Dante Hall going to run back another one this weekend?
![]() | I'd be stupid to bet against it |
![]() | no. them packers have too much hair to get tangled in |
![]() | and its at slow lambeau |
![]() | That almost rhymes |
![]() | Yay English, where ow = eau |
![]() | it DOES rhyme |
![]() | acually, the "eau" is french |
![]() | in fact, eau means WATER |
![]() | Hmm, you're right... the proper thing to say is "Stupid America" |
![]() | Nevertheless, Dante Hall does not obey physics or penalties |
![]() | Also, the people talking about Dante Hall as the MVP are idiots |
![]() | hair.. he must obey |
![]() | yeah, they forgot about stephen davis |
![]() | To decide the MVP, they should just see who is drafted the highest over all of the fantasy drafts |
![]() | I think Ricky Williams may have that honor |
![]() | If you had an end-of-season fantasy league |
![]() | Or, rather, take the highest fantasy scoring player, thats the idea... since in theory, an end-of-season fantasy draft would draft the player who had the most fantasy points that season. |
These guys have a Pants logo, but its much lower in Yao content
![]() | And Shaq |
![]() | And monkeys |

Chances that China blows up its astronauts next week?
![]() | Put me down for 20% |
![]() | you can't BET on percentages! |
![]() | I'm not betting... I'm .... uh... getting put down |
![]() | that said, I'm going with 34% |
![]() | If it doesn't blow up, there will be a lot of jubilant, drunk-as-hell, Chinamen that night |
![]() | are they going to the moon? |
![]() | Nope, just John Glenn style... like 12 or 14 orbits |
![]() | Stuff |
![]() | sputnik chang! |
![]() | There were decidedly no people on Sputnik |
![]() | More like Mercury Lee |

CAR over INDY?
![]() | I think so |
![]() | I think so too. IND can't follow up after their huge monday night |
![]() | Browns at home over Raiders? |
![]() | COUCH! |
![]() | Exactly |
![]() | frankly, if the bears can beat you, you ain't so good |
![]() | Is Kordell still their QB/ |
![]() | he is the guy that takes the snaps |
![]() | I don't think you could call him the QB |
![]() | Rogers out for MONTH |
![]() | ... Rogers is reaching "fragile" status after his pre-season injuries and now this :) |
![]() | he's on the lions. I think they don't let them eat calcium or something |
![]() | The question now is who will finish last out of 130+ candidates |
![]() | Pawlik and Lewis are the early winners for losing |
![]() | With 8% of precincts reporting, we are calling Todd Lewis the losingest loser of this election. |
![]() | Och that might have been premature... |
![]() | We'll declare for sure in the morning |
![]() | No, the call was correct! Lewis got just 166 votes. Forte was runner up to loser with 188. |
![]() | Interestingly, one of Arnold's top campaign promises was to revive the Bay Area and Silicon Valley economies, but in Santa Clara county (where Silicon Valley resides), the majority voted No on the recall, and more voted for Bustamante than for Schwarzenegger. Basically, we don't want your help, you monster. |
![]() | Don't blame the bay area for this mess!: |

Hilarious commercial statistics
![]() | Carl's Jr. commercial |
![]() | For those who don't know, they're a fast food chain, burgers & fries |
![]() | The commercial's narration: "Some guys eat 5 burgers a week. Thats 11,000 burgers in a lifetime. You may want to pace yourself." |
![]() | 5 burgers a week, at 52 weeks a year = 260 burgers per year |
![]() | 11,000 burgers per lifetime divided by 260 burgers per year = 42 years per lifetime |
![]() | Basically, their burgers kill you. |
![]() | ... However, if you care to assume you eat zero burgers until you're 18 and you eat zero burgers after you're 60, then their statistics don't really demonstrate burger lethality. But they didn't really state all their assumptions up front, so I remain in a state of hilarity. |
![]() | I have to be inducted into the Total Dork Hall of Fame, I swear to you. |

How do Yahoo photos become "most viewed" ?
