    nfl wild card predictions

    Seattle over Washington. The 'Skins didn't beat any great passing teams on that win streak. Holmgren has been there before and certainly more recently. Giants over Bucs. Defense wins and that line is dominant. Plus, I am picking the Giants to be the NFC team that loses the Super Bowl...

    When did you discover Bukowski?

    My angry irish drunk friend, named Gene, lent me Post Office. This was sometime after highschool in the early 90's. This forum was helped rekindle my interest and now I am rereading Women.

    He makes me feel like the dishonest cheat that I am. And I hate him for that.

    Last CD you bought/ Book you read

    I just bought today Book - The Birth of the Nazis by Nigel Jones. I can't read fiction anymore...unless it is fiction based on a lot of truth. I guess we call that non-fiction. It's funny I am reading all the textbook type shit I wouldn't read in school to further my education. This...
