    Rewatched A.I. this weekend. It's a shame Kubric didn't direct it. What it could have been. Still a B minus though.
  2. QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 12:18 PM) top secret notes written on paper airplane is worse. it's burned me a few times. A few of my carrier pigeons have been intercepted on occasion.
  3. QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 03:48 PM) I hope we keep Jose. Maybe not for $10M, but something doable for both sides. You can never have enough pitching especially quality veteran starters I wouldn't mind an incentive-laden contract for 1 year as a #4 starter. I'm sure he'll want guaranteed money for at least 2 years though.
  4. Is this Jose's final year on this contract or is there one more?
  5. Jose's trade value skyrocketing by the batter this month.
  6. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 01:05 PM) Kill them Jose. "The Last Boyscout" style or figuratively?

  8. QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 09:49 AM) Also, I heard Pontiac is closing/closed. Ugh, one of my favorite places in town. Indeed it is.

    QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 09:13 AM) i could care less what the reviews say. I didnt care last time, I dont care now. I know what I am going in to, I dont expect an oscar masterpiece I'm not sure it deserves the 5 seconds it would take me to queue it up for download.
  10. QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 09:41 AM) I had a personal boycott on buying his music because I wouldn't help fund his pedophile actions. Now I am free. Yet you continue to make contributions to the church.
  11. QUOTE (thedoctor @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 09:13 AM) i don't know if it's trying to establish an arbitrary rivalry as much as its trying to take advantage of the dodgers' national fanbase. Well it didn't seem effective since the stands were as full as a Royals game.
  12. QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 12:54 AM) There's a chance I might move to Seattle. I just submitted my resume for a position with Amazon. I'd move there in a heartbeat.
  13. Good read on the forced Dodgers excitement. Sox marketing trying to establish an arbitrary rivalry that doesn't exist and charge us extra.
  14. Another case of "do as I say, not as I do".

    QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 05:29 PM) I'm going to put this in here because a lot of people reading this likely have pretty nice DVD/speaker systems. I got a new DVD home theater system, and I have it working just fine while playing DVD's. The thing is that I want to get the speakers to work while just watching TV. If it helps, this is the system I got: http://www.lge.com/us/tv-audio-video/home-...stem-LHT854.jsp Any help would be appreciated. I'd just call their 800#

    QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 02:52 PM) Did anyone see Year One? That looks about as entertaining as the piece of crap I watched last night.
  17. The heck with currency. Lets bring back the bartering system.
  18. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 02:36 PM) Teams under .500 should not have 4 all stars. We'll get the mandatory one.
  19. QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 01:31 PM) LMAO, sometimes you are too much BS for anyone to handle That's what she said.
  20. QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 02:23 PM) Look I just wanna make clear I understand some people just get f***ed over and really need help and support. I fully support helping them if they need help in any way. I just feel it should not be easy to receive free support. IMO, there are a lot of people in this country, and mostly in our generation, who would rather do the minimum because they can get away with it and will be helped rather than do extra to get ahead or be on their own. And although it doesn't go with your post I do believe minors should have some sort of funded healthcare. You can't just blame that on poor people. Rich people take advantage in other areas (i.e., taxes).
  21. So now we're blaming millions of uninsured on laziness?
  22. QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 02:00 PM) I wouldn't call it "discretionary", as having that health insurance was a priority. I would have loved to have had that extra 100+ per month in my pocket, but I went without it so I could have the insurance. I would have paid 300$ for it, and found a way to make do without that 300$ if that's what it took. The issue is, a lot of people CAN afford health insurance, but since they aren't "forced" to get it they don't bother trying -- nor will they do without that extra 200$, even if they could, they choose not too. Well point is that just because you can do something doesn't mean everyone can. People have different circumstances and you shouldn't assume that since it was somewhat easy for you to get that it would be just as easy for anyone else.
