QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 02:58 PM) Bit of trivia: Jon Corzine is the third consecutive elected governor in New Jersey to break a leg while in office. Hey!, It is Jersey ya putz. Yu wanna join them . . .

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ he called them a name. OMG! What if someone called you a name today? Would you be "scarred for life"? Thank God no one here has ever been called names. I'm getting just a little sick by people blowing this s*** all out of proportion. He called them a name. I suggest everyone here that thinks he's the antiChrist examine their lives and if they called anyone a name, punish themselves as bad as Imus is getting puinished. Hell, if it was that bad, it would be illegal, We have laws for everything else. My God, when a dyed in the wool Democrat writes thte above, you know it's over the top.

And at the nicer end of Texas, it will be sunny and in the eighties on South Padre Island, where I am heading. Adios Frio. Sipping beers at my favorite ocean side bar, eating fish tacos, watching the sea gulls and dolphins.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 02:05 PM) Well, here's one old guy that isn't saying run. Not saying get down on a knee and propose either, mind you. Go out and see how much you enjoy each other, simple as that. She may be telling you how it's all likely she's getting back with her old boyfriend, but know that a lot of that may be defensive on her part. She has tempered your expectations as to anything serious developing, but matters of the heart are always negotiable. She can also feel better about herself to think that she is 'on a break' and not that she was unable to keep a relationship together. Self-confidence and security is a tricky thing when you are 18. It's OK I speak jive (old guy) Try and get laid by 10PM, if it doesn't work, dump her, call your buddies, and hang out. End FlaSoxxJim translation. I'm with Queen and Soxy. She's having great sex this week. Possibly with you, but probably with her old boyfriend. And after they have that great sex, they're going to be talking about you and what a loser you are. Sadly, what this really means is you are a genuinely nice guy, other girls will be fixing you up because they think you are a great catch, but they themselves don't want to go out with you. Finally, you will find the needle in the haystack and discover your better half and live happily ever after. But it ain't with her.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 12:54 PM) Damn. Sorry to hear that about your brother Tex. Years ago now. But thanks. Big funeral when you die at 22. And what did most of his friends do the night of the funeral? Got drunk.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 11:36 AM) I guess I just look at the way Israel is, Iran's probable involvement in Iraq, and the general climate in the area and I can't help but think if we wait that out we'll probably be there another 1000 years--especially after the recent parliament bombing. I don't think we can just leave now, but I really don't see us ever winning or even breaking even on this. No evil dictator, no WMD, we have already won. Trying to stop a religious civil war ain't ever going to happen. That's like calling a victory here when we end gang violence. If we are waiting for that day, it ain't ever coming. As soon as we get that through our skulls, we may start understanding why we can leave soon or much later and it won't make a difference.

My brother would be alive today if he had not done a couple of these drank enough beer to register a .31 decided to drive didn't wear a seatbelt hit a big ass tree at 45 mph Prayers for the Governor.

How fast does Imus have an XM gig? Or at his age, grab a hoe, plant some veggies, retire to the ranch, and call it a career.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 12:37 PM) I think we need a picture of her to make a real informed decision... Preferably in a cheerleader outfit eating a popsicle, if you have one. Thanks in advance! QOTM Worthy

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 11:35 AM) Are you using Vista? For the CNN videos, Ive had the same problem with some videos where it tells me I need to download windows media player and I already have the latest version. I think they just havent updated for Vista yet. As far as the Soxtalk problem the only thing I have noticed is sometimes when I hit fast reply the box doesnt show up but usually if i hit it once or twice more it does. Yes, running Vista and the CNN problem has been blogged to death. This one is the pain because I dislike using IE.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 10:36 AM) If she is hung up on another guy, I wouldn't bother. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 10:46 AM) Those kind of relationships pretty much always bomb because she is still trying to fix the last relationship. I wouldn't kill myself for her if I was you. QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 10:47 AM) Call her up and cancel on her now. Just tell her something came up and you'll talk to her later. QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 10:53 AM) get ready for her bf to "accidently" see you guys together IMO this is just asking to be a part of a major pain in the ass situation. etc etc etc Run, don't walk away.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 09:17 AM) I don't have any problems w/ Firefox and Soxtalk. Are you running the latest version? Yes 2.0.0.3 The problem started yesterday. Soxtalk works fine on this machine with IE.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 09:30 AM) "get 'er done" and get ya'll back home. Let's review Bush's call to war and what we accomplished No Weapons of Mass Destruction No Saddam We got 'er' done!! Now let's get them home. Wow, Kap, Jim, and Tex all agree. Amazing.

Anyone else having a problem with Firefox and Soxtalk? When I try and reply to a thread, there is no box to type the message. I am also having a problem with CNN video, It isn't picking up that I have Windows Media loaded.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 06:48 PM) OK, IMus, a rich, white male makes his comments about some (poor?) black females about a week ago. As a result of his comments, they faced no jail time, and weren't indicted on anything like aggrevated hoeing, or even misdemeanor nappy-headingness. For this, Imus is fired, after about a week. It took the Rutgers women a little over a week to get their 'justice' for a slight that hurt their feelings. On the other side you have Crystal Gail Mangum, a poor, black woman. And, you know, a whore, a criminal, a thief, and a perjurer. She makes comments about the Duke 3, who are indicted for one of the worst crimes possible by not only the DA, but by the media and just about every feminist group in the world. They faced 25 years or more in jail because of those comments, and it took them a year to get justice. No wait, Nifong is still employed, at least at this moment, along with his bosses, the guy who helped him hide the DNA evidence, etc. Who's the more agreived party here, the Duke 3 or the women basketball players? With the way CBS is acting now, you would think being called a nappy headed ho is worse than rape. Imus was an idiot, but this overreaction is just wrong. CBS had no problems with all the money he made for them, maybe they should donate the profits from his shows over the last year or so to Nappy-headed Hoes Anonomyous, or something. You know, get rid of that tainted money. While it is always dangerous to compare two disimilar events, in this case the parallels are compelling. Great post.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 06:55 PM) Well Josh Beckett is supposed to be the second coming according to the mainstream media, considering his arsenal of pitches and mental toughness (physically, not so much) he should have been a whole lot better than he was last season. At a certain point, if his pitchers aren't performing Varitek needs to lose that distinction since there are no results to lend credence to this theory. That is easy to agree with. The pitching coach should also share the blame/credit. But if there was one position I want a veteran presence, someone who has been on a winning side of a WS. Perhaps down a tough pennant race, some playoff experience, it would be catcher.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 04:33 PM) Indeed. And you're right. I prefer correct

QUOTE(bmags @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 04:31 PM) why you guys care about the rock and roll HOF is beyond me. How is that museum seen as any sort of vindication? Good point. I guess based on the other inductees people look at other bands and think they belong.

It could be a bad translation.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 04:07 PM) wow political correctness has completely corrupted our society. they basically went on a 3 day long crusade to get some old man fired for saying "nappy headed hoes". it's kinda funny, but also troubling. fixed it.

Moved it from the SL&M.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 09:48 AM) RIP. My girlfriend has had Slaughterhouse 5 sitting on the headboard for a while. Maybe I'll crack it open this weekend. Wow, my girlfriend has had Slaughterhouse 5 sitting on the headboard too

Rush is still in the Limelight, still in the Camera Eye, still with Vital Signs, and going strong, but sadly not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Some Witch Hunt I guess. No need for Tears, perhaps they will be inducted by 2112.
