QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 09:21 AM) Eh, I have no doubt it will creep into society. But as PA says, no way any forced version of it (aside from maybe cons and probys) will ever pass muster. Instead, commercial industry will put all that good stuff into a watch or cell phone type device (only smaller) that fits in your pocket or on your best. Something the size of a key, or a credit card. That would service the broader market that wants to technology but not the scary bits. Mark my words. It'll happen. They'll make it so you can't just 'take it off'.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 09:16 AM) Maybe we should get rid of guns (except our military, of course silly) and outlaw religion in public places while we're at it. What else can we do to ensure the apocalypse by 2050? Perhaps burn books? Set up internment camps? It already happens in the form of Debit and Credit Cards....but having no choice but to implant something should NEVER be constitutionally sound. The key words in your sentence are SHOULD NEVER. But, we both know it's going to happen.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 09:06 AM) I tend to agree. Despite the many positives that undoubtedly could be produced by it, I just cannot imagine being OK with that. Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too much danger. The die is cast though. It's going to happen.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 08:53 AM) It's the time of year when many people think about giving to the various charaties. Here is a nice reference tool to help check out those who ask for your money. http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm Boy Scouts of America Boy Scouts of America Boy Scouts of America Boy Scouts of America Was that too subtle? Was what too subtle?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 08:37 AM) Because it was like white noise? A steady hiss of silly action sequences and eye candy with no involving subject matter? ACtion sequences and eye candy? What's the problem?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 09:00 AM) I thought of King but thought we were trying for more of a rock vibe. Once we veer into pop, these get really murky. A certain Ms. Carpenter would have to appear. At Seventeen by Ian would need to be included. Great female rockers are harder to find and makes for a much more interesting contest. Definetly Karen Carpenter. Carly Simon has a great voice as well.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 08:37 AM) The Republicans around here crack me up. Pussies? Americans? why it seems like just three or four years ago that Bush landed on that aircraft carrier with the giant Mission Accomplished banner behind him. Just to prove I'm not a pussy, I am ready for thousands and thousands of more Americans to die in combat. I want blood everywhere. I believe we should invade every planet if it means that no person on this planet is living under a brutal dictator. Only when every last person who wants harm to the US is killed and lays bloodied in the streets will I say enough have died. Then we need to kill their children, and their children's children. Most Americans understand the difference between a just, necessary war and everything else. Perhaps the lesson to learn here is don't mislead the US public. 90%+ of Americans supported the invasion. It wasn't until the truth started leaking out, until American soldiers stopped upholding the very laws they purported to believe in and want for the Iraqi people that support cratered. Americans are a few steps above the savages that some people here would find endearing. We understand that you can't go to war because someone is using torture on its citizens and then use torture in that war. Some see that as being civilized, some as being pussies. I'll take the higher road. Did we just become pussies because the Dems are taking over? I like the new campaign strategy for '08. This is not directed at anyone here. But in a general sense, I see things like this: Bleeding Heart Liberal = Pussy.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 08:26 AM) And how do you feel about that... Two words. f***ing disaster.

Personally, I don't think it will take that long. 20 years tops. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentSe...id=968867495754

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 05:29 PM) My kid brother was selected to be in the cardboard box relay race the one and only time we were in the studio audience for a Bozo taping. This was a relay race variant where each kid had two boxes and had to step out of one box and into the other, then reach around and grab the first box, put it in front of them and repeat until they made it to the otther side. Well, my bro's team had it in the bag, ahead by half a lap, and there were some killer take-home prizes at stake (including Silly Putty, I'm sure). Then – and no disrespect to your fine organization, Tex – this kid on my bro's team in full Cub Scout uniform, stops at the turn-around of his lap, and takes 10 seconds to reach deep in there and pull the underwear out of his arse before finishing, costing them the race and that sweet, sweet Silly Putty. This kid had to grow up to be a Cub fan.

How'd I miss this one. Hope you had a good one.

Wishing you a great one!

QUOTE(SinkingShip06 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 02:00 AM) it's awesome that i have such a fan who loves to read and respond to every single one of my posts. Then there are those of us who generally choose to ignore your drivel.

I correlate sitting on that plane and keeping my mouth shut to the blonde that goes swimming with the 'dolphins' in that Vonage commercial.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 12:58 AM) This was some body's quote about the Batista signing here in Arizona "Should have gone to the Royals they have a definite chance this year. They looked at their downfalls and their GM really went at it. I am glad to see that Miggy got the $$$ he deserves. should have gone to the Royals they have a definate chance this year. They looked at their downfalls and their GM really went at it. I am glad to see that Miggy got the $$$ he deserves. Anyway about them Royals I think they bought their ticket to 2nd place in the AL Central. ". Didn't know what to make of this Someone is AZ is delusional.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 04:13 PM) I like your version better. Of course we both know that Rush would attack that and show a pretty map that shows most of the country agrees with Bush and call this media bias. Yep. That map would look real good on the radio.

I hope this keeps her out of the news for a while. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,235882,00.html

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 03:51 PM) I'm smelling two wrongs here. When the police do this poorly, they call it entrapment. From reading the articles, my guess is the Imams knew their behavior would be viewed as suspicious and pushed those buttons. I think that is wrong, and harmful to the greater good of our society. The airline and the passengers took the bait, and acted in a manner which showed some prejudice towards the Imams. While I dislike prejudice and bigotry, I dislike even more people creating situations and then suing. Two wrongs do not make a right. If I'm on that plane, I'm going make damn sure someone knows what those jackasses are doing before that plane leaves the ground. I don't care who likes it or not.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 01:22 PM) Ray Rayner Rulz!!!!!! Those both are so cool. Agree on Ray Raynor. I always associated these two clips with Garfield Goose, instead of Ray Raynor. A tip of the hat to Frazier Thomas as well.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 03:22 PM) Add Kucinich for the Dems - he confirmed today he is running. I'm thinking the other candidates probably aren't exactly shaking in their boots. I will say this about Kucinich - he seems like an honest, unabashed person. No games there - what you see is what you get. Whoa. I hope not.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 10, 2006 -> 11:51 PM) The Republican Congress held over 150 hours of sworn testimony to determine whether or not President Clinton misused the White House Christmas Card List. The Republican Congress held about 12 hours of sworn testimony on Abu Ghraib. Christmas list? I thought he misused a cigar!

How long are we going to argue about this? Odds are that the Sox don't give it a thought. If they do, odds are that he doesn't make the team.

Looks pretty good to me. Gonna have to check that one out.
