QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 24, 2014 -> 11:46 AM) ok but like others have pointed out Sherman didn't really say anything stupid or dumb, which is why the BM clip makes no sense edit done with this dumb conversation now I was just responding to your post specifically. I too want nothing to do with this dumb conversation over a guy we shouldn't be talking about in the first place. Let's talk about Captain American Manning instead. He's dreamy.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 05:16 PM) Speaking of Jonah Hill and the Wolf of Wall Street, not only did Jonah demand that he have to audition for a part in the movie, but he accepted "the lowest possible pay" he could for the movie. He made something like $60K for this movie! http://www.avclub.com/article/jonah-hill-w...oney-pos-107191 Hill said if he is making great movies, he is fine just being able to pay rent and have a family. Easy to say that when you're worth tens of millions already.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 24, 2014 -> 11:29 AM) hey putting a billy madison quote that goes "one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul" with Sherman isn't calling him an idiot! it's just humor! see it's funny because they call what he said idiotic and irrational. Why would you ever think that implies a lack of intelligence?! Smart, intelligent people say stupid s*** all the time. Poking fun at a guy for being dumb once doesn't mean you're saying he's an unintelligent person generally.

Lol, those are always great.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 24, 2014 -> 10:17 AM) I meant that they were, my phone auto corrected AWD to AND because it's sentient. All AWD really means is your FWD car can send power the rear wheels too sometimes. I thought AWD means all the time? That's the main difference between the two. 4x4 is either electronically started depending on the situation or manually set. But in both cases power is shifted to all wheels. Whereas awd is basically limited power to all four wheels all the time.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 24, 2014 -> 10:21 AM) So let's make bad things happen to innocent people! If the concern here was just to make the roads safer they'd be going after cell phone use 10 times as hard as they are drinking. Not saying they wont, it's already kind of started, but people like their phones for now and haven't been brainwashed into thinking they are murderers for reading a text. As the death tolls continue to mount, it'll get to that point.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 24, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) I dont think anyone will say you "drive better" when you smoke. But I think most will agree that unless you fall asleep from smoking that you are likely in a much better condition than drinking. Alcohol is one of the few drugs that really can just shut down your brain function. I think they've done studies that show you're just as impaired high as you are drunk. In both situations your reaction time drops significantly. I'm amazed I never got a ticket for DWI. My then gf/now wife and two roommates would drive all around the state high as a kite during college to go to various nature preserves/parks to hike through. Smoke before we left, smoke on the drive there, smoke while hiking and maybe smoke on the way back. At some point we all established a pretty good tolerance, so that we were high but not baked out of our minds. Still though, I bet we could have been considered impaired. I was very close to getting a DUI once. Had about 6-7 beers with a small group of friends. Was just in a bad mood so I never got drunk or even buzzed. We started to drive back from off-campus ISU to IWU (a 7 min drive at most) and got pulled over. My wife was pretty lit and had a bowl in her small purse. Cops told us to get out and wanted to search the car. We complied. I chatted up the cops and told them we went to IWU. Luckily my wife had taken her bra off and put it in her purse. As the cops were looking through her bag, one of them pulled the bra out and then got embarrassed and immediately put it back and then gave my wife her purse. They didn't find anything, so I ended my chat and off we went. I'll never forget the cop telling me before we left that he pulled us over because of the graduation tassle hanging from the mirror and how that impaired the drivers' vision. And then he basically admitted that was bulls*** and said really it was a campus town so, "you know, want to just make sure everyone is ok."

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 07:59 AM) Wow, I never even considered a shotgun, will check into that. The weapon will be for me and my wife so obviously it will have to be something she can handle. I'll also look into glocks and a .45 Sig Sauer. Needless to say, I'm a novice, only reason why I can identify some weapons is because I'm a Call Of Duty junkie, lol. Went last week to a gunshop here in San Antonio and I must say the AK 74U felt pretty awesome but that's way over my league of expertise. Gonna do the whole responsible gun owner deal, take gun handling lessons and what not. Anyways, great advice everyone, thanks. Just know that once you become a gun owner, you'll immediately be considered a crazed vigilante. Also, don't cross paths with Balta. He'll run away in fear that you'll shoot him for no reason.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 24, 2014 -> 09:27 AM) I have watched less NBA in the last few years than I have at any other point in my life. Between the evolution of the game into a game of one on one, and the crapping out of Derrick's knees, plus the plethora of just awful basketball in the NBA, it just isn't worth wasting time on. You mean since approximately 1990?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 10:01 PM) It being creepy is what makes if interesting. It's why it called Shameless. And Episodes blows. One of the worst shows I've seen in a few years. You find pedophilia interesting? It'd be one thing if they were to show her trying to act 20 when she's 13 and doing those things with another kid her age (as they have done in the past). This is IMO getting close to crossing a line. "Hey guys, wanna tell the story of how a 13 year old bangs (or gets abused by) a 20 year old? Yep!" What makes it worse is that she looks nothing like a high school girl. She still has baby fat for Christ's sake. Disagree on Episodes. I think it's hilarious. Not great by any stretch, but still entertaining.

