  1. Well the circle begins again........
  2. Bill King & his co-host( I think his name is Ken Korack) are awesome. Bill King also used to call Raiders games back in the day. His "HOLY TOLEDO" is a classic.
  3. City of God is easily the best movie mentioned in this thread, but I think that the thread starter was talking about american "hood" movies, if not, then I apologize. I agree with Ripper that Juice seemed a lot better when I first saw it, and the last time I saw it on HBO it did come off as cheesy, however I almost enjoy those cheesy over the top "ghetto" movies in a "2am on a Wednesday night, can't go to sleep, turn on HBO, oh shit it's JUICE" kind of way. South Central is another one, although on a much lower budget. Vice Lords..... First Time Offender, the HBO Original movie, is pretty decent. There is this other one I can't remember the name of that was cheesy as hell, done on a low budget, and I think it had "The Lady of Rage" in it, as one of the prominent female roles.
  4. Actually, she got breast implants to make her boobs that big. I read that story a while back. So, she's not a natural. Is it too much to ask for a pic? I would search myself, but I am at work and not willing to risk some vulgar popups once the search query gives me all the matches.....
  5. Well the thing was, Jason Voorhees was legit killed in part IV(The Final Chapter). And so Part V featured the guy dressing up as Jason in order to make everyone think it was Jason. Part V had some classic moments, merely for the fact thats some of those personalities at the retard-camp were unforgettable. The chick doing her electronica dance in her room was a classic scene. sidenote: As stated before by me and others, Part VI(Jason Lives) is when Jason officially became a super-strength zombie version of himself, able to walk through such minor things as stabs and gunshots from smaller guns. I think Part VIII is recognized as the worst, and most hated of the series, if only for the fact that the trailer advertised "Jason Takes Manhatten" yet the entire movie sanz the last fifteen minutes, took place on a cruise ship.
  6. As far as I know right now, Deicide/Immolation/Skinless/Misery Index is the only thing guaranteed. Ozzfest is possible, if it doesn't skip Sacramento this year, but I am not sure if I want to pay the huge price.
  7. Umm yeah, this HAS to be fake, or at least those lyrics have to be. No way can you wait a few years to answer back to some disses and come up with that kind of crap as retaliation. Oh and as far as Eminem's role in 8 Mile, the dude played himself, he just played the same persona he does everytime he shows up on TRL, was it really acting?
  8. I wish Chris Wilcox would have stayed at Maryland for a couple more years instead of going to the Clippers. Maryland definately would have had a chance for back to back NCAA titles. The problem now in the NBA is that GMs feel pressured to take a highschool kid, just in case they turn out to be the next Lebron James.
  9. Real World, and the Challenge shows.
  10. Actually it's been quite awhile since anyone even brought up Dick Cheney along with Haliburton besides the Conservative posters here who get a sarcastic tickle out of some of the things Jobber has already stated. If we can look past any and all potential connections to Dick Cheney, the issue still remains that Haliburton is breaking laws and ripping off the tax payer.
  11. For some reason, I doubt he has a hard time getting women. I didn't mean it like, he couldn't score chicks, but I mean being a wrestler is not exactly like being a movie star or rock star. Sure he has no trouble getting "women" perse, but he probably hits a ceiling somewhere, and doesn't know how to handle it, because he feels he is "god's gift"
  12. Umm, wasn't this covered in the Doors movie? The movie seemed to potray him as an indy film geek, and dabbled a bit in drugs, and could write good lyrics. This isn't anything new.
  13. Is Orton actually a womanizer, or a wannabe womanizer? It sounds to me more like he thinks he can get any woman he wants, yet not many women want him, and he acts like a fucking junior high kid in response to rejection.
  14. Well for Episodes I & II, the crowd was pretty good about letting people know how many total in their group there was going to be, and some just had to work later then others, and it was pretty much agreed upon everyone. Then again, the midnight showing was shown on I think five screens at the theater I went to, so there was plenty of seats to go around. This time around me and my friends are going to go to the theater in my little section of town(at least I believe so) so hopefully everything goes as smooth. The theater here is bigger too. Damn, I can't wait, my best friend is coming up from Houston, I haven't seen him in over a year.
  15. Ok now I am back in Los Santos, and I finished the mission with the fighter jet where you take out those boats and then land it back in the hanger. Now I am doing the missions where you just start gang wars on the purple areas of the map. Do you have to make every inch of Los Santos "Green" to pass the game, or do you just have to get a good amount? How many actual missions are there back in Los Santos before the final mission?
