Oh great...another AD. MAKE a point, then maybe I won't miss it. -
Article: 7 Myths about Detroit's Big 3

Would you say the same thing if I was complaining about the government trying to wipe out an entire race of people? Bet I could find a few articles about other countries doing that too. The "Everyone else is doing" argument doesn't really hold up. -

Are they still asking the government to steal my money and give it to them? -
Not that she hasn't had work done, but she has lost some fat and put on some very good muscle tone. That can firm them up nicely. If she has had them done, I applaud her for her restraint. One of the few women who can just have a little firming without trying to make them bigger and ruining a perfectly good thing.

Yes, if this becomes a precedent. We have to stop ALL the bailouts.

Skip Holtz rumored to be named Cuse coach on Monday
Acantha replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Personally, I'd rather have a proven college coordinator ready to make the jump to head coach than to have even a NFL head coach. I don't know when these guys will realize that as far as coaching goes these are two totally different games. (edit) Not to say it can't work, just that success in one doesn't mean success in the other. -
I haven't gotten through the whole thread yet, but really I don't get why everything has to be union/anti-union as far as this debate goes (for the record, I'm generally anti-union). The simple fact is, these companies have failed. That's it. We, as consumers, have had the option to go to a number of car dealerships, and after all the research and/or pure gut, we overwhelmingly decided against buying thier products. Now these companies are saying "that's fine, go ahead and choose another product, but you still need to pay us anyway." What kind of sense does that make? Who's to blame just doesn't matter. Management? Unions? That's not the point! The point is ALL off the practices of these companies put together have failed. Back during the first go-round of these comapnies asking for money, I saw an interview with one of the Ford big-wigs. The anchor was asking him if they got the money, how would they change. He just kept saying over and over that Ford had a great business strategy and that it was well under way and that it would do great in the future. That was it, over and over. Keep doing what we're doing, hold strong, and we'll be okay! What is that saying of Einsteins about the definition of insanity?

mmmm, Jennifer Aniston up against that!

I don't get the problem? The headlines part of CNN brings up a mix of the random sections of the website. Almost every newspaper has an entertainment section. Why would you click on it is the better question.

Woman returns 97K found in bathroom stall.

Having read the article, I'm going with....this never actually happened. -
I thought he acted his parts perfectly in Eternal Sunshine... and The number 23 (or whatever that was called). The "overactor" label is something that I always thought was a lot of crap. His parts called for that kind of thing...it's why he was cast. He wasn't overacting, he was hamming it up as the character called for.

That's kind of the point. It means the teams can suck, but they still get the exposure and the money that the BCS offers (The horribly down Big East is a great example of that) And I agree with Poojers post. It's great that the lesser conferences are starting to get better, but they are still playing each other all year. Do you think Hawaii would have beaten most of the top teams of other conferences last year? Even the consistently better teams like BS wouldn't win much over the course of season. The rankings are inherently flawed when it comes to comparing teams and conferences against other teams and conferences that have not played each other, and using them to make an argument is really pointless. On topic, Skip Holtz is surprising. Obviously I have no idea about the details, but if Turner Gill and Mike Locksley, who both interviewed, were really interested in taking the job, I think they both would have been better hires. -
I totally agree. Got it last week and have listened a lot. I was hesitant to listen at all because I am a huge GnR fan and I didn't want them to F it up. Completely different than what I'm used to, but I really like the album overall. I've listened to "This I Love" pretty much on a loop. I was really expecting to be dissapointed with this, so it's a great surprise.

Cripes - what is the matter with people?
Acantha replied to stuckincincy's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Oh yeah, Wal-Mart has me brainwashed. I couldn't possibly care less about Wal-Mart in this whole thing. And as is stated above, the whole crowd has free will, and they freely aloud themselves to get caught up in the mob. And yes, I HAVE been around a mob before. I've had to contain and break them up (twice). I'm not an idiot, I understand the dynamic of what was going on. The fact is, I STILL hold individuals responsible for their actions. Anything else is letting anarchy rule. Every person in that group had the free will to be there, to allow themselves to be caught up in it, and push it futher with every action or inaction. Blaming someone else is the name of the game in the world, but I have no interest in playing. But I'm sure the jury for the suit will be far more on your side than mine, so don't worry, everyone will be happy at the end; and society will have one more well deserved limit imposed on them. -
Hey, times are tough.

REMINDER: MAC Championship game on ESPN2 Friday 8pm
Acantha replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in College Football
Hey Promo, do me a favor, don't update the thread title with the score when the games over. Living out here, I have to DVR everything but MNF, and you've blown the ending on a few games for me already! -
What is the most attractive thing
Acantha replied to Captain Hindsight's topic in Off the Wall Archives
This past Saturday I was doing a fundraiser during the Gator/FSU game. There was a girl working with us that I really hadn't paid any attention to, until I heard her say she coudn't wait to get done so she get home and watch the game on DVR. I asked her what team she liked, she said the Gators...and then continued to rip the SOW's for a while. Pretty much fell for her right there. Talked to her the rest of the time we were there, and couldn't tell you what she looked like. Normally, I'm a "girl next door" type. I like cute and sweet. I like a nice butt, and don't care about breasts at all. More than anything else, I'm a sucker for nice eyes. -

Seriously? Once the car has free will, try this again.
