QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 13, 2006 -> 12:31 AM) The only decision I have made so far is to not choose until I see all my top 3 in person. I will be visiting GVSU this summer, UI is not far so I can go down there any weekend, and I am planning on visiting Akron and SCSU this summer too. Thats cool. When I was going around last summer, I put them all together on one big trip since most of them were in the midwest and I live in Jersey. That way, I wouldn't have to be driving back and forth between here and the midwest Before looking at the schools, my list was something like this: 1. University of Illinois: Chicago 2. Pittsburgh University 3. Michigan State 4. University of Minnesota 5. random other schools which I didn't visit (Kent State, Penn State, some others) After looking at the schools, I realized how much I hated Michigan State, and Pittsburgh seemed rather dull, although was still nice. I loved Chicago, which was expected, and I fell in love with Minnesota's college atmosphere and campus. I ended up applying to one school (Minnesota), which isn't smart, in September, and was accepted by mid-October. I was done with the college process before most of the people I knew even submitted their applications (I suggest that anyone applying to colleges does it early, its great). I had my housing application done and accepted by the end of November, and haven't had to worry about anything since then. I have an Open House on March 4th, and past that, I don't think there's anything else until late August when I move in. So yea, thats basically my entire college story

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 11:58 AM) That'd be a good discussion to have. What are some people's favorite childhood movies? Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die. Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, "The Princess Bride" was one of the my favorite movies when I was younger.. hell, who am I kidding, it still is

My only advice is to go with your gut, and don't end up going to a college just to please others. You should also check the college out in person at least once or twice, and when you are there, make sure you can picture yourself there for the next 4 years (or so) of your life. You'll get accepted somewhere, and you'll find the right college. Its just a matter of time.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 11:32 PM) I'm looking forward to it, and since I'm usually up till 2 anyways I figure I can stay up the extra hour or so. Yea, I'm usually up around that hour too (although, 2 AM EST, not CST). Snow shoveling has worn me out today though, but if I can help it, I'll be up QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) Why do you have off I have off of school because of snow, and off of work because of Lincoln's birthday

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 11:06 PM) Anyone else going to stay up to watch the U.S. mens curling match live at 2 A.M.? I'm planning on it. We'll see if my eyes stay open though, I'm rather tired I love curling. Its one of the better olympic sports in my opinion.

Sucks for Ohno, but I don't really give Bode Miller any sympathy.

You should try being an asshole sometime. Being nice all the time gets boring.

Smart decision if he does retire instead of play for the Nationals.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) Whats wrong with that? Ummm... he didnt WRITE IT?! Are you literate? This poll isn't asking for the best written song. Its asking for the best classic rock song. Writing it doesn't have anything to do with the result this poll is looking for as far as I'm concerned.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 08:58 PM) Jimi Hendrix gets off on a song he didnt even write... Ugh. I don't think Dylan wrote the way Hendrix played his guitar in that song. The song is Hendrix's adaptation of the Dylan version, which many people think is better than the original. What is wrong with that?

Section 1. White Room - Cream vs. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan vs. Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix vs. When the Levee Breaks- Led Zeppelin Section 2. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen vs. Baba O'Reilly - The Who Pinball Wizard - The Who vs. Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones A Day in the Life - The Beatles vs. Dream On - Aerosmith

every song I voted for won..

See? The MBINAA will be in all future sigs by Kalapse

The press doesn't get the story for 24 hours and 'Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good' was the best comment Cheney could give? I expect more.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 02:17 PM) This team is a joke. We will lose at Michigan State, Iowa will probably beat us at home. Hell, the Northwestern game isn't a sure thing even. Just so pathetic. A lot of people on here said the same thing about the White Sox, and that they would be one and done in the playoffs. Don't overreact

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 10:36 AM) 18" in Jersey today. Drove to work in my Scion xB on an unplowed highway for 35 miles. Yep, Newark got hit especially hard. Supposedly 18 inches, and more coming down today. There's only a foot at most where I am.

Where's George W. Bush? I'll vote for FDR. He was a great president, and helped this country get through one of the toughest times its had.

I've done it before, but didn't really do anything special. I just scanned them, and that was basically it

QUOTE(Drew @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 05:50 PM) I'm an ad creative, and I think you're overreacting. They won the division three times in a row. I really don't care how they advertise for their spring training games or season tickets this year, but they seem to be grasping for straws because they are using an overdue campaign, playing up on division titles the last of which is a year old. If this is what you call deceptive, there are lots of ads that you'd consider bald-faced lies. I look at it like so. Anyone who is in the market for ST tickets knows how they finished last year and how our White Sox did, but their successes are recent enough to still be marketable. Yea, that really sums up my thoughts. It doesn't lie, its just trying grab people's attention so they buy tickets And yea Drew, thats a pretty good ad for the Giants

Beltre is, and will be, crap. The only good thing that could come from picking him would be selling him high, but I doubt he has much interest anymore after his horrible year last year. As for the two picks, I'd take Green and Garcia. Green is a solid player, and while he might not be a superstar anymore, he's relatively consistant for a .800+ OPS, ~20 HR, 30+ doubles, and a handful of RBI. Garcia is, well, Garcia. He's got his ups and his downs, but either way, he's a safer pick than Burnett.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 11, 2006 -> 04:56 PM) ISU, you f***ing suck. Just learning this now?

Minnesota! I am completely speechless Two consecutive wins over my brothers college and the college I hate the most besides Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Michigan. This is great

Lets go Minnesota, keep it up

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 11, 2006 -> 03:41 PM) f***ing thug ass Minnesota taking cheap shots all over the place. We'll beat you up.. and still probably lose the game

Its snowing here in Jersey too. We are supposedly getting 6-10 inches between today and tomorrow.
