NUKE_CLEVELAND

You have no idea how that pissed me off when I was a little guy. Right when I was all set to watch Transformers or G.I. Joe or Thundercats the freekin Flubbs would start playing. What made it worse is when it was raining and they put those shows on during the delay, then right when the cartoons got good the game would start back up again.

I became a Sox fan back in 1983 when I was 5. Why? Cause they kicked ass then and they kick ass now!!! LETS GO SOX!!!!!!

A little early to say something like that but a start like he's had cant hurt.

Hey man, how's things going over there? Where do they have you stationed?

As far as I'm concerned, the Big Skirt can stay on the DL as long as he wants to. At least now that he's hurt he has a reason to cry.

What we needed, as was the case last year, was someone we didn't expect to do anything to step up and contribute. Looks to me in this young season that Shoe is the man. He defenitely gets props from me for that.

Flyers take game 1 against the Maple Laffs 3-1 behind goals from Tony Amonte, Simon Gagne and Marcus Raggnarson. I couldn't watch the game but from what I read the Flyers handled the Leafs pretty well. Also it seemed like the Leafs were a little beat up. Anybody see anything different? LETS GO FLYERS!!!

Whoever write these power rankings has the most awesome sense of humor.

He has been this years pleasant surprise so far. i'm not saying he's the next Loaiza but he's certainly holding his own so far this season. Hope he can keep it up.

I never accused radical islamists of being very bright but this is another example from Fallujah.

Kinda tough when you're surrounded on 3 sides by a bunch of folks who are sworn to annihilate your nation huh?

I know we've got some blood on our hands but we'd have to have to murder many many millions more to even come close to the names I mentioned. Every nation has some blood on its hands but I think the good we do in the world far outweighs the black marks we have riding on our shirts.

LETS GO FLYERS!!!!!!!! Not that I like Philly all that much, I just want to see JR and Tony Amonte win a cup. They deserve it after suffering in Chicago as long as they did.

That's the most outrageous and asinine statement I've ever seen on these boards and I've seen some whoppers in my time here. You tell me that we've shed more blood around the world than the Nazi's? More than the Soviets? More than the Romans? More than the Mongolians? More than the Barbarians? More than the Serbs and Croats? More than ( Insert African nation here (Rwanda comes to mind) )? More than the............... I think we're pretty far down the list of bloodthirsty nations in human history there turbo.

If Osama Bin Laden was dumb enough to attend a funeral and stand out there in the open I'd plaster the whole place with every aircraft I had on station. Isreal is in the same boat as we are and I4E is right. Opportunities to take out the leadership of your arch enemy do not present themselves often.

How's bout locking this waste of bandwidth SS2K?

Jeez, talk about desperate.

Does he wear kneepads too?

When you hug a tree, unless you are very careful, you will knock some bark off thusly hurting the tree and degrading it's ability to protect itself from the elements. You have your answer.

I was being sarcastic in case you failed to grasp that. I would say that you wouldn't last 5 minutes over there but then I realized that the insurgents would be too paralyzed with laughter at the sight of you that they wouldn't be able to do much.

Some-body's lost their maaaarrrrrrrbles Some-body's lost their maaaarrrrrrrbles Some-body's lost their maaaarrrrrrrbles LOL!

Dammit! Just when I was gonna ask Rafacosta to strap on some body armor and join us in Iraq.

Because I make my living defending human freedom......... What is it you do with your time besides being annoying and working on your english skills?

I'm a terrorist remember? Shouldn't I be strapping a bomb to my chest and walking into a crowded restaurant with a detonater in hand instead of working with a trusted ally? Oh wait............

YEAH!! I'm the only terrorist around here. Get it right!!!
