  1. You guys are missing the big one.The play of the season is Oregon -3 vs. Oklahoma.  Iceman guaranteeth an Oregon blowout.  Trust Iceman on this one.Ice
    im a loyal oregon fan and i wouldent put a nickel on this game, oregon does not want to be there, they got jobbed out of a major bowl, look what happened to cal last year
    This is a good point, but I don't think Oregon feels nearly as slighted as Cal did last year, and Cal played a decent but low-profile team.Oregon got a pretty big name draw in Oklahoma, and will be eager to take advantage of the chance to show their chops in a big national audience game. Besides: Oklahoma is just atrocious.Wang
  2. If someone with <100 posts starts showing up making ridiculous claims and telling stupid stories in every post and utilizing fake-dialogue to the point of distraction, it's probably me.Ice
    Wang: "You mean like this?"Yeah, of course. What else would I mean?Wang: (shrug) "I'm new. How should I know?"This isn't funny, and it's just proof that you've got a ridiculous amount of time to waste on a Saturday afternoon.Wang: "Fuck you. I'm drunk."You're stupid, and your name is stupid, and I hate you.Wang
  3. I think arguments can be made for the following songs:1) Satisfaction- Rolling Stones2) Sympathy for the Devil- Rolling Stones3) Anything by Led Zeppelin- Led Zeppelin4) Nothing by Slipknot- SlipknotWang

  4. I think my biggest weakness is my tendency to respond to too many situations with too much aggression, too often.That being said, I've been trying to slow down in situations like this. In the past, I'd tell myself the same thing you would: "No way he's got a 3. Pop it." This is GOOD in situations where your hand's a small favorite or a dog, but bad when you're a huge favorite, for the reasons you outlined above. When I'm playing online, I just think to myself, "What do I want to happen?" I slow down, take my time, and force myself to run through the scenarios.Sometimes I miss them, but I'm definitely picking up more and more bets (and saving bets when I'm wrong) by taking better lines here, and over the last few months it's gotten more instinctual. No longer do I have to FORCE myself to slowdown in situations where it should be obvious. I still have my "Duh, I'm ahead. I raise" moments, but they're fewer and farther between than before.

