Matt Saracen’s Toughest Opponent
2009 Culture Tournament March 16th. 2009, 6:30pm
As you continue to pore over your brackets, and wonder if maybe those ESPN guys were onto something with a chalky Final Four outlook, here’s something slightly more challenging to consider: the plucky QB who won a State title with the Dillon Panthers, but got benched this season and then moved to WR, or photogenic actress Megan Fox? We’re a bit disappointed in a draw pitting two potential Final Four upstarts: Marko Jaric’s wife and Thom Brennaman’s slurp job of Tim Tebow during the National Championship. And if you didn’t vote earlier today, Scott Van Pelt could use the help.

I like how Matt Saracen went from being Jeff Garcia to being Wes Welker.
March 16th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
And then at the end he turns in Roethlisberger, letting everyone else win the big game for him.
March 16th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
i have managed to never vote with the majority. im such a non conformist.
March 16th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Come on now, That slurp job was historic. Jenna Jameson never went down on a guy as well as Thom on Tebow.
March 16th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Woo hoo!
March 16th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
#1 and #10 don’t deserve to win. I think you know why.

I was going to post that, but then I got caught up trying to join the bracket group
March 16th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
gotcha…
March 16th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
I’ve never seen that show, but thought the clip was hilarious. I’m also on the autism spectrum, but have a high-functioning form. So yay for me for overcoming the odds.
March 16th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
You’re the best around noone’s ever gonna keep you down. you’re the best aroooooouuund

Fear does not exist in this dojo
March 16th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
From what I have seen on the Soup, Yo Gabba Gabba is AWESOME.
March 16th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
I think the word you are looking for is pore, TBL. I noticed it in the Goodell interview too.
March 16th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Hey if some people get excited over March Madness to the point where they ejaculate on their brackets, good for them.
March 16th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
does this mean 83tilinfinity is hired as the copy editor? cthomashowell will be thrilled.
March 16th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Whatever happened to him?
March 16th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Just r-watching the office … wow, i can’t wait to pull this KGB knock-knock joke on an unsuspecting friend or relative!
March 16th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Just tried joining the TBL Bracket Game and it said the league was full…is there a password we’re supposed to use?
March 16th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Same with me, butters.
TBL?
March 16th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Yeah, it was full for me too.
March 16th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Easiest way to not have to pay the winner $200 is to not let 1,000 people in…the recession has finally his TBL
March 16th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
wow, thursday’s office was off the charts funny. highly recommend watching it online
March 16th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
huh? not aware of such problems. i’ll ask KC Res, who set it up
March 16th, 2009 at 8:05 pm
Yahoo caps it at 500 which I did not know. I’ll just set up TBL Tourney 2 if he’s cool with it.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
TBL’s refusal to acknowledge the decline of The Office is akin to a football fan who steadfastly makes excuses for his aging QB. I hope this doesn’t happen to me in 5-6 years time.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Re: Office
I really thought somebody was gonna get fired, like I was nervous for a show shake-up that plotline was so Michael Scott stupid. Did you notice it was written by Mindy Kaling?
Oh, and boobs.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
was that written by Kaling? Brilliant. the wonka stuff was great
March 16th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
KC Res: what’s the group ID for the new one?
March 16th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
i like the part where he goes to yell at the warehouse guys and he starts yelling and the dude just says “start over.” and micheal scott starts kissing his ass
March 16th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
thought that was the best Office in a while.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
when Mindy Kaling writes them, they’re almost always funny (remember that Indian party) and she’s almost never in them, though in looking it up, she’s written more than i realize.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
the dewali party was sick. still have it saved … oh shit, HAD it saved on the old dvr. damn.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
i think the mark of a classic Office episode (either UK or US) is that during it, you actually cringe. The Indian party was the last one I can really remember where I felt physically ill during it, until this one. I thought heads would roll.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
I just don’t find Michael Scott interesting anymore. In a perfect world, where NBC was dependent on the show for income, they would’ve ended it after the third season.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
wasn’t*
March 16th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
TBL -
You want me to run TBL 2?
March 16th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
You know what I don’t find interesting more than anything else bsanders? The utter lack of any sort of plot or direction.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Yeah, especially how they had that dramatic buildup to the Angela-Andy-Dwight troika ending, then just totally disregarded it after. Now they’ll throw in the occasional residual Andy “my heart is crushed, women are bitches” C story, but I don’t buy it.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
anyone watching GG?
lol
lol
March 16th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
yeah, we’re going to have 2 (maybe 3, 4, whatever) pools on yahoo
March 16th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Direction is coming in the next episode. It is called “new boss” and I believe this is where our friend Idris Elba will play a rival to Michael.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
humphrey with a solid episode
March 16th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
Idris Elba > Entire cast of The Office
March 16th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Dude, we get it. You don’t like The Office.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
apparently to ensure yourself of a perfect bracket you need to fill out 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 brackets.
Thats 18 Quintillion.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Dude, we get it. You like to fill out brackets.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
I guess I’m about to be a millionaire..sweet.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Sorry to offend your delicate nature. Didn’t know you were a wallflower. I hope Idris gives Michael Scott points on the package.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Tyler Perry’s The Office?

