I hate North Dakota football too.

Getz haters.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 03:44 PM) Ron, what music do you listen to now? If you try Pandora and make a station of bands you like, the system selects different bands similar to bands that you like and plays their music. Hey thanks for the Pandora link. I used to use Pandora and then I didn't have a computer for a couple of years. I had forgotten about Pandora. I was surprised to see the "stations" I had saved were still there. Pretty cool!

Altz iz gut!

The 50's and early 60's aren't gettin' much love. I didn't vote for that period but I loved that time. I really liked old doo wop and R 'n B and even rockabilly (Gene Vincent, Elvis etc.).

60's and early 70's for me. I loved the British invasion stuff, american garage bands and psychedelia.

They were in their very early twenties, didn't speak a word of English, didn't have jobs or know anyone here. Think about how ballsy that was. It amazes me all the time. I often marvel at just how ballsy that is. I imagine myself going to some foreign country where English isn't spoken and seeing how I would fare. It's frightening.

My Dad had an IQ of 180. It didn't rub off on me any. He was German translator during WW2. After the war he stayed in Germany and worked for a publisher. He authored a book about his experiences in the Fighting 69th.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) I don't even get pissed anymore over this crap.... Me neither. I don't pay a whole lot of attention to a game in progress now because I expect CRAP. I don't wanna get pissed off watching crap.

I will miss Jim Thome being a member of the White Sox. Really nice first class guys like him just don't come around every day. Considering his last injury-riddled year with the Phillies he bounced back and had a pretty good tenure with the Sox. I wish him well and hope he gets a ring with the Dodgers.

Due to my moving to frickin' Utah in 2005, I only went to one game that year. Jose pitched and beat the Twins (Crazy Carl homered twice). Fond memories! Jose was a class act if ever there was one. He will be missed in that respect. Adios, mi amigo!

You're...AHEM......probably right.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 04:57 PM) 1995 and 2007. Those have been the two most pathetic White Sox seasons I've had to endure since I became a fan in 1991. I watched as many games as I could. Even when they were 20+ games out. I'll never understand the "I ain't watchin' this team anymore because they're playing like s***" garbage I hear around here. How is that any different from a token bandwagoner? It IS no different from a token bandwagoneer. I will watch 'em when I can and follow the games on the net which is what I mostly do. I will religiously check all the box scores and keep an eye on all the stats. I'm eager to see how any September call-ups do. But that said, I'm really pissed with how the season has ended up. Oh well.

Victorious, the White Sox have not been very much of late.

Must I explain everything to you?
