  1. great find - syd barrett wrote that song but Gilmour is in the video - it must have been when Gilmour was not an official member of the band yet, but covered for Syd when he was unable to play due to his mental instability

     

    Here is another example of a "transition" performance. Notice the TV host in the background dancing - I thought that was funny as hell!

     

    BTW - this is one of my favorite floyd songs

     

    Let There Be More Light

     

    And another Floyd Fav: Cymbaline

  2. Elite XC is to MMA as Highschool Football is to the NFL.

     

    Want to expereince MMA - watch the UFC event on November 15 - Lesnar v. Couture.

     

    Lesnar appears to be unstoppable. I was actually surprised how well Randy wrestled with Lesnar in the clinch. There was a lot of strategic wrestling going on there between two masters. However, did anyone notice that when Randy tried to take Lesnar down that he could not reach around Brock's back. The dude is just too massive. Add his speed and he is a monster. The only heavyweights I see stopping him are Mir (who already did) and Gonzaga given their BJJ abilities.

     

    However, people need to get their head's checked if they think he has a remote chance against Fedor.

     

    Fedor would either knock him out (e.g. Tim Sylvia) or submit him in the first round.

  3. I both studied and worked abroad in London. I spent a semester there and then after I graduated I worked for a law office through a work exchange program.

     

    Bring electrical outlet converters! Bring lots and lots of money since the dollar is so weak (try to get a job under the table working in a pub so you can ear the domestic currency and you will meet all sorts of people - and beautiful women who will love your "Accent.")

     

    Buy a camping backpack for traveling and put a maple leaf patch on your back-pack. Just say you are canadian when asked.

  4. ome say Anderson Silva, Georges St. Pierre (my personal favorite fighter), Penn or Emelianenko Fedor.

     

    St. Pierre and Penn are my two favorite fighters and I think are tied for best pound-for-pound fighter.

     

    Now that BJ is taking his training seriously he is a threat to beat St. Pierre. I can't wait for that fight. I am looking forward to that one more than LEsnar v. Couture.

     

    And for what it is worth, Fedor would crush Randy. I think, (I know I may get crushed for this) Arlovski v. Fedor would be interesting.

  5. That was the first time I ever watched MMA and I wasn't impressed. I thought it was very weak. Kimbo was F'ed up by 2 punches, the one that took him down and one while he was down. All of the other punches were outright misses or just glancing blows. The guy who won the fight before that had his opponent down, and all he did was deliver weak love taps. Why not throw real punches? Boxing + WWE = MMA. :thumbsup:

  6. likely? really?

     

    Just curious what nuclear weapon we detonated when 3 planes were hijacked and crashed (or attempted) into our buildings?

     

    The talk of "useable nukes" or "tactical nukes" or "mini-nukes" (article here )was pursued by the Bush administration after 9-11. They wanted to use them as bunker busters.

     

    I don't trust McCain to use the restraint of Bush (ack! I can't believe I said that.). I think Mccain is unhinged. Just my opinion. He scares the crap out of me.

     

    Also, nobody can convince me he does not suffer from PTSD and is going untreated for it. I worked with survivors of torture in D.C. for a non-profit. There is no way you walk away from his experience as a well-adjusted person. It just does not happen.
