Never even heard of the bolded one. Dude! Sunny is hilarious. ROCK FLAG AND EEEEEEAGLE! http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/sunny/#/home/ If you go in the Video section, there are 5 full episodes from season 1 and a bunch of the "Fail" commericals. The fucking Patriot Fail is the best.

As for me... 1. Twin Peaks 2. Space Ghost: Coast 2 Coast 3. Mystery Science Theater 3000 4. Arrested Development 5. Rescue Me 6. Damages

I disagree, it was lack of confidence mainly brought about by the turmoil at the club from September onwards and the mad appt of Kinnear. Players lacking in confidence can be perceived as not battling etc, but I saw no games where they lay down and died. Plenty of passion etc v Boro, Pompey, Chelsea etc - the overreaction due to the shock of going down is clouding people's judgement immeasurably. The current squad less Martins/Beye/Bassong will be fine - top 6 NEE BOTHER. At the same time though, if that much adversity or whatever manifested itself as a lack of confidence or lack of passion or whatever in the players, then won't we be just as bad if not worse in CCC? As you well know, we don't have a manager, Ashley is trying to sell again, etc. etc. The situation is worse now that it was back when Keegan fucked off, so while all the sideshow circus shit could've had an effect on the club, it's not like it's gotten any better...

Oooooh! Peek-a-boo!

Dude, there's like 4,000 homeless (average) in Austin, Texas. Austin. Not Chicago or L.A. or Houston, Austin. The problem is, no one really wants to help them. The Dems just pay lip service so they can keep counting on the poor/ minority vote but institute programs that make it less than cost-effective to get out and get a job, the Republicans are only interested in you if you're rich, white, and male. It's just like this Healthcare bullshit over here. The problem is the HMOs that Nixon signed into existence, not that we don't have nationalized healthcare. The HMOs increased the bill so much that you have to have insurance to be able to afford even the simplest procedures. The uninsured of this country would be it's largest political lobby if they somehow all got together (not that it'd do any good really, you can be big, but unless you've got the money, it's meaningless how big your lobby is). I've just finally come to the conclusion that all these politicians are sort of like me and my maintenance crew at work- if we really did fix everything so it wouldn't break, we'd put ourselves out of the job. What's the sense in doing that? Course, when we make a mistake, we destroy some car parts- not people's lives.

Where's anyone complained? Write a fucking letter and put it under your pillow, in the morning your piece of white shit (ipod) will be magically replaced by a gun. Put gun to head. I like that you qualified your "piece of white shit" statement with "(ipod)" so we wouldn't miss the joke.

Blind with fury? Lols... I mean, I get it, it's like that guy's favorite TV show or whatever, but Jesus... Blind with fury? I wonder how much of this is Fox going, "We have to get out from under the fanboy wagon somehow." Know what I mean? Like the axed Family Guy and everyone went nuts, so they put it back on. Then they cancel Futurama and everyone goes nuts again. Maybe the next time they axe a primetime cartoon the fans won't make as big of deal in fear that their beloved show will be brought back as some differently-voiced uncool, er, thing.

Just a Man is fucking brilliant. I've told my wife ever since we got together that I want, "Lay Me Low" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It's the ultimate funeral song. EDIT: Ah! Here ya go...

Sorry... meant Insomnia. N'Zogbia.

Come on, seriously. How long from when you guys were reading about how Ashley might buy the club until it all went down?

Y'know, I think you might be right... I remember when I was living in Austin, I asked a friend of mine's wife why its easier to get a girlfriend when you already have one. She told me it was because if you already have one, then you must meet some criteria. If you don't have one, you may not. Sort of a litmus test. If Ashley says there's 2 suitors, maybe he thinks that will bring out some fence sitters who want to buy the club but are waiting for some reason. I wasn't into English football the last time this went around, how long did it take Ashley to buy the club? Was it all drawn out like this?

Dude, he doesn't want to hire Shearer because he doesn't want to pay Shearer. Ashley has said he doesn't want to put any more money into the club. We've all read the stories about how there's no tea in the office anymore, etc. etc. That's why. Can't blame Beye either way. Can't blame anyone for wanting to leave. When the owner can't even get things right for his own financial well-being, how can you expect the players to be loyal? (Probably just doesn't want to wear the away kit next season. Can't say I blame him.) On a somewhat related topic- anyone at all believe TFC Ashley had any clue it would get this bad if NUFC was relegated? I just can't help but think if he'd actually fucking understood the worst-case scenario reports he must've been receiving last season we would have done a little more in the transfer window than sell Given and Bassong for McLovin and Nolan.

I was the best man at my friend's wedding and his wife (for some unknown reason) decided she was going to get up and give a speech (this was well after I had already killed with my speech and even threw in 10 "meows" a la Super Troopers). She started spinning this tale of how her new husband and I used to hang out all the time listening to Elton John and he thought it was "Tony Danza" instead of Tiny Dancer, as previously referenced. Not only had neither he nor I been Elton John fans at any point in our lives, he also knew well enough that Sir Elton would never write a song about Tony Danza. I thought maybe he told her that story in some random aside, but he swears he's never said anything remotely like that. One of the strangest lies I've ever heard told. And to a massive group of Filipinos, no less.

Dude, I get that shit off and on when we're going through launches and other interesting stuff here at work. Good news is, other people can't see it. Bad news is, you still feel a bit like... EVERY DAY... IN EVERY WAY... I'M GETTING BETTER, AND BETTER.

Gooch has looked good for the US team lately. He and DeMerit both were great against Egypt and Spain.

Good advice in this thread, but just to throw a couple more sticks on the fire... As Ant mentioned, if you could somehow replace your video card (you can't), that'd probably net you the most difference, but laptop video cards (and low end desktops) a lot of times will steal some of the RAM to use since they don't have their own dedicated memory (or much of it if they do have dedicated memory). Long story long, adding RAM could help you out on that end even though you're not really addressing the actual bottleneck. FWIW, doubling (or better) your RAM generally is the most obvious and effective upgrade you can perform on a PC followed closely by new video card and processor.

Andrew, your avatar made me LOL.

Dude, download "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" from American IV by Johnny Cash. It came up on my shuffle playlist today. Duet with Nick Cave. Brilliant stuff. "Carmelita" by GG Allin isn't bad either. Obviously, he's not exactly known for his country songs, but it's pretty fantastic.

Jimbo, you run across Tomahawk? Got it's moments too-

Greatest video of all time. Hands down.

Jimbo, have you heard this?

Cash.

Nice one, Cid (don't mind if I call you Cid, do ya ??) You have reminded me of summat I carry in my wallet. I have letter my daughter wrote to Santa when she was about four years old. I've got it in the sleeve with the clear plastic so I see it whenever I open it (yeah, yeah, which isn't often. Twats!). She's now 23 and I've switched it into every new wallet I get. I'd be gutted if I ever lost it. Course I don't mind- my nickname, innit? That's a good one too, mate!
