Pods has been looking like a powerhouse! He must be juicing.

Missed most of the game. I'm guessing it was a bad one? I know we lost (are about to), but did they look absent again?

...there's a difference between indoor and outdoor??? How so? That seems rather silly. The Shamrocks are part of the NLL, whatever that is. Heck, I've been looking forward to seeing what the Sears Center is like, so this is pretty cool to me just for that. Sad that I am mostly interested in the place they play. Huh...just like 90% of the people at a Cubs game.

Huh...just saw the name of the guy. I went to high school with a Tony Abbate. Anybody know where this guy graduated?

A bunch of our neighbors and my family are going to the final game of the Chicago Shamrocks tonight. I guess this is professional LaCrosse? I've never gone to a game, never even watched LaCrosse. Anybody here a fan of this stuff? What can I expect? I was told to expect Hockey on grass, with just as many fights and just as much blood shed. Sounds good to me!

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 04:46 PM) Great episode/ Why is this show so good?! What scares me is that it is still getting better. It really is amazing how strong it is. The writers also seem to pick up really well on the little things that work, and I bet they stay very closely tuned into what people are saying. This would explain why we get at least one odd weird Creed thing every week. It's the fine little details that are making it so good.

Well...we're waiting!

I heard on the radio that through out all of his time on the DL, he has never had surgery. That just seems crazy. How do you spend all this time on the DL because you feel "achey"

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 02:05 PM) Well, here's one old guy that isn't saying run. Not saying get down on a knee and propose either, mind you. Go out and see how much you enjoy each other, simple as that. She may be telling you how it's all likely she's getting back with her old boyfriend, but know that a lot of that may be defensive on her part. She has tempered your expectations as to anything serious developing, but matters of the heart are always negotiable. She can also feel better about herself to think that she is 'on a break' and not that she was unable to keep a relationship together. Self-confidence and security is a tricky thing when you are 18. Yeah, but you're a "weird" old guy.

QUOTE(SnB @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 12:52 PM) as all the old people have already said, don't even get involved, it's not going to end up positive for anyone. Hey..."old people"...who are you calling "old"??? Oh...wait...

I'm thinking Ribbie isn't taking this very serious.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 07:29 AM) Anyone else having a problem with Firefox and Soxtalk? When I try and reply to a thread, there is no box to type the message. I am also having a problem with CNN video, It isn't picking up that I have Windows Media loaded. My wife had problems with Vista and certain boards. The problem was exactly as you mentioned, no box to type in. Our solution? We installed Firefox and stopped using Explorer. So I have no idea what you are doing wrong.

I was so pissed that I showed the girl the knife for no other reason than a "I wasn't doing anything other than protecting my ass because of this" type of thing. A ferret is a concealed weapon, I could have been in a s***load of trouble for having it, especially if I used it. I also know that knowing any form of Martial Art can and will get you in trouble in said situation. My best move was to keep it to myself, not get in the fight, and get out of the situation as best as possible. I didn't really want to fight, especially over this girl. I never carried the knife again. I did keep it in my car though.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxFan1 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 11:04 AM) Ofcourse this was always in the back of my head, but thanks because now after reading your story im a tad bit scared like hes watching me. You should be. It was a TERRIBLE time. If I went anywhere around the Carpentersville/Dundee area, he was sure enough to be there, and he was always seemingly looking for me. I swear, it had been about a year since I ran into him the last time, and sure enough he showed up, swearing his head off. I never fought him, due to his being psychotic. The last time I ran into him, if I remember right, was probably about 5 years after the date. I'm easy to find in a crowd, so he always remembered me. Luckily my hair has fallen out so now I look different! LOL!

Watch out for the ex. I was once in your situation, went out with her, ran into the ex., and proceeded to have the guy come after. I was at the friggin' mall the first time, he started pushing me around, threw a punch which I moved out of the way of and then I got out of there. Secruity caught up with him and threw him out of the place. She was all happy and impressed that I didn't resort to violence. I told her I didn't do it to impress her. I then pulled out the ferret I used to carry and told her I didn't care to go to jail for her worthless ass. I then left her and never called her again. The idiot was outside waiting for me, so I had security get me to my car and keep him around. The next year+ I would run into this ass in different places, and it was always the same, he would come after me for going out with his "ex". I kept telling him it was one date. They were back together by that point also. Just because she is on a break doesn't mean he is willing to be on that break, especially if she is saying they will probably get back together. That ain't a dream situation, that's a wacky situation, and one to steer VERY clear of.

Stanley rules. The bit with Creed and the apple, and then when he came out from behind the bushes.

I'm shunning everybody on this board. Shun.

I've heard that Imus has now "fired back"! What's he saying??? Oh please, oh please, oh please let him have come out with all guns blazing!!! I give it a week before there is a Hip Hop or Rap group named "Nappy Headed Hos" being signed.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 11:31 AM) I think I love you, but what am I so afraid of? No surprise to you, I am sure, but I almost did post a picture of David when I typed that earlier. So thank you for finishing my post for me.

QUOTE(Top Notch @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 10:49 AM) Was Imus wrong to say that on public radio? Yes. Are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton two of the biggest racists on this planet? Yes. Screw them all. Wow...only 6 posts from you, and you come up with one of the greatest things said yet on this whole topic! I think I love you.

I just did some desk straightening-up and cleaning. It's kind of nice being able to see my desk again.

The Cub fans here in my office (and they are season ticket holders, so they are not fly by night fans) all think it's very funny. We all agree also that it would be great to see the Cubs come back with their own ad campaign going back at the Sox. I'd like to see the two organizations turn this rivalry into something kind of fun. Back when the Sox had the infamous billboard outside Wrigley, instead of crying about it, it would have been cool if the Cubs had done something else. Let's hope this time they answer the challenge instead of actiing like whiney little brats again.

How bad was what he said? Well, when Michael Richards had his meltdown, quoting it in the papers looked like this: "N****R!" And on the TV and radio sounded like this: "BEEP!" What Imus said has been printed as this: "Nappy headed ho's" and has been printed as this: "Nappy headed ho's" Something funny is going on here. I personally think his word choices there are silly.
