I'm not watching it now, but last night, I watched a thing on Discovery about sea life. Did you know squid and octupi are nearly as intelligent as dolphins?
I fell asleep before it was over, though.

Geez. Not a lot of warning. Just leave us high and dry to get our music news on our own. Get us hooked, then cut us off.
HE'S THE PUSHER!!! NOT ME!!!

I just have a few questions.
Defensive scoring....is that for your individual D players, or the whole unit?
Actually...I guess that's only one question.
Come on, two more players.

I have the .38 Special Flashback cd. It's very good. Yes, nothing groundbreaking or particularly innovative. But, like PF said, it's good music. Entertaining. That's what it's all about, right?
The only thing that disappoints me about the cd is "Wild Eyed Southern Boys" is live, and, in my opinion, not as good as the studio version.
I don't know that they're not respected as much as other Southern Fried Rock bands, just that they didn't do anything to set themselves apart from the rest. Musically, they are average, but it's seamless, tight, and well constructed.
As far as the Van Zant Boys, their cd is a hard edged country sound. What I've heard of it, anyway.

Question 3: KISS held kissing contests.
-
Heck, I'm not going on break. I'm ashamed of myself for that little display of desperation. LOL. I've got to redeem myself.
Oh, and for anyone with dork tendencies, here's some knowledge
-
A lunch break from SF.
-
Whew. I don't know about the rest of you, but I didn't think I was going to survive that. LOL.
-
It's probably not even on there. I say 55 should get the 8 points for stumping the band. LOL.
-
ok, you asked for it. LOL. Pretty cheap way to get points. LOL.

Skye?
( was going to copy and paste all 49 listed, but I thought that might be a bit much, since we've practically been handed this one. And we're supposed to be music gurus.. LOLOL)
-
Oh, yes, I'm fine. It's just i'm usually at work during the time you're here. Friday is my day off, though.
Ok, so let's see....Think laterally. One word name. A place. The British Isles. So, London is darn near at 0 degrees latitude on my world map.
Was there ever a band called London?
-
:)I'm just happy to actually be playing. I missed a bunch of rounds. ::
-
The Grass Roots? King Harvest?
A wild guess.
-
Rare Earth?
Well, that's all I have
-
Heck, Laurie, I think you've listed every band ever.
(mini sammy) -
You know, Bazooka, I thought of T-Rex, too, but didn't Mark Bolan have big, poofy hair?
and it seems as though the singer has a beard.
I am completely stumped on this one. ::
-
By the way....I'm calling you out Sammy. Come play football.
Oh, and before the draft even takes place, I've already excluded Michael Vick from my draft list. The most overrated QB since Cunningham.
-
Not to pick nits, but 6 for throwing a TD seems like a lot. Your QB is scoring a touchdown without leaving the backfield. He's already getting points for yardage and completions.
I would also ditch the points per completion and -points per incompletion.
And I've always been a firm believer that a FG is 3, regardless of distance.
Don't get me wrong, I can live with any scoring system that's in place. I've been in a league for 10 years, and we've evolved since year one.
-
GENESIS!!
Oh, man. I think I'll let Sammy handle this one. ::
Tell you what...Laurie can head south, stop and pick up Sammy, I'll head north, stop and pick up Unc, and we'll all converge on your house, dressed like Ghostbusters, and purge the place of that stuff. RonJon is already right there in Jersey with you, so he'll be there first to stand guard and make sure no more bad music gets into your home, ok?
we can all be there by 6.
-
Ok, please forgive me Jenny, because you are a close-to-home girl, but I can't pass this up....
No Doubt's Greatest Hits? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Sorry.

I'm in. My squad is called "The Guru". ::

Eagle Eye, how would you feel if someone read one of your poems in the Creative Writing thread and wrote "It Sucks"?
Not very informative.
