QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) But this is one person who is taking an interesting, and actually a peaceful stand and statement. I also am not so sure I would relate this war to WWII, nor Bush to Roosevelt. One major difference, the entire country pretty much stood behind Roosevelt and that war. I am also pretty sure that if he could, Roosevelt would have loved to have had a conversation with every single parent who lost a child in the war. It was a much different situation. I know this is stirring a bee's hive, but the two men aren't anywhere near the same, regardless of the job they hold/held. No, the whole country did not stand behind Roosevelt. He had to secretly send aid to Europe for years. The public did not favor going to war until Pearl Harbor.

This is a test for men only and all "real men" will answer "C" to all of these questions. However, women will also benefit by reviewing them, so that they get to understand men and thereby enrich their own lives. 1. Alien beings from a highly advanced society visit the Earth, and you are the first human they encounter. As a token of intergalactic friendship, they present you with a small but incredibly sophisticated device that is capable of curing all disease, providing an infinite supply of clean energy, wiping out hunger and poverty, and permanently eliminating oppression and violence all over the entire earth. You decide to: A. Present it to the President of the United States. B. Present it to the Secretary General of the United Nations. C.

You have been seeing a woman for several years. She's attractive and intelligent, and you always enjoy being with her. One leisurely Sunday afternoon the two of you are taking it easy. You're watching a football game; she's reading the papers when she suddenly, out of the clear blue sky, tells you that she thinks she really loves you, but, she can no longer bear the uncertainty of not knowing where your relationship is going. She says she's not asking whether you want to get married; only whether you believe that you have some kind of future together. What do you say? A. That you sincerely believe the two of you do have a future, but you don't want to rush it. B.

Yes, he was with Pittsburgh until last year when he was with the Raiders. Now, he's not on their depth chart and not in the list of players on nfl.com.

Anyone know what happened to him? It looks like he's not in the league anymore.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:59 AM) Funny part is there are a bunch of his friends who didn't know his real name until recently. That's funny. I used to "roady" for my buddy's band. His bass player set up a gig and they neede a list of all the people that would have back stage access. The bass player said "Red." (That's just what they all called me. (I have red hair.)) The guy said, "I need his real name." The bassist thought for a while and said, "You know what, I don't know it." So, when the show happened and the stage manager was handing out back stage passes he was reading off the list and said, "Red." It was funny. Thank you for reading my boring assed story.

While it's technically a "mock" memorial, it's classless nonetheless.

Popeye. Mr Eye. Eyeball. Red.

Wow. :headshake

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 06:13 AM) Yes. Conspiracy theorists believe he actually re-recorded it back in the studio later. Compare that to the almost emotionless coverage of the second plane hitting the tower. That was on WLS.

QUOTE(UofIChiSox @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) It's an unpunishable crime. I'm a homeless guy in the dead of winter, I beg for some money. Either I get money from people, and am cold on the street. I don't get money from people, and am cold on the street. Or I get picked up by the cops. Then what? They fine me? All the money I've got? or send me to a nice, warm jail and give me a meal or two? Might as well beg, won't possibly be any worse off. You're homeless?

Happy Birthday, brother. God bless you and all the brave men and women you proudly serve with!

I love the term, "Advocates for the poor." That cracks me up everytime I read it.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 09:02 AM) You need to try a LOT harder That was too easy and that's the best you could come up with? Weak!

I also only looked because you put it in SLaP. I was one of the 4 not reading the Griffey thread.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:58 AM) True Fact: J.S. Bach drank 36 cups of coffee each day. I read a paper on Bach's minuets back in college and got hung up on the description of the persistent two-bar hypermeter phrasing he maintains during most of those zippy little numbers. It turns out he was completely hopped up on cafeine the whole time, so that explains a lot. So, you're saying that if I tried a little harder I could be a genius?

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 07:51 AM) That'll still leave him $90 short...

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:30 AM) wait until you get older . . . That's why I only drink coffee part of the year. I used to drive a truck and be able to drink that much coffee and not have to go potty too often. But, it got pretty bed where I had to go every 20 minutes, and I mean GO NOW!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:11 AM) Jesus, 10+ ???!!! Why not just have an I.V. hooked up?? I bring a thermos to work everyday. Coffee (the caffeine) doesn't do anything for me. I can drink 20 cups and go straight to bed. On the weekends, during the winter, I drink coffee from the moment I wake until I go to sleep at night. I just keep adding coffee into the strainer and water to the machine. I have a system.

I drink 10+ cups of coffee a day during the winter, but completely give it up in the summer. Beer...that's a year round season for me.
