Sha na na na na. I'm sure you could have found a different, less offensive reference. Mods, ban this guy.

QUOTE(Balance @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 03:10 PM) I have to disagree. I listen to the podcasts from the show pretty much every day, and I think the show has improved dramatically since the addition of Bonaduce at the beginning of the year. In the first week or two, Danny would step on Adam or Teresa when they were talking, but their chemistry keeps improving the more they work together. You wouldn't expect a baseball team to jell perfectly in the first week of spring training, would you? He still steps on their toes very often. I think they need hand signals or something. Even when DB waits his turn, he usually is off topic. There's an entire forum devoted to opinions (mostly negative) regarding his performance. http://adamcarolla.15.forumer.com/index.php?showforum=12 Best thread from that forum is "Danny's Myspace friends..."[/url]

QUOTE(shoota @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 03:11 PM) It was a nice summer day so we liked the idea of sitting on our asses waiting for the lot to fill up with carts. After a couple hours, we assembled something like 108 carts. We could have gotten more, but the train was so long that customers couldn't back out of their parking spots. They became upset, so the three of us started to push the train. We could barely move it. That's exactly what I did, but I had to deal with the wrath of angry carpenters and plumbers waiting for me and my newfound hernia to push the carts. My favorite job ever. The other thing I used to do was give people advice about stuff I really didn't know how to do myself. My job was loading cars and pushing carts, think I know much about building a shed or planting a garden?

When I didn't follow Howard Stern to Sirius (mostly because I don't have the time), I started listening to Adam Carolla. The show was pretty good. Not as many big laughs, but he's always pretty interesting. I got used to the show. This year, they blew up his staff and added Danny Bonaduce to the show. It's a wreck, as Danny doesn't know when to not speak. The chemistry is awful, so I went to the website to see what others thought, and they agree. I occasionally (almost accidently) post there as a result. Where else do you post?

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 11:03 AM) I did it for one year as well. The people asking for double paper in plastic were the worst. Talk about a pain in the ass. Not as much as pushing carts thru the snow, but it still sucked. Speaking of pushing carts, I saw some automated s*** at Target last week. The kid just hooked the carts together and drove them in. What's up with that?? I set a record at Builder's Square pushing the longest train of carts from the lot into the store in 1992. It stood until the day they turned it into a dollar store. The mutants that worked with me loading cars looked at me like I was C3PO in a world of Ewoks.

That is long!!! I'm going to try some of that with my kids! My son (8yrs) quits very quickly if he doesn't do something well right away!! He's done it with sports (baseball and soccer) and some with school! I have tried to tell him all I want is effort, but that doesn't really seem to work!! Sometimes it feels like he fails just to upset me!!! And I don't get upset that he's not doing well, I get upset that he's not trying! He can't tell the difference, though! Exclamation points added for your critique, CC!!!

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 09:25 AM) The person that could effectively generate power from cat poop (or dog poop) would be a gazillionaire! A never-ending completely renewable resource! I'm sure Al Gore is already working on this.

QUOTE(Beltin @ Mar 21, 2007 -> 07:18 AM) People here promote all kinds of crap in their signatures/avatars and it is their prerogative. Much of it is muted promotion of sex, tv shows, college teams, etc. and none of it has to do with the White Sox. Until you pointed it out, I did not even notice the link in his signature. I am not familiar with WSI but I do know I enjoy threads started by StatManDu far more than I like enduring one thread after another debating the OF and 5th starter. Please leave the man alone. The Brady Bunch is not crap! Take that back.

QUOTE(mreye @ Mar 20, 2007 -> 05:59 AM) Oh come on! What did he ask? I can't remember what the question was. What I remember is that it really had nothing to do with the homily, and the priest was visibly not all that happy about being interrupted. It was a religious question though, and the priest answered. Then the guy followed up with another question, and the priest gave a short answer and said he'd be happy to talk about it after church. I'm assuming the priest went to confession shortly thereafter and confessed to lying to a parrishoner in church. My dad was with me, and he was stunned.

