  1. From the perspective of pure riffage, I'm going with Page. So many great riffs in a pretty short creative peak.
  2. Full disclosure: I saw the Sting version as a teenager, liked it well enough, decided to read the book, hated the book, forgot most of it right away. I know people are whining the new films don't stick closely enough to the books (What? No Spice Guild?!?!), but the films work fine as a straightforward fight between two rich families. "Spice" could just as easily be gold, or oil, or unobtanium, whatever. It's a classic "rise to power" story, and all the background mythology is moot, as far as this viewer is concerned. Whenever they started spouting off about the Kwisatz Haderach (sp., definitely), my brain did the Homer Simpson thing where I'm imagining bears riding in little Shriners' cars. I was just waiting for more shots of spaceships taking off and landing, more BWAAANNNGGGGHHHHH from the soundtrack.
  3. ***SPOILERS AHEAD**** I know this story comes from some pretty successful books, but it felt to me -- as a non-book reader -- that they were making it up as they went along.
  4. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts. I have some.
  5. Here's what I was prepared to type, before I got distracted: "GCU? Over the team that beat Gonzaga twice and won its conference tournament?" Huh.
  6. The SEC not exactly covering itself in glory.
  7. I'm still not sure how that happened. That Gohlke guy had the ugliest shot -- he looked like he was always off-balance and chucking the ball from between his wrists, rather than his palms (you know the kind of thrusting forward action I mean, more of a push than a throw?), and I'll be damned if most of them didn't go in. Unbelievable.
  8. Aren't Cracovia and Wisla the two teams you support? Are they also rivals? So you are serious about liking the Red Wings? This changes everything!!!!
  9. Gawd, how I hate Man Utd. I can't be the only person who thinks Garnacho looks like he ought to be punched in the face.
  10. Mizzou manages to do the very difficult, and finishes the season on an 0-19 run.
  11. I have and she looks wonderfully made and destined for great things! If I knew how to put pictures here, I'd add one (old guy issues . . .).
  12. Uh-oh -- you've jumped the Sharks! What's the second pick in the draft look like? Good value?
  13. So without Pollard, our running game will feature . . . who, exactly? More pressure on Dak performing out of his head.
  14. My day was made yesterday because I became a grandfather for the first time! A healthy baby girl, born 9:51 pm!
  15. Oooh. Is "gouge my eyes out" an option? I loathe Arsenal, but I hate monotony more, so give me the Arse.
