Controlled Chaos

Men will take a shot at any pussy they can get...

If I can make a small request. I love the wallpapers....would it be possible when doing the future months to keep the calendar in the same spot. Not sure if anyone else does this but I arrange my icons all around...so I can see most if the picture and the schedule and if that changed every month...Id have to move everything too. Not that much of a biggie....but figured if other people did that it would be a good suggestion. Thanks...great shot of A-Row

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) Email the team. They are awesome about anykind of a request. As a matter of a fact, a good Sox story from just recently... when we went to openning day, we stayed out in at the tailgates until about 45 minutes or so before the game started. We entered the park through the entrance closest to the Bullpen Sports Bar, where they were out of the magnetic schedules. A couple of days later I emailed the team to find out if it was still possible to order one. I got back a reply very quickly asking for my address, from Brooks executive secretary. Within two days of me sending them my address, I had two magnetic schedules. The PR department is just incredible now. to all of you guys. Thanks ss2k5!! I had the same thing happen to me opening day. I was pissed cause I have the last 3 years and wanted to start collecting them. Did they have them in 2001 or were they the reg size schedules back then? ANyway, after reading your post I emailed Brooks and Megan responed within 2 minutes asking for contact info so she can send me 2. Awesome!!!!

She got me a Movado and I got her a diamond pendant to wear the day of the wedding. I mean heck you buy gifts for everyone else at the wedding, why not buy one for the one you love. We never discussed doing it or if we should do it or anythign like that though... I just thought it would be cool to get her something for the day of the wedding...and then her cousin asked me before the rehersal dinner if I got her anything and I said yeah and she said oh cool cause she got you something too....We didn't do the exchange at the dinner though...we did it when it was just us two...It was about us not everyone else. You know your siggy the best...and if they would want tickets to a game, a watch, a diamond or even nothing cause they would rather save the money and spend it somewhere else....then THAT is the RIGHT thing to do. There are no rules...you do what makes you both happy.

I don't get nuclear physics either, but I sure ain't calling it stupid. What I'm much more concerned with is the fact that Secret Service was sent to "investigate" a f***ing college art fair. And the reference to the other kid who was "questioned" after making anti-war drawings. This is America, and you should have the right to draw anything you want without fear of government interference. Just like the kids who draw pictures of wiping out their classmates...Dam I just wish people wouldn't interfere with peoples freedoms.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) I just seen the coolest thing at my local bowling alley. They have a league that is dedicated solely to the White Sox and they have a White Sox bowling pin for the league...it is awesome. I am trying to talk them into selling it to me but its a no go thus far... I need to find one. Funny thing is though the owner of this bowling alley is a Scrubs fan so its funny to have to see him promote the Sox hehe I bowled in that league last year. I got the white sox pin. They have a big outing like in July I think. Bowlers from all over the state go and everyone is suppose to wear this cheesy jersey/t-shirt.

ahh gettin it on in the car. My buddy and I used to call it the spew spot. Man this is kinda messed up now that I think about it, but it was in the alley behind some hair salon on like 56th and Pulaski. The salon was like pushed back so you can park your car further in then anywhere else. We used to always go there with our girlfriends/girls. It was like our own little look out point. There were no lights over there...it was perfect. But, it was out of necessity cause I lived at home....Once there was somewhere else to go and do the deed.....I said bye to the spew spot. man this is bringing back some memories.....some good...and some of what I pig I was.... One thing is for sure though, I always, ALWAYS wore a rubber. Don't make that mistake again T R U...I dont care how well you know the girl

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 09:53 AM) A weak silver lining to this whole thing-- I'm sure this situation has caused many people to go out and make living wills. Very well could prevent this from happening to someone else. My law firm gave all of us(free of charge) the living will and healthcare power of attorney forms as well as detailed instructions on how to fill them out. They also made the same offer to all of our clients. They sent out this email which has some pretty good information: Healthcare Decision-Making in the News The Terry Schiavo case has re-focused national attention on the subject of health care decision-making. Ms. Schiavo’s husband and parents are fighting over whether the woman’s feeding tube can be removed. Her husband says she would not want to be kept alive artificially; her parents disagree. Ms. Schiavo’s story is heartbreaking for a number of reasons, but perhaps the biggest tragedy is how easily the dispute could have been avoided had Ms. Schiavo’s wishes been in writing. There has been a great deal of talk about living wills in connection with the Schiavo case -- and while they are important -- a living will alone would not have been enough to resolve a Terri Schiavo situation. On the other hand, a document granting power of attorney would have greatly reduced the conflict. Living Will vs. Healthcare Power of Attorney A power of attorney for health care is a document that allows you to appoint an agent to make health care decisions for you if you cannot do so and to indicate your wishes regarding life-sustaining treatment (thereby providing importance guidance to your agent) and organ donation at death. On the other hand, in Illinois, a living will, unlike a health care power of attorney, only applies in the limited circumstances of a terminal condition. A terminal condition means an incurable and irreversible condition such that death is imminent and the application of any death delaying procedures serves only to prolong the dying process. Even if you sign a living will, food and water cannot be withdrawn if it would be the only cause of death. Few people feel comfortable discussing end of life issues, and in fact, statistics show that the vast majority of families are not prepared for such an event, as the Schiavo case illustrates. When it comes to death and dying, even close-knit families can disagree on whether there is a right time for things like discontinuing artificial life support or removing a feeding tube. To avoid discord among family members - and a potential court battle – we recommend doing as much as possible to ensure that your wishes will be carried out. The best way to do this is to grant someone "power of attorney" to make medical care decisions in the event of your incapacitation and to write a "living will.”

