I must confess, I'm a virgin in starting game threads, but not any more.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 08:30 PM) Carlos May landed a gig reviewing movies as Ebert's sidekick, but he lost it just as quickly for being too harsh in his reviews. Dude NEVER gave anything two thumbs up. I saw Sammy Sosa with Captain Morgan

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 11:08 PM) You have to stack together roughly 3 Ohios to equal one Nebraska. I don't need a sportscar and a giant handgun when we start comparing sizes of states . . .

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 05:55 PM) Thieves generally don't charge towards the bedrooms. Exactly.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 05:14 PM) So none of you watched the people that made a**es out of themselves trying out for Idol? Interesting Watching people embarrass themselves is about the most brutal thing for me to watch. I can't stand it.

QUOTE(Dan @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 05:05 PM) You don't know your house well enough then. Have you thought about what policemen do with their weapons when they are at home and off duty? It's your choice if you want to own a gun or not, nobody is required to in Illinois (but some places actually do require citizens to be gun owners). How much time will you have when someone breaks in your door and runs towards your bedroom? 30 seconds? 60 seconds? I don't know anyone who can wake up, gather his wits, grab a gun, load, unlock, and be ready in that amount of time. You need to be loaded with one on top. So I made the decision for myself and my family the risk of a home invader versus the risk of kids playing around and decided I'd keep everything in my safe and broken down. The cops I know have gun safes and lock them up as well. In fact it was my friends in the Border Patrol that convinced me it was the smart thing to do. It's a personal choice but in the worst case scenario, I couldn't live with having a child find one of my guns and hurt themselves or someone else.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 04:32 PM) No, I don't. I just don't think that this rises to the level that you all do in terms of him leaving office. Now, personally, Gonzo is basically neutered, and should be told to go away "at the pleasure of the president". The reason isn't for breaking any laws, but for being an inept jackass. Was he more or less inept than the people who were fired?

Damn Damn Damn make the voices go away. I have And I hope that you are having the time of your life But think twice, that's my only advice Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are, Ha ha ha bless your soul You really think you're in control Well, I think you're crazy I think you're crazy I think you're crazy Just like me stuck in my head and it.won't.stop

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 03:48 PM) Speak for yourself, I've watched a grand total of 10 minutes of the first American Idol, and that's been it. That is 10 minutes more than I have.

I heard that good ol' numbers 44 and 27 started a retail store that appeals to homemakers and outdoorsmen. They call it Hall and Fields I didn't make it up, Jim Thome Way to far to go for that pun

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 02:06 PM) Look, if there were so much gas on this fire, I would think that the said attorneys that were fired would have been running as fast as they could for a camera to tell their stories. Since none of them did, this is nothing further then a witch hunt to get rid of people that they all hate. I'm not saying they haven't given reason for it, but that's what's happening. Gonzo has done a TERRIBLE job of handling this from day 1, and it has turned into a political s***storm of epic proportions instead of just being up front in the first place. The day the firings happened, it should have been: 8 people were dismissed. They serve at the pleasure of the president, and we decided to move in a different direction. We thank them for their service. Questions? If that would have happened, none of this would matter. Even when these people have nothing to hide, they act like they have something to hide. That makes them stupid asses and incompetent in my book, not criminals like those on the left are trying to paint. And the President has bosses also. When he handles something incorrectly, he too should be held accountable for his actions and for those who report to him. Politically motivated firings can be a serious threat to our nation.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 09:36 AM) You're read my mind. We probably should have ended this thread with a post from BigSqwert

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 12:22 PM) I'm speechless. I'm without speech. And corn makes an appearance. nothing.to.add

I thought it was a joke, a parody.

So far I have been very impressed with the GOP in their handling of this. I know it's easy when we have a President with low approval rating. Still, they are doing the right thing to the best of their abilities.

I saw Ozzie moonlighting at Cellblock

I think everyone who has contributed to this thread can agree that no matter how sophisticated the security system. No matter how cool the keypad, remotes, sensors, monitoring is, it just isn't the penis extender a powerful hand gun is.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 09:25 AM) Well he'll be pissing the bed for life. Nope, he is moving to Chicago and has become a Cubs fan because of the trough urinals.

Linked .. For the love of exploding scoreboards STOP! This is too many Bounty Hunter shows.

Dennis Boyd is working at my local Quick Lube . . .

The Cubs can market some guy to the point that Cub fans love him (Shawn-O-Meter) regardless of performance. Cub fans will slurp it up. Try that same stuff with Sox fans and we'll tell the guy to take a hike. We know silk from a sows ear. So Oz, tell us he's the best you got, tell us he'll come around, but don't, for the love of exploding scoreboards, try to convince us he's Ricky Henderson and important to the team.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 01:01 AM) Would it be completely assinine to say I think he's going to break Bonds' record? He has the tools. He is easily a threat for the "non performance enhancing drugs" season home run title.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 07:33 AM) Happy Birthday!!

Hitmen., That was some great times at the ballpark.
