Milkman delivers

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 01:50 PM) That's sort of circular, though, isn't it? It is about feeling beautiful, pretty, wanted, desired, etc. And thanks to the advertising trends, they're repeatedly told that, in order to be those things, they need to be a size zero. Could just be natural body build. Myself, my younger brother and my grandfather are all 6'2" to 6'4" and we all weigh under 170 (at least my grandpa did when he was younger, has a whiskey gut now). I eat 2-3000 calories a day and don't exercise as much as I should (read: I'm lazy and don't burn a lot of calories), but I can't put on weight without consuming a massive amount of calories and lifting daily. My favorite meal is probably a 1/2# bacon cheeseburger with some ice cream for desert. My body fat percentage is just naturally really, really low. Well, there is your problem, my friend. If you're eating as few as two calories some days, you'll probably remain as skinny as you are. Now, back to your regularly scheduled serious discussions.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 12:15 PM) Now THIS is a woman! In the picture you posted, I'd do her. The one in the article...eh, not so much. Then again, one of my goals in life is to nail an attractive chunky girl.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) thats pretty much the most badass thing i've ever heard. Agreed, but only equally as awesome as: QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) I bring a cape with me wherever I go.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 11:28 AM) Well, it's not the Hall of Greatness, it's the Hall of Fame. So only the most famous players should get in, obviously. That makes Swisher a shoo-in.

I'm very proud of myself.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 09:51 AM) That and the milkman vote It goes a long way.

QUOTE (mreye @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 10:15 AM) I have three kids, so dirty shoes on our carpert might be an improvement. I only encourage people to remove them if they just came in out of the snow or something. I always take mine off at others' houses, but I take my slippers with me. You carry slippers around with you?

I can't ever remember watching Harold Baines and thinking "this guy belongs in the Hall of Fame." Based on that, I wouldn't vote for him. Thome will get in, as I fully expect him to hit 600 home runs.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 12:48 AM) Hmm, what else does this describe Hm, I could go two ways (another possible joke) on this one, but I'll take the cleaner route and say Rubinoff Vodka.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 08:48 AM) Yeah it does. Although it should be noted that the deal is a factory refurbished device I'm not sure what that means. I didn't buy one anyway, as the internet directions always work fine for me.

You're all mistaken. It's sangwich.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 08:44 AM) It might be funny if it was once, but it sure doesn't get funnier the more times you repeat it. As a matter of a fact, it only contributes to the overall blah on the board. I've mentioned it in two threads, I believe. Thank you for being straight forward about it and not taking a veiled jab at me, though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 08:34 AM) � Bert Blyleven � Rickey Henderson � Mark McGwire � Tim Raines � Lee Smith This would be my HOF list. The closers haven't gotten enough attention or respect IMO. McGwire is a tough one, but I think without knowing who was using and who was not, you almost have to ignore that. Then again, tomorrow I will probably feel the opposite... Its a tough one. I do believe Blyleven should be in, and Rickey and Rock should be in as well. Henderson deserves 95% of the vote, at least. I thought I was reading Sanskrit at first.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 11:09 AM) I found a neat Black Friday-esque website called yugster.com (yug= yours until gone) Every day they run a deal for about 6 different items until the stock is gone. Sometimes its watches, sometimes tvs, sometimes laptop items, sometimes little tools. Its never the same thing That place has a pretty sweet deal for a Garmin right now.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 08:12 PM) Must you whine in every single thread on the board? You're bored and have nothing better to do than sit and wait on Soxtalk. We get it. Thanks. Well, I thought I was being funny. Oh, and can I take a personal jab at you now? Or will I then be suspended?

QUOTE (The Critic @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 06:55 PM) http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/2008_/1228151324.php -- Randy Orton has been telling friends that WWE offered him a 10-year contract, reports ProWrestling.net. Although there is still no word on whether Orton will agree to the deal, it says a lot about their faith in the young superstar. WWE is also trying to sign Rey Mysterio to a five-year deal. What the hell else is he going to do? TNA won't be around in 10 years.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 05:55 PM) You're not American. If that isn't #1, i'm rioting. Agreed. It's like Forrest Gump. I could watch it again as soon as it ends. Thankfully they do just that.

Works extremely well, hardly ever cuts me, and is useful when trimming around the beard. I recommend it.

Ha, look at that fat, gross b****.

Not to crap on this joyous occasion, but I'm about to. I thought this was real news when I opened Soxtalk. Damn it.

QUOTE (Felix @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 11:50 AM) Just start arguing about Willy Taveras.. it makes things exponentially more hilarious and entertaining. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 08:20 AM) With contributions like that I can't see why I just can't stand all of the idle discussion. It seems like there's about 10 rumors, with just one source for each one. It takes me about two minutes to read all of the discussion that interests me in Pale Hose Talk.

That's a pretty good class, and I really don't even want to venture a guess as to who will get in. I really do hope that Blyleven and John make it soon.

A Christmas Story should, and likely will be, #1.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 09:50 AM) I noticed if I keep eating Halls all day it makes it 10X worse.Drink more reeeeally hot tea and just eat a few Halls a day and you will be better off. Also a good remedy is boil 8 ounces of water, squeeze 1 lemon, and a teaspoon of honey. Hm, that all sounds really gay.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 12:38 PM) I actually find that #1 Chloraseptic Sore Throat Spray takes care of coughs quickly. The taste isn't that great initially, but it numbs the area of your throat that tickles and keeps you coughless for an hour at a time. It's cheap and over the counter. I actually had a sore throat over the weekend and used that stuff. I agree, it works wonders, but tastes terrible. I'll probably use some of that again for the cough.
