  1. I agree totally. I played for almost ten years as a kid (goal and sweeper). It was fun to play, but then as now watching soccer is akin to a root canal without novocaine.
  2. I looks more like the look Han gives Leia when he's about to be frozen in carbonite. "I love you." "I know."
  3. "His excellency hopes that you will die honorably.But should any of you wish to beg for mercy, the great Jabba the Hutt will now listen to your pleas." "3PO, you tell that slimy piece of worm ridden filth, he'll get no such pleasure from us!"
  4. What's that total in Yen? If only I knew where to find the currency exchange rate.
  5. Nevermind. It's for Dr. Mittelwerk at the hanso website. What a waste of five minutes.
  6. So I don't get it. You click the screens in the right order and you get the code "Heir Apparent". What is that for? A password?
  7. Even though the movie disturbs me... The scene in Goodfellas where DeNiro is in the phonebooth and hears about Tommy getting whacked. The look on Liotta's face while DeNiro is crying is priceless.
  8. HeHeHe. I think we should use the word trebuchet in conversation more often.
  9. Is it possible that the powerful leader of the Others that Henry Gale was talking about was actually Henry Gale himself? The fear he displayed seemed a little too over the top to me (and the fact that he has been just a bit liberal with the truth). I also wonder if the Dharma Initiative has some sort association with Hurley's mental ward (i.e. Could Hurley's doctor be employed by the DI?) Such a close association with the numbers and psychological research.
  10. Lets not forget the bottom line here, he did get the bug.
  11. I was just thinking that. I prefer my giant centipede well done. Those guys better be careful. Centipede venom is pretty dangerous.
  12. Not necessarily. Most missionaries I've known and talked to take Mark 16:15 very seriously (as Christians should) which says "...Go yet into all the world an preach the gospel." They are lead to go to these places to do just that. Many of the foreign missionaries I know most definitely don't like the idea of going so far from family and friends, but go anyway. They often risk their lives for the sake of the people they are trying to help. EDIT It has no bearing on their souls and getting to heaven. They do it because Christ commanded it.
  13. Can't remember his name for the life of me. I bet I'd remember it if I heard it. I remember he was an older fellow. He had a great story about losing his temper in traffic on one of the Mongolian streets. Drivers there are pretty bad I guess. Come to think of it, I think he was from the Rochester area.
  14. I met a missionary to Mongolia a few months ago at my church in Lancaster. That's a strange place to go. It's looks like a really unique experience. Is the Chapel going to be a traditional wood/concrete building like in the US or is it going to be one of the Gers (or Yurts) that they typically construct over there?
  15. "I shot him with a (word deleted) .410 shotgun twice," Martin told the dispatcher. Well, there's no doubt what the intent was. I don't think the first one was meant as a warning shot. In my home town when we were kids this old couple down the street would yell at us for just coming too close to their yard (we were on the sidewalk!). I always felt like they would snap like that. Kind of like those quiet suburban wierdos you always heard stories about. If it was that bad he could have used rock salt in the shotgun. An old neighbor of mine used it all the time on stray dogs. Every once in a while everything was quiet, then BLAM! Squeal Squeal! I never went trick-or-treating at his house.
  16. Let's not forget that KC is endorsed by votefortheworst.com. I wonder just how much pull these guys have.
  17. Excellent! How about: McCabe & Mr. Miller or Paint Your Wagon 2: Fuschia is Fabulous!
  18. I agree 100%. They all knew where the emergency shelters were. They had more than 24 hours to decide what to do. Worst case, all they needed to do was walk across town. They had AMPLE time to get out, or at least get to a shelter. And who's to say if there were buses carrying people out before the storm that these people would actually have taken them. I think regardless of the situation, people would have stayed, and we'd be in the same predicament.