We'll be in E too....Hopefully in the south east corner, but defintely on the east fence if possible. We'll have the bean bags out.

QUOTE(mreye @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 08:26 AM) I was in the UD and that was before it was enclosed. I usually can handle the cold, but that was just crazy! There was a bunch of strangers all grouped up togther trying to keep warm. I think some guy was feeling me up. Oh yeah, my wife tried getting ahold of me during the game to let me know that our roof was leaking. What a night! Well hopefully this year we can share a brew in the sun at the tailgate!!

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 08:10 AM) Just got my tickets yesterday...Club Level baby....no beer or bathroom lines for me! I can't f'ing wait! Tony why did you get your tickets so late? I'm only asking cause we also just got ours yesterday...it's been pretty stressful to say the least. We have 23 people counting on these tickets and you can only take a guys word for so long. The dude came through but man nothing like last minute...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Me too. 2 hours of downpour and wind. That was one for the ages. Me too...dry and feeling good in the club level.

Section 348 rows 2 and 3. Gotta go club if ya can pull it off...althouhg weather is looking on the uppity... We'll be tailgating starting about 10:00 am. Same spot section E.

Speaking of Opening day SS2k5....I don't want to hijack this one...but where is the usually opening day pre game thread?? Are most people going to be in the same parking lot...Somebody needs a big soxtalk flag or something that we can see

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 18, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) Chaos. I agree with all of your post with the exception of Canseco being the guy to head a task force. In his book, he basically endorsed steroid use. He changed his tune yesterday after hearing those parents say their piece, but I can't accept that at face value as a change of heart. At least, not enough to have him be the leading spokesman for an anti-steroid task force. Yeah Yas..I hadn't read the book, so I was just going by what I heard yesterday.,..and when they questioned him on his book stating that steroids will be a thing of the future...he responded by saying that he was writing about what it will be if they didn't do anything to stop it. I wasn't aware he was endorsing...

A few comments... First if I may say, I havent been so engaged in something on tv since the OJ Simpson trial. Let's hope for a better outcome here. On Canseco... I thought he came off as the classiest one there. If anyone should be heading an anti steroid task force it should be him. He has admitted to abusing steroids and can relay the horrible effects they have IF that is they dont just kill you outright. I mean if you want to teach kids about drugs, you get a recovered drug addict. If you want to teach them about alcohol abuse, you get a recovered alcoholic. You need someone who has actually been to the other side, not someone who is in denial about ever being there. On Congress... Man we have some characters in that bunch. I do however think they made some very good points. I definitely think there is something sketchy with the extra wording in that contract, as well as the leagues excuse of it just being a "draft". I just can't figure out why the league would do it...I can see the players association wanting that, but why the league?? Another excellent point by congress was the gambling issue. Man that hit the nail right on the head.(why didn't I ever think of that argument) Why can gambling be a one strike and your out policy and not steroids. Why is it ok to f*** up 5 times with steroids and only once with gambling. Are roids not as serious as gambling?? Id say death is just as important as the integrity of baseball and if we're talking about integrity...well cheating isn't exactly honorable. I can see leaving this 5 strike policy intact for this year, but what is wrong with saying next year...you get busted you're out. Every player knows the gambling rules...and guess what???...no gambling... Let's get everyone on the same page with steroids and guess what???....There will be no more steroids. Congress took a no s*** attitude and I loved it. My only knock is I think they weren't as hard as they should have been on Fehr. Some of those congress people repeated the same s*** cause I think they just like to hear themselves talk and wanted to stick their 2 cents in, but overall I think they did a credible job and as much as I wanted it to be....it wasn't a witch hunt. On Sosa... (Just like him me saying nothing says a lot...) On Fib Mac... You came off as the biggest loser here. Admit what you've done...then help people. You're sincerity goes no where without an admission. I wish they would grant these people immunity. I want the truth. I don't want to see them in prison for using steroids...but I want them out of the record books or at the very least a * next to their records. I wish when they were questioning Selig about removing cheaters from the books they would have mentioned the Frank MVP example. It has been proven Giambi used that year...you want facts without investigating Bud, there you go. Its straight from the horses mouth...Giambi used roids the year he won he said so. Let's start there!!!!!!!

Will players be questioned later?? NM.....just got my answer.....

Did I just hear him say soemthing about the tobacco industry marketing to youth?? WTF is this conference about?

I also have the dvd set. EXCELLENT SERIES. I thought it was better than private ryan. If for any reason, the extra detail and insight.

Mitch: ...and all I want to do is get some f***ing sleep. Beanie: Whoa. Whoa. Why the F-ing? Why in front of the kid? All ya gotta do is say "earmuffs" to him, and you can say "f***, s***, b****." Frank: Cock. Balls. Beanie: I'm just trying to make a point, Frank. You don't have to celebrate it. Frank: I told my wife I wouldn't drink tonight. Besides, I got a big day tomorrow. You guys have a great time. College Student: A big day? Doing what? Frank: Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time. Too many to list here's linky..... Old School.

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.