March 16th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
how will that play with all the black jokes that micheal scott makes?
March 16th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
TBL’s Tourney Pick ‘Em 2 is now live.
Group # 141649.
Sorry about this. I had no idea Yahoo couldn’t handle more than 500 brackets.
The legal department tells me to say this… The winner will be the best of X number of pools. Not each one.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
anyone who wants to be freaked out turn on CNBC right now. THEY ARE WATCHING!
March 16th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Password, KC?
March 16th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
No, you didn’t offend me; you were annoying me. Discernible difference. But by all means, carry on.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Yeah, I’ve been wondering who is going to take over the Jan/Ryan job. But I’m not getting my hopes up just because they bring in a new character. I might drop it if they don’t make an effort to advance the narrative within the next couple weeks.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Jim and Pam seem too perfect, I’m willing to bet something goes down that puts that in turmoil by the end of the season. If not then I may have to re-evaluate my relationship with the office.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Do I have to explain that my entry being called “The SEC Of Brackets” is supposed to be a self-deprecating joke since the SEC is a mid-major basketball conference
(After the last few football season this delights me to no end)
March 16th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
yeah they should kill the jim-pam characters off..like they both die in a horribletrain hittinh their car accident. the “hey these guys are sooo dumb” looks jim gives the cameras got old after the 3rd episode
March 16th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
does the bracket have sec aspeed though?
March 16th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
I think the problem is The Office just isn’t designed to be a long-running show. The longer it runs, the more outlandish and broad storylines they have to incorporate, which takes it away from what it’s supposed to be. Ending the UK Office soon was probably the best decision he could’ve made. Of course, NBC is in such dire straits that they NEED The Office, thus they’ll bleed it dry.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Saw some SEC speed during that Tennessee-Mississippi State game yesterday…only problem was none of those players could make baskets or smart plays
It really looked like they were playing a pickup game at the Pro Bowl or something
March 16th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
You’ll have to tell me what word in that comment could possibly need moderation.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
As an unabashed SEC football homer I could care less how horrible the conference is in basketball. March madness in non-Kentucky SEC quarters is spring practice. If you asked the any SEC fan (again, not from Kentucky) if they would trade the entire basketball program (by this I mean bball no longer exists) for consecutive titles in football you would have a resounding number of SEC teams fold up bball all together.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Hawkeye – Public site. No password needed.
SEC Speed? Nah, it is more on the level of Big 10 basketball annoyance at this point. I’ll stay on top of it and create #3 if needed.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Hansbrough…don’t let it happen again
March 16th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Pfftt…we’ll see who’s laughing when my predicted Final Four of Michigan State, Purdue, Wisconsin and Michigan comes to pass
March 16th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
could be anything bsanders. Last time for me it was Minnesota/Wisconsin.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
24 is fucking awesome.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
While I do like it when the Big Ten gets multiple bids I was upset that I couldn’t make the “You can’t spell Minnesota without the letters N-I-T joke again”
(And just know that Gopher sweep this year took two years off my life…so painful)
March 16th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
KC, can you send me a link?
Lost>24
On the FNL front, i MAY be getting an interview with one of the cast members. dont want to spoil it since it probably wont happen, but hey, i like that show, so im a geek
March 16th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Werd.
March 16th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
