QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 05:43 PM) The fact that Lebron said Joakim Noah seeks out attention is one of the most mind blowingly ironic things of all time lol... yeah... seriously. Like LeBron is soooo camera-shy. Right.

Yeah, totally fell apart and I lost interest. I said 5 games, this is the one they'll lose in Chicago, barring an epic comeback, and they'll lose in Cleveland too.

Man do I hate when the Bears don't draft an OL until the end of the draft.

Ozzie: “I think I found the trick, I think they play better without Ozzie managing. I think they swing the bat better." I know Ozzie was joking like always, but umm... for real, just saying...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 12:48 AM) What did you buy it at, Keith? $232 I think. Closed at $270 on Friday, it really took off once the iPad sales started rolling in.

Yeah, I didn't think it was going to skyrocket so fast, if I sold now I'd already make like $200 on just a handful of shares and I don't even know if I've had it a full month yet. I was thinking I was going to buy it and hold it for several months and it'd be a steady climb. I think there is still some fuel left on this train though.

Aardsma's reaction was pretty funny. Like "oh f*** it."

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) There are a lot of "Experience" movies over the last few years. A lot of films that impress in 3D or IMAX or just on a huge screen in a theater setting but transfer poorly to home viewing on most average viewers' entertainment setups. Avatar, Cloverfield, The Dark Knight, and a lot of the kids 3D stuff like Monsters vs Aliens. The Dark Knight? Are you stoned? QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 10:30 PM) Well im not saying that the movie isn't good, because I haven't seen it.. I am just saying that the reason I have yet to see it was because it just doesn't look good to me, I don't know why.. doesn't look like ide enjoy it.. And yes, Kick Ass was awesome.. I didn't really expect to like it either. I think my wife wants to watch it again but I don't really want to sit down for another 2 1/2 hours. I might watch it again when it comes out in 3D, and after I get a 3D TV but that's not gonna be for another couple of years.

I don't know what your definition of stupid is but you just have to watch it to see for yourself I guess. It gets better and better as the movie goes on. Only complaint I had was that it was long as hell but it wasn't like Transformers 2 pointless kind of long.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 11:30 PM) It'll be interesting to see if Wright can stay healthy at the NFL level. He loves to go for the big hits but he is on the small side. Isn't that pretty much all safeties? I mean it's not like Sean Taylor was a hulking behemoth of a man and he's the tallest one I can think of, and we know Taylor was never afraid of the big hit either. They're all about 6 feet 200 lbs, give or take. Wright seems about exactly average size.

Also "stare down the opponents' bench after shots"

last person in the entire world to see Avatar, here. I got the Blu-Ray yesterday (I know this is a bare-bones version but I don't really give a f*** about extra features or whatever). I was worried it wouldn't live up to all the hype and I'd be disappointed but it was pretty damn awesome.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) in this case, it's al-Qaida calling the shots for sure. they seem to have veto rights on what can and can't be shown. Pretty much. I mean practically speaking, who gives a f***? One more thing to add to a long list of grievances of which some are legit political issues, and most are bulls*** that nobody cares about. This would fall into the latter.

Wright was a solid pick... I would've liked a OL (been saying this since 2006 basically) but the secondary was really, really bad last year, especially the safety play.

Seriously though I'm getting f***ing tired of people in this country reacting to al-Qaida's playbook.

You guys are basically saying there is no such thing as the truth or a factual basis for anything, and if there is, it doesn't matter because everyone can pretty much just make up their own facts.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 09:37 PM) Kids are starting to learn english in China, but that is for the people who are pretty educated. Walking around and going to restaurants, etc, it will be very difficult to find anyone that speaks english. Usually you have to go with the old point method and order something with a picture otherwise you have absolutely no idea what you are ordering. Subways are pretty tough too, but they do have machines that translate into english. Beautiful city though, outside of the s***tiest air I've ever seen. I read somewhere that there are more English speakers in China than there are in the United States. Also, they have more honors students than we have kids.

Florida's state budget is also a mess because they don't have an income tax, and the combination of a housing bust that caused property taxes to plummet and a recession screwed them pretty good.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 07:56 AM) I havent posted recently but have in the past and had no trouble with being banned, Ive heard horror stories on here about it in the past though. Usually even if they have strict guidelines Id imagine they wouldnt just ban people for the sake of banning. Be interesting to hear the moderator who banned you all point of view on the subject. I came to the conclusion that they genuinely don't care what anyone thinks, and when they say "if you don't like it you can leave" they really mean it. It's not like they have trouble getting traffic. So I left. No hard feelings.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 12:36 PM) See that's where the disconnect is. I'm not claiming to be better nor smarter than any of you, I merely see things differently. Agree to disagree as they say. I'm fine with that. I can see why people might think what you said about me (about being smarter/better than you)...but on my side of the fence, I see it the same way from every one of you. Now if you can't see why I'd think that, then I guess I can't see why you'd think that, either. Funny enough, but this "I'm smarter/better thing" is a two way street, and all of you are standing on it with me...just in a different lane. If it was agree to disagree then usually I can see it or I know it going in, and I don't beat a dead horse. But like I said I honestly don't know what your point is with the deliberate shenanigans then saying "see!" when someone responds to it and then you go on a semi-connected rant. There is nothing for me to agree or disagree with because I don't even know what's being said.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 10:30 AM) Oh I totally agree and acknowledge that this was their intent, but that doesn't mean they don't have a really good point - there are certain topics which are supposedly off limits for no good reason. Shift the example from South Park not being able to show Muhammed and replace it with the uproar over the Dutch newspaper. Still a valid argument. We (western society) keep appeasing that crap, and giving into the threats, and guess what, they "win." On here I also agree with you.

I lol'd at this thread for some reason.

The Bulls were starting to piss me off but they managed to hold on. LeBron is pretty ridiculous in the 4th. He stands there, with a guy's hand in his face, dribbling, then he'll just jump up and drain a 3.

My friend was reading a Broncos board and he said in the minutes leading up to the pick some of the posters saw it coming and they were like "oh please God no"

I argued with some Birthers today on Slate. I don't even know what the f*** they were doing there, it's not exactly their turf, but they came out of the woodwork anyway. I felt the same way I would feel after kicking the s*** out of a 4th grader. Obviously I won easily, but I feel bad for even fighting in the first place because of my massive advantage. But the difference is, a 4th grader doesn't usually deserve to have the s*** kicked out of them. These dudes are fascinating and creepy though... logic, facts, and deductive reasoning carry no traction whatsoever with them. It's not like this is a new phenomenon in political discussions, but they literally make up facts as they go along, if you comprehensively debunk something they claim, they don't admit you debunked it, they just move on to something else. They invent laws and legal precedent out of thin air. It's hilarious. I love the claim that you can't get a passport with a "certificate of live birth" and only the original birth certificate (that Hawaii doesn't even issue anymore, I don't think). One went so far as to say that even Little League won't accept the certificate Obama released. lol, that's funny to me. I have a "certificate of live birth" that my parents specifically ordered in 1994 so I could play in Little League. I used that same non-valid piece of paper to join the military, obtain a security clearance, work for the government, etc. Oh and to get a passport. Right. But it's not valid.