![]() | When all photos are posted they have zero views |
![]() | Then someone views one of the zeroes |
![]() | That photo is now the most viewed |
![]() | Then people follow the most viewed link |
![]() | Basically, is it randomly determined by the behavior of the earliest visitors? |
![]() | there are pages other than the most viewed with pictures |
![]() | like "Entertainment Photos" |
![]() | Those are a small select set... so basically the candidate set from which the Most viewed come from are picked by someone? |
![]() | so either they go by "page views" |
![]() | or link follows |
![]() | if they were smart, they would count links that come from !most viewed |
![]() | I just find the idea of going from thousands of photos a day to a selecting consistently good photos by a purely peer-based self-motivated method to be very interesting |
![]() | And doing it without their consent |
![]() | Or at least, their active participation |
![]() | i concur |
![]() | Elections should be held that way |
![]() | Oh wait |
![]() | They are |
![]() | TOMORROW |
![]() | In a bite-sized sandwich using pre-sliced white bread lightly buttered with margarine, a slice of cheddar needs to be at least 2.8 mm thick, the study found. |
![]() | If its subjective, its not science. |
![]() | someone was telling me that "if its judged, its not a sport" |
![]() | This man is not a scientist; he is a cheese aficionado. |
![]() | Tests done on the contribution of tomato and pickle found that tomatoes boosted the cheesiness flavour whereas pickles did not |
![]() | I also love the scientific accuracy juxtaposition of "lightly buttered" and "2.8mm thick" |
![]() | Serious problem with significant digits there. |
![]() | I didn't think the brits were down with metric |
![]() | Fantastic point. |
![]() | There's also a major inconsistency in this where it says he was commissioned to study maximizing aroma, and then later talking about how they could boost flavor. Those are not synonyms. |
![]() | well, in all fairness its a summary of the study |
![]() | maybe its a corollary |
kcm, whats your deal. Haven't heard from you in a while

![]() | need to work on my telepathy |
Little thought experiment
![]() | Black holes have enough gravity to pull in light |
![]() | Surely for some gravity < x, this is not true |
![]() | So, what if a black hole had gravity exactly equal to x |
![]() | What happens when its x + 0.00001 and x - 0.00001 ? |
![]() | dabbling in astrophysics now, warren? |
![]() | I think when you are that close to being a black hole, you just become one |
![]() | but that begs the question, how close is "that close" |
![]() | As a space systems engineer there's something forbidding me from pondering astrophysics? Or is my intellect not keen enough? |
![]() | And whether the question is how far away, or how great the gravity is, my issue remains: What happens when you're exactly equal to that value |
![]() | Would like just gather up in a tidepool? |
![]() | considering you enjoy science fiction, it makes sense that would enjoy astrophysics |
![]() | Or at x + 0.000001, would light just inch along very very slowly, just barely making progress? |
![]() | but at x, gravity would just pull more matter in |
![]() | After a bit, yes |
![]() | so there is just a tiny instant when you are equal to n |
![]() | er, x |
![]() | which is why I say x - 0.00001 = x |
![]() | What if you placed three black holes at distance (or gravity magnitude) x, equidistant and equispaced, around a light bulb, and turned it on |
![]() | the black holes would smash into one another |
![]() | Fantastic |
![]() | Thats like the John Madden explanation of cosmology |
![]() | "They go boom!" |
![]() | now if you have 3 black holes orbiting each other... |
![]() | On the idea of whether or not its a magnitude of gravity or a distance at which point you're inescapable, I know that for an atmosphere-less planetary body, light can pass infinitely close and not get drawn in, which means there is some value of gravity, x, for which light does not escape during an infinitely close pass to the body |
![]() | I just find that boundary situations with black holes to be immensely interesting |
![]() | but you're never going to have a black hole operating in a vacuum |
![]() | Same with Dyson's Spheres, but I'll talk about those another day |
