QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 11, 2010 -> 04:59 PM) Personally, I would prefer the leave the south side. Yea... I said it. Like it or not, that area has a nasty reputation and it's going to take a LOT of work to fix that. BLASPHEMY!! You're dead to me.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ May 11, 2010 -> 02:02 PM) I know for a fact i would do any of those 100 women listed in a heartbeat! QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 11, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) I would do the hottest 100,000 women in America in a heartbeat and I must tell you I get my fair share of the honies. You guys are living saints I tell you. When you do it right it's supposed to take longer than a heartbeat though.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 11, 2010 -> 10:07 AM) The state of Florida paid this ***** $120,000 in tax dollars in exchange for his expert testimony on the evils of homosexuality. Nobody cleared that through me.

So have any of you Chicago folks had the opportunity/sad, sad misfortune of trying this Jeppson’s Malört stuff? Supposedly it is developing a bit of a cult following in the Greater Chicago area. Tucker and Torey at the Bad Booze Review have a pretty hard time choking it down.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 9, 2010 -> 02:07 AM) Also, three guys checked me out for some reason tonight? Must be my new, Bieber haircut. One fine ass girl was into it too. QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 9, 2010 -> 02:41 AM) These pants really show off my dick. Mystery solved.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) Barack's new Facebook feed is up. http://www.slate.com/id/2253217/ That might be the best one yet!

I think Leno is categorically unfunny, but I don't see any reason to get bent out of shape over that little side joke.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 7, 2010 -> 06:55 AM) LOL After the wild market ride yesterday I was looking to diversify my investments. Yeah the Time's title hooked me. I was bored. Actually I started with their article on the most expensive item ever sold at auction, http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages...1917097,00.html Picasso's Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust. They have some pretty cool lists. Well, at least the Picasso auction just happened this week!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 6, 2010 -> 05:41 PM) I guess the question is...what is Tex doing that brings him to baseball articles from Time Magazine in 2007? he is a history teacher.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 6, 2010 -> 09:45 AM) OTOH, if I'm Bud Selig...I've already had people work the issue and tell me what the last possible deadline date is that I could announce a move of the 2011 all star game and what would have to be done to make it happen...on the off chance that after enforcement starts the Arizona situation turns real ugly. I didn't even realize the 2011 ASG was slated for AZ. Yes, absolutely that should be leveraged to full effect here. Racist decision-making has already cost them a Super Bowl, so why not an All Star Game as well?

Of course moving multiple teams for Spring Training out of Arizona is logistically impractical, but I'd live to have the Sox back here in Florida! Seriously, I think these sorts of calls to action in response to bad immigration policy are exactly what short-sighted Arizona legislators and their narrow-minded constituents need to get hit hard with, even if there is a bit of political grandstanding to it. Nothing like a threat to the state economy to get them to revisit their decisions.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 5, 2010 -> 08:29 AM) Rick Perry blames God for massive oil leak: The pro-drilling folks are scrambing for sure. For them the worst thing that could happen is America could actually pay attention to what is going on and finally give a damn.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 4, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) If a company accepts a counterfeit $50 bill they are out $50. If they accept a counterfeit birth certificate and social security card they are out $50,000,000?? Doesn't seem correct. No it certainly doesn't. My assumption in non-Bizzaro World situations is that the employer would have to be shown to have knowingly hired an undocumented worker -- not merely that they have been duped into doing so. Is this not the case in some instances?

I guess you can't jump to conclusions. . .

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 4, 2010 -> 05:07 PM) OK... explain to me how that particular event - not the tendency for more things to occur more frequently, but this INSTANCE - was directly caused by global warming, and nothing else. Anyone else feel free to do the same for the DC snows, and how it was evidence that global warming DOESN'T exist. From a statistical standpoint you are on sound footing and this is logical statement is right out of the ol' Big Tobacco Legal Playbook. "You can't prove your client in this one isolated case got lung cancer/emphysema. etc., just because he smoked three packs of my client's cigarettes for 40 years." And statistically speaking, this legal c*cksucker would be right. Fast forward 100,000 cases later and of course the "isolate and dismiss" case-by-case strategy sort of fell apart for Big Tobacco. All of us here know that it's the same case here, even though we can't tie any single extreme weather event to anthropogenic climate change. Of course this is not dismissing Balta's important point about current atmospheric conditions that are the result of a perturbated climate factor directly into the magnitude of this rainfall event.

A multitude of birthday wished to you all!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 3, 2010 -> 07:39 AM) Fraser was pretty good in Crash, and I have heard good things about Gods and Monsters as well. He picks and chooses his drama roles, then bankrolls himself with silly crap that kids will go see. He was good in Gods and Monsters, although not as god Ian McKellen was. He was fine in Encino Man and Air Heads as well because the roles suited his relative lack of acting ability. And he was good in the first Mummy film because it was fun and campy on purpose. I I also liked Monkeybone because it was a quirky film, but Fraser was not all that good in it.

Cutting the over-infused bacon bourbon 3:1 with Bulleit Frontier Bourbon totally does the trick. The PDT Old Fashioned is a fine cocktail.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 2, 2010 -> 05:20 AM) I wonder if someone who thinks "I wish my mom was feeling better" is praying if they do not believe in prayer? I would say no, unless you invoke a perceived divine agent to intervene on her behalf.

Citra is a very good new hop variety — it's the hop that forms the backbone of Sierra's new Torpedo Extra IPA. Interesting, for being such a big hit in hoppy ales, it's actually a hybrid that is 50% Hallertauer Mittelfrüh — the classic Czech noble pilsner hop. It also has Kent goldings (respected Brit hop) and Tettnanger (the Sam Adams hop) in its pedigree.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ May 1, 2010 -> 05:23 PM) Had a very enjoyable beer night last night: Ommegang Ale, Bells Oberon, and Victory Hop Devil... I'm getting thirsty again just typing it... Yummy X3! I had a Cigar City Maduro Brown Ale yesterday that was quite tasty. Also a Cantillon frambois and a Stone 13th Anniversary that I've had before but which were both very good.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 11:03 PM) I have a friend that made habanero-infused tequila...and he makes Mephistoritas...if he wasn't in Boston, I'd love to try one. That could be interesting. I think a smoked or roasted habernero tequila could be an interesting mezcal substutution. I have to pick up a new bottle of bourbon today for derby day mint juleps, so I'll finally be able to dilute my bacon monstrosity to see if it can be salvaged.

A passing reference to Cold Stone Creamery in another thread reminded me to tell y'all about the bast new ice cream place in the known universe. Place just opened by me called Cold Fusion that uses fresh cream, fruits, syrups, and liquid nitrogen to flash freeze fresh ice cream to order. I thought Cold Stone and Marble Slab were good, but they can't beat this place.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 07:00 AM) Close, they didn't want the Feds favoring one state over another. Going back to the later have of the 1800s the US was adding a couple stars a year. This is the longest our flag has ever stayed the same. My two favorite flags are the 15 stars and stripes and the 28 star flag. The 1936 road gray is my favorite. Wait, sorry, that's White Sox uniforms, not old US flags.
