Official General OT Thread/Whatever floats your mind thread 

Post#1 » by Basti » Tue Aug 24, 2010 9:47 pm

Hi Folks,

in partnership with the Timberwolves Mod Crew I thought it would be cool to have a general OT thread to discuss all things unrelated to Timberwolves Basketball. feel free to post whatever you want - as long as it abides the terms of service obviously.

this however doesn't mean you can create topics about stuff you kinda desperately want to know, i.e. if someone wants detailed information about the Twin City area or someone needs help from someone else and is concerned it might get lost in this thread, go ahead and post it. you should think twice about that though ;)

also we decided that we (or rather the Timberwolves Mod Crew ;)) wouldn't necessarily lock threads because of our infamous thread derailing - as long as it's a good one. keep the quality thread derailing up and everything will be fine ;)

so there you go. have fun posting.

I just found out I can lock my own threads even when they're not on the Soccer board. I wonder if I could unlock them again...

"From an aeroplane, one has the opportunity to see the whole circle of the rainbow, with the plane's shadow in the centre. This phenomenon can be confused with the glory, but a glory is usually much smaller, covering only 5–20°."

from the Wiki article on rainbows.

I'm thinking this is some kind of Masonic double- or triple- speak, and that the people who inserted this factoid into the wiki article are indeed in league with said previous youtube videographer.

Keep your eye on the donut, not the hole! (?)

Everything wrong with Tranformers can be summed up with this picture.

Pretty sad when Shia is the most talented one of the bunch.

*POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT*
















thinking the remake of the A-Team couldn't get any worse, I just read an article about the movie stating that B.A.'s Van doesn't last long as it gets destroyed early in the movie and that B.A. is a fan of Gandhi and he preaches non-violent action.

how could you possibly destroy such a great tv show so badly??? if I had to watch that movie someone would have to pay me a decent amount of money.

Speaking of movies....no one waste your time and money on the expendables. So horrible it's ridiculous. Sylvester Stallone directed the thing and that's all you need to know.

Your last sentence seems to contradict your first 2.

I bet he meant it as a warning for us after he made the mistake of paying to see that movie.

I refuse to believe Sly Stallone can make a bad movie. I haven't seen one yet.
