QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 11:08 AM) Nirvana "Bleach", everything else by both bands sucks. Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb? Dr. Pepper (or Dr. Thunder!) DQ or Tastee-Freez?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 08:44 AM) 1980 - Life of Brian Today - Holy Grail I've become a bit more sensitive to some subjects getting satired. Family Guy or Simpsons Simpsons (yeah yeah, they're not as good now, the show sucks now, blah blah blah). Nirvanna or Foo Fighters?

I assume that is too progressive a view on religious diversity tolerance to get much traction in Texas. A shame, because it is a very thoughtful and inclusive sentiment. Reminds me of the old Dave Allen at Large sign off, "Thank you, good night, and may your God go with you."

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 09:02 AM) It shows disrespect for the American flag when it is used as an object to harm people. I guess liberals can understand that better. As an example, there are plenty of hate groups that have wrapped themselves in the US flag and used it to intimidate anyone who doesn't think like them. I do not like seeing the flag of my country used that way. Fly it with dignity and respect, or don't fly it at all. I see them being dragged on the ground, tossed in people faces, snapped at people like whips, and get rather upset. If someone wants to use that as an example of a liberal defending banning the flag, so be it. Maybe conservatives, like whitesoxfan101, don't mind the flag being used that way, but I do. I believe it is banning the disrespectful use of the flag, not the flag itself.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) It's a sad, sad day, when a great American like the Hammer has to leave with his tail between his legs. I guess it's on to the McCain bandwagon for me. Uhm, yeah. Scanlan, Abramoff, and now Rudy pleading guilty to conspiracy/corruption, and basically putting DeLay's leadership offices at the center of a criminal enterprise has me wondering just what you see in this great American. The influence peddling for kickbacks scandal in the Northern Marianas Islands is going to bust wide open, and Delay is right ther ein the middle of it.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 01:04 PM) Ha yeah, one of my favorite games was a loss. The game after the ASB against Detroit in '03. We had a nice comeback towards the end to get within a run, but the crowd was awesome. That was a great game, and it was geat to see the near-comeback.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 06:09 AM) This has more relevance and connection to the refusal of the House Ethics committee to investigate Abramoff ties than any of the call for presidential censure. This investigation was begun in 2004 by Ethics, and its continuation was the only tangible action announced by the panel after Thursday's 6 hour meeting. I concur McDermott needs to either pay the fine or choose to continue the legal battle. But the fact that in the face of all the Congresspersons caught up in the Abramoff web the only thing Ethics decided to do was to continue a 2004 investigation into a 1996 wrongdoing is by far the most troubling aspect of the story. From ranking Democratic member Alan Mollohan's highly critical statement to the panel:

You guys aren't seriously telling me you do not know the proper title of "LAST KISS" are you? Okay ... you can have your thread back. I was worried none of y'all old farts would know the song if I didn't spell it out.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 08:06 PM) Considering that I flipped burgers and mowed lawns in high school and that many of my friends in college de-tassled corn in the summer, I agree that it's a crap argument. We all did menial summer jobs summer jobs growing up. It doesn't mean we could have followed the farm work for 9 months out of the year, so that is obviously not the pool of American workers that would replace that labor force.

Tursiops - a fully rearticulated skeleton of which I am going to inspect for installation in the marine science musueum I'm working on in about a half-hour! We also are getting a melonheaded whale skeleton i just found out! They are rare deepwater animals, and about a half-dozen just stranded/washed up dead here over the last two days. My institution's marine mammal group is doing the necropsies and will then macerate and rearticulate one of the skeletons for me!
