QUOTE(Soxy @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:53 AM) Awesome book, but The Fall is better (and one of my all-time faves) i started to read the fall, like 10 pages, but i miscalculated how much time i would've had to read when it was finals week and i had to return it. I went to the library by me, but i guess its the western branch of the aurora public library, and their selection was so small...but i saw this and grabbed it. on second thought maybe it wasn't the fall...it was...lets see, it was a conversation but you only read one side of it...does that ring a bell

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 04:36 AM) I think the real question here is if Freddy will be awake for the first inning. Most of the time, he's pretty sleepy in the early going. You can get away with that as a pitcher, but not at first. So I propose that AJ cover first on all grounders hit during the first innning, except the ones hit to Iguchi, who should just run over from his position and take those unassisted. This approach will have an initially unseen benefit: Tadahito will lead the league in putouts, becoming the first Japanese second baseman to ever do so. Bud Selig will make a special presentation on Opening Day next year, honoring number 15 for a great accomplishment. I really believe in this plan. why aren't we managers yet?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) Duke lacrosse assholes? It was being corrupted by several athletes who were falsely accused of rape by a stripper? I dont even see how that makes sense? Ding! the duke lacrosse players have been alleged to have been the biggest douche bags at the school, guilty or not of their crime, and therefore have become the symbol of asshole "jocks". I was not implying that the duke lacrosse assholes corrupted this school. Anyone with a reasonable intellect could have figured that out.

Films
finally saw shaun of the dead. So brilliant. Even being much of a comedy, the fact that they had character development and you cared about the characters made it 10x better than most honest scary movies out there.

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 05:36 PM) First of all I do not believe that murdering your unborn children is a constitutional right no matter what the courts say. its amazing how people don't understand what the courts actually ruled. It isn't our right, its that the government doesn't have the right. There is a difference. Everything we are allowed to do isn't because the government allows us to. Its the opposite. Everything the government does its becasue WE THE PEOPLE allow them to.

HS Senior rips his own graduating class.
QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 09:22 PM) WHo gave the school a worse name? The athletes who probably excelled in sports and school, or the whiny senior who decided to take it upon himself to embarass the school through his graduation speech? the kid who stood up to the blind eye of administration and the aforementioned dumbass athletes. Schools aren't farm leagues for sports, they are supposed to be a place of learning, one that was being corrupted by a bunch of duke lacrosse assholes. The kid was right. i wish i could have slapped every one of the kids who wasted their time in my high quality public school with so many kids that don't even have a chance in theirs.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 09:10 PM) I've never seen a thread take a turn like this. A 2 page post about school funding? Im pretty sure thats not what the kids speech was about. He was mad that other students took liberties that he was not given. more like he was mad that kids who were given every opportunity to exceed in schooling threw it away and gave the school a bad name, all the while were embraced more by the school.

Who here uses facebook? Any version of it.
it is a nice feature to keep in touch with kids in high school. The kids that are addicted to it though weird me out. There isn't THAT much to do on it.
