Lots of controvery whether SHIELD will be picked up, at what cost, if there will be an Avenger in it, and whether the Hulk will be a part of the project? Whedon has already said any major Heros will have cameos if anything. This is supposed to be about SHIELD and their job after the events of Avengers. I don't see how this isn't picked up by ABC

So Doyel, Wilbon and the guy from Hoopsworld have all written stories about Rose coming back tomorrow. Kind of odd

QUOTE (Brian @ May 9, 2013 -> 08:42 PM) Took a basic Shakespeare class my last year at SIU. Some was tough to interpret. Othello is my fav. I always like Midsummer Nights Dream

I also really liked the short story The Lottery

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ May 9, 2013 -> 08:19 PM) Am I the only one who hated reading anything by Shakespeare? I didnt hate it, but I wasnt ready for it. We started reading his plays in class in 5th grade and I just wasnt tuned into it. I read a few plays in junior and senior year and they were better the second time around

QUOTE (qwerty @ May 9, 2013 -> 08:08 PM) Anyone else looking forward to The World's End? The last film of Edgar Wright's trilogy with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. This movie is about a bar crawl. Along with so much more. I have been waiting for this one for a couple years now. Seek it out. Caulfield have you seen Dead Man's Shoes with Paddy Considine? Lesser known to many, but he is a damn fine actor. He collaborates with Shane Meadows often... you may know of This Is England. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419677/reference I'm really looking forward to worlds end, the preview is hilarious

Paradise Lost was one that I really struggled with in College. It was odd though, I really liked parts of it. But I would just get so bored at other parts and wanted to put it down and walk away

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 9, 2013 -> 07:05 PM) Weird to think I would forget details of a book we were assigned to read back in High School.... well if Spark notes included those details I am sure you would have remembered

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 9, 2013 -> 05:43 PM) Ah god, poor guy. Having a niece and nephew who are mentally handicapped, I worry they will get in to situations where they are too misunderstood as well. Well, Lenny killed a girl. So, it wasnt that he was all that misunderstood as much as he was without George's supervision Spark notes should include that part

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 9, 2013 -> 03:55 PM) I thought I read somewhere that he hasn't even graduated from school yet because they haven't had their finals? Might be a reason for the delay. He cannot start minicamps and OTAs until Oregon completes their finals, which is in June.

I really liked Flowers for Algernon when I first read it. I liked the old movie too. Was it a placebo, or was it a real surgery?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 9, 2013 -> 02:35 PM) It would be the same as resuming a game suspended by rain. Lineups remain the same. Any pitchers/players who had already been removed from the game are still ineligible to return. yep, thats what they did in the George Brett pine tar game. started it at that point, everything stays the same

I never used Cliff notes. All of our teachers would make tests that you would fail if you used cliff notes, specific things in the books that the cliff notes would gloss over. There was really no point. And besides, by the time I had hit sophomore year, I had already read 1984, Animal Farm, of Mice and Men, The Great Gatsby, Flowers for Algernon etc. multiple times. I read the first three 7 years in a row starting in 6th grade.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 9, 2013 -> 02:27 PM) Did you forget the other one already? LOL

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 9, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) http://www.suntimes.com/sports/18388493-41...w-to-relax.html What more do you want ..............I am growing tired of your make things up one liner rhetoric..............this is the second time you have used this in a reply lately. I said KW has veto power and he does. "His duties are bigger picture now. He still oversees every aspect of what the Sox do, but he deals less with the minutiae. Hahn and his staff can come to Williams for guidance or approval. Williams says he does retain ‘‘some’’ veto power. He said he could envision a scenario in which he would veto a trade." You are basically calling Hahn a puppet, which he is not. And only rhetoric is your constant negativity towards everything white sox, even when things are going good. In the form of one liners.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 9, 2013 -> 01:16 PM) Andrew got banned for this?? Booooooooooooooo. He didnt get banned. Cant imagine why anyone would have a problem with time off considering how many people he insulted in that short span of posts

I dont know if I could hatef*** someone knowing that i will leave smelling of picklejuice and shame

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2013 -> 08:00 AM) 4 posts for a winner thread? Welcome to Soxtalk!

QUOTE (Brian @ May 9, 2013 -> 07:29 AM) As ridiculous as the officiating seemed to be, hard for me to linger on it too much when you lose by 40. If the Bulls lost by like 5, then I wouldve been more frustrated by it. the thing is, it pretty much guaranteed a blowout. the refereeing got so out of hand early that the Bulls trotted out a lineup of marco-teague-nazr-cook-gibson early in the 2nd quarter. The Heat did nothing but bully tactics and cheap shots and got away with it. THe bulls pretty much had no chance to win this game.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 9, 2013 -> 06:23 AM) KW has VETO power over anything Hahn wants to do so in reality KW is still the GM without taking the heat on a daily basis. You just make things up for bad one liners.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2013 -> 09:51 PM) So the whole difference is Weaver's out and Santana is gone? Has to be more to it than that. Or Hamilton's piss-poor start. Why are you completely missing the fact that this team has not been playoff worthy for quite a while? It isn't one player, it is the team

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) Interesting situation. They don't have the pitching (Weaver's out), the bullpen's nothing like it was in the heyday of Shields/K-Rod, but when you have that kind of payroll, something better than 11 games under .500 is rightfully expected. Can losing Torii Hunter's leadership hurt THAT much? What exactly did Torii Hunters leadership get them? They spent big last offseason too and still werent a playoff team.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2013 -> 06:18 PM) By the way, who would actually want to see the Twins play, compared to about 20-25 other teams in MLB? If those were the numbers against the Red Sox or Yankees, you'd have a much stronger point. There was absolutely no point caulfield