I was at mass one time and a guy raised his hand during the homily and asked the priest a question. I couldn't believe it. The guy was doing the Horseshack hand wave in the second row until the priest finally stopped and acknowleged him.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 19, 2007 -> 08:44 AM) Indeed. If I had to restrict myself to one everyday American micro, it would be Sierra Pale. Bigfoot is out and about now, btw. Snatch it up while you can! I'm going to make a crazy suggestion here I know, but have you thought about rinsing off one of the old straws to keep around for just such an emergency?? I know that's always been my strategy for when I discover I'm down to my last rubber anyway. . . Fine, I'll just save all the old straws. They're easy enough to clean. Speaking of condoms, I just turn them inside out and give 'em another go. It's like new, and I get the pleasure of the ribs.

El Duque. Best game. Jack McDowell 1-0 against Seattle (I think it was Randy Johnson pitching for them). Ok, I'm officially old. I searched and can't find the best pitched game I remember. Never happened? Was I looking at BlackJack through goatee colored Sox shades? Closest thing to what I remember was 2-1 Sox over RJ. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SE...199406250.shtml Guess that makes me a fan.

Would it be too much to ask for Capri Sun to throw an extra straw in the box? It seems like every other box I open only has nine straws for the ten delicious drink pouches.

QUOTE(shipps @ Mar 13, 2007 -> 02:28 AM) Am I the only one that gets nostalgic when it first gets warm and the time has changed? Where I sit, it's always warm, and the time doesn't change. FU nostalgia.

I was having a similar run of poor movie going experiences lately, but I really liked Zodiac. I can't remember if I read this book in the past, but I knew the story pretty well. I think it might have been cited as an example in a book about serial killers that I read a few years ago - "Mind Hunter" by John Douglas. It was written by an FBI serial killer expert and showed how police are able to pinpoint likely suspects based on various facts known about the murders. The movie was long, but I didn't spend the entire time looking at my watch. There weren't any unnecessary scenes that I can remember, and that is a huge complaint of mine when I see a movie. Thumbs Up.

I still turn up most of their songs when I come accross them on the radio. My older brother got the first album for his birthday in 7th grade and played it constantly. RIP. Long live Sib.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 8, 2007 -> 07:52 PM) Casey Kasem? Shaggy? Yeah...I rest my case on just how "ROCK" the dillweed is. "Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars."

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 8, 2007 -> 08:18 AM) See, and I thought Gina sucked. IMO it was a case of the judges really not being too familiar with a song, and being completely naive on a style of music. They showed it last year with Daughrty (sic?) also. Just because he got up there and "Rocked" didn't mean he was good at the style. But since our judges don't know s*** about Rock, they thought he was good. There are a million guys slugging it out in Rock bands around the world who can sing circles around that Chris Daughtry guy, and a million female Rock singers who stomp the crap out of Gina. BUT those people don't go for American Idol. The chick from Evansense is MUCH stronger vocally than Gina (and I can't stand Evansensce). If any of our judges had any knowledge of the style they would have torn her to shreds as they do when somebody butchers a tune by Whitney or Celine. Same with Daughtry, he was a very mediocre Rock guy, but they don't know the style at all, so they loved the way he butchered the tunes and made them all tough sounding, when they actually sounded pretty wussy, partially due to a band that is too technical to REALLY Rock. Daughtry has the #1 song in Casey's Top 20 right now. I don't like it, but it's true.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 2, 2007 -> 10:12 AM) I realize not many here are doctors but I figure I will give this a shot anyway since it's a weird thing to search for on google. Just about everyday I wake up with facial pain and a slight headache. Really makes no sense at all. Anyone got any clue wtf that might be? Is there an ass print on one side of your face? Happened to me in college. Roommate.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Mar 2, 2007 -> 10:54 PM) 40 out of 48. Try dropping Rhode Island, I felt like I was playing Operation on crack. That was actually my biggest problem - speed. I was rejected on Colorado, and I knew where it went, but it took me three times to place it. It happened a couple of other times as well. I still would have struggled with the Northeast in this timed test.
