Johnny's best stuff was pre-1980, imo, but I agree that the daily strips just lost another one of the giants who defined the medium.

I have been unable to get my wife's Vista machine on the home wireless network. It sees it, says the signal is excellent, but gives me an error when I try to connect. Somehow I need to establish a new node or access point but i've been unable to do that. Stinks, because for all it's faults a laptop running XP never as issues connecting to the network.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 12:19 PM) Help settle a bet. Was Jaws (the original) a horror movie or something else, perhaps a scary action/suspense? We are planning on showing it this summer at my Camp. Midnight movie, out under the pavillion, surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico. Sounds like fun to me,. What are you trying to do - see how many kids you can scar for life in one sitting?!?!!

QUOTE(Brian @ Apr 6, 2007 -> 02:44 PM) I got the early bird discount at $159. I think as long as you order it during the free preview, its $159, than it goes up to $179. Preview ends the 8th, but you can get the cheap rate until april 15th, at least through my cable provider you can.

Goodling. She Gawn. http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politicalticker/ far as I know, this doesn't change her legal jeopardy any. If she doesn't show up to testify before Congress she'll still be in trouble.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 6, 2007 -> 01:48 PM) ok, I'm game. What? Well. Dick lurking in the hedges while Bush delivers a speech in the rose garden is a curious sight. He's not sitting next to the podium or standing behind him, he's just sort of grimacing and flinching uncomfortably and skulking in the bushes.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Apr 6, 2007 -> 12:57 PM) Call Comcast and ask for it. I would assume now that Extra Innings is going to be available to Comcast subscribers that they will be stopping this promotion soon.

QUOTE(shipps @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 06:23 PM) I bought concert tickets online for a show at the Beatkitchen.Iam confused about them,on the delivery it says it is "will call" delivery option but they are general admission tickets.So it doesnt mean I bought the tickets for "will call" did I? I'm not sure I follow the question, but I'm pretty sure it just means that you will have tix waiting for you at the w'ill call' window on the night of the show.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 07:42 PM) What we need is laws that move them all into 1 city together. And Snake Plissken can be Mayor.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 05:01 PM) AJ Pierzynski: 6 foot 20, killing for fun, threw a knife into heaven, and could kill with a stare! Let me lay ito n the line, he's got two on the vine!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 12:31 PM) Man, it would be nice to see another trophy before I get to 30,000. At your current posting rate the Sox would need to win it all in Mid-July. Congrats you chatty-ass, cherrypickin' muthafu**er.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 11:22 AM) Watch the whole thing Funny stuff. The bit about Peter Witt and his psychoactive spider studies in the 60s is true. My former major professor in grad school went to school with the guy and says he was (literally) quite a trip. In trying to figure out how bast to administer LSD to spiders he would use an eyedropper to put liquid LSD into his own eyes to determine of that was a viable entryway for the drug. Why the hell couldn't I get funding to do cool stuff like that?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 11:29 AM) And by the way folks...Jim Thome still has a complete no trade clause, no matter how many people forget about it. BUT WHAT IF WE SCREAM ABOUT IT LIKE THIS!?!

There are two other recess appointments Bush just made that seem equally bads in terms of doing and end-run around Senate confirmation. They're flying under the radar because there was no public withdrawal of the nomination like there was for Fox.

QUOTE(JERMAINEDYE4MVP @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 01:38 AM) FACT! I REALLY DON'T THINK THIS TEAM IS GOING TO BE ANY GOOD THIS SEASON AND I BELIEVE THAT KW WILL TRY AND TRADE DYE, BUEHRLE, IGUCHI, THOME, CREDE, AND EVEN KONERKO BEFORE THE DEADLINE KIND OF LIKE THE MARLINS DID AND PICK UP YOUNG TALENT. DISCUSS. STOP SHOUTING. And two games in I'd say fire sale speculation is more than a little premature.

Mary Ann Akers of the Washington Post explains why President Bush’s recess appointment of Sam Fox as ambassador to Belgium may break the law:

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 11:21 PM) Has anyone's cable company started showing the xtra innings channels (or games) yet? Also there is the price for this year (if you sign up during the preview period). Nope. just checked. I'll be working tomorrow and it's a WGN game anyway, so as long as my provider starts showing them in time for the Twins on Friday I will be happy. Anybody know how much InDemand had to fork over in this deal?

That is awful news.

Yea!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 12:24 PM) And I still don't like Mr. Bush having anything resembling a Causus Belli. Is that anything like a Lamborghini?
