Melodic Rock HOF?

[7 Wishes]

I'm with you. I don't understand why some people get all bent out of shape if the thread goes off topic. Save that predictable shite for the BT'ers and Espee kissers. Besides, you learn stuff all the time here...such as insisde info on Hamburger Herbie, and finding out you never, EVER make fun of a fireman's moniker. EVER.

[belar]

This thread is awesome.

Gone from HOF, to fighting, to REO sucks, Bryan Adams getting in (which he will), to Lukather, to Dean owning Andrews ass, to Lou Gramm is fat, to more fighting, to fucking soccer.

It doesn't get any better than this folks.

You're right, man. Good stuff.

By the way - soccer is boring.

You know what is almost as bad as fuckin soccer? NBA. Pure shit. It's all rigged, and all the stars get preferential treatment, and the phantom fouls..you gotta love seeing the "world's best athletes(my as)" trip over those painted lines on the floor, and throw their hands up and complain, then hear the whistle. it's so gay.


I also like how Bill Walton jocks all "these great warriors, these men" and have said "man/warrior" miss three weeks due to a hang nail. Biggest pussies in the world, basketball players. Disgusting these primadonna raping potsmokers get all the jack they do.

It drives me crazy when a defender has position while checking Shaq, and he just keeps backing up and dunks the ball. The defender has both feet planted and gets pushed out of the way. Stupid

No shit, and then the zebra blows the whistle, and Shaq air balls the FREE THROW. Nice work ethic you fucking Baboon.

Why would anyone even watch that NBA trash? I see nothing athletically entertaining about the game. Fuckin overpaid whiny bitches all of them. Look at Iverson, couldn't get along with the sixers management and acted like a baby. Gets traded and is pulling the same shit in his new home. Couldn't be that he'sthe problem. Gotta be everyone else.

Yeah, my interest in the NBA died the second time Jordan retired. His third stint was B.S.

Maybe we need a pro lacrosse team here...

Ummmmm.... I don't think so. NFL is by far the most popular sport in the US.

I agree with all of that. But I was big into tennis back when McEnroe, Connors, Becker, Lendl, Navritalova, Evert, etc. played. Then when Sampras and Agassi were the kings, it was good. But now there are no personalities to make you watch tennis anymore.

Well, I didn't want to piss anyone off by saying "IMO", but there you go. I know that if you went by general popularity, it would look more like this:

NFL
NBA
MLB
NHL
MLS

True. I actually watched tennis when I was younger, but all of the players of today seem to blend together in my mind. I just can't get into it anymore.

Andrew, I know dude. Brain Tumours are tough, no doubt. I am not a doctor, but I'll play one here at MR. Since when does having a brain tumour cause one to gain 258 lbs?



Because, when you have a major trauma like that- you have to take prednisone. Which is a steroid.

That will put the weight on BIG TIME.

( talking from some personal knowledge here!)

I second that one JGal!

What the MR HOF should entail is a number of categories.

1- Bands Entry to 4 bands per year

2- MR posters Entry- 4 posters per year

3- Avatars- 2 per year

4- Single best sentences 4 per year

5- Single best smack down posts 4 per year

6- Best cuss out- 2 per year

7- Best thread. 2 per year

8- Best signature of the year 2 per year



That would be a well rounded MR HOF

Gotta go with my sig (quote) being one of the best of '06/'07

Not gonna leave any room for exceptions to the 4 per year just in case there are some really deserving that are forgotten at voting time?

I couldn't agree more, what a great post! Fuck "football," it's for Euro FAGS!

Don't start with the whole American anti-"proper" football thing. "Soccer" is the beautiful game. I'm a hardcore Pats fan, I love violent contact sports as much as the next guy, but proper football is the best sport in the world.

You have got to be joking?

Soccer? It's not even a sport. It's a bunch of third world ass clowns chasing around a coconut and kicking it past a guy who just got chased 14 miles by a cheetah and later a rhino, through a couple trees. Gimme a break. Soccer blows. Then you have got the Euros who of course get all beered up on Guiness motor oil, and when their beloved team loses 0-0 on a shootout, they throw ziplock bags of blood and urine at the opposing fans and players. No folks, I am NOT joking. Urine bombs are on display at soccer games. The Goddamned Mexicans played the USA at the Rose Bowl, attendance, 4, 500 (the Rose Bowl holds 100,000+ by the way. The Bleacher Beaners got pissed because their illegal border jumping citizens got rolled by the Americans, so they not only threw urine bombs on the Americans, but chanted "Osama Osama" during the SSB.

Don't get me started on soccer and all the trash it brings with it.

[belar]

Oh boy.

Speaking of European sports, can anyone explain Cricket to me? I watched a good part of a game (match?) in a pub once when I was in London, and couldn't for the life of me figure out what was going on.

[styxman]

Oh boy.

2 teams of 11 men, object of the game is to score as many runs before the opposing team bowls you out, then you try to bowl them out before they reach your total. Three wickets are placed at both ends with two sets of stumps placed on the wickets, if the ball hits the wicket and the stumps fall off you're out, if you hit the ball up high and it's caught you're out, if you block the ball with your legs and deemed it would have hit the wicket you're out LBW (Leg before wicket). Each time you exchange sides with the non batting partner you score a run but if the opposing team hit the wickets while you're in mid stream, you're out also. Hit the ball along the ground to the boundary..marked by a rope you don't have to run as you automatically score four runs. Hit the ball clean out of the ground you score six. The balls are bowled in overs, six per over but if the bowler bowls wide of an certain area, the team gains a run, if the bowler bowls a no ball, the team score another run and the bowler has to bowl again. Bowler (person who runs down and in a cricket action aims the ball at the batsman)
Now considering the ball is flying down at 150+mph, it's probably one of the hardest games to master as each wicket is different, by this I mean the groundsmen prepare the wicket to the point it's bone dry and cracked not green grass.
Best watched with warm real ale and on a sleepy summer afternoon, see if you fall asleep it's no big deal as fuck all will have happened

Thanks styxman. I get some of what you're saying, but I'm not sure what some of it means. I'm sure if I had some ale it would probably help!

[styxman]

A truck load of beer and you'd be a fan of cricket for life

[Rockindeano]

Yeah, it's sort of like "Pin the tail on the Donkey." Real similar.

Pin the Tail on the Donkey...That's what Bush played with Chaney (or however you spell it) right? Nothin' like Cricket Dean

Cricket RULES.

This is MY game. Can't beat anything that runs 5 days and still doesn't have a result. Kick ass game. Play it every chance I get.

Drew, you must be a huge fan of that idiotic show "Lost" too, huh. My wife watches that stupid show in what the 4th season, and still don't know what the hell is going on. Friggin wild goose chase. Stupid

Dude, what the fuck are you smoking? Retract that shit now.

I'll tell you what lasts for more than 5 days and doesn't have a result.

USA @ Iraq. Started in 2003 and it's still going. That doesn't make it good.

Oh you must post a pic of you in one of those
cute knicker outfits Wombat.

[whocares]

that's gotta be a hot pic, eh Moon?

[Moon Beam]

Damn these cricket guys are hot!............




Sorry Wombat

[Rockindeano]

You'll see a pic of Andrew in knickers once Yulog picks up his PM.

[whocares]

ya know I didn't care for cricket before seeing that pis, but to see KFC's logo on the wickets (or are they stumps?) makes me dislike it even more. Shit, companies will sponsor anything remotely called a sport.
