Yeah it might be over tomorrow. Just like the Pacers (for the moment) they were just able to stop the sweep.

Three series could finish tonight. Ours would be less of a surprise than Memphis though :P

A-Rod rarely hits Home Runs to right - he's more of a puller and his shots go to left centre, centre and right centre field. That's how powerful he is. Players like Granderson have benefited from the shorter porch, but it's not something that A-Rod exploits routinely.

It seems Cano and Garnder also found the right porch tonight, though it seems to be a bad night for Soriano. Blown save.

Yeah, but for that one pitch, Nova would have earned a well deserved victory

If there's one thing I'd like to do at least for the week, it's reaching 5,000 icons. That's a great number of flashes I'll have updated for genres and new icons.

I hope that I'll have a chance to catch the awards presentation, but we'll see. I'm going to try and maximise my points on Saturday, being within easy reach of the cricket club and the power supply, so we'll see how points scoring goes.

Mind you, yesterday was a good day - 65 points, which ain't bad for me, to say the least.

65 B/P in a single day? And how much does the portal get these days?

You're lucky if we see 85 submissions in a day

I never heard of beer that is supposed for certain seasons, lol. I drink pils be it spring, summer, autumn or winter. >_>

Hmm. The Dutch article on bock beer cleary says it's a typical 'seasons beer' which is mostly sold during the autumn, and there's also a lighter one for the spring.

Yeah right. Try to tell the "typical german guy" when he can drink his beer and when he can't... :P

Pils is for all seasons though :p

YAY! :D

Why am I not surprised?

I don't know. But I am not surprised you don't find any labels saying "brewed in adherence to the Reinheitsgebot" on beer that has 20% or more... ^^

20%? Holy shit. Half a crate of those and you'll be smashed =/

I bought some for my friends. They told me it tastes like gnat's piss (I didn't driink any alcohol at that time so I don't know how awful it tasted, but I trust my friends on that ^^)

Those potheads should be taken to rehab. :P

Wow, a pothead rehab would be no fun place to work at. Most potheads tend to get very agressive if they don't get their "dose" of pot.

They'll have to deal with it.

Who, the potheads or the guys working at the rehab?

That explains why I haven't been able to ban you for homophobia.

First of all I never knew homophobia is a bannabale offence, second I am not a homophobe. So that's why you can't ban me. :P

If anyone was racist, we'd deal with them. Pretty much the same thing here. ;)

Wow, in my opinion there's a huge difference between "being racist" and "being homophobic"

You do know Rob Halford is gay, right?

What has Rob to do with it?

If you're insulting someone for being gay, you're pretty much insulting Halford. That's why using gay as an insult is one of the dumbest things to say.

So, if Rob wasn't gay it would be OK as an insult? I must admit I don't quite follow your logic here.

If I say "they look gay" that doesn't mean I'm a homophobic person, nor does it mean I insult any gay people.
But I have to admit that constantly bashing some group as "gay" can sound homophobic. After all you can only judge me by what I write, you know nothing else of me. Because if you would now me in person you'd realize that I'm far from being a racist or a homobhopic person and that I only have a weird sense of humor.
I try not to bash Manowar as being/looking gay in the future.
But you must promise me not to post any more pictures of them. :P

If it's worth the £16 I should get it. Otherwise, I dunno.

I can't think of any album that I would like to pay 16 Pounds for.

I've bought a few albums that were worth at least £16.

Which ones?

I wouldn't say so. Every traffic stop if they suspect something suspicious they can look in your car. If they suspect your house has tons of drugs in it, they can get a search warrant. It's not ultra aggressive but it's not like they are turning a blind eye to it.

Yeah, but if you have a little bit of weed on you, I suppose you won't have to fear for getting caught if you just smoke it in your backyard or some other private place.

Fry them up? Ugh, no! Most of them hardly have anything to eat on them anyway, unless you're keeping salmon or something as pets.

Or catfish. They look much better than salmon and I think salmon need lots of room to live.

Probably. Catfish are probably a better choice if you plan on eating them when they die. Don't know if they taste better though.

I've bought a few albums that were worth at least £16.

Helloween's Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy
Manilla Road's Mystification and Roadkill/Out of the Abyss
Running WIld's Death or Glory
Slough Feg's Down Among the Deadmen

Those right there are my most expensive CD purchases. All of them are great albums and worth the purchases.

I'd rather drink something that tastes good. We once had a "beer festival" on my birthday. We bought beer from all over the world (there's a special shop in Hamburg that sells all kind of beer). There where some really bad ones... especially Spitfire from the UK was awful. >_>

And my uncle and my mom (that's right, my mom is a lesbian).
But I don't think I insult gay people by calling Manowar "gay". Yes sure, I'm using "gay" as an insult, but in german common speech it's very usual to use the word "schwul" (="gay") as a degorative term, without connecting it to homosexuality or gay men in general.
I'm not trying to justify the use of the word gay as an insult, I'm just trying to explain why I used it in the first place. ;)

I never got into Helloween. Seven Keys is quite good, but they are just not my cup of tea.

Manilla Road's Mystification and Roadkill/Out of the Abyss

I heard of Manilla Road, but never listened to them.

Running WIld's Death or Glory

Heh, I never would pay that much for a Running Wild CD. I like their music, but as I've mentioned, they are basically just covering themselves since their first album.

Slough Feg's Down Among the Deadmen

Another band I haven't really checked out.

Those right there are my most expensive CD purchases. All of them are great albums and worth the purchases.

I payed more than 16 pounds for Iced Earth's Alive in Athens, but it's 3 CDs, so you propably won't get it for much less than 16 pounds.

