Winter of '09 television season thread
Anybody ever catch My Boys on TBS? They might want to consider hiring some writers with actual comedic talent.

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 10:19 AM) I go to the one you probably do (Logan), and the one in south loop (State Street). Both are crowded in the evenings, and on weekends its hit and miss. You want it empty, go in the early AM before work. But at least they are clean, and the lockerrooms aren't disgusting, which is the biggest reason I moved from Bally to XSport. No doubt on the locker rooms. I felt it was only a matter of time until I contracted some sort of fungus or rare disease by spending any time in the Ballys locker room.

Joined Xsport fitness recently. What a zoo that place is. Is it ever not bursting at the seams?

Does anyone know where to drop off burnt out CFL bulbs? Home Depot?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 09:12 AM) Bah, I hope you're all wrong. I don't want them. I can already imagine what the montage footage of Chicago they'll add to the broadcasts. Wrigley field, deep dish pizza, Obama, Micheal Jordan and the skyline. That's all that Chicago is.

LOST!!!!
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 09:17 AM) Last night wasn't very good, and my god, there had to have been 30 minutes of commercials. I'm never watching this show without DVR again. That entire storyline with Kate and Aaron could have been told in 7-10 minutes not an entire episode. Seemed like it was just filler.

My mom called me last night and had me going for 15 minutes, telling me their garage collapsed overnight from all the recent rain and wind. (note: the garage is a million years old)

LOST!!!!
QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) The show is the biggest cock tease in the history of television, and it's getting hard to stick by it. I'm just deep into the show(like everyone else) you just can't give up on it, but if this was like late in season 1 or something, I probably don't come back for season 2. For real. I barely have enjoyment watching it anymore. I'm sticking around only because I've invested so much time into it. s*** is weak like clock radio speakers.

Didn't they already say that they wouldn't make any major changes to public transit for the olympics? If that's the case there aren't any more reasons I'd want to have them here. The one golden opportunity to overhaul public transit and they want to add extra bus-only lanes during the olympics? What a joke.

No interest in seeing Zack and Miri. Seems so predictable and I'm trying to cut out about 40% of my Rogen intake.

I set up a meeting with my boss and gave him my 2 week notice and told him I took a position at Playboy Enterprises in their finance group.

The Catholic Church
QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 11:58 AM) I think the main thing that bugs me here is the fact that she is 9! Lets look beyond the rape and the health of the mother and go right to the age. Does the Catholic Church really believe that a 9 year old is ready to handle this? Even if she ends up giving the children up for adoption, the mental toll of pregnancy and childbirth would be devastating to a 9 year old. What if she gets post-partum depression? This would ruin her for life (if it hasn't already). The Catholic Church is wrong here. I do understand why they did it (see: Texsox post), but I absolutely and completely disagree with them. I don't and never will.

Sox @ Angels, 3:05 PM CT
QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 03:16 PM) Eh, if someone wants to cheer against a player -- for whatever reason -- in spring training I'm not going to tell them not to or look down on them for doing so. Yeah but we both know these critics will continue doing so after opening day.

Sox @ Angels, 3:05 PM CT
QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 03:11 PM) In spring training, when bad baseball players are awarded starting jobs if they put up decent but meaningless numbers? Sure, why not? Well it looks like we're stuck with a s***ty CF unless KW pulls the trigger on a trade. Why hate just for spite? Might as well hope he does well.
