DISQUS

I would have added Aesop's fables, but overall this is one of the best reading lists I've ever seen. I've read a bit less than a quarter, but I'm planning on reading most eventually.

Sixty seconds? I suppose that makes them easy to knock off, but how much meaningful stuff can you fit in a minute?

So nice to know you guys are all wrong.

Baltimore v Chicago.

That's not predicting? :)

No kidding. Aaron, I've already got this bookmarked in my "later" folder along with the "experts" preseason predictions to look back on and laugh at in February when the Ravens get absolutely dominated in the playoffs.

But until then we can only guess

The Falcons making the playoffs is a joke. Michael Vick has mastered the second half slide, and they'll likely finish the season 8-8, maybe 9-7. 7-9 is more likely.

Ravens ought to win the AFC North easily, but I don't see them getting past the divisionls in the postseason. The AFC Super Bowl rep will be Indy or San Diego. No other team scares me.

The Broncos are too used to winning by the least amount they have to, and their defense suddenly isn't historically good, but average. The Patriots lost all magic they ever had, the Ravens gave up 26 quick points to a terrible team.

In the NFC it'll be Chicago, New York, or New Orleans. Chicago is capable of beating anyone, including themselves. They can play and beat anyone on a good day, but they lucked out against Arizona and got blown out by Miami. I don't see them escaping two straight playoff games. New York is missing too many key guys, and Eli Manning's innacuracy is going to come back to bite them at some point in the postseason. That leaves New Orleans.

I'll take Colts over Saints in the Super Bowl, but that could easily be Saints vs. Chargers, and I have no idea who's win that one.

Wow, who are these ‘most people’?

The families of the victems, for one, and the half of America that loved Fahrenheit 9/11 so much. If they didn't find it too soon after 9/11 for a fictional "documentary" on it, then surely they didn't find it too soon for such a good film.

what has it added that we didn’t know already?

Quite a bit, actually, unless you've read the 9/11 Comission, and just about every other bit of evidence from that day. I learned a lot

apart from to make some filmmakers cash - unless that’s being donated to some worthy casue? I doubt it

Actually, a significant portion of the income is being given, I believe, to a 9/11 memorial or something like that. They aren't pocketing all of it

One of the things that hasn’t seen much reporting is what happened to the flight attendants. We know about the passengers and pilots. But what about the Flight Attendants? Was their “story” told in the movie?

Actually, I would say it was. About a third of the plane scenes were the terrorists, a third were the passengers, and a third were the crew

The only thing about United 93 is “Can I see it?” 9/11 is still fairly raw for me, and I haven’t flown on a plane since then.

I've flown on several planes since 9/11...it was a little creepy the first time, but I didn't find it a huge deal, though I can definitely understand why someone would want to avoid flying. As for it still being raw, I think that's probably true for a lot of people. I still find it haunting every time I see a video clip or picture of one of the planes flying into the buildings. I think I'd still recommend seeing it

hard to say...It was pretty intense, and there was some language and violence...probably around 12ish

I did. I was bored. A single guest entry three and a half weeks out isn't exacty a comeback...

Didn't you leave off "must be willing to dedicate a minimum of 15 entries per month to the Baltimore Ravens"?

;)

Blown way out of wack. There was an error, and it was fixed. Big deal. People seem to like going after the big boys

Chrono:

Good luck with that. This whole template is based off of images. The top part is one image, and the whole middle of it is a repeating image. It's also designed at a fixed width of 870 pixels (I think)...in short, those two things are the entire template.

pretty slick looking, all in all.

Just curious, but did you realize I am, in fact, male?

I'm surprised lifehacker got shut out

and how does splog*spot beat out WordPress?

Duncan,
If you want I could have one of our guys through something your way on a discount.

Oooooh. I'm definitely no match for that if it's anything like their sites. Consider me your backup

e-mail sent. I'm not going to make the next K2, but I can make something a whole lot easier on the eyes than what you have now :)

Are you serious...?

have fun with it

what'dyou need a dedicated box for?

we hit 81 yesterday. riding the bike was nice

Hi Sphagnum. In case you didn't notice, this post was written by me, Jesse, and not Aaron. I'm one of the people who write guest entries every now and then. He's been having trouble lately because one of his guests would write something and then people would think it was him. Because of this there is now a gravatar by each post. If it is by Aaron you'll see his gravatar, a picture of aaron looking smashing in a nice looking suite. If I posted it you'll see my gravatar, the NFL image you see right now.

dang. maybe I ought to display contact details more prominently

We've got a KK here. Amazing. ahhh, and when they're running that machine and giving out free ones.....my mouth is starting to drip on the keyboard