![]() | because black holes are surrounded by matter, there is no "black hole == anything" |
![]() | I'm more interested in the theory than the practical examples in this situation |
![]() | fair enough |
![]() | Interesting, barely related, Googlefight |
A great Madden line
![]() | "Their posessions have been 3 plays and punt, a 4 plays and punt, then a 5 plays and punt |
![]() | I'd love to understand what a combination of four plays in a series results in a punt to end the series |
![]() | 1st play: 1st down. 2nd-3rd-4th plays then punt |
![]() | Och |
![]() | I am stupid |
![]() | yeah, I sure thought so |
![]() | I should hide this thread |
![]() | I thought you would catch it before I was able to describe it in a meaningful manner |
![]() | I had a long day and my central nervous system isn't working |
![]() | faulty medula oblongata |
![]() | Yes, its not oblong. Its circular. |
![]() | I'm sure that there is some penis joke I could make at this point |
![]() | I guess I was mainly confused because I was unable to understand how Manning could get a first down |
![]() | Frankly, I believe its possible to make a penis joke at all points. The loci is infinitely wide and infinitely dense. |
![]() | I can't watch this game. Manning angers me. So much chicken dancing. So much play clock wasting. |
I think the McDonalds rap commercials are extra bad
![]() | do people watch them and think McDonalds is hip and cool? |
![]() | i bet the only thing they're doing is making the racists avoid McDonalds |
![]() | I concur. These are inexplicable |
who is your favorite Ohio State player?
![]() | mine is Robert Smith |
![]() | he's just so happy looking |
![]() | he'd fumble the ball, and just look so happy about it |
![]() | he'd get a TD... HAPPY! |
![]() | he'd blow out a knee... you guessed it |
![]() | Tom Tupa or Nate Clements |
![]() | yeah, Tupa is a great punter/4th string QB |
![]() | And his name is highly entertaining |
![]() | TWO-PAH |
![]() | Tooooooooooooooooooo-Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! |
![]() | almost Tupac |
![]() | Either way, my entertainment is high |
![]() | look how happy!: |
![]() | ![]() |

![]() | Jesus |
![]() | he's busy batting for the red sox |
![]() | lions ain't signing him |
![]() | Jets need a WR |
![]() | So do the Cardinals |
![]() | Emmitt Smith and Terrell Owens on one team |
![]() | cards have other areas of need. Like Defense |
![]() | Thats never stopped them before from doing something stupid |
![]() | Jacksonville? Tennessee? |
![]() | Eagles? |
ESPN.com: GEN - Prep schooler kicks 62-yard extra point
![]() | Following the TD return, Rosenbaum and his teammates drew 15-yard penalties for excessive celebration, unsportsmanlike conduct and taunting. That put the ball at the 45 for the point-after, and Rosenbaum split the uprights in the third quarter to highlight Wilson High School's 41-0 victory over Spingarn on Friday night. |
![]() | Oddly, Rosenbaum's longest field goal is only 27 yards, kicked last week. He will attend Virginia next year on a soccer scholarship. |
![]() | Nothing Tony couldn't do. |
![]() | 62... I could probably kick that with a low probability |
![]() | I have kicked a soccer ball in the air that far |
My Theory: Overtime In Any Sport Is Compelling
![]() | you ever watch college football overtime? |
![]() | I can't stand watching a baseball or hockey game, but if its in overtime, I can enjoy it |
![]() | I can't watch college football overtime. it takes FOREVER |
![]() | Interesting note: the motorsports lack overtimes... |
![]() | Golf overtime is interesting as well |
![]() | The whole do-or-die concept entertains me greatly |
![]() | which is why college football OT sucks so much |
![]() | Best part about baseball overtimes: running out of pitchers |
![]() | in the postseason, they'll play starters if need be |
![]() | but then, you have the intrigue of a starter with a reliever's warmup |
![]() | I need a way for my TiVo to record all the overtimes :) |
![]() | So if you stumble upon a college football game that's gone into overtime, you aren't interested in seeing the result? |
![]() | no. I immediately change the channel. I seriously cannot stand it |
![]() | Your psychological quirks are unending |
![]() | its "who makes the first mistake" versus "who can do it better" |
