You people are odd.

When's the last time you saw a Steeler flop? Pittsburgh for the win. Culinary clash: Tacos vs. Chinese take-out

I read an article suggesting that the Browns might trade their #12 pick, a third-round pick this year, and an unspecified pick next year to San Francisco to move up to #2. So the first two picks could both go to Cleveland! Wrap your minds around that for a minute, will ya?

If they coach the guy right, they've already got a potentially slightly better than mediocre QB in Brock Osweiler. If his time in Houston didn't make him a complete headcase, he could still turn out to be serviceable. Theoretically. But yeah, everything I've read says Garrett is the guy at #1. So they'll probably pick Trubisky instead.

I'm giving it to Wedge because a] He's the only pilot with two Death Star stickers on his plane, and b] I despise the new BSG. Battle of the Guitars: Fender Stratocaster vs. Gibson Les Paul.

Q: Do all of these nuns have automatic weapons?! A: I hear them call my name in night-time.

Mal: "If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed." Meanwhile, Han shoots first. Han wins. Quad erat demonstrandum. Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) vs. Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)

I tried.

Will adamantuim stop a lightsaber blade? Doesn't matter. Vader is more versatile and stronger-willed, and is a better fighter. Ultron may injure Vader, but Vader ultimately leaves Ultron as an inert heap of scrap metal. Next: Pink Power Ranger vs. Fa Mulan.

Other match, professor.

There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples-- And they're quite convinced they're right-- They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the maples scream "Oppression!" And the oaks just shake their heads So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights "The oaks are just too greedy We will make them give us light!" Now there's no more oak oppression For they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet Axe And saw

Saw you walking out on Sentimental Street Whatcha going out there Who ya trying to be? I know what you're thinking Cause I've been there myself I've been kicked so many times I don't know nothing else Still I noticed your urgency I recognized the flair That ya got from chasing All those East coast dares I've seen it before It happens time and again All cut up inside Yet you're caught in a spin Out on Sentimental Street in the avenues Take a good hard look There ain't nothing ever new Out on Sentimental Street in the avenues Will you ever find out? Guess I'll leave it up to you Saw you dancing out at Madame Wong's Two You did them same two steps That I taught you back in June Heard you dined last night At Conte Razor's Café Did you get your fill? Did you think you had to pay ? Still I noticed your urgency And recognized the pain And I'm sure it's the same You feel again and again And I wish I could get us That second chance But you're having too much fun With your sudden romance Out on Sentimental Street in the avenues Take a good hard look There ain't nothing ever new Out on Sentimental Street in the avenues Will you ever find us? Guess I'll leave it up to you
