Wow...no award for O'Toole!

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 10:52 PM) i liked ellen, and those dancers were awesome. Eh, I've never liked that type of dance stuff. They might be swell and all, I just don't like it. I thought Devil Wears Prada was supposed to suck BIG eggs.

1. I like Ellen, I guess, but I agree, where is Steve? 2. I think how little Ellen is on screen is why there is no Steve. 3. I don't "get" Al Gore. Am I the only person to feel like he is constantly acting? 4. Too many film clip thingys. 5. The iimpressionistic dancers are REAL annoying. 6. Etheridge used a TON of backing tracks for her "live" performance. 7. Nice to see Eastwood so well prepared to deliver his friend Ennio with a lifetime achievment award. 8. I didn't know that it was really Will Smiths kid in that movie with him. Oddly, that makes me want to throw the f**k up.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 08:11 PM) We don't have as much out my way, but it is accumulating a bit, even on the street now. I put the dog out, she freaked out and came running back in. She then decided to go back out 10 minutes later. When she went back out that second time, there was absolutely mo trace of her having been out there the first time.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 07:42 PM) Good luck to the Mrs. for her drive home, Kid! My wife's out there tonight, too - she gets off work at 9:30, and she promised her sister she'd stop by her house to bring in her mail and feed her cat. I'm a LITTLE concerned, but not too much right now. Good luck to the lady also! Yup, looking out my window...we have a fulll fledged blizzard out there!

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) F*** that damn Groundhog!!! At least it's happening on a weekend and not during the week where we have to deal with it during rush hour. Normally I would agree with that. But in my case my wife is a nurse and works every other weekend. She works a 1/2 hour from home and won't be leaving work until midnight. It's a long, desolate drive back home. I called her and told her she might want to stay at a hotel tonight.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 01:57 PM) Am I the only one that thinks this Vote For the Worst thing is stupid and just wish it would go away? I enjoy it for the fact that it helps with the train wreck TV aspect of Idol.

Do you remember a few years ago when Amazon.com and all of the online sites failed at getting the Christmas orders out on time, and channel 5 ran a piece on it? The lady they interviewed about it all is my sister. I've never been on TV. I am still trying to get my wife to agree to videotaping...but she still says "no".

Avoid it until you have kids who are about 9-14. You will only be able to fully enjoy it if you are there to live through them a little bit.

Yeah, he is kind of typecast, but I think it's because he does it so damn well, and is always so likeable. I've never seen that documentary. The other night I finally saw a movie most people are shocked to hear I have never seen. I finally saw The Goonies. It was a decent movie, and my daughter loved it, but I don't feel like I have missed out on anything.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 23, 2007 -> 10:02 AM) The problem I have had trying to use it at BK is no electric outlets. Something about that statement seems silly.

I've heard many times that the worst thing you could put in your system, as far as the fast food joints are concerned, is the "taco meat" at Taco Bell. That alone scares me more than any furry little creatures can.

Why are we asking if he has ever played an American? I like Hugh, always have. I used ti like Barrymore. Now I pretty much can't stand her. But...as much as I hate to say it...I kind of want to see that movie. I can wait until DVD though.

Well, to further prove that they are behind it, this is from the site:

One of the best Dwights for sure tonight. I know Toby pretty much mentioned to Pam his feelings, but I can't remember if he actually asked her our though.

Well, www.votefortheworst.com is back at it. I am guessing that explains Antionella being around still.

QUOTE(CrimsonWeltall @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 08:01 PM) All of the players are on the same team trying to beat the game. It's like D&D in the sense that you have characters with stats and you roll dice to determine success in actions, yes, but otherwise, no. Cool! Thanks for the info! I'm going to look into it for sure!!!

QUOTE(CrimsonWeltall @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 07:40 PM) It's a cooperative game where the players and run around Arkham and various other worlds to investigate crazy stuff and kill monsters. What is a "cooperative" game? I'm a HUGE Lovecraft fan, so this game looks like it would be right up my alley. Is it a Dungeons and Dragons kind of game?

Hmmm, Antionella is banging somebody in charge.

Oooooooooo, Arkham Horror!?! What in the name of The Old Ones might that be???

The problem with Battle Of The Sexes (and my wife and everybody I know of agrees with me), is that most of the "male" questions are simple, but the ones for the women are impossible. The women always win.

Every Cranium game is great! We have a bunch of them. It started as the one game, but it became so big they expanded into a bunch of games. The Kids Cranium is probably more fun that the original. Balderdash is also great. I wish I could remember all of the ones we play, but we change it up so often I forget which ones I really enjoy. As far as simple "strategy" games go, I love Mancala.

QUOTE(joeynach @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 09:34 AM) I thought I would take this time to tell you guys some information that’s going to be important in getting to sox games come April. I work for a leading as a Civil Engineer for a leading Transportation Engineering firm here in Chicago. We provide consulting services for design and construction of various transportation projects, one of which we have (along with many other consultants) is the Dan Ryan construction. I personally do not work on this project, but I was doing some field work with the crew the past couple days and came across some useful information. First of all the Ryan is going back to bigtime reduction starting March 1st. All the local lanes will be closed from 29th to the Skyway in order to finish the construction to the retaining walls, local access ramps, and reconfigure the lanes to match the new future lanes and alignment to the south section from 67th to 95th. The schedule for this is from March 1st to I believe November or December. It’s basically going to be the same thing as before when the Ryan was Reduced to reconstruct the Express Lanes (April 2006 to November 2006). That portion I was told actually finished 6 weeks ahead of schedule as it wasn’t slated to finish until December 31st 2006. Since it finished earlier it moved the schedule to reconstruct and finish the local lanes and south section of the Ryan, which was also originally scheduled to begin April 2007, now is moved up to March 2007. The entire south section is going to be gutted and reconstructed and a 5th lane added to 95th street, but I don’t know the timeframe for that. My job was to take a look at the Alternate Routes set up and check the signals. The Ashland Avenue route has been configured to give progressive green signals as you drive the entire stretch from 95th St to Congress, same with the Stoney Island route. It seems to work OK, took me about 35 min to drive the section on average. Furthermore, there are some problems with the 33rd St bridge construction. It was supposed to be ready by April 1st and ready to connect to the Red Line stop there was well. I know the sox route cars off the Ryan into the lots via crossing over on 33rd St, but it won’t be ready by opening day. The problem was the severe cold weather over the past month or so. It seems when they were laying down the steel beams that span the bridge, that support the road deck, the connector plates holes for bolting them together shrunk. I was told extreme cold such as the -30 wind chills we had, which they don’t work in anyway, can shrink the diameter of the holes in the connector plates that secure the span beams from each side. So new parts had to be ordered to let the beams, already in place, make a secure connection to the plates. That process put the project behind schedule by at least 3 weeks. So they you have it sox fans. If I hear anything else Ill let you all know. Who are you with? I also work with an Engineering film. PM me if you would rather.
