QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Dec 17, 2005 -> 11:56 AM) Am I the only one disappointed that the SI book is merely the world series magazine with a hard cover? I thought it would be new material but maybe I'm naive. That's all they said it would be.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 07:39 PM) holy s***. you all got some low #'s. Mines in the 1000's. I got mine three days ago tho. It is 77 for the SI book, 91 for the CS bat, and 19 for the WS bat. I also got a picture with some comiskey park dirt - that's 115. My crystal ball is 99. The rest of the stuff is in the basement and I'm too lazy to go look. I didn't get my WS balls yet though. I imagine those are numbered also...?

LMAO.. I can see the top of my head standing at the Stros dugout.. hehe.. that picture was taken when I was on TV..

Ya know.. I've had nothing but good luck with that little antenna thing. I have to admit, I was surprised though. I thought it would suck also.

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) This won't be the most popular answer: OK, I can see why you'd encourage a child to be as educated an knowledgeable as possible about different people/cultures/religions/etc. But, by celebrating it, doesn't that cause some confusion in a young child? I mean, you raise him as a christian(if that's what you're doing) but then celebrate a holiday from a religion that does not endorse jesus' role as the son of god. If you're trying to keep him a christian, doesn't this weaken any teaching that being christian is the way to go? Not trying to be a jerk here, just curious as to where you're going with this. Can't they show him the different ways of celebration without compromising their personal beliefs..?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 11:39 AM) I just got my picture taken with the World Series trophy, it was f***ing incredible. I'll post pictures when I get home. For those who are going BRING YOUR OWN CAMERA. They DO NOT provide one for you. We were there at the start and there wasn't much of a line, so they took two pictures, and I had gone up with a buddy from work and they took one of us together as well. I don't know if they will always take that many pics, but it was really sweet. Admit it... you're the licker, aren't you.

Awww.... I knew when I met him that kid was sharp as a tack!! Hi to both him and Mrs Ribbie..

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) I gave it a listen to see what the commotion was about...wasn't really impressed. I guess you would have to be a longtime fan to truly appreciate it. Same reaction from a few folks in the office who have only been listening a couple years. They had no idea who Hank was, the history with Sam & Jessica, or the big deal over Tiny Tim... I probably would have felt the same way had I not been listening for the last decade or so..

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 03:55 PM) If you get satisfaction by looking at this s***. Go ahead. I don't. And I also don't whine like a little baby at things I find disgusting. The thread title was clear so quit your b****ing.

I think that's the one I have. I'd love a truly portable one like XM.

TVGuide.com: OK, then can you tell me who the Carver is? Campos: It's funny, because I know so many people speculate on what's going to happen. I will say this: It's not guessable what is going to happen. I just haven't heard of anybody — none of my friends, people who watch the show — nobody has guessed. We're wrapped now, so I know what happens. I'll just tell you this: You'll never guess, never in a million years. TVGuide.com: So you didn't have a little betting pool on set about who the Carver was? Campos: We did have a pool. TVGuide.com: So who won? Campos: I won $100 off Joely [Richardson]. And I'm framing it! She wrote me a check for $100 and I made her write "You win, I lost" in the corner. TVGuide.com: It sounds like you have fun behind the scenes. Campos: We're all partaking in this mystery that everybody wants to have the scoop on. It's very interesting. It's not like an Agatha Christie type of mystery, where it ends up being the butler. TVGuide.com: Right, with the candlestick... Campos: Right. You're not going to guess it, but at the same time, it makes sense. It's not random, it totally fits in with the scenes and the psychology of Nip/Tuck. What has always been the most interesting thing about this Carver thing to me is not who it is — although that is interesting — but more importantly for me, why? Why is the Carver, as opposed to who is the Carver. I'm totally stumped..

I got something in the 70's. 77 I think...

Good grief we have some weird fans..

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) I understand the whole timetable thing, where he wasn't around and all but I'm not sure they're even going to try and tie up loose ends like that. I'm thinking more along the lines of, he carves himself for whatever reason. The Carver is a sadistic bastard and probably wouldn't be unwilling to slice himself up if for the right reason. Also I think it only makes sense for the Carver to be someone who's attractive, trying to "trying to lead my brothers and sisters into the light to liberate them from the cage of beauty." - from the Carver's myspace. That sounds like someone who is attractive and thinks it burdons them. OK... how about Jude as a suspect then?

The Hard Rock is going to be a mad house. Great show. Classic Robin. Can't wait till 1-9-06

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 02:39 AM) It just has to be Quentin. The Obviousness of it being him went out the window when they showed the teaser for the finale and Quentin laying on the bed with the message on the wall and him all cut up. You were meant to believe that this means he'll be attacked by the Carver and in turn it can not be him. When in reality this teaser was meant to make you eliminate Quentin from the suspects list so when they reveal it to be him it will no longer be obvious. It will instead be shocking. Quentin Costa has to be the Carver. I've thought of the possibility that the scene was a dream.. but one other thing that eliminates him is that he wasn't around when the attacks began either. He didn't come on until after Sean was attacked. They had already done 4 repairs by then.. There is also a strong rumor going around that he is not killed from the attack and Sean & Christian ends up saving his life on the operating table...

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 07:08 PM) I am driving myself nuts trying to keep busy and not think about the last 24 hrs and the next 24 hrs. One day at a time...

This is complete bulls***. The $$ was supposed to be going to WS Charities. Wonder who else will cancel their orders because of this.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 05:41 PM) Nature v. Nurture EDIT: You can't possibly tell someone they are incorrect on that subject. Yes I can. And I can specify it with "from my experience".. which means relative to my experience and not a generalization about how the rest of the world may deal with the "alcoholic gene".

Agree if Sean or Christian is the Carver, the series is over, and they already have season 4 filming scheduled so I'd say that's a slim to none chance. Ava went to Paris, but she is in the cast list for the 1st hour of the show next week. As is the tranny that Matt beat the s*** out of 4 episodes ago, which makes no sense to me at all. Jason, Ava did have her.. "member".. removed so if she's the carver, she's using a toy to rape... which makes no sense since a condom was found to be used and noted on at least 1 crime scene other they Rhea's murder. Several theories say it's a team and that it's Ava and her ex (Alec Baldwin's role).. which I suppose could work.. but there is no motive for the early crimes if that's so since the Carver showed up before Ava was introduced, but that would explain the condom use I suppose. And Kalapse.. I don't recall the knife related to Adrian's death. Good catch I didn't even think of. And as for the Rhea murder.. that condom was claimed to have Christian's DNA in it... but they never confirmed it other then Kit trying to bully Christian into confessing - which didn't work since he was released after Kit was attacked while he was in jail... but that's another loose end that really hasn't been tied up. Also.. the girl that Matt hit and killed in season 1.. she's also in the cast list (as a ghost..?). I think the preview when Matt is seen yelling "don't shoot" is when the cops come to arrest him for that because his friend ratted him out. Anne Heche and the son's role was just plain stupid. According to the episode notes on the official site they simply left. But since they came into the picture long after the Carver I don't see any tie. That was a dumb storyline, IMO. I'm hoping it's Bobolit. Just because I want to see him back badly - even if it's just to catch and fry his ass. In his final episode when he was all doped up and he cut Christian's face, then started cutting himself.. that was some crazy s***. And he was the perfect actor to do it. As a side note... in reading the official site preview.. they say the Carver will be revealed.. not caught. I assume that will be the cliffhanger. It's going to be a good one, that's for sure.
