Woohoo! I just played my first Lp in over a year!!! No, I wasn't in Rykers Island. We moved... My bud Rick and I set up my Nott and test-piloted some Lps with the help of the old Scott 299B and K-Horns. Sweeeet! p.s. pics are coming.

YOU NOT SAY UKRAINE IS WEAK!!!!

I bought a sealed set for $260 a couple of years ago. It's still sealed ... my daughter's college fund!

So far, yesterday's France-Spain match was one of the most entertaining ones.

This set has been discussed before.

Looks like Ukrainians are on a roll. Ukraine-Italy match promises to be a real bruiser!!! Do we get a 2 day football break now?

Perhaps the greatest dive in the history of the World Cup! Look at the drama! Ukraine not weak!!!

Holland-Portugal was the most bizarre game I've ever seen in the World Cup. Whole thing should have been stopped and replayed. Players were as much at fault as the ref. PS - Figo is one slimy mo-fo. PPS - Dutch had no chance. PPPS - Where the f... was Van Nistelroy???

Say what you want, the man had a genius for making [a lot of] money from television. RIP

It's time for France to show what they got [if anything].

Very nice cd, but I thought the cover was a bit ... ugly. Then I stumbled on this Japanese import This has got to be the original cover for this Lp/cd?

Try listening to Sidewinder full blast in a red 1987 BMW M6 speeding down Laurel Canyon and you will become a convert in about 10 seconds. ...that, or a heap of metal and flesh somewhere off the side of the SF Valley hills (I was driving Laurel day before yesterday). Well, then there's that ...

Well, in this case ... UKRAINE NOT WEAK Kramer: Ha ha, the Ukraine. Do you know what the Ukraine is? It's a sitting duck. A road apple, Newman. The Ukraine is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Ukraine. Ukrainian: I come from Ukraine. You not say Ukraine weak. Kramer: Yeah, well we're playing a game here, pal. Ukrainian: Ukraine is game to you?! Howbout I take your little board and smash it!!

Now that's the way to support your team !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could participate in this great discussion, but I watch all of the games post-factum, after getting back home from work, so I don't look here for the fear of spoilers.

Any time!

ARGENTINA WORLD CUP CHAMPION 2006 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can you expect from a Crouch? The goal should have been disallowed! Too late now and in any case don't think FIFA will take any firm decision on it! Well, with the lame 2 games the English had dumped on the fans in the last week I don't see any reason for them to continue subjecting us to further misery of watching them play beyond the next round. The English team needs "crouches" to move about the pitch a bit faster.

HAND OF GOD IS AT IT AGAIN!!! Absolutely disgusting and unsportsman-like! I never thought I'd see the day when the "gentlemen of football" would stoop that low...

I'd like to ban all hookers who have cold hands.

2500 You mean...it's just like Mosaic on the Last Chance list? Glad I got the box from CN.

So far Brasil - Croatia was the best game I've seen, along with Argentina - Cote D'Ivoire. It was breathtaking to see the Croats penetrate the Brasilian midfield in the 2nd half, like a knife goes through butter. A little too late, as they were sleep-walking through the 1st 45 min. Ronaldinho...what more can I say. France has disappointed me AGAIN. Can someone please explain to me what the problem is with this team?!
