Banshees Scream

I think it involved the constant hijacking of SC's posts. Notapotato and Star Crossed are very different if you analyzed both of their styles. Star Crossed (the eccentric side) will manipulize or exaggerate or (analyze a certain situation in massive detail) which usually dragged the topic far off course. The fact which makes one wonder is (in doing so) his posts were always very quality. He has been ridiculed by (Canadian Paul for example) for (being hypocritical of his stance on posting etiquette) which everybody has a different opinion. It really doesn't matter to me. Nap is more of a "two lines that say more then that" kind of poster. Quality itself isn't about the structure it's about what the structure represents. Notapotato (being the chief mod) liked to distort what he disagreed with at one point and Star Crossed wouldn't lay down to the not-a-potato hijacking. Anyway, the forum just gets more liberal as time goes on so that kind of hijacking isn't common anymore.

As you said that I thought of the song " " ... going down ... going down now. It was written by Kansas Joe McCoy. And no I'm not a plasma screen TV, Terminator. I've never been that clear.

It's a modern day in time on this database and these days I never hesitate to tell anybody "how the deal goes down". If you can't comprehend what I'm saying just understand I basically tell all of you the way it is. First of all, I have no idea what Godot was expecting when he revived this thread ... maybe he can explain to me what the reason behind his motive is. If I remember correctly the heated conflict beteween Star Crossed and Notapotato was built up from Notapotato "being unable to stand Star Crossed" which I think eventually the conflict resolved itself, but the foundation of the feud isn't coming back to me (and I'm not reading this whole thread right now) so I'll just leave it at a confrontation that is now history. Overall, I felt Star Crossed never really found himself as a contributer on this database. At some extent if it weren't for me, Star Crossed would have possibly been labled the forums "heel" but I spared him from that luxury. I'm sure he still scrolls through this forum but just keeps his presence on the down-low. I think it's possible he is posting under a different identity but "if he is", he is probably doing it right. Either way Star Crossed was alright with me.

As I walked outside today the humidity felt like it was taking my skin off. It was outrageous. And the heatwave of production that we are fond of won't be slow out of the gate this summer. That's for sure.

It hasn't been the greatest year for broadcasters. It hasn't been the greatest year for masters of the big screen either. Dino Risi, an Italian director, who was nominated for two oscars for the 1974 film "Scent of a woman" has died in Rome at the age of 91. He was regarded one of the masters of Italian comedy. He said "I expect some surprises. Life, after all, is not all it's made out to be,"

A buy low candidate, Mary? Always remember that it's not "what they are doing" it's "what they will do". The best of scouting is always seen at a distance.

Jack Lucas is dead at 80. Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.

George Takai has one of the voices which are essential to hear. Out of all competition that can be categorized there are a class of people in each category who have the edge. Takei has one of those voices where nobody can sound like him. He has one of those voices where an impressive voice-double could be compared to the uncle who sings at the wedding. It is George Takai who has the most original voice I have ever heard.

There are two sides to my view on politics. One side of me knows the crisis the United States is in and is fond of the solutions and the other realizes how deceptive some of these people voting are. I respect John McCain for his service and if you were locked up for "six years" by the Vietnamese, you would no doubt adapt to that "must win war" mentality, even if there really isn't a war going on. I try and see from where others stand and from where John McCain stands, I can see his deception. I really feel it's time for a Democrat to take office and wrap up our stay in Iraq. The dilution wealthy Republicans live "Example: He is 51 and she is 48" is "Wouldn't you rather have the war over there then over here? But that's bullshit. There isn't any war. The most pathetic part of it is most republicans "truly believe that" and believe it or not, that fear is McCains greatest weapon. Hypothetically Obama can say 'There is nothing to fear but fear itself" .. and that's why I don't think he will win. Some of us see "The Iraq Stay" as a barrier from terrorism (I hate that word) and I'm in doubt Obama will be able to knock down that view point. It's really comforting for the Republican who says "There isn't a draft?" "I'm safe from suicidal maniacs who die for their gods which are make believe" .. but do they ask themselves how much it costs to stay in Iraq?" No. Do they realize that Christian soldiers in the land of Allah makes young Islamic men go mad dog? No. Overall the Republican objective is to rebuild Iraq and I say "Don't paint the neighbors house when yours looks like sh*t!. All I have to say is expect high oil prices and jokes about cod fish which just aren't funny.

Ladies and gentleman, While waiting on double digits .. If you are down with football you might be down with this.

Senator. Barack Obama makes the statement "I will be the Democratic nominee" It's obvious and it's also history but it's also unfortunate because I have my doubting Thomas mask on and if you are looking for change "It's not generally in the face of John McCain" but Liberals can only hope he is the Bob Dole of 2008. I found this line of the article a little eccentric. I think someone needs to open the blinds. There were reports earlier in the day that she would concede, but her campaign said she was "absolutely not" prepared to do so.

I guess a lot of people in life need a transformation in some form or another but the biggest question in life is 'How?' There are answers, but it's a matter of if you can bop the bang or not. Now getting hypothetical somebody might say 'There is the hall way" ... nobody pulls the carpet beneath you and if you can make it through the hallway and out that door the life you know will change dramatically. The results will stand forever. But it's the fear of walking that walk. You gotta see the big picture, understand the big picture and then draw yourself a conclusion.

Mel Ferrer, an actor and director who was married to Audrey Hepburn, has died at the age of 90. Well, Audrey died in 1993 but with having such an attractive woman for all those years it must have done something for his health. Alton Kelley, the creator of 'psychedelic rock posters' is dead at the age of 67. I was never much for posters but he covered some big bands.

I once knew of a guy who lived across the street and thought the Vietnam war was still going on. Early in the morning I would see him all covered in dirt as he came out of the bushes.

I really hate waking up in the middle of the night (like 4 AM) and seeing one of those paid programs on common channels. First of all, I don't even want to be alive at that hour. There are these commercials "with unbelievably talentless actors" who advertize drugs that improve intercourse with the catch phrase "It makes you bigger!" .. and I feel the people they interview "you know, on the streets" are so uneducated and they appear so vulnerable "as if they trust the product like it's some big f****n second coming of the world" .. and 'this is after I'm awake less then five minutes" they always have some like 45 year old deuche bag with some young 25 year old chick who melts as she looks at him like he is her crack dealer who makes 40% off deals. It's total bullshit. If you are awake after 3 AM, don't turn on the TV.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn doesn't finish the memoirs. I was typing that as you posted it.

The more you think about mosquitoes, the more you hate them. It's sort of like everybody from Seventh Heaven besides Jessica Beal or Dr. Phil or .. my list could go on and on. .. (can't even be associated) At least there is a chance John Demanjuk might croak in prison.

Dr. Sheela Basurur, who had been suffering from a rare form of cancer, has lost her battle with the disease at the age of 51.

Eleanor Mondale is facing brain cancer. She claims "I've got a really good chance to beat it"

Hey O! And it pays off. Bo Diddley is reported dead on result of heart failure at the age of 79. It's breaking news ladies and gentleman.

Senator. Ted Kennedy will undergo surgery followed by radiation treatment and chemotherapy.

On a scale from 1 - 10 how serious do we really take this thread? I don't understand the obsession. I admit that squid along with other creatures who roam the downstairs of the sea are interesting, but squid for example is the most disgusting sh*t ever. Then again, I don't eat most seafood in general.
