    TV deaths that pissed you off or upset you

    I've only seen Season One of The Wire so far, but the killing of really bothered me.

    And to act like a total moron in the process. Same with Curtis. Totally broke character with the Curtis that you are used to in order to eat a neck bullet. I didn't really care about Curtis but that Tony one did piss me off. One of my all-time 24 markout moments was early in Season 4 when Jack needs to call someone he can trust and with him not being listed on the cast it was a total fucking moment when Tony burst through the door in that warehouse. Pretty pretty please no spoilers from The Wire in this thread! I just got seasons 2 and 3 in the mail yesterday and plan on slamming through them this week.

    UFC Fight Night #???

    Yeah that's not going to kill the thread dead for most people. Begging to Dana White must really work. Hermes is going to fight Sherk in July for the title.

    Comments which don't warrant a thread.

    What's the opinion on them, in general, over there? I see they are headlining the NME summer tour this year. I love the CD and the two other songs on the EP.

    UFC Fight Night #???

    I honestly think Salmon was out cold throughout Rashad's entire interview. Sick, sick, knockout...(which coincidentally preempted the show from going overtime). I never want to see Troy (or was it Terry) Waugh on my screen again. His little dance when he started round one made me angry. Get Big John back in the main events.

    I just head a song on an iTunes commercial that I totally loved and found the band. I like all of their songs so far... They are called The Fratellis. Not really here in the States yet, but apparently out in the UK. Check/avoid based on your tastes relations to mine.

    threadless.com

    Me rocking some threadless... I was caught by surprise a little.
  9. I know this is not a favorite band of the board, but wow... this cd is so meh. Nothing sucks, nothing stands out. It's just pretty much 45 minutes of noise. Maybe some tracks will jump out after repeated listenings but so far the only one that's memorable is the opener "Thriller" due to the intro and outro that rib on Jay-Z. But nothing sucks so if you're a fan I'd suggest getting the torrent.

    SNL Review

    Yeah - SNL has been pretty good this year. All they are missing is a huge breakout star and it would be good again. They cut out enough of the deadwood that it's decent again. The sound was off for the beginning of Miss Murder and the beginning of the Blizzard Man sketch.

    2006-07 MLB Offseason Thread

    Marlins at 15 is probably a combination of being number one in pitching and number 30 in hitting. Cupboard for position players is just about bare but no club can even come close to matching the pitching depth.

    Mushroomhead - Savior Sorrow

    Hey the Bloc Party thread has 18 replies. That's worthy of a thread right there. I listen to more than pop rock, Czech.

    ESPN sucks, so do thread closers

    I actually really enjoy Dickie V. He's annoying sometimes with his Duke love, but I met him at the Dean Dome twice and his enthusiasm translates well on the air.

    SNL Review

    The best part of Macgruber was the payoff at the end of the third skit when Forte asks for a bucket of bum sperm and Piven's defeated reaction. That to me, payed off all the skits. I liked that, weekend update, and the blizzard man. That's about it. The move the chains skit was one of the worst I can remember.

    Poor Fredi Gonzalez. Never managed a major league game but he's already the worst manager in baseball according to ESPN.com.

    Anybody have an English bulldog?

    It's hard to say, really. I just always wanted a bulldog. The closer and closer I got to being able to afford one, the more I read up about them and learned about them. It was only then that I learned about all the problems they have and just how expensive they are (and why). By that point, I think it was too late for me to just change my mind. My enthusiasm is curbed, so to speak, but I think they would be the perfect complement pet for me. They don't require a lot of exercise, which is good for me because sometimes I work long days in the lab. They are friendly and loyal, good to children and other dogs and I happen to find them to be among both the cutest and the coolest of dogs. I get asked this a lot because a lot of people ask me how I could be spend so much money on a dog but I don't really have a perfect answer. Then again, I also have a Mac so maybe I just like spending money on things that are way overpriced and not necessarily that much better then the cheaper options. I don't know.

    24 - Season 6

    That's what great about it. It could go either the way Edwin said above or what Marvin said and I wouldn't be suprised.
  20. Well, after the first two songs I was wondering just badly this CD was going to disappoint me, but luckily it turned things around after that. Waiting for 7.18 was a decent track and everything after The Prayer is pretty damn good. It's still not Silent Alarm but I think it's still a pretty decent album. The Prayer is a terrible single though.

    Anybody have an English bulldog?

    It's true for any species, actually. I work with mice and it's the same deal. We deal with inbred mouse strains that have been kept up for over 200 generations and are 99.99 percent identical. Each strain is associated with certain maladies (one is blind, one is a poor breeder, etc.). As soon as you outbreed them, the F1 generation (first crossed generation) has increased vigor, alot of the problems go away and they generally live a lot longer. Genetic inbreeding is not good for anybody. Mutts live the longest but if someone has in their mind the idea of the dog they want - usually the only way to get exactly what you want is to get a purebreed. Some are relatively healthy (usually the smaller dogs) but there are dogs like the boxers and bulldogs that are just saddled with health issues. Unfortunately for me - I have always wanted a bulldog and I will get one at some point (if not this summer). But I know what I'm getting myself into.

    That would actually be pretty cool.
