I saw a commercial for 'The New TNN,' TV for guys, earlier today. They were promoting a few of its shows, including 'Ren & Stimpy,' WWE Wrestling, and 'Stripperella.' I might have to catch 'Stripperella' to see if it's quality-programming(yeah, right). Also, the commercial made no mention of Spike-TV, which was supposed to take over the name of 'TNN.' Apparently, the court case with Spike Lee is costing the company millions of dollars.

im so pumped about ren and stimpy coming back, especially because it is kirkfaluci and billy west, so it wont be insanely different from the original.andy ricther was good, as was greg the bunny and the tick (who puts gum on a roof?!?!). fox cancelled them because they were funny and good, obviously fox's aim is to show: a) proven reruns b) garbage.hee seop and eric karros are making me forget all about my baseball hero mark grace (obviously im a 1B guy). im glad hee seop is ok and he should be back soon.i just found out that the cubs traded mark bellhorn for jose hernandez...by god this is a terrible move...and this better not be thier answer to our 3B crisis...we need lowell!!!jay williams got into a crotch-rocket accident last night and underwent a 4 hour surgery for a broken leg...that musta been one helluva broken leg!!as far as other activities...im in a band (playing guitar in this one), play lotsa of sports, watch lotsa movies...normal teenager stuff. too bad im almost 22.

Thanks for clearing up the cheese on a stick. Sounds rather good, I might have to find somewhere that sells this.

So what kinds of music do you listen to? I am into metal and hard rock. Some punk is good, but none of this new cr@p lie NFG or Good Charlotte(sp?) I was a big fan of grunge (Pearl Jam/Nirvana) for a while. I wish that kind of music would come back.I also like the really old staind. I'm talking about their tormented album. I have a copy, and thank god I do because they dont make them anymore. Their new stuff is a bit lame. Aaron Lewis sings like he is so depressed, when his life has turned around so much from what it was.I also like Stone Sour. I got to see them and Powerman 5000 at Congress theater in april and they both rocked out. It was a great concert. The band that opened for them was called Ra and now they are starting to get some airtime.Another band to look out for is one that my older brother is a roadie for. It's called LeftSetter. They have one of the best drummers in Chicago playing with them. Their single, 11-11, is a great overall song. I think it might start to get some play soon. It's gonna be insane when it does.

I like rock and punk. Some pop is good... My brother listens to heavy metal and I'm so used to the music I'm starting to like it a little bit.

I listen to all types of rock. Heavy metal and hard rock are my favortie out of them all. When I went to the Metro to go see Swidden, LeftSetter was their opening act. I thought they were good. I saw them sometime in January of last year. I also went to see the Murderdolls there. They are awesome in concert. Theyre pretty popular but look out for them in the future. O yeah their cd has been out for a while so if any of you like heavy metal then check it out. I just got the new Metallica cd and its pretty good. I wasnt expecting more than what theyve been coming out with in the past few years. I wish they came out with new cds that are as good as Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets. After those cds their stuff has been kinda plain but I still like it anyway.

My dad sent this to me. It is rather funny.Cubs vs SoxOn a recent tour of the United States, the Pope took a couple of days offhis itinerary to visit the Florida coastline on an impromptu sightseeingtrip. His 4X4 Pope-mobile was driving along the beautiful shoreline when there was an enormous commotion heard just off the headland.They rushed to see and upon approaching the scene, the Pope noticed in the water a hapless man wearing a White Sox baseball jersey, struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a huge shark. At that moment a speedboat containing three men wearing Cubs jerseys roared into view from around the point. Immediately, one of the men took aim and fired a harpoon into the shark's ribs, immobilizing it instantly. The other two reached out and pulled the Sox fan from the water and then, using long clubs, beat the shark to death.They bundled the bleeding, semiconscious man into the boat along with the dead shark and then prepared for a hasty retreat when they heard frantic shouting from the shore.It was the Pope summoning them to the beach. After they reached the shore, the Pope praised them for the rescue and said, "I give you my blessing for your brave actions. I heard that there is bitter anger between the people of the south and north sides of Chicago, but now I have seen with my own eyes this is not true...I can see that your society is a truly enlightened example of true harmony and could serve as a model on which others could follow." He blessed them all and drove off in a cloud of dust.As he departed, the harpooner asked the others, "Who was that?". "That was the Holy Father, His Holiness the Pope, the head of the Roman Catholic Church and the spiritual leader of millions of faithful Christians around the world.""Well," the harpooner replied, "He doesn't seem to know anything aboutsharkfishing. Is the bait holding up okay or do we need to get anotherone?"

That was kinda funny. It should say the spiritual leader of millions of faithful Chatholics around the world. Catholics are not Christians. I dont want to start an argument of any kind. Im just stating a fact.

I think Andy Richter's show on Fox is gone for good. Oliver Beene is after Malcolm nowadays. Perhaps you heard Andy's show returning on a repeat episode of Conan?

Well then you must not be Catholic. Believing in God is Christian. Well, Catholics believe in God and are not Buddhist, Muslim, or even Hindu, so therefore they are Christian. It is a branch of Christianity. If Catholics aren't Christian, who is?

No, believing in God doesn't make you Christian. Believing in Christ makes you Christian. Don't anyone try to give me that "But Christ is God" crap, it's denomination dependant.
