Which one is that?

Band of Brothers.

I still haven't seen The Pacific either but I always felt Band of Brothers and Generation Kill were so good because they were either written by a guy that spoke to people that were there (BoB) or written by a guy that was ACTUALLY there (GK)

That's what I thought. Yeah, it's great.

However, The Pacific is much much better. Go watch it immediately.

Seriously? I've always heard The Pacific is good but seems to lack something that BoB had.

"You can tell that car was made by a German cause it has too much power, they've overdone it. Kinda like their French holiday in 1939"

Yeah, well... Those guys epitomize cowardly racism. I recall when they were being racists fucks about Mexicans; it was creepy.

Clarkson is the worst of them obviously, but they are all complicit.

I'm going to nitpick here and say that Ali would have a reach advantage but not a speed one. Mike was a freaking blur in his heyday. I think Ali developed lazy habits due to the natural speed/reflexes advantage he had over HWs and wouldn't get away with that vs Tyson.

Maybe "speed advantage" isn't a good description. Ali would be getting off first at mid-range and beyond, in part because he was really fast and in part because he didn't load up nearly as much.

It's certainly true that Tyson didn't have a great rival to define him (pre-jail of course) but the fact that he casually blasted the fuck out of whoever was put in front of him probably diminishes the perceived formidability of his opponents. He might have stomped an old Larry Holmes but I don't see it going much differently if Larry was young and Holmes is an all-time great.

I'm not saying that he didn't have a great rival to define him. I'd say that about Holmes--top dog for a really long time, beat lots of solid opponents but no really great ones. I'm saying that it's normal to see a really impressive offensive fighter destroy everyone on the way up and look unbeatable and then get kind of exposed when he faces someone who can outjab him and/or control the distance. You can say that Tyson was never tested or you can say that he was tested when he was just 23, and failed the test. That's probably where the difference of opinion comes in. How much do you discount the Douglas fight? My take is that I've heard the excuses, and I see some validity to some of them (the notion that a 23-year-old man with a nine-figure net worth fell apart because he didn't have a babysitter is one I dismiss, though), but that was the kind of fighter that I would have wanted to see him do well against to dispel any concerns. BTW, you can point to Tyson's win over Thomas as kind of dispelling some concerns, but really, that's the one fight that has me most convinced that Ali beats him, and probably by a good margin.

The Holmes matchup comes down to the same issue. Holmes could have done what Douglas did but better. But if you think that was just an aberration or not the True Tyson, maybe he could have won. It does seem to me that he was in a way training for Holmes for a lot of his early years and he might have had an answer, but it would never be easy because Larry had a much bigger frame and skills that would allow him to take advantage of that.

Also (to your other post), in ordinary circumstances, I tend to assume the jury does a good job. I didn't see all the evidence. The fact that he admits to equally horrible acts (like helping old ladies with their groceries and then beating them up and robbing them) but denies that is, I suppose, a point in favor of thinking he got a bum rap. But also a point in favor of thinking that he's a POS that you can't put anything past.

Wasn't sure where to throw this but thought some of the people that are more regulars would find this kinda lulzy.

Buddy of mine works at the Traeger call center in Salt Lake City.

He witnessed a legitimate hair pulling physical fight between two women in the call center. One lady was a lesbian and had been hitting on this other girl who was straight. Straight girl told her essentially "go away I'm straight", lesbian pressed harder trying to get number/a date to which it sounds like the straight girl told her "go kick rocks". Lesbian calls her a bigot at this point, fight breaks out with hair pulling and shit and sounds like the lesbian got her ass kicked.... then the lesbian called the cops.

Haven't heard much since.


I just think it's hilarious something like that would escalate to a physical fight.

I don't have to time to make it, but this is a great opportunity for a Buzz Lightyear meme that says "Pussy Grabbing Jokes, Pussy Grabbing Jokes Everywhere".

Lesbians are disgusting and violent, look up their rates of domestic abuse.
