1. I'll be watching Ultimate Fight Night on SpikeTV tonight!

It will be the finals for Ultimate Fighter 4!

[Ekirh]

6. Watching it as well

Didn't Watch Ultimate Final this season.. but I always try to catch a free UFC show when it's on Spike. I'm usually not dissappointed.

[William Bloode]

7. Thats two of us!

I used to do this for a living(very similar anyway). I was also believe it or not was invited to fight in UFC 3. Ken Shamrock was out working as King of Pancrase, and they needed a Catch wrestler to represent the style. Not that i am so great, but it was held in Charlotte, and i was close by. At the time i thought it was a no where move, and not worth my time or the pay offered.

[Ekirh]

8. UFC. .

Was that the one where Royce couldn't continue after his match with Kimo?

I'm not a huge UFC follower.. but I do remember watching some of the earlier UFCS via tape rentals. I just can't remember if that was the one.

Stupid question, if you had gone, any idea who you would've been up against?

[William Bloode]

12. Yep thats the one.

I did attend the event live then. I was more wrapped up in trying to be a professional wrestler at that specific time. No idea who i would have been matched against. That was not determined untill right before the event. I woulda just got subbed by Royce anyway most likely, as i am about the same size as Kimo, or was.

[Ekirh]

14. "nods" cool...

never been to an MMA event before sounds like it would've been a good time though.

I'm more of a prowrestling fan thanks to my uncles and my grand pa. . but I like to watch MMA as a secondary whenever it's on. Heck I just bought my first Pride Fighting D.V.D recently (the 2000, Grand Prix) on a whim and so far enjoyed it.

[William Bloode]

19. It was a good time.

I was interested in having a look first hand at this Royce character. Never would have picked the skinny little Brazilian guy to tap out and beat big guys.

I was into wrestling first as well, thats why i learned Catch as catch can wrestling. That was the original style of the first pro wrestlers like Frank Gotch, Ed Lewis, and other greats such as Verne Gange, Lou Thez, and Stu Hart. It almost died as the focus of pro wrestling went from wrestling to entertainment. When i learned in the 80's there were only 3-4 guys in the U.S. who knew and taught real Catch Wrestling. Ken Shamrock, and i actually trained with the same guy, Nelson Royal, and Frank Gotch.

I think interest in MMA is a natural progression from pro wrestling. I hope you continue to enjoy it. :toast:

[Ekirh]

21. AND HOLY SHIT!!

What an ending to that fight!!!

Edit: I just realize that people on the West Coast and such might not be watching yet.. so I didn't give away an ending.

[William Bloode]

23. Lol!

Never rush in with your hands down!!! That was awsome.

[Pushed To The Left]

30. I'll be watching in about an hour out here in California!

Sounds like it will be pretty good! Thanks for not giving away the ending.

[William Bloode]

32. You are gonna love it.

Great night of fighting so far. Maybe not the best fighters, but the good match ups made for great fights.

[Pushed To The Left]

33. Just saw Scott Smith vs. Pete Sell!

That's the first time I've seen a finish like that! That must have been the fight that was referred to in the earlier post!

[Mojambo]

34. That's the best finish in UFC history, IMO

I re-watched it about 20 times. It was remarkable!

Just about every fighter will have their fighting computer just shut down for a moment or two when they are rocked like Smith was. Unfreakingbelievable that he had the instincts and heart to throw that punch. Even without that superb ending that fight was entertaining as hell.

I have to admit I kinda thought Smith was a chump coming into this, but boy did I misread him. He didn't look like much on the show. He's got big time guts and major punching power. I'd really like to see him again.

Lutter sure had a walk. Din Thomas could make some waves at 155. He's huge at that class.

[Pushed To The Left]

37. Almost a double knockout!

Probably the friendliest match of all time as well, with both competitors hugging and high-fiving as they pounded the hell out of eachother!

[Mojambo]

25. I'm watching it first thing when I get home

Now I'm gonna get out of here before I see any spoilers!

[Ekirh]

26. That's why

I quicky edited the post ;)

[Mojambo]

31. You're a good man.

I'm still kinda steamed about hitting a ridiculous spoiler post (not on DU) of the Liddell/Sobral fight a few months back.

[Reciprocity]

2. Star Wars weekend on Cinemax .

It’s a marathon of all six movies in HD.

[bigwillq]

:bounce: I love that movie!

[Maddy McCall]

4. LOL...I don't know what advice to give you...

but I love that image. :D

[reyd reid reed]

5. At least you get a choice.

:eyes:

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. I'm a bit stunned, actually

I expected replies along the lines of "WTF, dude? Are you crazy?? YOU WATCH 'THE MALTESE FALCON' AND YOU WATCH IT RIGHT NOW AND YOU WATCH IT GOOD!"

:shrug:

[reyd reid reed]

11. Nah...

we're all still too impressed with your thoughtful friend. You're movin' up in the world.













:hide:

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. George?

Y'know what's cool? When I made that photo, he was pondering "intelligent design."

[reyd reid reed]

17. Looks like he's ponderin' *something*

but with George, how can you be certain? I mean...

*ahem*

:shrug:

[Reciprocity]

16. They are all busy over at the, was this child abuse thread.

It never ceases to amaze me at what can cause a flamewar here.

[Mutley]

9. My sister and BIL

are watcing "Chapelle's Show" DVDs. I never really got into that show.

[Aristus]

15. Beautiful photo. She's the gorilla my dreams.

:rofl:

[reyd reid reed]

18. Hmmmmph...

I thought that was me.

You fickle, fickle thing, you...

[Aristus]

35. Sorry, Triple R. I got a thing for girls with prehensile feet.

B-)

[petronius]

20. 8 pm on Hallmark - "The Outlaw Josey Wales"

Starts just after the end of the "LSU thrashes Alabama" show - so my viewing schedule is looking pretty good...

Geaux Tigers! Go Clint!

[Generic Brad]

22. Choose Romy and Michelle

Yes, it is an inferior movie in every respect, but you will laugh your ass off. The "Maltese Falcon" has never had that effect on me.

[Auggie]

24. Maltese Falcon -- "When you get slapped you'll take it and like it."

[Generic Brad]

27. "I'm the Mary, you're the Rhoda"

< Romy >
THAT'S RIDICULOUS. YOU'RE THE RHODA. YOU'RE THE JEWISH ONE.

< Michele >
OH, MY GOD. I'M TALKING CUTENESS-WISE, OKAY ? AND CUTENESS-
WISE, I'M THE MARY.

< Romy >
THAT'S CRAZY !
YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF THAT YOU'RE CUTER !

< Michele >
OH, PROOF ? YOU WANT PROOF ?
OKAY, FINE. WHO LOST THEIR VIRGINITY FIRST ?

< Romy >
OH, BIG WOW !
WITH YOUR COUSIN BARRY... I WOULDN'T BRAG ABOUT IT.

This exchange is funnier than anything in "The Maltese Falcon" in my estimation.

[Gold Metal Flake]

28. Kelly's Heroes on TCM now.

29. Mulholland Dr.
