Time Warner gave me a window of 4-6 today. CTTP wins my fortune from lunch. -- nm - nubby Aug 2, 14:11 2

  - Yup. I tried watching it but I guess the way it's scored causes it to be much more boring than regular boxing. - Krusty Aug 2, 14:09 1
    - What is aggravating is the scoring system I begged for back when Olympic boxing was so fixed. - David Aug 2, 14:11

    - They had a 20% discount so I gave them a try. They're still newish here. We've only had them for, I'm guessing, three years or so. - Krusty Aug 2, 13:59

        He's a nice guy who pitches drunk. I presume a lot of the inconsistency stems from that. -- nm - David Aug 2, 13:55 1

NMB Ty - JenBro Aug 2, 13:30
The Game is not only one of the best movies of the 90s but also arguably the most original movie concept of the era. - David Aug 2, 13:29 21
- I really REALLY liked the actress in the film - just saw her in something else recently and was impressed again. -- nm - JenBro Aug 2, 13:58
