I came up with my own opinion - presenting ideas that had nothing to do with anything Al said, yet I'm still dangling from his nuts? Just because we happen to agree? Right.

Notice that none of these things involve leaving the house. NYU - that was years ago man. Years. And my original intentions with this thread were misinterpreted. I wanted people to list other things, hence the "things" part in the title. Oh well.

It has something to do with the fact that ever since Voldemort begged Dumbledore for the position many many years ago - no one has been able to hold the position for moe than one year and Snape has a more important agenda. I'm sure I'm missing details, but it's all explained in the "Half Blood Prince."

Well, other suggestions are welcome. Frigid Soul can certainly just kill himself any day now and just get it over with. He's already past step 1 of forgetting that the rest of the world exists and we all know the thought has crossed his mind at least once... if you were 3 bills, wouldn't it cross your mind too? I find the fact that I still have a very bad name on these boards after 3 years hilarious.

I just realized, how many episodes into the season, that Kristen Wiig is Dr. Pat from "The Joe Schmoe Show". Holy shit. Good for her.

Frigid Soul finally manning up and killing himself already.

Ha! Considering I don't live in Florida and have only been in the state once, I hope the team moves to a place that appreciates them. They also need to get Loria out of the owner's box...he just doesn't want to spend the money it's going to take to win. Let me put it this way...the way things are shaping up...if Delgado also goes, the Marlins will have a very young exciting team with a very young manager. Who knows what can happen? It could turn out great and all the prospects can contribute or they can be awful. At least it will be interesting.

Dallas Morning News is reporting that the deal will be finalized by Monday. Beckett/Lowell for Danks/Blalock. I'm not too thrilled about it, but Danks should be a good fit for Florida. Lowell will produce in Texas, I'm sure of it, and I'm practically convinced that Beckett is going to reel off 3 Cy Youngs. The talent is certainly there... Damn it.

No, I'm not an absolute homer. You're just wrong. Awww...baby doesn't like being told he's wrong. Better put me on his ignore list right next to other prominent items like self respect, females, and the outside world.

Josh Beckett has already proven he has what it takes. He carried a team throughout the entire 2003 playoffs, recording in succession: A CG season saving win against the Cubs in Game 5 of the NLCS. A relief appearance in Game 7 to shut the door of the NLCS. A strong outing in the World Series that was lost by the bullpen. And finally the CG Shutout victory over the Yankees to clinch the WS. He also happened to be 15-8 last year with 178.7 IP. Oh, and hello, he's 25 years old. Nolan Ryan had problems with blisters too early in his career and look how that turned out. The injuries Beckett has are blisters and abdominal strains - no problems with his arm or legs or anything that can have an effect on his pitching long term. To say he is equal with Blalock is one of three things: 1) Complete and total stupidity 2) Grasping on to the injury concept and trying to run with it when there isn't as much substance there as you would like or 3) Trying to argue with Al no matter the circumstance. Blalock straight up for Beckett - you gotta be fucking joking.

You think so? I'd rank Scott Olsen above Diamond, but that's it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> May have been slightly exaggerating with 5, but 1) Olsen 2) Josh Johnson 3) Chris Volstad 4) Aaron Thompson The last two are just a guess, but both project just as highly as Diamond - especially Volstad. I hate the trade.

Big rumor out of Miami that the Marlins may trade Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell to the Rangers for Hank Blalock and Thomas Diamond. I will throw up in my mouth if that happens. Blalock is awful away from their launching pad and the Marlins have no less than 5 pitchers in the minors who are more likely to be MLB stars than Diamond will ever be. Luckily, no one out of Texas has said anything about it..so I'm thinking it's garbage. It has to be, for my sanity.

Ten team league... I'm running away with it. QB: Bledsoe RB: Lamont Jordan RB: Clinton Portis RB: Domanick Davis WR: Plaxico Burress WR: Larry Fitzgerald TE: Jeremy Shockey K: Neil Rackers DST: Bears Bench: QB: Leftwich RB: Cadillac Williams RB: Michael Pittman WR: Reggie Wayne WR: Donte Stallworth WR: Joe Jurevicious WR: Drew Bennett WR: Ben Troupe DST: Bengals I had McNabb - traded him for Portis and Leftwich. Turned out to be a great move and I also traded Thomas Jones straight up for Shockey (as you can see - I don't need any RBs). Now I'm cofortably in first and I don't think it's gonna relinquish. We all put in $70 this year as well so It could be a happy January.

Wait a second, you haven't read the books? I have tickets to the 10:30 showing tonight. I bought tickets on Tuesday and this was the only one that wasn't sold out. Can't wait.

You know...that totally went right over my head.

And being shown pictures of Jesus Christ, even though it was 75 million years ago.

19. Every Friday, the greatest movie ever made is released...according to Downhome.

Yeah...that's what I was expecting.

Just got to this as my DVR failed and didn't tape the show last night. Luckily, my remote survived the brutal toss it took across the room. For the record, the $1.99 downloads of Lost from Apple are really good quality for the most part. It played perfectly full screen on my big ass 20' widescreen monitor. Anyway - great episode. I called the Goodwin swerve to my girlfriend early on - but damn I can't wait until next week. The downloaded episode didn't have next week's preview. What was in it?

The Blue Jays have offered AJ Burnett 5 years and 50 mil. There's so many things wrong there, I don't even have time to list them all.

1.... I'm gonna pull out my gun. 2.... I'm gonna shoot a bitch. 3....(door opens and R.Kelly steps in) Now I'm in the closet...yeah.

More good news for the cash strapped Marlins... Dontrelle Willis is expected to get the largest ever first year arbitration in MLB history - somewhere in the neighborhood of 4.5-5 million. And next year comes Cabrera. Oh god.

It's a little known fact that F. Scott Fitzgerald did not actually die from drugs and alcohol, but a roundhouse kick as a result of Chuck Norris finding "The Great Gatsby" pretentious.

Yeah. Somewhere in the middle. They played about 15 songs overall - can't think of any of their good songs that they missed.

Fuck that, almost none of what is in all of that yellow is a spoiler and it's not giving away ANY of the plot. It's just an interesting article that all Lost fans should want to read. If you want to be kept in the dark, don't read it, but it's not going to spoil anything.
