Search you tube for "referee gropes." Prepare to laugh.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 17, 2009 -> 10:09 AM) The Score would be smart to add Mac to Boers somehow since they are like BFFs. I think that McNeil and Boers are frienemies.

Chuck James would be a great reclamation project.

I bet that he once shook hands with Ponce DeLeon.

Only four more days left for nominations!

1. Whomever gets the #4 starter's job 2. Whomever gets the leadoff job. 3. Whomever gets the CF job. 4. Whomever gets the 3B job. 5. Whomever gets the #5 starter's job. 6. Whomever gets the 2B job. 7. Whomever rounds out the bullpen. 8. Whomever's in charge of Contreras' rehabilitation.

QUOTE (Sec101Row1 @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 11:51 PM) Ya know, he might not be a bad option out of the bullpen. Except he's slow as anything to home plate.

I wanted Gross at #4 for the Bears in 2003 instead of their trade-down Haynes/Grossman situation.

Getting back to the original reason why I started this poll... The first part of the second amendment was created because the rich men who founded the country wanted to make sure that the masses would be placated. When they created the U.S. Constitution, it was to show the citizens of this new country that they would not be oppressed by the government like England did to the Colonists. "No taxation without representation!", "No restricting speech or press!" "No mandatory quartering of soldiers or taking away weapons!" A militia was necessary because there was no national army. There was no official state army. Just the groups of men who got together and helped George Washington fight the British. These men remembered how the British would take over their lives and restrict their personal freedom. So, in case trouble was ever about, they could gather up their hunting rifles and muskets, leave their family farms behind, and fight for their new country. America is a different place today than in 1789. The National Guard and military reserves take up the slack for those groups of men. When their state and country need them for their 5th tour of Iraq, they leave their family farms, drive to their military base, are given weapons that the government has trained them to use, and go fight for their country. Do you want guns to be off the streets? If a non murder gun crime is committed, don't put the person in jail, send them to the military. If they mess up there, they get the stockade. If you shoot someone and kill them, you get the death penalty. Simple as that. If you want to own a gun because you feel you need to protect yourself, sign up for the Army Reserves. Learn how to handle a gun, and serve your country a few weekends a year to keep your skills up to date, then you can own one.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 09:58 PM) what the hell happened to this site today I don't know. Let's make a poll and find out.

It is worded in the definite "shall not". However, people only read the latter part in their arguments. If you read the entire amendment, it was written because of an immediate need of a state militia for personal protection and as a protest against Britain's attempt to control Colonist individuality. This was prior to national concription, so it is outdated. The only parallel where you can make a valid comparison today, would be if gun ownership was predicated on mandatory militia representation, i.e. each state's National Guard or military reserve branch. Thus, gun owners should be prepared to be called upon for state military service as an agreement for owning weapons.

My paper towels are on a side roller.

They could fix it by requiring every gun owner to enlist in the Reserves or National Guard. Kind of like a draft card, but only for gun owners and it doesn't expire at age 25. They're in an organized militia then, they can own a weapon.

Do you believe that there should be no infringement in the right to own a weapon?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 08:53 PM) Maybe because I had already seen the movie "A Christmas Story" 5 times by the time I was 10, but I knew what to do if that ever happened. Me and my best friend talked about it a few times growing up. Both of us did it, but our tongues came right off You were ahead of the curve then, my friend. Most ten year olds are finding stupider and stupider ways of injuring themselves.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 08:41 PM) Saying anything about the twins is ignorant. Come on...it's been an issue how many times and suddenly it gets changed? Minnesota had to have had a hand in it. I did notice that they are disallowing the White Sox "home" game make up in Bal, Cubs "away" game in Milwaukee situation. That's good.

The kid's ten. When was the last time you heard of a smart 10 year old?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 08:39 PM) Actually now that I've voted I don't really understand the question and don't know what I've voted for. Oh yes, and appendages of the ursine variety are one literal translation.

I'm poll-tastic tonight.

Boohoo! Poor Twinkies.
