  1. Ok people can marry their dogs...what happens if they marry their horses? Then you get a bunch of the creatures like the one in your avatar.
  2. Did you know that everybody has different musical tastes? The music industry actually thrives on it. By the way, a few other people in this very thread agreed with me. I always had a feeling you were a pompous know-it-all, I'm glad I trusted my gut.
  3. That actually is a very good question. I think that many GOOD bands fade because they lose their edge. GREAT bands, on the other hand, are essentially timeless because of their musicianship and (in many cases) raw instrumental energy. One guy that pops into my head is Dave Grohl...I think that he's one of those guys that will be rocking well into his 70s. We can even start to throw Green Day themselves into this category. Have you read the May edition of Rolling Stone? The cover story is largely about Billie Joe Armstrong, and what I read surprised me. The dude is basically a suburbanite who coaches his sons' Little League teams (true story, and a great mental image if you think of him coaching in his punk garb), and yet he still has a very deep, dark reservoir of emotion and passion for music from which to draw. Armstrong, Dirnt, and Tre are all 37 now, which might not quite be "past their prime", but it's still impressive to see them churning out good music a couple decades after they started as angsty teens.
  4. It is (I guess WAS) one of the few original programs. Say what you want about the acting or production, it was never formulaic, and it was an engaging plot with multi-dimensional characters and entertaining (often funny) dialogue. The one thing I didn't like was Donal Logue's character, he's just awful. By the way, are you saying that the show Life is overrated, or making a pun about life itself being overrated? Couldn't really tell...
  5. They cancelled Life????
  6. Did the RHCP really peak in 1992 though? I'd argue that 2006's Stadium Arcadium is the band's masterpiece.
  7. By the way, I think Eminem is a decent rapper but VERY overrated. He had two legitimately great songs, Lose Yourself and Stan (feat. Dido), but except for those I find most of his stuff pretty banal.
  8. 21st Century Breakdown is, simply put, brilliant. To me, it's miles ahead of American Idiot which was pretty darn good in it's own right. Green Day goes down as the greatest band of my generation, without much competition. Maybe the Red Hot Chili Peppers, they're still going strong. But not Coldplay.
  9. I can't imagine what I would say to Jessica Alba other than "You're very hot, may I have some naked pictures?". I certainly wouldn't be able to compliment her on any of her performances...
  10. I don't see the point in assigning the label "#1 wide receiver". On most depth charts, there is a starting right WR and a starting left WR. Different guys are #1's in different situations. If you absolutely NEED to label a WR #1, wait and see which WR the opposition assigns to their best cornerback. That's how you know.
  11. I agree that abortion is evil, though not on the grounds that my imaginary friend told me so. edit: sorry, that was out of line...i despise the whole "word of god" thing, but i shouldn't mock those who do believe it
  12. I guess you missed today's game...
  13. What about families with children? Should they not be given aid? Should a child go hungry and be told "if only your parents weren't so lazy."?
  14. There's only one crayonz.
  15. Computer is fixed by the way. I gave it to my friend, one of the smartest people I know, and she returned it to me fixed. She tried to explain, but I didn't understand a lick of it. As for favorite quotes, the one in my signature. "Everybody's got a plan til they get punched in the mouth." Iron Mike Tyson
  16. Yeah, I know what the word means. So your idea of "elaborating" is claiming that Whitner makes 5 million a year when he actually makes close to 2.7? That's going into further detail. A short play: Employer: We've been impressed with your work lately. Employee: Thank you, sir. I've been trying my hardest. Employer: We're prepared to give you a $20,000 raise next fiscal year. Employee: REALLY??? Employer: No, I actually meant $5,000. Sorry for elaborating so much.
  17. 1. You can't spell "elaborated" 2. You don't know what "elaborated" means 3. You actually think we're just going to up and cut Whitner. Credibility.......gone
  18. I'd be ok with Cleveland getting a shot, if that's a possibility. Cleveland sports fans are very Buffalonian in my opinion.
  19. Only if they promise to use the old Hartford Whalers logo, the best in the history of professional sports.
  20. Haha nice I didn't realize there was a thread on this subject until right now. My girlfriend, Elise, is actually one of the stars of the softball team and she had a 3 run opposite field homer in the championship game, it was quite a moment. And save the jokes, she doesn't look like your typical softball player.
  21. I'm all for this. I know the Sabres probably don't want the potential competition, but to me it's just a brand new rivalry! Hockey in the desert is just dumb anyway.
  22. You can be unpretentious and still be batsh*t crazy.
  23. Well, I don't really think any offense would ever be "afraid" of facing off against a Cover 2 defense. The system is supposed to be more about giving teams fits and causing confusion (and theoretically interceptions) than playing smashmouth football. I'd equate our defense with a crafty pitcher who throws 85 mph with a pretty nice curveball. He CAN be dominant if he hits his spots, but if anything goes wrong he'll get hit hard. This is opposed to a power blitzing 3-4 defense, which is the flamethrower.