![]() | Another great thing about overtimes: Seeing the fans who want to go home because its really really late, but can't because its such a compelling end of the game |
My bold prediction
![]() | Kobe is going to jail |
![]() | That has been my inclination lately on that issue as well |
![]() | he claimed that in a vision, what Kobe did was "turn the girl over to aviod pregnancy" |
![]() | and this is when she objected |
![]() | Like a pancake? |
![]() | yep |
![]() | She objected to non impregnation? |
![]() | Or being treated like so much pancake |
![]() | she objected to where the non-impregnation took place |
![]() | What did he turn her over onto then? |
![]() | Turn her over onto a cactus or something? |
![]() | man, this must be what its like to talk to me |
![]() | Just explain the "where" comment! |
![]() | ASS! |
![]() | Ahh |
![]() | POOP SHOOT! |
![]() | Chute, not Shoot |
![]() | yeah, there too |
![]() | Well I can't wait for that testimony in all its glory |
![]() | I think that may be too much for even the tabloids to print on their front pages |
![]() | Can't wait for the Made-For-TV Movie either |
![]() | they had a lawyer on responding to the psychics prediction |
![]() | Oh, do tell. |
![]() | apparently, there is precedence which will send him to jail if this indeed is what occured |
![]() | The girl should be happy it wasn't Shaq. She'd still be unable to walk. |
![]() | or Tommy Lee! |
![]() | This episode of Pants is going to have to be broadcast after 1:00 AM. |

NFL First-Quarter Picks
![]() | This time last year, I predicted the Oakland/Tampa Bay Super Bowl... time for this year's edition |
![]() | NFC: Odd set of contenders: Minnesota, Seattle, Carolina and Tampa Bay looking the strongest |
![]() | the NFC East is a crapshoot |
![]() | AFC: Kansas City is the obvious winner here |
![]() | I don't think either Denver of Indianapolis can avoid the injuries or sucky QB action to make it far |
![]() | So for the NFC, Minnesota has the easiest path to the playoffs, having such a wimpy division |
![]() | Don't know if they have what it takes to make it deep into the playoffs |
![]() | I don't think Carolina can keep it up |
![]() | Seattle would just be too weird |
![]() | I think the key factor this year in the NFL is being able, and willing, to run the ball a lot |
![]() | ok here it goes: |
![]() | Kansas City over Minnesota is my first-quarter super bowl pick |
![]() | I think Tampa Bay will look better but just barely lose a playoff game |
![]() | Miami will fade as usual |
![]() | Tennessee will suffer injuries as usual |
![]() | For reference, my pre-season pick was Tampa Bay and Miami |
![]() | Buffalo coudl still surprise, but I think they'll split their division games |
![]() | I predict it won't be BEARS vs. BENGALS |
![]() | I'll bet $10,000 its not Bears Vs. Lions :) hehehehe |
![]() | yeah, the chances of 2 NFC teams is low |
![]() | Especially two bad teams from one division |
![]() | barring injury, MIAMI looks pretty good |
![]() | NFC is so cloudy... maybe it'll be the Redskins |
![]() | I'd rather let Shaq.... ahem before Spurrier gets in the Super Bowl in his 2nd year |
![]() | It'll probably be Tampa |
![]() | I think the Vikings could do it if they manage a first round bye |
![]() | They got great line play and are willing to run the ball |
![]() | And if they get behind, they can muster a mighty passing game |
![]() | how well do they do if Moss goes down? |
![]() | Moss ain't going down, he's a fucking noodle... he's never been hurt |
![]() | It hurt my feelings when the Lions took Pinner instead of Onterrio Smith |
![]() | I would have taken Suggs or Smith over Pinner |
![]() | my preseason picks have had serious injury problems. |
![]() | Broncos over Rams could still happen! |
![]() | Yes, they have not been mathematically eliminated yet... |
![]() | Jake Plummer CANNOT win, its ridiculous |
![]() | They said the same thing about DILFER |
![]() | But at least Dilfer is a man |
![]() | Plummer is a whiny little boy with a learning disability |
![]() | Denver's Linebackers are X-Tra fast |
![]() | good special teams |
![]() | J A K E P L U M M E R I S H O R R I B L E |
![]() | depth at every position |
![]() | Sounds like something Kobe would approve of |
![]() | you're going to hell |
![]() | Fantastic! |
![]() | Going from Hell to Heaven takes about 16 hours |
Rappers Fighting Zombies?
