  1. Sounds like a knish, which is a big thing in these parts, and hardly available outside of the city.

    I know a couple of places that will slice one of these lovelies in half, fry the halves, and then put a hot dog on them. It's fucking perfection.

  2. Death Wish IV is just blinding - such a totally, awesomely awful film. I like to pretend that there is no Death Wish V, however.

     

    Winner was a blindingly club-handed director, but he really turned out a lot of shitey, unsubtle movies that I happen to adore. Him and Charles Bronson is one of my favorite one-two punches in cinema.

  3. Direct TV is dropping 26 Viacom channels, including Spike TV as of tonight. That means 20 million homes won't have access to TNA. That's not good. The rating this week will be interesting.

     

     

    [nerd]Technically the rating should be unaffected as it's based on how many homes have access to a channel. Of course, the raw number of viewers would likely be down.[/nerd]

     

    That'll have an impact.

    Unless this is a different case, this kind of shite goes on weekly in the US - it's brinksmanship from both networks and distributors, to force a compromise. No way that Direct TV is going forward for long without MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon, so I wouldn't be too concerned.

  5. The Batista Bomb, I'd imagine, is named after Batista. The People's Elbow is named after Rock's catchphrase of 'the People' s champ'. Is Jeff Hardy doing a swan gimmick these days? Your examples aren't related.

     

    That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard anyone say.

     

    They used to call it the Senton Bomb which was what I thought a back splash was. I think the answer must be, like someone said, that it's a shortening of swan-dive Senton.

     

    That isn't one of the stupidest things I've ever heard anyone say.

  6.  

    There was a mix of that track and Nas - Made you look that was doing the rounds a little while back. Here it is.

     

     

    Is this someone you know's music, or just something you stumbled upon? Either way, it's pretty nice.

     

    Obviously, in the grand scheme, Wale got nothin' on Nas, and "Made U Look" smokes the original "Chain Music", but I think that the awesomeness of Hood Internet's work edges their mix ahead.

     

    I hadn't heard of Weird Tapes, but Hood Internet have a mix on Mixtape 6 that blends it with Santigold and the Beasties.

  7. So how do you get the code to post within the img tags the easy way then? Please forgive my computer illiteracy.

     

    Right click on the image, and select "Copy Image Location" (probably browser specific, this is info for Firefox). Paste it between the image takes, and make sure that it ends in an image suffix (.jpg, .gif, maybe .png, probably nothing else). If it doesn't, you might be able to shorten it down to end in an image suffix - if not, that's when I normally save to desktop, and imagesocket it.

  8. What's the easiest way to post pictures that allready exist on the internet? I think I'm doing it all the sucker way.

     

    What do you mean, not just putting the image url in "" tags?

     

    I usually go to the length of saving the pictures to my computer, then uploading them to a photo hosting site to get the ready made img tags. This is surely un necessary over-kill?

     

    Yeah, that's massive overkill. The only time I really do that is for sigs and avatars, and when I can't drill down dynamic image links to a image type suffix - if it don't take too long, though, at least a Richie link is forever.
