  1. rewatched this last night. so fucking good. if you're even remotely interested in Colombia history, the wars, the drugs, or esp. the football(soccer), then this is highly recommended. damn the fans are so fucking crazy at nacional. Even if youre not into any of that shit, still watch it. it's fucking crazy and depressing at the same time. the story isn't just told to you, but youre presented facts, testimonials from both good side/bad side and it tells the colombian story. the way everything was narrated was really good. random fact: andres escobar died on july 2nd, the same day 16 years later melo scored his own goal and then ended his country with the red card. after watching this, i will be praying for melo.
  2. dude ranch is not sealed. dont think they were received as 'sealed' but i assure you it's in perfect/almost perfect condition since i only played the 180g one. im waiting on deja. someone was supposed to pay me by last wednesday but havent heard from him.
  3. the past couple seasons have been so weak. there would be a couple funny episodes or just segments of hilarity and then the rest jsut flops. not sure what happened, it just seems to be getting stale. i hope the show ends on a positive note though
  4. is the bidding like ebay where you bid your highest or whatever and it'll automatically increase when someone else bids? or is it more like whatever you bid will show up cheers
  5. if you want some sports documentaries, i'd recommend espn's 30 for 30 series. some of them are a little slow, but there are some crazy ones that i highly recommend. ones i'd love in order: TWO ESCOBARS - newest one. this one is fucking crazy. recommend to everyone. especially if you're into soccer. June 17, 1994 - About OJ Simpson and how his trial affected America and sports as we speak today Run Ricky Run - Ricky Williams, misunderstood star running back, quit football for weed or did he? the U - University of Miami football team without bias - about len bias. probably the best basketball player to not play in the pros. past away 2 days after he got into the NBA there are so many good ones, but i'd reccommend my 3 favorite: oj simpson, run ricky run, and two escobars
  6. well i was kinda agreeing with you to sort of an extent. the 2 games thing was just an example. obviously as a team you want to go for wins, but playing for ties can be either smart/dumb given your standings and schedule. you were basically saying it sucks that the games were on at the same time. doesn't make sense are far as ratings goes. and that other dude replied, "so two teams don't have the advantage over the other two by knowing exactly what they need. it makes sense. ". and you said it was bullshit since teams shouldn't play for ties or whatever, but instead play their hardest. which makes sense, but go over what you just posted in that final paragraph. why do you think most teams do the variation of the 4-4-2 formation with only 2 strikers up front? And why is ManU so dominant with the 4-2-3-1 formation? because it's all about the counters that they perfected. you cant have all your midfielders attacking just cuz the ball is in the opposing side. one mistake and you're going to be sprinting back to try to stop the opposition. it's about key players, movement off the ball and knowing your role. it's hard to score goals in soccer and it's not like the other sports. which is why tie's are so important. if you only need to play for a tie, it's ideal to take out one of your wingers to put in a defensive midfielder. back to back counters is not rare in soccer and that is why when you see your team winning and a player is having a breakthrough, you only see like 2 men vs 8 so the quick counter doesn't reverse. and your last paragraph is the reason why games are played at the same time. yes games are not supposed to be played for ties or whatever, but ideally if you have the points, it's the safest way to advance/win (even though you tie). think of it like taking a knee to run the clock. obviously it's not the same since in football you use your downs to run the clock for the W whereas in futbol, you're running the clock by just passing it around so you don't lose possession. just realize, just cuz you're not attacking does not mean youre not trying to win. http://newsfeed.time.com/2010/06/22/world-cup-why-are-todays-games-at-the-same-time/ the link basically is about your 2nd paragraph. teams not really playing and going for a tie since they knew both would advance. but it makes you realize games playing at the same time is ideal cuz of this exact reason...
