30. Locking.
Do not post messages that are inflammatory, extreme, divisive, incoherent, or otherwise inappropriate. Do not engage in anti-social, disruptive, or trolling behavior. Do not post broad-brush, bigoted statements. Do not underestimate the power of Rush. They can destroy with a single thought. They can send Midlo over to your house with many boxes of green wine.

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,
the blah blah blah.

27. If you'd gotten that in a little earlier
like, back when he said he wouldn't do Austin Powers 3 because the script sucked, you'd have a winner. Once he did AP 3, though, he's been a little less stand-up.

16. Yes/Oui on Adams
Edited on Mon Jun-23-08 05:25 PM by KamaAina
if for no other reason than that he was going to title his debut album "Bryan Adams Hasn't Heard of You, Either" (the record company balked). :rofl:

An emphatic No/Non on Hart. :puke:

18. Hart's contribution to culture was much more profound
99.9% of people who see somebody else wearing sunglasses at night immediately sing, "I wear my sunglasses at night". There was a study.
