[Tonight, and only tonight]

Deja Vu, I was drinking Milwaukee's Best while watching the game

lololol, you poor

I was drinking Mickeys myself

[Re: WPE]

Just you wait, round two, big upset, I will take down Herooftime55.

I just need to find something really stupid to say.

[The latest numbers]

I actually hadn't seen these numbers before, not that its very relevant to my interests at this current moment, as I have no immediate plans on exiting this war in the immediate barring unforseen circumstances. (Such as Doomhouse learning the meaning of "unrealistic" and presenting more realistic terms)

64Digits: $11.4m per nation

Sanitarium: $16.6m per nation

Have to say, I'm flattered that me and my people are considered deserving of 45% more reps then HoT and his people. I must be doing something right.

hmm fair enough, I of course still like CoJ and Schatt and so would cut him loose for less. I'd definitely tell you go to $%&@ yourself if you asked me to write a play. HoT almost got me with TOOL (since they've seemed pretty honorable and all.) until I actually read what was being asked for.

To answer your question HoT yea I'd probably take that if I were you guys. It's nothing like most of those same people demanded when they were in power.

Yeah, I can't remember a time when "those same people" launched a pre-emptive war out of paranoia and admitted that the people they attacked did nothing wrong.

Yeah...

[It's that guy!]

These comics are about as high in quality as the GOONS alliance.

[Where are the carriers?]

Aircraft carriers fuel lasts them a real long time, considering its uranium. I read somewhere it could last them 50 years, not sure if that's true or not, but if they sent in aircraft carriers off the coast line that means less flight time which means less repair time. After each flight they have to re-grease everything etc. Plus with a less flight time you burn less fuel traveling to the designated area, and more time actually doing the job.

I really hope you aren't implying we launch nukes from Aircraft Carriers.

Well, its never been done, but how many nukes have we launched (or rather, dropped) total?

I'm not sure about presently, but nuclear weapons have been taken to sea aboard aircraft carriers in the past, first on the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1950.

[NCAA Picks for Thursday and Friday:]

That laugh you'll hear will be me if KU loses before the Final Four. It isn't their fault, obviously, but I don't recall ever seeing an easier path.

Also, GO DUKE.

Michigan State, 2001.

Accuscore lists their probability of making the final four at around 50%, they should make it, but obviously nothing is a sure bet.

[Where are the carriers?]

Why does the US need 11 carriers in the first place when no other country has more than two? What are those carriers doing in all of those places, just sailing around looking cool? Why is there an aircraft carrier helping in Japan? That's a very odd use of an aircraft carrier.

In fact, why does the United States need to be present in any of these situations? Mind your own business.

Doing what the Navy is best at, and that is to be a show of force. The Navy sends ships around the world every year just kind of on tours to show the world what we have.

[NCAA Picks for Thursday and Friday:]

Ohio State played really well last weekend, hard to tell if they'll keep it up this next weekend. I wouldn't be at all surprised of Kentucky knocked them out.

Otherwise, I think Florida State beats VCU. VCU played well in the first weekend, but Florida State has that really stingy defense.

Kansas's road to the final four looks like a Rock Chalk Cake Walk, almost identical to 2008, when they played a 16, 8, 12, and 10. This year, if they make it there, it'll be a 16, 9, 12, and 10/11, but Richmond, VCU and Floria State are all tough teams that showed that they aren't teams to be doubting.

Also, Duke sucks.

[Hold up wait a minute]

This only takes away from the Blogs that are worth reading

No, there are no blogs worth reading.

I haven't checked in a few days, but I'm sure that one of them is some GOONS who think that they can be smart, witty, and insightful, but fails at all three. Probably by Nippy.

[NCAA picks for Saturday:]

Brutal, absolutely brutal. That foul shouldn't have been called 90 feet from the basket. Absolutely brutal.

It wasn't a shooting foul, so the distance from the basket has little to do with it.

Pitt fouled the guy on the rebound, you can debate up and down whether it was right to call the foul, but at the end of the day, a foul was committed and the ref called it. I do hate to see games decided that way, and its a tough break for Pitt, but hey, maybe you guys will realize that really good teams do get beat early and stop ragging on my Jayhawks who have suffered a similar fate entirely too many times over the past 5-6 years.

