  1. Psssst. A lot of Muslims smoke and drink.
  2. Whoah. This card just gained a monochrome of importance.
  3. In 2003, if you were watching the Inoki Bom-Be-Ye show.
  4. I was told by the the bride herself that it's cool if I smuggle a flask in so I'll likely be taking sips of that when I go outside for a smoke.
  5. I really dug the archetypes they were running with Emerson and Nate. Diaz, the ugly, angry kid who grew up in a shitty neighborhood with fighting in his soul vs the OC pretty boy who fights because he thinks it's a thing to do. I was going nuts when Nate rolled him into the choke at the very end.
  6. Nope, scheduled for 9. Pre-show is from 8 to 9.
  7. Seems they've got their bases covered. Nothing to freak out about here.
  8. I can empathize with any and all Americans who feel that the loss of 32 of their own is a horrible thing but I don't think it should be downplayed that, ya know, tons of Iraqi's are dying. Even though that's more or less the case.
  9. Been invited to one in June by a co-worker. Don't know much except there will be no alcohol. Who's been? Are they fun?
  10. "I ain't no bitch" DIAZ
  11. Hopefully the amount of infected children increases from the first movie.
  12. From Yahoo! Sports: Floyd Mayweather stands almost 5-foot-9, weighs 154 pounds, has a 72-inch reach and can drop most mortals with a single swing of either hand. He's fast, athletic and dodges punches as well as anyone, maybe ever. In 13 world title fights, he won all 13. His next one is May 5 in Las Vegas, this time as a junior middleweight, against Oscar de la Hoya, as big a fight as boxing has seen in years. His nickname may be "Pretty Boy," but he is one bad, bad man. On Cinco de Mayo we'll find out if Mayweather can beat de la Hoya – he's the heavy favorite – but could he beat a snarling, menacing, multi-skilled champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship? How about lightweight (155 pound) champ Sean Sherk, who may stand just 5-foot-6, may suffer from a distinct reach disadvantage, but as a mixed martial arts master is schooled in "interdisciplinary forms of fighting that include jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling." Could the best pound-for-pound fighter in the old combat sport (boxing) handle a champion in the new combat sport (UFC)? "UFC's champions can't handle boxing. That's why they are in UFC." Mayweather said Tuesday from Las Vegas during a break in training. "Put one of our guys in UFC and he'd be the champion. Any good fighter, he'd straight knock them out." Dana White, a one-time boxer and boxing instructor and current UFC president, laughs at that. "Boxers couldn't become mixed martial artists. That's why they're boxers," White countered Wednesday from England where UFC has an event Saturday. "They are one trick ponies. Our guys can do everything. They can box, they can kick box, they can wrestle and do jiu-jitsu. They are much better athletes than boxers." Mayweather may be right, but he'd have to be. Any boxer stepping into the UFC octagon would have to knock his opponent out before the mixed martial artist got a hold of him, because once the fight fell to the mat, where things get nasty, the boxer is all but finished. But, as Mayweather points out, the often (by boxing standards) clumsy and lead-with-their-face UFC guys would have to walk through a hail of vicious jabs, crosses and hooks to get there. "Take Chuck Liddell," Mayweather said of the UFC's biggest star and light heavyweight champion (about 205 pounds). "Put him in the ring with a (boxer) who is just 10-0 and Chuck Liddell would get punished." So you'd punish a UFC champion, too? "Come on, man. What'd you think? Am I just 10-0?" Mayweather is 37-0. Liddell, with six inches and 50 pounds on Mayweather, isn't possible, but someone like Sherk, someone his size? With that insane reach, unreal punching power and by UFC rules aided by small, light 4-ounce gloves would Mayweather carve up Sherk instantly? Or would Sherk fight throughout the barrage and get Mayweather in a clutch no ref will save him from? "They wouldn't have a chance to grapple (us) because we'd knock them out," Mayweather said in general. "(The fighter) would be knocked out before he even touched us." Of course, perhaps no punch is strong enough to stop a charging opponent. No one really knows what would happen at such an elite level. "I used to talk like Floyd Mayweather when I was involved in boxing," White said. "I talked just like him, until I educated myself about this sport. These guys are amazing athletes, Floyd Mayweather is one of the best boxers ever, (and) Sean Sherk will whoop his ass in under two minutes." "Any day that Mayweather wants to put his money and his ass where his mouth is, I'm ready," White continued. "If he wants to step up, let's do it." First off, Mayweather was talking mostly in general