Soxtalk's Word of the Day
I just realized we didn't have a word of the day so here it goes: Drunkenness n 1: a temporary state resulting from excessive consumption of alcohol [syn: inebriation, inebriety, intoxication, tipsiness] [ant: soberness] 2: prolonged and excessive intake of alcoholic drinks leading to a breakdown in health and an addiction to alcohol such that abrupt deprivation leads to severe withdrawal symptoms [syn: alcoholism, alcohol addiction] 3: the act of drinking alcoholic beverages to excess; "drink was his downfall" [syn: drink, drinking, boozing, crapulence] Texsox went to the pub and drunkenness until they kicked him out.

Apparently I'm not 1337... I was trying to post a colorized gif2text of my Avatar... It failed miserably... Although it worked in the preview... Soxtalk must have some overflow control. I know I tried to post 101 smilies once and it wouldn't let me. Here's a link so that you too can play : GIF2text

Miles mentioned on ESPN.com
Prediction: KW will initially look really stupid for trading this guy away for Uribe. Miles will put up some solid number in the thin air in Denver. Uribe may struggle at first away from the friendly air. But long term, Uribe has more upside, and should prove to be a good trade-off for Miles.

i didn't expect anything out of MSU -- before the kansas game I said they were the most overrated team in the country. I really expected more out of Mizzou though. Actually they are still on pace for about the win total I would have guessed. I bet they are one of the teams to beat come tournament time though. The big ten though is looking terrible.. Purdue- a tourney team- doesn't make it to the second weekend MSU- needs to string some wins together to get into the tourney Wisconsin -- the only tourney guarentee.-- sweet 16 and that's about it Illinois -- they'll make the tourney -- sweet 16?? probably Michigan -- Higher hopes this year -- they're still not good. Minnesota -- Your best player is a freshman -- he'll be gone next year Iowa -- Could be sleeper team in Big Ten -- Could just fall asleep at the wheel though too Northwestern -- well they got one road victory in the big ten they might get two if they play at penn st. Indiana -- I've seen more size on a HS debate team, its about time they scored more than 50 points -- I was beginning to think we were in the pre shot clock era again. Penn ST -- Just bad, just bad

Best/Worst Commercials
yeah, but the music from the movie isn't really, some of it is. I know a bunch of it is from some band in san francisco.

Best/Worst Commercials
if you like that music, check out the movie Rushmore. It's filled with this pseudo british invasion rock that sounds just like the music in that commercial.

Mizzou has been terrible since losing to illinois, including losses to Belmont @ home no less, Memphis, and Iowa state... That's hardly a good win-- especilly considering that was thier first game outside the state of New York... I hate Syracuse and Jim Boehiem. They play at least 20 home games a year, so that they can reach the 20 win mark and be assured of getting in the tournament. Syracuse has yet to play a ranked opponent. how bout you take a john cheney, Tom Izzo approach, play anybody anywhere. MSU has played 6 ranked opponents -- 3 on the road. Temple has only played one ranked team, but they have only played 4 home games, with 7 on the road, compared to 11 and 2 for Syracuse, respectively. Gonzaga is far more impressive than Syracuse... thier only losses, two of them, have come on the road against teams ranked in the top 6, and they lost by 7 points both times. ACC does look like the stud conference out there, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't put a team in the final four. The tourny is a strange mistress.

my computer is F(_)ck3d
the only website I can pull up is this one. and I know It's not from cache cuz there's new stuff up here, and I can read it. I'm confused... Is the rest of the internet closed except Soxtalk? Oh and I was listening to an internet radio station, but I shut it down to see if anything else would work.

Best/Worst Commercials
FlaSoxx beat me to it, but she's the reason I call USCF by a different nickname than most do. On the way to Opening day last year, riding on the EL, they have those posters up for US Cellular, the ones with Joan pictured prominently. My friend pointed out, "that chicks everywhere". "Joan?" I replied .... I then pointed out that she was the main spokesperson for the new stadiums namesake. So we decided since Bank One Ballpark is called the BOB, and Joe Lewis Arena is called the JOE, we would call USCF the JOAN.

I was just reading The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2003. There's plenty of quality reads in there, taken from various periodicals and internet sites. There's quite alot of selections that would make good "required" reading for you HS kids.

Dolphins to name Marino GM
I was thinking in overtime they were putting him on camera more just so they could have more ammunition to fire his ass with.

I need to make friends with someone at borders... I had a friend who worked in the Music depeartment before, needless to say my CD collection increased dramatically during his time there. He didn't last long. Got fired for stealing.

Dolphins to name Marino GM
Slightly off topic here, but did anyone see Tony sira(whatever) "Goose" during the Rams-Panthers game on Saturday??? He added nothing to the Broadcast. His best quote was "Idon't know, I know what to say?" I was hoping he would get hungry and just eat his microphone. That way we wouldn't have to listen to him anymore. In overtime they just kept throwing to him live, and he coulcn't have been more unprepared.

Another coach rejects da Bears
I don't know much about Grimm either, but I'll say this, an O-line coach as a head coach would be a good move, as long as you get someone to work with the young QB. Look at Denver, it doesn't matter what back they have had over the past 10 years, they are a force because of thier O-line.
