It's smart in one sense...Has anyone seen any clips from Obama's speech last night this morning?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 09:24 AM) NOt just the women, EVERYONE was watching. However, all the women in this office said it was a terrible move. Really? The two quotes I got were, "Brilliant" and "Genius."

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 09:03 AM) I know she was picked for her pro-life credentials... the last time a female was selected as a token pick it was an epic fail. We will see how this plays out. It could either be a really smart move or a really dumb one. The last time was an epic fail not because of Ferraro. It was an epic fail because Reagan was hugely popular.

FWIW, I sit in an office by the main hallway separated by a wall of windows. 4 women in my office just came in here to watch the coverage. The only other time this has happened was if there was celebrity news or a plane crash on the TV. This is obviously creating some excitement.

Jay is a good writer. A prick and a baby, yes, but a very good writer. My guess is he'll find a gig writing about regular stuff. I wish him luck in his therapy. Actually, I wish his therapist luck in not committing suicide.

Maybe neighbor used to always say: "As useless as balls on a priest." She's an elderly woman.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 09:22 PM) I posted on the MLB board for a while before I found this site by searching for white sox forums or something on yahoo. I lurked around for about a year before I decided to register. I couldn't tolerate the MLB board anymore with some bad sox fan posters dominating the board. I used the screen name ChiSoxFan on that mlb board. While this board could be negative and tiring at times it's still better than visiting those troll filled boards. That's basically my story. I think I found it with a search as well. I joined the same day as SS2K5 (I think one member # later) by chance and we slowly figured out we worked together at CBOE, rode the same train and both lived in Indiana. Small world.

Great move.

When I quit I started running. I've lost about 50 pounds to date. I think the normal weight gain is because of the boredom. When you have that craving you look for something to put in your mouth (Mind out of the gutter!). My advice would be to have plenty of healthy snacks, fruits and veggies around - especially if you're going to be working out regularly which will increase your appetite.

Authentic Herbert Perry jersey and a hat (any of a number of them)

Most guys don't go unless their ass is bleeding, or their cock quits working. You can't say "cock" on a message board. I think it's the alien thing, but the one from Spaceballs that will sing, "Hello my baby, hello my darlin'..."

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 10:45 AM) Damn. That's too bad. I know. I lived on their Clam Chowder during Lent.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 06:26 AM) I finally remembered the Deli I like... Finkle's right next to the CBOE. They gone! It's an Italian joint now. Not too bad.

Get to Gate 2 before the gates open. When you get in go straight ahead (Not up the ramp), into the bar. When you walk in the bar you'll see the bathrooms on your left and the bar pretty much straight ahead. Ahead and to your right is a small bar that sells the wristbands to get an upper level picnic table - this is what you want. They will tell you your table number. Now head out toward the field and upstairs to your table. You have your own waitress and can order food as well. (There's a small menu on the table). And you can come and go as you please without losing your table.

Who put together those highlight reels? Boooooring!

The Ligue family were Sox fans as well. I wouldn't vote for them.

How could Subway make your sandwich wrong? You stand right there while they do it.

Steff is absolutely right. (It had to happen sometime.) Take it to HR. It's the only way to get any action in today's corporate world. Make sure they know you're serious and it is affecting your production.

I got the bat once. It now sits on a shelf in my garage collecting dust. I got golf balls with my name and "Groomsman" and the date. Those were cool. For my bachelor party 8 of us went to Vegas (4 groomsmen, 2 ushers and 1 Cantor). We all took a picture in front of the Venetian. I framed this and blew it up to 5X7. Very inexpensive, but it went over really well, especially since none of them had seen that picture up until that point.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 09:24 AM) Konerko is not washed up. I think he is still hurt and you'll see him go on the DL when this deal goes through. You don't see a drop off like this at 32. When he's a headcase you do. For the record, I've always been a Konerko backer, but the hanging his head crap is getting old. I wouldn't put up with it on my softball team. Put me in the "way and see" catergory about this trade.

Anyone else notice the white spray-painted dots all over the place? It doesn't look like grafity. They're usually at the corners of buildings, etc.
