Um, what moleman said.
By looking at her teeth, I’d say Meth happened.

I didn’t know Voldemort played pro football.

Didn’t we go through a Kristin Dunst debacle a couple of months back? I remember RWH demanding someone’s head on a pike.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Fans of a recently downtrodden franchise have forgiven their young star running back? No way!
July 28th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
man i could go for some unicorn blood right now
July 28th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
could that picture have any more work done to it?
not saying it’s a bad choice by any means, just that it takes a lotta junk to make dunst look smokin.
/would i do her in real life? absolutely, without a second thought.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Last time I checked that Cuil site was Billy Wagnered. TBL is in some fine company.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Obviously can’t look at the 90210 chick here, which one is she, who did she play?
July 28th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
dunst is about another six meth hits away from amy winehouse status.
sure she was good in interview, but she was also a kid, and turns out when she grew up, she still looks like a vampire and is a terrible actress. i am the only one who laughed watching spiderman three when peter knocked her out?
July 28th, 2008 at 3:53 pm

Get some nuts!
/Too soon?
July 28th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
The Lost writers said they knew how it would end during season 1, this is not news.
Whether or not they’re telling the truth, now that would be newsworthy.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Todd Jones was a stunt man in the YMCA video.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
if bills fans could afford a computer, they’d be offended by that.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
I’m pretty sure even Abrams and Lindelof don’t want to have the ending spoiled for themselves.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Holy God. Did anyone see TDK took in 75 million in the second weekend?

July 28th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Those replay rule changes are stupid. All it’s going to take is for one team to stop playing when the whistle is blown and have replay turn it into a touchdown for there to be outcry. What are the players supposed to do, keep playing after the whistle? If they tackle that guy when the play has been blown dead for out of bounds, it’ll be a personal foul.
What they need to do is just teach the refs to not blow the whistle if it’s marginal, let the play continue, then they can go back and replay it – if it’s out of bounds, bring it back, if it was in, let it stand.
It’s a stupid rule change that only makes the game more complicated for the players in an attempt to simplify it for the refs. Stupid.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
even worse snaggletooth, it’s cringe tastic
July 28th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
cbh, she was in the later years when Brandon and Steve started their own newspaper (or possibly a magazine).
July 28th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Is Maxim magazine responsible for fooling male America by unleashing the evils of Photoshop and combining them with average-looking B/C celebrities?
They had Dunst on and she looked great. Hell, they had Lara Flynn Boyle and made her look like more than a stick figure!
July 28th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
I don’t think Google is scared. Here is what my Cuil search for “naked Dunst Interview With a Vampire” turned up:

“I don’t think Google is scared. Here is what my Cuil search for “naked Dunst Interview With a Vampire†turned up:

Whatever. Cuil is so advanced it knows not bring back pictures of the snagglytoothed undead.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Thanks Sportsgal, that’s when the show really started to suck.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
I’d say that Madonna pic is shopped. Check out her bicep on her left arm. Whomever put that together wasn’t even trying.

Thanks Ron, I was wondering the same damn thing.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
And you left that out of the round-up because…?
July 28th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
today is my last day of work. i have to take a massive shit, and only have 23 minutes left before i leave. when i get home this could be the biggest double relief feeling in the history of makind.

July 28th, 2008 at 4:10 pm

July 28th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
im working on a fellowship and am only funded for a certain amount of hours, i hit the limit today (a few hours ago actually but im just that nice of a guy to stick around)
the worst character on 90210 was the broad with the glasses, and of course she was the one who was always having sex

I remember when this site was good.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Yes Aunt Becky is hot.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
i think she’s hot too. but i went to the IMDB link and clicked a picture and that alien popped up.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
benji for a second i thought you were saying LL played andrea on 90210, I WISH
July 28th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
would that be considered a personal attack on TBL?
July 28th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
nope. andrea, that was her name. andrea zuckercorn? was that her last name?
July 28th, 2008 at 4:18 pm

so you’re not registered to read any papers?

sg, sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little to get the good news.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
does the new 90210 make it past 1 season?
If Gossip Girl can make it, I think new 90210 should be able to as well. Shenae Grimes should be a breakout star. She was hella hot on Degrassi. The cyberstalker episode was awesome.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:34 pm

July 28th, 2008 at 4:35 pm

July 28th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Can someone alert 412 and Purdue Matt to this? Eager to hear their reactions. The government wants to know everything you buy. I don’t even want to ask what is next.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
I don’t like that one bit, especially when shopping at grasscity.com
July 28th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Benji, you know I’m going to stalk Wieters Thursday. I’m going to get him to sign my forehead.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
That bill kinda seems like a huge invasion of privacy.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
this is friggin retarded. i am banging my head on my desk right now.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
There is no privacy anymore, and neither party is getting it back for you…
July 28th, 2008 at 4:38 pm