TBL, you’ve never even seen 24. I’ve watched both shows from the beginning. Lost is a fucking joke compared to 24.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
24 is awesome if you think oompa loompas will be called on to save the world all the damn time. you mean the gov’t cant find someone else to save the world other than bauer?
March 16th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Butters – They’re the ones at the end. They’re adult diaper, kidney dialysis fucking years.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
I’ve seen the first three seasons of both Lost and 24. Lost is far and away the better show in terms of writing, direction and acting. I stopped watching 24 after season three just because it’s the same girl every season just wearing a different outfit. The first season of Lost is amazing, the second is decent, the third is good, the fourth is very good, and the fifth thus far has me wanting to pull my hair out because it’s now a gimmick-driven show, not a character-driven show.
Just my opinion, flame away.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
TBL I still think you should interview Richard from Lost…dude wears mascara in every role he’s ever had.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Bullshit. What is a joke is the fucking Candyman storming the white house with 10 african guards and acutally taking the white house. Presidential secret service detail would have whooped that ass. I like both shows but that little plot angle for the last 3 shows was redonkulous.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
Bullshit. What is a joke is the fucking Candyman storming the white house with 10 african guards and acutally taking the white house.
nuh huh..it could happen…it could happen..
March 16th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
I watched the 2nd and 3rd seasons of 24. It was very thrilling but it comes to a point where you know Jack is never going to die ever, and he will always save the day. Boring. Lost can be frustrating but I always find it enjoyable. 24 is like a bond movie stretched out with no boobs.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
1. We’re talking about TV here, not an Oscar winning, $100M grossing drama. Give me a break.
2. I can’t give props to writers who throw in absolute bullshit into their plots and make the bullshit seem important only to fuck over their audience by disregarding it two seasons later.
3. 24 is completely, 100% unrealistic, but it still has better action than Lost. Plus, at the end of the season, every loose end is tied up.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Yeah but I’m already not living past 55 because of the Packers losing a playoff game in which they gave up a 4th and 26th…I should just stop watching sports
March 16th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
So because it’s TV it has to be dumb or look shitty? Alright, then.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Butters – You’re a Wisconsinite. The beer and cheese have already lowered your life span. 4th and 26 just hurt it that much more.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
i understand that to watch t.v. you have to suspend you beliefs for an hour or 2 but 24…and lost come so far from left field that its impossible to watch some of the bullshit they put on those two shows.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
24 doesn’t look shitty, their action scenes are movie caliber. And personally I don’t think having a plot line centered around an advanced physics theory makes a show “smart.”
March 16th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
I just wish Bauer would go back to shooting guys in the leg during interrogations. That move is money.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Oh shit, forgot about those (but damn if they aren’t delicious)…I’ll just be happy to make it to the Final Four at this point
March 16th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Don’t talk about 4th and 26. Thats one of the few things us Eagles fans take pride in (how fucking sad is that!) that along with stuffing Emmitt Smith on 4th and 1 twice. God they need to win a super bowl.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
You’re not partial to the new tasing move?
March 16th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
The most unrealistic thing about 24 is that Kiefer Sutherland could be an unstoppable killing machine. The guy’s like 5-5, 150 pounds. It’s like Mugsy Bogues killing a bunch of linebackers.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
That soft ass shit doesn’t due enough for me. I want Cheney-esque torture.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:26 pm

