Mark Buehrle's Perfect American Chopper
The guy has the lowest career ERA in the history of baseball, and you're brushing him off as though he were a joke because he played a long time ago.

I saw The Road yesterday. It was pretty damn good, but I don't know...I felt like it was sort of a letdown. I think that's because it has been built up so much for me, especially on this site.

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Dec 4, 2009 -> 07:29 PM) Did you end up finding your files in another location? I just upgraded to itunes 9 - it was "buggy" for me the first time I used it but now it seems ok. No, but it's good to know that it happens to other people and there's not something wrong with my computer.

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 3, 2009 -> 02:55 PM) I've had this issue, sort of. If I import a song that wasn't from a CD or the iTunes store (which I only do rarely), it will import OK, and play OK, then suddenly one day it will show an exclamation point next to it saying it can't find the source. Is that what is happening for you? No, mine disappears entirely from both the iTunes library and my computer. I believe the situation you have is that the song disappears from your computer, but remains in the iTunes library (which obviously cannot play the song because it's not even on the computer). I have no idea what is happening or why. My best guess is that certain songs get removed whenever I upgrade to a new version of iTunes, but that's a complete shot in the dark. There are two ways I usually notice that I'm missing a song. Something will remind me of a song, and then I'll think that I haven't heard it in a long time. I'll check and find out that it's not there anymore. The other way I find out is if someone else is going through my ipod (I use it a lot with parties and such), and someone will say "you need to get ____," and I'll know that I had it at some point.

I tend to notice about once a week that a song I used to have in my iTunes library is no longer there. I'm not deleting them, and they don't even seem to be on my computer anymore. Anyone have any clue as to why this might happen? I'm not sure if the songs are deleted at random, or if a bunch are deleted at once and it takes me a while to notice specific ones are missing.

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Nov 27, 2009 -> 02:47 AM) Most likely, you'll get a trophy. No trophy haha, but nothing to make it worth it anyway. For reaching 50 feathers, you get a pretty cool war hammer. For getting all 100, you get a cape that raises your notoriety level for some reason. I just wanted to beat the game fully, and I did.

Rock and Roll HOF Nominations out
QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 12:53 AM) I was just about to say that. Hip hop HOF... sure.. first ballot. Rock n Roll? WTF is that s***? I never heard of Abba, so I youtube'd them. Felix wtf are you listening to? You haven't even heard of ABBA? I remember hearing once that they sold more albums, or had more gold records or something, than the Beatles. Either way, they're like top 5 in record sales ever.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 30, 2009 -> 10:27 PM) Let me also point out a sad irony for anybody who hasn't noticed: The top four spots (well-deserved) in the pantheon of rock and roll — an American invention — are all Brits! Simply put, British bands absolutely trump American bands...or any band in general.

This is great. I did not expect the Who to get the #2 spot at all. So many people I know aren't big fans of theirs at all, leading me to believe that it'd be hard for them to crack the top 10. I think now that it's pretty obvious the top one will be the Beatles (of which there was never any doubt), with the Who coming in second.

Comments Thread - 50 Fav Rock Acts
I voted the Who as my #1, so I think that would make them basically automatically on the list (especially if at least one or two other people even had them somewhere on theirs). So, I wouldn't worry about it.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 25, 2009 -> 05:32 AM) Assassins Creed 2. That's all I need to say. I've just about beaten it. The only thing is that I only have about 20 of the 100 feathers for that collection. I'm sort of curious as to what happens when I collect them all, so I may have to use an internet print-out to find them all.

I doubt anyone cares, as Modern Warfare has everyone's attention, but Assassin's Creed II has been awesome. They've added so much to the original game, which itself was great, and all of the additions have been improvements.

What instrument do you play?

Singular Form of Sox
QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Nov 20, 2009 -> 06:00 PM) I remember seeing a trivia question that asked for the names of the teams who are not plural like the Heat or the Lightning and both Sox were on that list. If you're talking about the sporcle quiz, it just asks for the professional teams that do not end in an "S."

Official: Omar Vizquel Signs with Sox
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2009 -> 11:59 AM) I am sure he will do his filling in, but to me, this is a great move as essentially another coach. Then couldn't we just sign him as a coach? The guy will be 43 next season. I understand that he has been a great defender in his career, but he can't honestly be anywhere near as good as he was.

Assassin's Creed II has been boring so far (as I was told, a long introduction to the storyline and actions), but it's obviously already going to be much better.

I know age plays a major factor in musical taste but you just gotta have bands like Pink Floyd,Led Zeppelin,AC/DC in you top 20 no matter what age you are,don't ya? I just hope the Jonas Brothers aren't on the list. No.

Tribune Bias?
QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Nov 19, 2009 -> 10:31 AM) I don't know if it is a bias as much as a catering to corporate Chicago. There is a silliness about Cub and Bear coverage that I rarely see with the Sox, Bulls and Hawks. The Cubs and Bears not only have a huge following throughout Chicagoland (and nationally for the Cubs), but the concentration of Cubs fans in the business district has always seemed very over the top to me. They are very intertwined with LaSalle Street and the dumb, over the top stories just seem to fit their fan base more. Every once in a while, the big shoulders, blue collar pandering story about the Sox, Bulls and Hawks comes out, but it is usually a blurb more than anything. I personally can not listen to Bears and Cubs fans for precisely this reason. There is a silly adoration and obsession with their teams and a false sense of entitlement/royalty in their so-called traditions. It comes out in the news coverage as they are simply trying to meet the demands of the readers. You're a smart man, Pants.

Wait a second, I think I might have forgotten to put Queen on my list. If I did, my list should be discarded entirely. Knight, did I?
