must we all try to extort gift cards?

Keep telling people other than the site owner to spend money on you.

iPads for everyone, on 2k5!

Cool it scrooge.

Another pointless sound.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) Its just strange with TMac. First he spends most of the summer trying to get a job here, then he is out telling people that LeBron should have done the same thing. Well, to be fair, he sorta spent most of the summer trying to find a job with anyone who would play him and give him a chance to perform, and I think a lot of people are saying the same thing about the 2nd part.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) I'm interested to see where this goes from here. I did my law school "thesis" project on prior restraint and the pentagon papers. Obviously it's too late for this batch of leaks, but I wonder how serious they'll get for the next round. Not sure what you mean...what do you expect to see in "the next round" that would be more serious?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) Do you think McGrady regrets picking Orlando instead of Chicago? I don't know how much better those Bulls teams would have been than the Orlando teams were. Yeah, Brand would have helped, but everything else was thin.

You don't say? I ought to digest more of that then.

With the volume of corn currently being produced for processed food and fuel purposes, I bet that is no longer 100% true.

Unless you haven't been looking, there are still significant portions of corn plants remaining in those fields, and they're already being planned for corn growing next year.

Someone who knows what a cornfield looks like at all stages of its development. Clearly that isn't you.

Quit pretending you can't recognize harvested cornfields then. You're fooling no one.

Obviously you don't know your corn.

Millions of cornfields, cornfields for me.

Kinda wish I was paying attention there, huh.

Long drive to NW Indiana with no computer access...sigh.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 12:48 PM) Spoelstra has been dead man walking since The Decision, IMO. I always had a feeling somehow Spoelstra would get run out of town I think most everyone agreed, especially if there was any weak start by the Heat, that he was doomed. The reason I ask that is...if LBJ isn't willing to accept that message from Spoelstra, and the Message is actually correct...what's going to happen when Riley replaces ES, and starts saying the same thing?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 11:11 AM) Obama to announce pay freeze for federal employees Somehow the GOP will find fault in this even though they're all about cutting spending. A 10 year freeze on federal wages? That doesn't even start to sound like smart politics. Let alone policy. At least I'm sure we won't hear about how the Obama administration doesn't negotiate with Republicans again, right? Because they caved on something stupid that they'd want without being asked to do so.

I find it interesting that the message the U.S. appears to be sending around the world this week is "you can't trust us with our signatures on treaties, you can't trust our public words, and hell, you can't even trust us to keep things private".

Goddamnit, this thread always becomes active when I'm away from my computer.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 10:15 AM) Waaaaaaaah, Lebron cant have any fun. I am so sad for this Anyone think Spoelstra's wrong?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 11:01 AM) So I guess the key for the Bears is to hear all week about how much better the other team is... Which suggests trouble for the Jets, Patriots, and Packers in a couple weeks.