March 16th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
yes, true, i’ve never seen 24.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Whatever, dude. That guy could scream you into oblivion. If Tom Cruise can be Ethan Hunt, Keifer is a perfectly acceptable height for Jack Bauer.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
wow, i want to go to whatever bar usher was at
nice rack
March 16th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Which was the worse picture today: Brooke Hogan pole dancing or half of Britney Spears’ vag?
March 16th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
I wish I could be Usher for a week. Damn those are some titties.

Don’t play with hammers, kids.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
what are the odds he took her home?
jack bauers a bitch or i’m sorry keifer is a bitch and totally not believable in that role i dont care how much he can scream.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
best thing keifer has ever done was drunkenly attack that xmas tree. that video makes me LOL all the fucking time

Oh, yes. I got to hit the strip clubs in Paris next time I’m there.
/never been to Paris.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
24 sucks because every single level of national defense is so easily infiltrated by spies and double agents. Not to mention how friggin vulnerable the president is. The point of the show was to tell you how much crazy stuff you don’t see every day to protect the country. I just think it’s way over the top and they should’ve abandoned or modified the 24 hour format a while ago
March 16th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
That city is badass. I have been there several times and would go back in a NY minute.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
i need me a paris trip, too
March 16th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
wait…….you mean the country doesnt rely on one dude to stop us from getting blown the fuck up ? i demand proof sir!
March 16th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
My favorite was when he was tortured for several months by the Chinese government, but a few minutes after the switchoff, he’s right back to kicking ass again like nothing happened. Fresh legs and at full strength. It’s better scifi show than Lost and BSG.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
They have a crazy bar scene.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
yeah because those chinese are amateurs when it comes to torture. when you have a certain torture named after you it just shows how bad you suck at it.
March 16th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Paris. Prague. Barcelona.
Cities I’ve had friends goto and swear by and that I trust they are right and want to get to. Although, after getting older, being married, and with child, may not be near as fun as when i was in my 20’s.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Munich is also loads of fun.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
How much time would you need to get off to backpack around Europe? It’s probably more cost efficient to do one big trip as opposed to flying back for several shorter trips. I would imagine anyway.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
I did this with some of my roomates from college. Went to Venice, Milan, Interlaken (Switz), Paris and Amsterdam. It was the best vacation I have ever been on.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
To answer your question we did this in 10 days.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
1 month sounds about right.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
isnt backpackin through europe what got those kids killed in hostel?
March 16th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
A few of my friends have been doing the Contiki thing where you go with a group and basically just blitz through everything. I’m thinking about doing that, but I don’t know about the whole tour group thing.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Do it on your own…I would def. reccomend Interlaken. It was one of the coolest places I have ever been. And Amsterdam is the beez neez.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
I can’t imagine getting a month off and still be employed now that I’m out of college. Damn…missed my window.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
go backpackin through alaska (not like chris mccandless did) or colorado..i mean i know america sucks compared to europe in everything but i would rather do that than england.
/usa! usa! usa! usa!
March 16th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
You can do it in 10 days and it won’t feel rushed. Just get a Eurail pass and plan your trip and it is really doable and a lot of fun.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
For some reason I have never wanted to see England. Ireland yes, England…not so much.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
did this with some of my roomates from college. Went to Venice, Milan, Interlaken (Switz), Paris and Amsterdam. It was the best vacation I have ever been on.
Sounds awesome.
Damn…missed my window.
Yeah, I guess I sort of missed mine. In my 20s I spent a lot of it ski bumming or backpacking in the mountains and deserts of the West. Wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything, but as i get older, I wonder if a three week spring or summer trip in Europe would have been good. Oh well, such is life. This was all before 9/11, so I don’t know.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
sorry i was think europe and typed england my bad. i have been to ireland and it is beautiful
March 16th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
hell there is parts of california that would blow your mind. believe it or not.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
I have been 3 times post-9/11 and I have never had one issue and I have gone with people that scream, “we are Americans.” I have had some of the best debates with French people in their 20’s about gov’t and life in general and it never got negative. Plus thier food is the bomb. Though I cannot stress how cool Amsterdam is. 3 days in Amsterdam is the perfect amount of time. The canals are totally badass.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
I very badly want to spend time in the west (particularly the northwest). I have been to LA and would like nothing more than to burn it down but I have heard california is pretty sweet in general.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
why cant americans just go overseas and not let people know they are from america they will find out the moment you open your cock holster.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
mrejr, which parts are you talking about? LA is cool to visit if you’re into that Hollywood stuff and pretentious nightlife. If you like the outdoors, up north is where you want to be.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Because we all look alike. The second we step out into the cities we have “America” painted on our faces whether we know it or not.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Gods -
That’s where I sort of regret some things that I say i don’t regret. I’m a hypocrite. I wasn’t so much worried about the local populace, but about traveling internationally riding dirty.
hell there is parts of california that would blow your mind. believe it or not.
Agreed. And I can drive there on my own. Northern Cal is amazing. I always had a, “look at the country you live in” type attitude.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
maybe they ran out of water?
speaking of Usher
March 16th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
yeah i know that but i’m talking about the idiots that go over there and do the whole “i’m frooom ameeerica..so you have got to treat me like royalty or i will tell all my amrican friends not to show up and ruin your economy.” act. just go over there keep your mouth shut and partake in the local customs and observe. you might just learn a little bit.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
i’m watching mad money(i was just flipping through i dont watch it all the time) and poor jim cramer looks haggard
March 16th, 2009 at 11:36 pm
I saw Cramer on Stern once. The guy is very image conscious and won’t talk about anything other than stocks or his life in finance or harvard. Though he has lived a pretty crazy life though. When Stern started asking about his lovelife, you should’ve seen Cramer squirm. The Daily Show was a breeze for him.

verrrry late to this party, but, here goes…
I was fortunate enough to travel quite a bit for three years (1999-2001). I went to roughly 20 countries in Latin America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East for my job. I spent two weeks in Egypt in 2001 right before 9/11 and was amazed at the country. I was treated fantastically, but I was also on a USAID Trade Mission, so I only dealt with the “upper class” people. There is an unbelievable caste system in most other countries which is, what I think, makes the US intriguing to others.
If you are from the “lower class” in a lot of these countries, there is NO CHANCE for you to advance. It has been pre-determined for you. You cannot go to “University” to get an education. If you are a female, you are even more fucked. It’s really unbelievable to see how other countries live.

