  1. Check out some of the stuff he did in the 70s.
  2. Russian mafia Since it's dead, it's probably one of Putin's rivals.
  3. Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
  4. Bonus: The Posidon Adventure (the original, ignore the rest) Meteor
  5. Most of them were disasters. A couple of good ones were Earthquake and the Towering Inferno. You can catch both of them on http://youtube.com Brought to you by the 70's Preservation Society: yes, we did in fact drink the bong water.
  6. One thing I haven't heard anyone say is that Paterno, as a man of his generation, was ill equipped to handle such a scandal. Men of his generation didn't talk about such things. To them, child abuse and molestation occurred but it was always some drunken bum or some pervert. NOT people that they knew and trusted. For people that they knew and worked with for years, they simply would not believe it unless they had seen it with their own eyes. This is a common trait of men of the "Warrior generation". They trusted their friends to a fault and would only abandon them in the face of overwhelming evidence. His integrity did not fail him. His personal loyalty did.
  7. I've never had any problems with it. It's got a small footprint, runs in the background and covers all of the major bases (anti-virus, firewall, email scanning, anti-spyware). None of them are perfect but I like this one because once its running, it's reliable and you can sort of forget about it.
  8. At my age I call it spawning because it involves a lot of flopping around gasping for breath.
  9. Odin never asks for anything I can't deliver. One wonders why this carpenter god made it to the big time. Oh that's right. They murdered their rivals.
  10. Yes- he was THAT King James of the King James bible. He commissioned the first English version of the bible, and rumor has it, the translators put the 6 anti-gay verse translations in the bible (they could have gone in other directions) as a slight toward old King James.
  11. Fact: Lot's of viruses come from Russia or Eastern Europe. Bulgaria and Romania are particularly bad.
  12. So old Abe wasn't just a Slayer.
  13. Dress up in a chicken suit... oh wait. Wrong kind of fantasy altogether.
  14. I don't trust the Russians.
  15. Webroot SecureAnywhere http://www.webroot.com/En_US/index.html It's pricey but it's very good and comprehensive.
  16. this is the english version with Viggo Mortenson (Aragorn)
  17. Tonight on the Military Channel (Direct TV- 287) @ 7:00 or 1900 CST Das Boot (the Boat) The true story of a German U-boat crew during WWII. Widely regarded as a classic- very exciting. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_boot
  18. We have preachers claiming that this discovery has proven the existence of god. Completely untrue but these guys don't subscribe to Scientific American
  19. I really wish that "the God particle" nickname had not stuck. It has given people some serious misconceptions.
  20. In 1970 Black Sabbath released their self-titled album, established Ozzy Osborn as an artist and became one of metals premier and most influential bands. During its time, Black Sabbath was highly controversial because of its dark imagery. Their music was widely criticized by evangelicals of all sorts on several continents. When asked about this Ozzy said, "It's not about evil love. It's about selling albums," http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCjspyo-_aI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey2zwdErPvQ
  21. The most obnoxious anti-smoking nazi is a former smoker jonesing for a butt.
  22. Saturday night bonus track: Bastille Day from Caress of Steel, 1975.
  23. Rush's breakout album came in 1976. 2112 was the paragon of the power trio. Inspired by Anthem, a novella by Ayn Rand, 2112 explored a dystopian future where collectivism had run amok and individuality was so dangerous that there was no word for "I" or "me". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQEgZNqa8jE
