QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 23, 2006 -> 12:53 AM) Greyback makes me think of Grebeck which makes me think of Craig Grebeck which makes me think if I ever have a pet cat (not likely) I'll name it after a Sox middle infielder from the nineties. Here Grebeck!! Here Snopek!! Here Paco!! I kinda like that last one. I friend of mine has a Boston Terrier named Paco. I doubt it's named for the middle infielder, this Paco can catch anything.

To borrow a page from PA, whomever thought of this thread is a genius and should be elected President.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 22, 2006 -> 04:36 PM) If a guy can throw the N word directly at someone and still not be considered a racist, then what does he need to do? If you are looking for the worst possible insult to make, do you have to be a racist to use it? Everyone here knows the worst thing to call someone, in a fit of anger, they use it. I'm not ready to indict anyone over an angry outburst.

That's not a good career move

This is the day Of the expanding man That shape is my shade There where I used to stand It seems like only yesterday I gazed through the glass At ramblers Wild gamblers Thats all in the past You call me a fool You say its a crazy scheme This ones for real I already bought the dream So useless to ask me why Throw a kiss and say goodbye Ill make it this time Im ready to cross that fine line Chorus: Ill learn to work the saxophone Ill play just what I feel Drink scotch whisky all night long And die behind the wheel They got a name for the winners in the world I want a name when I lose They call alabama the crimson tide Call me deacon blues My back to the wall A victim of laughing chance This is for me The essence of true romance Sharing the things we know and love With those of my kind Libations Sensations That stagger the mind I crawl like a viper Through these suburban streets Make love to these women Languid and bittersweet Ill rise when the sun goes down Cover every game in town A world of my own Ill make it my home sweet home Chorus This is the night Of the expanding the man I take one last drag As I approach the stand I cried when I wrote this song Sue me if I play too long This brother is free Ill be what I want to be Chorus

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Nov 22, 2006 -> 07:51 AM) But a divorce is quite different than being heckled. My sister is going through utter hell, and I guessing that Richards situation at that moment was not the same. I'm thinking he will find a spot on Blue Collar TV within a week. I was making a parallel to someone that wants to destroy the other person with words, not just shout down, etc. he wanted murder.

Perhaps he and OJ could get together and try and save their careers. He was frustrated, mad, enraged, and his brain wasn't working. He grabbed the most hateful words he could find and launched them. Anyone who has been through a bitter divorce will understand trying to murder someone with words.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 11:54 AM) I like myself soft and malleable thanks Makes it easier to remain a virgin Y'all are missing a treat if you don't deep fry the bird. You have to be careful, that is a lot of hot oil. I've also built a garbage can smoker/roaster and done them on camp outs. Basically build a few (3-4) tubes for the coals and suspend the bird in the middle.

Just in case anyone here is running from the law . . .

For all discussions on government spending we must work within budget restraints. Looking at this through the eyes of unlimited funding creates a solution that is only theoretical. Now, I will take a shot at spend and don't tax proponents here, they have convinced a large slice of the public that we do have a virtually unlimited supply of money. They have hoodwinked the public into believing these deficits will result, down the road, in economic prosperity, and all this money will flow back into the treasury. What happens if it flows back but government is still spending more than they take in? We must look at where private industry is funding research and stay out of their game. We must also look at where government funding of research would have military value.We also must balance the budget.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 11:07 PM) Tex, you can be as cynical as you want. I'm not saying this kid deserved it, but I would say I don't blame them for taking this route. I don't think you can have it both ways. You can't one one hand say the kid didn't deserve it *and* say you don't blame the police. The kid was tased; if he deserved it, he was wrong. If he didn't deserve it, the cop was wrong. We are talking shades of right and wrong here because of school rules regarding the taser. I believe, at the minimum, it was excessive and would take action along those lines. The cop has to have the sense to know what is appropriate use of force, and this was a not one, but a couple steps past appropriate. No one was in danger except the person the cop put in danger.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) wow. Great article. I realize after reading the article that PA is probably right, it was the kids fault.

Subject: Jeff Foxworthy on Chicago[/font] Forget Rednecks .....here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about .Chicago If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in Chicago If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in Chicago If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Chicago. If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in Chicago If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of I - 80 for the weekend, you live in Chicago. If you measure distance in hours, you live in Chicago. If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again, you live in Chicago If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Chicago. If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you live in Chicago. If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in Chicago. If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you live in Chicago If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Chicago. If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you live in Chicago. If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in Chicago If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you live in Chicago . If you actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all your friends & others, you live in Chicago.

Right - UCLA asking for IDs after 11 when the library is closed to the public. Wrong - kid not producing the ID Wrong - security police tasering the guy So we have two wrongs. Which one is worse? Look at the potential problems. A non student in the library after hours could . . .?? The taser, is an extreme case, could cause death. I see the threat being much, much, lower than the response. Verdict to the idiot kid over the equally idiotic security cop.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 08:26 AM) I have a question for all of you running that posted your platforms. To a person, you all put down that you support stem cell research. Support it how? By allowing private research, or by using taxpayer dollars to fund it? Short answer, the term stem cell research is a bit misleading, what is really being researched are applications for cures for various human ailments that may be found in stem cells. I think each of those ailments is where the question of funding and private versus public research. Are we funding research to cure Parkinson's, Leukemia, or something more obscure. Example, where there are huge applications for cures, like some common cancers, there is such a huge profit potential, that I do not believe public funding is necessary. Public funding should be limited towards those areas that private enterprise will not fund. I am also an advocate of the government selling any advances they have discovered with stipulations that the drug companies set aside a portion of the profits into drug plans for the poor.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 17, 2006 -> 09:59 AM) If the Dems put one of Edwards/Kerry/Clinton out there as the candidate for Prez in 2008, there is a good chance I will be voting GOP (unless they can find someone even worse). My early favs were both Reps. One almost certainly will not run. The other has my early support, that could change.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 16, 2006 -> 02:06 PM) they're taking debit cards in the red light district now? That's pay for the pump . . .

With the front 4 in this rotation, the team would be competitive for years. Great pitching trumps great hitting over a season. I don't think we need to make major overhauls, taking the Twins, Tigers, and Sox lineups last year, 8 or 9 times out of 10, the Sox would make the playoffs over one or both of those teams. Making major changes over a slight aberration, isn't sound mid range strategy.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 17, 2006 -> 07:45 AM) Holy crap, back from the dead?!?!?! True to Chicago roots, an election is nearing, it always wakes the dead . . .

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 17, 2006 -> 07:44 AM) How about throwing the Senators name around to try to get to the front of the line over people who actually stood in the lines for a chance at the systems, or should that have been a murky issue as well? BINGO! Ding Ding Ding. I think that is much more distasteful than not supervising what store she called. Of course we should now indict every Dem worldwide over the actions of a junior staff member.

Of course we are also assuming that he directly told that staffer to go to WalMart. If anything, it highlights a communications problem in the former Senator's office. His values have not been adequately communicated to all staff members. I am all for nailing hypocrisy, but having some staff member contact the wrong store isn't one.
