OTTOTD 11/11: The I need a lead in edition


                                                            Things I learned to avoid in school last week

Things you should never ever say:

  • 1) X person still watch's Hannah Montana or any Disney channel show at all- No, you are in high school, you don't do it. Soon, you are going to believe this- 856_medium

     

  • 2) On the same topic, you should never ever say you think Miley Cyrus is hot and Megan Fox is not- Son, let me tell you something, Megan Fox is damn hot and don't care about you. 
  • Foxtransfor_9_medium
  • 3) I still think pokemon/yugioh is cool- IF you were in 1998, sure, but this is 2009 (GET A LIFE).

Star-divide

Also, this guy types hilariously:

The menagrs destroid the team that came to the final and for what? nothing gortat was great this year and his going to improve this year.
they trade lee alston and btee and they let turkoglu go becuse he want more money and now they want to let gortat go why destroid the team

 

The mengars:

  717359_4b7a_625x1000_medium

Destroid:

Destroid-monster_medium

 

Also, I included a just for curiosity poll.

Brady Quinn starts again, I still can't find a RB worth a dime and i barely won last week. Ah, Life is awkward as it should be.

Happy Veteran's Day

Anyone following the "Science Community vs Steves Levitt and Dubner" debate?

I just got Superfreakonomics and haven’t gotten to the chapter in question yet, so I hold off judgment, but this is a good article.

Seriously, Clay Aiken thinking Megan Fox is hot is a compelling counter-argument.

This is operating under the assumption that he’s attracted to her in his usual Fruity McGayGay way and not a ’I’d turn straight to hit that’ way.

I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.

I have played close to 8 days of cod4

It might be 11, I don’t remember. I got a lot of play out of it though. I heard its a little faster paced. I’m not big on buying games immediately but this one looks like a good one to pick up now.

Afghan is similar to one in WaW, but for the most part they are unique, I love that stuff blows up in the level, glass breaks, the levels are lot more destructable.

I haven't seen much of the stuff blow up.

Minus Cars. I’m telling you they took some elements of levels and placed them in the new ones. My friends and I all noticed it.

What did you want them to do, put it on Mars?

Of course certain things will be replicated, but it’s facets of the levels, not the levels themselves. They didn’t need to re-invent the wheel, just spice it up a little bit.

http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/spi/

ESPN attempts to determine who the best teams are at the international level.

England at number three is a joke, as per usual. Not that England isn’t overwhelming with talent, but their chief center halves (Terry, Ferdinand) are either out of form or in decline (Terry being overrated to begin with), they still have a Lampard/Gerrard problem (that isn’t going away, even with Fabio Capello), and other than Rooney, they don’t have a legit striker. Argentina, even with ridiculous Maradona as the manager, should be third. They ooze class at every single position.

And the fact that the United States is 14th is outrageous.

Some other guy

I’m having the same trouble with fantasy running backs. Steve Slaton has been a huge disappointment. I picked up Ladell Betts for a quick fill this week. Also, Darren McFadden is coming back this week. Someone actually released him in my 12 man league. Not that he has been anything other than a buster this season, but I keep thinking he is going to turn it on one day.
