QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 03:00 PM) Anyone ever been to The Trop? I have, and I didn't think it was as bad as people make it sound. I've been to a bunch of games at the Trop. Not my preferred place to see a game for sure, but you are right, not naerly as bad as it's made out to be. I'm supposed to go to the game Thursday, but between the 3 hour drive each way, work stuff piling up, and the Sox playing like dookey I don't know if I'll make it.

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste. A taste of honey tasting much sweeter than wine Spill the wine, take that girl Take your car, yes we will, we'll take your car and drive it. I've been waiting...I've been waiting for this moment all my life...but it's not quite right Something is wrong here! I don't belong here! My daddy he disowned me cause I wear my sister's clothes, he caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose. I see you shiver with antici... pation! Stop right there! I gotta know right now before we go any further. Do you love me? Will you love me forever? I'm in love but I sure picked a bad time to be in love. Even the bad times are good, as soon as i get to you, baby. Sixteen I fell in love with a girl as sweet as can be. Only took a couple of days till she was rid of me.

Who da BOOM BOOM King??!! Good stuff.

I'm used to heartbreak from this team, but this year takes it to a new level.

I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well with the way I'm feeling my whole world turns misty blue And even Hitler had a girlfriend She thinks she's the passionate one And it hurts me so much I haven't got time for the pain, I haven't got room for the pain, I haven't the need for the pain I head out on the highway! I love it, and I need it, I bleed it, yeah its a wild hurricane He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesnt play for the money he wins He doesnt play for the respect He deals the cards to find the answer The ace that's hiding up your sleeve will cause the world to grieve, the love you had is gone, I know, you know, they know, we all know. Your black cards can make you money so you hide them when you're able. I've got a bad case of loving you Sometimes love don't feel like it should My balls feel like a pair of maracas - My balls feel like a pair of maracas. Oh God I probably got the Gonho-cocca-khackus! I said Doctor (Doctor), Mister MD (Doctor), can you tell me what's ailing me? As I was lyin' in a hospital bed a rock n roll nurse went into my head. I scream! You scream! We all scream! I wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day! Now wai-a-ait a minute! I feel aaaaaaallllllright! (Yeah-Yeah, Yeah-Yeah!) It's adrenaline! You don't even feel the pain! Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes. They call me on and on across the universe. Well we all shine on. like the moon, and the stars, and the sun. The sun, the moon and stars, in love we are - 4ever, always. It was just another night with a sunset and a moonrise not so far behind to give us just enough light to lay down underneath the stars listen to all the translations of the stories across the sky we drew our own constellations. She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars. Where are you little star? (Where are you?) Whoah oh, oh, oh-uh-oh. Ratta ta ta too-ooh-ooh. Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? I'm tired of layin' back, hangin' around, I'm gonna catch that train, then I'll be city bound. I should be on that train and gone. I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone, what am I doin hangin round? I'm just wasting my time. You spend my money but honey you sure needn't waste my time. Time time time, see what's become of me. I'm singing in the rain! I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing. I only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain. Like walking in the rain and the snow when there's nowhere to go and you're feeling like a part of you is dying It's more than a feeling It's a miracle, a true blue spectacle The Lost Spectacles were HIS OWN AFFAIR! And after all, Hare did have a spare. . . Ah-pair. Ah-pair!

Here comes Dorky Geekerstein. . . I don't know how appropriate a bee rape joke is when hyping a kids film so I'll reserve comment on that. As far as the statement itself, it is biologically true - there is some rape in the bee world. There are some 20,000 described species of bees and there are lots of different reproductive strategies, some of which involve forced mating.

America is a great place. In addition to having nearly every other opportunity available to us as educated white males, we also have the opportunity to take shots at groups who recognize that certain segments of American society ARE underrepresented and/or underserved by a host of institutions. I have been involved in science education programming targeting underserved urban minority students as well as underserved white, black, and latino students from rural farming communities. The programs were funded by federal (NSF) and state (Florida Sea Grant) monies. I think they were some of the most important and impactful programs I have been a part of. These groups by and large just don't go into careers in the sciences and that has to change at some point.

Yep, now I have that damn song stuck in my head as well.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 12:51 PM) I like it as part of an Irish Car Bomb, but I don't like to straight up drink one. My friends who took some classes in Ireland said they were surprised how much American beer is bought by the locals Your friend is right, but it's not just American beer but lagers in general that are killing stout sales in Ireland. It's the same trend that has threatened real ale in Britain and only the efforts of CAMRA (Campaign For Real Ale) have kept the trend from getting even worse. It's mostly the young pub patrons leading the shift away from endemic beer in favor of Bud, Carlings, Stella Artois, etc. It is the result of very successful global marketing of non-indigenous products to people who have some of the best traditional beer in the world at their fingertips and don't appreciate it or their own brewing heritage and culture. Going to St. James Gate was a quasi-religious experience for me. I will be very saddened if they cease operations there. But for a company like Diago – the largest multinational alcohol company in the world – how do they pass up a $4 BILLION property sale if that is truly what they would get in the obscenely inflated Dublin real estate market? QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 01:19 PM) Agreed, only as part of an irish car bomb is it a tasty drink (on its on...terrible). QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 01:31 PM) My taste buds tend to only like American beers and an occasional Canadian brew. No guinness for me. See?!? It's you young upstart know-nuthin' drinker wanna-bees that are causing all of the problems to begin with!! GUINNESS IS GOOD FOR YOU!!
