Chekov: “It’s a long time since I drank champagne.”
Joyce: “Does nobody understand?” (probably talking about Finnegan’s Wake)
O’Neill: “I knew it. I knew it. Born in a hotel room – and Goddamnit – died in a hotel room.”

And of course, the attributed Dylan Thomas, which is likely a lie but I will take as good nonetheless…
“I’ve had eighteen straight whiskeys, I think that’s the record . . .”

It depends on if you enjoy agony.

It seems like people are less friendly when we’re losing and I’d rather not see new posters (or myself) get torn apart by LL’s collective cynicism.

Is the Jack Wilson version of Loafie more valuable than the Yuni version of Loafie? (so to speak).

This is Griffey the selfish prick from the 90’s all over again and yet no one seems to care.

or 12.

There is an 18.5 point difference between him Guti, interesting.

She doesn’t update as often as others, and obviously there isn’t a good storyline, but her humor is astoundingly smart and intensely juvenile at the same time. I never fail to laugh at it. Also, every now and again she draws something that just looks absurd. For instance, the baby in these cartoons.

Fuck. By herself, but with Twilight? This is getting weird.

Leid? Leia’d? Shit – I’m bad at this…

I just finished with the game and my files are fine. I haven’t had any trouble with glitches at all.

I will see if I can make it out there. If you’re not too far out of the way, Ess, I could pick you up. Send me an email if you want.

Vitale has been insane for years. He’s just louder now.

On a more serious note, does this mean “We should’ve drafted Bard” is born?

On the one hand, I want soccer to grow in popularity in the US and that happens when they do well in the World Cup.On the other, my favorite player will be playing for England, many other players I like very much will be playing for England, and I want them to do well for the same reason I wanted the Canadian hockey team to win the gold medal in the Olympics.

And really, these are the two best teams in the group and should go through to the knockout stages no matter what, so unless one of them fuck up badly elsewhere they’ll be fine.

England should destroy the US in any case, but Spain should have done the same thing last year so we’ll see.

I’m in Ibiza for the last week of the tournament as well, so if England [or Spain] are still involved that will be epic.

I have a bad feeling about the England/USA game, I think we might slip up … but the USA are easily my second favourite team, so if we got beat to them I wouldn’t feel so bad, particularly if it helped raise the profile of soccer across the pond.

first comment on that video:

THERE IS BEAR CUM!

I think that expanding on the history of expectations for the US team might be a great topic for a post or a series on 7500 to Holte.

Madden 10 came with a code for online franchise, or cost you $10 or whatever to unlock the feature.

Given that I gameflied the game and played four seasons of online franchise that $10 was well spent.

I can just imagine some punk-ass kids shoving trash into the case of one, until it is overflowing with wrappers and shit

it involved a computers being kept in the kitchen, and cockroaches living in the damned thing.

Luckily I tool around with my boxen enough that they get cleaned out regularly. Although the amount of cat hair buildup is pretty bad even after a few months.

How convenient!

What if Z and Wak never wanted Griffey back, but ownership demanded it? They’ve asserted themselves on things like that in the past, so it’s plausible. But what if somebody from the front office picked LaRue because he would have credibility, and told him that the team was looking to be rid of Griffey soon and this would be a way to make it happen? What if there weren’t two younger players, but it was instead just something to add further credibility to the report?
