OHHHHHHHH! GET ON THE BOOZE CRUISE NEIL FUNK!

Wow. The Bulls are passing the s*** out of the ball tonight. This reminds me of that first preseason game.

Rip Hamilton to start tonight.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 05:03 PM) aaaaaand back to the oscars. They were terrible this year. I mean, blackface. Oh wait, now we're back to racism.

Hm. Just noticed I blasted past 20k. I'm guessing about 30% of those were original and thought provoking posts on random subjects, and another 10% were bad LBJ posts, and another 40% are NBA thread posts. That leaves 20% for random and White Sox.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 05:01 PM) It depends on how hot.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) When I read a list like that, my brain keeps piling up reasons to find ways to "ignore" this person. Facebook removal, blocking whatever you can from them, etc. A taunting is a push in the wrong direction, because now you'll have to deal with a dozen "what do you mean" and "How dare you" posts followed by an equal number of reprisals. But that's the funny part. I'm an agitator at heart, so if you toss them some of their own medicine and then completely lock down all communication, it's the ultimate victory. But either way, block that c*** from everything.

PS CHRIST WAS WHITE

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 04:58 PM) jesus christ, no. LOL. This response absolutely sums up my thoughts.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 04:51 PM) you and Steve - you just have no idea about working in the entertainment industry so you should both keep your mouths' shut on the issue. You have no idea how hard it is. You have no idea the hours that go into it. You have no idea how many auditions she went to that she DIDN'T book - so to book two gigs per month means she has been working her ASS off. The gigs ARE NOT the work in this field. The work is the auditions. Day in and day out going in sometimes multiple times a day and having to prove that you're the right person for this gig - putting yourself on the line - is incredibly difficult and takes a LOT of work and preparation. You sometimes have to learn almost an entire role, just to be told they're going in a different direction. Let me explain it from a personal experience. Jersey Boys. Great show - y'all should see it. I'm perfect type-wise for the Frankie Valli track. They brought me in to what they call "Frankie Camp" where you spend a week learning the songs, the lines, the dances, the character - EVERYTHING. Then at the end of the week they say "alright guys you were great. Some of you will hear from us in a couple months, some in 2014, and this might be the end for some of you too". After pouring everything you've got into it, you have to move on and forget about it and go back to your day job and just keep on auditioning. And you tell me what we do isn't hard work? You have no idea. I agree. I have no idea. I believe I stated that multiple times.

