QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 07:54 PM) I just remember the Dandy's were very pretty and really had the 'hype machine' behind them. Those two things usually mean a 1 hit wonder career. They've always been very talented, nice to see them still around. The thing about the Dandys is that they embraced their "prettiness", Courtney Taylor writes so many songs about how pretty he is and how great he is doing, I find it very funny. But instead of finding the songs egotistical and cocky, i find the songs humorous and tongue-in-cheek. Im more pumped for the Odditorium right now than I have been for an album in a long time.

Can anyone post a pic of Eva Longoria in her swimsuit? Thank you.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) Well it depends what you want.. A terrible defensive player, who has been known for losing games with his glove, who won't get on base a lot but will hit 275 to 300. or An average defensive player, who is known for striking out and walking a ton, who will get on base at about the same clip but we'll hit 30-50 points lower. The defense isnt what is needed. Iguchi and Ozuna could play 2nd base, and Walker could purely DH.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:16 PM) Is it just me or does fried bologna sounds kinda gross? And yeah, I'm knocking it without ever trying it. If you are thinking about what Bologna is while you are eating it, then you arent gonna like it. Its one of those things thats better left unsaid.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) Anything to take off egg stains from stucco? A friend had their house egged and the eggs have baked onto the stucco. Red white neutralizes white wine and vice versa. Toothpaste the holes in the wall when moving out of a dorm room. I think egg has to be one of the hardest things to remove once it has been sunbaked. My dad had to get our house in Carol Stream repainted when it got egged. Even after it was powerwashed, there was a sheen, presumeably from the white in the egg, that was left behind.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) We had a pretty big parking lot at my HS, so a lot of things happened to cars. A couple buddies of mine had their cars f***ed with vaselin, bologna, eggs, spray paint among other helpful objects you'd find lying around the house. One guy hit my car with a carton of eggs so I put his head through his driver's side window. Whoa! What kind of high school did you attend?!!?

^^^^ Nah, I just like it with miracle whip, cheese, lettuce, and thats it. I can eat Fried Bologna, occasionally. But I prefer Steak-ums for my fried meat heart attack special.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) Well, since this entire topic is random, let me throw something out there. I heard that if you throw a piece of bologna on the hood of a car and let it sit there on a hot day, it peels the paint off of the hood perfectly in a circle. God i love a good bologna sandwich

Im jsut curious why Green Day are bigots?

LMAO. What a random post. You also might want to try "Goo-Gone" if you dont like the smell of fingernail polish remover. Its a citrus based glue/compound remover.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) thanks mike i'm going the business admin. route right now hoping to find something in sports at some point. Costanza-style. Well dont forget to install your alarm clock under your desk, complete with a pillow and blanket.

Gammons to be on Dan Patrick next. Im sure he will have something insightful for us.....wait a second. What the hell am I talking about? he doesnt even have anything insightful for Boston fans most of the time!

Im going to keep on hoping, despite the growing negative sentiment that keeps telling me that I am wrong for hoping. I just want SOMETHING done.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 01:26 PM) We are getting Ken Griffey Jr, I'll stake Bruce Levine's reputation on it. I will hold you to that....

QUOTE(False Alarm @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) you said, "outkast is more hip hop than rap." that's what i was responding to. if you'd've said, "outkast is more hip hop than gangsta rap," then i'd've had no quarrel. cuz yes, all those acts you name rap: the rap is the vocal line of a hip hop song. thus common sense and all the rest are absolutely rappers. they MC, they flow, they rhyme, they rap (granted that most peeps who listen to hip hop don't use the terms "rap" and "rapper" anymore)--all the same thing, ie the MC's role in hip hop. i don't think either of us are much interested in an argument over whether gangsta rap really constitutes hip hop so i'll leave that issue alone. anyhow, peace. just a misunderstanding over our terminology i guess, and then i kinda responded to the rest of the thread in the same post. wasn't clear to me that they were differentiating gangsta rap from the larger hip hop picture. My statement was a response to White Sox Josh grouping LL Cool J and Outkast into gangsta rap. cheers as well peace

QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) Perhaps Milwood & Lee. Every single one of our starters has a lower ERA and a better record than their Cleveland counterpart.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) Another bat for Cleveland although if Levine said it, he probably is going anywhere but Cleveland. Do you know that any one of the first 6 hitters in Cleveland's line-up would be leading the White Sox in hitting? where would their pitchers be in our rotation?

