All of the Russian scenes were actually shot in Wyoming, and this is to-date the state's most important contribution to society
I dunno man, it has a city called JACKSON HOLE near the Grand Tetons. That's pretty hilarious.

Otherwise awesome paper. I love retcon analyzing things about the Cold War. Did you know Freddy vs. Jason was really a metaphor for class struggle?
 
I just wrote it as I actually write everything instead of academically. I love Rocky IV to death though. And she's a Newcastle fan. She understands failure.

Jackson Hole is actually the most beautiful city/place in the world and I feel bad making fun of it even a little bit. If it wasn't 10 degrees outside there even in summer I'd love to live there. But come on right, Jackson Hole? And that is where it was filmed, right outside of there. That isn't Siberia, it's an American winter.

This is totally fucking stupid but I know you guys get bored so here is the full text of a paper that I am actually turning in about my favourite film of all time. I hope I get an A but if I don't I'll understand.
:lol :lol Good stuff... now I have to re watch it. For all of its logic flaws and terrible acting I still love this movie. I watched Rocky 4 as a small child and even tho Im older now and I can clearly see how and why this movie is so bad, I can't help but still enjoy the hell out of it.

VW is going to be the new DCU kit sponsor. $3.7 million per year - good stuff for MLS.

D.C. United signs Volkswagen to jersey sponsorship deal
Washington Business Journal

Volkswagen has signed a jersey sponsorship deal with D.C. United that will deliver as much as $3.7 million annually to the professional soccer team, making it the second largest jersey deal in league history.

The deal is expected to be announced this week, according to the Sports Business Journal, a sister publication of the Washington Business Journal.

The deal also makes Volkswagen the official automotive partner of Major League Soccer for an additional $1 million to $2 million annually.

Officials with MLS declined to comment. MLS has been without a major auto sponsor since Honda ended its relationship with the league last year.

Volkswagen Group of America recently moved its corporate headquarters from Auburn Hills, Mich., to Herndon.
 
Well I appreciate a teacher who can accept some humour, I'd have been absolutely slammed by mine if I'd written:

All of the Russian scenes were actually shot in Wyoming, and this is to-date the state's most important contribution to society.

I feel that the movie had a large impact on political policy as Rocky's concluding speech showed politicians that they could all change and it is no small wonder that it took only four years after the release(the time it took the movie to make it into Russia) for the Berlin Wall to fall and communism to be over with.

eloquent elocution

Delete the 3 "very"s and I reckon you'll go up a grade.
 
Yeah it's shite but what can I do? It's due in 42 minutes! And the pizza I ordered isn't here yet, fuck papa johns. I got rid of the very's and replaced them with super extremly's.
 
Yeah, their jerseys will have the VW logo on 'em. Good news that they're kicking some cash into MLS, as well. I wonder how that fits in with Honda doing some sponsorship, too.

Go Rangers!

What is the theme of the essay? What is the conclusion? I want Papa John's.

I hear they've scheduled a friendly in the Sudetenland for next season as well.
Heh. Their obsession with Argentinean players is starting to make sense, as well.

Rangers still holding on - they still don't have a shot, according to the match tracker.
 
You know, there'll probably be 10 English players starting in the CL final, if everyone stays fit. For Chelsea there's Terry, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole and Lampard, for United there's Brown, Ferdinand, Hargreaves, Carrick, Scholes and Rooney. I can't really see any of them not starting if they're available, at most one would drop out (Hargreaves perhaps, if United decide to play a 4-4-2).

So much for English players not being good enough or not playing at the highest level because of the foreigners in the Premiership. I can almost put out an entire English team of CL finalists, it's only missing a keeper:

Brown-----Ferdinand------Terry-----A Cole

---------------------Carrick-------------------

Hargreaves---Scholes---Lampard---J Cole

---------------------Rooney-------------------

Also 220 English players have played in the Premiership so far this season apparently, so what the hell would quotas do for anyone?

It's not something to worry about, it has zero chance of standing up in a European court, but it's annoying.

Would that English 10 be able to beat the corresponding foreign 10?
fat chance

Mama Smurf said:
I doubt he'd even be on the bench anyway, but I was just going for players I think will start.
Oh. Well still, he's started a game for them this season, ya know?

I dunno, Ronaldo's a pretty big blow.

Essien---Carvalho---Vidic---Evra

---------------Makelele------------

------------Park----Ballack--------

Ronaldo----------------------Kalou

----------------Drogba-------------

The point, however, is that English players are getting good chances at the top.
 
Red Bulls vs. Toronto tonight on ESPN2. I think Angel is back in the line-up but let's see if Toronto is charged up from their last 2 games. Guevara adds some serious offensive power to their squad.

No doubt. It'd be a good match but I think Ronaldo tips it for the foreigners.

Should be a good one. I have way too much going on tonight w/ GTA4 just arriving, Lost, this game, etc...

the foreign team are all metrosexual diving pricks(cept ballack)
Pfft. Essien, Vidic, Makelele...
 
I don't think Cuellar will be a Rangers player this time next year.

Australia's been a pretty good hunting ground for footballers in recent years. Schwarzer, Neill, Bresciano, Kewell, Viduka, Cahill, Emerton, Bosnich...wouldn't surprise me to see more and more come to Europe's top leagues.
 
Sorry Rangers, teams I want to win penalty shoot outs don't. Doesn't matter if I support them, I just need an inkling either way and they'll lose.
