been necessary to progress as a country. The question is, do we want our troops caught in the middle of that civil war that seems to be brewing in the early stages.
  13. The problem with the Hassan character for me is it exposes bad and lazy writing as a creative writing team. I think I remember at the dawn of the "Attitude" era, Vince said WWE was going into a new direction, no more insulting the fan's intelligence, no more "good guys "bad guys" well then why is he having Hassan work a gimmick straight out of 1987? Sure Hassan is only one worker, but with Chavo's turn denouncing his "hispanicness" and the Mexicools spouting borderline racist slurs and gestures, you can't really say it is just Hassan. Another problem is that Hassan hasn't done anything to get himself over as a wrestler up to now, he is just the "sand guy" that gets squashed as the crowd chants racial slurs side by side with "USA USA USA" There could have been so much more creativity behind his gimmick such as making him a struggling face looking to find his way and "just wrestle"
  14. oh and one of the guys in my group took a shitload of pics, we were in the front row right behind the foldup chairs, so expect those to get posted sometime soon. Goodnight guys.
  15. Yeah, what I remember, here goes:
  16. ......and I am going to this show......
  17. The buyrate may not be big enough to revive the product but truth be told, those who bought it and/or are getting the dvd, saw one hell of a show that was much needed in today's mundane Prowrestling scene.
  18. Nothing. I am in class and I am f'n hungry for some dinner.
  19. I finally had one and it was very tasty, and pretty reasonably priced for the size.
  20. If I buy ice cream from the store it is either going to end up being a Ben & Jerry's pint or just a pack of assorted Drumsticks. Lately I have been addicted to Cold Stone Creamery with the weather getting hotter and all......

    Beer

    As far as Malt Liquor goes, Mickeys is a brand I actually like, and then I have also had St Ides which was not to good but still did the trick. The worst beer I have had is Hamms, it was barely $4 for a 12-pack and 2 sips into the first can I understood why.
  22. Ced what place is that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A place called Juicy Burger near my place (Pretty sure it's one of those smaller chains). Nice fresh meat and flame-grilled. They have deals from time to time and right now it's a third-pounder for $1.99. I had two last night with mayo, ketchup and diced onions and that filled me up nice and quick. It's good stuff. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ced, I demand you supply me the address immediately, that is a steal of a deal.
  23. After witnessing the A's during May, I would be estatic if they can finish this season over .500 and carry that momentum into next year. I am still waiting to see if their young pitchers have truly turned the corner, or if they are just on a streak right now, as I doubt the offense will keep scoring 6+ runs per game for much longer, although ever since Crosby returned to the lineup they have been on a tear, not to mention Dan Johnson adding a big bat to the lineup.
