Gotta dig that funky tune.

This is the new website for Kevin 'Shaft' Weekes? Possibly Huggy Bear, with flares big enough to close up that awful 5-hole he has

Ok, I've got the beers, popcorn, ice cream and the remote for tonight's all nighter. Avs and Stars at Pepsi Centre. It starts about 3.00 am local time. Should be a good one.

Johnny Damon WAS loyal to Boston. He asked for money, the Sox management said no, he left.

This makes the Boston management disloyal.

And technically you, because you take every available opportunity to rip David Wells. You don't catch Yankees fans ripping the Yanks players, because they know next game will be back to normal. Oh wait, the Red Sox are being loyal by ripping their favourite players.

By the way, Cleveland gave you a nice outing last night, didn't they? What was it? 15 runs?

That is the most stupid piece of advice I have ever heard. That is the number one piece of advice to scare a girl off on a first date. Unless (and this is a rare occurence) that you both get 'the vibe' let her ask the 'Do you believe in love at first sight?' question

Simply apply one of the basic rules to make a woman talk. Ask her a question. Questions can start conversation threads and can spiral almost anywhere.

My 2nd NG birthday today. Check out my stats analysis on the LUL in the Wi/Ht forum

Congratulations. There's some nice upgrades in there, I'll go for another Strat Baron run to get some more beaststalker gear tonight.

Ok, it's my second anniversary of having an account on NG. I've analysed the stats (yay statboy!) and here we go.

Statistic 2005 / 06 target 06 total 2006 / 07 target
Experience 7,000 7,270 10,000

Ok, a ‘blip’ with the computer / internet access meant I missed three days of deposits, so I’m still without a full year of depositing. Third time’s a charm

Exp Rank Top 750 578 / 977,259 Top 200

Level 15 15 18

I’d expect with my depositing to at least make some progress along the levels. 18 seems about right to me

Blams 8,000 7,641 15,000

Well, the pace slackened off, but mainly because I’ve been nurturing flashes I’d have expected to be blamed a year or so ago. It makes me a better person.

Saves 2,500 3,288 6,500

See above comments. I’d love to get my saves total rolling to help my quest for EGSC

Total B/P 10,500 10,929 21,500

EGSC will probably be on its way to me during the 2007/08 season. Until then, I’ll keep pumping up the stats as much as possible. Note the target is to almost double my B/P total over the next year.

B/P Rank Top 200 224 / 977,259 Top 125

Top 100 seems a little out of reach, but I’ll give it a shot. That would be awesome

Posts 4,000 5,905 10,000

Can I spam? I think I proved that over the past few years.

Posts per day No target 8.106/day 9.000/day

I might just be able to up my ppd to 9.000 it’s rising less than it used to, maybe I should start posting at home again.

Reviews No Target 151 225

It’s been a quiet year for reviews. I’d like to change that, so I made myself a target. Worth a shot.

Someone make me an NGBirthday cake!

I agree totally. It never hurts to nurture a good connection which may blossom into a great relationship later on in life.

Everybody should bring their emotions along, leave them in the garage and go race, then get emotional.

This probably won't happen, as we missed out on THE BIG ONE in Daytona, but NASCAR's new regulations on fender supports, to eliminate dangerous slam drafts may make the race safer and more enjoyable.

The 8 car will conjour up some emotions on Sunday. Black paint job for what would have been Dale Senior's 55th birthday. At his favourite track too.

They never caught him doping before and with the cloud of suspicion around him, he'll be stupid to try anything. He'll probably pass Ruth, unless his body breaks down severly in the near future, but I doubt he'll pass Aaron, or even come within 20. It'll be like a fog lifts when he retires, not that I'm sayin there won't be 'roid users, but their no.1 suspect and illeged frontman will be gone. People will talk about his homers, but I think he'll just fade away after this season.

I love the smell of bullshit in the morning. When Barry goes, it'll be a surprisingly fresh odor baseball acquires.

That's a little problematic. The site was run by Alkador. I've lost the address (though it's probably in his sig). The main problem being that Alkador seems to have completely disapeared. (He's stopped using MSN, that's for sure)

I think the thread died, as the few players I had in my game seem to have let it peter out.

They are all about the HK, not helping the team. Horde players are generally more experienced and mature players, hence they generally win despite the fact the Alliance population is higher.

Clearly you've never heard of a 'premade'. This is usually a guild based group which knows each other very well and plays to each player's own strengths. Allies will win quite often with these. If ever you are in a premade against another premade, there is usually a long, very enjoyable game in either WSG or AB.

Premades are as rare as rocking horse shit in AV.

I consider it a sport. All you have to do is look at the physical exertion that the drivers go through during a race. In the mid-summer ones, they will probably lose near enough a gallon of fluid just by sweating. When they climb out of the cars after an event, they are drenched with sweat and are given towels. Tony Stewart could hardly walk after the last race and complained that his team wheeled his car off, while he was leaning on it.

But more importantly, we didn't lose any ground on the Sox. Still a very long way to go.

For anyone who cares Barry Bonds hit his second Homer tonight against Steve Trachsel and the Mets.

Ah, Barry Bonds. A cross between Ty Cobb and Pete Rose. A Jerk who you either love or hate, who may well be one of the greatest players ever to break the rules and get away with it.

Rose admitted his guilt 20 years after he retired. How long will it take Barry?

The most effective way I see to prevent that label is to cut off the association as completely as possible.

Granted, RG was probably 'based heavily on the NG layout', but when you give it time, RG will evolve differently.

For now, I'll stick to NG, as I'm not really sure what I'd need RG for.

Yes it is a shame. The problem being that there is no new material to discuss. We had great discussions when the movies were about and we will again if ever the Hobbit gets made into a film.

I'm currently reading The Divine Comedy, but i was on the shitter a few days ago and noticed the Hobbit, lying on the floor, so i started reading it, and several hours later, i emerged from the toilet with an oval shaped arse, and half the book done. I dont know what to continue with, because i know if i finish the hobbit, i'll start reading Lord of the Rings again, and i really want to read Dante's book :S It's an unusual problem.

You know what happens with the Hobbit. Read Dante, you will still be able to pick up the Hobbit when you have finished.

Michelinman founded this club. It became inactive. Byrd798 came in and made himself the leader. I spent some time chatting with him in here, but I have effectively taken over stewardship of this club. I just like talking about the things I like, like NASCAR.

One of the things I really feel sorry for you about is when the races are for your sake. When I watch GPs from Canada and the States, I get to watch them of an evening, which is nice (Though I try to watch NASCAR, so they tend to clash) At least I get to watch most of the season at a reasonable time, as it is still predominatly European.

Was still late for the appointment though!

That's tough.

That would be cool but it all comes down to one thing. Money. And I don't think McLaren can afford both drivers and a car of championship potential.

I have to agree with you there. They can afford Raikkone and Montoya, but the car is lacking in investment. I was always more of a fan when Couthard was driving, as I never viewed him as being able to win a championship, but he could drive well enough to be a number two for Hakkinen and Raikkonen. He gave such great data on those championship winning cars of Hakkinen's that he could hold on against his competitors.