about his disdain for UFC – "Boxing is an art, UFC is a fad." But Mayweather has spent almost as much time this spring ripping UFC as de la Hoya, who he seems to consider as little more than a matinee idol useful for only increasing the purse. "I never knew popularity to win any fight," Mayweather said. "I'll beat him and come home and watch basketball." The UFC, though, is clearly on his mind. He brought it up on his own Tuesday. Earlier this month he cracked that "anyone can put a tattoo on their head and get in a street fight." Mayweather may be a talker – loquacious doesn't begin to describe the 30-year-old – but he isn't dumb. So maybe he is setting up another big pay day in the event he dusts de la Hoya and boxing has little to offer. Or maybe he just wants to promote a fight involving others. Of course, the economics of UFC would have to change to get Mayweather to participate. UFC fighters make a fraction of top boxers. As part of the family business, Mayweather, his dad and his uncle handle all aspects of his career. For the de la Hoya fight he'll earn millions. "Why would I go into a sport paying hundreds of thousands when I'm in a sport paying $20 million?" Mayweather said. Mayweather knows full well, though, that the pay per view money is there for the taking on something like this, a battle that would be intriguing at nearly every level. White would just about kill for this to go down, preferably with Mayweather involved as a fighter. "I'm willing to put together a fight for Sean Sherk and Floyd Mayweather with numbers that would make sense for Floyd," White said. "And I guarantee you he would not accept it. Floyd Mayweather would never fight in the UFC because he would get his head ripped off." Yes, he would. But only if Sherk didn't get his head ripped off first.
  13. Zombies are re-animated dead. These things are infected with a virus. Thus, not a zombie movie. Can't really argue it.
  14. 3. Jeff Joslins nutsack
  15. So, how did Portuguese Parachute Girl get a photo of Des and Penny when they broke up immediately after it was taken and Desmond took the only copy?
  16. I'd been hoping for it all night long.
  17. How did I end up drinking next to Rob McDonald tonight?
  18. Wait- the solution here is to find his family and make them pay? FUCK YEAH
  19. muahaha its funny reading curry pull this shit after what happened at a quebec college 6-8 months go. what happened there? this can happen anywhere. canadians are too fucking smug for their own good. I'll not deny the smugness. I'll also not deny that a shooting can, will and has happened on Canadian soil. Slayer provided helpful links. I must be doing something right if Inc is stopping by in CE folders just to say hello. I'm glad I can bring smiles to faces during such a sad time. Kickboxing folder?
  20. Kampmann would make a good neo-Nazi henchman in pretty much any movie.
  21. G.W and Laura are flying down to the school today to be with the students and their families. That sound you're hearing from the southern states? It's Louisiana screaming "Fuck you".
  22. I don't think it matters or not whether the cops or campus security thought they had the thread neutralized after the initial shooting at 7:15, there is really no excuse for people sitting in their classrooms and not finding out about it for another two hours. Like Edwin said, the only certain blame right now is on the shooter himself but I've got the feeling that when the dust settles there is going to be a strong case made for the local police force and campus security fucking up big time. They've been through a lot, yes and they're about to go through worse but if this tragedy is going to help future situations learn then blame unfortunately must be allocated somewhere.
  23. Rumour has been floating around for a while, seeing as how it's going to take place in Ireland and UFC is giving us the England show for free.
  24. "Historically speaking, America will accept tragedies like this as long as they can maintain easy access to a wide variety of firearms, and another tragedy will not change this. That is probably more tragic than the obscenely tragic events of today in Virginia, which itself is horribly depressing, and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this terrible event." Posted somewhere else. Pretty much it. The level of grandeur in terms of shock and terror still has potential to rise before something gets done. And King, ease up. It's been a shitty day. I have very much not lost sight of the fact that a bunch of lives were changed because of this. I have no issues with leaving your country to deal with it's own messes, I just think it sucks that you've got such large ones in the first place.
  25. Eh? I thought it was some pretty fucking great tv m'self. Jack had some seriously great lines in it. And Doyle got clowned like the bitch he is.
