Wow....this page is the same year as the Signing of the Declaration of Independence.

congrats to my yank friends!!!

No, this is 1766.

damn, i'm 10 pages ahead of myself.

quick, somebody post 300 posts to save me from looking foolish!!

Hmm, "Mozart returns to Salzburg after touring Paris and London with his father" in 1766...not exactly as impressive.

The early and mid-18th century was quite boring.

But Pixies are good... I was hearing them a few minutes ago.

There okay, been to one of thier local concerts after they reunited.

Pixies are definetely among my favourites. Where is my mind, caribou, gouge away, debaser, tame, I bleed, into the white,...and many more are all great songs.

But most definately have to go to a U2 concert.

Meh. I heard they lost quite a bit of their former touch.

Trying to get Who tickets as well.

I saw them at a festival somewhere in July, they were much better then I expected.
"I think I'll run down to the record store and buy one of their albums"-good, even.

I saw U2 when they came to boston for their last tour. They were everything they were supposed to be.

Just found this site.

I made an account, and I can't find the league. I tried using the search, but it didn't work

It's somewhere orbiting around page 32 in the entire league listing. You'll know you're close when you see the leagues starting with "n"

I knew him personally. I was friends with his oldest sister. She and I went to elementary and high school together. We were also in college together for a little while. I met Andrew when I slept over at her house. He was eight at the time.

Damn.

That's realy shitty. I'm sorry.

Not a good way to go.

{{{rydia}}}

Fucking hell Rydia that sucks ass :( Upon reading the article the following things came to mind:

1. That must have been a very painful and most-unfortunate death. I hope his family can cope with it :/
2. What the hell?! Don't people know elevators have weight restrictions?!
3. My fear of elevators has been renewed. Hello stairs!
4. The stock of Otis Elevator Co. is probably going to experience some falls due to this bad news...
5. This is also bad news for the school which might be sued for negligence since "University President Karen Holbrook told school officials to arrange for an independent review of all dormitory elevators."
6. The whole situation just sucks :(

It's like 4:20 in the morning, I'm dong a 10 page research paper due at 10PM... and I'm disturbed by a mouse that's scuttles here and there in the kitchen where I have my lap top. I spent like a week trying to catch it, but it's still there laughing at me.

It even entered my computer bag and skilled the living fuck out of me when it shot out like a bat from hell. It's scuttles here and there, and it's driving me crazy because I'm seeing it doing it and I can't seem to catch it with traps... I almost caught it with an upside down trash can but it got real lucky.

Yesterday I had a dream I was talking to the mouse and I dreamt that it held the soul of my grandmother. And we were watching the Secret of Nim. So it's like, I can't kill it now, but mice are not things to have in your house...

God, I just want to catch and release it. Let it fend for itself in the wild instead of this neighborhood. But at the same time, I've become attached to it because it reminds me of Mr. Boojangles from The Green Mile...

*sigh*
so tired...

I can’t and won’t deny their massive influence.

Just never saw the pull myself…

There are two schools of thought over the HP books. Some see them as tools to get children interested in reading, children who would otherwise never have picked up a magazine, never mind a book, are now working their way through huge 1000 page tomes.

Then there is the school of thought that say that they are tools of the devil. These people are fucktards. Keep away from them, because they think you are going to hell, they think that your life has no meaning.

While I can see the books are so popular, I do think that there are better storytellers out there. If anybody gets the chance, check out anything by Christopher Brookmyre. Very dark, very funny.

my girlfriend and i recently got a redtailed boa (last week) and we need to feed it small bitty mice for food once a week (we need to get one..he hasn't eaten since last monday), and our room-mate (her best friend) used to raise mice for other snakes she had over the years, but sometimes she got attached and refused to let my girlfriend's snakes eat the mice...so we decided to just drive an hour each week and buy a feeder from petco (apparently petsmart, though they sell snakes, refuse to sell mice as feeders)

I loved that movie. When I saw it on dvd I scooped it right up. There's a lot of heavy stuff in there for cartoon fare. Death, being eaten, genetic manipulation through long needles in the stomach. Of course my neices held no interest. I'm just trying to give them some culture

Those youngsters today! I try with my brother, who's almost 15... I try to expose him to more music than just what's on the radio, because Philly is dominated by hip-hop and R&B on the airwaves. I brought him to Warped Tour, Harry and the Potters, and Less Than Jake. I made him a mix-tape (mix-CD just doesn't sound the same, bleh) and I force him watch my DVDs when he stays at my house.

