  1. Pussification on the NFL and America continues
  2. and hell yes
  3. I have seen many, many concerts on my lifetime- and have to say chilli peppers mothers milk tour is far and away the best concert I have seen! Their energy was incredible. Kiedas was doing back flips and running around on stage doing a handstand, flea was everywhere, they were loud, it was beautigul
  4. Karmac- how do you know if it is a snowman or snow woman?
  5. agree. Trade down, draft Cyril Richardson late first, and stockpile 2nd and 3rd round picks, 80+Jr have declared for draft- it is very deep and deep on oline
  6. I choose Mack or Barr if either is available. If not, trade down(multiple times if possible) and load up on 2nd and 3rd round picks
  7. Awesome choice! The Chili Peppers last few albums have been stellar. The NFL finally did something right
  8. Amen. No running back to root for Bills when we kick ass next year. A Bills fan is resilient and loyal. You are not cut from that cloth
  9. Man these things have been a nuisance over the years. The cider vinegar, dash dishsoap, in a jar with plastic wrap with holes works ok. But my question is proactive. Is there anything I can do- ie spray fruit with vinegar, store fruit in fridge, etc- that can prevent fruit flies to begin with? I am nervous to bring fruit in, after finally ridding myself of the the fruit flies for the 10th time
  10. As long as people pay money to watch unimaginative drivel at the theater, they will continue to release **** movie after **** movie. The **** that they put out- its on you ithe moviegoer
  11. based on Conrad's Heart of Darkness- which takes place in Congo
  12. He is looking for Kurtz
  13. http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2013/12/11/250240941/episode-502-the-afterlife-of-a-t-shirt
  14. NPR's show Planet Money did a fascinating three part show on the life of a tshirt The first two episodes told of how it was materials were gathered, it was sewed, distributed, etc in Bangledesh, amongst other places. It was truly global in scope. The third episode told the story of a man in his mid-20s who donated his old HS lacrosse jersey #5 to Goodwill. Fast forward a few years, he goes on a humanitarian mission to Africa, and sees someone wearing his old Jersey! The episode then explains how Tshirts donated take on a whole new life after they leave goodwill, etc. Goodwill ships off unsold clothes to say Congo. A man goes and picks out what shirts he thinks would sell, and pays about $1 a shirt. Problem is Americans are XXL, and Africans are M. So someonecuts the sides off the shirt, and makes .10 cents a shirt. Then a seamstress sews the shirt back together for .12 cents, often with scrap fabric from another shirt. It takes on a whole new supply chain. The shirt is then sold for say $2. And the tshirts are a hipsters dream. Motorhead, Jen's Bar Mitzvah, Tony's Pizza, and yes, even Trent Edwards are some of the tshirts you might see...
  15. Arod must be one of the most disliked players already. This is going to get ugly. Arod won't go away quietly. He just might make a mockery out of spring training if he show up
  16. IMO Johnny U and Peyton are the two greatest. I put Archie in the top 5 too. Pretty remarkable what he did with no oline, no RBs, no WR. He was tough, mobile, smart, and had a cannon arm
  17. I dig the blues, especially old delta blues. Tommy Johnson would make drink sterno aka canned heat. Hence the inspiration for the band Canned Heat. They said it was a medical miracle that Tommy Johnson lived as long as he did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ7o34UZyXQ
  18. I suggest you go eat along the Curry Mile on Rusholme Street before spewing such ignorance.
  19. What would you like to make? Indians love double marinades. In the past I have spiced up yogurt, marinated overnight, then putting a second rub on and baking it. You can sustitute terractotta pot for the tandori pot. I don't have time now, but I have a good naan recipe that is easy. Make that, and many dipping sauces. Make it spicy, and have cold indian beer to accompany
  20. http://www.deadmalls.com/stories.html ghetto websight but interesting. This was featured on NPR
  21. I will check it out, thanks. I find urban decay fascinating and strangly beautiful. The MC5 producer was giving a tour of Detroit by car, and explained "Athens has ruins, Rome has ruins, Detroit's are bigger"
  22. Cool video. In Berlin, artistic squatters repurposed an old bombed out factory and put in 3 bars(one with a fire breathing dragon), 2 coffee shops, one movie theater, a half dozen gigantic art gallerys, apartments, they projected 4 storie images onto the side of the building, and it is one of the coolest places I have been. Never underestimate artists. Detroit has plenty of free studios everywhere. And Detroit has many creative souls. If you are in a band living in Detroit- jam out in huge vacant buildings, play as loud as you want, and get some cool acoustics. From the city that gifted the world Motown, Techno, Punk,, MC5, White Stripes, Stooges, Madonna, John Lee Hooker, Eminem, Stevie Wonder.....Detroit will continue to be a hotbed for creativity and genius I root for Detroit too!
  23. impressive. I have no idea how she chewed that steak so fast. I think I could do compeitive eating. I hit a wall though at 5-6 pounds steak. Barbeque judges are said to put down 7#s at competitions. I love when petite females best their obese male counterparts at compeitive eating!