Wow, subscribing must be really neat
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | I can read an ENTIRE ARTICLE instantly! |
![]() | Dude, that rules |
![]() | Instantly isn't very long |
![]() | What if the article was infinitely long |
![]() | good question |
![]() | maybe you would get your money back |
![]() | You should write some code that generates infinitely long fractal-based articles on video game |
I think UofM should hire Houston Nutt
![]() | Former coach of Boise State University, I'll have you know |
![]() | I know. He trounces them every year, to give BSU their annual loss |
![]() | Thats where he got good |
![]() | annual festival, which calls for strict vegetarianism, also features bizarre body piercing with unusual items. |
![]() | as opposed to the bizarre body piercing with USUAL items |
![]() | or plain body piercing with unusual items |
![]() | its the magical combination of bizarre piercing with unusual items that makes Thailand so wonderful |
![]() | and by wonderful, i mean very very horrible |
![]() | Key note: the location of this festival is in Phuket, Thailand |
![]() | If you lived in "Phuket" you wouldn't really care either |
![]() | I think the yahoo captionists need a raise. This stuff is GOLDEN |
![]() | I pass Yahoo!'s offices every single day, they're on the corner of Lockheed's campus, they bought those buildings from us |
![]() | I should throw something at them |
![]() | Note: weekends are not days |
![]() | thailand has major cities named "BANGCOCK" and "PHUKET". |
![]() | some sense of humor they have! |
![]() | Some jackass just gave Thailand a English dictionary with changed defitions as a practical joke |
![]() | They think "Bang Cock" means "Honorable Sacred Land" |
![]() | I have been informed that it is "BANGKOK" |
![]() | Well thats just because they can't spell |
![]() | And tell your informant to make you a sandwich |
![]() | we are so getting the full cavity search in customs if we ever travel to thailand |
![]() | That treatment is also known as "Beautiful Place of Serenity" |
There was a pope called "Pope Urban VIII"...
![]() | is that not like an ultimate rap name? |
![]() | Or a really really bad action movie |
![]() | hey, if movies were judged by name alone... |
![]() | Fight Club would suck |
![]() | so would "DIE HARD" |
![]() | Wonder if there were any Pope Rurals |
![]() | nope |
![]() | no Pope Warrens either |
![]() | No Pope Tony, or Pope Foibas |
who is your favorite historical scientist?
