#3, what's a bus? No one walks or takes public trans.

QUOTE(Balance @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 05:37 PM) I think the best thing to do is to watch a lot of games with her. In person and on TV. If she's interested, she'll pick up a lot on her own. .... as long as the Sox aren't playing, that's a good idea. Otherwise the questions might get on your nerves.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 11:57 PM) You've never seen roads THIS icy... http://www.fazed.net/video/?id=566 Hmmm, I see a six car pile up ahead of me, surely I can drive through without a problem.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 12:52 PM) Alot of those guys will charter planes to their destinations to bring drugs/whatnot with. Also why hide it in your water bottle? Its just as easy to put it in your sock or your pocket. Not even lighters set off the metal detectors. YEP> Even with all the security upgardes after 9/11, the best place to hide 'substances' is still on your body....but it's still a bad idea.

Cross eyed, or not? Shaq? Jimmy Kimmel? Lewis Black? Forest Whitaker? all of the above?

Some of the Sox wives could maybe teach a few courses for women learning the game for a few bucks........proceeds to White Sox charities.

No team is out of contention before the frickin' season even starts.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 17, 2007 -> 08:50 AM) Down here people are not prepared for the cold. I was awake half the night praying for the less privileged who live in dwellings without heat and do not have warm blankets. The colonias are usually just concrete block construction, drafty, and without adequate heat. Then there are those living in mobile homes. On the news they showed a family that would burn wood down to coals and then bring them inside to warm the trailer so their children could stay warm. They used an old plow blade and a couple brick to keep the coals away from anything flammable. The coals were right by the door of the home. I know there won't be much sympathy here for undocumented workers, but last night one young woman was airlifted to the hospital with severe frostbite and many others are being rescued and returned to Mexico before they die of exposure. Risking their lives for a piece of the American dream. People around here tell me that more illegals die from the desert cold than you might imagine.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jan 17, 2007 -> 08:55 AM) Stop Making Sense. Talking Heads. Best Live album and concert film ever. Period. End of disucssion. (though I am sure the discussion will, in fact, not end) Definately THEIR best record and a great film.

I don't remember specifically which players made the statements, but every October from 2001-2004 several Sox players kept saying they were a better team than the Twins.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 16, 2007 -> 07:29 PM) Define "1 sitting"? Chugging 1 every minute? No, of course not and I was using the restroom whenever I needed to. She kept all that water in her system, that's a big difference. I have to admit though, I would never have thought that could kill you. It just seems like your bladder should give out before it got anywhere near dangerous. Clearly that's not the case.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Jan 14, 2007 -> 12:09 AM) Wow, if thats really her Im suprised her people let her go on tv like that. The interesting thing is that she only LOOKS drunk. Her speech is not really slurrred and she's making perfect sense. Play it again and don't look at the screen.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 16, 2007 -> 10:48 AM) Got ya beat...it actually froze in Pasadena last night. Burst water main pouring onto the street, policewoman standing in the middle of the ice patch warning drivers about the ice, me biking across it and smiling... A lot of places around here forgot to shut off their sprinkler systems, resulting in skating rinks everywhere.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 16, 2007 -> 06:42 PM) 128. And you couldn't google that? Ok, so 1 beer is 12 ounces, so roughly 10.7 beers make a gallon. I've consumed 10 beers in one sitting plenty of times in my life. You mean to tell me that if I had been drinking water instead I'd be dead?????

So, who is ready for Lynch's latest? http://www.inlandempirecinema.com/

How many ounces are in a gallon?

Good deal. One more year, then pack him up. Bad back+mad loot demand after '07= See ya.

QUOTE(Balance @ Jan 14, 2007 -> 11:19 AM) Here's another vote for Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of "Little Wing," originally by Hendrix. The cover is just transcendent. I love it. I agree, no one will ever play like SRV. Believe it or not, Sting did a solid version of 'Little Wing ' too.

Uh, I grew up on the southside?

QUOTE(Wanne @ Jan 13, 2007 -> 12:20 PM) Gotta go with this one as worst also. I can't remember ever feeling so completely "abandoned" by a team that clearly should have won it all that year. Complete choke job. I remember too the next spring training after that year of not really caring at all after that playoff debacle. Best-gotta show my age here and say in '72 when Dick Allen came off the bench in game 2 of a doubleheader with the Yanks and hit a pinch hit, 2-out, 3-run homer off off Sparky Lyle into a stiff wind to complete the sweep. I was at that game...the place went nuts. Yep, every game was close and you just had this feeling the bats would explode and they never did. I'd be shocked if the White Sox hit over .180 in the '83 playoffs.

8.4 ! Wow. Trigerring tsunami warnings to Hawaii and even the west coast. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/01/1...apan/index.html

Dinosaur Jr. doing The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" is pretty funny.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jan 10, 2007 -> 08:40 PM) i like neil young's voice. Yep. Who else can sing 'Harvest Moon'??

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 11:03 PM) http://edition.cnn.com/ According to AC360 a staffer at the embassy says there are no injuries. Phew. I'm finding very little press on this, wierd.

Just got back from 'The Last King Of Scotland'. Based on a Scotish doctor's experiences as Idi Amin's personal physician/advisor. Very, very good.
