UM, are you now part of The Takeover too? The whole DC area is set to belong to both Gilbert and Dan Steinberg soon.

i will tell this story everytime so people know it - Will (the editor of this site) didn't kick me off... those Gawker people kicked me off for saying someone's mom gave me herpes. that's not even that bad of an insult! Will (the editor of this site) was nice enough to immediately reinstate me, much to the apparant chagrin of... EVERYONE on here?

hey, if it's to the point where even Unsilent Majority wants me off (he's always seemed to be fine with my comment), then so be it. I guess my whole deal was entertaining at first, but now has apparently worn thin as I seem to have everyone against me so... yeah. I'm a big boy, I know the score. My striped shirt is buttoned up properly.

Dammit Supermike2, I knew I should have used the sarcasm tag. Believe me, if anyone appreciates dark humor, it's me. I was just making a comment about how you got the axe before so it might happen again. I actually think it'd be amusing to see how many Supermikes we could get. Kinda like Snowball the cat in the Simpsons or Kenny from Southpark.

i am bulletproof.

i quit smoking (probably 1/2 pack-a-day on average for 10 years or so) in May of 2005. one day, i forgot my cigarettes at home, so i just stopped. had never tried to quit before.

i won't say anything about it changing my life - it's not as life changing as, say, Tivo or shrooms - but it certainly makes some things better. The price of cigarettes these days is worth it, alone. I still have dreams where I smoke.

+1 UM for the first actual laugh of the day.

Iracane's probably just waiting for the day he pulls a PR&G and gets to hand Supermike his red card.

people still smoke? what the hell? in 2007? quit now, ask me how...

now that i'm a non-smoker, i apply the same brand of scorn to smokers with which the non-smokers used to apply to ME back when i puffed many camels!!! it's great.

I'm really surprised Busta knew what year it was, I haven't heard anything about him in a long time. He should have a spin off of the "unfrozen caveman layer", but for rappers of course.

He just had a number 1 album in 2006.

That ice sculpture's kind of freaking me out. It's got an Eric Stoltz circa Mask look to it.

I think it looks like something you'd see in a Tool video.

I went with a black shirt with gray stripes, black and silver cufflinks. My grandfather's old movado, my cousin's Bruno Magli's and black slacks.

I lost some respect for Busta when he performed at Amsterjam this past year wearing tshirts promoting his new album. Then I went home and watched Higher Learning and got back whatever respect was gone from earlier.

I heard DWade showed at the party and touched the ice sculpture, which resulted in Arenas being called for a foul.

Gilbert strikes me as the kind of guy who really enjoys what he does and is legitimately surprised that people like him for it. Good for him, I hope he keeps that humanity about him.
