QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 07:54 PM) So since you don't listen to much rap, you're gonna generalize....good call. That's exactly why I qualified it. Put a different way, it's "I've heard all this stuff off on the radio, and I like what I heard from the Flobots more than other stuff I heard, which typically seemed to be about guns and women."

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 05:52 PM) no it isn't Yes, it is. Granted I don't listen to much rap on my own, so this is going by stuff on the radio, but everything is either about A)Hos, B)Shooting people, or C)Shooting people who banged your hos.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 02:01 AM) So, I hear there will be a Foo Fighters Greatest Hits Album. Wonder what it will entail besides the obvious. On ESP&G, Let it Die quickly became my favorite. Let it Die is ok, I like the Pretender and even Long Road to Ruin more, but I haven't listened to it enough to really know. And apparently Eve 6 is getting back together, but with a different guitarist.

Minneapolis is a great town. Lots of great places to eat in the downtown area.

Kontos is a local product (Niles West, then Northwestern), and he was actually doing decent in AA. 3.77 ERA with a .243 OAVG.

I feel clueless...O-Dog?

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 06:00 AM) I think for the most part that thing that people recognize as a Chicago accent is the long "a" like Chicaaaaaaaaaaaago Yeah I get confused with this one. What do non-Chicagoans say? And really, is combining a bunch of words together just a Chicago thing? I thought everyone in every language has a tendency to not put many spaces in when they talk, because people understand it. Also, don't forget Cut the Grass vs. Mow the Lawn.

Recently acquired Transmissions From the Satellite Heart by the Flaming Lips and Clumsy from Our Lady Peace, and I'm looking forward to hearing both.

Dumb question. I know Bourgeois plays outfield and 2nd, but where does he usually start at for the Knights?

Thought I'd mention that the production was moved to an indoor venue, where the previous concerns would not be an issue.

W-S started game 1 of a double header at 8 pm?

The only movie left this summer I really want to see is Dark Knight. However, watching a movie where Heath Ledger has a big role will be kind of odd.

I saw the Gin Blossoms in Wheeling last night, and they were awesome. Really great energy.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 11:24 PM) and it's a fantastic flippin' musical by the way. to cancel it over that word just basically denies the entire point of the SHOW. it's a show about racism in america and we're trying to be racially SENSITIVE? (in a bulls*** way btw). Come on now, why do people need to be babied. Chicagoans hear this s*** walking down the streets all the goddamned time. But it wasn't canceled simply because of the use of racial slurs -- it was the fact that these words could be heard unintentionally by families, including small children.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) Dumb. And even if they think its a valid concern, fine... just change that one damn word. They could be fined up to 150,000 per word if they did that.

Best Musical Artists

Shirek got the win for Kanny, striking out 5 and allowing only 4 hits and 2 runs in 7. Charlotte is tied 6-6 in the 9th right now, Richar with 4 hits on the night so far, his average is up to .270. Broadway got roughed up though, 6 runs (4 earned) and 9 hits in 6 innings of work. Also, since when was Scott Sauerbeck on the Knights? I didn't know that.

QUOTE (SnB @ Jun 27, 2008 -> 07:29 PM) Heart songs is easily my favorite song on that album, but the 3 that come before that are really good too Agreed. And as to the Counting Crows, I love their stuff, but I heard they're awful in concert. That said, I'm still thinking about seeing them in August.

IU hit with a failure to monitor allegation.

QUOTE (SnB @ Jun 25, 2008 -> 09:28 PM) agreed the first 4 or 5 songs are great, absolutely great, but the last half of the album blows I'd say 4, not 5. Heart Songs (track 4) is probably my favorite on the album, but Everybody Get Dangerous (track 5) is just repetitive and not that catchy anyway.

Ride Forever sounds like it would work. Sorry for your loss, man.

The last two minutes + PKs of Croatia-Turkey was the best stretch of soccer I've ever seen.

If signability wasn't an issue, where would Upchurch have gone?
