QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 06:15 PM) The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this year's {2005} winners: 1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time. 2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole. 3. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with. 4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly. 5. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future. 6. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid. 7. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high. 8. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it. 9. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late. 10. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness. 11. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.) 12. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer. 13. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you. 14. Glibido: All talk and no action. 15. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly. 16. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web. {I know I've done this dance many times!} 17. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out. 18. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating. I'm crying from laughing so hard at some of these.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) Actually, they thought someone had broken into my apartment. They had reports that a person with a black cape climbed up on my balcony... There was nobody there. Is Batman stalking you again?

Happy Happy Steff!

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) yes. the record books also suggest that it would be a collapse losing the division, a record setting collapse. I want the Sox playing in October but not on the wrong foot. The record books have little to say about the wild card since it's such a recent invention, but numerically since nobody has evey been 15 games out and then coughed up the division it would be historic regardles of our getting the wild card. My view is more pragmatic than it being a failure to get in the back door versus the front door, because I would be elated if we were in teh Indians' shoes and surged at the end to grabd teh wild card. The fact is that our slide and pathetic play is indicitive of a team that is not firing on too many cylinders (sp?) which doesn't bode well for postseason play regardless of how we got in. That said, the conventional wisdom that anything can happen in short series' is what still gives me hope. I believe we are capable of getting in (by hook or crook), catching a little fire, and going deep into October.

Apparently some blind trusts are less blind than others.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) Not a chance in hell, and Hafner just homered for the 102nd time this month, Indians lead 4-1 And I think 97 of them were against us.

Carl is getting tiresome, his earlier hit notwithstanding. :puke

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) The problem is that we're not getting the job done with one out. Ain't that the friggin' truth. My ulcers are getting ulcers.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) Bold Prediction: The Sox won't score another run this evening. Far from turn-around. Buzzkill

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 04:36 PM) Not me. Haven't been on a plane since 1994...and I went to Jugoslavija. s*** golly. Who the hell were the Sox playing way over there? QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) couldve swore that was his call name...my bad... . . . Resume slamming. I Kid Because I Care® btw, with the exception of this year so far (was saving up for Oct. ), I've gotten on a plane to support the Sox at least once a year since 1990. And a lot of folks 'round here do a lot more travelling than that to see them play.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) Well, Tuff Shist, it's going there anyway. I admit, I had to Google SHIST. . . I wonder how Tex will respond, since the ball is in his quartz now.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) Every game in recent weeks, when we win, I hear this: "YES! I have the faith back! They have a shot! Great baseball! That was great! GO SOX!" And every game we LOSE, I hear this: "NO! I have lost all faith in this team! They SUCK! They are OUT! They are NOT going to make the playoffs! I hate this team" Like your bi-polar meds never ran out at the wrong time. . .

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) brick, rock. mountain; if my puns got any boulder, it would be very sad indeed. :rolly You gotta throw those painful puns in there every once in a while. . . or else we might start taking you for granite.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) I'd take Piniella. ^^^^^

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) Hmmm. Sounds like a bad acid trip. Good luck with that. Fitting, since the bizzare metamorphosis of this team from a loose club that had fun and found ways to win to the turd-riffic bunch of chumps they are now could have only been imagined as the result of bad halucinations brought on by a handful or two of purple Owsley.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 02:28 PM) Yeah...LOL...it took me a few times to get it. We need a version of that smiley with the aggressor smiley hitting the other smiley with a big piece of lumber that says "CLUE BAT" on it.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) cantore center Definition: The cantore center is an area of a storm that will be the worst hit. Named after famed Weather Channel Storm Chaser Jim Cantore, who is always sent to areas that have the highest probability of being destroyed by the storm. Usage: Holy s***, we're the cantore center for this one. I just saw him doing a live remote from my driveway. It's going to be very bad. Yep. Been there, done that.

The overcompensation effect is occurring right now. With Katrina fresh on everybody's mind and the government so determoned to do a better job this time around, they urged a far too general m ass populace to get out rather than trying to make sure the most vulberable sites were evacuated first. Always a supreme challenge with the unpredictability of hurricanes I know, but one of the reasons they usually wait until the storm is about 48 hours out is so that they by then have landfall pinpointed to within a couple hundred miles. The downside to that, of course is only having two days for everybody to secure their property and get out, and if it is a populated area it will create it's own problems. I have to rethink this whol coastal living situation. So, isnybody planning on playing the Cantore Drinking game during his coverage? We did it during Jeanne – until oue power went out. It's easy to play. Just take a shot of your favorite adult beverege each tome Jimbo says "hunker down." If the power didn't go out on us we would have been pretty sauced.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 11:03 AM) So...I'm supposed to pitch a tent in the clothing department of Wal-Mart??? I believe jail time could be spent for that. I don't get it. . . "Pitch a tent" is one of my all-time favorite euphemisms for that particular phenomenon. That and "chub up."

QUOTE(Bias @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 01:41 PM) I'll be the guy singing "Let the Sunshine in, face it with a grin. Open up your heart and let the sun shine in." 'Cuz Smilers never lose, and Frowners never win Pebbles and Bam Bam!

If they don't make the playoffs it might be wise to cancel Sox Fest. It will not be pretty.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) f*** the dying of the Rally Crede. Yes, I also say "f***" to the dying of the Rally Crede thingie. Rally Crede is not giving up, just warming up.
