Who do you think will get posted on this thread first...
 
 Britney Spears or Amy Winehouse?

They both look pretty dour these days, but Winehouse really seems to have taken to the smack. Britney is the imminent trainwreck, but I think Winehouse is the keg of gunpowder with the fuse lit.

dunno.  i think britney has a less serious habit (prescription amphetamines and laxitives aren't as bad as coke and heroin) and is surrounded by more people/care-takers who can intervene.  on the other hand, winehouse has proven herself to be a survivor.  i didn't think she'd last this long, maybe she's indestructable.  i'll give a slight edge to amy going down first, if only because the only person there to help her is in even worse shape than she is.

Back in high school, I was on the school newspaper.  One time, this guy from Sports Illustrated - William Nack - came in to talk to our class (he had two smokin' hot daughters who went to my school).  He told this story about trying to find and interview Bobby Fischer.  It  took him several months to track Fischer down and, when he finally did, and when he was standing just a few feet away from Fischer, Nack realized that Fischer had gone to a hell of a lot of lengths to not be found.  So Nack just turned around and walked away; without getting the interview he had spent months working on. I always loved that story.

Two questions,
 
 When was chess ever a 'sport'?
 
 Why am I not surprised you were a geek involved with a high school newspaper?

He died on 1/18/08.  1* 1 * 8 * 8 = 64.