I’m registered to read local newspapers online(Knoxville News Sentinel, The Tennessean, The Commercial Appeal) but I don’t feel the need to give a national newspaper my email address when I can generally get the same news browsing through CNN.com, Foxnews.com, and ABCNews.com.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
get him to sign your wife beater. write Wieters and ## whatever number he is on the back. did they call him up or is the BO AAA affiliate in your area.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
They are only slightly interested in what you buy, but they are extremely interested in taxing what you buy.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Where the fuck did my comment go?
July 28th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
it seems to me prices and fees will start to go up with all the extra paper/busy work related to this bill.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
In other news, the Senate’s approval ratings is at 14%.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
@IPG-i had the same thing happen to me in the AM round up. did you rip on devin hester too??
July 28th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
TBL: Should I eat Met-RX Big 100 bars that are a year past their experation date? I found some(30, I got a couple boxes free) in my pantry from the days when I use to give a shit. It would seem wasteful to throw them out.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
In other news, the Senate’s approval ratings is at 14%.
And it should be lower… the most infuriating thing is that everybody seems to say the following:
But it’s not MY senator’s fault, it’s all those other crazy senators from [insert geographical area you dislike the most based upon stereotypes] who are messing this country up.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
The BO AA team is about 25mins from where I live and he was called up 3 weeks ago. I’ve already been twice. They’re going to ban me one of these days when I get too drunk and express my true feelings for him during an at-bat.
If I get him to sign the beater, I’ll send it to SG.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
this made me laugh for some reason. i’m not TBL, but i say go for it.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Umm, who’s in control of the House and Senate right now?
Yeah >.>
July 28th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
@ August – individual senators approval ratings are incredibly high and that is why incumbency is so strong even when people hate the Senate, they do nothing to change it
July 28th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
@IPG-i had the same thing happen to me in the AM round up. did you rip on devin hester too??No, just ripped the democrats. I think it was just an cyber-fuck up. Oh, and Deven Hester does, in fact, suck.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
ill, just send me your puppy instead.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
so he was called up to AA a couple weeks ago? man crush on a AA player? interesting… jk. i wanted to get a Braun jersey when he was at Nashville but opted against it. i wish i lived closer to a minor league place. Single A Beloit is like 65-70 minutes. Too far on a weeknight.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
@August – for real, when I move back up to TN, me and you are going to run for the two senate seats. I tend to lean conservative and you tend to lean liberal so we can each get elected and form a bi-partisan partnership and clean this place up!

What’s the worst siting you’ve ever had? Mine was a Dodge ram that had 2 bumper stickers with the battle flag, one of those rear window covers that you can see through with the battle flag, and then to top it off, had a pair of metal testicles hanging from the tail hitch with a 3rd bumper sticker proclaiming “This Ram has BALLS”.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I got no idea. Never had a met-rx bar. I just returned from the gym and ate about 22 ‘low sodium’ wheat thins. dipped in hummus.

July 28th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
@tallguy – I believe you are referring to truck nuts? I think the worst display I’ve ever seen is the massive confederate flag right on I-40 about half-way between Knoxville and Nashville. It’s a simple display but it drips ignorance. However, the entire rear windshield flag with the gun rack barely visible on the inside is always a classic.
July 28th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
it’s funny, now if i take one perc after any kind of oral surgery or anything i am completely useless. i cannot drive. tolerance, gone.

wow lollapalooza is still going on?-oh to remember to the days of Pearl Jam, Chilli Peppers, Rollins Band, and Soundgarden headlining in.
July 28th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Okay, I got a couple of go for its, and TBL does not want any liabilty issues and remains neutral. I did throw out the andro and the creatine, but the Met-RX bars seemed like a legitimate food source, so what the hell, I’ll go for it as advised.
July 28th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
sportsgal, how much do you want for it?
July 28th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Worst I’ve ever seen was a guy in Kentucky with a confederate flag in the back of his truck, and a bumper sticker that read “Fighting Terrorists Since 1861″.
I wanted to run that skinny prick off the road…
July 28th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Funny sparty, Pearl Jam was the headliner last year and RHCP was the headliner 06. This year Radiohead’s performing Friday night (awesome), Rage is Saturday and Nine Inch Nails is Sunday.
They normally cost $200, I’m selling mine for $160.
July 28th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
