QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 09:38 PM) big·ot n. One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ. Green Day's song refers to a specific segment of the population as rednecks and idiots. They clearly have a prejudice against people who have every right to believe what they believe without someone else calling them those names. Oh that's right...because Billy Jo is referring to the rich land owning white men who have "ruled" the country for 200+ years we have no right to call him a bigot. *sigh* Indians and the Chinese represent a huge section of the world population, so they have no right to be upset if I refer to them by using racial slurs bigotted behavior is bigotted behavior. Billy jo and the rest of green day are bigots, plain and simple. sensational

R.Kelly sang maybe the worst song in history. It was so funny I watched it twice.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) Did you decide to step down from your admin position like ss2k5 and kapkomet? Admins have been dropping like flies recently, god damn. Yeah, Olympus was getting a little crowded so I reverted back to a mortal. Being the God of Correcting Typos just wasn't doing it for me anymore.

mislead much?

The AL East and NL West ones are awesome.

Broken Flowers is really bad. Really bad.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 05:46 PM) Thought Spiff's good opinion and insights should be included in this thread. At least somebody noticed.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 10:54 PM) Define standard scoring. It may differ from whatever the yahoo default is... The Yahoo standard is this, which is what basically everyone uses. His system makes no sense. Your QB gets a point for every completion, which means that is by far the most valuable position. Plus they only get -1 for an interception, where the defense gets 3 points for making the interception. It should be 2 and 2. 5 points for a fumble recovery?? 1 point for a field goal under 19 yards? 3 points for a sack? 7 points for a touchdown and then 1 for a PAT? 8 points? Makes no sense at all. It's gonna screw up everyone's team because the highest rated players in standard leagues aren't necessarily the highest rated in this league.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 07:42 PM) I don't think she is a duck, just a generic bird. and hername is Birdy the Early Bird. When the character was launched the idea is that she would be the breakfast mascot I guess. She looks a bit premature, IF you know what I mean.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) Pretty sure... Well I had to use that as a disclaimer because I read what he said about 10 times, and I still thought maybe I was the one who was missing something.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 02:51 PM) Useless & subversive. Complete & utter ignorance: Overturning Roe vs. Wade will not stop the act of abortion. If overturned, it would merely change "pro-life" to "pro-coathanger". If Roe v Wade were to be overturned then the partial birth abortion ban law would once again go before the court & be upheld. This act of Congress includes legislation not only defining a right to an abortion but regulation on procedures. I'm pretty sure you missed the point of what he was saying.

So who read this one? I finished it like a week ago but I was a big fan. Really interesting way of looking at the world. I especially liked the part about looking at every single part of the a room and remembering it, where most people just glance around and can't remember much even though they think they can. Not as good as Survivor, but close.

Good idea, good language, but you gotta get deeper. And the last line bugs me, it's like you're stooping to your opponents' level.

Now that one I will admit it was really good. A lot of her stuff I can't take but that entry was quality.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0534,gonnerman,67077,5.html Interesting read. I didn't know we were giving addicts prescription drugs. How about trying to get them to stop heroin in the first place?? Well, getting them to quit outright is the ideal solution. But if they struggle with it at least there's a way to save their lives.

Line drive down first base line, Konerko drops it in foul territory (edit: I should clarify that the ump said he dropped it while he was in fair territory), Blum has to go get it and throws it back to Paulie who drops it and Rodriguez scores.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 12:49 AM) I don't understand why you seem to think he's so bad at third base? Because he's bad at 2nd base, so multiply that by being 150 feet further away. That's why.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 12:36 AM) What's that one song in that one commercial? It always get stuck in my head, but I don't know the lyrics so I just end up humming it... Hmmm hmmm hmm mmm mmm mm mm hmmm mm hmm hmmm hmm. Anyone? its called life less frightening by rise against.

Wow I had no idea you could write third grade sentences littered with cliche and still somehow get a book deal. But then again who wouldn't want to read a book about Ron Kittle.

I'd be in.

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) Just to step back a minute, does anyone realize that she was also the one who played the teen daughter on Uncle Buck? Something about the smoldering pout she had in that movie got some guilt going for me... SFF "That's a dumb thing to do during flu season." Best.live.ever.

I was at the pool when our t-storm hit; what followed was pretty intense.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 03:00 AM) Had the same weather conditions happened at Comiskey, they would have gotten at least 5 in for sure. Fenway and Wrigley are dumps. Piss in the OF and it's flooded. Not to mention it was covered in sand for the Stones concert.
