Subtle? "They are really two different personalities", "Cody and his ego", etc etc etc.... they were hitting us over the head with how much these two guys shouldn't be teaming together much less holding the tag team titles. Subtle in regards to the fact that I thought it would be a month or so before he turned and joined a stable that is not even formed right now. I am aware of how they were forcing that on us, but a lot would have had to happen for the stable to get formed this week or even next.

Another thing I forgot to mention about Cody Rhodes was Lawler's commentary about his ego, etc. I was thinking at the time that they could be subtly laying the seeds for him to join that talked-about stable. After Ted Jr. came out, I think that is exactly what they were doing.

I came to post my thoughts on Rhodes being bought out and being the tag partner, but Downhome already said it. So far, so good, but they need to update it to Billion Dollar Man or Billion Dollar Kid.

Message me. Maybe we can reach a deal.

EDIT---I am going to answer some of the questions I have been answering via pm. I will calculate shipping costs to your location and charge what it costs to ship them to you, no more than what it costs. I don't have set prices for each of these movies, though I do have a good idea of what I could get out of them. No matter what, make an offer and we can negotiate. A lot of people have asked what version the Batman Begins DVD is. It is the Two-Disc Deluxe Edition that comes with the collectible 72-page comic insert. The comic has an insert correcting an error in the print of the comic. This set still has the Batman promotional items sheets inside as well. Also, yes I will consider offers on several different sets or DVDs bundled together. Make an offer! I am getting rid of a lot of DVD's and Box Sets in preparation for moving into my new house. I plan on putting everything on eBay, but I am listing them here first. Some of these are Special Editions, so inquire about any of them you may be interested in. Message me with any offers. Box Sets: The Simpsons (seasons 1-5) Family Guy (volumes 1-3; seasons 1-4) Seinfeld (volume 1; seasons 1-2) The Humphrey Bogart Collection The Steve McQueen Collection The Godfather Collection Lost (seasons 1-2) The Office (season 1) The Osbournes (season 1) The Pink Panther film collection DVDs: The Others A Murder of Crows North by Northwest Leon: The Professional Bull Durham The Inside Man With Honors Hide and Seek Independence Day The Rundown Shaft in Africa The Ladykillers (newer version) The Jerk Caddyshack II Pink Panther (original version) Dirty Work Batman Begins Tombstone The Shawshank Redemption Gladiator The Game Mystic River Seven Sweet Home Alabama Anchorman Wake Up Ron Burgundy Office Space Big Daddy Tommy Boy Kingpin There's Something About Mary Happy Gilmore Unbreakable Signs A Few Good Men Snatch Hostage American Beauty Collateral We Were Soldiers Fallen Sleepers Boondock Saints Reservoir Dogs Hitch Varsity Blues FMW: Yokohama Deathmatch

Well, it's merging with Raw in the sense that it merged with Smackdown. Since it will be taped the same night as the bigger show, there is a storyline reason for why superstars from the bigger show will be appearing on ECW and vice versa.

Maybe we got two red herrings last week for the GM spot, but I still say DiBiase gets it and his son debuts soon.

Skimming back through the thread, I noticed a small discussion that bicep curls do no good for sports and they are good for beach bodies only. This is not true. Besides strengthening the biceps to prevent injury in sports and making you stronger overall, bicep curls are key in boxing and MMA. The stronger (not bigger) that your biceps are, the faster you can punch.

I am not defending Patterson at all, but it was 0-8. His last out was a sacrifice to move a runner over. At least he did that right.

They are missing the boat if they don't do Smith/Wilson as a tag team and DiBiase Jr. as a solo heel complete with an updated gimmick of his dad's. I was sure that was what was coming after seeing Ted on Raw last week.

The sauce is Thousand Island dressing. Burger King had that on there as well. The reasons I liked it better was the taste of the beef, the sliced onions, pickles, etc. They made a Big Mac like you would make at home. Well, as best they could in fast food form.

If he gets two more outs, he will. Dude has 9 K's in 4 innings of relief. Edit---And they had to pinch hit for him because of two straight IBB's to get him to the plate. Bako K's and it looks like Cueto will have to go from here. Edit 2---Volquez!

This Thursday is out for me. I am having a LOST party, and we will be watching the episodes leading up to the finale.

Burger King had the "Big King," which was a superior version of the Big Mac. I ate them all the time in college, and then they got rid of it. It came back later as the "King Supreme," but I have not seen it around for a long time. Much better burger than the Mac, in my humble opinion.

I see the Reds starting to spend money, actually. You have to start somewhere. They have some younger guys that are putting up great numbers for bargain prices. Cordero won't have 12% of the payroll for long when they start locking these guys in.

Yeah, Cordero's the least of the Reds' worries. If you look at how many blown leads and saves they had last year, it shows they needed a closer. For the first time in a long time (barring the Eric Milton debacle), the organization threw some money at a free agent and totally upgraded the bullpen in the process. Is the bullpen excellent now? No. But they only have a couple of bad spots in the pen that they are trying to work out. Cordero has done a fine job this year.

Okay, it's been a long time since I used what I learned in geometry unless it was shooting pool or something like that. I am installing in-ceiling speakers, and the location of my front speakers can be pinpointed by geometry if I am thinking correctly. It would be easy if I knew what a 26 degree angle looked like in my head and I could be exactly on target on each side, but alas I can not. I know that I could do it with a protractor, a chalkline, and some measuring tape, but it seems like learning how to figure this out in my head will come in handy for the future. Two sides of the triangle are 15 feet, and the angle of those two sides is 26 degrees. What is the length of the third side? When answering, please remind me of the formula used to reach the answer. I know the pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c ^2, but that is for right triangles. Thanks for any help you can give me!

Sorry about possibly ruining your pick, Mazto. I figured Layden would go many rounds later, and I remember him more for his antics on a slam dunk VHS tape I have than I rember him as a coach.

Griffey finally ended his homerun drought one day shy of a month.

Good idea.

Great thread idea, as I already told you. In the future, maybe we can have a thread title that will fit, though. Anyway, I would like to suggest Survivor Series 1990 for a future show.

Thanks for the answer, and double thanks for the formula (which I had forgotten YEARS ago)!

Blonde or red-haired men can get away with that much easier than dark haired men.

Just a guess, but that may stem from the report of what he was busted for during the Signature situation. Among some of the steroids, he had an anti-estrogen, IIRC. Nolvadex is one of the more popular anti-estrogens out there, and you can get it OTC at GNC or rather easily on the internet. It is legal, obviously, but unless someone has an abnormally high estrogen level, the only reason they would take it is to eliminate getting "bitch tits" while taking steroids.

Who is going to come away with an absoulte steal in Frank Layden?
