Great job Thought for next year, the top graphics winner should design the trophies.

At some point you will want to know what it did not work out with and for that salesperson. Many people will just assume he was a jackass and that the job and your company were 100% perfect in the situation. And you may be correct. Still, listening to him and what the problem was may be in your better interest.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 03:00 PM) I can't wait till people start praising L. Ron Hubbard when they win something. His sci-fi writing is just as good as the bible. To some. People chose all sorts of ways to fill their brains and to believe in.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 02:58 PM) .....and God does this all while helping singers, (including rappers) and actors win awards. Amazing. And the rappers and pornographers help the athletes, equally amazing.

eBay announced they will buy back the stolen documents, about $66,000 worth. I was thinking about who to protect on eBay and if having honest buyers or sellers was more important. The seller can wait until he gets paid to ship, this avoiding 99% of the scams. The buyer can not wait until he has the item to pay. Having honest sellers and a system to determine that, is far more important that buyer feedback.

And to be fair, every candidate wants it bad enough and will stretch their, and those around them, ethics and morals in the process. It's the game, and everyone plays it that way.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 02:51 PM) Well, I think that's the point. If there is a God, he probably doesn't care about your strikeout, your HR, your team winning the WS, your rap album, etc. etc. Or, if he's going to get the credit for the good, he has to take the blame for the bad. A pitcher and a hitter both pray that they will perform to the best of their ability. God answers their prayers. At that moment someones best is better than the other guys. No mystery.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 12:44 PM) Here's the question. Would she promise Edwards the VP slot to beat Obama in the primary if she thought it would kill her in the general? Tough call. You have to get past B to get to C. And perhaps Edwards is selling her on his experience and how he knows the mistakes that were made and will do better this time.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 12:34 PM) I dunno about that. All of the reports I've read about the 2004 race have said that the Kerry campaign was particularly unhappy with the way Edwards performed as a VP candidate, not to mention the fact that he seemingly didn't even make a single state competitive for them. *IF* he could get her elected.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 12:29 PM) Hillary wont pick Edwards for VP. She wants a Clintonite. Probably a "yes man" If it could get her elected, she'd grab him in a second. The Constitution keeps the VP in line, I've read a number of references to where the President and Vice President do not meet for months.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 12:25 PM) I don't know if there could be a president ticket that I would dispise more than that duo. If someone could get that ticket elected, scholars would be writing books about them for a long time.

I was thinking I employ a number of techniques to avoid forgetting. I always park in the same area at the mall. I also have a certain row I park in at stores. I use my phone's calendar and alarm all the time. My license plate starts DWB, which reminds me of Foreigner's Dirty White Boy etc. I guess what I'm saying is my memory is about as long as FlaSoxxJim's sundial

great find.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 11:26 AM) I love how all these athletes give all their success up to God. My favorite is when they hit a homer and point to God. Yeah, cause God wanted you to hit a homerun. Absolutely, same as the ones that can't hit a home run unless they can listen to songs about b****es and view pictures of naked hos.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 11:05 AM) You guys missed the point. It wasn't China that requested it, it was England that put that in there because of their ultra-PC-ness. And then there was my barb at the end about how I would bet that they wouldn't put a similar clause into effect were the olympics to be in the US. It's ok to criticize the US, but not our Chinese overlords. I agree that politics should be left out of it, but on the individual level, don;t people have any sort of free speech right to be rude if they want to? Other countries have also banned their athletes from speaking at these games. And it is fairly common through out the histopry of the games, even here in the US which is why I offered that picture. Also from the article

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 10, 2008 -> 11:17 PM) Absolutely, and in some regard, I'd bet that a kitchen compares very well to a locker room. Baseball players generally don't have desks; comparing the corporate world to the athletic world is apples to oranges in my mind; once you get into upper management, it's obviously a completely different story, but locker rooms are quite crazy, and I would venture to guess that much of that stuff happens a ton. You may be surprised what your HR department will say about that topic. There are US laws regarding the subject. You may have noticed the harassment topic from time to time in the news.

Damn, I can't find a book and I forgot an appointment today. And before y'all jump in, I know I'm old and feeble.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 09:49 AM) They should cancel them. The only award show that is judged by sales instead of artistic achievement. Some would say that the sales are the awards. People have an option to vote with their dollars, the strongest vote of all. Unless you prefer a couple people in an ivory tower deciding what is best. But that sounds like Communism to me, and I'm an American

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 08:48 AM) How telling is this? I go to numerous message boards, and I have yet to find one with a thread about last nights Grammy's. They still are awarding Grammys? I thought thay cancelled them years ago. Where can I download the winners?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 09:01 AM) please, continue the tour of Michigan City and Southsider's house.... And ladies and gentlemen, is an example of one too many jokes. Professionals call this painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa.
