J! E! T! S! JETS! JETS! JETS!

Sorry, had to chime in here.

Anyway, FTS, do you watch Hard Knocks? I am gonna have to try and get HBO by the time the show airs, because Rex Ryan and my team was definitely MADE for that show.

I always feel like a better member of FromTheBack when I post in the Lounge. Check out my new thread on gym memberships and insurance in there

Man, I'm still freaking out about Swagger. : p

I met a traveling monk from Ohio today. He was pretty cool.

 

[Razor]

So. The traveling monk gave me two books by "His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada." Also, a CD entitled "The Library of Vedic Culture."

Ty Burna, you're up. Are the books "Bhagavad Gita (As It Is)" and "The Science of Self-Realization" legit, or am I going to be brainwashed into some Harekrishna cult?

 

[FromTheSouth]

Well, Theo, I enjoyed Mania. I hated the fucking crowd though. Bunch of dumbasses.

 

[Razor]

I have heard, FTS, that they only sounded dead because of the open air stadium. At least, I think that's how Shocky explained it.

 

[FromTheSouth]

I also railed against open air Wrestlemanias.

I have to go to class. Ty Burna, I expect your nuanced reply by the time I get back from Survey of English Literature from the Beginning to the 1700s.

Jesus like I check every thread from first post to last post. I missed this, let me check on it.

 

[Ty Burna]

Well A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is actually a pretty solid religious thinker and practitioner in the Hindu religion. He started the group that became Hare Krishna ironically enough. It seemed though that before hand it was a pretty straight up and down religious group, only after his death did it seem to crumble into the cult like reputation it has now.

The books would be interesting reads, he seems like he was genuine about spreading the Hindu faith around the world, only after his death the people that took over were a bunch of fucktwats. And yes I made that word up.

 

[Ty Burna]

And when I say the books would be an interesting read, I mean purely from a religious research aspect, not one to be taken as literal philosophical and religious changes in one's life.

 

[Razor]

Thank you Ty. I will most definitely read them then. I've been meaning to get into my "Reading Holy Books" phase, I suppose I can start with these.

 

[Mr. TM]

I just finished Measure for Measure. One of the more interesting things Shakespeare ever wrote and was labeled a comedy.

My Logic professor came in and said:

"Girls, if your boyfriends ever give you a month of picking everything you do, be suspicious. My boyfriend let me pick where we ate and what movie we watched for about 3 weeks...and he came to me and made me watch Wrestlemania with him last Sunday. I was horrified, but I was really sad for some man who lost his match and had to retire."

I lulzed.

I'm reading the book of basketball by Bill Simmons. Not quite as religious, but an experience just the same.

1. He earned the right to watch it.
2. He earned the right to make her watch it.
3. Your teacher also performed oral sex on him more than once during that time.

True and True.

Ewwww....professors don't have sex. Don't tell me otherwise.

how is the Book of Basketball? I am a big time Bill Simmons fan, but haven't wanted to read either of his books, because I'm a Yankees fan and I'm not a Basketball fan. Speaking of Bill Simmons, his Running Diary of Mania is on ESPN.com and is good stuff as usual.

The Book of Basketball is outstanding. You may walk in thinking you know basketball, you don't know shit before you read it. After you read it, you watch basketball with an entirely different mindset. It's crazy how different my basketball knowledge has changed.

Oh and the running diary is outstanding work.

So for someone like me, who doesn't really follow basketball, should I consider picking it up for more then just protection from a bullet (it can literally stop a bullet, they did it on TV)?

Either way, once LeBron comes to the Knicks I will have to pick it up, since I will become a basketball fan again. I was a Jordan fan who went to the Knicks after he retired in 98, and completely lost interest in Basketball since the Knicks suck major ass.

Oh and the running diary is outstanding work.

It's always fun to read about a once-a-year wrestling watcher watch wrestling, even if there were some mistakes (that his twitter said he corrected, but they weren't when I read it).

Bill Simmons is able to connect with readers on a level unheard of in years.

Membership review = Fucking shit terrible waste of my time.

Watching West Wing when I get back = Awesome

Going to a Warhammer 40k tournament this weekend = Great use of my time

 

[FromTheSouth]

Everyone should read this.

It's about to get it's own thread.

I'm going to dinner. I believe Burger King shall be on the menu tonight.
