I don't think it's AC/DC Specific as much as if you had this song that was really popular with the fan base for a while but then slowly lost it's appeal as time/seasons went by, you should change it up. That song was what, 25 years old when it was popular in 2005 with sox fans? It's not about pop culture relevance in itself.

Didn't I post an article on that study? Did I get balta'd?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 4, 2015 -> 09:51 AM) I could of spoiler Beckner for you over a week ago, it was a done deal. These kids are 18 years old, it's never over. It's not even over now!

This is an awesome class for Mizzou, best one since gabbert. Future QB, Future dominant Dlineman, and a bunch of four star athletes and hybrids for Barry Odom to do what he wants. That said, the WR group next year is awful

T-15 minutes til Beckner Jr.

Actually a small forward would be a huge help right now with McD out.

On the otherhand putting american cheese on eggs instead of cheddar seems unforgivable.

Just to clarify, I am not advocating being rude to anyone. But you can request things without being rude.

The things we thought Jimmy would be good at (defense, slashing, athleticism, rebounding) he was good at. The stuff we thought he'd be bad at (awareness, shooting) he was bad at. The stuff we thought Doug would be good at (Shooting, offense) he's been awful at, the stuff we thought he'd be bad at (defense) he's been horrible at.

Absolutely. I wish you still lived in Cali though to put your money where your mouth is.

This potential murder mystery in Argentina is insane. Their governance makes you jump for joy at how functional our dysfunction is.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) You must have found the one honest alderman in Chicago! This is how these people get elected. like 5% of their district will vote. The likelihood is if someone takes the energy to complain, they'll take the energy to vote.

To be honest I'm not sure if it's extremely small. Because of the clusters, it's fair to say that on average the US is close to the threshold of full immunity, but there are clusters of high immunity and then towns of people at 50% where these will be huge. Now, California is a very populated state, so even if we isolate it to there that would be a huge public health hazard.

I guess I'm confused why the person was so concerned with the stigma of wolves eating humans when the commercial is a puppy being threatened by a wolf. Unless ...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 02:04 PM) Unless you live on said alderman's block, complaining won't help the plows find your street much quicker. Couldn't disagree more.

Can we get Dario Saric and Gary Harris back for Doug?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 01:59 AM) The dunk competition is "wildly more successful" than the HR Derby? I guess I'll have to take your word for it, as I don't know anyone who watched the dunk competition anymore. From all the ratings I've found through google, the HR Derby draws the same or more viewers than the dunk contest, and the MLB All-Star game draws a DRASTICALLY higher rating than the NBA All-star game. http://regressing.deadspin.com/the-mlb-had...ts-t-1606770612 So when you speak about one being wildly more successful, I assume you are talking about baseball's all-star week. No, in fact I'm talking about the NBA all star weekend, which has been a huge marketing success and is why baseball has an all star week. The NBA didn't invent the all star game, and the Pro Bowls advantage has nothing to do with marketing and everything to do with football. They couldn't have done more stupid things to make it less relevant, just as baseball's stupid "make it count" is not a marketing success. I can name NBA all star weekend activities right now without looking: Game, Dunk contest, 3 point contest, skills competition, rookie/soph game, in addition to the much better job the NBA does at using that weekend to promote their stars and have them interact with media/fans. That's the marketing angle. That's what they do way better than the MLB. Baseball has done a horrendous job of creating star power in an era of lesser home runs. If you did a poll of most famous athletes, where would Mike Trout land?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 01:35 PM) They already shoot t-shirts into the stands. I don't think things will be all that much different than they are now except for maybe some new tunes. They have kids racing down the lines. Southpaw gets some time. I go to games to see what happens during the innings, but some find what goes on in between the difference between attending and staying home. I can't imagine it being irrating enough to keep me away from coming, although the t-shirt tosses get to be ridiculous. People knocking people down for a cheap Chevy t-shirt. One thing, compare how the Bulls utilize Benny vs whatever the sox do with Southpaw. The # of skits and routines Benny does are huge hits. Southpaw dances and interviews, but he's mostly a photo op and useless. Do I care? No. I've already said the only thing I want is God Bless America gone. Maybe put a golden ticket between one seat in each section that gives you access to a decked out, clean bathroom where everything is made out of gold.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 12:28 PM) I live in Little Italy now (as of Black Wednesday) and this snow has just been the biggest pain in the ass. My alley to the parking spot had two cars and stuck in it. Then my car got stuck trying to turn around outside my alley. We used to live on Michigan Ave. and the snow was handled very swiftly. Am I to expect my neighborhood not to be plowed every time there's a considerable snow fall? These situations are tailor made for complaining like hell to your alderman, who also may be in the midst of an election on feb 22nd.

I kinda freaked out watching WGN morning news this morning. They did an update on the vaccine outbreak and Obama pushback, then totally did a "republican response" (rand paul) "democrat response" (clinton) as if this is a debate. I'd write them an email if I didn't just already write this to a message board.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 12:46 PM) Not sure of the answers there. The real question is....where did the virus come from then? Vaccinated Americans traveling overseas? In one case, an unvaccinated Amish person came back from a missionary trip and introduced it to the very unvaccinated Amish enclave in Ohio, it then spread like crazy. People travel all over. Especially the wealthy, as is the case here.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 08:52 AM) But they do compete for marketing and fan dollars. I was gonna root for the white sox, but then I saw they picked Soler over Garcia

Measles has the highest immunization rate required to stop spread at 92%. That means it's required in any enclave. So the national average can be 92%, but if you are in a particularly anti-vaxxer area, it will spread like wildfire.
