  1. Chemical Castration of Child Rapist Nasty thing to think about, but corrective justice is always preferable to retributive justice.
  2. My vote was punter, but I think the running back is the 2nd best option...anything equal or better than 2nd and 7, 3rd and 4, or 4th and 2 is an automatic first down and you'd dominate time of possession every single game. Of course, those games would be boring as hell.
  3. Going hipster here but I don't care...loved Michelle since before she was popular, as she got her break on the YES Network. Good to see we can now enjoy her with the "Mute" option off.
  4. Choose wisely. EDIT: In regards to Robo-Halfback, 2.5 yards on every down would be too obvious a choice.
  5. I wonder about this. Will the trigger be Jesse finding out about the poison, or Walt finally slipping up and revealing that he didn't save Jane? Or both? Or something else entirely? God, I'm excited.
  6. At some point, yes, but they left off on good terms. I wonder if Mike is going to return with an axe to grind.
  7. So...with the departure of Gus, is there even a chance that Walt's next foil lives up to him?
  8. Haha, glad somebody caught it. Also, Mia Wasikowska
  9. Just saw Albert Nobbs. Wow. A little slow at times, but Glenn Close...man oh man.
  10. The Spurs are incredible. Down by 24. Meh, just another day at the office.
  11. Hmmm. Well countered, but allow me to rebutt. So let's say there are aliens who like to occasionally swoop by and observe us from a distance. For research purposes. Why is it that these aliens are perpetually careless enough to be spotted by a couple Bubbas in the sticks, but never 100 people in the suburbs? Or thousands in a city? (You'd have to assume they'd be more intrigued by our metropolises) If 100 people witness something simultaneously and have similar stories about what happened, it would give serious pause to my skepticism. It's sorta like Bigfoot...EVERYBODY'S picture is blurry? As for the second point, I agree on the altruism thing.
  12. The question I always ask - If the Earth has indeed been visited by aliens and there have been eye-witnesses of these events, why is there never EVER enough corroboration to even vaguely consider the event a historical fact? And on a more theoretical level, consider this; A race that has developed the intelligence, technology and longevity to master interstellar travel could only be interested in pathetic Earth for its resources. As far as we know, the planet hasn't been milked of anything.
  13. That's a good movie. Giamatti is great...check out American Splendor if you haven't.
  14. Family, Career, Flying Spaghetti Monster.
  15. It's simple. If Kelsay was the EXACT same player, playing the role of a hard-working depth DE who came in and contributed a small handful of sacks on a winning team, he'd be downright beloved. As a below average starting DE who contributes a small handful of sacks on a losing team, he's reviled. People need to ask themselves, "Is it Chris Kelsay's fault that the Bills took 9 years to find a pair of better pass-rushers?" And really, only time will tell if Anderson is better.
  16. One of my favorite books (used to read it over and over when I was 13-15). But I have absolutely no idea where to find the movie...any clue?
  17. Like others said, you can't top a dog... but if we're going for the chance to get something unusual, I'd like a penguin.
  18. Good job, Selmon. This is a movie I never really had interest in, but you've convinced me to at least give it a shot. I really like Del Toro, too, which helps. Now, as for the assertion that it's better than The King's Speech...well...I'll remain cynical there.
  19. I really like the film adaptation of Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. It's on Netflix streaming if you subscribe.
  20. Yeah, but the REAL whitewashing was in Tom Sawyer.
  21. It's funny. For all the assumptions about players declining into their mid-30's, we might just see a Spurs-Celtics Final.
  22. The Heat will continue to pay for a lack of depth.
  23. I think you've captured the gist of the problem here...we're overly concerned with what things represent symbolically, as opposed to what they actually mean in context.
  24. Chapter 2 Sage and Poojer got back to the lair in the 2000 Oldsmobile Alero that Sage had been leasing. Poojer accidentally ate some peanuts and died. Like all vampires, Poojer was allergic to peanuts. Sage dragged dev/null out of the trunk. He took him by the slippery toad leg and said "C'mon dude, get out of the trunk." dev/null said "Bllarsasdsgdadag" because his tongue had been ripped off. Sage said. "What? I can't understand you. What are you saying? Oh yeah, your tongue. Sorry." "Bllasdfalsdjfsdag" "This is going to get annoying". So Sage gave dev/null his tongue back. Somehow. He said "dev/null, what happened? We used to be friends. And then my Legion and your Legion just...drifted apart. Was it because I didn't invite Tom to my birthday party?" "Well, that didn't help", said dev/null. "Thanks for the tongue back." "It wasn't anything personal," said Sage. "I just wanted to keep it exclusive to werewolves, you know?" "I understand," said dev/null, hopping out of the trunk. "But I'm sure you can understand why Tom was upset. You guys were close." "Yeah, I guess so," said Sage. "I was a real jerk. I should apologize. For the birthday party and all this fighting. I just want things to be back the way they were. Say, would you care for some tea?" "Sure," said dev/null, with a smile. "What have you got?" "Oolong." "Fine by me." "How's your mother these days?" "Oh, you know. The usual. She's convinced the maid is trying to poison her!" "Ahh, Moms." Sage and dev/null drank their tea in peace, staring deeply into the others' eyes. Things had certainly changed since that summer in Cabo - a change that was probably irrevocable, but neither was willing to let those words escape his lips. They thought about the passage of time and about how people change. And about their old friend Poojer. They sat and thought and drank their tea. They fell asleep a few minutes later, each knowing that life would never quite be the same. To be Continued.....
  25. Being a younger fan, this is my greatest Bills memory. Sad that it came during a 6-10 season, but so it goes.
