But something underrated is how death erases the fact that someone can be a serial NCAA cheat and then end up with a Classic in his name. Will there be a TARK classic if he dies a horrible death?

Jimmy V Jimmy V's ESPY speech Too soon? Not after being beaten over the head with it last night (thank god for Tivo) and for the last umpteen years. That speech was so long ago I think Babe Ruth won the ESPY for athlete of the year. |

I can't believe this is my first crack at this delicious topic....
NYC pizza
Swedish cars
London restaurants
Pretzels full stop
Getting the call "right" (i.e. instant replay)
Bruce Springsteen
Caesar salads w or w/out chicken/shrimp steak
Foxy Knoxy
Soccer ignorant Americans
Soccer snob Americans with club scarves who say "pitch" and "boots"
Potato chips
Timeouts
Hawaii (no excuse if you are on the east coast and haven't been to 5 or 6 Caribbean islands first)
Cake (the pastry, not the band- they were under-rated)
the movie Almost Famous (yes, still merits inclusion)
Paul McCartney specfically
The Beatles generally
Dunkin Donuts
Matt Damon
The NFL (if they could get the advertisements under 3000 or so per game I'll agree to take them off)
Graphic novels

Wine - I mean, it's nice and all, but I think it's just another way to be snobby more than anything else. Automobiles - giant pains in the ass, if you ask me. California - it's not the best place ever. Macs - don't want to start a flame war, but again, not the saving grace of humanity. Natalie Portman - she was nude in one movie. She was surprisingly unattractive. Smoking bans in dive bars - they've replaced the smell of smoke with the smell of urine. Not a good trade. Fax Machines - why are they still around, anyway? 30 Rock - it's a good show. It's not the best comedy ever made, relax already. Serial dramas - can be awesome, e.g. The Wire. But also can be crappy, e.g. FlashForward. AFS & HSB: Have you ever played Diplomacy? All strategy, no chance, and backstabbing a plenty. I strongly disagree on California. It's the Edited. |

Cilantro isnt overrated, its just terrible What he said. I'd say the same for London restaurants. Who in the entire world is overrating those, bin? I'm pretty sure we all know they suck (well, the Indian and Turkish food is OK, but that's about it) |

Diplomacy belongs to FLHoya, not me. Blame him. HoyaTalk Diplomacy anyone? That could be amazing, or a disaster. Or both. Awesome game, but it utterly destroys friendships. |

I managed to have a weekly game with the same fellas in high school with no real drama. Yes, I was obviously in the popular clique. Diplomacy is a game that works really well via email, so there is a possibility of this. Let me do some research and see if there's a good online tool out there. |

I've never played Diplomacy, but with winter break approaching, I think this might be intriguing.

I'm confused. Is Tbird John Goodman? Who are the large black gentleman that allow Bando (Goose) to speak? |
