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

by 4QB on Nov 11, 2009 8:15 AM EST

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-
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.

3) I still think pokemon/yugioh is cool- IF you were in 1998, sure, but this is 2009 (GET A LIFE).

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:

Destroid:

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.

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.

by SRQman on Nov 11, 2009 11:47 AM EST up reply actions

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.
