molehill ---> mountain.

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till its gone One day you're up and the next day you're down, you can't face the world with your head to the ground. You can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes Ohmigod, shoes. Rather than I want to hold your hand, I wanna swallow you whole. I wanna give birth to your baby, baby Scream all night long. Seven screaming diz-busters should go the route and die. Just to let you know, you blow my mind. You've blown it all sky-high by telling me goodbye And I'll be high as a kite by then. I went to a party the other night. I wanted to fill my brain with light. And yeah, I told her that she smells like Kurt Loder. I can dig it, he can dig it, She can dig it, we can dig it,They can dig it, you can dig it, Oh, let's dig it, Can you dig it, baby Shake it; shake, shake it; shake it; shake, shake it; shake it; shake, shake it; shake it like a polaroid picture. As long as you're wearin' clothes that fit ya. In worn out shoes with silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants, the old soft shoe. But you're a bum bum ba-dum...BUM! Please tell me where have all the hobos gone to. I see no light a'burning down by the rusty railroad tracks. And if I can't find my way back home it just wouldn't be fair. Waitaminute, somethin's wrong. . . this key won't unlock the door. Do me a favor, open the door, let 'em in. Lawd, there's a man down the road. It might be your man, but I don't know. Girls will be boys and boys will be girls. It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world except for Lola. She asked me why the singer's name was Alice. I said listen baby, you really wouldn't understand.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Oct 21, 2007 -> 12:30 PM) Did you notice the Refs run faster than the players? They were unblocked.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 21, 2007 -> 12:43 PM) You probably don't use it that way. Others here do. I just think its a poor term. But maybe that's because I have never fit well in either category. Just curious. What do you think aboutt the term 'neocon'?

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Oct 21, 2007 -> 12:02 PM) Maybe 'leftists' have something to feel guilty about, which is why they consider it an insult? I think I figured it out. Catagorize anybody as anything and it's politically incorrect. We all know how leftists feel about politcal incorrectness.

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Oct 21, 2007 -> 10:53 AM) Rare video of the Bears vs. the Cardinals (1929!). http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/06/21/...-bears-in-1929/ Awesome stuff. Didn't the Bears actually play a game in Chicago Stadium once?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 21, 2007 -> 08:42 AM) I guess I just dislike that they are both used like insults, and that it further amplifies this run for the extremes that out political system has been in for a while. This while so much of the public seems to want someone more centrist, reasonable. Leftist and Rightist sounds like people who can only turn one direction. I don't use it as an insult and have never considered it as so. Leftist, to me, describes a person's political outlook, like conservationalist describes a person's view on the environment. It has never crossed my mind that the term could be considered an insult and I don't really understand why it is.

Here's an article from LiveScience that presents both sides.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 21, 2007 -> 11:07 AM) I understand, what I was commenting on was I wish I shared your optimism that we will adapt to the changes. First people have to accept the environment is changing. Then they have to accept the cause, until then, it is all hat and no cattle. I'm not saying it will be easy. We may all have to migrate equatoral areas (wouldn't that be ironic). It may cause catastophic problems in the long run. When I say "we will adapt" I'm refering to mankind, as in some will survive and adapt. Our civilization may not survive, but mankind will.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 21, 2007 -> 11:02 AM) Not if we do not believe they are happening. I never said it wasn't happening. I said it's happening do to solar changes.

NSS ... Here's a start: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...rs-warming.html That last one talks about Mars. Here's Jupiter

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 21, 2007 -> 08:39 AM) YAS - when you return... Many posters here on both sides of the global warming/climate change/pollution debate have provided reference to the data that backs them up. The people who believe that climate change is wholly or partially caused by human activity cite the many thousands of scientific studies looking at such factors as temperature, CO2 levels, receding glaciers and ice pack, wind currents and assorted other evidence. Those who think it is part of a normal cycle point out the many cold and warm periods during the time of man. So I ask you... where are you seeing this evidence that global warming is happening throughout the solar system? I mean, other than Pluto (which is really a comet/asteroid anyway), I have not seen any sort of scietific piece that stakes that claim and provides any evidence. Could you reveal your source? NSS ... I have, from time to time, read about this solar system warming in various locations. However, I honestly have to say I can't recall where as I read a lot from the net. I'll look to see what I can find, though. In the mean time, here's an inconvenient truth ...