[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]

Thats what you get for betting against the Jayhawks

[Head start before tomorrow's tip-off:]

Duke

I was 12/16 on the first day, had Mizzou over Cincy, Penn State over Temple, Louisville over Morehead St, and Saint Johns over Gonzaga

But its ok, with Richmond beating Vanderbilt (which I picked, ) and Morehead State over Louisville, Kansas's route to the elite eight got paved in gold. According to Accuscore's bracketcaster, factoring in todays developments Kansas now has a 35% chance of reaching the final four this year. If they make it there, I feel very confident in their chances at winning it all.

[The word surrender.]

Surrender, like most words, has several meanings, to varying extents.

I think in the most commonly used context, to surrender is to essentially give your enemy something which you would normally not wish to give them. Think of it as surrendering property, sometimes that property is your sovereignty, but not always..

The type of surrender we see in this game are not exclusively the type of surrender you would consider military in context.

Should you forget to pay your car bill for a few months, the repossession guys might come, and after a brief fist fight, you might hightail out on foot to lick your wounds, effectively surrendering your car for repossession.

Alliances wouldn't agree to anything we see in terms unless they felt they had to, they don't like it, they aren't giving it, they are surrendering it.

[Breaking Down Brackets on Selection Sunday]

Rock Chalk Jayhawk all the way to Houston.

Kansas is in a tough bracket, and its hard to string six wins together, but perhaps location might be on their side, playing the first two rounds (or technically, rounds 2 and 3) in Tulsa, then provided they make it through that (seriously, they might as well be playing those games in the Phog, Tulsa is under 4 hours away from Lawrence, KS), they get to move on to the Alamodome, a site where Kansas has a little history of winning important games at.

[***Pink Team Elction***]

Such a sad state of affairs on the pink team that a 4k nation can be senate eligible

[A Quick Reminder]

Yeah, I agree. Great coverage job.

(I could go on, but I think you get the point. There's a reason GOONS is gaining NS.)

Maybe its the recruitment your using to inflate your stats, or maybe its foolishly spending money in the middle of a war when you had !@#$%* warchests to start with?

[Forced Disbandment Hurr Hurr Durr]

Nobody has ever been forced to disband. Ever.

But yet Doom House et. al. continue to tell everybody about how the evil NPO would go back to disbanding people if Doom House wasn't so kind to curbstomp them to keep them from power.

Also, Carlos Accords jokes are more then funny, they are deep, meaningful, and generally life-changing for anybody who hears them. Thats how big we are, and how important our movement is.

[Couple of thoughts on homosexuality.]

Interesting tidbit about the Westbuo Baptist Church, in 2007 it had just 71 members, and Fred Phelps has 12 children, several of which are lawyers (arguably a successful tactic as many times as they've been sued)

At any rate, I don't particularly love them.

[Rough night]

This is your ankle getting back at you.

Hope you feel better, and jump on IRC that always does the trick for me.

This, You have an infection rooting from your ankle, if you had cut it off, you would have avoided all of this.

But seriously, hope you feel better soon.

[Funny how things work out]

Synaptic shows the most recent version in the Ubuntu repositories to be Wine 1.2.2, which according to wineHQ is the most recent version.

Ubuntu is generally really good with updates to the software in its repository, whereas I think Debian is hesitant to put anything up released after they released the most recent version of their operating system, a freeze of sorts.

Also, I play a fair bit of Sim City 2000 using Wine on my computer, but thats pretty low tech.

[It....is....alive!]

Winblows

But very nice sounding, aside from the windows.

[Another radio show]

I'll give this a listen when it's not 5 AM. You might want to put up an MP3 on an ordinary file hoster for those who don't/can't use WMP; being a game of geeks and college students I'm sure there are plenty of Linux users about.

I don't know about others, but on my computer Xine can handle the streams pretty well for the most part.

Also, how dare you infer that linux users are geeks :outrage:

I use linux and I'm not a geek, I just know alot about computers and I consider the enviornment easier to use.

[Another radio show]

To be honest, I like the idea of a CN Crossfire sort of show, where all the hosts hate each other, but either way, its always nice to have another show to listen to when I get the time.

[GOONS membership's real opinions regarding the war]

Because I like GOONS

So is that why your neutral and throw a !@#$fit when people who are kinda allied to you think about getting involved?

[Ankle really hurts...]

Saw off your ankle. Trust me, I'm a doctor*.

sounds legit, you better do it MVP, follow the doctor's orders.
