I like to go to strip clubs with the money I make from gambling.

Enjoying the Houston bench reaction after Harden's go-ahead game winner. http://youtu.be/UQxPYHxatGY

Wow. He was at a Warriors game a few weeks ago the night before a concert in Oakland. He gave out a free CD to the 20,000 in attendance. He had a cane and dark shades, but other than that, he looked healthy enough. It was a good night.

Hah, yeah same here - I remember trying to hold my own in a discussion with Metadigital - and not doing so well... or just discussing politics as a young ideological Scandinavian on an American board heh Hah, yeah same here - I remember trying to hold my own in a discussion with Metadigital - and not doing so well... or just discussing politics as a young ideological Scandinavian on an American board heh Metadigital handed my metaphorical butt to me a coupleof times too. And the guys was the WoT as interesting as it is nowadays? It was actually pretty contentious back then. Keep in mind this was directly during the aftermath of the Iraq invasion. Ender and Mkreku went round after round nonstop it felt like. Of course...time tends to distort memories..

That's precisely why it was so impressive. Who else but Kobe would have the narcissism to chuck 50 shots on his farewell game. Lols.

Baller.

Ouch. Still...I'm hoping the Bio-in-Exiles with Gaider will have enough in the bank to fund a brand new game.

Did they ever sell out of the Collector's Edition box?

Thibs hired as Coach and President of Basketball Operations for the T-Wolves. That's a great gig. He's got a lot of good young assets to work with: KAT, Ender, Lavine, Rubio and that crazy, cranky Uncle KG.

Well, it's not like they need a specific Darklands license to make an RPG set in the Holy Roman Empire. Also intrigued by a post apocalyptic "Dark Ages" setting after the sacking of Rome. The trick is to find a time period and setting that's not standard mainstream medieval, yet still accessible enough to attract buyers.

Loved Seven Samurai and The (original) Magnificent Seven. Hopefully Westerns are making a quasi comeback.

Yeah, Jerk.

Who owns the rights to Darklands? Roman or Byzantine setting would also be cool.

It’s something I’ve been talking to Feargus every once in a while for the past couple of years and he’s been supportive."

Empire: Total War with the Darth Mod. Playing my best bit at being the Worst Imperialist I can be. Dominating the West African, Caribbean, and North American Trade Triangle. Subjugating Indians in South Asia and the New World. Making lots of money with The East India Company. Also, fought off Pirates of the Caribbean.

The histrionics on this thread. Lols. As a proud Democrat, I'm solidly behind Hillary Clinton and believe that she is by far the best candidate that filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission. I believe her husband was a tremendous President and Barack Obama is as well. America is in great shape and will be continue this progressive trajectory under the inevitable Hillary Clinton Administration.

Haha!! Sure, it will be amusing no doubt. The only possible potential issue with this that I can think of is it might become hard (my free time may become very limited around the holidays for example) for the loser to keep up, depending on how prolific the winning poster is. Perhaps we can set up minimum guidelines. ie: ""like" and make one comment of support and/or affirmation of the other's brilliance/righteousness for at each of their posts covering said time period. If the winner is especially prolific the loser will only be expected to do this for a minimum average of 2 posts per day". Note: I'm no fan of Gromnir, he's the only person I have on ignore in any forum anywhere, largely because of the insane ogrespeak. I will however have no problems with him drawing something up if he wishes so long as it's not in ogrespeak, and actually in sane and clearly legible English. I doubt he will want to do that, I'm just throwing this out there since his name came up. Cool. It's pretty much a done deal. I actually like the idea of having the terms drawn up in Grommiespeak. That'll give this the over-the-top touch to our absurd bet.

Clinton is following the General Election playbook as the prohibitive favorite without any credible Primary challengers. Sanders played his role as the gadfly from the left to remind her to shore up the part base from the left wing base. She'll play with the idea of selecting Elizabeth Warren to double down on the female angle and cement progressive liberals, or go the more conventional route and pick Julian Castro --Latino son of immigrants, liberal, young but seasoned, and potential future Presidential candidate. Really, anyone who thinks Hillary Clinton isn't literally the overwhelming odds on favorite to be elected as the next American President is either delusional or completely dismissive of the salient metrics. PaddyPower is currently giving 4 to 11 odds for a Clinton victory in November and 5 to 1 on Trump. And I'm betting Valsuelm on an even 50/50! My expected Value for this wager is insane! Can't wait for November 8 to begin collecting on Val. Lols.