  7. i can understand what the last poster is trying to say, but at the same time, you have to realize that this is the world cup. players from all over the world compete for their nation once every 4 years. and to start means you are at the top of your game, ready for your country. But what most people don't realize is that there's so much more going on behind the curtains. you have to play your best not only for your country, but for yourself. everybody is watching the world cup. when S.korea hosted 2002 and hit 4th place, over 40 korean players moved to overseas clubs. underrated players get recognized more than ever at this stage. not to mention players get bonus' and etc for advancing. my point: every game is a huge fucking deal. even though you want your team to win every game, you have to look at the big picture. for example, if you already won your first 2 games, it's ideal to bench some of your stars so they don't get caught up in injury or add yellow cards to have them suspended. why put yourself in that position? when argentina played their final game, they went through like 8 changes or some shit like that to their starting squad cuz they knew, they were already through. as for playing the games at the same times, that's the only fair way to get it done so teams try their best. i'll use todays games as an example. what if the swiss vs honduras game was on first and then the spain vs chile game was on later. since the Switzerland tied, they ended up with 4 points. and that puts spain in a must win position and as for chile, they auto advance with those 6 points. it doesn't matter for them, they don't need to sweat or TRY or even worry about it. HOWEVER, if they played at the same time like they did today, chile NEEDS to show up to play since they don't know how the swiss will do. if swiss beats honduras, they'd have 6 points along with the other countries and Chile would need goals for better goal differentials (which they DID score). by having the games on at the same time no team is advantaged by having the bonus of knowing what to do to qualify sorry for writing a fucking book, i hope that makes sense if not look up algeria, germany, chile, austria world cup.
  8. also gonna be selling poster/prints and anything else i could find. will try to borrow a camera to take pics and everything also selling tickets to go see rocky votolato on his living room tour.more info on his site. i think tickets were limited to like 30 people so it's like an intimate thing. i have 1 ticket to Huntington Beach show and a pair of tickets in LA. i could send you all the info and have them transferred in your name.

  11. hahahahahahahah fuck this asshat. i remember when those bad religion, rancid, and nofx records came out at hot topic he was flipping all those records. he was claiming not to flip anything and got caught redhanded. i had to drive 50+ miles all over orange county from irvine to brea to cerritos just to get that nofx record. and when i called before hand to verify they had it and refused to give me a copy cuz some guy named 'mike' claimed all of them, i was fucking pissed since this happened at multiple hot topics. EVEN though i called in and asked them to hold one for me. bullshit. but whatever, got my green copy im over it now.
  12. it seems like they're filling in the orders for the canceled ones. if anyone with a double is willing to sell their copy pm me. it's not sold out, but i figured we could help each other????
  13. i saw brand new at that tour. i bought a litho before the show and asked the merch guy if he was willing to hold it til after the show. i was willing to leave my ID cuz i really didnt want to hold onto it while BN played. i told him i'd tip him 5 bucks. he basically told me he woudln't do it unless it was a 20 and was being a complete dick about it. just straight up talking about me to the MO merch guy. i was like wtf? so i went 2 tables over and said the same thing to kevin devine's merch guy and that guy was uber nice about it. i ended up buying 30 bucks worth of KD stuff and tipped him just cuz he wasn't a douchebag like the dudes behind the BN table...
  14. haha i had to retype the email instead of copy/paste cuz it was in a weird format. there were also some filler emails that i didn't post like we just talked about weed or me talkin shit on lebron. but yeah, i was gonna say shipping somewhere other than his driver's license IS sketch!!! pretty good advice. i was gonna send tracking, but i'll also add insurance. its only an extra buck i think ship to scott and have the dude pay cash the amount how much it'd cost in fees and scott can paypal you the amount - fees as a gift, so scott can keep the fee amount for his trouble? haha i'd be down for that. that way no need to go through the paranoia!! unless scott steals my piece!!!!
  15. I was under the impression most scams were people either stealing paypal accounts so that the scammer pays for something under someone else's account (which is why i had him verify his ID) and once paypal finds out, they take the funds out of your account. OR basically doing a paypal claim to get the money back? is there something i'm missing?
