  1. I thought it was the Popular front??? Another thread killed for my resume...
  2. I just don't get it. Why do people love this person? For the record, that statue is so fuggly I think it should reside forever under the largest latrine in world history...
  3. There are LOTS of jewish folken in the US, many in high positions of power. That's likley a large part of it. Thread hijack: For the record, the Jews did not kill Christ, the Romans killed Christ. The Jews said it was cool with them, but they actually couldn't even wipe thier own bums in Judea at that time without a mandate from the Counsulate. Just my opinion...
  4. yeah, that sucks that I'll miss it. The little woman is playing in the national 9-ball tourney in LV that week...
  5. I am not sure why people would want to watch such a thing? I have ZERO interest in this movie, Flight 93 nor any other documovie on this subject. Not that I want to forget it, but I can see the clips for myself if I want. I don't need a movie to remind me of how I felt that day, just like I don't need the Passion to understand the torture Christ went through...
  6. It is now. Fifteen years ago, you wouldn't be caught dead there. Cause you would be dead. Seriously. You won't have any trouble now though. No idea on Catwalk and Panthers Lair. Haven't a clue. Carowinds will be hot, but I also have not been there for years, so I couldn't tell you much...
  7. Right, I couldn't remember the guy's name. My brother worked in the kitchen there for years, and Kirk would save a table for my family every sunday there in the back room for the Bills games. I haven't been in there for years. I used to work down the street at another sports bar in Matthews called Kristophers. Brings back the memories...
  8. Ah yes, the good old Township Grill. That was litterally the ONLY Bills place in the Charlotte area in the late 80's early 90's. You should have seen it in the hayday. Decent food though. Is it still owned by the same guy???
  9. Parking is pretty much a crap shoot. There is no real stadium lot per say, so you end up parking all over the downtown and walking to the stadium. This is a big reason why tailgating is such a mess. My advice is to find the cheapest, closest lot to the stadium and go with that. Probably 15-20 bucks is average. I never park in lots, my friend litterally has an apartment one block from the stadium. One of the big arguments about building that stadium in the downtown area was the parking situation. SOme people wanted them to just build the damn thing in Fort Mill but Richardson was hellbent on putting it uptown. I remember when they proposed to build it off Morehead street, and going "They want to put it WHERE???"
  10. Panthers games are completely sold out this year. You will have to buy from people selling outside the stadium. You should have no problem. I'll be about a block from the stadium at my buddy's apartment pregame partying with my brothers.
  11. Not sure, but I offered the guys working in my house essentially anything they wanted to drink and eat. I bought them a 12 pack to take with them after the job was done...
  12. what's the over/under on the length of time until he pulls his first "flop over on his back and flail like a fish" move??
  13. Wow, everyone's a critic today...
  14. Be carefull with watering. If you start watering the seed, you need to keep doing it. I prefer to let nature take it's course...
  15. No worries, Charlotte still has John Boy and Billy.
  16. Yeah, dethatching sux. You could make it easier by cutting the grass really low before you rake it. There are dethatching units you can rent. Definitely have the yard aerated if it hasn't been done in a while. THen seed the holy hell out of it this fall. I seed in mid-September. I also fertilize in September, October, November and December. You will need some weed control put on in March, and a second dose in june. I never fertilize in spring or summer, grass naturally grows at that time. If you feed it in winter, you will get great results, pending rainfall. Currently, my grass is fried from drought, but there is not much I can do about it, except wait. It will come back, it just goes dorment when there is no water. If you do decide to water, I suggest that you water in the early morning very deeply. Use a screwdriver to measure the soil penetration depth. When the screwdriver no longer easily penetrates to about four-six inches, water deeply again. If I water, I ususally water about twice a week. Lots of people water too little, too frequently. I see people in my neighborhood water every day, which is a waste. It is best to have a sprinkler system, but if you don't have one bust out with the hose sprinklers. Good luck...
