Wow. His appearance on Conan this week was hilarious.

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ Jun 13, 2009 -> 08:49 PM) I'm pumped; I just signed up for this. http://www.payton34.org/default.aspx -- I was in search of doing some kind of race this summer, and stumbled upon this. I'm striking out in finding a decent race or two before then. Does anyone know of anything taking place in the northwest suburbs this summer? Thanks in advance. I just completed my first 10K, which was also my first race. I ran the Wauconda 10K this morning in 48:12. It was definitely a learning experience, and I could have timed much better. I was too pumped going off the start line with all the people and exerted myself much more than my usual pace. I admittedly walked a little in the middle of the race, and have a better understanding what I need to do in the future, as I anticipate this being the first of many. Great experience.

Only an asshole would say such a thing.

At work, a customer wrote a letter on my behalf and sent it to corporate and the CEO, complimenting the way I did things. Got an email from the VP last week and a handwritten note from the CEO today, with the letter attached. Kind of nice, especially since I usually only catch wind of things locally, when customers throw us under the bus for their idiocy.

One the brand new FutureSox layout (its stunning) and two, a secret surprise which will roll-out afterwards and remind some people of the good "ole" days. No one other than Mario and I know of what the 2nd surprise is, just an FYI, but it'll go one step farther in making our network the ultimate place for a White Sox fan. Bring back the podcasts.

Damn, you guys went into over-analysis of that commercial. That's the exact reason I used to hate English class.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Jun 14, 2009 -> 11:22 AM) This isn't new. Minor League teams have been doing this for at least 5-6 years, maybe longer. Apparently, peanut allergy is very sensitive and yes it would keep someone from being able to go to a ballpark. Simply the shells on the ground could trigger a reaction. I'm sure someone knows more about this affliction than I do, but I know it is bad enough that the stadium has to be pressure washed before the event. Yeah, when I worked for the Wizards (now the TinCaps) a couple of summers ago, they hosted a few peanut-free games. Those games actually showed a small spike in attendance too.

Happy birthday Dan.

No.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 04:58 PM) I brought this up several days ago in the chat... I am the last person to bring up the 2005 world series, this is actually only the second time since they won that i can recall mentioning it. The sox winning the world series forever made me a better sports fan and made me appreciate entertainment as a whole better. Prior to the sox being victorious in the 2005 world series i lived and died with every pitch, shot, pass. I was one of those people that you did not want to be around after a loss, which carried over until the next day. Being a chicago sports fan i was more miserable than i felt joy, which just made no sense. The reason we all want to be entertained, by any form of entertainment, is because for a little bit we want to forget reality and feel good, not the polar opposite. Basically, baseball is just a game (hard to believe at times, i know) but we have a greater game to worry about, and that would be the game of life. The majority of individuals care far more about anyone in the entertainment business than any of those specific individuals care about their entire fan base. Think about that for a moment. I agree with your sentiment on this one. I think the 2005 WS forever changed the way I view the Sox and sports, for the better.

Yessssssssss.

I miss the old Sportscenter.

Probably going to get flamed for saying this, but JM3 is bad ass.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 07:14 PM) So I had a near death experience today. And by that I mean that I was probably a few feet away from dying. Driving back to Chicago from Carbondale and my car just out of no where(might have caught the trucks back draft or something) gets loose and I had absolutely no control of it. It swerves left and then swerves right under a semi truck. So ya, we ended up under the semi, literally just a few feet away from getting ran over by the wheels. Now that you're alive; we need to catch a Sox game in the near future.

I just drink skim. Personally, I don't notice much of a difference in the different milks, so I just drink what I figure is a little better for me.