  16. I figured I'd ask around here since most people here are familiar with scams and paypals. Basically I'm trying to sell shit on craigslist, posted a Hookah RooR. It's pretty rare, but some dude emailed me saying he'd paypal me $$ + shipping for the piece and obviously i told him NO because of all the scams and shit. I've gotten way too many emails with dudes from nigeria to know not to ship anything out. He seems like a genuine legit dude. I'll post our convo, but i'm curious is there a way this dude can scam me? (the one in caps is me) Would you be willing to ship it if i paid via paypal? NO SORRY TOO MANY SCAMS If you research paypal's buyer/seller protection it isn't a scam. It essentially works the same way ebay does. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/securitycenter/sell/SellerProtection-outside If you don't have a paypal account, it only takes minutes to set up and saves us the trouble of having to meet. I would be willing to pay shipping on to of the $325. Let me know what you think SHIPPING TO WHERE? I'D BE WILLING IF YOU PROVIDE PHOTO ID AND IM SHIPPING TO THE ADDRESS ON THE LICENSE Cleveland, Ohio. My shipping address is different from my home address because i'm in school IF YOU HAVE SOME WAY TO VERIFY IT'S YOU AND IT'S YOUR ACCOUNT BUT YOU SEE WHY I'M HESITANT BECAUSE OF ALL THE SCAMS ON CRAIGSLIST I have an idea. If you have video chat I can show you my ID and my face. How about it? HMMM MAYBE. I MAY BE WILLING TO TRY THAT Attached is a picture of me and my ID. I hope that is satisfactory. My paypal is also verified, so its linked to my bank account. I can't really scam you. Let me know when you want to complete this transaction.... he sent the pic and id. everything seemed legit. he also sent me his ebay ID (if it is him) he had good feedback. i told him if he could send it as a Gift so that i wouldn't get tackled with paypal fees. He said, "I can't send you money as a gift, because that would abolish the buyer protection. I will however give you a bit more so it comes out 370 on your end. Maybe like 380. Does that sound good?" I mean the original price was 350 and he went out of his way to pay MORE.... which was a red alert. if it weren't for that, i'd go through with it. what do you guys think? Obviously, it's smart on his part not to sent as a gift, but if i have delivery confirmation (just in case he makes a paypal claim) is there a way that i can get scammed?????
  17. that reminds me of this http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=2417352467&ref=ts hahaha can't believe people are still in this group.....
  18. Check it out hamster dick, I didnt buy any at Irvine or Cerritos. Let me remind you of how many NOFX fans there are out there especially in Southern California (if you were at their show at musink last week then you would know) ALSO let me remind you of how common the name Mike is...I've traded some for Spits records as I've said before oh, and an ice cream (peach, which was really good to boot!) If you want a copy I'll gladly sell you one for what I paid for them $14.99 so quit being a crybaby. I call bullshit. Don't try to justify your shitty motives by trying to sell me one at cost. You probably have over 10 copies by now. And don't give me that bullshit where you're saying you're just "trading" them. You bought every single copy at multiple orange county stores. you're flipping them. You couldn't even leave 1? You had to take all the copies? faggot piece of shit. I'd rather pay a couple extra bucks somewhere else so that I don't see your face.
  19. haha Dude relax, Im just fucking around. I seriously couldnt care less what people do with their records, especially ones they get from HT. I want HT to sell as many records as possible, I dont care who buys them. I was just saying I dont think the high ebay prices for these will last forever. Sorry I thought the overstatement of "trying to put every copy on hold in So Cal" would show I wasnt being serious. rottentone if you are mike, you're a douchebag. I had to go through such a hassle to try to get a NOFX record and failed countless times. I called around yesterday (hopefully didn't annoy too many employees) and these are the ones i know for a fact you bought, there's probably more....: all 5 copies at the block, 4 copies at brea, all copies in cerritos, when i called irvine, i was put 7th in line and i asked is there a 'mike' on the list and she said yep he wanted multiple copies. so don't say you're not flipping them, you obviously are asshole. so fuck you.
  20. someone create a champions league thread! ManU is my team, but I'm looking forward to tomorrow's games INTER>CHELSEA tomorrow!
  21. whats the rates for shipping to canada from US? and shipping from canada to US? I can assume maybe like 2-3 bucks more, but am i wrong here?