![]() | While I might refer to Euclid the most, that doesn't not mean he's my favorite |
![]() | Fermat is popular because of the book |
![]() | Socrates and Copernicus are up there mighty high |
![]() | Archimedes was pretty cool |
![]() | Newton is over-rated |
![]() | And exceedingly imprecise |
![]() | Nicolas Flamel |
![]() | isn't he in harry potter? |
![]() | yeah, but he was a real dude who supposedly found the philosopher's stone |
![]() | so when they made the american harry potter "sorcerer's stone", they made it extra lame? |
![]() | What a charming fellow: ![]() |
![]() | I just like that the dude actually existed |
![]() | Shit, dude, I exist. |
![]() | Worship me |
![]() | were you in harry potter? |
![]() | I can't disclose that information. |
![]() | he looks like a garden gnome |
![]() | I bet he got more action than Matt does |
![]() | GIS for garden gnome yields ![]() |
![]() | Euclid had nice booty |
![]() | a nice booty? or he landed hot chicks? |
![]() | his booty was nice |
![]() | he had nice booty |
![]() | like spoils from plundering ships? |
![]() | its a mystery lost to history |
![]() | No opinions of Ptolemy? |
![]() | We should have a Scientist Tournament, like other websites have Video Game Character Tournaments |
![]() | that would be an interesting addition to pantsbot |

Odd Fun With IMDB
![]() | Changing the number in the URL, you can look at the oldest movies they have on record: |
![]() | 1.) Carmencita - 1894 |
![]() | can you see movies in the future? |
![]() | 5.) Blacksmith Scene - 1893 (Plot Outline: Three men hammer on an anvil and pass a bottle of beer around.) |
![]() | 6.) Chinese Opium Den - 1894 An old classic, but an imdb rating of just 1.6 |
![]() | guess not! |
![]() | WHOA That link makes imdb FREAK OUT!! |
![]() | The very highest movie number in the imdb database as of 9/29/03: Zzolbyeon sucheob 2 |
![]() | Its a sequel, how fitting |
![]() | another franchise that should have stopped at 1 |
fucking werewolves
![]() | taking all our jobs |
![]() | stealing all our women |
![]() | sending back for their werewolf families, living off our welfare |
![]() | fucking werewolves |
![]() | man, Foiba sure hates werewolves |
![]() | I have yet to lose a job to a werewolf, or encounter a werewolf at work |
![]() | werewolves so hit their prime in like 10th grade |
![]() | In their 10th grade? Or your 10th grade? |
![]() | they are one and the same! |
![]() | Didn't you see TEEN WOLF? |
![]() | DER TONY IST EINE WEREWOLFEN! |
![]() | did you know that they made a sequel to teen wolf? |
![]() | i don't think it did so well at the box office |
![]() | some movie franchises just need to stop at #1 |
![]() | Speaking of long-winded hairy things, didn't those dog movies about Beethoven go to like #4or #5in the Sequels? |
![]() | yes. here is the imdb entry |
![]() | "If you like this title, we also recommend... |
![]() | "Snakeeater (1989) (TV)" |
![]() | fucking werewolves |
![]() | I think they made a lot of those "Shaggy Dog" movies |
![]() | For completeness... Beethoven 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 |
![]() | Is there any movie series that has more sequels than Star Trek? |
![]() | I guess if Star Trek 10 counts, do you have to count all James Bond movies as "sequels" ? |
![]() | Friday the 13th had a lot. So did Halloween and puppet master |
![]() | Now the James Bond/Star Trek sequel debate is one to have the next time you get around with all your dork friends and act like you're cool and drunk. |
![]() | you looking in Foiba's direction? |
![]() | Omnidirectional. |
![]() | Trek never went to ten movies. There were six for TOS and four for TNG |
![]() | and technically the Friday the 13th series went to 9 movies. "Jason X" is a new series |
![]() | even then, the original Friday the 13th saga ended with part IV, so that can be considered a series unto itself |
![]() | V through IX just kinda happened when people weren't watching |
![]() | yeah, "Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan" more like, "Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason Wants to Take Manhattan but the Budget is Restricting So He Spends Most of the Movie on a Boat. He Kills a Bum in Manhattan in Like the Last Five Minutes" |