Speaking of which, he'll be with me next week. I think we'll plan a night of film for Halloween, since we both have off work/school the next day... crap my parents won't let him watch. I know! Troma-fest! He has never had the pleasure of watching Toxic Avenger or (my personal favorite) Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D.

Just don't watch halloween three. It's a fucking travesty to the good name.

First of all, it has nothing to do with Mike Myers. So where the fuck are you trying to call it the same series. At least in friday the thirteenth new blood we thought it was Jason. Hallowen 3 had nothing to do with the other Halloween films.

Spoilers for crap warning.

It centers around a divorced dentist who comes to learn that the company that makes his childrens halloween masks (no, no captian kirk masks) is going to use the masks to brainwash the children. All of this is due to the company founder who hates the American halloween becuase he's from Ireland where it started. Brainwashing children because you're a holiday traditionalist, yeah. And somewhere there's a chick the dentist screws who turns out to be a robot. Wether she was a robot before with the screwing I do not know. Fuck I'm depressed now. I'm gonna watch Jason takes Manhatten and laugh when the boxer offers Jason a free shot.

Halloween 3 will not cross my threshold.

Agreed. It's one of the worst horror movies of all time, and inexplicably lumped into the Halloween movie series.

i've got to admit, i'm not a horror fan. i dont like going to the theaters and paying money to watch them, i dont like the end of october or whenever there's a friday the 13 in any given month and horror films flood my premium movie channels...fuck, i pay extra money each month to watch movies and softcore porn at 2am...and instead i get B rated zombie flicks (not just typical zombie flicks, but the ones that only cinimax shows...the ones that no other channel would even consider using...because cinimax cant afford any others)....the only zombie movie i liked was shawn of the dead.

To me they were just a low quality Lord of the Rings or His Dark Materials.

I never got into His Dark Materials, but I think I can say with certainty that the age group that LOTR is intended for and best appreciated by is much older than the kids reading the Harry Potter series. Except for The Hobbit, Tolkien's books were really adult fantasy. I don't know very many 8-year-olds who can get into Return of the King, do you?

I've read the Potter books. They're fluff, for the most part, though I think Rowling has done an excellent job of making each one a little more grown-up (in terms of tone, etc.) than the last. She's aging her writing with its audience, which has to be challenging. I wouldn't take them as seriously as some of the other fantasy out there, but they're surprisingly well-written. If you can make a middle-school kid sit down and read a 600-page book, and have that same book be entertaining and fun for a 20-year-old college student, that's a success. The Potter series is not "low-quality" so much as it is light-weight.

John Carpenter's original intent to was to release a different movie every halloween and still have it under the Halloween franchise name. Unfortunatly, Carpenter tried to do this AFTER establishing Michael Myers as a main character.

I haven't seen too many of the Friday the 13th movies, but I do enjoy that kind of humor.

First horror movie I EVER saw; Freddy versus Jason, and I was 19 when it came out. I took my little brother with me to see it at one of those Mall theatre cinaplexes, and we were the only people laughing throughout the movie, it was a bizzare experience to say the least...

I was a big Freddy fan once...
It's real sad he he starts of sadistic macabbre master of nightmares, and then turns to lame Sienfeld with a knife glove.

1st movie will always have a place in my heart as one of the most scariest movies I saw as a kid. Although... I liked Dream Child (fifth in the series), which is when the whole series started to degenerate. Don't know why... It's so Picasso-ish and rather pleasing to the eyes. (Sounds weird...)

Least favorite: Freddy's Dead... but FvsJ is up there too...
