Good read from Sullivan's blog today comparing Mexico and Afghanistan.

You can't take troops out as of yet. Not stable enough. You'll die before we make that place stable enough. Alexander the Great couldn't conquer that region and neither could the might Soviet Empire. This is doomed to fail.

Lame. What the heck is the point of this? Do we really think we're going to turn that place into a successful democracy? GMAFB

Sad is an understatement.

At least 3 other songs from License To Ill that deserve it over Hold It Now, Hit It.

T.O. trade to Chicago rumor is apparently circulating per one of the fantasy message boards I visit.

Their top 100 of all time? MC Hammer's You "You Can't Touch This" is on there but "Ice, Ice, Baby" isn't? That was a huge hit even though it's terrible. Fight the Power is the #1 hip hop hit of all time? I'd replace Pop Goes the Weasel with The Gas Face. Gold Digger instead of Jesus Walks?

Brace yourselves for full on communism.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 12:08 PM) GMAFB, it does not take a sabermetric stat geek to see that a DeWayne Wise shouldn't get anywhere near as much playing time as he got with the Sox. You don't even need to see his stats at all. This isn't worth that much attention to be honest. Hence my post earlier. For real. Your eyes should tell you he sucks. Reminds of Ray Durham a few years back. I forgot which exact season it was but he was hitting in the .280s or something in May and I remember thinking to myself "Did he go 6 for 6 in the 5 games I didn't watch so far this season? The guy has done absolutely nothing whenever I turn on the tv." Seemed like he should be hitting under .100. Problem with Wise is I know he never went 6 for 6 in the games I missed. He sucked in every game he played...minus 2 or 3 plays all year.

So where are the before and after pics Rock?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 11:29 AM) Buddy, if I go see this now and it sucks you're in for it! Don't waste your time. I didn't hate it but I wouldn't recommend it.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 09:49 PM) I just found out that two students at the church/school I work for were confirmed to have the H1N1 virus this evening. Please pray for these students and all the people they may have come in contact with. On a good note, this was a 3 day weekend, so hopefully that limited SOME additional exposure to the virus. Praying doesn't work. I know because I've prayed to win the lottery for 20 years.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 09:44 AM) Two summers ago, I lost my cell phone on a drunken stumble home from a local watering hole. The next day my buddy received a call from the guy who found it and I met up with him. I dont remember the exact quote, but when I meet him, first thing he says is something like, "I'm not trying to be greedy, but I'm using my free time to bring this to you, and I didn't have to give it back." I was gonna offer the guy $20 anyway, but I was like wow, he didnt give it to me until I gave him the money. Once I have my phone, I look up my old calls, and turns out the guy had spent like over 4 hours calling an adult chat/dating line. I had free weekends so it didnt cost me anything, but an interesting move on his part I would have punched him and grabbed my phone from him. What a douche nozzle.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 09:38 AM) I really, really hate the 24 news networks. I've stopped watching them.

Guy in my league was looking for his 1st win and was up big going into last night's game. Wound up losing by 0.36 points within the final 2 minutes. Ouch

I took my daughter to Six Flag's a couple summers ago and like the big dummy that I am I withdrew $300 on the way there. After the very first ride we started walking around and I noticed my wallet was missing. Of course the $300 in cash is in it along with every credit card I own. Needless to say I was freaking the f*** out. Ran back to the ride we just went on and there was nothing there and the kids working the ride didn't find anything. This was the 2nd day of a week long visit from my daughter and now I was going to be without money the rest of our day at Six Flag's as well as the rest of my daughter's visit. I decided to run over to lost and found on the 1% chance that someone found the wallet and brought it there. And to my surprise it was there with not a dollar or credit card missing! I was dumbfounded and thankful. Apparently an old lady found the wallet. And the teenager working the L&F didn't even take a dollar out of it either. Amazing.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 01:12 PM) Nobody laughed when Larry told Sammy to "Shut the f*ck up" while singing in the show. Not too mention that Sammy has grown into a little cutie...just saying. Definitely yes to the 1st part. And what the heck are you talking about with the 2nd?!? You must be 13 years old or something.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 11, 2009 -> 08:45 PM) For anyone who isn't watching football or baseball, the History Channel is running a show called JFK, Three Shots that Changed America. They are using all kinds of original footage and audio, which is really impressive. I have never seen most of this stuff before. Caught most of part 2 yesterday. Great stuff. I'll be sure to check out the entirety of this special.

QUOTE (Soxy @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 08:23 AM) Wait, wait back up--there are boxes WITHOUT dicks in them? I know. Tell me about it! I'm glad they did a fact check on that.
