QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 04:28 PM) Eazy-E's gheri curl prevails. Are you kidding me?! Chuck Norris would bat an eyebrow and that pussy would shrivel up and blow away in the wind.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 04:28 PM) Oh heck, in Martial Arts films give me: Bruce Lee Jet Li Benny "The Jet" Urquidez Brandon Lee (watch Rapid Fire, he learned a TON from dad and Dan Innosanto) Jackie Chan Sonny Chiba Pretty much in that order also. You want to talk Kung Fu movies give me any of those low-budget flicks from the 70's. Everything from the dubbed in English to the funky disco music & overdone sound effects made em more funny and entertaining than anything.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 04:24 PM) Norris would lose. Period. Only the power of Da Coach can withstand the brute force of a Chuck Norris-delivered Roundhouse Kick. Then, Ditka would b**** Norris out, forcing him to have sex with Jerry Angelo wife. Chuck Norris's Beard meets Mike Ditkas perm. Now theres a match for the ages.

I think if the last 10 years with the scandals in the Clinton and Bush administrations have proven anything its that the public either doesn't care about scandal or they believe that both sides are equally corrupt.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 04:20 PM) Chuck Norris would roundhouse kick Tommie Harris into week 2 and the Urlacher and the rest would run like pussies. Then Tillman will get burned 1-on-1 by Norris, who threw it to himself, beat Tillman off the line, and caught the same ball 65 yards downfield. Yeah but what if Ditka was in the game?

At least that bad call didn't change the outcome of the game. Had it done so that would have tainted anything Peyton had been able to accomplish going forward............which would have been getting stomped on by Denver.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 03:37 PM) Segal was pretty bad ass in his early flicks. Then it just got tired and unbelievable. Especially when he put on all the weight and was still throwing people around Steven Segal is on the same level as Van Damme. That is.......hes a pussy.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 04:06 PM) Speaking of Chuck, did anyone catch him on Fox this weekend? They did a piece on the Superfans skit from SNL. They had actors 'auditioning' for the new cast. Cuba Gooding Jr., Michael J. Fox, Rob Lowe and Chuck were on saying 'Daaaaaaaaah Bearsss' over and over. Kinda funny. How bout this one. Bearsssssssssss versus Chuck Norris

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 03:26 PM) What percent of your annual income do you all invest? Right now something like 40-50%. Thats going to change whenever I get married but for the time being Im plowing as much as I can into my savings while getting everything I need and most of what I want.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) Social Security is a government program. It can't go bankrupt unless the whole government does. Maybe it wont go bankrupt but Im sure you agree that bennies will be sharply curtailed by the time most of us are ready to retire.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 03:12 PM) To say that doing an accent might be childish or even stupid is one thing. To say it's racist is something else. Childish I totally agree with.......and thats the point..........to have fun. If I wanted to make a racist crack about Ozzie Id be a little more blunt about it than the whole "Jew Bish" routine.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 02:59 PM) this quote is from The Consumer Federation of America http://www.consumerfed.org/pdfs/Financial_...Study011006.pdf It is hard to save money, but a lot of people under-estimate their savings potental. A lot of people are going to be in dire situations if/when the social security system goes bankrupt. I guess that means that 21% of Americans are blithering idiots. Anyone who is even somewhat educated about handling money knows that the only way to get rich is with discipline ( setting aside some money every month ) and the power of compounding. You mentioned SS going bankrupt and I think thats a very real possibility. I work under the assumption that SS wont be there and thats why Im maxing out my Roth IRA every year as well as putting money into other mutual funds. A wider point would be that even if SS somehow survives another 40 years so I can take advantage of it all it does is provide you a barest minimum of what you need to survive. After years of working I better be in a better situation than living paycheck to paycheck, barely getting by. I want to travel, buy stuff I dont need and spoil the living hell out of my grandkids and that aint happening on government cheese alone.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) NUKE, you should be aware by now that I not only respect your service to country, but I respect you as well. Yet, I can't understand why you don't see how offensive this can be. I mean, would you walk up to Ozzie Guillen and talk to him this way? If not, why not? If it's not offensive or demeaning then it wouldn't be a big deal. But, if in your mind there might be the slightest chance that Ozzie would take offense, then I have proven my point. As much as Oz runs his mouth about whatever I dont think he'd be bothered by it but thats pure speculation on my part. I suppose it could be construed as offensive but by those who are hypersensitive but that just goes back to what I said earlier. If you cant laugh at yourself a little bit then you're always going to be miserable. I get told the most blatant polak jokes you could think of when Im on the job yet I dont get upset, I laugh and then tell a MORE blatant polak joke.

QUOTE(juddling @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 02:25 PM) Remember...if you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris....you are probably secons away from death!!! If you can see Chuck Norris that means he took pity on you and didn't knock you into next year with a roundhouse kick.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 02:44 PM) I just know that even as a kid I thought Eastwood threw punches like a girl. This idea was formed the first time I saw Every Which Way But Loose, and he throws a few punches in that one. You want to counteract that watch Dirty Harry in Dead Pool. He laid the beatdown on at least 10 mobsters in that one.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) How ironic that there are two similar threads going on this today, MLK day. I think the radar is in hypersensitive mode. Not that I would, but I hope the day that I decide to get offended by something on SoxTalk, it gets the same kind of attention. Ive always been of the opinion that you're always going to be miserable if you cant laugh at yourself sometimes. Do we put this line of joking into every thread that comes around? No. Do we make call people such blatantly racist epithets such as k***, s***, n***** or cracker? No. People need to lighten the hell up.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) As opposed to running around posting stuff like idiots? Meh. I'd favor fun, but in a more tactful way. You know how this is going to play out... and it does make sense. I was thinking along the lines of your siggy when I wrote that last post. Seems like we have some posters here who could do well reading it.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 02:40 PM) Wayne used his fists. He punched rrrreeeeeeaaaaaaallllllll sllllooooowwwww in his movies, and looked a little less awkward than Eastwood does whenever he throws punches. You dont get to be a movie tough guy unless you can throw down with someone. Bronson had some old man strength working for him but I dont think he could hang very long in a fistfight.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 01:27 PM) Oh, Milkman's right. It *IS* an issue, whether you want to admit it or not. I'm not going to get all "authoritative" (yet) and say that it should stop, but shouldn't it, joking or not? It just makes the site look like a bunch of 14 year olds, and trust me, it doesn't need much help most of the time. Why do we have to be so serious all the time anyway. Way I see it a bunch of folks need to just lighten up. Theres no reason why posters have to walk on eggshells when they want to joke around about members of the Sox.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 01:24 AM) Does "Pathetic" even begin to describe the defense today? I'm trying to think of some better words. Somebody help me out. Tillman. Thats the word that describes the Defense today.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 12:43 AM) That wouldn't be a problem for you? I said satire. Thats not satire.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 11:55 PM) Username is a reference to a damn funny movie. Realized once and for all what a fraud Peyton Manning was.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 11:08 PM) Sudden Impact Al Pacino? Scarface Marlon Brando? Godfather Are you kidding me?!?! Al Pacino a tough guy?! He didn't get into 1 fistfight. NOT ONE!!!! Marlon Brando was just a fat b****, nothing more.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 11:01 PM) I have issues? Yes. But so far most posters here watched Bridges of Madison Country and decided that was a tough guy? I think they put that one aside and watched Dirty Harry or Good Bad and the Ugly.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 10:58 PM) Paulie Shore Bea Arthur You got issues.
