QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 08:42 AM) adding up the rest over the winter, with the impending free agency, and the new workout program that has been talked about, I am going to go with Mark Buehrle. No intelligence on my part, just a gut feel, I'm thinking 18-20 wins for Buerhle. Rock solid all season. I also like Garland to continue to take steps towards the upper echelon of starters.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 10:02 AM) On this one, STFU GOP. It's a waste, sure, but if the shoes were reversed, they would do the same damn thing. IMO, she should get a plane that can fly cross-country. Maybe not a 757-200, but something that gets her over there without stopping. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070208/ap_on_go_co/pelosi_plane Hassert received the same benefit. This started after 9/11 based on succession.

I think the debate isn't as much if there has been a climate change, we can prove that empirically. It is the cause and effect and what to do about it that is part of the debate and what makes science so interesting.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 08:49 AM) No, but I was in Alpha Phi Omega, so kinda maybe kinda a little tiny bit. Even cooler, that was voluntary No parents forcing you. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 08:59 AM) I made it as far as Weablos (sp?) before I got bored with it. And that is then point you are suppose to get bored with Cub Scouts and join Boy Scouts. Swap out those bb guns for .22 and 20 gauge, get out camping monthly, start hanging out with the big kids.

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 7, 2007 -> 03:06 PM) guitars in general are phallic symbols. Yep. And judging by the "guitar faces" that waaaaay to many players make, painful to play.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Feb 7, 2007 -> 09:57 PM) On another note, Charles Manson is up for parole this year. I thought he was every year.

I got to thinking, people build saunas in their homes and invite the Swedish Bikini Team. They have freezers and put in turkeys.

What is interesting and important is how many people agree and will pass it on. It becomes "true" in the sense that three or four years later, it is still in circulation.

Welcome to my world. Areas we previously used for camping are impossible now. Too many stops along the way. Meanwhile, if you are from a different country than Mexico, and can reach the beaches of Florida, you are welcome to stay. If you are from Canada and wish to stay in the US, you automatically can for 6 months, it's 30 days for Mexicans. Although Senator Cornym ® of Texas is working on changing that last inequity in the law. You were lucky, you don't "look like an illegal". Imagine if you are a Mexican-American. Perhaps third or fourth generation. Your border experience would have been different. You are correct, it is sad.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 01:24 PM) must... control... tasteless... joke... Actually that joke, I'm told, will leave a bad taste in your mouth . . .

Wow. I know with a high profile murderer like this there is a propensity to try and pin as many unsolved cases as possible. I didn't realize he may have had victims outside Wisconsin.

35 in Chicago, 10 in Texas. I was an avid winter outdoors person. From ice fishing to black and white winter photography I found every excuse to be outdoors. It is so much easier to deal with the heat and humidity than the cold. Never having to say, crap I forgot my gloves/hats/scarf/boots etc. But you have to pay your dues with one summer. Once you are acclimated, it makes all the difference in the world. 100 degrees with 40% humidity means drinking an extra glass of water and the ice in your margarita melts faster. -10 with wind means bundle up or die.

BTW, has anyone lived in both extremes?

Of the two examples you give, one can kill you quickly and result in fingers and toes to frostbite. I'll pass on the boots, hats, gloves, long underwear, chapped lips, numb fingers, toes, and nose. Hmmmm, where would I rather be?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 06:13 PM) I will say I'm cool with snow so long as I don't have to deal with 110 degree heat with humidity (which I occasionally actually do have to deal with). If it's cold, you can keep on adding layers of clothes. If it's hot, you get stuck sweating your ass off in underwear. Both ends of the scale are a b****. The 100+ days of 100+ degrees down here can wear on you. I spend most of those months down at the Island so it isn't too bad. And like Chicago winters you go from a climate controlled home to a climate controlled car to a climate controlled office.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 7, 2007 -> 07:26 AM) The press obviously got the statement wrong so I fixed it.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 06:26 PM) Ted Haggard issued a statement today proclaiming that he was now "completely heterosexual" So am I. Big deal. What a moron.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 10:41 PM) This might have come out incorrectly.... Ted Haggard promoted Colorado's marriage amendment last year, where he was a pastor of a megachurch. But if people who support gay marriage bans want to use this as a reason to ban gay marriage, they ought to put their money where there mouth is. I believe they need to put something else where their mouth is. That's the whole point I can't believe this is America in 2007. Equal rights for equal people seems simple enough for me. All men are created equal.

Happy Birthday Y'All

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 09:25 AM) You whiners aren't the only ones dealing with the harsh winter weather. Hell, I almost couldn't wear shorts outside this weekend it was so nipply. The real test for me is if the Tevas have to be replaced with real shoes. No Shirt No Shoes No Problema

Take a look at what other careers can earn you over $9 mil per.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 12:14 PM) I freaking loved those books as a kid. I owned every one of them. Reda each story a dozen times or more.
