Fields got the ball with about 10 seconds left. He went to his favorite spot, just behind the 3-point line off to the left side of the head of the key and let fly.
You have to be feeling pretty good about this one. I didn't watch it, but I can only imagine how loud your house was.
Well, this would definitely help eliminate door dings, especially with the assholes that don't know how to park their own cars. This is pretty awesome.

TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran and China's Sinopec on Sunday signed a two billion dollar contract to develop a major Iranian oil field, a crucial deal for the Iranian energy industry at a time of mounting international pressure.
"The initial estimation of cost of the project is about 2.0 billion dollars and the final cost of the project will be decided after the offering of the tenders," said Iranian Oil Minister Gholam Hossein Nozari.
Sounds like things are getting better for us all the time. What I'm wondering now is, what denomination are they using since Iran doesn't take the dollar anymore and China keeps their Yuan low.

Wallington has discovered what he believes is the incredibly simple secret of how the ancients managed to build Stonehenge. He demonstrates in this video. Got a couple pebbles?
Now only if we could combine his methods with a giant trebuchet in some crazy way it might be possible to launch huge stones hundreds of feet and create sweet henges. possibly even with objects like cars.
Don Imus is back on the radio, brimming with apology and announcing a new cast that includes two African-American comedians. He was run off the air a few months ago for calling the Rutgers women’s basketball team “nappy headed ho’s.”
I understand why he was canned. I understand why he is back. I understand that our culture loves the whole hero-sins/is-sent-into exile/then-is-redeemed cycle. It seems to perfectly embody the Christian ideals on which much of our culture operates.
What I don’t understand is why Imus got fired for his sins, albeit temporarily, while Family Guy rolls merrily along. I am not saying that Family Guy should be canned, or that Imus shouldn’t have been, but it’s a pretty curious situation.
Read his talking points about why he thinks this is the case. And then think about what was missing. Maybe #6 nobody who watches Family Guy really cares, because they can see past all the bullshit and don't care since they make fun of everyone. Isn't that one of the reasons why South Park as survived and grown bigger? Annoy and insult everyone, that way you aren't pigeon holed (or corn holed) for just one thing.

This kid, Robert Hawkins, was a sorry-ass motherfucking excuse for a mass murderer. He killed only eight people before he offed himself–now what kind of a weak PG-13 body count is that?
And motherfucker killed himself after getting fired from McDonald’s? Holy shit, you stupid-ass motherfucker, the time to kill yourself is when you get hired at McDonald’s. If you get fired from Mickey D’s, you best consider yourself a got-damn prodigy; it takes some mad skills to get fired from a place that’ll even hire retards.
Nice perspective on this. I'm sure that other emo's will take this to heart.
