    New Pink Floyd Album and Tour?

    in Off the Wall Archives

    Posted

    I like much of the vintage Pink Floyd stuff. This new thing sounds like a hot ripe turd to me. Some noodly reworkings of outtakes from the Division Bell? Ambient...instrumental...? No thanks.

     

    The title, "The Endless River" sounds like it was named after their marketing strategy.

     

    I am biased because I am a huge Floyd fan, but "bad" floyd (i would argue that there is no bad floyd) is like bad sex - it is still awesome!

    Big Trade Help Needed

    No, that makes your team worse. The Saints run a Pats-syle offense (lots of passing, multiple backs) so Ingram is not a feature back. Plus, he's been just ok thus far. I wouldn't want to start him outside of a bye week.

     

    Newtown might be your best QB (at least from a fantasy perspective), so giving up him and Rice (who is dominant, esp in a PPR league) is just too much for Johnson. Maybe if he offers you a true starting RB plus Johson I'd consider it.

     

    What about Rice and Bradford for Johnson and Hightower (I have Helu)

    My team is weak at WR. Currently I am starting Brandon Marshall, Donald Driver, and Mike Thomas. I am strong at RB with Rice and McCoy.

     

    I have been offered this trade: Ray Rice and Cam Newton for Andre Johnson and Mark Ingram.

     

    A few more details. We are a 12 team keeper league. To keep a player you have to give up a draft pick two picks above where the player was chosen last season. So, for example, I drafted Newton in the 13th round so I would have to give up an 11th round pick next year to keep him. Ingram can be kept for a 5th round pick.

     

    At RB, if the trade were to go through, I would have to start Helu or Ingram. I have Josh Freeman and Sam Bradford at QB.

     

    Should I pull the trigger given my poor WR's?

    Yep, I had just grabbed the link. I should also mention that McDonalds was at fault to a degree as they had been warned repeatedly that their coffee was too hot. IIRC some bean counter counted up how much it would cost to replace all the coffee machines vs potential lawsuits. They were aware of the issue and decided to do nothing as it would be cheaper.

     

    Also, McDonalds pissed off the jury further by arguing to the jury that the 80 year old plaintiff did not need her vagina anyway (seriously).

    Worst Concerts that you saw...

    For some insane reason I saw Billy Joel in like 1993. Holy god. As much as I despise Billy Joel, live he's even worse. There were a lot of empty Applebees in Syracuse that night.

     

    That concert was my first date with my wife. Whenever she is pissed at me, I always throw that concert experience back at her. How can she be mad when I bought the tickets and took her to the worst concert of all time, and pretended to like it.

     

    Billy Joel is satin and now I am f-ing married with children. Thanks a f-ing lot Piano Man! :bag:

    Terrible boring night. silva is a prick, but until someone knocks his block off, he'll continue to be that way.

     

    HE won't be able to dance around like a WWE wrestler when he taken down by GSP and stays there for five rounds

    I fugging hate Anderson Silva. He looked like an ass with his taunting in the first two rounds. I hope to god that he fights GSP - St. Pierre won't let him dance around and throw his chin out to taunt him.

    Real or Fake?

    I don't know if this is real or fake either, but I have been watching that Ghost Adventures show on the Travel Channel, and they get some very compelling evidence at times. It's entertaining as hell, cause their approach is to antagonize the, uh, "things", and try to capture evidence of the paranormal. They recently had some device that transforms energy from outside the visible spectrum of light into something we're able to see, and they caught some really creepy images.

     

    I've seen a couple of the other ghost shows and ended up having to call "BS", but this one is a lot of fun.

     

    I do not believe in ghosts. The math does not work out. How many humans have lived and died on this earth since the first humans came into existance? hundreds of billions, trillions? I don't know but it is a lot.

     

    Lets assume that 500 billion people have lived on this earth and died. If ghosts existed wouldn't we see them everywhere? Maybe not all dead people turn into ghosts (why? who the F knows). Lets assume one percent of dead people turn into ghosts. That would mean there would be 5 billion ghosts - and yet only weird red-headed (they all seem to have red hair) "mediums" or "sensitives" can see him.

     

    It does not make sense to me.

     

    The best show about ghosts is Ghost Hunters International. Here you have a group of Americans sitting in dark buildings in Europe speaking English to foreign ghosts and pretending they are getting answers. How dumb.
