  1. Howz come Mickey isn't in on the brown shirt with khaki shorts thingie?
  2. http://www.djournal.com/pages/story.asp?ID...&div=Sports
  3. I was thinking "He rides bicycles." I was riding a bicycle.
  4. He couldn't say, make a digital copy of it? In this day and age? I guess that wouldn't be dramatic enough. I do enjoy his films and will see this one. Also, I don't agree with this. What would you call them?
  5. Does who want to take what risk, really? The Cuban trade embargo is stupid. However, Moore did go to Cuba and risked harassment from the Treasury department. There is no more risk to take now. There is 0 chance that they will "confiscate" (confiscating a film these days is nearly impossible) the movie. It would reek of censorship and be the best possible publicity. There is a slight chance that they would impose a steep fine or appropriate the profits, but that's really something else entirely. Moore is trying to build buzz for the film--something he is excellent at.
  6. Congrats to the Pistons. The better team won. Hopefully the Bulls will get an interior scorer and they'll meet late next year.
  7. It might be worth pointing out that Stern's marketing techniques, specifically exploiting Michael Jordan's fame overseas, have significantly improved the overall level of competition, imo.
  8. Stern is far and away the best commissioner in any major American sport. Not for things like this, though.
  9. Science fact. 100% verified. I don't think he was ever banned so you wonder why the transformation.
  10. Damn, I love the hell out of Tyrus Thomas. And I think 'Sheed is my favorite non-Bull in the league. "You know that ain't right."
  11. Yes, I am a mailman. Although I am a casual carrier--which means significantly lower pay, no benefits, working 6 days a week for ~6 hours instead of 5 for ~8 (+potential overtime for a 6th). The plus side is that I have no uniform allowance, which means I don't have to wear a uniform. Also, it means that they have to move me to another "trade" if I work as a carrier for a consecutive six months. I could become a bona fide real boy/mailman by taking the postal exam and getting hired on somewhere, but supposedly there is a hiring freeze. However, I know that some people are getting hired on p
  12. Eh, opinions are like assholes--circular.
  13. Well, at least he has some kinship with Wilco in that they're both making the cheesiest music of their careers. What? Did anyone hear something? Must've been a gnat or some such.
  14. I wasn't referring to anything. Just making stuff up. Let us know when/if you'll be around.
  15. Whenever you're in town. You're making a royal tour of the country on your honeymoon, right?
  16. Balderdash (which has apparently been changed around a bit) and Cranium: Conga
  17. Thank you, thank you all. We had a birthday/mother's day combo barbecue. There were games played, Denver chocolate pudding eaten, etc. The haul included some board games, a crazy blender, a strange bottle of vodka, clothes, MST3Ks, a book about Clarence Thomas, that cookbook that that awesome chick pea soup came from, etc. Pretty legendary. Oh, and a Bulls win. All in all, a nice day to be alive.
  18. Never seen the show, but I wanted to commend you on your judicious use of the search function.
  19. Wait, is this the episode that's showing on Monday night for May sweeps? That might explain why it's not on the schedule.
  20. What time is it on? I need to set my DVR.
  21. If you cut out scenes from about 10 different planets (specifically that montage involving the storm troopers betraying the jedi all across the galaxy), the aforementioned noooo, and anything involving General Grievous, the last prequel was pretty decent.
