Only overrated person I can think of is Pedro Martinez of the Red Sox,. Sure he's got great stuff for most of the season, but he's never really come through when it absolutely mattered the most. I know injuries have played a big part, but I don't think his attitude helps matters much. Another fine example last night in the game against Baltimore; one bad inning cost him the game, and so what if it was cold last night, stick with your teammates and watch the rest of the game with them. Pedro left after his performance, and was thus unavailable for comment.
Oh yeah, Rasheed Wallace as well. There has been a massive chorus of "Hallelujah" from us up here since that knucklehead got traded, and it's really nice he's been a model citizen for Detroit. Just wait till the playoffs when Sheed will pull his disappearing act at a crucial time. What a fuckin' TarHole

Bush, that band sure is overrated.
I hate Metternich, just as much as I hate Bismarck, but you're right he's underrated; without him, Europe would have been under French control.

I happen to agree w/ you on all accounts except for the 'Freedom' Toast; when it's fresh, it can't be beat. Also the stuffed 'freedom' toast at IHOP is tasty.

It's always amusing to see the local frat boys with their shopping carts full of those cheap things, no doubt ready to charm their dates for their evening with their sophisticated tastes. For the record, I do like those thing though.....:)

Between my roommates and I we have Digiornos, some generic Costtco french bread pizza, some mini cheese pizzas from Trader Joe's, umm some pepperoni pizza hot pockets, and then the rest of the freezer has frozen Mexican food and other flavors of Hot Pockets.

As lousy as they are, they cook fast, there's very little chance of food poisoning, and once you get over the faint aroma of death, it kinda grows on you :barf: :D
Nah, they're pretty good for el cheapo pizza, when you're not wealthy enough to afford a Dominoes or Little Caesar's
BTW, not to get :topic: , but the worst pizza I ever had was from this place right next door to W-D. It tasted like you'd expect generic-brand tomato paste (not sauce, past) to, and the slices were thinner than the carboard box it came in. That place didn't last......

Nice avatar on your part Tristan, I seriously thought about using him instead of MXC, and the blurb below would've said "What the HELL you starin' at" . Another seriously funny show that makes it worth the while when I actually get up early on Saturday and see that it's playing on Comedy Central (sometimes, at any rate). I find myself repeating this exchange between Bernice and Duckman "Duckman, I feel like a new woman" "So do I Bernice, but I'm about 10 bucks short"
Don't know if you've seen it, but there is another petition at the petitiononline site where a quite a number of fans have opined that this show needs to be released on DVD. Number 3261 here......
to throw everyone off in their overrated/underrated decisions:

stretching muscles? huh. don't get me wrong. i like L.I.T., but i think that bill got too much hype. now in ghostbusters, bill humor kinda gets overlooked by the great one-liners getting tossed around, and the strenght of the rest of the cast. fuck man, even the head librarian schmuck, and the electricity-nerd are good in the movie.

As soon as I posted that I thought "'stretching his muscles'? Shit, I need to lay off the Ebert and Roeper!", but basically I thought he was excellent in it. It's kind of like in Rushmore, where he puts aside the little one-liners and simply focuses on the character.
Oh, and I love Ghostbusters, fond memories of that (though Ghostbusters 2 was a bit much, with all that radioactive goo underneath New York City. Looked like Smucker's Strawberry Jam)
yeah... murray has his share of one liners, but the delivery in ghostbusters is top notch. he has yet to top the humor there.