  16. My friend went to a taping to Saved by the Bell way back in the day, and believe it or not, they would re-do takes in order to prep the crowd for those zany reactions...lol.
  17. Most cities have zoning laws. If you want lots of animals you have to live outside residential zones, or be a certain distance from them. My mom owns a kennel and the area around here is getting built up, and normally the county would try to make her close the kennel, but since it has been operating for over 30 years, it is grandfathered in, thus can't be fucked with~!
  18. This was reported by my local news station, but I couldn't find the story on their website so I had to go digging and find it from some cheezy dirt sheet..... Hulk Hogan battles with neighbors and local government over animals at home (St. Petersburg Times) Posted on 2/26/105 by Mike Informer Suburban smackdown In this town, the rules say five animals, only....but Hulk Hogan plays host to Lilly the Rooster and up to two dozen other critters. Neighbors cry foul. By LORRI HELFAND, Times Staff Writer Published February 26, 2005 BELLEAIR - You could blame a relentless rooster named Lilly. Or perhaps two chihuahuas and a maltese who happen to be registered members of the Screen Actors Guild. You could even trace it back to the six dogs, three French hens, two cats, 11 other birds, five tortoises, two chinchillas, two ferrets, two iguanas, two rabbits and two toxic frogs who once lived on the 2.3-acre spread of suburbia that pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan calls home. Whatever you blame, one thing is clear: Hulk and his family are embroiled in an emotional smackdown with Belleair officials and some neighbors, who say the animals have taken over the block. Al Raeford, a gardener for Hulk's next-door neighbor, can't take Lilly's constant crowing. "That drives me crazy and, I'm telling you, I was raised on a farm," he said. But Hulk, 51, and his family believe they are the victims. His wife became so upset at a public hearing this week she described officials with a choice expletive - a scene captured by the family's own film crew. "We're trying to live our life here and get along," said Hulk, whose real name is Terry Bollea, "and they're hell-bent on trying to get rid of our animals." * * * Neighbors have sporadically complained ever since Lilly came on the scene. The Bolleas adopted him several years ago as a science project for daughter Brooke, now 16. They thought Lilly was just a cute, fuzzy chicken at first, before they realized she was a he. "By the time it started to crow, I went to the city and explained the situation," said Linda Bollea, who received a domestic fowl permit in January 2000. Things intensified last spring after the town received a letter from an attorney for Bollea's next-door neighbors, Mary and Marshall Rinker, saying the animals were a nuisance, smelly and dangerous to their health. Town leaders ordered inspections in July, August and December, which found as many as 14 animals - although different inspectors saw different creatures. At a Dec. 6 code enforcement meeting, Linda Bollea said the family owned 25 animals. The town code allows only five. The code enforcement board gave the Bolleas until Feb. 7 to comply. Nobody, the Bolleas say, understands their situation. Their two chihuahuas, Foxy and Star, and their maltese, Cookie, actually reside at the family's Clearwater beach house, the couple said. They said the dogs, which are registered with the Screen Actors Guild, only visit the Belleair home, to film an upcoming TV show they're shooting about a celebrity family living in suburbia. None of that matters to Town Manager Steve Cottrell. "I don't think our code speaks to visitation of pets on a continuing basis," he said. The Bolleas said the town is targeting them because of their celebrity status. "We're trying to blend in and not push our celebrity on the community, and it's almost like they have nothing better to do but to pry into our lives," Linda Bollea, 45, said. But a few in the neighborhood said it's high time the famous wrestler and his family follow the law. Raeford, the Rinker's gardener, said his bosses have been tortured by the incessant cackling, crowing and barking. "These people are too nice to go through this," said Raeford of his employers, who both suffer from debilitating illnesses. "The whole neighborhood is scared of them and it's just not right." Edwin "Doc" Friesen, neighborhood association president, and his wife, Luckey, said the Bolleas' dogs chase after them as they stroll along the path to the association marina. "Even the rooster will run right along the fence crowing and having a good ol' time," Luckey Friesen said. The Bolleas, determined to go to the mat for their animals, hired an attorney, Paul S. Maney, who calls the town code "vague and overbroad." Section 10-2 of the code reads: "No person shall keep or maintain upon any residential property within the town more than a total of or any combination of five domestic animals at any one time." Maney and the Bolleas said the code implies that each person can have five animals. So, since the Hogans live with their two teenage kids, they were well within the