Post by: masterfins on April 13, 2011, 10:00:44 pm I'm begging, pleeaaaseee end the strike, so we can get back to rumors about free agent trades.

Yes, if you don't know what this is all about you most definately have missed something. I suggest you go buy/rent/download Monty Python and the Holy Grail (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071853/) Title: Re: What is the air speed velocity of an un-laden swallow?

Keep in mind that not everyone loves Monty Python. Most people either love it or hate it, there's not a whole lot of in between. But that's why everyone should at least watch once, to find out if you love it or hate it.Title: Re: What is the air speed velocity of an un-laden swallow? Post by: Frimp on April 15, 2011, 01:55:46 pm Brian, if you haven't seen Holy Grail, you must rent it NOW! lol
