    Well, I don't really have a top 10 favorite. That's too many to count. Towards the end, I would just end up naming songs that I LIKE that aren't necessarily my favorites. So my top 5 looks like this:

    5. Pornographer's Daughter by Northstar
    4. Short Story With Tragic Endings by From Autumn to Ashes
    3. Blame it on Bad Luck by Bayside
    2. Wounded/Motorcycle Drive By by Third Eye Blind(tie)
    1. hesitant and polite by [minus]

    or
    PacMan Jones's Bodyguard.
    I'm going against your rules and ranking from worst to best, starting with 8. So here we go.

    8. PacMan Jones' bodyguard.
    I can't even guard myself, so how would I guard him? And besides, I'm not into bullets flying around my head on a daily basis.
    7. OJ Simpson's judge.
    Guilty. Next?
    6. Tiger Woods' Caddie
    I'm not that into golf, and I'm pretty sure I've heard he's had crappy relationships with past caddies.
    5. President Obama's advisor.
    I'm not THAT into politics, which is why this ranks so low.
    4. LeBron James' ball boy.
    Being around the most talented player in the NBA would be fun. Going on the road with an NBA team would be even better.
    3. Martin Luther King Jrs' best friend.
    The man has a way with words, and being his best friend means infinite advice.
    2. Britney Spears' husband.
    She's hot. 'Nuff said. I don't care if she's crazy. I've dated stalkers, whores and scary women.
    1. Bud Selig's righthand man.
    I think all of us(well..most) would agree that this ranks the best out of the choices.

    Well, it didn't instantly scar, but I think you mean the second I busted it open. Let me give the background.

    Senior year in high school. Shop class. Substitute. Shop class wasn't happening. Buddies and I decided to play hack sack in the garage..

    Buddy shows me some new trick he learned that involved a from hand spring while the hacky sack is between your feet..ending in you doing a hand spring and the sack getting served in.

    Well, I tried it. Except I let go of my hands that were holding me up from the concrete floor. BAM! Chin's bleeding EVERYWHERE.

    I'll never retire, though. I played last week actually.

    I don't know how to describe it. I guess it was more of a half hand spring. I kicked my feet up and that's when I let go of the hacky sack..and my hands.

    Does that make more sense? It's hard to describe..lol

    Who did you enjoy killing on Halo 3 the most, Nathan.. Brian.. or Me? OR yourself, with a sticky? O_O Would you enjoy killing your wifey if you two played Halo 3?
    Probably you or Brian, but mostly because Nathan didn't make fun of my (lack of) playing skills as much as you and Brian. Or he just did it in more of a subtle way.

    She has played with us a couple times. Her first time to play, she actually got two kills, which (falsely) led me to believe that she was a natural and could easily be better than me very soon. But after the first game, she played maybe 6 more games and got a total of one kill. She refuses to play now.

    This question would have been a lot harder if you had said, "Out of these three, if you could only root for one, who would it be?" It would be extremely difficult to choose between the Rockets and the Astros. That said, I would give up the Bengals, in a heart beat. Football is my least favorite sport of the three, and obviously the Bengals are not a very good team.

    I like how you get to ask three questions, but somehow you managed to sneak 321 into one "question."

    Jerome Williams is a beast. He could definitely still play, but he's out doing the humanitarian thing, which makes him that much more awesome.

    YES! The Rockets should deal Tracy McGrady. I've been campaigning for this almost as long as I did for the Astros to get rid of Brad Ausmus. At least one of those paid off. The Rockets are feeling really foolish right now, considering they were offered Chauncy Billups AND Tayshaun Prince for T-Mac(and smaller contracts) last season and declined it. IDIOTS! Try to get something close to that now. Try to get Grant Hill and Amundson from the Suns for him, now. I bet you'll get turned down.

    I've known him since we were both about...12. We met doing fantasy basketball(or some other sport..not important.) So that was about 12 years ago or so. Ever since then, we just clicked and he's really been one of my best friends. He's a really good guy, despite his Strike3 persona.

    Well, right around the time I started fantasy sports, I also started up sim leagues. With a large group of familiar faces..well..screen names, I was in dozens of fantasy basketball leagues from when I was 12-18, as well as a football sim or two. We had about 10-15 people be in all the leagues we were in, so we had a little "crew" similiar to what Strike3 has going here. I've also been in and ran a couple baseball sim leagues, one with Kingdom_of_Zito. It was called AnD(Amos 'n Dexy..our online personas!) and ran for enough seasons for our legion/crew to call it the best sim they'd been in.

    TBSL is probably the first sim I've been in in about 6 or so years, so I'm probably a little rusty.

    8. Albert Pujols.
    I don't even know why he's on the list.

    I know nothing of this or who the guy is.
    6. Tim Tebow.

    I really don't know. Back in the day, I was on this social networking website called TheDilly.com. I had a really, REALLY stupid screen name, and I was trying to think of something to replace it. I was walking to class one day, and this word...Buckcheeks..popped into my head. I have no idea where it came from, what it means, or why it randomly popped in my head, but it worked.

    I define it as a play on the word butt cheeks, and buck teeth. But even that makes absolute no sense and I realize that.

    Greatest Astro? I wouldn't go that far. I would however rank him right around 3rd for the greatest Astros of my generation. My list would look like this:

    10. Tim Bogar
    9. Mitch Meluskey
    8. Glen Barker
    7. Mike Maddox
    6. Chris Burke
    5. Sean Berry
    4. Derek Bell
    3. Jose Vizcaino
    2. Tony Eusebio
    1. Geoff Blum

    Well, here's the thing. My girlfriend has a tattoo of an owl, in tribute to her grandmother, but many people mistake it for the Tootsie Roll pop owl. And trust me, I've tried to lick that tattoo many of times, and I never get to the chocolate. So I don't think there really IS a center of a tootsie roll pop.

    Women
    Nations
    WVU Sports Figures
    Professional Wrestlers
    Planets
    Body Parts
    I guess you made me realize how much I don't know about him. Most of these will be complete guesses, but let's go!

    Food- He really likes spaghetti.
    He hates broccoli and sauerkraut.

    Drinks- He digs the Mountain Dew.
    He doesn't like beer.

    Women- He's into Maggie Gyllenhaal.
    He doesn't like Martha Stewart, though.

    Nations- He enjoys South Africa, but absolutely dislikes Sri Lanka.

    WVU Sports Figuers-
    His favorites I think were Steve Slaton and Amos Zerourueueueue.
    His least favorites...well, he liked Chris Henry in college, but once he went to the Bengals he stopped liking him, and stuff. Oh, and I'm sure he didn't like Bob Huggins.


    Professional Wrestlers-
    He likes The Big Show and he liked Prince Albert.
    He disliked Brett Hart and the Big Bossman.

    Planets-
    He likes Uranus(obligatory Uranus reference) and Neptune.
    He hates Earth.

    Body parts-
    He likes ears, and middle fingers.
    He dislikes pinkies and belly buttons. And feet.

    Professional sports, yes. But there are plenty of minor league baseball teams that outweigh the greatness of the Colt 45's, including:

    Albuquerque Isotopes...a Simpsons reference.
    Batavia Muckdogs..it just sounds cool. And I saw them against my (former) hometown minor league team, the Jamestown Jammers, several times.
    Lansing Lugnuts
    Montgomery Biscuits
    Speaking of which, the Jamestown Jammers are pretty cool. Their mascot is a mean grape. No lie. He is awesome, too.
    Wichita Wingnuts..

    the list goes on.

    1. I think we all know the best way to answer that question is to raise your eyebrow and say, "I'll take the most that you'll give me, sir."

    2. Of course I do. Why the hell wouldn't I? Silly goose.

    3. No, read my answer to what Buckcheeks means. That's the point.

    Job B requires you to take care of this guy. To include, but not limited to, daily sponge baths, hand washing his clothes, changing his bed pan, amongst many other things



    But it pays $300/hr, 40 hrs a week.

    Which do you choose? ("none of the above" is not an option)

    2. Why is your clock down?

    3. What do Curtis Granderson, Matt Clement, Jose Canseco, and Eric Byrnes all have in common that makes them your favorite players?
    1. As long as it's not a day long job(i.e. living with the guy and not going home to enjoy time with my family) I would definitely take job 2. Sure it'd be gross, and job 1 would be a lot of fun, but I'd be the richest man in the world after about 5 years of working for the guy.(I was just guesstimating..please don't calculate how much I'd make it 5 years and prove me wrong. )

    2. It's actually from the song "Clock is Down" by Letter Kills. At the time of making the screen name, I didn't really how close to sounding like "my **** is down" that is, and many people have thought that that was what I was referencing in it. Embarrassing.

    3. An e. I looooove Es.

    But really, my two favorite players are Steve Kline and Bobby Estellela. Not because he is going to testify against Bonds, but because out of my brother and I, Bobby is the only guy that either of us have caught a home run ball from.

    We were at a game with my dad one year, and at Enron..I mean Minute Maid Park, there's a pump in the outfield that counts how many Astros home runs are hit there. Well around that area, there is a walk-way with little arches where you can stand out in the outfield. Basically, buy a 5 dollar ticket and then you can go stand in the archway and be REALLY close to the outfielders and bullpen(this is where the infamous Todd Jones/"Dirt Cork" incident took place).

    Anyways. We were standing out there, and out of all people, Bobby Estellela of the Rockies smoke a line drive out towards us. The ball flies over everyone's head into the walk-way. My brother and I take off running, as well as about 20 other people. The ball bounces off the wall on the other side of the walk-way and comes back towards us. My brother dives on the ground with 2 other guys and ends up getting it. One of the other guy broke his digital camera...over a Bobby freakin' Estellela home rub ball. That, in my eyes, is power, and that's why he's one of my favorite players.

    Steve Kline..we were in the same spot when they played the Cardinals. We got there a little early and they were doing batting practice and all that jazz. Steve Kline was in the outfield shagging balls and playing catch some teammates. They would throw balls in the stands every once in awhile, but the reason he's my favorite player is because he looked directly at me..right in the eyes..and threw me a ball.....TWICE.
