  1. He wasn't a religious person, so I doubt if he was worried about where he was going to spend eternity. Besides, premarital sex and a ton of other things people do are sins as well, so that probably excludes a shit load of Christians from going "up there" too if you want to take the bible literally. Just sayin
  2. I watched an interview of Williams earlier today and he was talking about watching TV with his dad in his early teens. He said that his dad rarely laughed at anything and then Jonathan Winters came on TV and his dad started laughing out out. That's where he got his inspiration to be a comedian and love of Winters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NqEKvk9F4I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDJjq0Pd0RM
  3. That's nothing. My signature can go from the front to the back.
  4. If you are going to play on XI servers, you're going to have to learn to play in your underwear.
  5. Sorry for the gruesome details of his death. If you don't want to know stop reading now. Our local sheriff's department just held a press conference and said that Robin was found fully clothed in a seated position hanging with a belt from a closed closet door, and he also tried to cut his wrists with a pocket knife found nearby. By the time he was found at around 10:AM Monday morning he had already been dead several hours and was last seen alive at 10:PM on Sunday evening. He really must have wanted to die considering all he had to do was to stand up. What a horrible end for such a great talent.
  6. If Robin Williams was a kid growing up today, he would have probably been hated by his teachers as a shit disturber, placed in a special education program, and forced to go on ADHD meds to quiet him down. Kind of makes you wonder how many talented kids are told something is wrong with them and they never completely reach their full potential. To anybody who grew up in Marin county like I did, Robin was a regular fixture and was seen all of the time out an about just like a normal person at local restaurants, grocery stores, or out for a ride on his mountain bike. He lived (and died) in a well to do neighborhood on the water in San Francisco bay just a couple doors down from my uncle who knew him well as a neighbor. It's not a gated community and anybody could literally go up and knock on his door. If he was home, he would answer the door. A few years ago when my kids were younger, we took them trick or treating in the neighborhood where he lived, and he answered the door and handed out glow sticks and candy. When I was 19 my girl friend at the time was a lifeguard at a pool in the condo complex where Robin's mom lived. We were there swimming one day and Robin came out with his mom for a dip in the pool, dove into the pool not realizing it was only 3 feet deep, and scraped the skin off of his nose when it hit the bottom of the pool. He was gushing blood as my girlfriend tended to him, and he still cracked jokes the entire time. Other times when I saw him, he looked sad and withdrawn. When he was away from the cameras you could see that he had a troubled soul, it was just a look on his face and in his eyes. I can't imagine living life where you have to constantly be funny and the toll it has to take on your mental health. Great talent comes at a cost, and Robin paid that price. He was a salt of the earth kind of person and treated everybody (even strangers) with respect and dignity and didn't let his fame change who he was. His mentor Jonathan Winters also had his demons, and voluntarily committed himself to a psychiatric hospital, only to find out years later that he had what we call today bi-polar disorder. Robin may have suffered from similar disorders, but for most of his life he managed it as best he could, and left us all with some wonderful memories.
  7. What I don't get is why the kid was so pissed off in the first place. He was passing Tony on the outside, and if anything his actions caused the crash not Stewarts. Tony was making the turn and didn't move in front of the kid at all. You can't really see their wheels meet, and it looks like the kids front wheel got into the soft dirt on the top of the curve and it spun him around. I think the kid was just trying to act tough for the crowd and it ended up costing him his life. He was 20 and may have been a professional driver, but he still had a kids mentality and wanted to show off.
  8. No details yet. I just saw the headline on MSN. What a shame, he was a comedy icon. RIP Robin. UPDATE: Looks like a suicide. What a fucking shame. http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/08/11/robin-williams-dead-at-63/
  9. I just wanted to say LMAO before this gets moved to the political forum.
  10. No, but admins get extra points for doing it to all other players.
  11. Thanks for letting us know Loader. And thank you Pfc. Lawrence S. Gordon for being part of the greatest generation.
  12. For those of us who play on COD2 DM server we have a new weapon. Rugger has added knives to our available weapons. No need to choose them from a menu, just change from your primary, to secondary weapons as you always do, and kives will be the third choice. If it is set up as it was in the past, you can throw an unlimited number of knives at your opponent, or you can slash somebody with the same key you use for bashing somebody. Have fun! LOM
  13. I played it this morning and yesterday morning. So far so good.
  14. An unfortunate set of circumstances. Two guys with hot tempers pushing things too far. The kid that died was only 20 and should really have known better than to run out onto the track and confront another driver in a fit of rage. It's like chasing a guy with a gun and you are unarmed. The video is still available for those who want to see it. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=969_1407652422
  15. I just read it was a 17 year old neighbor.
  16. That's sad but true. I used to do that to my son when I grounded him. I would pull the power cords from all of his electronic toys and take them away for a couple weeks. By the end of his grounding he was a nut case.
  17. Happy birthday Tangmere.
  18. Yeah if only.......
  19. Usually when that happens, your game crashes and the master server thinks you are still playing. The system won't allow you to re-enter the game until your info has cleared out of the server. I'll bet if you try it again it will work just fine.
  20. No trouble Laz. I almost feel bad killing them because they suck so bad.
  21. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tqxzWdKKu8 There is still something about seeing painsponge in that movie playing banjo with his kin dancing all around.
  22. Good stuff. I grew up on bluegrass and I don't care what form it comes in. There's just something about raw talent without all of the special effects that makes music better.
