Re: why is "Kashmir" so goddamn awesome?

It is a competent recording. I was actually surprised how much of what you're hearing was guitar. I used to think it was just strings with very little to no guitar playing. Then DADGAD came in kicked me in the nuts, took a dump in the corner, and walked out of the room leaving me doubled over in pai...

Re: *POLL* Is “Memoirs Of A Cigarette Smoking Man” the best X-Files episode?

I really liked Folie A Deux. For the later Dogget (Robert Patrick) episodes I thought Via Negativa was a good one. That show got pretty ridiculous by the end with the Super-soldiers and Mulder going "missing" and having Scully & Mulder's stupid fucking kid that had some mysterious powe...

If that really is his wife then good job Matthias! That was a good video. I'm kind of surprised that Believe In Love didn't do bet...

They are usually the ones fighting. I've seen more women fight than men. It gets pretty violent sometimes too. Never snitch though.

Re: PULL A GUN ON A COP ... And you deserve to get smoked right there, no questions asked!

I've always believed if it turns out both the cops and the civilian have guns an agreement for a fastdraw should be reached at the earliest possible moment and then have it commence 15-20 minutes later so they both have time to practice some draws and get the crowd revved up.