Exactly. I have family over in Europe and speak French a bit which helps when I go over there, but until my friends relaxed and immersed themselves into the culture they began to have a blast.

I would love to visit Egypt but I am way too concerned to go there. Seeing the Pyramids is something that I really want to do before I die.

i have been to iraq and i know everyone says they treat their women like shit(and they do)but i was in the my patrol tower and got see the sheep herders and when it comes to work the women definitley put the men to shame. and also they let their womrn spend like 2 years dressed in western clothing(kinda like the amish let their people go and expeirence normal life for like 2yrs)and they normally do this when they are really young so they dont dress like tramps. and also i got to see how they act after soccer victories and cars shooting ak-47s in the air afterwards was not a uncommon sight.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
and 100% percent of locals i met over there loved having us there. i dont if they were acting like that because i was always carrying a m16 or not. and they were all very nice people and humble as hell.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
I also would love to see Israel. I am about the least religious person I know but the history there has to be something to behold.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Holy shit!!! you saw Transformers in Iraq? It’s coming people. It’s coming!
March 16th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
if you want to go to LA and not be a part of the scene you should hang out in Santa monica and the hermosa/manhattan beach area. chill and none of the crappy club scene.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:49 pm

March 16th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
The gun was probably a nice ice breaker.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
I’m just busting your chops mrejr. I had to re-read that sentence a few times. And laughed each time.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
rs27…Manhattan beach was amazing. It was like a college town on the beach. I was there for a Neb/USC football game and it was awesome…until the game when USC gang raped my Huskers.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
Ah yes, the south bay. That’s a pretty cool community and beach bar scene
March 16th, 2009 at 11:51 pm

March 16th, 2009 at 11:54 pm

March 16th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Totally off topic, but I sprained the shit out of my ankle and they gave me vicotin…I don’t get what all the fuss is about this shit. It doesn’t do a damn thing for me.
March 16th, 2009 at 11:55 pm

/joking
March 16th, 2009 at 11:57 pm
It’s the drugs talking.

@Gods: The Pyramids were UNBELIEVABLE. It was the greatest trip of my life. I saw the Giza Pymamids, went diving in the Red Sea at Sharm-el Sheikh, rode a camel for 10 miles in the desert next to the Pyramida at night, and had a Bedouin dinner in the middle of the desert. It was the most incredible two weeks of my life. I was there in 5/01, right before 9/11. I was sup[osed to go back in November, but obviously things changed.
March 17th, 2009 at 12:00 am
off topic but does anyone like the killers? they fucking rock.
/im listening to one of their songs right now go fuck yourself if you think i suck for liking them
March 17th, 2009 at 12:02 am
That sounds totally badass. Very cool.
March 17th, 2009 at 12:03 am
I like the Killers. My brother, who is really into music, can’t stand them but I like their shound.
March 17th, 2009 at 12:03 am
did they take down the pyramids or somethin?
March 17th, 2009 at 12:07 am
saw the pyramids when i was 13, really, really, really, fuckin awesome. The Sphinx is a joke though, its teeny tiny compared to the pyramids.
March 17th, 2009 at 12:09 am
but obviously things changed.
did they take down the pyramids or somethin?
There was that thing called 9/11 and a LOT of the dudes were from Egypt. I was no stupid and naive that I walked into a Mosque on a Friday night just because I wanted to see what it was like. I slipped off my shoes, grabbed a prayer rug, and tried to kneel down when the rest of the guys did.
When I told the Egyptian guys I met over there on my business trip what I did, they turned white and said I was lucky they didn’t kill me. Americans (at least me) are so stupid!
March 17th, 2009 at 12:10 am
yeah i know again it was joke.
March 17th, 2009 at 12:11 am
Do they have a new album? Liked their first one, loved their second one, felt eh on their third one.
March 17th, 2009 at 12:13 am
@Gods: I highly recommend you go to Jerusalem. I studied Arabic in Jordan for a summer and spent a few days in Jerusalem, it was by far the coolest place I’ve ever been. I’m not religious either (at all), but we stayed in a hostel in the old city (Jewish quarter, I think, or Christian), and there was a rooftop sitting area, so we were just sitting there with the dome of the rock right in front of us, the wailing wall just down to the right, and the church of the holy sepulchre to the left. It was awesome. Jordan has a lot of cool stuff too, and the dead sea was great as well.
March 17th, 2009 at 12:14 am
day & age is their latest one. very good. my favorite song is spaceman…for some reason it reminds me of going to basic training..i dont know why but it just does.
