  1. Hugo Weaving adds another sci-fi/comic book movie (sorry, can't think of the right label here) to his resume? He's quickly becoming a king to all the nerds. -Red Skull -Megatron -Agent Smith -V -Lord of the Rings (sorry, not familiar with those character names)
  2. I always think Princess Bride when his name comes up.
  3. You'd probably be looking at around 4 games against each team. I think that leaves plenty of room for rivalries. And as for the concern about teams being eliminated too early, how would that be any different than it is now? The top 8 get in right now and it's a pretty rare case where one division is so crappy that the title winner wouldn't already qualify for a playoff slot.
  4. If they want to realign, just eliminate the divisions all together. They're unnecessary. I'm sure they could work out a balanced schedule with the divisions.
  5. And none of that beer's domestic to them since there were maybe 4 americans at the party. edit: And apparently the Bruins have a thing for bottles of champagne like that. My roommate works at a restaurant out here and the team came in at one point during the season. They wound up drinking 3 of those giant bottles (not sure on the exact size) and then the entire team autographed each one.
  6. In my mind, he's just as stupid. Unless he passed out and was place in the car, he was there willingly.
  7. But what's more predictable, the WBC announcing a protest or the media reporting it?
  8. I thought PR stunt immediately, but then I saw who the actor was. Wouldn't you want to actually marry someone people have heard of if you're trying to jumpstart a career?
  9. Legally, does a marriage cancel out the laws for statutory rape?
  10. That has to be the creepiest wedding picture I've ever seen.
  11. I love when they use quotes with really poor english like they did in that link. I picture the stereotypical hick like Cletus from the Simpsons while reading those. But anyway, even with a report like that, it has to be the ultimate long shot for something like that to happen. We probably take on even worse odds in our every day life. edit: And after watching that video, I bet that thing is really amazing at night.
  12. Either way, he's still an idiot. Driving at those speeds, you're putting yourself at risk (I guess the speeding thing is another assumption though). But I will give him credit for one thing, at least he didn't take out a second car while doing it. A minor victory, but hey, it's something.
  13. I love how every death thread on this board quickly turns into a WBC event. I'm impressed by the consistency around here.
  14. He always came across as a decent guy on those shows, as opposed to Margera. It does figure though that he died most likely while doing something stupid.
  15. A couple weeks ago, my GPS told me to turn while I was in the middle of a bridge. I didn't listen.
  16. As usual, the truth lies somewhere in between. There were some people who were there looking to cause trouble and there were those where the rioting was far more spontaneous. Either way, it seems to me like this was going to happen no matter who won, which does say a bit about that area.
  17. Will she settle for OJ finally finding the real killers and revealing their identity in an interview?
  18. Because all good kids would put up a long fight over being able to wear their pants around their knees.
  19. How about this one. I've been here for 11 years now. Prior to that, their last one was the Celtics, which was what, mid-80s? Once I show up, they get 4 hockey national chamionships, 3 superbowls, 2 world series, an NBA title and now this Cup. That's a championship per year since I came out here. Why couldn't I use this power when I was in Buffalo?
  20. That invitation is so obvious now that you point that out.
  21. I wonder if there might be a bit of a reading comprehension thing in this one too. I wonder how many kids are going to bother to read through all of those questions that were a bit longer. But either way, there's definitely a lack of teaching involved here. I realized while reading the first line in that article that I was never taught a single thing about the Korean War at any point when I was in school. I guess that means there's a decent change I might have gotten the Korean War too (well, if not for a bit of common sense).
  22. I'd love to see how the ratings spiked at the masters this year when he inched his way towards the top of that leader board. But that was the perfect example of what is wrong with Tiger today. That relatively short eagle putt that would have put him alone in the lead? The real Tiger Woods never misses that putt.
