I've got no problem with a hat or something, but an entire uniform? That's just creepy.

I know a guy that took a fake ID to the liquor store and the clerk said, "You're not "John Smith"." "Of course I am!" "No, you're not, I know him and he's right behind you in line." The guy took off running out of the store. He had an ID of a firefighter in a town of about 5000 and was at the only liquor store in that town. Here's your sign!

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 09:01 AM) OK, I'm sorry but this is bugging me and I have to ask. 1. Who is being "owned" in this picture? The pale guy walking next to the hottie? I'm missing something here. 2. Is someone in this picture supposed to be famous or something? Change the numer 1 in the link to 2.

I'd say dinner and don't even mention that it's been a month. Let he do it and say how it seems like just a few weeks and you can't believe you're not sick of her yet.

You could always pick a song that the crowd will sing for you like Sweet Caroline or Piano Man.

Wow.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 02:35 PM) Here's the fake one. http://cbs2chicago.com/local/local_story_206121744.html (CBS) HAMMOND, Ind. Indiana State Police are discounting a sniper report made Tuesday by a Hammond man. Police say they have no evidence to support his claim and they say the man may have filed a false police report. He is NOT in custody. I thought it sounded like a hoax too, but now that this other one happened...I'm wondering.

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 01:55 PM) Yeah, next thing you know Stevie Wonder is going to announce that he's black. "I am black and you are white. You're as blind as a bat and I have sight."

Not so fast. There's a 2nd report of a shooting on the Borman. http://www.thetimesonline.com/articles/200...1b8005a59e4.txt

They've arrested the grandmother. 07/26/2006 | 02:11 PM Indiana State Police have arrested the 58-year-old grandmother of the teen charged with murder in the shooting death of a passenger in a pickup truck on Interstate 65 in southern Indiana. Indiana State Police First Sergeant Dave Bursten says Patricia Blanton was arrested on an obstruction of justice charge. Bursten wouldn't give specifics, but says she was obstructing their investigation of her grandson, 17-year-old Zachariah Blanton. Patricia Blanton was in the Delaware County Jail yesterday with bail set at five-thousand-dollars, but bonded out the same day. Zachariah Blanton was formally charged in Jackson County this morning.

...and in other news: The sky is blue and water is wet.

Thanks. Good job. Nobody's going to take credit, though, huh?

There's a lot of little snippit updates here. One of them says he was hunting with his family near Seymour and got into an arguement and left the group. I'm glad this is seemingly over, I'll be heading that way at that time of night in two weeks going down to Nashville.

Just a suggestion: On the front page where you list "On Tap for the Sox" and put the pitchers with their records... how about putting the time of the game? Same in the Series Preview.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:37 AM) Am I alone when I say these threads make me more angry than any game does? I watch baseball for enjoyment. I love the game of baseball and the Chicago White Sox as much as anyone else does, but I don't see the point of letting an enjoyment become an obsession that negatively impacts your life. Sure I want to see the Sox win, and I hate to see them play badly, but am I going to let it ruin my day? Nah, its not worth it. I have other, way more important things, that I can be pissed about if I really want to be pissed off about something. Its a game folks. I think people would get a lot more out of it if they realized that sports are supposed to add something positive to your life, you know an escape from the stresses of life that have to be worried about. If a game gets to you that badly, turn it off, and find something that makes you happy. Unless you are a person involved in this organization, or dependant on someone who does, I don't understand letting a sport anger you, for anymore than a fleeting moment. Thank you, Dr Phil.

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:35 AM) Yes you did. The Sox had a perfect August 28-0. And now hold a 9 game division lead. They also traded for Carl Everett again. Oh, OK. Now I understand why Sept call-ups are tops on our concern list. I mean, hell, if they were 6 and a half out that would be different.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:18 AM) That one loss vs the Angels last October, that was total BS! That's the only post season game I was able to go to. I'm still pissed off!!

Am I missing something? Did I miss August?

QUOTE(krankin @ Jul 21, 2006 -> 12:55 AM) whats up? I used to be a long time ago.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 09:19 AM) And then you throw the pennies at all the problem kids, right? Very nice. They still benefit.

QUOTE(Ozzie @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) Loves when he paints the picture of the uniforms each team is wearing and also when he orders the fans to "Go Crazy." He got that from Rooney - and it's sponsored now, so he has to.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) One of the real things that would suffer as a result of eliminating the penny is actually charitable donations. You know those boxes say at the counter at a grocery store, or at a fast food place, where you drop in some of your extra change? Getting rid of the penny would actually significantly hurt those numbers, IIRC. That's the first thing I thought of. I save all my pennies and usually have a coffee can full of them by the end of the year. We in the Knights of Columbus collect them for a school for problem kids in Terre Haute.

An arguement in a policy thread. Classic!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 09:57 AM) You and I both deal with that everyday working in IL and living in IN we have to file both returns. Its the same idea except spread out over every city(and state) in MLB. When you play a game in a city, you are considered to be "working" in that state during that time, and they want their cut, just like everyone else. But, if my company sends me to NY for training or whatever, I don't have to pay NY taxes. That would be the same. Working for an Illinois company and living in Indiana is not the same.