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 10:24 PM) Great game between LSU and Auburn going on. Why didn't Auburn challenge the spot on that play? It was clearly short, the ref got the spot wrong by six inches to a foot. Wow! LSU just iced it.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 12:36 PM) I never refuted that. I even posted something earlier that stated that it is a fact. The quote also stated that a majority of scientists across the world believe that the causes on earth are by man. Why would you not believe the people who study this on a daily basis? What insight do you have to disprove them? Have you been conducting research on your own? The simple fact that global warming is occuring on other planets in our solar system, that haven't been influenced by man, tells me that it is an unarguable fact the the cause of global warming is caused by the sun. You see, the isn't just 'global' warming ... it's the entire solar system that is warming. As I said earlier, they were growing grapes in England around the year 1000. Mankind didn't bite the big one then, though 'global warming' was certainly happening. That being said, I'm going to get offline for now. I'll check back whenever I get online again. Have a good day.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 12:33 PM) I wouldn't doubt Boras will get someone to come up with $30 million a year. I just don't see how he's going to get the length he desires. I don't think there is any team out there willing to commit to that figure for a 40-45 year old, no matter how great of condition ARod is in at present. 8 years and $240-$250 million with escalators is possible. I agree that Boras' demands are unreasonable. But then again, there have been stupid owners in past that overpay. Those are the figures that Boras is floating. We'll just have to see what happens here.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 12:27 PM) Like in Pluto where the atmospheric pressure has increased three fold like I quoted above. That seems like a different cause than what we are experiencing here on Earth. Pluto, which isn't even regarded as a planet anymore, isn't the only member of the solar system that is experiencing global warming now. Facts are facts. It is happening throughout the solar system, whether you want to admit it or not.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 12:14 PM) Anyone who thinks that bringing the best player in baseball on this team is a bad thing, needs their head examined. You bring him on, and you watch him destroy the competition day in and day out at the ballpark. This park plays like a little league field in the summer with how the ball flys out, his numbers here would be insane. I can see why some people have some hesitation. Boras is looking for a 10 to 12 year contract for a 32 year old ball player at $30M per year. ARod my be great for 6 to 7 years ... maybe. But beyond that, the odds are that he'd be a major burden toward the end of the contract.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 11:59 AM) I honestly don't think they would. Egypt has normal relations with Israel IIRC. Okay ... I'll give you that Egypt make be the exception to rule. But, that's being generous. The rest of them want Isreal to be nonexistant. From the river to sea has been a mantra of Islam for quite a while.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 11:58 AM) When you cant memorize lines like "We must have good laws. We must do our best to stop bad laws," it doesn't exactly engender confidence. I think that's what I just said.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 11:56 AM) The atmosphere isn't the same and the will isn't there anymore. Neither Jordan nor Egypt wants in on a war with Israel. Even Syria is at best tepid to the idea, and Iraq is incapable of acting. This isn't 1967 or 1973 anymore. This region doesn't have anything close the the Unity that it used to have. But ... they would if they could. That's my point.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 11:51 AM) Except the problem with Thompson is the same problem that Richardson has. Horrible campaigner. Speaks in a monotone voice, head down reading most of the times. He doesn't seem vibrant, he looks like he's late for a nap. And that's gonna kill him in the polls. I agree. You'd think that someone that has experince as an actor can have a better public persona. Apparently, he's not too damn quick on his feet. We'll see if he can turn the tide, but I doubt it.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 11:45 AM) My point is that although language towards each other might be irrational, actions toward each other tend to stay rational in the mideast. Ahmadenijad talks crazy, but won't act crazy. And probably won't get the opportunity to because the President of Iran needs permission from the Supreme Council to take a dump, let alone invade or attack another country. Ok ... It's a given that Ahmadenijad doesn't have the power to act as he talks. In other words, he's a blowhard. Still, the politics of the mideast is entirely irrational. If the combined powers of the Muslim nations thought they could push Isreal into the sea, they'd do it in a heartbeat. They tried it in '67 and got thier collective asses kicked. They'll try it again when they think they can succeed.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 11:25 AM) You're not my mother and you never will be. Even if I was, I'd deny it.
