Federer will win Wimbledon now.  Trust me.

I didn't know they sold them. Shocked

If so, I'll make it priority to get the new one as soon as I can.

Now, maybe it's just me, but I really think no amount of money is worth 150 years... I'm anticipating a ridiculous sentence.

Linkage

Quote A crowd of spectators has arrived at a New York court to witness Bernard Madoff being sentenced for plotting a $50bn (£30.3bn) investment fraud.

The disgraced financier, 71, who pleaded guilty to 11 charges in March, could face a sentence of 150 years.

I rather like that about him, actually.

By the way, I must admit that I have not mustered up the fortitude to read your behemoth of a review for that album...I feel like I could listen to it in the time it would take me to read it.  LOL

You need to make it priority when you have some spare time. Big smile

This Federer vs. Soderling match is rather dull...

I may have to see what other games are on soon.

The second one's tad heavier, and I liked the music more.


I'll agree with you there.

But I still love Vasaraasia.  I don't dislike it at all.

Every guitar solo on Train of Thought is Petrucci shredding- incessantly.  The singing is grating.  Portnoy just plows through with double bass.

Myung and Rudess are the only positive points on this album I think.

False. You've heard Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory.


Yes.  Yes I have.  It is my favorite progressive metal album.

Because, Käärmelautakunta actually means something, whereas Käärmelekunta is just gibberish.


I wanted to correct that too, but was too lazy to open the Character MapLOL....

The name means Board of the Snake, if my memory serves me right.


It's not just about the umlauts, I forgot the "lauta" part. Embarrassed
