I still go by the 30% rule.
What does that translate into in terms of uses? Does everyone get, say, ten? And do they get replenished once in awhile or is it a one time only deal? This is important because I don't want to go on the record as agreeing with him if I've only got a finite number of get out of Hoy jail cards.

Naw. It's just an average over time. If he's right at a higher rate, it just means that later he'll be even more astoundingly wrong than usual.

I wonder if the guys behind PECOTA can help us out on this.

Eumaas is at 5%. In fact I don't remember what we agreed on. Maybe Debaser
Gutter is at 30%. We have Rock and Roll High School, anti-saves, boobs, and Debaser.
Flex is a solid 40-50%. We have Bruce.

Hooks, I think you are at a Eumaasian level.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Thank you, Mate. Yeah, Hooks - I forgot to mention that that 30% is adjusted for Gutter factors.

I knew there was a reason why I love Gene like a brother.

Are you really my pro-CR (to some extent) ally?

And Gutter, you also appreciate the Reese's right?

Did you know Flex's Comics/Television vs. music splits are ungodly?

And yes, I do love the Reese's. You don't actually pronounce them Ree-Sees, do you?

Ree-sees? Hell no.

Ungodly good?

On CR and GEER, yes, we share space in a venn diagram. One of the great things about eumaas is that he and I disagree on so much, yet our fear and loathing at your choices and ambitions trumps it all.

You know what would make that song suck more? If Bruce did it. (A lazy swing at a fat pitch down the middle …)

Fact: The '83 Demos are better than Cut the Crap.

By the transitive properties, the '83 Demos are better than Combat Rock. As for the BAD calalog, give me some poorly recorded rock n roll over cheesy synthesizer music any day of the week and twice a day in the month of Smarch (a twist on a classic saying!).
Your facts smell like the opinions of a urine-soaked hobo who yells at his feet.
I agree, CR is clearly better than GEER.
Yeah, and Hitsville UK is the pinnacle of Clash song writing.
