I've got the first season on DVD - but I've been rather lax in my Adult Swim viewing for the last month or two...

No need to apologize or speak in hypotheticals, we all know Virex's taste in movies is less then the normal addict

Oh yeah, Virex... him too.

...hire her back ABC!!!!!!!!!!  We need more Melissa

Something the Viking fans and Cowboy fans can BOTH get behind....

Agreed... That Guerrero (or however you spell it) is horrible.

Under ESPN's most improved teams - my Bucs came in at number 5.  The Vikes were ranked at number 7.

Well.  I'm a little late to this thread...but I figured I'd chime in since the girlfriend and I decided that renting was for suckers and we bought a condo in January.  It's a 1-bedroom loft right in downtown Dallas.  It was a 5 year old building that was just renovated and converted into modern-style lofts - and as they were trying to sell over 100 units all at once, the prices were low compared to similar properties in the area.

We feel that we got a great deal and that it will probably go up in value considerably over the 5 years we plan to live in it.  It's got granite counters, 12' celings, concrete floors, fantastic location,  a second parking space, washer and dryer, and stainless steel appliances for the kitchen.  The best part was that we managed to crunch all the numbers and after the downpayment, our mortgage payment is pretty much the same amount each month that we were paying to rent.

Here are some images from the website of the building and model properties:




Anyways...we were pretty happy with our experience and after four months are just about moved in.... we're still looking to add more bookshelves (ours are all but full) and I've still got some star wars unpacking to do (vehicle hanging) - but...yeah....so that was our buying experience.

Flyers up 2 games to none!  Eastern Conference finals, here we come.

Maybe not.    Now tied up 2-2.  I think this series is going seven.  And that's going to really hurt whoever wins.  A tough, physical series and then having to play a speedy and restful TB team.  

Well, Philly put on an ass-whupin today...

But, they lost their goalie it would seem (anyone hear what the injury was?) and game 6 is up North...

This series has game 7 written all over it.

And I hope it does go to 7 - so the winner can be even more gassed when they play Tampa.
