It's big, baggy, white and full of gibberish.

$1.1m is about what I guy like Horton got, and I don't expect e.g. Lupul to get a whole lot more. Nash is special, because he is a touted 1st-overall pick who already scored over 40 goals in a low-scoring season. I know Zherdev was a high pick too, but you can't readily compare him to Nash in terms of pure market value.

I already did. Also, I meant no offense. The shirt is ugly, but I own similar ones that I only use when sitting at home nerding in front of my computer. Krookie had a valid explanatation for his dress code, however, so all is fine with the world I suppose. :D

Well, that explains why you had the shirt on, but not why you posted a pic of yourself wearing it so everyone could see.

I guess that could speak for me too. It's still hideous.

I don't think the debate should concern Krookie's arms, but rather that hideous t-shirt he's wearing. It really is hideous. Sorry Krookie.

Guitar Tabulatures are now illegal!
There are bass tabs too, you know, and pianists, well they read notation. It's simply a case of the guitar being the perfect instrument for a fairly good way to transcribe the sounds it makes.

This Malkin business is a reminiscence of what was happening with Soviet players in the late 80s/early 90s (think Mogilny etc). I'm sure there'll be a bit of controversy, but hopefully it'll blow over. The scary thing is that a guy like Mogilny fled from a government and regime that no longer exists, whereas Malkin might be playing with the mafia here, and mafia people tend to have long memories. A bit scary, as GoA said.

MLS all-stars beat Chelsea
What's the fuss about them losing a pre-season friendly? Nobody gives a squat about results in that kinda match; what you're looking for is overall performance, the ability to gain match fitness, and the chance to see a number of players in action (usually there are also tons of substitut

The funny videos thread
It reminded me of that scene in Hot Shots when Topper sings "Only You", and a few flashes of things they've gone through together (all parodies of other movies) are shown. The one I'm thinking of is the Superman bit where a dove lands on his hand and it's all romantic, but it just won't come off and he shakes his arm and everything. Hilarious.

Guitar Tabulatures are now illegal!
Guitar junkie 1: "Hey, Johnny, whaddaya got?" Guitar junkie 2: "Um, let's see, 'Guinnevere' by CSN, 'Tears in Heaven' and 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right', Dylan song, really good stuff." Guitar junkie 1: "Dude, that's awesome stuff, can I try that Dylan song." Guitar junkie 2: "Not until I see what you got. That's the rules, homey." Guitar junkie 1: "Oh, sure, sorry. Of course, dude. I got 'Blackbird', 'Old King' by Neil Young, 'Spanish Caravan' and, er... 'Smoke on the Water'" Guitar junkie 2: "'Smoke on the Water'? What kinda crap are you trying to pull on me driving for two hours looking for cops in the mirror and I come down here and you bring 'Smoke on the ******* Water'??? Jesus, I thought you were pro man, **** this. I'm out.

Guitar Tabulatures are now illegal!
True enough, didn't even think of that (and to think I own a bunch of those, heh...), but it's still silly and stupid since guitar tabs made by you or me are interpretations and as such shouldn't be subject to legal action.

Guitar Tabulatures are now illegal!
The baffling thing is that they actually consider this harmful rather than a gift from above to help them spread their music. How the hell could guitar tabulature on the Internet hurt a record company or artist? Are they just being [pimples on the rear end of f

What Music Are You Currently Listening To?
I think he had a tendency to say that about songs a couple of years after their release. "Cry Baby Cry" also springs to mind. Actually I too like "And Your Bird Can Sing"; I think it's one of their very finest songs. The Anthology version is even better than the one on Revolver because all that (probably weed-influenced) giggling just makes you so happy inside.
