  1. Which part of Texas are you in? I don't think Illinois offers this. Am I mistaken?
  2. Although I currently don't own any console, the latest in-game footage of MGS4 looks astounding. Huge fan of that series.
  3. QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 03:45 PM) Anyone listen to the Raconteurs? I've been listening to them a lot lately, and I must say, they're pretty damn good. They've got a classic feel (sort of like Led Zeppelin), but also mix in a new, indie rock taste. I'm not really one for indie rock bands, but they do a pretty good job of blending the two, and are a good listen. Plus, they've convinced me that Jack White is a musical genius. I still listen to their album. I tend to play various genres on shuffle. Good album.
  4. Everything points to the Sox winning easily but for some reason I feel uneasy about this one.
  5. Anyone else going to see Black Mountain at the Empty Bottle in October?
  6. QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 01:51 PM) They'd have to clear a spot on the 40 man roster than. And this is a better PR move anyways. I think he was being sarcastic. As in, who cares about power numbers in the minors.

    Received Capote from netflix. I have a feeling this one will be sitting on top of the counter for awhile. I forced myself to order this but seem to have no interest to watch it.
  8. Has anyone seen this documentary yet? LINK
  9. I say we replace them with Steff and Kapkomet.
  10. http://maps.google.com/ Yes...I am a smartass.
  11. This made me angry. http://tinyurl.com/2youyc

Every one of them you say "this is the love of my life" and then a month or so later, you come back for more, with a different "love of my life" sob story about how they are toying with you. If you come here for advice, no wonder they don't like you. It's like you read my mind. That's a scary thought.

    QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 01:48 PM) Hot Fuzz was awful, I have no idea why everyone raves about it. I think I laughed twice the entire time. I felt the same way. But I did go see it in a theater on a night where I was dead tired and started nodding off.
  14. QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 01:23 PM) not too get too far off on a tangent, but I remember a few years back when they first started the increased fines in construction zones, it was a kneejerk reaction to a worker being killed by a speeder. They failed to mention that the speeder was drunk. or that of the 7 previous fatalities in the previous 7 years, 6 of those were also from drunk drivers, and one was from a worker who backed over a coworker. So regardless of the fines, etc, the drunks were going to speed anyway. So all that fine does is screw you or me if we happen to be going fatser than 45 and a cop was bored. or we get nailed by a f***ing camera, which is also bull. It is revenue generation under the guise of worker safety. I tend to agree with your views on this.
  15. QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 01:00 PM) We'll talk about it in the winter. Well with global warming (yes it exists!!) Chicago winters have become rather mild. It rarely snows.
  16. QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 12:26 PM) It's been that way here this summer. Now, we're getting Texas weather, plus the humidity, because the ground's moist from all the rain. Air temp of 102 + humidity. Nice! Oh my. How can anyone live in that God forsaken climate?
  17. QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 12:56 PM) But it wasn't alarming when Saddam was in charge. Oh come on now. You're stretching a bit. And lets keep the Iraq posts in the other thread.
  18. QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 12:52 PM) but in Iraq, that's ALARMING! I'm sorry, I had to. Why I oughtta! *shakes clenched fist*
  19. QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 12:10 PM) "where an estimated 268 women have been killed since 1993" Not to sound insensitive about the deaths of 268 women but that isn't an alarming number of deaths in a span of 14 years.
  20. This pretty much sums it up for me. A quote from Tim Russert yesterday on Meet the Press:

    QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 09:03 PM) I can't stand Luke Wilson, hate Dax Sheppard and I find Maya Rudolph annoying and yet I actually enjoyed Idiocracy. Terry Crews as President Camacho saves the movie from mediocrity. His speech in front of congress is quite humorous. I mean come on, what's not to love? I love the photos of President Camacho strewn about the White House.