Good man. If Trumps beats Clinton --from the period beginning the day after the General Election through the day of Inauguration, I will "like" and make one comment of support and/or affirmation of your brilliance/righteousness for each of your posts covering said time period. You will do the same for each one of mine if Clinton defeats Trump. Sound good to you? If nothing else- hilarity will ensue. Maybe have one of our resident lawyers --Gromnir or Amentep --come up with the legalese of the terms of our agreement?

The sooner we can focus and support Hilary as the only Democrat candidate the better I dont mind the Republicans tearing themselves apart with these personal attacks and vitriol against each other but I dont like to see the Democrats doing it....yes I know it sounds naive as Democratic candidates aren't these perfect people but I still feel politics doesnt have to be so.....vituperative, like the Republican candidacy race has been That's overblown. This year's Democratic race has been pretty tame. Even when compared to Obama - Clinton in 08, which was more competitive and with nastier attacks on each other. And keep in mind that these were two "establishment" democrats Democrats with sophisticated campaigns going at it. '16 is the year of anti-establishment uprisings where the nut job Tea Partier is now considered the "sane" choice for the Republicans. In any other year, Ted Cruz would be considered the least electable major party candidate of the modern era...except that Trump ha him beat on that. On paper, this should be an easy November victory for Clinton. She just has to play it safe and go through the motions and not take Sanders' socialistic bait through the California primary. She'll secure the party base by either doubling down with Elizabeth Warren...or more likely selecting Julian Castro to be her running mate/VP. Obama, Biden, and Sanders will give the standard party unification speeches at the Convention and Bill Clinton will give the keynote prior to introducing Hillary when she formally accepts the nomination. All the while, convention goers will snicker with glee at the dysfunction of the Republican Party. Anybody in Ireland betting on anything other than a November Clinton victory is just throwing dead money around. Bernie is kind of a wimp. He doesn't dig into Clinton near as much as he could and should. Which leads some credence to the theory he's just a stooge candidate to make it look like there was a contest (I personally think he's legit, just naive). Trump is more than likely the Republican nominee, even without the 1237 at this point. The RNC has already begun to publicly float the possibility they will make him the nominee if he falls short of the number, which they are smart to do as if they don't the RNC is toast. Your prediction on Clinton winning is way off, which isn't surprising since you think 'tea-parties' are nut jobs. She isn't going to secure much of the party base at all. There has not been a more hated politician in the field in my lifetime, and I can't think of a candidate from history that was more hated either, both by the opposition as well as by a significant number of people within her own party. A lot of Bernie supporters will not be voting for her, a lot of democrats will be voting for Trump, and you'll have better luck finding needles in haystacks than finding a Republican or even many true independents voting for Hillary. Trump will absolutely crush Clinton in November. Bernie would have had a much better chance vs. Trump than Clinton will. Clinton would beat any other red candidate that hasn't withdrawn, but she going to get housed by Trump. It's going to be the largest victory margin since '84. I'd like to see you tangibly back this up. Wanna put a a friendly -non monetary- wager on that? We're talking about Clinton v Trump, of course.

After tomorrow night, the Democratic race is pretty much over. Barring a major catastrophe, Bernie Sanders will have no viable path to win the nomination. http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/primary-forecast/new-york-democratic/ Trump will win NY but it'll still be a major uphill climb for him to secure the 1237 delegates to clinch a Republican nomination. http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/primary-forecast/new-york-republican/

The Sharks should never play at home ever again. ...atleast for the rest of these playoffs....

Heh, James Harden? First team? Were you high that day? This was back when the narrative was that Golden State was "lucky" and Harden or Lebron should have been MVP over Curry in '14-15.' Mea culpa. I was probably a bit inebriated when I put Harden over Klay for the Third Team this year.

Kobe, you magnificent basterd. 60 pts on 50 shots --including 21 3-pt attempts. Even the Great Chucker in the sky did a double take. ...And the Warriors took #73.
