its also the reason we're a country and not a British territory... you can't forget that part. Organized rebellion against SOLDIERS > one crazy dude with a pilot's license targeting civilians

My vote goes to:

I'm worst poster? I never even knew there was a competition (or if there was, I honestly don't remember it). Haters gonna hate. Haha, found 'em: Worst "Top" Poster = http://vinylcollective.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38393 Worst Mod = http://vinylcollective.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38353 My favorite is the part where drabley asks "what's wrong with you people?" in regard to making threads about VC's "worst posters."

I'm ousting that regime. Consider this a coup d'état. Please don't crash a plane into my laptop to prove your point.

I'm with most everyone else on this. Off yourself; leave everyone else out of it.

Scott (worst poster) & Jeff (worst moderator) already won the previous polls. You're simply playing for bronze.

Best. GIF. Ever.

I've never really considered selling mine, but I have the clear "Bloodclot" 7" if you want to make an offer. I'd be down for a trade or whatever too.

Last call. Make on offer if you want this stuff. Otherwise I'm just going to get rid of it.

Solution:

I'm a huge fan of Cap'n Crunch, but I rarely eat because it's made of absolute shit. And it cuts your mouth. (I do, however, recommend Cap'n Crunch french toast. It's awesome. It's basically just french toast with Cap'n Crunch mixed into it.) Anyway, I'll go with: 1. Crispix 2. Puffins 3. Life

My bad with the Saves record. I think I glanced right over Rivera's name when I was looking at the all-time leaders. Rivera will more than likely overtake Hoffman before his career's over, at which point RIVERA'S record will stand for awhile. And back to Wins/Losses/CG/SHO/3B/etc.: those records will, in all likelihood, NEVER be broken. In fact, they'll never even be approached. It's not fun to talk about records that have a virtually 0% chance of ever being challenged. That's not to say I'm completely discounting what guys like Cy Young did; it's just his career started in the 1890s and so much changed in baseball just 20 years from then, let alone 120 years from then. Including him in the discussion might as well include Duffy's .440 BA -- Young racked up over half of his career wins before 1900. 3B are the same way... smaller ballparks have greatly hindered a player's propensity to hit them, which is why a lot of people see 3B as being the most exciting play in baseball. The SHO record should get more respect, and that's my fault. It'll never be touched, and, to me, it's a much more impressive record than Wins or CG, for example. The SB records could be challenged as, like you said, the game tends to ebb and flow in terms of its value on speed. However, I think the days of a 130 SB season are long behind us. With all the statistics available today, it just doesn't seem like managers are going to let someone run all that often. SB aren't thought to have a positive value unless the guy stealing the bases is successful over 85% of the time (I forget the exact number; my books are in boxes since I'm moving). Even during Henderson's record setting year, he was below that number (76%; his career mark is around 81%). I don't think managers will give the green light as often, seeing as how running into outs have a profound impact on a team's run scoring ability. Teams seem to be more selective when calling for a SB.

Alienware's overkill. Buy a different laptop and spend the extra money you'll save on other shit. Most laptop's have decent GFX these days (or can, with an upgrade). And like most people said, WoW isn't too graphics-intensive.

Fingerprints in Long Beach has a good selection. Bionic Records in Cypress ain't what it used to be, but it's close to Anaheim.

Those Chuck records from a few posts up are now officially gone.

I wouldn't consider Don Larsen's perfect game some sort of untouchable record. Sure, it can't be broken. But it'll probably be matched one day, which is the same difference. And I think you can throw out a lot of the older records. Cy Young's 511 wins will never be broken; but then again, it's because the game's changed to the point where pitchers aren't starting 50+ games per year. (He also has the all-time record for losses. Just shows how many decisions old-time pitchers got before bullpens, etc.) Same deal with CG, SHO, 3B, etc. Looking at purely modern records, I'd go with (in no order): - Henderson's single season/all-time SB records - Bonds' single season BB record (232 is just absurd) - Williams' career .482 OBP - Ryan's 5,714 career SO - Hoffman's 591+ career SV (maybe not "untouchable," but it'll be a LONG time before anyone comes close) - Ichiro's 225 1B in a single season (225 hits is a lot for anyone; 225 1B is even crazier) - Ruth's single season 119 XBH There's a bunch more that'll be tough as all hell to break too (anything with BA; Rose's hits record; Wilson's RBI record; single season SO; etc.).

I think Vander Meer's back-to-back no hitters is the most untouchable. You'd need to pitch THREE to break it, which ain't happening.

Incorrect.

Except they usually play about the same or better in the 2nd half -- look at the splits. The problem with the Cubs isn't collapsing, a la the Mets; the problem with the Cubs is that they have huge expectations every year (sometimes fairly, sometimes not) that they never live up to. They have a huge payroll in a fairly weak division and it never pays off. They're usually much better "on paper" than they are on the field.

Avril Lavigne's "Nobody's Fool" was in "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde." Blew my fucking mind.

I'd shrink the height on the individual show listings so you can see more on the page (especially on a laptop). Maybe do a color-coded bar (diff. color for when shows were posted, or color-coded by state) with the date, venue, and headliner. When you click on it, it expands downward with more info (time, price, address, supporting acts, etc.).
