QUOTE(TornLabrum @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) I'll contradict you somewhat on that, Steff. I exchanged emails with Kurt on this very topic. TOMORROW is the deadline to guarantee a seat with the group. Other tickets may be sold in the same section after tomorrow, so there is no guarantee that persons ordering after tomorrow will be with the rest of the group. As of this morning, there were 110 tickets sold. So my advice is, if you want to guarantee a seat for the game with the rest of the group, fax or call in your order if possible by tomorrow. They need to get their crapola together over there. This is the THIRD version of the deadline.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 02:36 PM) You and your damn semantics. We all need to have a Steff Semantics class so we can make our time more enjoyable at soxtalk. P.S. I got what you said the first time, but if you read it quick, you won't. I thought I might not have typed it clear enough.. but I have to remember YAS is an old fart and I have to 'splain things slowly to him.. :running and hiding in a really, really, good place...

Nice to see it raining outside... Grass needs it. And luckily on an off day.

That's not what he said. The quote is earlier in this thread and it's not that.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) One can make a case that Ozzie idiotically overuses his starting pitchers (which I've been saying for a while now). Is it a coincidence that Duque, the least worked of the 5, has the best stats? Definitely could be a reason. Definitely..

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) Whatever. So many around here are quick to point fingers at members of this team. It gets old. So many... try EVERYONE at one time or another. Please... No one here is innocent of the hypocrite label.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:27 PM) It sounds to me like you are describing exactly how s*** rolls downhill. The "person moving" being the final consumer. Uhhh.. yea. He, as a private owner, would be delivering directly to the final customer. Which is why I said... "As the owner of a private trucking company I don't think his customers would be the type to be passing anything onto consumers."

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) As misguided as they are. Come on... get off his back. Seriously. Agree to disagree, build a bridge, and get over it.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) Honey, s*** always rolls down hill. Not always it doesn't. We charge our agents, they charge their drivers, and they charge the customer (the person moving). For us it ends there.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) I didn't see it in the Sun Times this morning on the train ride in. Maybe it's on the website?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) And his customers will pass it on to their customers, who'll pass it on to ... us. Of course, we'll have less disposable cash because gas is so high so we'll buy less at the retail level. Which means, retailers will order less merchandise, which in turn will lead to layoffs in the retail, shipping and manufacturing sectors. Less people working, less disposable cash. Yada, yada, yada. As the owner of a private trucking company I don't think his customers would be the type to be passing anything onto consumers.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) Fixed.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 12:38 PM) Didn't like the lunch you packed him, eh?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 12:33 PM) Maybe his face always looks like a stupid ass. LMAO...

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) Who cares? On a personal level everyone is an asshole sometimes, even a lot of the time. Irrelevant. I just want to know what he said and might have meant. Do you not have access to a newspaper...? Or maybe the Suntimes web site?

You'd think they'd fix that stupid ass look on his face..

Today is the deadline to order to sit in the same section.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) On a personal level, that may be the case. I have no idea. Fair enough.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) Oh, and I'm pretty sure your request was aimed more at others,

This is pretty neat. 1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. 2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

Paul doesn't need to be turned into an asshole. He is an asshole. Thank you.

Ken Griffey Watch.... Ken just hit another homer.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8973440/ Widow of MLK Jr. remains hospitalized in fair condition Updated: 2:25 p.m. ET Aug. 17, 2005 ATLANTA - Coretta Scott King remained hospitalized in fair condition Wednesday and a family friend said the 78-year-old widow of Martin Luther King Jr. had suffered a stroke. King was admitted to Piedmont Hospital on Tuesday, and the family released a statement Wednesday saying she was resting comfortably. It expressed thanks for the "outpouring of care and support that's being sent from around the world." Hospital spokeswoman Diana Lewis and the family wouldn't discuss her illness, but the Rev. Joseph Lowery said King had suffered a stroke and was having trouble speaking. King had canceled some recent public appearances, raising concerns about her health. Quoting unidentified friends, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Wednesday that she was diagnosed with a heart malady this spring and has had several small strokes since then before the more serious one Tuesday. Report of stroke first denied Lowery, former president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which Martin Luther King Jr. helped found in 1957, was initially told by someone in King's office that she did not have a stroke, but he was immediately skeptical because the family is "very protective of her condition." "She did have a stroke, take my word for it," Lowery said. Poet Maya Angelou, a personal friend, also said that King had suffered a stroke. She said they spoke two weeks ago by phone and discussed her health problems. Angelou said she planned to go to Atlanta to see her. "She's my sister friend and I pray for her and her children," Angelou said in New York. "Everybody, please give a good thought, a positive thought for Coretta." At a June 30 ceremony at the Georgia State Capitol paying tribute to the King family, Martin Luther King III said his mother was "doing well" and was following doctor's orders to limit her activities. He gave no details. The Alabama-born Coretta Scott was studying at the New England Conservatory of Music when a friend introduced her to King, a young Baptist minister working toward a Ph.D. at Boston University. They married in 1953 and had four children. After his assassination in Memphis, Tenn., in April 1968, she founded the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta and traveled widely to help foster her husband's dreams. The doors to the King Center were locked Wednesday and no one immediately returned calls seeking further detail.

My wife, who is blonde, came running up to me in the driveway, the other day, just jumping for joy! I didn't know why she was jumping for joy but I thought, what the heck and I starting jumping up and down along with her. When she said, "Honey, I have some really great news for you!" I said "Great; tell me what you're so happy about." She stopped jumping and was breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down, when she told me that she was pregnant! I was ecstatic! We had been trying for a while, so I grabbed her and kissed her on the lips and told her, "That's great! I couldn't be happier!" Then, she said "Oh, honey. There's more. "I asked, "What do you mean 'more'?" She said, "Well, we are not having just one baby. We are going to have TWINS!" Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant, I asked her how she knew. She said, "Well, that was the easy part. I went to Walmart and bought the twin-pack home pregnancy test kit and both tests came out positive!
