They're all die hards. I work with a 'Die hard Red Sox fan'. Has the bumper stickers, license plate cover, jerseys, ball signed by the '04 team, etc. Yet he still says things like "the Red Sox won by two points" and "the Red Sox game went into over time". I just let him run his mouth, it's quite amusing.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2007 -> 10:17 PM) I saw Garden State for the first time. It was good stuff. Like glass half full s***. Have you seen 'The Last Kiss'?. I highly recommend it. Zach Braff or whatever his name is, picks really good scripts.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 25, 2007 -> 02:16 PM) Yep. Sept. 1st, with Burning Brides and Bible Of The Devil. Damn good show, too bad I'll be around the corner at Subterranean that night. 18 bucks in advance, 20 at the door (either door, I'd guess.....okay, sorry....) Figures. That's the only night I have any solid plans, so I can't make it. I saw Burning Brides open for Local H a while back, decent band.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) Anyone societally involved in Chicago who is known as a White Sox fan is impacted daily by the happenings of the cubs right now. I have to admit a cub win stings a whole more than a Sox loss at this point in time. The fact that they are a mediocore team that is luckier than s*** is the worst part about it. They could easily have been swept by the Giants and I am not sure what is going to happen today but they are lucky f***s who are treated in the media like they are 40 games over. The history and media bias is what really pisses me off and why I despise them and opine on them more often any anything other than the White Sox. They are the f***ing Los Angeles Clippers yet are treated like the Yankees and Red Sox. They can not even call the Cardinals rivals yet they pretend that they are. That's what everyone said about the 05 White Sox, 'lucky', but that didn't kill our buzz any, did it? A lot of things have to fall into place for a team to win the WS and luck is one of them. LOTTA baseball left to play this season. Chill out, me thinks you'll be smiling in Oct.

'Californication' is 2 for 2 so far. I'm hooked.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Aug 25, 2007 -> 01:38 PM) This would be good news only if it helps make Cuban Cigars legal in this country again. ....and if helps to make Cuba our playground. :cheers Anyone ever been to Cuba?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 25, 2007 -> 09:10 AM) For you fans of The Hold Steady out there: Tickets go on sale today (8/25) for The Hold Steady at Metro on Halloween night. My email from Metro didn't list ticket prices. Oh yeah baby. Plan to see them out here in Nov. in LA and SD. Isn't Helmet gonna be at the Double Dooor sometime soon also?

Doug Stanhope is a very funny guy. Any fans?

I've been otta touch for a few months. What's new that I should check out? Any good shows in Chicago between 8/30 and 9/10?

I saw 'Super Bad' the other night and the couple in front of us had their young child with them. Very ghetto. Super Bad is funny by the way.

Oh, so suddenly this season Uribe can't hit huh?

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 05:09 AM) When I got mine they didnt mention the crashing but he did tell me it was best used for an afternoon/evening workout. If I were you I would honestly try out that stuff I mentioned from the Now brand. It is about a third the price and has similar results. Well, so far I'm not seeing any real benefits. Is it something I need to be on for a while, like a month or two? Otherwise, I'll just finish the samples and be done with it. Thx.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 08:01 AM) If youre talking about NO2 Xplode stuff from GNC I used it for a little while and had average results. Also, you can buy, I think its called AKG powder or something close to that and its pretty much the same stuff with a little less additives and its only 20 bux per bottle. Its made by "Now" brand with the orange labels. The kid at GNC gave me like 10 sample packages. So far, I don't know if it's really doing anything. The 'skin tearing pumps' aren't really there and I get kinda lightheaded. After my workouts, I crash really hard and feel like I need a nap, which is bad since I work out before going to work.

Does anyone have any experience with this supplement? What were your results? THX.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 19, 2007 -> 02:50 PM) I saw that when they introduced it. Ewww. Mostly because of the bad beer the recipe starts with. I'm not a fan of the tomato juice in beer thing, but I respect is as a regional variation on the theme. A traditional chelada can be good though and doesn't necessarily have the Clamato in it. The juice of one or two whole limes (depending on how much you like your limes) mixed with a Negro Modello or Dos Equis dark can be quite refreshing. I don't like anything in my beer except more beer. When beer is made right, there is nothing wrong it. No additives neccesary. But I suppose if I drank Bud, I'd have to add SOMETHING to it.

If you ever drive through the neighborhood I grew up in and people give you this sign, it's not cuz they love you, it's because they're Latin Kings: http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/det...42/23114279.jpg It's supposed to be a crown.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 19, 2007 -> 12:55 PM) Do some tequila shots. I have important investment questions that need answering. One glass of 50% beer and 50% V-8 will kill any hangover. Budweiser even sells it pre canned with Clamato juice. It's targeted at the Mexican market out here. "Chelada" I believe it's called.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 19, 2007 -> 08:48 AM) A little bit of a headache and the taste of something not good in my mouth, but otherwise not too bad. Remedy: 3 Advil 1/2 gallon of coffee 2 gallons of water a greasy double cheeseburger for lunch

Happy B-Day.... and do not eat s***.

Has anyone ever lived in, or known anyone who lived in Hawaii? I'm trying to get an idea of exactly how expensive it is to live there from some real life experiences.....sorry, vacationing there doesn't count. Thx.

Don't you have to be a 'member' of some kind of organization in order to attend these things?

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 01:37 PM) See, now that is kind of funny. Are you kidding? Throwing a drink at somebody is funny? Please, explain to me how it is funny? I'm not talking about it being offensive or anything, I just don't get how this is funny. Is it just as funny if I yell "fire in the hole" and throw, say, an apple? Is it the brilliance of throwing a beverage that is funny? Does it matter if it is a carbonated drink, or is a glass of water just as funny? Obviously it isn't the reaction that is so hysterical, as the brave pranksters haul butt as fast as they can. So in theory it would be just as funny to yell "fire in the hole" and throw it as a brick wall. I guess the true comedy of this act is the combination of the words, fire-in-the-hole, and the object being hurled. Seriously, if this is "comedy" then this explains how Steve-O has a career. Well no, I bet it's not funny at all if you're the guy wearing the drink. But if you're the 17 year old who threw it at him...

QUOTE(The Bones @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 05:02 PM) spike jonze directed this video for the pharcyde over ten years ago using the old backwards technique. the guys had to learn how to lip-sync the song being played backwards. That sux. The camera angles don't allow you to really see how well they're doing it. This is Lynch's scene from Twin Peaks. Warning: strange and very creepy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBFXWN19Q0o

You're supposed to take the lid off the cup and splash the drink all over the person's face.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 16, 2007 -> 09:53 AM) I think it means they play the track backwards for the band, have them mime the song as they hear it (backwards), then play the tape backwards to feature the song the correct way, with the video track running in reverse. I've seen that technique used in videos before, it's okay. Are you sure? That sounds like an awful lot of work.
