and to think, on the 3rd day of Kwanzaa, you treat me like this? :laugh:

Let me remind of the 3rd day's principle
Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems, and to solve them together. :smoke:
Ok, Let's update the term to the 21st Century.....

ACORN: To build and maintain our abilities to pad the population count of our community; together we can make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems, and to solve them together.

I think anyone in the NFC playoffs can make it to the Super Bowl.. There's not one of them that hasn't sucked wind at one time or the other this season.

Of course there just going to be fodder for the AFC.

NO - playing poorly on offense and the defense is giving up over 400 yds per game the last 5 games, Sean Payton gets too cute when he doesn't need to and it ain't gonna work against good teams

MIN - no running game, poor pass blocking, bad defense and poor special teams the past month

PHI - peaking at the right time but still has lapses on defense and Andy Reid gets too pass happy too often

ARZ - also playing well down the stretch, much better than last year

GB - looks good except for the PIT game

DAL - possibly the team to beat right now, let's wait until after the PHI game to see

IND - resting starters hasn't worked out in the past so what makes you think it'll work this year?

SD - looks like the team to beat right now

NE - never count out the Pats, peaking at the right time, needs to play better on the road

CIN - limping into the playoffs, struggling to beat bad teams while losing to good teams

BAL - playing well but the offense shuts down on occasion and the defense isn't what it once was

NYJ - defense looks good but their rookie QB is playing horrible

It stood on the top of the hill, dominating the Russian landscape-menacing, impenetrable-the OGPU Prison.
They were told to take it anyway they could, with machine guns, flame-throwers, entrenching tools, their bare hands. They were used to war, to blood, death, the vilest savagery that man could devise... But the OGPU Prison was something different-a hell they hadn't met before...a bastion, an inferno that rained blood and butchery on Porta, the Legionnaire, Tiny, Barcelona...the men of the Panzer battalion who no longer had tanks...only a creeping barrage of death...

Just to be slightly serious for a sec... I bought "Wheels of Terror" back when I was in college, many moons ago, and I've re-read it a couple of times since. It was totally over-the-top and hopelessly unrealistic for the most part, but it had some redeeming features. The scenes of cleaning up after the British air raid seemed like they were written by someone who was there. The chapters on home leave seemed similarly on the mark. The chapter on breaking out through the swamp was also believable.

A few years back I bought "The Bloody Road to Death". It was done by a different translator, and I gave up on it in the first chapter, when the translator was putting Tiny's words into some sort of Cockney lingo. I understood the concept, but it just seemed ludicrous to me.

This past summer I picked it up again, partly because of your posts. I read it through and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was the first time, but it had none of the redeeming features of "Wheels". Mostly it was just silly, especially the stuff about Porta and the bear.

Seems like Hassel, or whatever his real name was, wrote one fairly good novel ("Wheels"), then decided he could spin it off into a franchise, and more power to him if he was able to make a living at it. That's not any easy thing for any writer to do.

Just a few thoughts I thought I pass along.

You need to read Legion of the Damned, much darker than the rest and Hassel is the central character in that one

Legion of the Damned seems like it was a stand alone book. Then when it became a hit he followed it up with Wheels of Terror and Comrades of War which seemed to follow the same view (broad front instead of narrowing it down). After that he began to churn out books regularly and they began to focus more on a certain area and time. The last book, The Commissar, seemed to be a rip off of Kelly's Heroes.

Tim Bowie became the translator with Blitzfreeze and continued through the end of the series. For some reason he felt the need to make Tiny a Cockney idiot and the series suffered. No matter how many times I read "'E's off 'is bleedin' 'ead, 'e is" I just gloss over it and speed read my way through it. I feel as if I'm watching a Monty Python skit everytime Tiny opens his mouth. :(

There was a website out there a few years ago which trashed Hassel as being a low life petty criminal in Denmark during the war. He was jailed and met some SS vets in there at the end of the war. That would explain some of the battles he claims to have been in. The site also claimed that Hassel could barely read and write and his wife had to jot down his "memoirs." His wife was allegedly in porn according to the site. Also, pics of Sven in uniform where actually his son in a mock up uniform. This guy, Erik Haesst, may be telling the truth but it is sooooo over the top it's ridiculous. :D

I expected LSU to play slightly better but I still didn't put many confidence points in it. I like Penn St so it's ok to lose that one to them. Better them than some dooshbag school. :thumup:

I figured Ohio St would get blown out since they had to go across the country and given their recent history in big games. It sucked for me in the pool but I like it cuz it makes the Pac10 look bad. :thumup:
