QUOTE (The Critic @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 08:55 PM) On another board I frequent the consensus was "rich Corinthian leather". I guess the Corinthian part brings people together, and the first adjective drives us apart. Corinthian being the second adjective......ah, f*** it. Y'all are all wrong, it was SOFT Corinthian leather, so sayeth the Wikipediites.

True, and I don't get nearly enough opportunities to enjoy them with kids around. Had a nice Fuente Hemingway Christmas week along with a wee dram of Laphroaig outside on a brisk night and it was wonderful. The person below me has bought some manner of lottery ticket this month.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 02:55 PM) Just a FYI, we're up to 4200 members now. Soxtalk keeps growing and growing. I propose that each and every one of them send me a dollar as a sign of site solidarity. That would be great, mkay?

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 12:21 AM) My uncle had some kind of a big metal box trap for mice and rats. I was a kid, but from what I remember, the rat climbs into the box and gets trapped in it somehow unharmed. Yeah, those are 'Hav-A-Heart' traps, and you can get them in several sizes. I used to use the small ones in my mammalogy class as an undergrad to catch mice and voles and shrews and such to either do mark and recapture studies or to collect specimens for the required skin collection you had to submit for a grade at the end of the semester. That's where I learned the mostly useless art of euthanizing rodents by popping their widdle skulls out of place.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 10:27 PM) THAT WAS A TIP TO MY LOVING PUBLIC don't hate. I never hate. don't poop.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 04:06 PM) If my stomach is rumbling, sometimes I'll take a preliminary Immodium....I don't know if you should take one with alcohol or not, but if stuffs shooting out of one end or the other, at least its the mouth. And you act like I'm the crazy. stinkybutt. . .

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 09:29 PM) hooyay Did you take your Immodium?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 08:58 PM) I hate glue traps. Better to use the snap traps in a paper lunch bag. Then, they're dead, and you can fold up the paper bag and put it in your trash dumpster. Yep. You can quickly euthanize a mouse by grabbing its head and popping it forward, but that is essentially what the snap traps do.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 09:06 PM) How many other states would execute the guy before trying to send him to the nut house? Other than Texas, probably just Florida. Yay Florida!

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 10:41 AM) I would rather recieve capital punishment than eat my own eye or any other part of my body for that matter. ^^^

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 07:33 PM) So I found out a mouse was living in my room yesterday and set two of those sticky traps hoping to catch it. Well, there was nothing there this morning, but when I came back from class, the mouse was stuck and shrieking trying to get itself free. Then I felt bad b/c it looked so helpless, but I got a shovel and put it in our dumpster anyway. Poor little guy... On that note, should I set more traps? Is it likely there would be other mice living in my room too? Gotta love piece of s***, college-student houses... Set ,ore traps, but put the poor things out of their misery rather than letting them die a slow painful death stuck to the glue trap.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 08:19 PM) Flaxx, I doubt that anyone will vote for your ABBA records. Thus proving my point! :unsure:

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 07:48 PM) Whole bunch of garbage, imo. Up, Monsters v Alens, and Star Trek I'm interested in seeing done well. The rest i agree is Hollywood still completely out of original ideas.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) I doubt that you could find 25 people that could list 15 favorite albums. Hell you say. That would be a great list. . . aside from wading through all the suck-ass music some of you listen to.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 07:15 PM) True. The person below me hates/hated buying books for classes in school b/c they're so damn expensive. True, but I hated the dirt prices the bookstores wanted to give you for the used books when you tried to sell them back at the end of the semester. I ended up keeping 95% of my textbooks because I was absolutely insulted at the buyback prices. (Now, of course, when I want a college text I can request a complementary instructor review copy, so I goy that going for me). The person blow me doesn't give a rats arse about any of the remaining NFL postseason teams.

Rule Number 1 when partying with Heads should be to question him as to whether he has taken his Immodium before deciding whether to walk in front of him or behind him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 02:06 PM) North side or south side of the street? Or right in the middle. Maybe Rock is that bum that hangs out on the median and offers to clean your windshield for a dollar?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 02:48 PM) Since so many people here ask for girl advice, I will too! If a girl is flirty with you almost at all times when you see her, texts you a lot, and then sends you a partial nudie picture, does she want you? I'm unsure on this one. Hard to say really, as she seems to be playing it real coy.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 02:44 PM) True, but I want three months of Spring, five months of summer, three months of Fall and one month of Winter. Hey Mother Nature...can ya help a brutha out? The person below me has eaten yellow snow. False. Nor have I taken a mittenful of the deadly yellow snow crystals and rubbed it all into the beady little eyes of any fur trappers with a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area. The person below me has never done anything destined to take the place of the Mud Shark in our mythology.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 08:11 PM) Come on now, Metropolis is in the middle of Kansas, it's not New York, haha. I always found that funny how Kansas would have this massive town in the middle of it. Smallville where Clark Kent grew up was in Kansas, Metropolis was always intended as a fictionalized New York City. I always want to think of Metropolis as NYC and Gotham as Chicago, but that was never the intent at DC. Bill Finger has said picked the name for his fictionalized NYC in 1940 out of the phone book. I love long time DC editor Dennis O'Neil's interpretation. From Wikipedia:

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) Also, two words you should NEVER say in a bar - "surprise me". Depends on whether you know the bartender and whether (s)he can make drinks worth a damn. If you are in a band playing at a bar that has both types of music — country and western — do not assume the drinks for the band are free just because the bartender doesn't charge you for the first round.

Don't drink shots somebody bought you until you make sure what it is, otherwise you might accidentally get a dose of that completely vile Jagermeister crap and then it's all over.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 11:00 AM) FALSE. The person below me is thinking of warm tropical beaches. True. Always. With tall cool tropical umbrella drinks. The person below me is jealous of me because I made and drank several perfect potted planters punches last night and they didn't.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 10:55 AM) Which is what they expected with that PhD What can I say, we Irish have a hard time leaving our Mothers.

All-time favorite TV commercials could be a really fun one I think. Least favorite commercials could also be fun.
