It was explained wrong. If you win in overtime or the shoot out where does the win go? In the win column. when you lose in OT or the shootout they put it in a special place and pretend you didn't lose but then tell everyone that every game has a winner.

It's a loss. I feel like they lost, they feel like they lost. Why? Because they lost.

16-19. Three games under. Extra points be damned.

I'll give you Ten, and Versus, and select songs off of Vitalogy, so that passes with me.

Ten and Appetite for Destruction are as close to perfect records as there are, where there's no song you skip over every time you listen to it.

agreed!

I feel the same way about Dark Side of the Moon and Deep Purple's Machine Head

Dr Who on Christmas day.

I don't like the looks of that dude who plays Holmes. He has issues that are yet undiscovered.

i feel as though seinfeld's actual character is very meh. but the show itself. delicious

Here's a quick breakdown of every Seinfeld episode ever:

George (agitated): "Jerry....I'm dating this woman who's way out of my league, she's great and she treats me great...but she has one small insignificant flaw that I CAN'T STAND! I'm gonna leave her in a very unkind manner!"

Jerry: "Whhhyyyyyyyy would you do such a thing? Is such a thing really that important? Let me obsess over your insignificant matter and further instigate things while finding a way to apply it to myself."

Elaine: "Jeeerryyy...I just had sex with the last single man in New York, and now I am unhappy. Tell me something comforting."

Kramer (bursting into the root abruptly): "Oh Jerry, OH JERRY, THANK GOD! Jerry, listen, I, uh, I've got this GREAT crazy scheme, see, I was up all night thinking about. You've gotta hear it; it's the greatest thing ever!"

There. I just saved you countless days worth of watching.

That is incorrect. Call me crazy, but I'm not a huge Slayer fan. I REALLY like some of their stuff, and could care less about most of it.

AGREED.

Hybrid Theory is close for me, but that might have something to do graduating from highschool and cruizing around all day with a very attractive GF.

I actually like And Justice For All. In fact, Blackened is my favorite Metallica song.
If I ever do see them, and they open with that, I will be escorted out after the breakdown around 2 minutes with blood on my hands.

What, that a show that claimed to be "about nothing", which you'd think would give it limitless angles, stuck to the same basic premise episode after episode? Elaine is screwing some random guy, Kramer's got some crazy scheme, George has some girl who's great that he can't deal with, and Jerry just sits there asking "Whyyyyyyyyy" all day. Sorry, not my cup of tea.

i don't get why people think pink floyd is good always just sounds like some lame stoner band to me
- 2Real


I doubt any band stepped further away from traditional music and made it sound so great then Floyd. You dont have to be a stonner, or even an occasional smoker to listen, but if you are.... then you will get it.

18 year old me used to sit in basement with a "water pipe" and listen to floyd with windows media player's screensaver. All those colorful squiggly lines!!!!!!!

Division Bell tour in Philly was my second concert. I was 11 and got a crazy contact high.
