Has to be Barkley...never thought Malone was all that special...he benefitted greatly from playing w/ the best true point guard of all-time and playing in a very friendly pick-and-roll heavy offense that played to his strengths. Barkley carried some pretty sorry Philadelphia teams and then played on perhaps the best team to never win a title, the 92-83 and 93-94 Phoenix Suns. Barkley was the only person to ever win the MVP over Jordan (92-93) that may have actually deserved the award. I always felt Malone won MVPs during the Jordan era simply because voters had Jordan fatigue when it came time to vote for the honor. Ewing would be a close second to Barkley...such a dominant big man and again, played on a few Knicks teams there in the early 90s that had it not been for Jordan, would have won a few titles themselves.

Clerks was such a big part of my formative years...that movie laid the groundwork for so much of the vernacular and such that my friends and I used ad nauseam back in the day. I hadn't seen the flick in quite a few years and caught it on showtime or something a while back and watched it. No surprise, I found myself finishing the dialogue along w/ the characters as the movie played...
"You HATE people!" "But I love gatherings."

So sad to wake up to this news today. Saw Static-X live on Pantera's last tour back in 2001. Extreme Steel w/ Pantera, Slayer, Static-X, Skrape and Morbid Angel. Never much of a fan, but they put on a great show, and a bunch of the Static-X guys joined Pantera on stage for 'This Love' during Pantera's set. I got to meet Wayne after the show and he was very obliging to sign autographs and chat w/ fans...hate to hear this news.

Two things, both grammar related;
When people unnecessarily pluralize the name of the grocery store 'Kroger'...why people feel the need to add an 's' for no reason at all. There is no 's' on the end of the word on the big sign in front of the store, why then do people feel it necessary to add it when they say the store name?!
Also, people pluralize the words backward or forward, i.e., "We are going backwards"...there is no such thing, it is either backward or forward, but again, for some reason, most people feel the need to tack on that extra 's'.

If you ever find yourself in southern West Virginia, try out a place called Pies and Pints, w/locations in Fayetteville and Charleston. There may be one coming or already in Morgantown...good stuff!

Two of my favorite candies are no longer available. For years, I've been waiting for the return of Crispy M & M's...heck, they sponsored WrestleMania XIV. Secondly, and if anyone remembers these, you'll know why I'm recognizing them are those Nestle Toll House candy bars. The last time I remember even being able to get them was 2003 or 04, they had two main types, chocolate chip cookie bars and brownie bars...muy, muy excellente!
As far as stuff readily available, for me it starts and stops w/ York Peppermint patties!

Right now the favorites for the playoff have to be Mississippi State, FSU, Alambama/Auburn and Oregon. I think Mississippi State could easily lose though, as they have to play both Alabama and Ole Miss. Alabama/Auburn will beat one another when they play, knocking one of the two of those out. I don't see FSU losing this year in the regular season and I would also anticipate Oregon having and open road. If any of those teams lose more than the requisite one game that it appears will take to get into the playoff, Notre Dame or TCU/Kansas State could be there to step in.

new foo fighters record is pretty awesome, new take on making music, band wrote and recorded in eight different cities. If you have spotify, they have three of the album's tracks already up to listen to, feast or famine is my favorite, congregation is also very good.

When people like FB status updates, that really shouldn't be liked. Such as " glad to be home, had an awful day at work". Someone likes it, and in my own state of neurotica, I never know if the person likes the fact I'm home, or the fact I had a bad day at the office!

A couple months ago, when Raw was in Montreal, someone in the first few rows had a sign that said "Believe in Delino DeShields". Delino DeShields was an all-star baseball player back in the early 90s for the then Montreal Expos. The sign played off his name, and of course The Shield. Not so much that it was funny as much as I thought probably less than 100 people watching would get the reference.

Mo just got my first flu shot in my life yesterday. Took me 33 years to muster up the intestinal fortitude, but crossed that off the bucket list!

I completely understand, I'll get my 50 posts in and go from there. With any luck, my feedback on other sites can lend me enough credibility to at Least warrant talking to.

Hey everyone! I am new to this site, have been looking all over for a site to buy/sell/trade WWE figures. I have done dozens of deals over the years over on the he-man.org site for Masters of the Universe stuff, but have had no luck with wrestling stuff on their trader forums. I just found this site today and can't seem to find anything on here either. Is there a buy/sell/trade thread on here, and if so, can anyone direct me to it. I have some items I am looking to sell, haven't been collecting very long, just a few years. Thanks in advance for any help!
