What's that? a filmed biography of J. Eric Holmes? At last, the recognition our hobby deserves! How about casting the members of Blink 182 as the Lawful Good Blink Dogs? They could do Broadway-style musical numbers, like in Cats.

I think that project may need some work....

One more reason to stay home and watch sports on the television.

Something may be wrong with Amazon's item descriptions. While the stock description of the item is still being displayed, the seller's description of the item has been reduced to something like "In Stock. Ships from FL, United States. Expedited shipping available."

All of the items that I am selling have the sparse description of "In Stock."

Can someone check Amazon.com to see if this is true for a handful of random items?

[Edit: 'tis me browser. Amazon no like Opera.]

Someone else may have posted this, but The Acaeum was not a top nominee for best web-site in 2010!

What's with that? :?:

I can see the item descriptions from sellers, JG. Can you give me a link to something you have listed?

I am aware that fashion may not be something in which many people here are interested. Nevertheless, a totally amazing fashion site - run by a photographer, is the Sartorialist. And it is brilliant.

Don't bet on it. No doubt, they think they won.

What those born outside of Texas may not understand is that Cowboys fans also laughed at Leon Lett. What a jerk.

I called the Cowboys pre-season in that year and my friends all said I was nuts. I had a good hardy har har laugh at the Niners getting beat...and I'd do it again.

While I enjoy the Cowboys appearing on this list, the fact they ran up the score on the Bills that SB is just wrong. They were trying NOT to score at the end. I've never seen a team lay down so quickly and give it up so horribly as the Bills in their 3rd SB loss....it was like they were absolutely begging the Boys to kick their ass.

Beating the 49s in the NFC Championship game that year was much sweeter at the time than the demolition of the Bills.

Wonder if this will actually happen?

Be very cool if it does.

Essentially they did. Their goal is to create experiences that will alienate their members from society in general, creating greater dependancy upon their cult leader. How do you think Gygax did it?
