Controlled Chaos

QUOTE(easyw @ Nov 9, 2005 -> 10:24 PM) Hey-- Does anyone know of a place where I can pick up some cheap, bootleg Sox championship gear? I saw a few guys selling shirts for $5 outside Union Station (at Jackson and the river) last week, but they're gone now. there is one guy who sells "official" stuff at Adams and the river, but he wants $20 for a hat... Help - I need to do some Xmas shopping and have limited funds I have seen people every day at Madison and Wacker...including yesterday. They're right before the bridge. I saw a sign there for 5.00 hats.

Paulie is a great guy. I hope we can keep him, but I understand him leaving if we don't get close to his offer. Another great article about Paulie was written in the middle of the season in the Sun Times. Talked about him studying Ted Williams and the art of hitting. Any guy that puts that much into his craft and cares that much is alright in my book. I can't find the article now, but I think I made a post about it back whewn I read it.

My friend had his real bachelor party in Vegas, but only about 6 of his friends were able to go. His best man planned it less than a month after I was coming back from there with my wife and some other friends. I couldn't afford Vegas twice in a month. So I planned a semi-bachelor party for him the night of the Dodgers game. I got 15 of us to go and bought the tix. It was a pretty awesome game to be at. Needless to say none of us caught a ball. I did have a baseball size bruise on my arm from some butthead stepping on me when we had a big pile up on the concourse after the homer...well maybe I'm the butthead for being on the bottom...who knows...I felt no pain that night. On another note....how the hell could you guys ask some guy who just caught the most dramtic game winning home run at a sox game all year, for the ball. No offense, but I would have told ya to get bent!! That's a pretty kickass moment whether its your bachelor party or not. Lucky for you, I didn't catch it....glad it worked out for ya. Oh BTW, Congrats on the nuptials!!!

Congrats Oz!!

I have an M.D. from Harvard, I am board certified in cardio-thoracic medicine and trauma surgery, I have been awarded citations from seven different medical boards in New England, and I am never, ever sick at sea. So I ask you; when someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that their wife doesn't miscarry or that their daughter doesn't bleed to death or that their mother doesn't suffer acute neural trama from postoperative shock, who do you think they're praying to? Now, go ahead and read your Bible, _Dennis_, and you go to your church, and, with any luck, you might win the annual raffle, but if you're looking for God, he was in operating room number two on November 17, and he doesn't like to be second guessed. You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something: I am God.

Bush's lies, it'd be at 600 pages by now, dotting the I's and crossing the T's and also giving us updates on whether or not he was lying about taking a s*** in the oval office toilet. Was that a two inch turd, or a six inch turd? Would you testify to that under oath, sir? These kinds of threads are always quiet around here...

hmmm...sticky situation any way you look at it.

Just seeing the Topic Starter as Steff and the subject being "I'd like some sex, with a side of sex.." kinda made me think...You go girl!!

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 01:15 AM) I admit, I judged the book by its cover. I thought this thread was about the new Paris Hilton/Controlled Chaos video that's been circulating. Finally, someone found those misplaced tapes I lost in front of the Enquirer offices. Tommy Lee take a seat in chair #2!!!! You Gone!!

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) George.. or Pauly. I'm in for a square on 11/11 Nuke. Oh, I love pools.... I'll take 11/14. That's when I predict the s*** will really hit the fan...hence time to blame the US and George.

Congrats to you and your wife!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless!!

Thank you!! The sox gave me the ultimate present this year!!!

Works for me!!!! Although, I don't think they'll give anything away that can be thrown on the field. Speaking of rings... The ticket rep we get our group tickets through said that he gets a ring? He said all the full time employees do. I find that kinda hard to believe , but I guess it's possible. Can anyone confirm? Steff?

I had this popup come on my screen when leaving si.com https://subs.timeinc.net/SI/bks_ws05_pop.jhtml Looks like you can order the book for 19.99 +shipping

QUOTE(rventura23 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 11:21 PM) forgot about all the magazines that will have the sox on the cover maybe another sports illustrated cover after pods Yeah right... SI is done with the white sox...Here's their cover on the first magazine after we won the World Series. Yep, that's the sox up there in the top right corner.

I'm also one of those that always told my friends when they were getting tats all these years, that if I ever get one it will be when the Sox win it all. I always wanted a tattoo and my mom was like "no tattoo's till your 18" Then when I turned 18 I didn't really wnat one anymore. Go figure....but I still always said if the sox do it...I'm doing it. So hear I am as well. If I can get a photoshop expert to help, I'd be grateful. I just want the sox logo with World Series arched downward above it and Champions arched upward below it. Then I want to put 2005 under champions and hoepfully can add 2006 and any other years under that....

This was so good I had to forward it on. I don't have Hawks email so I sent it to Brooks. Brooks, I would greatly appreciate it if you can forward this on to Hawk for me. I'm sure he will get great pleasure out of it. Thanks for everything this year!!!!!!!!! Best regards, Ben Ferenzi Brooks response: Proving that the media has no accountability. Thanks for sending this over. Brooks

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) Well, that may be, but is it too much to ask to point a speaker or two at the 1,000s of people behind the stage area? I took days off for the games or the days after the games, I was NOT burning one for a pep rally. Yep, I agree with ya here. They had music and s*** playing on the speakers all down LaSalle. Why couldn't they tap into that line when they started talking. Also the screen they had up was too low as well. If you were close enough to watch the screen then you were close enough to see the stage. It needed to be way up there so everyone can see it. Hey f*** it though...I was just at a WHITE SOX WORLD SERIES RALLY!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 03:37 PM) The part of the motorcade I saw was great. We were right where the trolleys stopped before turning onto LaSalle. Yelled some stuff to AJ and Bobby. The rally was s***. Couldn't get anywhere near it, couldn't see or hear a thing. The only thing I saw was a bunch of dips***s climbing on the Trio Video truck. I'd give the entire deal a B-. Its just like anything else...the earlier you get there the better it will be for you. There were hundreds of people lined up at the rally stage at 8:00 this morning. I'm sure they'll tell you it was perfect.
