QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 04:02 PM) hey guys I have two cats and mentioned them somewhat recently in this thread. I wasn't serious. Ha, I didn't even read who wrote it, I just refused to take the bait.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 04:03 PM) Do you get pissed when someone asks you for a Kleenex? Perhaps you also hate people who use "band-aid"? Damn you smug Kleenex bastards!!!! I can only afford facial tissue! My wife says "Glass Plus", I say "Windex". Honestly, though, who the f*** says GLASS PLUS! Ha. And I'd like to repeat. Joseph. You live with two girls and you are worried about their Coach purse. Channel that aggression for the tons of sex you should be having with these gals.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 03:55 PM) I hate things that are overly popular for no reason to me. Like Northface, for example. It seems like almost every college kid owns a northface jacket. I live with 2 girls, two girls who are the ideal target for companies. Two girls who are completely swallowed up in consumerism and brand loyalty. They spend hundreds of dollars on Northface sweatshirts and jackets. They say things like "Haha, I bet she doesn't even have a Northface." or "Where is my Northface?" instead of "Where is my jacket? Sweatshirt?". I asked her once "What makes Northface so great? Why do you insist on that brand?" she says "Uh...because they are the best? Everyone wears a Northface." So I ask again, "Why are they the best? They seem like every other brand I see", she says "You just don't understand. Everyone has them, they are better than everything else". This is the same girl who only buys Apple products (doesn't have an iphone yet, but refuses to get an Android), wears Coach purses, refers to everything by the most popular brand. "Hey Joe, hand me the Windex" "Uh...I don't see any Windex. I see this xxxx glass cleaner, but not Windex." "Yeah, duh, that's Windex". She is so caught up in brand names and consumerism that it makes me sick. I don't hate all popular things, but unless I see a reason for something being so popular, I generally will be against it. I don't buy things to look cool, sound cool, or show off. I wouldn't say I am really loyal to any one brand, except White Sox! Stop worrying about what brands they like and start plowing these broads.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 03:44 PM) We talking man on man action? Because in that case I would DEFINITELY do Beckham. Wait, what?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) And 88 strikeouts isn't. Yeah, but Adam Dunn has only grounded into one double play this season. ONE. Viciedo is already at 9, tied with Alexei Ramirez. Rios at 7, Slayer at 6, Paulie at 6. Dunn at 1. Strikeouts aren't as awful as you make them out to be, and when Dunn LEADS ALL OF BASEBALL IN WALKS, I'd say that tips the scales and makes up for the k's. Oh, he's also 2nd in HRs.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) Guys, enough with the whose dick is bigger argument. None of us care about your fantasy team and whose right/wrong about this. It's official. Jason's dick is the biggest.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 03:40 PM) 6 months ago I would have agreed with you. I don't really see why it would change. LeBron is far and away the best player in the NBA. Just because he refused to chuck up a double-teamed jumper doesn't change this. In fact, it only further confirms it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 03:22 PM) And since this is the pet thread. I was at Lincoln Square Mai Fest Saturday, and one of my biggest pet peeves is bringing a dog to an outdoor festival that is cramped like that. There was this one guy who was pouring beer on the ground for his dog to drink, letting his dog eat garbage (he said it was okay because the dog was old) and just letting his dog get trampled on. I just dont understand it. Just like the people who bring their children there. Under what circumstances is this a good idea. I am not considered a responsible person, I take many risks, but you dont put your kids/pets in harms way. I don't think going to the Lincoln Square Mai Fest is a good idea with or without a dog.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 03:20 PM) I would maybe do Beckham You sly dog, you love the Slayer!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 03:18 PM) all cats are identical. I bet I could swap yours out and you wouldn't even notice. There it is.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 01:22 PM) FWIW, I think he's wrong about that this time. It's a lock that the White Sox will take a college pitcher.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 02:41 PM) In all fairness, I said if he's not dead, which currently I'm not sure if he's an animated corpse or not. Yeah, I guess, but then if we're still trying to figure out whether he's dead or not, it certainly doesn't make sense to even mention him in a thread about "locking up the young pieces", yes?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) some people think it's a viral Honda CRV ad It likely is, as those things don't happen in real life.

From mid 2005 to mid 2006, Jose Contreras was the best pitcher in all of baseball. That was a key period in the history of this franchise. I will always love him.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 03:01 PM) Except I don't spend my money like an idiot. I'd rather hate one brand and be open to all other kinds, than to be obsessed with one brand, and ignore all the other many options. You gotta have money to spend money! If those people like the products and can afford them, what's the big deal? Apple does not put out low-quality product.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 03:03 PM) Cats have individual personalities, like people. Some are shy, some are friendly, much of it depends on the type of environment they were raised in, or whether they were ever in the wild. The cats actions may not make sense to you, but they could be perfectly logical. Cats are awesome. No two are alike.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 02:49 PM) I'd never seriously disparage anyone for owning a cat...on the other hand, let me know when you start taking your cat hiking with you in the Redwoods, or along the beach on the ocean...or camping with you in the mountains... This would assume I'd want an animal with me in any of those situations.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 02:42 PM) I have cats, they solve most of these problems. Dogs are just a lot of time and commitment, plus I could never crate anything. Careful, Badger. Here is where all the dog freaks will make fun of cats for no reason, even though my two cats are the coolest pets I've ever had.

This is going to f*** my post-Sox green line to the city plans up quite a bit.

Egads, folks. Brent Morel is a garbage baseball player. Have it tattooed on the back of your eyelids already.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) I heard that live and thought it was funny. The way he said ... the Mariners made me know he knew what semen meant in that connotation. So you mean "seamen", yes? Semen always means semen, after all.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) Hawk is an employee of CSN/WGN, not of the White Sox, not of MLB. Selig cannot fire him. It would be like saying he can fire you from your job. If Selig was so pissed about this and had some authority, Hawk would at least get the weekend suspension BS. He and JR don't want him ripping umpires, and its not because Hawk is necessarily wrong. Well, you can make things up all you want, but Ken Harrelson is an employee of the Chicago White Sox.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 02:18 PM) We do, like a half acre or something. And when we are at our lake house or cottage, she doesn't wear a leash or chain. I assume the "walk your dog 5 times a day" business is for apartment dwellers or something. Oh, ok, and with multiple pooches they can certainly wear each other out - no doubt about it. My parents have 4 awful dachshunds - horribly behaved - but they have a big backyard so the things are always worn out... Now if the wife and I could visit without the things jumping all over her and barking like psychos. Ugh, dachshunds.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 01:20 PM) Currently at 80% on RT. I'm going in with tempered expectations and hope that they're exceeded. I'm simply assuming it's going to be the best sci-fi movie I've seen in years and will possibly make my wife piss herself.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 02:10 PM) I assume obedience classes would help with her biting us/gnawing at us? She developed this the past few weeks. Loves biting at us or our clothing. Stern no's and a toy in her mouth don't always work. She'll even lunge at our faces - which is kind of funny, but ridiculous. I know it's all being playful (I think), but she will not close her mouth sometimes. Dogs need consistency and they need to be taught what is right and wrong. I'm sure you can Google "training my [iNSERT BREED]" and attempt it yourself.