![]() | Bond, James Bond? |
![]() | you really have to consider each Bond actor as his own series |
![]() | like Dalton took the series back to its gritty nature, especially after Roger Moore |
![]() | the Roger Moore series of Bond movies got ridiculous |
![]() | So how many Batman movies were there then? |
![]() | Batman's the movie that proves my point. There's been six "Batman" "movies," one was from the 30s, one from the 60s and then the four recent ones from the 90s |
![]() | not to mention the animated movies that went straight to video |
Tony's comparison of PS2 Madden 2004 vs GC NCAA 2004
![]() | Some notes: Madden 2004 for PS2 is at most half as good as NCAA 2004 for gamecube. |
![]() | NCAA has much better animations. Smoother and more realistic |
![]() | Madden has madden. VERY annoying |
![]() | NCAA's dynasty mode is at least as good as Madden's franchise |
![]() | NCAA's AI is better |
![]() | It is very possible to run the ball in NCAA (you can run the option AND run up the middle) |
![]() | it seems that the best play in madden is the bomb to Randy Moss. Viking are hence the best team in the game |
![]() | music is better in NCAA. College fight songs versus some very BAD rap |
![]() | and its not like I don't like rap! |
![]() | loading times are not noticable on GC. they are very tedious on PS2 |
![]() | the difference is smoothness of gameplay is not even fair. PS2 is soooooo choppy. GC is silky smooth. |
![]() | the PS2 does have 4 shoulder buttons. ease of stiffarm is helpful |
![]() | network gameplay in Madden is nice |
![]() | in conclusion, if they made NCAA 2004 for Gamecube network playable, it would be the best game EVER |
![]() | the feature that madden (and all pro games with a draft needs) is better draft pick trading |
![]() | the way the draft works is you target a player (or some players) |
![]() | (i mean in real life) |
![]() | and you can trade up or down to get that player, seeing how the board plays out |
![]() | in madden, you have your draft slots, and the computer picks until it gets to your slot |
![]() | what I would like to see is a more interactive draft, where you can slow down the draft, offer trades, and so on |

I got a yellow card playing soccer yesterday
![]() | I asked the ref why I got it, since I was quite surprised |
![]() | his response, "You're a big guy, you could hurt someone!" |
![]() | my response, "being big is no reason for a yellow card" |
![]() | That could be the opening line to a porno. |
![]() | The ref's line, that is. |
![]() | his response, "oh, yes it is!" |
![]() | soccer porn? |
![]() | There's another kind?! |
![]() | that GOOOOOOOOAL guy would be an interesting porn announcer |
![]() | He's got an "O-face", I assure you. |
![]() | you can do better that that! |
![]() | .. |
![]() | .. |
![]() | .. |
![]() | Unfortunately, its difficult to riff off of such a horribly flawed premise. Since when does porn have announcers? |
![]() | Thats some fucked up shit right there. |
![]() | was that last comment faux porn announcing? |
![]() | No, it was an observation about how insane porn with announcers would be. |
![]() | insane good, or insane bad? |
![]() | Insane atrocity |
![]() | ah, insane clown posse bad |
![]() | What part of porn is so complex you need another human to explain it to you play-by-play? |
![]() | the second part |
![]() | <wink> |
![]() | I think the word bad should be replaced with this picture ![]() |
![]() | I'm starting to think the idea of exceedingly complex porn intrigues me |
![]() | We need a transcendent artist to take us to a new level, an MC Escher of Porn |
![]() | like porn that continues to infinity? |
![]() | and porn that is geometrically impossible in a euclidean universe |
![]() | I thought we lived in a Newtonian universe |
![]() | Physics are Newtonian, but the Geometry is Euclidean |
![]() | so we live in 2 universes? |
![]() | We live in one universe, but it has many proper name adjectives |
![]() | in any case, I wasn't able to talk my way out of the yellow card |
![]() | Perhaps if your penis could behave like a klein bottle with enthusiastic Spanish announcement in an alternate universe portrayed by a transcendental artist, then you could get out of your yellow card! |
