What do you mean by that? Are you saying you were dissapointed in S:UF?

SFGA11- I think S:UF is an okay ride. You would think that since they hype something up so much that it would be awesome. A lot of people are dissapointed including me. They need to lay off on the advertisements.

cheese on a stick is a treat available at some amusment parks.i bleed cubby blue, but im not excited about sosa returning to the lineup. he has had an awful year and if he cant break out of his slump he should be benched just like mark bellhorn or any other polayer who isnt producing. i wish the average fans didnt treat him like some sort of god. cubs will sweep IF they can score some runs. if they cant put up 4 or 5 at least, it wont be pretty.hulk looks amazing. being a long life hulk fan (lou ferrigno hulk, not comic book hulk), i was upset at first about the cg, because ALL cg sucks, in my opinion. but seeing where they went with it...seeing the ridiculous things they have the hulk doing (i.e. throwing tanks) makes it a little more acceptable in my book. if youre going to go overboard, go overbaord BIG. its a comic book...it shouldnt be so real-to life.

And Cheese on a Stick is a funny name. It's a corn dog, but instead of a dog, it's a brick of cheese.

Well I hope Hee Seop Choi will be back soon. He was a good powerful hitter and a good defensive player. I was in shock when he hit his head on the 3rd base line.

Yea, I think that he was playing really well and I am glad that the Cubs were able to get him on the team. Its too bad that he got injured.

WOOT! 2 run HR for sosa!On a non baseball note, what all do you guys like doing? Other than playing/watching baseball and rollercoasters I spend most of my time working (7-4 every day..). I've had numerous failed attempts to create a WWW page lately. TV's always good for me especially Futurama, Simpsons, Seinfeld, and Car and Driver TV. I love photographing sporty cars around town but NO RICERS! Well, what else do you all like doing?

Futurama being canceled by Fox shows what a horrible network they really are! They keep pumping out new shows, some good, most bad, but don't keep the best. Futurama is great, I'm glad Cartoon Network picked it up and shows it now. Does anyone know what happend to Andy Rickter (sp?) Controls the Universe?

I try to catch 'The Simpsons' weekdays/nights. On Cartoon Network, I'll usually watch 'Futurama' or 'Adult Swim.' I watched 'Dog Eat Dog' for Brooke, but somehow she was the only highlight of that show. After hours, I usually prefer Jay over Dave, but Jay gets old quickly(then I'll switch over to Dave). If I stay up even later, it's definitely Conan over Craig. Now that Jimmy Kimmel has moved to a midnight timeslot, I don't catch it too often anymore. I haven't had too much time lately, but I'm playing Splinter Cell on Xbox and some GTA:VC on PS2.I think 'Andy Richter Controls the Universe' has been cancelled by Fox. I remember the name of the show was changed to just 'Andy Richter' then back to 'Andy Richter Controls the Universe.'

A good Futurama website : http://www.gotfuturama.com/ .I started to enjoy watching Andy Richter Controlls the Universe close to when they stoped airing it. Fox doesn't seem to like these shows too much because they just kinda do away with them.

Have you tried Funky Fries? I haven't tried Funky Fries, but there are chocolate, sour cream, cinnamon, and blue fries. According to CNN, the product flopped. On the other hand, I tried the new Sprite (Sprite Re-Mix) and it's not that bad. It probably won't catch on, though.

Funky Fries! Sour Cream ones were great! The rest sucked. I knew about them months before they were even known about, and knew right away they wouldn't go anywhere but nowhere. Some people I showed the bags to thought I made them at first with my computer or something. :lol:

My favorite shows are the line up on FOX from 5:00-7:00 and 10:00-11:30 weekdays: That 70's Show, The Simpsons, and Seinfeld. Best shows ever!

What ever happened to Family Guy? That was a hillarious show in my opinion.

Family Guy was dropped by fox but was also picked up by cartoon network. It shows at I believe 11:00pm on weekdays chicago time.When I'm not watching tv, or chatting about coasters, or riding coasters for that matter, I'm usually working on my truck. I decided to revamp it cause I dont want to have to worry about buying a new car while I'm at college. It's got a little over 101,000miles on it and I want to try to make it to 200,000. I've already had to replace the starter on it.Other than that I play video games. I beat Splinter Cell the week I got it. It was a pretty good game. They should have put in a multiplayer mode to it. That would be really awesome. even if it you couldn't have more than one person on the same X-box, if you could play other people online and do things in teams and stuff using X-box live, that would be awesome. I also have been playing a bunch of RCT2 as well as I just bought Enter the Matrix. The multiplayer mode you can unlock is soooo cool. It kind of sucks that you cant use the focus (matrix movement) in it though.
you can't believe it - you didn't mean it
but they saw you do it and they know your name

Family Guy is on at 10:30 on cartoon network. That is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. I wonder why FOX canceled it.

It was cancled for the same reason Andy Richter and Futurama were cancled, and why The Pitts was allowed to have 3 episodes too many (maybe more, I only saw it on for 3 weeks.) Just to piss us off!

All the good shows are being canceled because of reality television. They are much cheaper to make and lately have been very popular. Ive been sick of reality television since it started, so stop watching reality television if you want your favorite shows to come back.

Yeah The Pitts was one of the dumbest shows I've ever seen!! It wasn't funny at all!!! I also thought that Oliver Been wasn't that great either. They both suck!

I also hate reality shows. They are so stupid. I dont know why people even like them. My friends mom works for Fox so one day I should go with him and tell the president how to make everything better. Anyway I love Malcom in the Middle. Its so funny.

Well, sexy reality TV shows get the college ratings, then people advertise products that college kids would buy, and there ya go. Fox made money. I hope that reality TV goes away as fast as the game show fad went away. The 1st season of Survivor was okay but we dont need 10 seasons of the same ol crap. We have the box DVD set of Futurama and Family Guy seasons 1 and they are great. Hours of laughter!
