I'm not bashing the President, I'm defending my freedom from stupid policy. I'm sure the President is a nice guy. His policies I disagree with. Because they are wrong for America.

Here's my sellout game idea: "Ribbie and Rubarb Reunion Night"

Heart disease is scary. Well wishes for you Mr Owner Guy.

Mr. Baseball Pants would be the best nick name ever. Don't give it to that pud, its too pleasant a nick. I think if Ed Farmer was a Native American, he'd be called "Bores to Tears"

Maybe they could make one for less fortunate Cub fans that say: "Can't even afford the roof across the street."

We did shots of Nyquil in High School. Back before they took the booze out of it. Yet I still had to be 21 to buy Non-Alcoholic Beer....

Packers fans are the best.

I remember listening to Tigers games living in Michigan. When mistakes were made, I most often heard "munson" or "bocachica." Once again, my favorite baseball name ever... "Bocachica."

Eagles so I can be 0 for my last 4 NFC champ picks.

I meant to vote for the Steelers, but I voted for the other team. I wanna turnpike superbowl!

I like the idea of having legacy players. Frank Thomas is here now 15 years? Konerko here for long term would be nice too.

Yes, you'd be correct. Kerry got the second highest vote total. Over 58 million voters voted for change. But I guess that means nothing to you.

I have been too busy to watch lately. But I still like them and find them really funny. Even the new episodes.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 08:36 PM) Go right ahead, but remember that the reason your side lost the last election is because the best platform you could come up with was "Bush sucks, elect me". People would much rather vote FOR something rather than AGAINST something. How many Bush voters did you meet that couldn't frame their vote in any other message than "better than Kerry." More people voted for John Kerry than Ronald Reagan in 1984. John Kerry got over 48.3% of the vote despite being outspent, and without the media machine that the Bush administration had. Despite all the advantages of incumbency, George Bush won with the smallest margin of any reelected president since Woodrow Wilson, and failed to capture even 51% of the vote. (Final tallies have him at about 50.7%) John Kerry did have a real plan. He did have a positive vision for America. Too bad people were caught up in things like Swift Boat, John Kerry calling a lesbian a lesbian, and an idiotic slip of the tongue about an 87 billion dollar budget vote. But if you listened in the debates, or read his book. You'd have seen a vision that ain't too shabby for this country.

QUOTE(lvjeremylv @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 10:38 AM) LMFAO. :rolly Please learn the facts. It will prevent the future utterance of horribly assinine comments. I have. I was studying the effects of transglobal terrorism since 1999. I remember the bipartisan terror commission meeting in 2000. I remember producing an interview with one of the chairs in the summer of 2001 saying "We can't get anyone in the government to listen and this problem is urgent." But hey, I'm sure you have like what, 30 minutes experience, studying transglobal terror?

Ah, living in Big Rapids. At least five times, I cold started my car at 20 below temps. At five in the morning. And in a hurry because I was late for work. Things like that make me NOT miss radio.

Yes there is. But that's not the point. That's the right swamp to drain. Too bad we aren't capable at the moment.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) There is likely a logical reason for that, and I propose two hypotheses... 1) They figured your bed was not being given a sufficient workout (Not to worry - that's the case with most Freshmen...) 2) Nobody wanted to get the wet spot. Here I was thinking that the wet spot was just too big in his bed for them to continue.

Hey. I'm in the minority, that's my job

I just like to travel. flew DC-8s and 10s as a kid going to visit family in Europe. The rest were from various trips to Europe, or visiting friends elsewhere.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 16, 2005 -> 05:09 PM) Here was the Christmas joke I came up with: Do you know why they called it "Silent Night"? Shut up, that's why.

Where would you draw the line? (story may be forthcoming)

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 16, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) I've ridden on almost every plane manufactured, at least jet wise. 717 727 737 747 757 767 777 md-80 md-88 Airbus 300 Airbus 310 Airbus 340 DC-10 MD-11 That's quite a few. They're all the same. I've done the 717/DC-9 (same plane), 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, md-80, md-88, dc-8, dc-10. Airbus 300, 310, 320, 340. CJ-50 and CJ-70. And the Saab Jet. The insides are mostly the same. You are correct. The main differences are size, technical specs and economy.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 16, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) So a war is like your company? Give me a break. They could be making command changes or strategy changes that we don't even know about. I love it how people are so assumptive. How many people lost their jobs by letting 9/11 happen? None. How many people lost their jobs despite completely flawed intelligence regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq? None. How many people lost their jobs after misjudging the North Korean situation and is now faced with a probable nuclear North Korea? None. How many people in the government lost their jobs after a paper trail showed that a culture of torture was being created towards PWs and ECs from the executive branch? None. If I lose a sale at work, I could seriously get the s*** can. If American lives are lost, these guys get promoted or they get "medals of freedom." Governments ARE like companies, except the stakes are higher. Nobody here is faulting the military. But the military does what its told by its higher-ups. They are the ones who made the mistakes, and they are the ones that forgot to plan for a post-war Iraq (by the military's own historians' account.) But hey, it's only human life.
