~Abysmally unenlightened talk + pitiful admission of being an Eagles fan~Why, BLESS YOUR HEART...Heh... it's not all that bad. I mean, my brother-in-law is a BILLS fan. *shakes head*
At least we can say we all have a dislike of Owens in common (and so will Cincinatti, soon).
I think someone stepped in something...
YUP! These cleats are thick with Eagle residue! Someone's gotta clean up in here after a game...
EDIT- NAKED GIANTS LOVE FOR TOP!!!! No, not in the RotRL style.
Is it just me, or is it really cruel to have three of the top ten teams in the league in one division? Seriously, the last five years have been infuriating to see that your team might be in second or third place in the division, yet still have a better record than half of the NFL...

Agreed. Football really needs to change in that regard. To be fair, so do other sports, but with football its really, really glaring. Still, any given sunday...
I didn't think people in Texas could even spell awesome ;)
Says the man from northern New York. ;)

True. But I think I developed an ulcer last year when it was literally a WEEK before playoffs and no one knew who was going to take the NFC East championship and who would get the wild card.
Western New York. It's like Northern New York but with less inbreeding and more pollution.I didn't think people in Texas could even spell awesome ;)Says the man from northern New York. ;)
^5.
Still, Brooklyn is superior...
*blink*
By the way New Yorkers ...
Could you please tell your fellow state residents to vacation on Long Island rather than Cape Cod? If I get cut off by another car full of Noo Yawkers I think I will scream...
I swear, sometimes y'all are even worse than the Quebecois ... =P
*blink*
Just don't drive your Chevy to the levee. I heard the levee was dry.Wait it's Friday the 13th already. Damn I'm late!!!!!!!
*runs off to sharpen his machette, find his hockey mask, and thens heads down to the lake*
you are not from Iowa I take it?

You'll have to talk to Freehold about that. I don't think Upstaters go much to Cape Cod. Maybe it's because we have so much pristine coast on Lake Ontario. [/sarcasm]

Ouch
I'm not jealous, I just feel sorry for you. Your most popular music is produced in Tennessee, the only type of food you're known for is Tex/Mex (which is half mexican and half Milwaukee beer) and the Cowboys suck*!
Who needs Tennessee when you have the likes of ZZ Top and Stevie Ray Vaughan? And Texas is at least as well known for great chili as it is for Tex-Mex.

Hey, those ain't MY peeps- those are the weirdos who hang out on the wrong side of Long Island swearing that they're from New York even though the entire place looks and acts like a suburb out in the middle of nowhere.

I'll give ya ZZ & Stevie Ray, but I've yet to meet a chili that beats mine. I haven't 'topped' out the batch I made some years ago (mostly because other people seem to want to be able to eat it), but me and my best friend sat down and had one bowl each and wound up drinking a gallon of milk and eating a loaf of bread with it to keep our tongues from liquefying. We then sat and watch wrestling (back in the days of the Monday Night War) and proceeded to hallucinate (there was a space coyote and maybe some blue gremlins).
Trolls give monkeys heartburn. Bananas are the debbil. Monkeys now prefer grilled cheese burger meltsBananas rot monkeys' teeth. I learnt that on my honeymoon in Costa Rica.S'up Patrick.
I had this weird dream that all the bananas in the world died, so the monkeys took up arms and started killing and eating messageboard trolls. weird huh?
Now I'm hungry.
Morning, all. What did I miss?Well, Al was becoming increasingly frustrated with problems at work, so his wife suggested he begin responding to every inquiry with the phrase "No hablo inglés". Meanwhile, Bob and Harry were debating the finer points of crocheting versus weaving. And, across town, Alex decided that discretion really was the better part of valor after.......No, wait! That's my soap opera!
Did you miss the home brewing thread?
Huh. I thought that was Austin. :)You can never know too many people in Houston, Houston is the Awesome capitol of Texas. ;-)Morning, all. What did I miss?I found out I know way too many people in Houston or people who know people in Houston.No, Austin is the awesome Capitol.
As for the rest of you Texas haters, it's ok, we're used to the jealousy of the rest of the country. No hard feelings. :-p
Gee, it's not Midland? ;)

I still miss slow smoked beef brisket. Now I'm really hungry.
GYAH! Is being an idiot a requirement of management?
Sometimes I really do wonder.
Awright folks. In a stunning turnaround from yesterday's 10 hour slog, I am getting off work early today. However, this really isn't a respite- I'm slogging into Queens with some friends n' my wife to help another friend finish moving. We get to see the new place n' everythang!
See you in the Paizo Pages.
GYAH! Is being an idiot a requirement of management?
In my experience I would say yes.

