Way Off-topic: You never saw my last reply in the Poli Board thread about academia? We should talk off-thread. It's not a rebuttal, but I wanted you to understand where I came from.

Your list sucks.





































Just joshin


Anybody know where the saying just joshin ya came from? Because I will be using that saying a lot from now on. Except I'm changing the name. Just teddin ya. Maybe just darrelin ya. Still undecided.

H-Town..im assuming you are counting The Godfather one and two as one movie on your list? I dont see how someone can have one up there and not have the other
