And if the casino quickly phases out all of their old high roller chips and replaces them with new ones, that guy sticks out like a sore thumb.

Oops, missed the 3rd page before posting. Anyway, I think those posts pretty much back up what I was thinking. Most of the more recent stuff that you mentioned seemed to all be covers/re-workings of those original classics. I've heard plenty of them, but at the end of the day, pretty much everyone is still going to associate those songs with the original versions.

I think I cried earlier today when I watched that clip.

Is there any good christmas song that isn't at least 40-50 years old? I'm just estimating with that number, but every song coming to mind right now that I like is very old. I tend to like the religious ones a bit more, so that could easily be influencing this observation.

I'd imagine that it's pretty easy to keep track of people who are legitimately getting those big chips in the casino. So this guy's only chance might be to go in with a large sum of cash to get some big chips, then sneak a few of the stolen ones in when he tries to cash out. Then again, if those stolen ones aren't marked in anyway, I bet the casino will mark the ones they do currently have. Then any unmarked ones immediately raise red flags.

Even though there were only two things in there that I wanted to watch, I always enjoyed those threads.

I still hate Hot Rod for that one.

The kid at the end? I loved it. That was easily the smartest thing done in the entire video. Yeah, probably an overreaction. A suspension and a permanent ban from the basketball team should be more than enough.

Not only that, but Rudolph and the Grinch aired at the same exact time. What a waste. Eh, I'm sure Michael Jackson left far worse scars for Culkin.

The zoom in on the eye seems like a variation of the spinning camera. I'm sure he's got a million more variations up his sleeve.

Thanks for the link. The one thing that wasn't completely clear from it was if they were indeed in an allowed spot. I'm guessing yes, but the picture doesn't show the width of the white sideline. Anyway, I have no doubt in my mind that those guys were in fact there to be an obstacle and I have absolutely no problem with it. We're talking about the world of professional sports where base runners try to steal the catchers signs, coaches have to cover their mouths when radioing in plays just in case someone can read their lips. How is this any different? Players and coaches in every sport have always done a countless number of things to potentially add a competitive advantage. A line of coaches standing in a spot where players aren't technically allowed to be is more of the same. Sticking out the knee though? That's where the line is clearly crossed.

If they're allowed to stand where they were standing, who really cares? How dare they break rules by following the rules. *Obviously this point is moot if they're not allowed to stand there.

Don't worry. Bay will distract you from those thoughts with a ton of explosions and crappy jokes.

I wish he hadn't tried to make a full team out of it. Seeing guys like Howard and Stupar on there really don't fit in with the whole story.

Don't get too attached to Terriers. It's getting the ax.

Maybe a paraplegic, but definitely not a quadriplegic. You do have to feed your family.

I'm not so sure what admitting you made the wrong pick accomplishes. Does it magically right the wrong and bring that missed pick back into the fold? All it does is create a cancerous situation (unless it lights a fire under the ass of that guy who was the "wrong pick"). I can see where a guy in Polian's shoes might have to say something since his team is a perennial contender. But with the Bills, if by some chance Spiller was in fact a big mistake, what difference does that "right pick" really make here, especially less than a year after it was made? 1 win?

I'm feeling the sudden urge to break out the old Intellivision and play Tron Deadly Discs.

I really wish they could suspend due to stupidity.

It would still have to be considered a fair matchup if both teams were trying to lose, right?

I have no idea who used it first, but they're both just a color swap of the Packers' logo. So add another layer to the possibilities in a situation like that. Anyway, I don't think I have much of a problem with this at all. If they had tried to get money out of it, then it would be a completely different story.

Check the batteries on the sarcasm detector

Speaking of Buffalo sports empires, that's another thing that needs to be brought back, a local sports television network. It's probably a money vacuum, but man do we need it. Yeah, but that's only because of that special rule that allows to to own in all three leagues. It's like a buy two, get one free deal.

Even if they wanted to, item 3 is not possible right now. The union would put up a huge fight. They need to start small like they are now. This should be another interesting thing to watch with the new CBA.

I'm trying to pro all the perks, so that gets in the way of shooting stuff down. I have everything but flak jacket pro. I need to throw back one single frag grenade, but no one ever uses them. Anyway, once that is done, I probably will be carrying the strela and going ghost full time. The secondaries are mostly useless, so there's no reason not to have a launcher. I just wish I could find the stupid spyplanes. Most of the time, I get killed as I'm searching the sky for one to shoot down. edit: Then again, when you get killed upon spawning 5 times in a row by a chopper gunner, you really have no way of shooting the damn thing down.