![]() | why didn't I think of that? |
There needs to be a literature equivalent of imaginary numbers
![]() | what's funny is as an English Major, I have no idea what you're talking about |
There is a need for more Suzy Kolber on the web
![]() | If this was 4 years ago, I think we could pitch that business plan and get some venture capital |
![]() | Time machine? |
![]() | shoot, we could get venture capital for wacky website logo design |
![]() | I'd like to try and get some capital for something related to "1000 nintendo Characters Babies 2004" |
![]() | you know, that sounds like a more solid business plan that pets.com |
![]() | In the sexy battle between Suzy Kolber and Alex Flanagan, Suzy is the winner, but there is no nude |
![]() | I'll invest $40 |
![]() | I could photoshop a nude for $40! |

![]() | note to future leagues... PLURALS SELL! |
![]() | So do things that are tangible |
![]() | Or can be easily drawn in a game of Pictionary |
![]() | like ET for Atari? |
![]() | "Courage" and "Beat" ... not so much drawable |
![]() | drawing a Packer is just so WRONG |
![]() | Psh |
![]() | Depends on what he's packing |
![]() | packing 'cheese' into a 'box' isn't so despicable, is it? |
![]() | see, draw that, and someone ain't guessing that on the first try |
![]() | Quicker than they'd guess 'Spirit' or 'Freedom' |
![]() | or was I missing some metaphor with cheese and box? |
![]() | Nothing says 'Freedom' like a man packing cheese into a box |
![]() | what about a man packing cheese into two boxes? |
![]() | Well now thats just questionable labor practices! |
![]() | another sign your league will fail: too many teams for which OPERATION IRAQI <insert name here> seems like a reasonable name for a war-like initiative |
![]() | If you can't go as it for Halloween, its probably a bad team name |
![]() | if i recall correctly, warren went dressed as a brown just last year |
Monkey chandelier and light fixture: import
![]() | I was thinking of posting that with a clever title... |
![]() | but the owner of this site beat me to it |
![]() | From far away, its classy and low-key... |
![]() | ... but up close, its a horrid monstrosity |
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | the monkey humping the lamp (in number 1239) is ... classic? |
![]() | I especially like the "monkey butler waiter" |
![]() | 3' high! |
![]() | Now thats a high monkey! |
![]() | this site makes me think I have been wasting my life |
![]() | when you could have been making monkey-based light-fixtures all this time? |
![]() | indeed. |
Whats up with Daunte Culpepper having four broken back bones?
![]() | Thats not good for business |
![]() | apparently he would have needed to break even more to be considered injured |
![]() | Why can't that happen to Manning? |
![]() | Preferrably, all of them! |
![]() | Vanderjagt voodoo curse side effect. Manning will never be injured. |
![]() | <morrowind> Just like corprus! </morrowind> |

![]() | Yes, I spelled that wrong |
![]() | we could put Judy Judy out of business |
![]() | and I can't spell judge |
Tony, you still approving of the Detroit Tiger's plans?
![]() | indeed |
![]() | Its certainly record setting. |
![]() | I approved of them being the worst team ever |
![]() | and, if I recall correctly, the Mets won the world series a few years later |
![]() | See you in 2005. |

Brilliant Idea for a Simple Invention
![]() | So my phone is one of those fancy electronic jobbies, so instead of a metal-on-metal real bell ringer, its one of those electronic noises |
![]() | Much less audible |
![]() | I'd prefer a nice metal bell |
![]() | So you add a metal bell in between the phone jack and the phone... it sits on the line in-between, intecepts the ring signal, and rings like a sonofabitch |
![]() | i think a device that deploys a stop sign at a traffic light when power goes out would be a good invention |
![]() | I'd imagine this could sell decently on the late-night TV-ad circuit, considering its simplicity |
![]() | For all you aspiring young electrical engineers who want to use this for some quick cash, leave a web comment and I'll hook you up :) |
![]() | mine could be sold in cities after disasters strike |
