Of course. I'm really trying to figure out how they're going to make 3 movies out of a few hundred pages.

B0ll0cks, but good on ya (AUS) for the try! :)

Flyer orange, huh? :sick:

Wow.

Sigh, I won't even bother to ask if you have some proof of bribery.

I agree. I suppose motorcycle racing is a gray area. I probably don't call it a sport, but you can't be overweight and climb around on a bike like that. There was that scene in Meaning of Life (?) where they're teaching kids about sex and they look supremely bored. That's not what you're thinking about, right?

Agreed. I'd go so far that anything that is subjective or requires points. Distances and times, that's it. Of course, wrestling was in the classic games, so maybe I'm wrong. :)

As a girlfriend used to say to me, "Those are just made-up names."

Will they be able to turn right?

Flat tire on the bike this morning (luckily found in the garage, not on the road). Now i need to change the tire if I'm going to make my camping trip this weekend. At least I have the replacement tire already, but not the time to do the swap.

While kinda amusing, it's a pretty bad show. I seem to remember people getting mildly up in arms when Tyler Ennis had the wrong logo (Panthers, maybe?) on the jumbotron in Raleigh during all-star weekend. My bet is it was an honest mistake though, not a political statement.

I think the US Soccer orgs are one of very few that have the cash to seriously field a women's team. The rest are either state-sponsered or those heartwarming stories about how they work 9-5 jobs and practice on the weekends and nights.

Those sports are on your extended cable from time to time if you look around for them. I prefer the even odder stuff, like Men's field hockey.

Ying and yang, I bought an engagement ring over the weekend. :)

I have a wadded up dollar bill that I found in a pair of jeans after washing that says he doesn't! :) (virtual shake on that)

And not even for Rock and Roll. I'm not sure I believe that. Maybe one of my closest 20-30 friends gives a rat's ass about Minor-league football. He's a Penn State guy, oddly enough, but I have't asked him about it yet. Everyone else doesn't seem to care.

Great book. I've read a bunch of his other stuff. It's not as tight as Snow Crash, but generally quite good. Right now: Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Getting into it, just need more time. Next up: Inheritance (the fourth (and hopefully final) book in the Eragon series), just to finish it up. They're not *bad* books, but being written by a teenager they show some simpleness. The characters are generally very good or very bad.

One of these bands is not like the other ones, one of these bands in not the same.

I thought it really was a joke, although that could be because I was thinking of the show Mantis or Manhunt. :)

+1 (In all seriousness, the Chz is a great source for hockey stuff on Twitter)

Pierogies at the Polish-fest in Sloan (yesterday).

Yep. You kinda knew it would go nuclear at some point, but it went quite awhile before the condescension set in.

Yeah, I kinda knew that's what that link was going to be. I really like Chick-fil-a, but I stopped eating there a few years ago due to the management's views. So be it.

OK, maybe I don't like German beer. :)

I always thought I didn't like german beer, but it turns out I don't like beer transported from Germany. German styles brewed locally aren't bad at all.
