Anyone else going to see Black Mountain at the Empty Bottle in October?

Damn I want Carl Crawford. *sigh*

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.

Has anyone seen this documentary yet? LINK

I say we replace them with Steff and Kapkomet.

I'd be interested.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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*

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.

Good news in Iraq? Link

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.

Just finished watching Idiocracy. The movie was decent but I must admit I've never seen the role of President of the U.S. played like this before. Quite hilarious.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 3, 2007 -> 10:28 PM) You didn't. I was just saying. Our whole government is so corrupt, it's unreal. That's why I'm writing in Mark Buehrle on the 2008 presidential ticket.

Where was this in April....and May.....oh and June?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 3, 2007 -> 02:04 PM) Half the starting rotation? I'd say just one, JC, is doing worse than I'd hoped. Danks is having trouble, but he is about where he'd figure to be this year. I guess I'm commenting on last year as well. The starting rotation sucked until late in the year when the offense went away. And I hate hearing excuses that the pitchers were tired because of the extended season in 2005. Vazquez wasn't even on the team the year before and how do you explain the Braves pitching staff kicking ass for 12 seasons straight?

When our offense blew ass earlier this year a lot of people defended Greg Walker and said that the players are ultimately accountable for their results. Then I look at the disaster of a bullpen and half the starting rotation stinking up the joint. Question is, if the players are accountable for their results then what criteria do you base the pitching and hitting coach's performance? What would it take to get them fired or, in contrast, get them a contract extension?
