    That RAWK post has to be a wind up
  2. The last Montreal Expo still playing...
  3. Whatever happened to those animated football skit videos from a few years back? I remember one with Berbatov dressed as Dracula saying "I am so tired..." Anyone remember them, they were very funny.
  4. deGromm with 11 K's today, a one hitter. Looking dominant lately. Now if Niese can pull it together and Syndergaard can keep solid, I'll have 3 Mets pitchers to bank on. Niese is not flashy, but very steady. Go Mets
  5. Some superb goals in that game, holy cow
  6. http://guysamericankitchenandbar.com
  7. NYPD last week shot and killed a hammer maniac who'd been going around Manhattan hitting people over the head with the claw end. The blunt end probably would have done more damage as nobody was killed , but the dude was a sicko. A bloody hammer on his Facebook page, paranoid delusions...

    For a moment there I thought maybe you'd forgotten to put on your underpants.
  9. But what we are seeing is nonetheless a boon to weapons manufacturers. The Iraqi and Jordanian armies are directly armed by the US. And the longer this drags on, the more likely it will develop in to an actual ground war scenario all over again, which equals $$$ for everyone with a vested interest in continued mayhem over there. It might not be a net benefit to "Global Finance", but for specific sectors it absolutely is. That was my original point.
  10. I'm not sure about that. While I can see that Gov'ts are not condemning the Suadi's as they should be, because the Saudi's buy lots of expensive toys and own lots of expensive proerties in London and NY and so on and pay taxes and all of that, I don't think "we are fighting to keep [Defence contractors] humming...the most cynical military pursuit in history.". In fact, many would and have argued that we should be fighting but aren't. The current enemy is ISIS, but ISIS is a direct result of a destabilized Iraq, which is a direct result of US led military adventurism. We are fighting in ISIS in every way but with infantry, but as soon as Baghdad falls, there will be infantry deployed there. Obama has no election to win, and the incoming president will not want to look weak. But the politics and the particulars don't really matter in the long run if what you really care about are the quarterly reports from defense contractors. What matters long term to these people is keeping the region unstable. Obama/Clinton/Whoever will send in the newest jet fighter and drone and state of the art weapons system to keep the marketplace of weaponry buzzing. ISIS is a goldmine, and when they are "defeated", a new mortal enemy will require the newest latest shiny new killing machine.
  11. I keep a wallet in my front pocket, but a separate billfold, so I don't look like a tourist every time I need to pay with cash.
  12. Of the big Sky clubs, Arsenal would offend me the least as his destination.
  13. Should we Praise You for that titbit of info? I think you should
  14. Highest scoring Belgian in PL history...and maybe domestic English league football history?
  15. So I hear Fatboy Slim is heading a consortium to buy Villa?
  16. YES! But my idiot housemate keeps turning the knives around that way....I'm about to use one on him
