    - I wouldn't say suck, I like some of it, but over-hyped would certainly work for me. -- nm - Stephen Sep 24, 11:53 6

  - Nevermind, In Utero, Kurt Cobain Sings the Best of Burt Bacharach, cliff -- nm - Alternate Reality TFox Sep 24, 11:47

    - Yeah, I saw that quote last night but couldn't source it. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 11:46
- totally true -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 11:39

    - I HIGHLY recommend African Cichlids. - groiny Sep 24, 11:42
    - i'd LOVE a salt water tank, but they aren't cheap and one little mistake can kill all your fish. the guilt would kill me. -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 11:41

The number of the beast will be 2012, and all who have tolerated it will be judged then damned. -- nm - David Sep 24, 11:32 8
- LIR: You won't catch me telling STers to stay away from 2012. Just see it high or loaded and all will be fine. -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 11:34
- Indeed. I don't mind mindless popcorn movies. I do mind boring ones that take glee in killing old people. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 24, 11:33 6
  - Spoilers! -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 11:35
