Thanks for that pleasant image, Scott. Thank God I just finished eating lunch before I saw that 
What is she, like 50 years older than Kurt?

Soundgarden and AIC are probably in my top three along with Zeppelin.
My tastes are pretty much the same as yours, Scott. While not as big a fan of PJ as you, I do listen to them. I really would love to see them live, but nobody really wants to go
As for bands not mentioned:
I've seen Aerosmith three times (with a possible fourth this summer) and have never been disappointed, although I did enjoy the arena show (Worcester Centrum) more than the two outdoor shows, but I think that had to do with acoustics. My wife absolutely loves Joe Perry.
Metallica: Never saw them live (and don't want to pay big bucks to see them tour with Limp Bizkit and the tool of all tools, Fred Durst) While many people bash their records post And Justice for All, I actually enjoyed them. They've grown as artists and change styles. While the speed metal style of MoP and RtL was great in its own way, so are their other albums. And I enjoyed S&M immensely.
And now for the guilty pleasure artist:
Bon Jovi: IMO, just go old fashion rock and roll with catchy lyrics. Even if you're not a fan, I can bet you can see along to at least one of their songs.

Good to see the Wings go down in 4. Guiere (sp?) is one hot goalie right now and goaltending wins championships.
Flyers-Leafs went to trip OT and the friggin game wasn't on in Boston
Glad to see they tied the series up. Next game is a Saturday matinee. I'll actually be in the Philly area this weekend, so everything should be hopping.

Scott, butch is too kind. I would have used a more unpleasant term, which I wouldn't dare to utter here. I'll let your mind make up the rest.
And I forgot my most hated Nascar drivers (which I know doesn't have a huge fan base here)
-Jeff Gordon. I despise him so much that even for my love for all thing Star Wars, I refuse to purchase the Phantom Menace Pepsi replica car because this tool drove it.
-Little E (Earnhardt, Jr). Wasn't a big fan of his pappy and it seemed to rub off on him. I know he's the cash cow of Nascar, but I just don't like him. I'm also not a fan of his teammate Michael Waltrip, but he sucks so the hatred is less.

Alright, we've had your favorite sports team thread and lots of team bashing in the NBA and Stanley Cup playoffs thread, so we might as well bash every other sport as well 
Teams I absolutely, positively loathe:
-NY Yankees
-NY Jets
-NJ Devils
-NY Mets
-NY Rangers
(notice a trend here?)
-NY Giants
-NY Islanders
-Pittsburgh Steelers
-Oakland Raiders
-Miami Dolphins
-Dallas Cowboys
-Washington Redskins
You'll notice most of the NFC and AFC East teams, which stems from the fact that the Pats and Eagles are my fav teams. And New York teams has always been the biggest rivals with Boston and Philly teams. The Devils are included here because even though they play in the cess pool that is North Jersey, they're close enough to NY to get a nod.
Teams I don't necessarily loathe, but enjoy seeing when they lose:
-Detroit Red Wings
-Buffalo Bills
-LA Lakers (not that I really care about the NBA, but I don't like them none the less)
So how about it. What teams do you love to hate?

Even though the Flyers lost in double OT last night, I still have hope. They'll win tomorrow and even the series up, which I now believe will go seven games. Other than the NJ - Boston and Ducks-Red Wings (boy do I love when the Wings lose), I think we're going to see alot of long first round series.

Oh you want scars do ya?
My lip has a scar from when some b**** throw a rock at my face in grade school.
My back has three deep scars that should have gotten stitches but never did. Two came from when I rode my bike down a hill, flipped it and landed in a pile of broken beer bottles. The other came when the horizontal support board came off on my bunk bed and was never replaced. I sat up one day and sliced my back on the exposed nail.
I have a few scars on my head. One came when I fell down as an infant and smacked my head open. The other came when my cousin throw a beer bottle at a tree and it bounced back and hit me in the noggin. I'm still trying to figure out how the hell that one happened.
I have one on the inside of my right groin from where I fell off my bike and landed on one of the exposed handle bars. Yeah, that one was a little scary
There are probably a few more. Let's just say that I was a rough and tumble kid.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: What do you drive?
« on: April 15, 2003, 11:38 AM »
Black 2000 Toyota Tacoma extended cab, 5 speed, 4 cyl, no canopy. Besides oil changes every 3000 miles, its had absolutely nothing go wrong with it. It does have a cracked windowshield, though that needs to be fixed. (I've been holding off until warmer weather, which is finaly here. New England is now getting the warm days that Scott had yesterday)
The wife drives a 2000 Jeep Cherokee classic, 5 speed 2 door. I would have prefered a four door (easier access to the back seat) because her vehicle is going to be the family vehicle once the kids arrive (at least a year away before we even start thinking about it). My truck, while it can hold a baby seat in the extended cab, isn't really made for transporting a family.

We have a pretty good Mas already (POTJ), San Hill is coming and the R4 starfighter is just a head. I would want more than one head for $5 though

This both sucks and blows at the same time as I really wanted Kitik. I'm holding out for a possible US release, so I won't be buying from an e-tailer. Retail on the originals was $10, IIRC, Scott, but $20 is really not that bad considering the exclustivity of the item. Anything higher, I wouldn't even consider.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: TPU's Retailer Order Sheet...Possible New Figs?
« on: April 11, 2003, 01:00 PM »
The Clone Wars Mace, Fisto and Sith Witch I've seen on lists before, but not Saesee, IIRC.
When announced last week, I thought the super articulated stormtrooper would be the concept trooper, but apparently not. It doesn't matter, because more stormtroopers makes Mikey
I can't possibly fathom what Vader and Luke they're going to release, especially with the Jedi Luke and Vader coming out soon.
I think the Obi wan could possibly be the Outlander Club version, as he's in between two other club patrons. But please Hasbro, for the sake of all things holy, give him a cloak. I know he didn't wear one in the club, but we a good robed AOTC Obi.

This one a year for each Simpson season has to end soon. Christ by the time all seasons are done, we'll all be as old as Grampa. Is it because of the commentary? They should just ditch the commentary and release these two per year.
