What is the Cubs all time winning % ?

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 03:20 PM) True, actually several bottles of rum The person below me has thought about quitting their job recently TRUE. The person below me dreams in color.

QUOTE (JuiceCruz16 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 11:40 AM) Manny was so dominant it was a joke. Oscar looked old and stiff, time to hang um up golden boy. I still love a good boxing match with the strategy and endurance etc. The sweet science can be just that, the UFC has none of that appeal for me it's just tuning in to see a beat down. Boxing is woefully down, but i still love a good skilled showdown. Watch the Marquez/Vazquez trilogy special on showtime just beautiful stuff. Yeah I enjoy UFC, but it's basically just waiting til your opponent lets his guard down for a millisecond. Then you either put him a sub hold or you catch him a clean punch that stuns him and then you pound on him repeatedly til the ref steps in. There is no slow, methodical tearing away at your opponent round after round. Not usually anyway. Give me Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Alexis Arguello or Salvador Sanchez any day.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 05:09 AM) Apparently you're not giving any credibility to Pacquiao's countering ability, he's a sickening counter puncher, especially when fighting slower guys Being aggressive doesn't necessarily mean it's going to work when a guy who is as fast as MP is (arguably faster than PBF, due to his smaller frame) can counter pretty much anything, especially slower fighters I don't think he'd stand a chance against Margarito because I don't think his power would be enough to phase Antonio (Let's face it, AM is a middle weight holding a welterweight title), when Cotto seemingly reconstructed AM's face and it was like there was a Cyborg underneath his outer shell, cosmetic damage and nothing else I'd pay 200 bones to watch Pacquiao and Margarito face off though, even though (i think..) MP said he doesn't plan on going up to 160 A skilled boxer with some good corner advice will beat MP. He's beaten three great fighters at the tail end of their careers. Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales and now DeLaHoya. Good fighter? Yes. Unbeatable? No way.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 01:10 AM) TRUE. The person below me thinks that alcohol is the cause of. . . and solution to. .. all of life's problems. False and false. The person below me wishes they could start all over again.

I'm gonna sound like a hater, but here it goes anyway. As a guy who did some boxing when I was younger and as a fan of the sport, I cannot believe that no one has figured out how to beat Pacquiao. The man has no jab and he doesn't put his punches together. He throws few combinations, or very few effective ones. What he has, is perhaps the best straight right hand in the sport right now, or maybe ever. He attacks early and keeps bouncing and moving FORWARD and putting all his weight behind every right hand shot. His opponents are always on the defensive, moving backward and taking that right hand bomb. The only chance you have at beating him is to be the aggressor, by moving him back and not letting him set up with a steady jab in his face. By keeping his feet moving backward, you take away all the power in that right hand. A fighter will never beat him, only a true, skilled boxer can. DeLaHoya was that guy.....8 years ago.

I like curvy, even some chunky chicks if they're curvy, but the shot in the white bikini is disgusting. She's fat. She looks a lot smaller in clothes.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 5, 2008 -> 08:15 AM) The Ozzy thread makes me wonder... How hilarious would it be to have a reality show involving Ozzy and Ozzie? I mean, two of the least understandable people in the limelight, both with tempers, trying to understand the words coming out of the other one's mouth. How could that not be funny? Dude, that's a fantastic idea. If/when it happens, you should get a cut.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Dec 5, 2008 -> 07:56 AM) Eventually, famous people stop making money. The box office stars, tv stars, musicians, and athletes stop producing what made them famous and rich, and they just remain famous. They also fall victim to "handlers" who essentially rob them (eg. Don King and other agents/accountants). What can they do for money then? They often don't have a skill or education to fall back on, and even if they did, it wouldn't produce the sort of income they need to finance their lifestyles. So they cash in on their fame. I can't blame them. I'd say only a very small % of them are victims who NEED to make money. Another small group I believe truly does it because they love what they do. Like The Stones, when those guys hit the stage, they are totally in love with what they do and they mostly do it for fun for themselves.....and a lot of people still want to see them doing it. Most of the others are just greedy or weird.

I'm too lazy to read the play by play. Whats the deal exactly? What's definite? Thx.

If you have no money, sure, go ahead, whore yourself out. But WhyTF do successful artists do it? Are they thinking, I'm 50 years old and I only have 300 mil in the bank, I'd like to have 600 mil.?

Ever needed to take your shoes off at someone's home or at the airport and let's just say you're not wearing your best pair of socks?? I usually go Donny Brasco in those situations.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Dec 4, 2008 -> 02:47 AM) Yes. I've also been so tired that I've hallucinated and thought I was hearing things, like the door bell ringing and my dog barking. This was during a time where I had back to back projects to finish for school and was probably up for about two days, with MAYBE 15 minutes of sleep on the train. Wow, crazy. Yeah, after three 16 hour days, the last thing I should have been doing was looking at an Excel spreadsheet for two more hours. I was having a hard time driving home and was bumping into everything when I finally made it. Got a solid 7 hours of sleep, I'm feelin' 10 feet tall and bullet proof.

The Gillette, Good News, Pivot Plus disposable razor is king. Kinda hard to find nowadays. Splash hot water on your chin and face for a couple of minutes, then apply shaving cream. Then you need to wait a few minutes before you begin to shave. This is a good time to brew a cup of coffee or take a dump. Give the lather enough time to do it's job which is to soften your stubble up a little bit. Also, shower AFTER you shave. It helps to cool your skin from razor burn....and yes go with the grain, never against. Finally, after your shower, use a regular face lotion, not an after shave splash.

Duke, that last Portishead album is easily the most dissapointed I've ever been in a record. Maybe it was the long anticipation, maybe it's because their previous two are classics.

Have you ever been so tired that your motor skills begin to fail? It feels kinda like being drunk.

Is Chicago really gonna get a foot of snow this week?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 12:20 AM) False, sounds like a quick heart attack. The person below me knows a Serbian. False. The person below me believes that this 'person below you' thread could go on forever.

How about the tip pool at bars nowadays?? Where all the bartenders dump all the tips into a jar and split them up evenly at the end of the night. Basically, you're tipping even the s***ty bartenders.

True. The person below me will probably break up with his GF before X-Mas.

How'd he get it into the club? I guess clubs don't pat everyone down any more....especially not pro athltetes.

True and False. The elevator music versions, yes. Cool remakes by bands, no. The person below me once pissed in someone's shower.

If there is carpeting (and I'm not sure why anyone would have carpeting) I understand the no shoes rule. If there is flooring and they ask me to take my shoes off, I'd think they were a little crazy. I'd do it of course, but would visit as little as possible.

ok, so it's: Kim Chloe Courtney, I bet she has to work hard to keep the uni-brow and mustache off her face. IMO

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 09:17 AM) Coming from an ex-delivery driver, I agree with everything you just said. I had one lunch shift that I delivered an $88 order to a birthday party and got a big fat $0, the next delivery was $140, and I got about 2 bucks, and an hour later I delivered another $100 order and got nothing. At the end of my shift, I looked at my total delivery amount and calculated the percentage of tips I got and came up with 3.6 percent. To say I was furious would be a massive understatement. And I understand some people dont have the money to tip and blah blah blah. All I ever asked for was civility, and some people are just complete dicks about not tipping. the old 20 bucks for a $19.80 order and the "keep the change" mantra IS the most insulting thing you could do or say. The way to handle that 20 cent tip is to come back 5 minutes later with the 20 cents in change. It makes him feel like an ass to accept 20 cents back from you and you also made him get up from his meal.
