Kid Gleason

I saw the clips on CNN as they tightened the noose. He didn't look defeated, nor did he look afraid, nor did he look like a raving madman (other than looking like Saddam...which I guess is a raving madman). He spoke with a few of the executioners, and it looked like they explained what he needed to do. He seemed very cooperative.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 29, 2006 -> 11:54 AM) I got 32 or them the first go-round, and there's at least 6 more of them that are on the tip of my brain. Anybody besides me get the fourth one in the top row? It's not that tough. I need to get going though, my supper's ready. 3rd row, sixth album might actually be the toughest one on here. It surprised me to see it there and should keep most people from hitting a perfect score. I know almost all of them by bands, but the album titles are escaping me. Is it cheating if I go to Amazon to search for the titles? I haven't yet.

Oddly, there is no listing for the Bears there. What am I doing wrong?

Hey gang, I'm out of town and my brother-in-law wants to be watching the game right now, and it isn't being broadcast. Anybody know of a free way of watching onlilne???

You're welcome!

It's only really worth mentioning and being called "longest night" if they add a couple hours to it to really make it the "longest". Otherwise it's just dark for a longer perion, but its the same damn number of hours between getting off of work and having to head back to work.

Anybody who is into the Blues (both of the Chicago style and of the old Delta style) or the great Motown style of R&B needs to check out Willie Phoenix: http://www.williephoenix.com/ His first album is more straight Blues, while the second dips into late 60's sounding Motown. The guy is killer, and he has a new one about to be released. Check him out if you get the need for some great tunes!

You might want to look into a psychiatrist. I'd recommend: But you would probably spend your whole session hitting on her.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Dec 20, 2006 -> 06:42 PM) Talladega is in this category too. I just think its an aquired taste. I'll give you that. I haven't seen Talladega, but it does look to be very similar to Anchorman. Same team, right? Anchorman is definitley in its own style. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Dec 20, 2006 -> 07:11 PM) Are you kidding me? I thought it was pretty short and felt they rushed the fact everyone found out he was a virgin. I tried to watch LOTR: Two Towers or whatever, but I fell asleep twice during one viewing of the movie. Nope, I'm not kidding at all. This isn't a praise of LOTR, though I did enjoy them the first time I saw them. I just felt that Virgin really dragged by the end. On a side note, a buddy and I were talking the other day about characters in films. Does anybody else feel that the "Steve The Pirate" character in Dodgeball is one of the most pointless characters ever devised for a movie?

Napolean Dynamite = Bad Wes Anderson rip-off but without the intelligence or heart. Terrible movie and all of it's "great lines" are complete throw-aways. I don't understand the following it gets. Anchorman has it's moments. I would never call that movie "dry". 40 Year Old Virgin could have been great, but the fact that it's running length makes Lord Of The Rings (yes, the whole trilogy) feel like a friggin' Tom and Jerry short hurts it something terrible. I liked it, but by the time it ended I was really ready for it to end.

I'm guessing it's his mom, or that one friend of his.

Empire Carpets = One of the worst companies ever created. We got their carpet, within 2 weeks the carpet was destroyed. They claimed my wife and I did it and refused to do anything about it. They were rude on the phone and never even came to check out our problem. Pure trash.

I'm satisfied with them, just do not start returning them too fast or they will hold them on you for a bit. BUT, that being said, Netflix + DVD burner = , or so I have been told by people I have run into on the streets...scary people, the kind I won't associate with.

Music by far, but I have also recieved a ton of that for free...through many ways. Movies probably next, with books right behind that. Inbetween music and movies though, even though it isn't "media", I have spent the most money collecting toys.

The Boogie Man Will Get You is cinematic gold that people just don't know about. Karloff and Lorre in a brilliant slapstick dark comedy that predates Comedy Of Terrors and The Raven by 2 decades!

Aside from being Michael's nemesis, what is Toby's role? He seems to be the only "untouchable" person within the company.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 18, 2006 -> 09:58 AM) it's so done. it's so processed. it's so expected. that's my problem. So...is it O.K. for a band to just wear normal t-shirts or plain old shirts? If it's the way you dress, everyday all day, then how is that "so done"? I buy the clothes I like, I spend time in the morning deciding what to wear because I like to dress and appear a certain way. I know these guys walk out the door to go to the store in the same thing they walk on stage with. So, really, what you are wearing now is no different than what they are wearing right now. It's them. It's no different than what Pearl Jam or Dave Matthews wears. They don't have "stage clothes".

How dangerous are these rescue missions for the rescue teams?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 18, 2006 -> 08:10 AM) What do you mean by "other two not missing"? They were found??? Odd typo I would guess, as they are still missing.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 17, 2006 -> 10:18 PM) the only problem i have is that I HATE when band people put on costumes to be anything other than funny or ironic. I'm guessing the McRackins are being the former. The Valentine Failures. however, have no excuse and dress soooooooo lame. Glad you liked the tunes, that's what's most important. As for the style of dress, yes McRackins have a silly image and get called on it quite a bit. But they have been doing it for almost 15 years now...soooo...who knows? I fail to see the problem with how Valentine dresses though. There is no costume there, and they dress like that from the moment of waking until going to bed. It's not a costume and they dress pretty much like many other people within the style of music. Hell, I dress similar to them.

I don't like these lists. There is no way anybody could have heard every album released this year, not even in your prefered style of music. But of what I have heard, the two best are: The Valentine Failures - Hearts, Halos, Hate: 5 songs (one cover) of blistering energy and killer riffs and vocals. http://www.myspace.com/thevalentinefailures McRackins - Bat Out Of Shell: Some of the best damn songwriting and layering I have ever heard, and there is no autotune on the backing vocals. The backing vocals and harmonies would make Brian Wilson proud. Beach Boy fans take note of this band on this album. http://www.myspace.com/themcrackins

QUOTE(mreye @ Dec 16, 2006 -> 08:50 AM) Really cool. While 2 wasn't the greatest, I still think this group of movies stands up with some of the best - Indiana Jones, Rocky, Star Wars. I thought 3 was very close to being better than the first one. It's weird, so many people consider 2 he worst, whereas it might be my favorite. I like it more than the third by a long shot.

I'll say it again, this Tank guy is a twit. This is fascinating stuff though.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 15, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) credit where credit is due... "hugs not Jihad" is comedic gold O.K., so where is the "credit"? Who wrote that?
