"Chicago Things" you don't like/do
QUOTE (qwerty @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) The street is in no way your property. Get over it and find a new spot. It's not yours in the first place. Reminds me a lot of someone being childish and saying ''seat save''. Sit somewhere else you god damn cry baby, it won't harm you any. That's all well and good, but sometimes you'll pay for taking a spot someone else cleared. That's just a fact.

Jeopardy Online Tests
QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 03:00 PM) I would, but I may be at the hospital with a childbirth thing the night of the test. If you take the test instead of going to the birth, I guarantee you get on the show.

Jeopardy Online Tests
I know a guy who was on the show. He lost on the final Jeopardy question. I'm really good at the show, but I'd never see myself getting past the live audition because they base it on more than just how well you do. I'll try anyway.

Major earthquake strikes Haiti
QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 09:15 AM) Absolutely disagree whole heartedly. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this and I don't understand why there are people making such a huge stink over it (not saying you are). Royal Caribbean is delivering supplies while making these stops too. Also, Labadee, where they dock, is a privately leased "island" by the company from the Haitian government. Royal Caribbean employs Haitian citizens on the resort and also grants several hundred other Haitian citizens exclusive privilege to sell goods to the tourists who disembark. Furthermore, for the passengers of the ship, they often book these cruises years in advance and it is not fair to them to alter their trip that they are paying a thousand plus dollars for. This place is 60 miles from Port au Prince so it's not as if people would be getting off and gauking or getting in the way. hell, they passengers cant even leave the grounds of the private resort. Nothing but positives come from Royal Caribbean continuing to dock at Labadee. I don't understand how anyone can think otherwise. Royal Caribbean altering their ports of call because of this does nothing but further hurt the country right now. Somebody works for Royal Caribbean Seriously though, I agree with you.

Why Carlton Fisk is still my favorite Sox player, ever
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 05:26 PM) And yet, you have an avatar of Brian Anderson getting all up in a Cubs player's business, even though neither were involved in the original problem. Was that Brian's business? Its pretty obvious this is just a personal bias thing for you, and that's fine. Just don't make it seem like its about how the game is played or something. Anderson was defending his own teammates there. That's quite a stretch.

Why Carlton Fisk is still my favorite Sox player, ever
QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 10:18 AM) I guess it depends on how much respect you have for the game of baseball and the 100+ year traditions. What does that have to do with the way someone thinks of a player as a person? Ty Cobb by almost all accounts was a piece of s*** of a human being, but he was great at baseball. Since I have respect for the game, does that mean I can't think of him as an asshole?

Official Squared Circle Thread
QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 06:29 PM) Personally - I'd enjoy a HEEL HBK vs a FACE HHH @ Wrestlemania, from my knowledge that's never been done before. But WM is shaping up - could be HHH vs. Sheamus (whack... HHH title at wrestlemania is just bad.) HBK Vs. Undertaker (i dont like this one much either, would be a good match again, but no reason for it to happen twice) Cena vs. The Rock (Doubtful but if it worked, it'd be cool, the only Cena match that I'd accept ) MITB (Kofi? Christian? CM Punk? THE MIZZ!!!!) Mysterio vs. CM Punk has been talked about in some hair vs mask match, thatd be awesome I never knew the word "whack" was so diverse. I've seen you use it today to describe wrestling, a racist basketball league, and a hurricane. But really, Michaels (from what I've heard about what's going on in wrestling now) seems to be the most obvious choice for Undertaker at WrestleMania.

All White Basketball League to Form
I hate basketball in all of its forms, so I wouldn't watch this either. Basketball sucks.

Leno going back to Late Night

Leno going back to Late Night
There are a couple of things I'm wondering. Does this agreement also take care of the writers and staff of Conan's show? If not, I wonder if Conan will make some attempt to share that $40 million. And lastly, can Conan and Fox come to some sort of gentlemen's agreement where they can start building his next studio during this year hiatus instead of having to wait a year JUST to agree to eventually build it.

Catch All Anything Thread
QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 16, 2010 -> 05:57 PM) An Orca and Great White Shark face off Weird, I was actually looking for a video of this about a week ago. I was wondering if anything hunts Great Whites, and a google search told me basically only Killer Whales ever do. Youtube didn't really yield any good videos. It's cool as hell to see something everyone views as the scariest thing in the water get put in its place.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 16, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) I keep hearing Goldbergs name being thrown around. I highly doubt that happens, im pretty sure the WWE ruined him for wrestling, and he wasnt much into it anyways. He couldnt stand being anything but a face, he always wanted a squash match, a storyline that favored him. I just dont see those conditions being met for him in TNA IMO, Goldberg was a major factor in ruining WCW. I know he boosted their ratings, but after a while (for me, it was very early in his run) he just got stale and repetitive. He had no talent whatsoever, but the crowds ate up his squashes. I hated it.

Films Thread
QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 01:04 AM) Saw Daybreakers last night. Not bad, not great. I thought it was kind of like From Dusk Til Dawn, except it's not funny. It gives 30 Days of a Night a run for its money. I thought 30 Days Of Night was really good, and definitely better than Daybreakers.

Leno going back to Late Night
QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) Even though I think Letterman sucks, I really hope he beats Leno in the ratings when Leno returns to doing The Tonight Show. It would be hilarious and typical of NBC's f ups as a network. I can see Leno's ratings take somewhat of a hit due to people intentionally avoiding it because of this. I'm sure a lot of people watched Leno (or at least parts of it) before Conan came on, and I bet a good deal of those people will be sure to catch absolutely none of Leno.

Six degrees of...

And it turns out that I (and everyone I know, for that matter) have been wrong about classifying second and third cousins, cousins once removed, etc.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) Honestly Milkman i'm doing exactly that. I don't want it to happen, but i can't help but think that it just might. I'm trying not to. The more I see and hear it talked about, the more I come to grips with it. And I don't want to do that.

Castro is back.
QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 03:49 PM) I think we can win with Jones as our DH. I just don''t think we should have to chance it. There's no reason to have to gamble on lightning in a bottle for a position that we absolutely need results from. A gamble makes sense if we're talking CF, but we need power, and we need results. Ugh, I don't even like to see that in writing. It's like we're already preparing ourselves for the inevitable outcome that he'll be starting for us.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) Ahh, yes, that possibility excites me as well. Don't get me wrong, I love Thome. He's a great person and was one hell of a baseball player. I'm just tired of seeing him out there and I don't think he's the same player he once was.

Castro is back.
QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) So you'd honestly not have him on the team and go with what we have? I'm hoping there's another option, such as a trade.
