  1. USA will obviously make it to either the round of 16 or the round of 8 before losing horribly to a country we really can't compete with.
  2. I guess her name is Nickel, cause she's got a buffalo head
  3. I was hoping France would miss, for karma's sake after the Henry handball last time (I still wear an Ireland track jacket every time France plays, and I'm not even an Ireland fan). Oh well, clearly the better side won, can't just fluke into 3-0.
  4. Considering how many are locked, I'm going to bump this so it doesn't get lost on a later page. Yes, I'm aware that puts it at the back of the line. However, I'd rather the back of the line than risk not being in the line at all. You guys are on top of things, and it's only been two days (so I don't expect anything) but I've graded before and I know things can get lost when under a bunch of locked ones.
  5. I actually just ordered an FF game, but not the one you're thinking. I got an old copy of the "FF Chronicles" pairing for PS1 (I have one of the backwards compatible PS2s) which is FF4 and Chrono Trigger. Primarily wanted Chrono Trigger since I've played 4, but I like 4 well enough that I'll likely play it again as well. Also just got NHL14 so I might be on that for a while before I jump to the other.
  6. Etna isn't really a small town, as much as it's a small neighborhood that's officially part of a larger city (Pittsburgh) much like New Yorkers might say they are from the Bronx or Queens. Obviously, Pittsburgh is known for quite a bit. Etna specifically, not so much. Really the only semi-big thing is the Scarehouse. It's the 5th ranked haunted house in the country, and it's about a ten minute walk down the hill.
  7. Martin Brookside Goalie ALL the stats!
  8. Sponsorship? A relatively new chocolate company has signed a sponsorship deal with unproven, untested VHL prospect Martin Brookside. This sponsorship deal, rumored to be worth $500,000 per season, has many analysts wondering why anyone would sign Brookside to a deal at this stage in his career, even such a company as this. Why, some might ask, would a guy who hasn’t shown a great deal of dedication (despite coming from what was once a world-class agency) get signed to a deal? The answer, as it turns out, is pretty simple. The company’s name is Brookside. Newer to the market, Brookside Chocolates produce a healthy yet still delicious alternative to typical chocolate snacks, such as their Dark Chocolate Pomegranate and their Dark Chocolate Acai Blueberry. Bits of these fruits are embedded into the center of a small chocolate ball, giving the health benefits of fruit while also the taste of chocolate. This company signed Martin Brookside to a sponsorship deal because the marketing practically writes itself, since his last name is the same name as the company. Just one of the many flavors offered by the chocolatier The company was interviewed about the benefits and possible drawbacks to their agreement with the player. “Martin isn’t necessarily the next Daisuke Kanou, or anything like that. Well, he might be, but it’s still rather up in the air at this point. However, we’re no Hershey either. It seems to fit that an upstart company would align itself with an upstart player, and when the name lined up as perfectly as this did, it was a no-brainer. If he busts, and I mean truly busts, on the level of a VanCoughnett or perhaps even a Garcia Jr. then maybe we will have wasted our money. I think he’s still a pretty safe bet though, and if he can pull off something like a Joey Clarence, or even a Satan in his prime, he’ll be worth the relatively minor investment. Many larger companies sign players to deals like this worth several million dollars. Ours, on the other hand, was only half a million each season. Both sides also have to agree to renew the contract at the end of each season, with grounds for renegotiation if either side gains some leverage. It’s not like we’re really jumping out on a limb with this deal, even though Martin is unproven.” Brookside has manned the net this season for the VHLM's Oslo Storm What did the player think of the agreement? “It is a good day when I can make some money on the side because I will obviously be a team-first player with regards to contracts for myself and the Wranglers. That’s one of the hallmarks of the diamond_ace agency – you have to be willing to sign for the bracket minimum every year if it’s what is best for the team. In my case, as a goalie, we don’t really want to tie up all the money in just one position. If I can take less money and we sign a scorer, or a big hitting defenseman, then we’re better off. This deal lets me make back some of the losses. Besides, have you guys tried these things? They’re delicious, and I’m not just saying that because they’re paying me to say it!”
  9. Carolina with a big game tomorrow night against the Patsies. THIS IS FOR 2003.
  10. Hello, my name is Viet.
  11. Deal Weiss for someone cheaper, even if a similar age (ideally a little younger, but can stay the same if need be) Deal Alfredsson for someone younger, even if salary stays about the same and skill takes a slight hit (but not too big a hit)
  12. I run long distances because I am not, nor will I ever be, a baked potato.

  13. Just ordered NHL 14 online (this is the first time I've ever bought a sports game in its initial year of release, and I did it solely for this thread) diamondace121 THE GREAT AND POWERFUL PENS.
  14. The game tomorrow is making me sick to my stomach- I actually have to root for United...
  15. The only problem I have with this is that Kesler won't understand it's supposed to be poker, and will think I play one of those kids' games. The rest of the community here will understand the joke, and as such, I approve its use, other than with Kesler.
  16. I would much prefer Ibra makes it, although more importantly, ICELAND!
  17. We'd decided out of the first two applicants, but will have to bring the discussion back up now that there are two more.
  18. Oslo LR (was in Yukon, Ottawa, Kolari/Turku, Vasty Jr. on the old site, but don't need them as I'm not on the teams, unless they'd like me to be in there) Calgary powers, unless I have them already. I know I can access the LR but not sure what capability I have, or am supposed to have.
  19. Should have thrown it to knock Mexico out
  20. 20 cent coins?
  21. Not mod powers, but I need access to Oslo LR, as I am on Oslo.
  22. Oh, I misread it. If it's the most money, then it's $1.15 two ways. A: 1 quarter 9 dimes B: 3 quarters 4 dimes either would work
  23. Appreciate the subject matter, but not fond of the song
  24. Vasty needs a replacement
  25. $1.05 three quarters three dimes