I really shouldn't say who's going to be on Metal Monday but I suppose this one is quite obvious if they are not only highly underrated but I spent £25 to get one of their albums. However, I can easily say who WON'T be on Metal Monday:

Iron Maiden and Metallica

Helloween's Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy

I never got into Helloween. Seven Keys is quite good, but they are just not my cup of tea.

Keepers albums are their most popular albums so it doesn't surprise me if there are those who don't bother with their other albums. Shame, really since there's tons of great stuff from this band.

Manilla Road's Mystification and Roadkill/Out of the Abyss

I heard of Manilla Road, but never listened to them.

They're definitely one to check out. They don't have the most accessible sound production but once you can adapt to them, you're in for a treat. If you want to get into them the easy way, you should start with Crystal Logic since it has the cleanest sound production from them. Give Necropolis a listen and see what you think.

Running WIld's Death or Glory

Heh, I never would pay that much for a Running Wild CD. I like their music, but as I've mentioned, they are basically just covering themselves since their first album.

This album has Riding the Storm and The Battle of Waterloo. Those two were worth the £15 alone.

Slough Feg's Down Among the Deadmen

Another band I haven't really checked out.

Another band I highly recommend you check out. I think I showed you Warriors Dawn before but it didn't really click on for you.

I could get Alive in Athens for £10. I suppose I can't argue with that.

Well if you are smoking it in view of an officer then yeah, I'm sure they can come and arrest you. So if you have your blinds open and they see it they can technically arrest you. Also, any amount you carry when driving is illegal except in California if you have a medical card.

Oh yeah, the drugs for medication thing :p

Obviously the laws are stricter are stricter in America than in Holland, but here I don't think you're exactly free to do what you like with drugs either (even though many foreigners seem to think so). You aren't allowed to carry more than a certain amount and when you're caught smoking pot out on the street or in some public place, it's likely that you will be searched and will be taken to the police station.

Probably. Catfish are probably a better choice if you plan on eating them when they die. Don't know if they taste better though.

Just use some Old Bay powder on them. :P

I don't like seafood all that much though. I found that about every thing that comes from the sea has this typical taste that you either like or you don't. I don't like it.

Oh hell yeah! They have some pretty sweet riffs.

That's certainly a big plus.

Not requested by me. I'm not exactly getting excited for Bahamut nude pics :p

You sure? My offer will only last for 24 hours.

Looks like I'm already too late then. Shame...

Another thing the typical dutch and the typical german guy have in common.

Belgium people too as far as I know. When it comes to beer, I guess we're all the same.

But no matter what type of beer it is, I still prefer wine.

Nah, I never liked wine. And sparkling wine is even worse. The only thing I could throw up from after only one gulp.

Many beer drinkers don't like wine all that much.

Sparkling wine? I've never heard of that. I imagine something like champagne.

Gnat's piss?

That's what dict.leo.org told me. :(
The german phrase is "tastes like fallen asleep feet". ^^

XD

My gf said gnat's piss is indeed a proper expression. I don't know, in Holland we commonly say: "Tastes like horse piss" for terrible beer. "Creek water" for disgusting coffee :p

It might be a good birthday present for some of my friends though. I'm sure they'll be interested in having a 20% beer, and if it tastes like horse piss than we can probably have a little fun with it.

I'd rather drink something that tastes good. We once had a "beer festival" on my birthday. We bought beer from all over the world (there's a special shop in Hamburg that sells all kind of beer). There where some really bad ones... especially Spitfire from the UK was awful. >_>

Spitfire? Sounds like something that's mixed with some peppers or something.

I never really had a beer that tasted godawful. Then again, I haven't tried out that many exotic beers. Also, about every beer that's brewed in Holland tastes about the same. They did a blind tasting test once with a lot of "beer experts" and beer brewers and they seriously had about every brand wrong. There was only one guy who recognized his own beer, the rest had it all wrong. They couldn't even taste the difference between an A-brand and some cheap ass C-brand from some supermarket.

Should be a fun day, even though I'll only be watching the cricket - the sun it out and I'll be on the cider soon enough!

Coincidentally, that post above was my 140,000th Point on Newgrounds

That's nice to hear.

Pico Day!

I did, only because it was either watch that or an infomercial at 4 in the morning.

Could be though I wouldn't count OKC out just yet. Well see how game one goes with Memphis and see if they can face up with a quality team like the Lakers down the road.

Yes, I laid off the curry, to give it a breather.

Oh, you mean Bartolo Colon. Yeah, he pitched well.

"Everyone remember to take their suppositories?"

Yeah, but he lives on.

In our memories, sure.

Hmm, I thought it was a free for all when it comes to lesser drugs like pot. I'm sure that's what the Holland Tourism department states, heh. Sounds pretty much like California. If you have a card you can only have so much in a certain amount of time and if you abuse that then you get sent to jail.

I don't like seafood all that much though. I found that about every thing that comes from the sea has this typical taste that you either like or you don't. I don't like it.

Is the quality of the sea food in the North Sea poor? I know that some of the seafood in the Gulf of Mexico tends to be just a little below par compared to say the Atlantic Ocean.

Happy Pico Day!

Oh yeah, but you get a feeling of something really heavy when the organ almost inspires a bowel movement.

Hey, I'm not saying this song is bad or anything but I know there's heavier classical tunes out there. Night on Bald Mountain is as metal as you can possibly get.

Should I lower star pace again?

Up to you. You don't want to make it too accessible.

Or maybe I should scrap it entirely.