*begins drooling at the sound of "brisket"*
Mmmmmmm.
/me let's pretend we didn't notice
Or, pretend we did...hmmm...

*runs off to sharpen his machette, find his hockey mask, and thens heads down to the lake*
Nope. Bye Bye Miss American Pie.
I noticed that, Gary.
Working hard.Morning, all. What did I miss?I found out I know way too many people in Houston or people who know people in Houston.Houston's not that bad. It's not like you know a lot of people from Saskatoon.
How are you doing, CrimJ?
I hear that's bad for your health.
I noticed that, Gary.
The Gary notice you noticing The Gary.
All Hail The Gary!
That last *click* was pretty good, but it looks like I'm going to have to try again after lunch.
And the *click* too! ;)

So, last night, I was watching Thundarr the Barbarian, which arrived along with the mysterious unscrambling of Boomerang in my cable package. I had vague memories of the show from watching it as a kid, I knew it was set on a post apocalyptic world, had a generic pre-he-man-esque protagonist, and a wookie-like dude on a fishy looking dinosaur horse.
Now, as cool as that sounds, I was floored by how packed with awesome the episodes I watched were. And when I say packed with awesome, I don't mean it had a good plot, character development, funny jokes, cool action scenes, or anything like that. Oh, no, when I mean packed full of awesome, I mean:
- The Earth suffered almost complete destruction in the far off year of 1994 when a comet sucked off the atmosphere!
- The Moon was broken in half by the comet that destroyed the Earth.
- 2,000 years later, Earth is full of magic and the ruins of civilization (which ruins are still standing, mostly undamaged, despite the passage of so much time).
- Thundarr fought a wizard wearing an astronaut helmet, who turned out to be, I shit you not, a robot, who then turned out to be a glowing green brain in a robot body.
- That point bears repeating: they fought a glowing, green, pulsating brain robot wizard (GGPBRW).
- While fighting the GGPBRW, Thundarr cuts off its robot hand, to which the GGPBRW responds "You cannot hurt me." Uh, he just cut off your f~*$ing hand - I think he can hurt you.
- While in a spaceship, going into orbit, they cut a hole in the ground, and leaped out, on horseback, landing in the water, and suffering no adverse effects.
- He has a light saber.
- They fought rat men who were riding motorcyles and wielding clubs that shoot laser beams in the ruins of Manhattan.
- A bad guy animiated the Planet of the Apes-esque ruins of the Statue of Liberty, which attacked the heroes, including by shooting flames from its torch.
- Say it with me: Robot wizard.
I could go on, but the point is, the show was everything cool in science fiction from the late 70s/early 80s mixed with pulp fantasy magic/barbarians, held together by a series of fights that could charitably be described as a plot by only the most mentally challenged amongs us, and animated using Hanna Barbara's normal (and hideiously crappy) techniques (I was shocked at the lack of a speech impedimented talking dog sidekick).
If Rifts had an animated series, watered down for kids, this is what it would look like.
If ever "so bad it's good" needed a poster child, this is it.

It's a true gem in the history of Hanna-Barbera.

Sebastian you have just savaged my favorite childhood show... I'm going to go cry now.
Weren't you a teenager in 1980, when it came out? Shouldn't you have been doing teenage things like...uh...playing D&D, instead of watching cartoons.
Also, I love that show. I've commanded the puny AI that operates my DVR to record every episode that airs.

Sebastian, has anyone ever told you your enthusiasm, like so much about you, is infectious?Oh it could oh so be much worse, and you know it.
I'm serious. The show was before my time, I've never seen it, but Sebastian's enthusiasm makes me want to. Anything that could make him giddy like a schoolgirl has to be worth checking out.
