Smallville417 — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:57:25 GMT

I'm sure I am adding to their increased ratings. I still haven't nailed down who is the biggest douche, but surprisingly Bill O' Reilly is not at the top of my current leaderboard. Glenn Beck is the favorite as of now. Currently watching Hannity try to get back into the fight.

superpro — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:49:27 GMT

There is a movie I watched as child that I think my little 1 would love. The problem is I cant remember any of the actors or the name of the movie. Im going to try and provide a description of a movie haven't seen in 20 or so years lol
Ok there was a group of kids who fought a sh*tton of monsters. I mean this movie had werewolves, Dracula, mummies, Frankenstein etc. Does this ring a bell to anyone?

What are you currently listening to?

NOBODY SLEEPS...

WOLFEN — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:28:30 GMT

Originally posted by cpg member, Slym2none...

One theory is that acid wastes in the blood accumulate and depress the brain so much that it wants to lie down at the mouth of a cave on a high, hard ledge shelving over nothing. It wants to think of nothing, be nothing, and wake up empty with sleep in its eyes. Another is that during waking the brain uses up oxygen faster than the body can replace and is so starved by the end of the day it seeks a bed of branching in order to lay its head on laurel green. And a third says that because the afferent impulses of the neurons are contractile with the dendritic process of the cells that any interruption over time isolates the cortex from external stimuli and as interruptions peak in sync with dark the brain wants to lie all night by fire. The theory of amnesia, involving the loss of tone in the vascular heart of the medulla is too particular, especially since, except in fits and starts, nobody sleeps- though there are children who sleep through anything, even memory and waking, and adults who work the nightshift or the streets who only pretend by closing their eyes, even in daylight. But the vertical brain wants to lie down, beside water if it can or under wind topping the tall pale grasses. It wants to alter its relation to the bed to give up gravity to the ground, to let the mind float out in spirit-bouyant air, to feel, at the foliate edge, the mind relieved. And because it cannot sleep it wants to dream the sexual narrative of longing and connection, the journey of the body in light continually dying, the cold wet morning air silvering down on the night earth warming toward the sun, and then to hear the first bell-clarity of song, which, if you were dreaming, would wake you. - by Stanley Plumly

Comic Book Message Boards Fantasy Football

Lookwhoitis — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:11:28 GMT

Hey folks.

It is fantasy football time again.

Due to the difficulty of filling a league on these boards for the past two seasons, I opened up one on the CGC Boards. But there are three different leagues there, so we could use some more players.

Anyone from previous CPG seasons are invited to participate again, and we do have the Universal Soldiers participating who won the championship the last two years.

League is Free and on nfl.com (Private league called Comics and Football)

Any boards member is welcome to join, please pm me for password

Good luck!

Storing comics in garage loft...

jbprince — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:51:36 GMT

I recently finished building a good sized loft in my garage... one section is roughly 8' x 10' and the other is 4' x 6'... I have about 4.5' of headroom when I get up there...
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/jbprince/GaragewithLoft.jpg[/IMG]

I moved one of my Gorilla shelving units up there this weekend, which can hold about 30 long or short boxes when made into 2 3-shelf units... my garage was unfinished but Im almost done insulating it... dont plan to put up sheetrock or OSB walls anytime soon... eventually...

I have only moved comics that I plan to sell or get rid of into the garage so far but Ill probably move ones that I still need to read there too so I can empty my bonus room and turn it into an official entertainment room... my keeper comics are in files cabinets in the bonus room... underneath the smaller section of the loft is a 5-drawer lateral file cabinet housing more 'to sell' comics...

my question is what to do to avoid pest problems really... I dont think the comics will stay there long enough to have any long term damage from just being in the garage and the insulating will make a huge difference... the garage is not heated or cooled...

should I cover them with plastic or a blanket or something... maybe spray around the area... the only real bug problems I have in the garage is spiders and flying insects... never seen any silverfish...

comments? suggestions?... Ill post real pictures when I finish cleaning out the garage itself...

This dick should have died in a Scottish prison. I know it says we are better than him but I'm sure he's not worried about how we look or how we feel. How about compassion for the realtives. If the idiot that let him go is so concerned about compassion he should have asked the families what they would have liked to be done to this scumbag.

WAR D@MN EAGLE!!!!!

superpro — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 20:45:20 GMT

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bitahes my favorite time of year has came.

Auburn Fight Song and Creed

WAR EAGLE (FIGHT SONG)

War...Eagle, fly down the field, Ever to conquer, never to yield.
War...Eagle fearless and true. Fight on, you orange and blue.
Go! Go! Go!
On to vic'try, strike up the band,
Give 'em hell, give 'em hell.
Stand up and yell, Hey! War...Eagle, win for Auburn,
Power of Dixie Land!

Listen to the Auburn University Marching Band play War Eagle!

THE AUBURN CREED

I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.

I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.

I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.

I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports to develop these qualities.

I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all.

I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all.

I believe in my Country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by "doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God."

And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it. - George Petrie

The evil of NHS???

imatonkatoo — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 17:00:59 GMT

What do you American fellows really believe about our British NHS? I wont and can't believe that you really believe it is evil and communistic from our British news. Oh and if you do, Stephen Hawkins is British. Heard something on the news that in America the anti Obama clan were saying that if Hawkins was British he would have been dead by now. The NHS in my view is one of the best things that have ever happened or been in this country. I know for a fact that if I break my leg this minute I will be treated straight away without fuss and without having to show any paperwork. The one thing I do not agree with is the NHS should be used for is sex changes and boob jobs as that is a choice the individual can make. It is not something the tax payer should pay for. Not too sure but if you came to my little country and broke your leg as a foreigner you would be treated just as good as I would be. Do I resent this as a taxpayer to this country? Do I nuts. I myself could not stand by and let anyone suffer in front of me. If the whole world had the NHS then we would all be in good hands. Over here we have heard negative things about the NHS, but me and mine have never witnessed anything negative about the NHS. My daughter had open heart surgery at Leicester Glenfield Hospital on the NHS, 4 years ago and that hospital is a world class hospital in my opinion. Within two weeks on knowing my little Sadie needed open heart surgery it was done. Everything went as planned all the support the parents need along with the patient. We stayed in the hospital for a week with a room for me and the wife for the whole week or for as long as we needed.

DropShippers- ClickIncome.com-help......

Gilight — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:10:41 GMT

I signed up for "Click Income" years ago but never did anything with the account- although I have been paying for a merchant account contract that I foolishly signed up for. I called the company today and now they no longer have a drop shipper company that they are working with. Any suggestions ? I might as well keep the website and merchant account (which is what now clickincome.com exclusively does) for my new local business (capitolconcierge.biz -unfinished site) since I already paid for it.

Any advice on who I could use for a free dropshipper? Anyone else have this similar situation ?
If this makes no sense to you- join the club- I NEVER get taken on anything- but clickincome.com got me :dontknow:

I am trying to make something good out of this mess :(

Cory Aquino Dies

Earl Davis — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 01:12:17 GMT

Former Philippine leader Corazon Aquino, Asia's first female president, has died at the age of 76.

She had been suffering from colon cancer for more than a year and recently refused further treatment.

Her family had said she was leaving her fate to God, prompting church services offering prayers for her health.

National mourning has been declared for Mrs Aquino who became president when the 1986 "people power" uprising deposed dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

This is just wrong..just wrong....

Looks like I need to find a new team- It truly breaks my heart to say after so many years of season tickets, loyalty, etc-

any suggestions? (no Cowboys or Jets)
