Around SBN: FSU To Big 12 'Inevitable,' According To Report

Game 69 Overflow Thread


I'm stunned to learn that a prominent Royal has recently divorced. I'm more emotionally fragile than usual about this.

Man, this loss is gonna hurt. My only consolation will be if Fulchino gets the win.

Lawyers Guns and Money was his only real hit. He’s got so many good songs, but I guess he was the type of songwriter that flew under the radar a bit.

Werewolves still gets lots of play.

And Linda Ronstadt had some hits with a few of his songs(Poor, poor, pitiful me). He had to sober up, and apparently that took the buzz off of him. The entertainment biz is tough.

never seen the show. Felt like I was missing something. Would that be correct?

I didn't like the movie that much

especiallly compared to the show — it was much, much tamer than the show

I was hoping I would get a nice feel for the show from the movie. Now I HAVE to watch the tv show.

by wildthang on Jun 23, 2009 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

I exaggerate

the movie might not have been so bad if I hadn’t watch all the show so much

3rd and 4th seasons are my favorites — good stuff in 2 and 5 as well.

The first season is okay, but it’s a bit slow as the really get running with the characters.