  5. Nobody likes Hip Hop in this forum??
    im listening to del the funky homospien becuase of the discussion i saw about it in a different thread i think. good stuff. i also listen to cannibal ox a lot, waiting for their next cd to come out. and i listened to atmosphere earlier today.
    "The plan is planned into everyone of my thousand robotsWe will not hesitateWe will destroy the homosapiensPlease, stay where you areI wanna develop a supervirusBetter by far then that old y 2 kThis 3030 the time of global unification break right through theyterminals, burn em allSlaves to siliconCurupt politicians with leaders and thier keywordsF.B.I and spies stealin bombsDecipitate thier plans in thier face and catch the feverEverybody loot the stores get your caned goodsEven space stations are having a hard timeBeast keeepers seek to take our manhoodWhich results in the form of global aparthied"Del. I didn't know people still listened to Del. You a Kool Keith fan? Listen to Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octago, AKA, Kool Keith. It's stellar. One of my favorite albums of the 1990s, and I'm not even a big hiphop fan.WangWang
  6. My problem is people like you who say "you are a tool because you are saying that music sucks when you haven't even listened to it." HOW DO YOU KNOW I HAVEN'T LISTENED TO IT!?!? YOU DON'T KNOW ME. SEEMS KIND OF HYPOCRITICAL OF YOU TO COMMENT ON ME, SOMEONE WHO YOU HAVE NEVER MET......AND IF YOU THINK TYPING IN CAPS MEANS I AM "YELLING," THEN YOU, SIR, ARE SADLY MISTAKEN.
    1) I am a hypocrite, and I'm comfortable with it. Doesn't change the veracity of a single of my comments2) You admitted you hadn't listened to all of it, but "probably" listened to most of it. You don't even know. Which leads me to doubt your credibility... Then again, I'm a hypocrite, so I'm not the best person to comment on credibility problems, eh?3) I'm pretty sure when you hit that caps lock key, the voice in your head got louder. It means you're yelling. Cool it, hepcat. I read you loud and clear. 4) "The Jack" just started playing on my iTunes shuffle. You don't have to yell at me anymore.Wang
  7. If your response to this is that life in prison is “not enough” for the worse criminals, you must let us know why it is not enough. In what way is life in prison unsatisfactory and how is the death penalty superior as a punishment.
    My response is that life in prison is a burden on society. The cost to house them is a burden. The cost to feed them is a burden. The manpower to guard them is a burden. The cost of their lifelong appeals is a burden. The need to use that square footage of prison is a burden. The small risk of their escape is a burden. All this for what? So they can exist.
    Already been said, but it's actually more efficient to house them than kill them. It costs more (see the studies earlier in the thread) to go through the entire execution process, on average, than to imprison someone for life. So the Death Penalty actually creates a greater burden.It's not so they "can exist." It's so that, as a society, we can look ourselves in the mirror and smile. Electrocuting someone is barbaric; so is filling someon's veins with poison.It's going across the line, and serves NO PURPOSE save to sate our bloodlust. We're better than that.Wangwang
  8. WHO THE F*CK SAID I HAVEN'T "SPUN'EM" A FEW TIMES!??!? The thread is about today's music, I (unfortunately) hear a lot of today's music b/c of my roommates, and I don't like most of it. Thus, I say most of today's music sucks. SO THE F*CK WHAT!?!?!? I didn't personally insult you, so drop it hobo!!KOWBOYKOOP
    Was it the Chiefs thing? Did you take that personally? It was the Chiefs thing, wasn't it? I knew it. Everyone from Missouri is very sensitive about the Chiefs. "I know you are, but what am I?!"Whatever, Francis.Wang
  9. I think I play it just like you did. This is why raising KJo sucks, but I do it anyway.
    no, this is wrong. Raising KJo in a short handed game is standard and should be done all the time
    I didn't say not to.It just sucks. It's a crappy hand to play. I hate it. I'm sure I clearly stated that I play it the exact same way.Raising KJ0 just sucks, and fills me with a little dread. Not as much dread as knowing I might have to, for example, fuck a fat chick, but less dread than, say, having to clean my apartment.Misunderstanding's cleared upWangWang
  10. AWWWWWWW...did the newbie not like my opinion that most of today's music sucks....awwwwwwww.I have listened to more of it than you think. All of it?? No. A lot of it, probaboy so.
    Haha, no; I have no problem if you like the music or not. I couldn't care less what tunes smoke your weiner.I just think it's ignorant to engage in an (admittedly) uninformed bashing of the discs if you ain't even spun'em. Spin'em a few times, then bash'em. That's the process.It would be me like saying, "The Chiefs are terrible, and Larry Johnson couldn't hold Chris Warren's jockstrap" without ever watching them play. Or maybe watching them once or twice. I don't like hiphop that much either, but there's always the occassional artist that strikes my fancy. Kanye's on that list, along with Madvillian, WuTang, Del, and Common. My vote goes for Clap Your Hands Say YeahWangWang
  11. God, I'm freaking old....I've never heard of about 95% of the bands that have been mentioned in this thread.
    It's not because you're old. It is because most of them suck.
    You, sir, are a tool. Nobody knew who the White Stripes were when I was raving about them right after De Stijl came out. I'm willing to bet you've spent about 20 minutes listening to all the above music, combined. All of it on Kanye's disc. But you quit halfway through, because you don't like hiphop.Toolkit.
  12. (Conversation Overheard in Ann Arbor circa 2001)Friend of Wang: "Want another beer?"Shimmering Wang: "No thanks, I'm about to vomit."FOW: "That's cool. Hey, I bet you can't break this plate with your head."SW: "How much?"FOW: "30 bucks."SW: "Dude, it's so on...."(Conversation heard at UM hospital, 1 hour later)Physician's Assistant: "Well, that should do it. Come back in 2 weeks and I'll take out the stitches. Your hair might not grow over the scar, but as long as you leave it long you'll be fine." (walks away)Friend of Wang: "Hey, I bet you can't get that needle an inch into your vein all by yourself......."Wang

  13. Easy peasey, JapaneseyIce
    are you saying that the japanese are easy?cuz damn, i do have a soft spot for asian women.aseem
    1) I dated a Vietnamese woman for a time, so I can say anything I want about any Asian nationality- even the real insensitive stuff. It's allowed. It's in the rules.2) I also share your soft spot for Asian women.3) Sadly, most of the Asian women I've met are either so easy as to "discourage action" if you will, or require a ring before penetration.4) See? See how I can say disparaging things about an entire race w/o fear or repercu- (lightning bolt)Fine fine, I'm doneWang