We can now add incredibly stupid as an adjective for this team. So many awful, completely unforced turnovers.

This team sucks so hard. I don't know why I keep subjecting myself to the torture.

I feel sorry for any non-fan who had to watch that half of basketball.

I hate that call. It's not a jump ball when he was able to get through it and pass the ball.

Tate again can't hit a freakin' lay up.

What the hell happened to OSU? I get that they didn't really ever beat anyone, but they played MSU tough at home. They actually scored some points in games. This is just brutal. Illinois. Ugh. So limited offensively. The picks are awful. The rolls are awful. Again, just run guys off the ball to set up Ekey and Rice for shots. That's the only chance.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 04:07 PM) I think the only comparable one is Ian and Kash, since Ian was ~15 at the time. The other stuff is really weird, but not quite as "creepy" IMO. The Debbie stuff is SUPER creepy. Cringe-worthy. And I don't get the need for any of it. It's one thing to have an underage girl like Debbie want to act/look like her older sister, but the scene with her friends talking about blowing dudes and watching porn? Ugh. I honestly think some of the writers have some issues. I have a magic penis was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Love the Lip/tutor stuff. She's gorgeous. Also gotta love Karl - what a little s***head, but sweet nonetheless doing all he can to save his dad. Anyone else watch Episodes? Highly recommend it if you have Showtime and want an easy 25-30 minute show to burn through. 2 episodes into season 3 right now. Matt LeBlanc is great.

From the WGN weatherblog yesterday, so add today's numbers:

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 01:08 PM) You see plenty of people with AWD SUV's plowed into snow banks, in ditches, etc. Sure, but i've still been able to go places sedans can't. And that's part of the fun.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 12:36 PM) Yeah, if you like a worse brand of football. OMG IT'S SNOWING HOW COOL. Come on, that game in Philly this year was awesome.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 12:28 PM) OK. Well there's a huge difference between wheeling around your neighborhood with no traffic, and trying to get somewhere like errands, work, etc where it takes you 10 times as long to get there. And more risk of accident with tons of other cars. Although, I hope your neighbors don't have kids building snowmen outside. Here comes that crazy guy barreling through... Suburbs + dead end street = winning! Snow and the City sucks, I'll admit that. I remember big storms making the 25 min commute to my place in wrigleyville on LSD upwards of 2-2.5 hours. THAT I certainly don't miss.

It should be on Saturday night every year anyway.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 12:19 PM) Wait, you like driving in snow? WTF? My wife hates this weather and is reaching the point some of you guys are. I just can't leave (and I doubt she'd actually want to) because it's home to me and all family is here. Would be too difficult. I just try to deal with the few s***ty months and enjoy the rest of the year. If family was spread out, maybe we'd consider it. How many bags of sand do we need? Oh yeah man I love driving in snow. Ice covered roads obviously not, but like last weekend when we got 6-8 inches of powder snow? Hell yes. That was awesome barreling through my neighborhood's unplowed streets. I have a 4WD suv though, so I don't have to worry about getting stuck.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 11:31 AM) Agreed 100%. Having a young kid has made it even tougher to handle. Being cooped in the house all the time sucks, can't even take her outside for a walk. Just going to the store becomes an extra hassle with all the extra warm clothes and everything. Lol, yes. How old is your daughter? My son is 18 months. Old enough to know that the coat, hat and gloves can be taken off with relative ease. Such a pain in the ass. Though I will say he cracks me up whenever he steps in snow. His mind is blown away that the ground below him sinks in and sticks to his shoes. We've played the game about 50 times this winter and it's still hilarious to watch.
