They were pretty intense, just like their music. Made a big splash and disappeared for three years (bar that rather successful "Hush" cover), only to return with an album that was good but couldn't live up to the (waning) hype. I miss them. Oh, and I'm listening to Cake's "Italian Leather Sofa".

In class today, we actually had a discussion about a sainting in Sweden back in the 1400s. Maybe we should saint meta?

It is from KotOR? I can't place it and thought you had a Photoshopped pic of yourself since the pic in your sig is kinda similar around the mouth etc. Oh well.

Eddo, is your avatar actually a picture of you?

"Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music that he's created over the years - I don't really listen to it. But the fact that he's making it, I respect that." Gold. :D

Actually I did mean Michael Johnson. He was the star on 200m and 400m some ten years ago. Never lost and set a crazy world record on 200m at 19.32s if my memory serves me correctly.

Not entirely true. A lot of athletes lose focus, determination and inspiration when they become virtually unbeatable. That's when they switch to something else for a new challenge that doesn't involve sure-fire victories. Note that I'm not saying you're entirely wrong either (Michael Johnson springs to mind), but too much success has halted the progress and will to win for many athletes in many sports.

It's more right for me and the only person I have to live with is myself. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then why must you force that opinion on a bunch of strangers on an online board?

Grrreat.

Far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts. Rush goalie. Two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous.

Yeah, I too reckon that shouldn't be possible. I don't see Edmonton finishing behind all of those teams in the same season, but as Alan says it'll be up to the D how we fare. We've sorted goaltending and have a very deep group of forwards, but Lowe is playing it cool with the defense. He'll upgrade when the right man becomes available, but hopefully the players we have on defense will have coped until then, because even if all those guys turn out the way we hope, that defense won't take us very far.

I watched Zoolander today. Silly and hilarious! Owen Wilson FTW!

1. "European Football fan" doesn't equal "hooligan" 2. Hooligans hardly "do nothing more than cheer and yell encouragement to the team", nor do "European Football fans" 3. The whole tone of it sounds derogatory and also self-contradicting, which makes it sound as if it didn't come out the way it was meant to

Er... What?

I think he knows what NASCAR is. As for NASCAR dads... Yeah, I'm a bit puzzled too.

I once made (as in made with a computer program) a song called "Swooge". The name came from the acronym for Sensible World of Soccer - SWoS.
