    I’m sure it was made with good intentions- just another brick laid on a well worn road ๐Ÿ˜‰ Smacks of either idolatry or profanity to me… but that’s just another opinion. Each to the devil in their own way ๐Ÿ™‚

    Got a news flash for you ma’am- *anything* will sell if there’s enough press behind it ๐Ÿ™‚ Pet Rocks comes readily to mind, as do a few cheap hot sauces I could name.

    I saw X-men last weekend. Not too bad. I have had much better cinematic experiences but there have been much much worse! My favorite line came from Juggernaut Very funny stuff

    Kari and I are going to have a movie marathon weekend. We always end up renting DVD’s and never get to the theatre anymore, so we decided we would hit it hard this weekend. We are planning on seeing Da Vinci, The Break-up, and X-men 3. I will have to let you all know what I think next week.

    uhh it looks like it is just over 1,000 dollars! 1057.74 ๐Ÿ™

  25. MattUK Avatar

    yeah just over $1000 between 6. I dread to see the gas bill. We have been having estimated bills for a while and they have finally read the meter…..so it’s the past three months plus the bits that we haven’t payed on previous bills ๐Ÿ™

    Nick, I hope this is OK to post.

    Do we have anyone from the Twin Cities area up in this joint? I have 4 free tickets to the MasterCraft US Pro Wakeboard Tour on Island Lake in the Minneappolis/St Paul area that I will not be able to attend. The Tour stop is this weekend and the tickets are good for Saturday OR Sunday. These tickets are General Admission but I will also provide the letter that came with the tickets which allows the bearer of the tickets to sit in a reserved area for MasterCraft boat owners. These wakeboard competitions are always a good time and I would love for someone to be able to use these. Email me with your contact info if you are interested.

    gAMBIT IS THE GUY WITH THE CARDS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT ISNT HE. eVEN IF THAT ISNT HIM, i DO NOT RECALL A GAMBIT IN THE MOVIE. Oops caps ๐Ÿ™‚ The Beast was played by Frasier Kelsey grammer.

  34. Jim Campbell- StepUpForCharity.org Avatar

    Didn’t see a ‘Gambit’ though I might not have recognized him if he was there. Didn’t hear the name used either. Didn’t really care for the series as a kid (Green Hornet fan) but have liked the movies. Thought Kelsey Grammer was pretty entertaining in his role.

  35. Mrs.Ryan Avatar
    Mrs.Ryan

    YES GAMBIT HAD THE CARDS!!!!!!!!!! woooohooooo, he is my fave he is great. Beast is awesome. I am going to see this movie soon. especially since gambit is in it. I loved the comics and the cartoons, and the movies, when i was a teenager we had the role playing game, like Dungeons and dragons, I had a blast playing that.

    Mrs.Ryan

    oops read that wrong, those people re getting a mean old letter from me, he as a huge part of the x-men to not have him in there is just WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
