This is a good thing.
Otherwise you end up with dudes like Fedor ducking Overeem and other real competition for years and years.

Yeah this thread wouldn't exist and we'd be posting in the wrestling or, god forbid, boxing thread.

Im a Jon Jones fan but seeing him get knocked by Hendo would be pretty glorious. Might give him a reality check too. He'd obviously get a rematch and win anyways, but kid needs to get humbled first.
He might slip just for the fact that things are coming too easy for him, mix that with the fact that this fight doesnt have a huge angle for him, like Evans and Jackson.

I think I would have been happier if the Japanese Police Agencies were able to clean up the Pride Management at the end and Bust all the Yukuza that were trying to pressure the company.
This would have let us have the greatest MMA organization still putting on shows and not turned into the embarrassment that made the TV sponsors bail.
Both Pride and UFC were better when they were trying to out do each other.

What's next for our book club? Discussion is fizzling out on Amontillado.

Pride also held back on booking Wand against non-Japanese because they wanted the storyline of a heroic Japanese fighter defeating the monster foreigner. Let's not pretend Pride's booking was perfect.

I wouldn't mind continuing with the short stories just to keep things light and easy for now. Any preferences? Public domain stuff is good.
Ray Bradbury's "The Veldt" is online. I never read it before (I don't think) and it's well known.

I think it might be best to not get bogged down with anything too lengthy. Here's a good starting point to pick something:
World's Greatest Novellas
Best Short Stories of All Time
Of those I had previously been looking to read The Postman Always Rings Twice, which was apparently the inspiration for The Stranger, which was dicussed as a selection previously.
Up for anything though.

Did Tim accept your membership? I think Face posted a link to bypass his moderation on the previous page.
Yeah, I'm in there as Slade.

Are you reading Fahrenheit or are you on to something else?
Yeah, read Fahrenheit (3 Tito heads) and Chael's book (2 Tito heads).
Embrassed to admit I'm slogging through The Hunger Games to discuss with a lady friend, which has not been enjoyable as MMA-GAF favorite Jersey Shore. Mistakes were made.

I didn't even realize a card was tonight. I guess kind of like most don't realize Fuel TV is a network.

I'm a big audiobook nut and with it being summer work is slow as hell so i listen to books all day long. I've listened to about 40 audio books this year so far.
That being said i'll listen/read anything except textbooks and pure romance novels.
So if you guys want to pick out some classics I'm in.
I look at this as an opportunity to read some stuff I wouldn't normally pickup on my own

Ya, I'm open to anything, although reading Poe again makes me want to read more classics. And free online is good. Short stories I can consume during lunch break are good too.
Be a man! Tell that lady that Into Thin Air is a powerful survival story that will tear at her heartstrings.

Not on HD for me. Hard to watch things in SD. I want to see the septic rashes kiss when they wrassle.

Woodley doesn't know how to destroy anything.
Id like to give Moby Dick a shot.

I suggested Cask and I haven't even and time to read it and discuss it. I'm about to start Blood Meridian and that is pretty sure. Any free classic books would be good as well.

Read it and contribute to our discussion before we move on. It will take like 5 minutes to read.
I wonder if I still have my copy of Moby Dick from college with all my notes. It would be boxed up at my mom's house if anything. I think it took half the semester to read and discuss.

That's why you don't go for takedowns and try to pass guard after rocking your opponent.
The whole card is free here? Awesome
Good card so far? I'll join you for the main card brahs.
Sitting on my iPad. I'll definitely get around to it. I read the introduction and it has me interested.
