Ellington was clutch for the Heels that game! I was glad to see that OT win, helps me think this year's team won't collapse when they have trouble putting a team away, like last year's team did in the NCAA tourney against Georgetown.

Lol. At this point, I can't tell if this thread is either: A) People secretly making fun of Yukon Trooper by ignoring him, or B) A great way of finding out which people are too lazy to read more than just the thread title.

Juggling several games... Portal (cleared all normal and advanced maps, not sure if I want to do the trial versions of them), Super Mario Galaxy, and Arcana Heart (imported 2D fighter). Kinda Metroid Prime 3, but I got stuck at an early boss and put it on long-term hold, so yeah... And after...

I had a Dan Wright-modded MSB Link DAC III many years ago. It sounded quite good... somewhat warm, definitely musical, reasonably good on details. I tried an Art DI/O DAC w/ upgraded PSU (no improvement, sterile tonality), ARC CD3 (a step above, but didn't like overall tonality), and an Arcam...

Mmm, I think I'm in the mood for Mongolian BBQ for lunch! That said, right now I'm having one glazed donut and one maple-frosted donut from Dunkin' Donuts.

Had a chance to listen to this yesterday, and I'm very impressed. I would certainly recommend this for use as a reference CD, and it has many engaging tracks. My only caveat is you'll need at least one additional reference if you are a fan of music that focuses on the following: male vocals...

- Psycho (original) - Halloween (original) - House on Haunted Hill - Rosemary's Baby - Nosferatu

I'm not surprised about the Orpheus mention, but I am surprised I'm the first to mention Bacchus/Dionysus (god of wine)!

I also read about this on the StereoMojo website, so I'm going to see if it lives up to the hype and can beat my current references.

Cookie Dough ice cream is indeed great! Neopolitan is also good. My personal favorite, though, goes to Goodberry's banana frozen custard!

Pardon the potentially silly question, but as I recently started watching UFC as of three or four months ago, can somebody explain to me why the 10-point scoring system is used? I've never seen a round score be worse then 10-8, and that would be for a really lop-sided round. So why have all the...

Being the best in my state at Soul Calibur 2, based on tournament placings. There's one guy better than me at Soul Calibur 3, so I can't make that claim for it.

Ugh, I can't stand Drew Carey, seems really unfunny and a little obnoxious to me. He's the entire reason I could never sit through an entire episode of the American version of "Who's Line Is It Anyway?", and that's considering the British version is my favorite comedy show ever. Obviously...

I always place pick-up online orders with Papa Johns (when I order from them at all... usually order from a local non-chain place which is excellent), it's turned out very consistent. I can't imagine 90 minute waits, unless you order on Super Bowl Sunday or something. The rare times I do...

I was really disappointed in the finale. Many things seemed forgotten or thrown in at random (what happened with the security audit guy, Chloe pregnant out of nowhere, Wayne's status, severe lack of action (though at least Josh finally got some guts), etc...). Jack's speeches at the very end...

I generally don't care for techno, but the few exceptions usually are either trance or have strong trance elements.

Either soft drink or soda is acceptable, preferably soft drink. I would give anybody strange looks if I heard "pop" or "coke" (used generically).

My favorites are Little Earthquakes and From the Choirgirl Hotel. Which I like the most depends on if I'm in the mood for something a little softer (Little Earthquakes) or a little more aggressive (From the Choirgirl Hotel). Incidentally, these respective albums also have my two favorite songs...
