QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 31, 2007 -> 07:17 PM) Sheesh...Rush also? Ya know who I used to love as a kid, but fell out of love with, and have tried getting into again, but I am now convinced fooled everybody by recording albums of about 75% "filler", then having 25% really good? Van Halen I still like 1984.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 29, 2007 -> 04:02 PM) Day I was Born: Come On Eileen - Dexy’s Midnight Runners - No idea if this is a good song or bad one (maybe I'd know based on hearing it). It's either the best or worst song you'll ever hear. No in between.

Did any good songs ever make it to number 1?

Birthday - First time ever I saw our face - Roberta Flack 18th - Vogue - Madonna Wedding - I don't want to miss a thing - Aerosmith

Pretty sure I'm going to lose this one to my wife. Every suggestion I make, she asks me "What does that mean?" In other words, "We're going with Guinness!" I always wanted to name a dog Rudy (for Rudy Law). I suggested Rudy last night, and my wife gave her now patented response "What does that mean?" Rather than explain, I downed four raw eggs and looked forward to surprising her later.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jan 25, 2007 -> 10:39 PM) Just try to make sure it's something that you can live with yelling around other people if the dog runs off, so you're not yelling the name of a Disney character or something like that... I don't like my neighbor, and I joked to my wife that we should name the dog after him.

I'm listening to 10000 Maniacs "In My Tribe" right now. 16 Years ago my then girlfriend (now wife) got into a fight over this disc. We were freshmen in college, and she was having a party in her room. She was playing this disc, and I asked her if she had anything else. Something less depressing. She kept saying, "Listen to the words." My refusal to acknowlege the excellence of the words led to a biiiig fight. I still bring it up every so often. I'll just say "listen to the words." It's something we laugh about now.

It's a male boxer, and my wife's original thought was Bailey. Now she wants Guinness. I'm Irish, but I don't know that I want to go that way with the name. It shouldn't be this hard to name a dog.

I've finally broken down and allowed my wife to get the kids a dog. Of course, after the new dog smell wears off, I will be responsible for walking, cleaning, picking up after, and whatever else the dog requires, but such is the life of a married man. Anyway, we don't have a name that I like yet for the dog. Dog is a boxer. I'm open to suggestions.

QUOTE(Balance @ Jan 25, 2007 -> 03:15 PM) The Adam Carolla Radio Show Bonaduce - Yay or Nay? What say you?

'06 Bears v. '05 Sox - no contest, "That's a White Sox winner." The Sox winning removed (somewhat) the stigma attached to being a Sox fan. The Sox are recognized nationally now more than ever. A lifetime of losing was lifted from our collective shoulders. The '06 Bears are a great story, but the '85 Bears are relatively recent news. They're still omnipresent in Chicago. So the '06 Bears don't compare, though I have to admit, I was really excited Monday when I heard the "Super Bowl Shuffle" on a local (AZ) sports show. If the question is '85 Bears v. '05 Sox, that's a little closer for me. The '85 Bears have no comparison in any sport in my lifetime. Proverbial perfect storm of personalities, city dying for a winner, and a totally dominant team. That season was surreal. I'll call it a tie between '85 Bears and '05 Sox.

It snowed within a mile of my house. Can't believe my eyes.

There's a sale on pear-shaped pants at the Dallas Big & Tall Shop now, so if you're in the area and are unfortunately misshaped....

QUOTE(TLAK @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 04:56 AM) Big Frank, David Wells AND Royce Clayton. They are putting the old band back together, is Jerry Manuel coming over to manage? Doubt it...Manuel was traded for a microphone.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 12:11 PM) Cross eyed, or not? Shaq? Jimmy Kimmel? Lewis Black? Forest Whitaker? all of the above? FW - definitely. Shaq - a bit lazy eyed. Stuart Scott?

I used to do quite a bit of international travel, and rather than pay taxes on the items I brought back from other countries, I used to "keester" everything to get through customs. I became quite good at it. I could probably get a small foot-stool across the border this way in my prime. Now, no more than a water bottle.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 16, 2007 -> 09:40 AM) It is too damn cold here today. I've been waiting for it to warm up before venturing to the store and it hasn't moved past 39 degrees. That's not why I moved here dammit. 28 degrees in Phoenix on Sunday morning. I ran the Rock n' Roll half-marathon (which, based on the way I feel two days later, you should probably train for). Anyway, we were standing in line to be shuttled to the start line (it's a point to point run) for 10 minutes. Then we got on a bus and waited a few minutes. We were blocked in by another bus, so our driver beeped. The bus in front of us proceded to back up into our bus. Realizing his error, the driver of that bus pulled forward. Then, just to make sure the damage was done, backed into us again. They made us get off the bus and get back into line. The back of the line. For another 25 minutes. 28 degrees in Phoenix. But, it's a dry cold.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 08:34 PM) Or him arguing with the umpire in Buggs Bunny fashion. "I was trying to say the ball was fair, but I was saying it was foul, and he was saying the ball was fair instead of saying the ball was foul." They used to play that on the Score all the time. Classic. He actually confused himself.

Look, when cigarrettes fell out of Greg Brady's jacket at the Brady's breakfast table, Mike and Carol correctly placed the blame on Greg. Oops, the jacket belonged to his friend. Barry Bonds - Barry Williams. Same guy. Sweeney is guilty.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jan 9, 2007 -> 11:00 AM) Yeah, some of those old votes boggle my mind, I don't know how you can leave some of those guys off the ballot. What possible logic is there to not vote for guys like Mays and Aaron (other than a racist non-vote, which would be pretty pathetic). I didn't realize that it took DiMaggio 3 tries to get in, that's ridiculous. In the beginning, writers were playing catch-up. The first class was 1936, and voters are limited to 10 players on their ballots, so good players were passed up for years. Here's a year by year list of the results. The players on the first ballot are amazing. http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/history/...ing/default.htm

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 9, 2007 -> 02:44 PM) Plus even if he did juice, they were not banned from the game of baseball (yes they were an illegal substance in the US, but they were not banned from baseball) so I can not possibly hold him out because of that. Steroids were banned from baseball in 1991. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/sto...sExc&num=19

Good stuff. I kind of skimmed it, and there's some pretty funny stuff. I'll have to go back to that when I have more time.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 3, 2007 -> 11:06 PM) Perhaps if you're in the mood for another western you could check out The Proposition. I haven't actually seen it yet but I've heard good things. Boring movie.

"Pursuit of Happyness" is really depressing. Something bad happens to Will Smith (who's really quite good) in every scene for 2 hours, but there is a 5 minute long happy ending. I couldn't wait for the movie to end.