But prior to doing all that, send her a text telling her to go straight to hell.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 04:40 PM) I mentioned to you guys about the girl who broke up with me right after Christmas. We hadn't dated for long, 3 months when she pulled that move on me. I hadn't talked to her for weeks, the last time I heard from her was after I bumped into her mom about a month ago. After her mom told her about our convo, my ex said, "Thanks for making my mom hate me even more, she's really mad I dumped you." I didn't want to deal with her immaturity and game playing so I decided from there on I wasn't going to talk to her. Last week comes and she texts me flipping out about me being a facebook friends with another ex boyfriend. I told her we knew each other from playing softball together, not a big deal. And a few hours later she texts me again asking me if I'm driving by the bar she works at. I was busy doing p90x2 and job searching so I wasn't driving by the bar. I tell her later on no I've been working out and job searching and she responds, "Oh yeah I forgot you're buff now, hahahaha and how's that Northern Iowa degree treating ya?" I told her to leave me alone if she's going to try to talk bad about me. Then at like 2 in the morning she responds back to me saying she'll see me Saturday night at a party with her sexy love of her life boyfriend who doesn't need to workout to be gorgeous (who's close to 40 I hear, she's 24) and kept saying she's so happy she's in love. I told her she's not making me jealous at all, she's making me happy she has someone new so she can cut her losses with me. Then she starts calling me all sorts of names like creeper, stalker, loser, pathetic, saying I drive a chick truck, just all sorts of stupid stuff. I finally asked what she wanted and she said "Hehehehe figure it out ." Then I said I'm done playing your games, it's obvious you want to talk to me but I don't want to talk to you so leave me alone. She started saying the same stuff over again but I didn't respond. I saw her Saturday night with this guy and she kept trying to talk to a few of my friends. I ignored her so who knows what dumb games she was trying to pull with me. At least there were a lot of people around at the party. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday just made me feel terrible. I had been so happy the last few weeks working out, hanging with friends, doing my own thing. I knew I'd see her Saturday so I was kind of dreading it but figured I can't change my plans because she was going to be around. I can't lie, my anger towards her has been my motivation with doing p90x2 and it's gone well. This nonsense she's pulled with me has energized me more. I don't know what she wants from me. She's obviously was trying to play a game with me. I don't know if she dispises me, or still likes me somewhat. Or maybe she realized I haven't been trying to talk to her so she wanted to seek attention. Or she just wanted to make me jealous or something entirely different. I'm probably never going to find out and that's ok, this girl has serious issues. This broad sounds like a cold, hard, mean b****. Just ignore absolutely everything. That'll drive her absolutely nuts. Block her on facebook so she can't see you and she can't see if you are friends with someone. Block her number. Make her not exist.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 04:25 PM) That long review did say that it is a very well-acted film and could be entertaing. That long review is actually kind of ridiculous. But, oh well, I guess that just because the author is a black man that means it's completely 100% dead on accurate.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 04:18 PM) The book was also the same way (apparently, I didn't read it). You can read this long review that details a lot of the problems with the story, if you want! Essentially, the dialect is seriously overdone, the black characters are "Magic Negroes" that are used as plot devices to help white people, the black men are barely portrayed and then only in negative stereotypes. Some excerpts: That dog as your avatar could be classified as a magical negro. I'm not arguing any of the above with you. However, the film was entertaining (for a "wife wants to see this, oh what the hell" flick), and her performance was really, really good. The Help obviously didn't win Best Picture, so I don't really see the point.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) Not to make this a debate about whether she worked hard or not, but 90 appearances in 15 years is an average of 2 per month. That's gotta be like a max of 2 weeks of work per month. Is that really a lot in the grand scheme of things? I did point out it was the perception of these celebrities and industry wizards who were applauding her work. Also, those were television and film projects. Many of the tv projects involved multiple episodes which would push that number over the 200s if not higher, but I digress. Clearly, those in Hollywood have a false sense of work, but I was basing it on that given they were the ones applauding.

BULLS VS THE VAUNTED HORNETS TONIGHT I AM EXCITE FOR ANOTHER 30 POINT LEAD IN THE SECOND QUARTER GO BULLS JIZZ

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 04:07 PM) The Help is actually another great example of Hollywood patting itself on the back for boldly confronting racism and social injustice while getting the thing completely wrong and relying largely on stereotypes for minority characters and white people saving the day. You realize it was based on a really popular book and that every single movie doesn't have to tell the entire story of the Civil Rights movement, right?

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Cardinals and Yadier Molina are close to a five-year contract extension in the range of $70-75 million. I like this. Anytime I get the chance to lock up a catcher with an 88 career OPS+ at 5/70, I'm doing it.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 03:47 PM) why is it so hard to fathom that Octavia Spencer may have deserved it? Since 1996, Octavia Spencer has appeared in 90 television and film projects, most of them small roles. If there's one thing these actors recognize, it's work. They think work is hard (I wouldn't know), and they certainly respect those who put in their time. She works hard as hell. She was fantastic in "The Help". I see no reason she shouldn't receive a standing ovation.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 03:50 PM) No thanks. If you think a sport that has seen it's brightest star succumb to concussion is going to continue to allow talentless hacks to get in bloody duels on the ice, your head is broken.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 03:44 PM) One theory why the arb. ruled the way he did: to keep his job. That's just irresponsible journalism and makes me hate the world.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 03:50 PM) You mean: Today, 03:32 PM Because I clearly admitted I was wrong. Sorry, I was relying entirely on memory.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) You mean, I was doing something entirely different, relying entirely on memory and mixed up the day of the week. Yeah, it happens, Im far from perfect. That being said, MLB lost the day they had a test on Saturday, that required it to be shipped by Fedex, when Fedex doesnt ship on Sundays. Maybe they should use UPS, because I believe they do have some Sunday options. Oh, come on, the way you argue around here in every thread condemns anyone who doesn't get their facts straight and you start posting exact quotes. Now, you screw up your argument and you were "relying entirely on memory" and are "farm from perfect". It's all good. If you can't simply post, "jeez, I was wrong", that's your thing.