guidelines. Town officials and members of the code enforcement board admit that Belleair's animal codes should be clarified. Still, the Bolleas agreed to cut back to six - four dogs, a bird and Lilly, which they said shouldn't count because of the permit. On Feb. 7, the latest official inspection, investigators witnessed six animals on the property. This week, a St. Petersburg Times reporter saw a few animals on the Bolleas' property that inspectors didn't note: an orange cat, a black cat and a blackish chicken. A code enforcement meeting was scheduled for Wednesday to determine if the Bolleas were still violating the code. * * * The wrestler brought a crew from his son's production company, Holy Shift Productions, to film the meeting. He said he wanted to document for himself why the town was forcing them to get rid of their furry and feathered friends. A camera was poised on the lectern, as attorneys for the city and the Bolleas took turns making their case. Then the board ruled: The Bolleas were still violating the code. They must pay a fine of $100 a day, dating back to Feb. 7, until they get rid of one more animal. Linda Bollea burried her head in her hands and broke into heavy sobs. She ran out of Town Hall with a cameraman behind her. Wearing a white tank top, blue and red surfer shorts and his trademark bandana, Bollea followed Cottrell into his office. Towering over the town manager, the wrestler told him the town was treating them unfairly. "It's clear as writing on paper," Bollea said, his voice steady. "All we're going by is the code." But Cottrell told him they weren't going to have that conversation and headed out the door. From the Town Hall steps, Mrs. Bollea screamed at the code enforcement board: "You guys are heartless and cold. You're making my life miserable. You guys are a-------." Fifteen minutes later, she had mellowed a bit. "I did not mean to lose my cool," Mrs. Bollea said. "I just lost it. Each and every one of those people are lying under oath. I think they want me to get rid of the rooster, but they wrote a permit for that rooster." The match isn't over. Hulk and his family have asked a circuit court judge to review the local board's decision.
  19. I read it a few days ago, considered the source, and decided to forget about it. While I wouldn't put it past the government to do it, (Jessica Lynch) I would want a more credible source to report on it.
  20. When Hogan was main eventing, the demand for him, for the most part was there. Right now in WWE, you put almost anyone in the main event for WM, the buyrate would change little, especially since WM is the one guarantee of the year.
  21. So for all you east coasters that saw it already, what commercial block does the trailer hit, during OC?
  22. Maybe Rocky trains Marie's son, he rises through the ranks, and Mason turns out to be a dirty fighter, hits Marie's son after the bell, he lands on his corner stool neck first, gets paralyzed and Rocky is faced with the decision on whether to pull the plug or have Marie's son live as a vegetable in a hospital for the rest of his life......
  23. That's because in general, NOBODY cares. However if you start a conversation about it, and break down the laws of the land, and it turns out that things like "In God We Trust" and the 10 commandments statue should not be placed where they are, don't get all bent out of shape over it. It's no different then underage drinking, on the whole it is allowed by society to a certain extent, and it is kind of accepted as a way of life for college students, but if you actually read the law books technically it is illegal. Yeah I know this analogy was a bit of a stretch, but I am almost off of work and tired.......
  24. I don't think RobotJerk is wasting his time marching down the streets of city hall in the name of removing the words "In God We Trust" from our currency, however for the sake of the conversation, what he is saying is correct, in the matter of putting "In God We Trust" on money or saying it is our motto is definately an endorsement of religion as a whole, not christianity perse, but definately a vague belief in god. It doesn't bother most people that much, thus no one cares and it isn't being argued in congress every day, however for the sake of conversation and constitutional law, RobotJerk is pretty much right on about the motto and what it implies, and why it should not be there. Now as far as the 10 commandments statues, there is no argument you can make to say it should be there in front of a courthouse. If anything there should be a statue of the constitution since that is our law, not the ten commandments.
  25. Maybe the solution is not to have laws that are basically a blanket, that prevent using common sense. I am not for juveniles being executed, but at the same time, I don't really buy into "the 17 year old's brain wasn't fully developed enough to know what he was doing" notion, either. What is wrong with the idea of treating things case-to-case, well I guess one would be knee-jerk emotions/reactions, but still it seems that everyone should have a case that pertains soley to their situation, and shouldn't be influenced by what someone else did some other time.
