ROH will have its first ladder match in Chicago on Sept 15. Jay and Mark Briscoe vs Kevin Steen and El Generico for the ROH Tag Titles.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 04:39 PM) Sounds kinda like the same logic Dems use in talking about the war. Oh, you didn't go to Vietnam? You can't have an opinion on the war then, you are a chickenhawk. If Edwards wants to be credible on the environment, stop using up more resources than the whole town combined. Fly commercial. Don't take a limo everywhere. Maybe a smaller house, or one more environmentally friendly?(NOT saying he should live in a shack, but his house is HUGE! Maybe he is compensating for something? Hmmm.) For gods sakes, how many rooms does he need? He can only store so much hair gel beore it starts to go bad. And you don't want to see bad hair gel. Alpha, There is a major difference between politicians and talking heads who simply didn't go (weren't drafted and did not volunteer) compared to those like the Cheneys and the Nugents who actively went out of their way to get deferments or in the Noog's case, cover himself in feces and urine while refusing to shower for the month before reporting to his draft board. It is those people who choose to act cavalier with the lives of others when they did not have the cajones to put their own on the line that are chickenhawks. The same can happen with the environs who want to cease global warming, but I don't think it is the case so much for Edwards. And don't get me wrong. It is hilarious to hear Edwards talk about the "two Americas" and then go get a $400 haircut. That is like 3-4 trips to the co-op for me (Yes, I found a local area organic co-op with all local area foods so carbon usage to get items there is minimal. Viva Common Ground!) for groceries.

Go Regal! http://www.dailymotion.com/crashcover/video/4779563

Cue the "Same Old Crap" picture...

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 26, 2007 -> 09:03 PM) Orton/Cena next. HHH looked awesome physically. CM Punk did the job for some reason at SS. If Orton loses/Cena retains somehow, I don't know how much more E programming I can take/stomach.

QUOTE(Purdue129 @ Aug 25, 2007 -> 08:31 PM) ROH Spoiler from tonight.... Jack Evan's first 2 "crew" members: Julius Smokes and RUCKUS! the idea of BLKOUT as Project161 is still alive Evans, Smokes and Ruckus are "The Vulture Squad". And oh yeah... Mitsuharu Misawa was officially announced as coming to ROH. On Glory By Honor VI Weekend in Philly and New York, he'll be wrestling. MARK!!!!! ::dreams of Joe coming back as a surprise and taking on Misawa.::

Chikara shows again why it is such a great promotion. Moscow, the Communist Bovine lost his match against USApe due to interference by a debuting wrestler -- Moohammed. And did anybody read what happened at ROH yesterday? Whitmer, Pearce and Albright took out Delirious last night. Pearce talked crap about masks in wrestling and Whitmer stapled the mask to Delirious' head! Can't wait for Morishima vs Danielson tonight.

Vick suspended by the NFL indefinitely. I wonder what this will mean for the Michael Vick Experience?

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 04:18 PM) I think Sanders counts as on his side also. Yeah, I just remembered Portis off the top of my head. There were a few.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 03:57 PM) Pfftt.. Figures. :rolleyes Clinton Portis and another member of the Washington football franchise were quick to come out in support of Vick ("It's his property" argument). http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2878099

Allowing a felon who left a teammate for dead after drunk driving + having other team members to cover it up to still be on a team, let alone have a possibility of playing in the future -- yet another black eye at my alma mater. Granted they did dump Chief White-Guy-Dancing-Like-a-Native-In-The-Wrong-Dress and the Coke contract but this is getting ridiculous.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 11:53 AM) source? Oh, for Jeebus sake, get off your "I pay for my smark bait!" high horse. And your answer is F4WOnline.com, FTW.

Happy birthday!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 06:11 PM) If your wowing the term African-American as a race because I used it wrong, sorry I'm still working on my grammar. If your wowing the content of that statement, keep wowing. The majority of black people ALWAYS support their own, even if the damn crime is on videotape or something, for the sole purpose of not letting the evil white people that had them as slaves 2 centuries ago win (and btw, almost any white person would say they are embarassed about how we treated blacks in the past, but we can't control it either). "Stop snitching, can't take the boy out the hood", getting mad at Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods for not being the next Martin Luther King, it's all the same anti-white person nonsense and racism in it's own way. I have spent most of my life being colorblind and for the most part I'm still that way, but the way black people act when anybody in their race of significance gets in trouble is a joke, a complete joke. Colorblind. In the words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." You could write the same thing when anybody of the white race begins losing jobs to Mexicans with their hatred of all immigrants (legal and illegal) and the "Why isn't X Minority Celebrity being talked about in the MSM when there are white males getting raked over the coals for doing the same thing!" It is a blunt generalization that is accurate about some segments of the population, but by and far is inaccurate, asinine and fairly obvious irresponsible to paint with such a wide brush.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 10:11 AM) Being a senior is cool. Getting paid to teach 5 classes is cooler. I got a 2nd hr. class, 3rd hr. study hall, 4th, 5th and 6th hr. class, 7th hr. lunch (12:23 pm), 8th hr. planning period and 9th hr. class.