QUOTE(False Alarm @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) from what i've heard of him, big boi's a good MC, which means he raps, and he's been a pretty important part of outkast over the years. just cuz andre 3000 wants to be prince doesn't mean outkast isn't (or wasn't, anyway) rap. the term "hip hop" pretty much assumes rap anyway, as i understand it. also, the attitudes about hip hop in this thread aren't really fair. the violent, thuggish hacks that compose most of mainstream hip hop are a small minority. there are, like, a kajillion hip hop artists outside of the dozen or so that get regular radio/MTV rotation, and plenty of them deal with issues other than violence, misogyny, etc. just thought i should put that out there. and no, suge knight has never rhymed. You dont see a difference in Hip Hop and Gangsta Rap? Just because Big Boi and Andre 3000 can rap, doesnt mean they are Gangsta rappers which is what i was saying. In fact, many songs that Outkast and Jurassic 5 perform completely rip on Gansta rappers and their songs. The attitudes in this thread are not against Hip hop, they are against Gangsta Rap. The violent, thuggish "hacks" may only make up a small percentage of what is out there(doubtful), but alot of the mainstream rappers came from that background. Ludacris, 50 Cent, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, even Bone Thugs n Harmony could be considered among this group, even though alot of these guys are considered fakes because their background wasnt tough enough for the critics. The MTV generation likes the violence and thuggery, and they have a big say in top 40, whether we like it or not. I, for one, love Jurassic 5, GURU, Common, Mos Def, Outkast, etc. And you will never hear me calling them rappers just because they can flow.

I see RDriesen lurking... Whats the story on the Cincinatti side? Are you hearing anything that we arent hearing? Whats your feel on whats gonna happen(if anything)

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) Yes, that part I get, but is he saying he does or doesn't think Griffey will do that? Seems to me if Levine is saying he thinks the deal will get done b-4 Wed., he feels Griffey will go to Reds mgmt. and ask for the trade. Did he speculate at all on that? No, he didnt speculate much at all. he just repeated the same things he has been repeating for weeks. He said Griffey is talking out of both sides of his mouth(which is a pot-meet-kettle type story if you ask me) about where he wants to be. I guess the only good thing you can draw from this, if you want Griffey, is that Griffey has never come out and said he wont allow the trade to happen.

QUOTE(bmags @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) i already have it and its very good, very poppy...down like disco is quite good...awesome shoe-gaze rock... spoon, BRMC, and dandy warhols all put out real nice rock and roll records this year... The Warhols definitely have a disco-rock feel about them

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) Well, I'm confused by this thread. There was one post that said Levine thinks the deal will indeed happen in the next day or so, and now he's saying he doesn't think Griffey will go to Reds mgmt. and ask for a trade? Bruce is basically saying that Griffey has to make it known that he wants out of Cinci to fascillitate the trade.

QUOTE(bmags @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) i think we really can win the season opener...i cry when i think i might not be able to watch most of this season and i'm gonna miss this ridiculously good defense we have (i'm at school in mizzou right now) Ha! The Rams and Chiefs rule the roost around you. In Carbondale i had to finally break down and get the NFL ticket to watch the Bears.

He isnt saying anything he hasnt already said before. bruce is pretty convinced that Griffey is the only one that the Sox are pursuing.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:20 AM) If someone can please post what's said (by Levine) ... much appreciated. Those stuck on a 2 hour teleconference would like to know! I got my teleconference out of the way at 10 AM just so I could listen to good old Bruce.
