time to take precautions

I'm going to have to find a copy of Yojimbo. The samurai inspiration for High Plains Drifter.

IMO tri (or any other relatively-low-$-return sport) is a stupid way to make a living. Double that if ya have to sacrifice your future health in order to eat.

God this thread is great.

So what's your point? High percentages make it okay?

those crazy Romanians

Dru is really mattp's avatar. Notice how they happened not to run into each other at Ropeup...coincidence? I think not.

also Where Eagles Dare great Japanese flicks (all Kurasawa/Mifune) Yojimbo Seven Samurai High & Low

Sisu, I am not a post-WWII scholar, bu I believe that Jews wanted their own nation. Let's not 'enable' Isael's unacceptable colonizing effort by casting them as victims. Especially when the rest of the western world is affected by their actions, and we give them the tremendous aid $ that we do.

oh come now catbird. Who??

and may I say that men should not

at some point this thread must intersect with the concurrent "what's your real name thread"