Every set of Cody Rhodes trunks seem to suck ass. Jeez. And with this Triple H/King Booker skit, it is nice to see that they got the Owen Hart nose out of storage. Plus, heel Santino is getting to me. I am enjoying it. Let him go over Simmons in a dick/heelish fashion and he'll get some more heat.

I rue tomorrow when the vampires come in and clog all the roads so townies like me are unable to go to their jobs in a reasonable timeframe. Not to mention when their sense of entitlement means longer lines at all the local stores and terrible driving skills (i.e. the guy that nearly t-boned me last year when he decided he wanted to make a left turn from the far right hand lane going south on Lincoln at Lincoln and Springfield...and here I was as a sucker being in the left turn lane with a green arrow when he nearly hit me. Best part was the guy screaming at me like I did something wrong. (Edit, for those who are not UIUC'ers or Chambana residents -- Lincoln + Springfield is a two lane each way road and the left turn lane makes it have a fifth lane at the corner) UIUC campus move in is an absolute clusterf*** of a high degree and really annoys townies like me who enjoy the town and don't like people who just sap things out of the community and whose only contributions (by and far -- it isn't everybody but there are too damn many) include puking outside repeatedly, vocal obnoxiousness and payment of drunk in public or parking tickets.

I am in the market for a PDA. I basically need it to keep a to do list and keep my calendar updated easily. I don't need it to be a phone because I've got a cell I am pleased with. I may want it to have WiFi for maps, etc. but that is not a 100% must. It is basically just going to be keeping a to do list and be an electronic calendar/date keeper for me. I've read some stuff on CNet but wanted to see if any of the techies here could suggest any that would sync well with Macs and meet these needs I enumerated previously. Thanks in advance.

http://www.seattleweekly.com/2007-08-15/ne...-contraband.php I must say that I do some work for Champaign Urbana Books to Prisoners, so I am not entirely unbiased in this. Basically, prisoners write in with requests for books, specific titles/authors etc. and we fill the orders with books that have been donated in the community -- either they just want reading material, want books on skills/GED, a dictionary, etc or just can't afford any books otherwise. There are some minor issues with certain prisons in IL not wanting hardcover books, but nothing bad. Other states are having major problems like the ones in Washington are having. Other states just don't allow books to be sent in to prisoners at all. Illinois seems to have no problem with this program. Why are other states having such a fit about this?

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 12:29 PM) He didnt get squashed. Maybe they're setting up his first post-title win challenger? CM Punk will overcome teh odds!!!1!1!111! ELEVENTY!

I still get goosebumps watching this.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 14, 2007 -> 07:03 PM) Do the Orton pose after blowing out the candles. Do the Orton pose hard and cocky enough and the sheer force and smugness of it should blow the candles into submission.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Aug 14, 2007 -> 01:49 PM) It's called negotiations. I won't believe any of this unless I see links from the big two news sites. As for misusing him - yes, I agree with that, but I do think his title reign is coming at BFG. (I should mention I didnt see HJ - it's being downloaded now) HJ sucked. The finish was really obvious. People have been thinking that the Reign of Joe would be coming for a while now but some new WWE cast-off comes in and always takes the strap instead. And the refusal to sign the three year extension is pretty much common knowledge now. Between that and the asshat behavior of TNA towards their workers (Aries, Cide, et al.) it is no wonder why so many are trying to leave. TNA has become Total Nonstop Angle.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Aug 14, 2007 -> 01:41 PM) Yeah - whoulda thunk he could find some personality? I marked out for that Cookie Monster line. btw - to whoever above. Raw was taped. They taped SNME after it, and started it early. Joe is not leaving TNA. I think they're waiting til Bound for Glory to give him the title. No one really thought he'd win, did they? Joe refused to sign the extension they've given, his friend was fined for writing something in support of Konnan on Konnan's MySpace page and lots of workers are demanding their releases from the sinking ship that is TNA. They've completely misused Joe the entire time they've had him. He's a glorified jobber now. They've completely de-legitimized him as a threat to any title, especially the World Title.
