It was the same thing for me with Collateral as it was with Miami Vice... a stylish, well directed look - stuck with the questionable casting of horrible actors (Tom Cruise).

Well that's 3-3.

We'll leave the voting open for another week and a half.  If August 10th ends and Live draft is ahead, everyone can have a few days to post dates that don't work for them and we'll try to work something out.

If August 10th ends and forum draft is ahead, we'll pick an order and set a start date.

Sound fair to everyone?

Ouch.




On a personal note... I'm getting to the point where I'm going to bench all my SP's not named Halladay or Verlander...

I had the best WHIP and ERA in our league up until a few weeks ago when everyone and anyone on my team has been giving up 6+ runs in just about all their starts...  I've tried picking up pitchers who are on hot streaks and it absolutely HASN'T worked... Matt Morris was hot but got jacked up in his first start for me... same with Padilla, and today Garland...  Meanwhile Glavine sucks, Kenny Rogers was getting killed, Chris Young's been okay but not spectacular and and even Arroyo has cooled down.

****.

Gasoline costs roughly 40% more than it did a year ago.

A barrel of oil costs roughly 20% more than it did a year ago.


Yet Exxon is making $1,318 per second in PROFIT, $79,000 per minute.

BP is making $55,000 per minute.




Hmmm.

I've always tipped for haircuts too - when I'm actually going to a barber or salon.

I was actually going to start a thread like this but hadn't gotten around to it yet...

I am a tipper, who isn't.  But I never tiped for take-out... if I pick the pizza up myself, buffets stuff like that.

But two of my friends who I was out with a few weeks ago gave me absolute hell for not tipping the take-out people...

I was never doing it to stiff anyone, just because I hadn't gotten service so I didn't think you were supposed to tip?  My girlfriend and other people I know thought that was perfectly normal and reasonable, but these guys made me feel like a real ******* for not tipping all these people.

They said that if there is a tip line on the credit card reciept, you're supposed to tip.

B.S. or not?

Thanks guys, the compliments are nice to hear.  This whole sharing pictures thing is giving me second thoughts about how much stuff I buy though.   

If Hasbro really wants to do EU, they should pick a story (NJO would probably be the best for sales) and make a series, 20 figures or more... on nice packaging... make Vong warriors, Jedi Knights, Luke, Leia, and Han.... they could even do Chewbacca ...etc...

It could be awesome.

Instead, they pick a few figures from all over the place that they can get onto shelves with little or no effort (repaints) and the product looks lame.
