Just got back from seeing Santanna at the taste. We were pretty far back and couldn't hear s***. Last night I saw the Black Crowes and Tom Petty at Summerfest. The Crowes kicked major ass, although you couldn't make out anything Chris was singing. If you're a big Petty fan, he puts on a fun show. He plays only his hits, talks to the crowd a lot and does a lot of 'sing along' stuff.

Tell me something, if Floyd is so great, why does everyone only want to hear them play their 2 or 3 'super hits' ? The most extremely over rated band ever, IMHO of course.

Since we agree that they will always have the fans vote and that a lot of times the most deserving players aren't always chosen, why not just re name the event. It's not really an all star game. I think calling it that it was really bothers a lot of fans.

The greatest as in it includes pop artists that have sold a ton of records, yes.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 04:32 PM) I don't need to be on the phone for this to happen. Me too, especially if it's a route that I drive often, like to and from the gym. I'll just space out for like 10 mins. then suddenly re focus and realize I'm almost home, but will have NO recollection of where I've been for the past 10 mins. For all I know, I could be dragging bodies from the rear bumper.

what is unlawful restraint and in what situation is unlawful restraint of a minor by itself a sex offense?

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 03:55 PM) Ah, yes, the wonderful contribution of the Psychological study of attention to real world applications. Anyway, I also think there should be a wholesale ban on cell phone use while driving and this is just an ill-informed piss poor attempt. What about in emergencies? It'll never pass, but I see your point.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 03:48 PM) You're a badass to make that bold prediction. I salute you. I'm a believer and if you're a believer, it partly means thinking you can win against the odds. If you ask most 'experts' we're probably the 5th most talented team in the AL (not talking about wins and losses here), so we will be the underdog in the post season, not matter who we face. The Sox might as well get used to playing and winning the 'not supposed to win' games.

I'll stick my neck out and say we'll take 2 in Oak. this weekend If this team is playoff bound, they gotta step up in 'games not supposed to be won' situations.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 03:20 PM) Right now its only in the City of Chicago...your still free to drive recklessly with a cell phone everywhere else Nice.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 03:15 PM) :headshake What happened to common sense? It's the least common of all senses.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 03:14 PM) Please stay off the phone while driving. I agree, but it's never gonna happen.

Actually, I read that even just 'mooning' someone could get in the same trouble. It's considered 'exposing' yourself to someone. If you get someone who wants to screw you and take it as far as it can go, you could end up on a sex offender list.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) Its pretty stupid actually. Studies have shown that it isn't really the act of getting the phone, it is the talking on the phone distracting you from driving that is the problem. A couple of studies have shown that talking on a cell phone makes peoples reaction times equivilent to being moderately drunk. Exactly, it's the conversation, not the act of having one hand holding a phone that is the problem. I mean most people drive using only one hand anyway. They might as well ticket you for not having your hands in the 10 and 2 position. I'm not a big cell phone user, so I have to wear a headset the whole time I'm driving just in case I get a call? As usual, a few boneheads ruin it for everyone.

Starting next week in Illinois, you will be required by law to utilize a headset with your cell phone while driving. It's goal is to make driving safer and reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers on their cell phones. So, let's say I'm in my car and I get an incoming call. Am I supposed to fumble with putting my headset on while driving and trying not miss the call? Isn't that MORE dangerous? Or do they expect me to have it on the whole time I'm driving?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) After today's game... Better on toilet paper, maybe! I said this in another thread, the Tigers remind me of the 01-04 White Sox. The talent appears to be there, the team hitting stats are there, the team ERA stat is there, they're just having a lot of hard luck. The frustration causes them to make those kinds of comments. I don't mind it, if you're gonna be successful, you'd BETTER believe you are the most talented team in the division. The AL Central is gonna be tough and a lot of fun for the next few years at least.

:finger 21 of that last 222 retired by Freddy.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) On paper the Tigers look to have a good hitting lineup. Yet they never draw a walk, and would almost be leading the league in strikeouts. we were always the team to beat ........on paper, some similarities.

The Tigers are kinda like the Sox of 01-04, hard luck losers. Their hitting stats look good, their ERA is decent, just can't win often enough.

Is our B squad in the line up today?

Go time.

I hope this s*** doesn't drag out with like 4 delays and ends at like 1:00 am. We have to get out west. I'm more worried about our play in Oak., than winning one more f***in game from the suck ass Tigers. Call the game, get em on the plane.

I thought Colleteral had a big let down. I have to see it again, some things were just too much of a coincidence.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 05:38 PM) $10 a day for walking a dog? Where the hell do I sign up? Dude, in my neighborhood, the girl walks like 5 dogs at once and she must have 3 different groups. Do the math. Perfect job for a College kid.

QUOTE(BDavisFutureHOF @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) http://www.weather.com/activities/driving/..._topnav_driving Looking at it hour by hour -- it doesnt look so good wow, that looks like a wash. I wouldn't mind having the boys skip this one. Let's leave for Oak. right now.
