Damn double post. I'll use it to add that I also enjoyed the scene with Michael/Locke and the combination to the gun room. Locke is awesome.

Wow. We actually picked that out during the episode. At first we thought it was a little girl, but I rewound it and watched it frame by frame. Interesting stuff. I called it to Amy too, because it was like Locke said...the island told him what to do. That was after he saw the security system. We also thought that the Others are watching their bunker because when Jack wheeled around on the screen, the words went away. I think it's all a trap to lure away Michael. I mean, not like that's a stretch, but I think they have them under surveillance somehow.

How do we know that Charlie hasn't already started using? Eko's backstory was bad ass, alright. Double throat slash? He's the badass we all hoped Jin was after the first Jin/Sun episode. Man, I missed Lost.

I can't believe they ditched the G5 for a dual core Intel. Something I never thought I'd see.

Awesome.

Wal-Mart Apologizes for Racist Software Glitch Wal-Mart's attempt to mimic Amazon, NetFlix, and Blockbuster by providing an automated system that recommends movies based on the types of DVDs its customers previously ordered came to a crashing halt Thursday after blogs spread the word that the Planet of the Apes DVD was linked to "Similar Items" that included DVDs about Martin Luther King, Dorothy Dandridge, Jack Johnson and Tina Turner -- all notable African Americans. "We are heartsick that this happened and are currently doing everything possible to correct the problem," Wal-Mart spokeswoman Mona Williams said in a statement. "We were horrified to discover that some hurtful and offensive combinations are being mapped together. ... We are deeply sorry that this happened." The company gave no explanation for how the software program managed to select only films about African-Americans for the recommendations. imdb.com Thought that was funny. They have an easy out...blaming the software, but I bet they are secretly trying to hunt down and kill the programmer.

Remember when I said Eli was further along than Palmer at equal points in their career? Yeah, I'm an idiot.

UNC takes down #12 NC St. Awesome win - Tarheels really took control in the second half. It might have just been wishful thinking on my part to say the Heels were gonna be pretty good this year, but it's turning out to look more and more concrete every day. A win over NC St. is great. Maybe, just maybe they can beat Duke this year.

David Wright over Miguel Cabrera is a little silly, in my opinion. It's all about hype and perception. If David Wright was on Florida he would be regarded pretty similarly how Mike Lowell was a few years ago (although Wright is better, in my opinion. Put Cabrera on the Mets and the New York papers would be photoshopping pictures of him walking on the Hudson River. To put it simply: I strongly disagree. I think Miguel will go a long way towards proving just how good he is next season.

I think it's worth it. Rob Neyer, Chat archives, Sports Guy archives, all of the STATS matchup previews (NCAA, NFL), Baseball America. And you get a years sub to ESPN the Mag. Definitely worth it for baseball fans, in my opinion.

I don't know what's more interesting... The fact that Tom Tupa was the first QB drafted in 1998. Or that no QBs were drafted until the 3rd round.

Is there something to this or is this a Czech Republic message board special? Oh, I just noticed that Czech was the first reply and not the topic starter.

Kotzenjunge is the worst. Possibly ever. And his picture doesn't help. At all.

It's about time you got a real job, you fucking scumbag. You're definitely old enough.

For only $80? I'm not sure that's going to inspire a police manhunt.

The Marlins have also signed Miguel Olivo. Look out.

I had a Nutrition and Disease course last year and one of the lectures was about anorexia. The lady who lectured that day said that in some people...using ipecac only one or two times can cause heart failure.

Not bad. Got a new car, moved back to NY and got a puppy. Not much else to report.

Word of the skit is spreading. It was referenced in an article I read on ESPN.com this morning.

I thought last night's Saturday Night Live was the funniest I've seen in a long, long time, and this was one of the best parts.

I thought the worst part was the dinosaur chase, the movie could have definitely lost that and that would have trimmed some time. It was just completely unbelievable, even in the context of this movie.

Yeah, I bought the Marge head. That one was nearly sold out while the alternative box was stacked to the brim. Guess this board isn't a representative sample.

Was there a new ep last night or is the half season over?

I think Ebert called it the best movie epic in years.

Javy Vasquez to the White Sox for El Duque, Vizcaino and OF projected mega stud Chris Young. Look out for the D-Backs? They certainly have a huge depth of position players in their farm system. Not just ok guys who might make it, but total "can't miss" studs like Stephen Drew, and potentially Justin Upton (he just needs to sign). They could be great in a few years.