  17. Yeah, he dropped weight alright. From his belly to his ass...
  18. Superman's powers (or limiting of them) depend on which source you are speaking of: ***WARNING*** CONFUSING NERD SPEAK FORTHCOMING The Superman that made his debut in Action Comics #1 in 1938 is very different from the one you would know if you picked up a copy of the comic today. The original Superman is known as the Earth-2 Superman in comics. He is generally referred to as the Golden Age Superman. He was sent from Krypton as an infant by his father and was raised by the Kents in Kansas. This Superman’s powers grew exponentially as time passed, in Action Comics #1 circa 1938, Superman could only “leap tall buildings” and not fly. This is the superman that can fly around the Earth to reverse time, hold his breath indefinitely in space, and vibrates his face super fast to stop people from clearly photographing his face. The Superman of the late 1950’s to the mid 1980’s can be referred to as the Silver Age Superman, also known as the Earth-1 Superman. This Superman was sent to Earth as a toddler to be raised by the Kents. Although the Earth –2 Superman also existed as Superboy, it is generally the Silver Age Superman whose career as Superboy is best known. Superman’s power became so great, it was difficult for writers to put him in situations where he could conceivable be defeated. Another annoying trend, was the ability for a criminal to seemingly pick up a piece of Kryptonite off the ground, as there was tons of it in all colors (and effects on powers) of the rainbow. Confused yet? So was everyone else in the world. That’s why in 1985, DC comics had a miniseries that erased all these parallel worlds (referred to as the Multiverse) and established one Earth and one continuity for Superman and all the other heroes. The Earth-2 Superman and his wife (Lois Lane, of course) went off to a paradise world, the Earth-1 Superman is retired and a new Superman, one with a very different origin and vastly different powers. Beginning with the miniseries “The Man of Steel” in 1986, Superman was sent from Krypton as an unborn fetus. He is not actually born until he got to Earth, and in the presence of Jonathon and Martha Kent. The young Superman never had a career as Superboy, and it took time for him to gain his superpowers. The first display of his powers occurred when Clark was about four and his baseball rolled under his father’s tractor. The little boy walked over to the tractor and effortlessly picked it up to retrieve his toy. This Superman was never a loser or a bumbler in school as was the previous incarnations, and the one shown in the classic movies. In fact, he was the star football player in high school. In this reality, his parents never died and help him with dealing with the pressures of being Superman. This Superman cannot fly in space for extended periods of time. Early on, he barely survives a nuclear explosion. The sun also must recharge him from time to time (this is essentially how he cheated death in the famous “Death of Superman” stories). His powers are not infinite; he cannot reverse time like the Earth –1 and –2 Supermen. They also removed all Kryptonite except what powered his spacecraft that brought him to Earth. Most importantly, it is unclear if Superman can reproduce with humans. He is currently (I think) married to Lois Lane. I have heard that DC has recently revamped the character again, but I lost interest when they turned him into Firestorm in the mid 1990’s. I suppose you could say that Superman of the movies is likely more like the Silver Age Superman. He didn’t really develop powers until he was about five or six, and after prolonged exposure to the yellow sun. It is my personal belief that the son of Superman in the recent movie is just beginning to exhibit powers due to the fact that he is only half Kryptonian and it took that long for him to store enough solar energy to begin manifesting his powers. It was also initiated by extreme panic and sense of danger.
  19. Indeed. See the ghastly orange sleeve VT jerseys and the abortions that were the Florida Gator jerseys...
  20. Hmmm, I thought it was a piece of Krypton he brought back with him...
  21. I agree. Lebanon in effect wrote a check thier @sses couldn't cash...
  22. It is legitimate in some cases. We just took our dog in for cleaning, it cost about 250 bucks. The breakdown someone just gave you is accurate. It really depends on how important your animal's health and comfort are to you. And I find parasites (cats) to be the stupidest animals on planet earth. My cat is about as intelligent as a retarded clam. Well, in truth, it's not that cats are THAT stupid, it's that they are stupid AND incredibly apathetic to anything you do besides feed them...
  23. Can I sue her for causing me harm and distress? Also, I actually feel dumber after hearing her arguement. MY GOD, WHEN WILL THIS INSANITY STOP??????
  24. I don't know what truly transpired in this incident. But I have found that many instances of "racism" are exactly what Chappelle pointed out in one of his lost episodes: Many times, it's not that you are being treated badly because of your race, it's because you are acting like a fuggin @sshole-io....
