If I was on a deserted island, and could only have one band, I'd take the Who

^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'll shuffle with Big Ed anyday

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 11:02 AM) To beef up my adult easy listening offerings I now know not to raid Tex's collection for fear of inducing a coma. Maybe Tex's grandma's collection might have some more zip to it. That said, I scared myself a week or so in the car when a Bee Gees song came on the radio and I didn't immediately flip the channel like I have been conditioned to do. So this is what middle-age looks like, huh Tex? I was trying to stay as far away from Rock as I could. I would have added tunes like Tangled Up In Blue, but then some would claim that as rock.

We have our rock lists, but what about those pop tunes that aren't exactly rock? Abraham, Martin, and John - Dion Yesterday - Beatles Chicago My Kind of Town - Sinatra Rainy Days and Mondays - Carpenters Peaceful Easy Feeling - Eagles What's Going On - Gaye Ooh Child - The Five Stairsteps Carefree Highway - Gordon Lightfoot Please Come to Boston - Harry Chapin Sentimental Lady - Fleetwood Mac This list is actually more difficult for me. Buffet should be there somewhere.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 07:11 AM) Oh that is too funny on so many levels And so many of those levels would lead to a suspension. BTW, this has come up before, people b**** when party is mentioned, people b**** when it isn't. So some conservative reporter and copy editor declined to give credit to a Dem cadidate for doing the right thing and firing the staffer. I don't think the Dem party should get credit for doing the right thing. So I could start a blog, write a bunch of b.s. and have it represent all of BSA because I am a "junior staffer"? Come on Evil, certainly you aren't making a big deal about someone who was hired, and then dismissed when this was discovered? I can't see throwing a parade for the congressman.

Dust in the Wind is playing and it's time to see what the shuffle will bring Oh What a Night - Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons She Just Started Liking Cheating Songs - John Anderson Already Gone - Eagles A Place for My Stuff - George Carlin (perhaps those three are telling me something?) So Young - Corrs Peaceful Easy Feeling - Eagles Fur Elise - Beethoven Summer in the City - Lovin' Spoonful Black Horse and the Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall Whoomp There it is! - Jock Jams Bonus Track Operator - Jim Croce

QUOTE(shipps @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 09:55 AM) But how could you ever really tell if someone truly has A.D.D.?It seems like its something a player can easliy fake. 1. That's what Doctors are trained to look out for. 2. Players can always find a Doctor willing to "help". 3.

There is potential for abuse when the league starts allowing medical exemptions for banned drugs. But it's difficult, when confronted by a player presenting a legitimate medical condition, to now allow treatment. Especially if that treatment basically brings him back up to level with everyone else. The banned substance program should prevent someone from having an unfair advantage, not preventing someone from getting to level fair.

\ QUOTE(shipps @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 09:45 AM) I just finished watching ESPN Outside the lines,and they did a story about Adam LaRoche.He has been given permission by MLB to take a banned stimulant because he has A.D.D.He was hitting like crap for the first couple months of the season,but when allowed to take the stimulant in June he has hit in the .330 range with 17 hrs.I think this could open the doors for alot players to find even more loopholes to take performance enhancing drugs and give the opportunity to come up with new excuses. Popular on the PGA tour are betablockers for high blood pressure. Amazing how many golfers have high blood pressure.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 09:32 AM) And you're from Chicago? All things Detroit = SUCKS. I know. But I think it's better when this division gets some respect around the country and that comes with winning. The AL East never produces a team to cheer for? Yankees? Red Sox? The West coast about the same, plus how many seasons have died, in part, to the west coast swings? And to be totally blasphemas, I'll be cheering for Maggs, if they make it.

Just a reminder that the won/loss record of the team does not change posting rules and etiquette around here. No personal attacks, no death wishes, etc. will be tolerated.

Go Frank. I usually cheer for the AL Central team, then the AL team. This year it will be a toss between Detroit and Oakland. I am hapy to see Detroit having a great season. They have a nice franchise, great history.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:28 AM) iPods can sense if they are being forced to interface with any of that cheap iron wintel hardware, and then they give up and die. If you were using a Mac the iPod would be happy and wouldn't commit iSuicide. That is know in scholarly circles as the "Misery Love Company Theory". And if it works for you, it is evidence that two wrongs do make a right, although, in city driving, three lefts will make a right.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 11:01 PM) I'd agree to Day In The Life before I agree to anything by Marvin Gaye. Marvin Gaye is not Classic Rock. Marvin Gaye = just about perfection. You just like the name

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 01:03 PM) It looks like I'm in the minority, but so what? Unless the US is being directly threatened in this conflict, we should not be involved. Same goes for Iraq. We are not the World's Policeman. How about the human race going to help other humans who are being slaughtered? When humans sit idly by and watch other defenseless humans being slaughtered, that is the beginning of the end. One thing that elevates humans past animals is empathy. Most humans have the ability to separate right from wrong. This is not a civil war, this is most analogous to cattle being slaughtered.

He hit the "I don't care, I'm throwing it out anyway, I want to take it apart and see what is inside" stage and just pried apart the case. All of a sudden it would boot again.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 04:37 AM) I've always thought Norm is one of the most underated comics. Yes, I think you are correct. He always seems to make me laugh.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 09:47 AM) Ah, it was bound to happen. iPod won't power on or anything. The screen is on, but nobody is home. I played a video, the video ended, and the screen stayed on, but blank. Nothing works. Plugging into the computer doesn't do a dang thing, nothing. $400 isn't a bad price for a paperweight, is it? My son's iPod started working again after he took it apart. He didn't do anything, but all of a sudden it started working again. That trick has worked three or four times with him. Personally, I think iPods suck for quality.

The Soviet Union never had this problem. The government would just tell everyone the stories and then TAAS would report the news. No free press was needed, the government voluntarily disclosed that stuff. Too bad we couldn't be more like that. Newspapers wouldn't need confidential sources when the government starts telling us what the news really is. Once the government eliminates judges and newspapers that hinder their abilities to rule absolutely, we'll be so much happier. It worked so well in other countries. Sounds to me like they are trying to protect their sources. Sounds to me that if a whistleblower wants to come forward the newspaper will go to the wall to protect them.

* *back on the train to hell . . .

I could make another top 10 list, and be happy with it, just from some of the ones on everyone elses' list. I would say my top 3 would be Feelin' Alright - Cocker Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC Anyone of several Who tunes. Hello It's Me is an incredible pop song and worthy of top honors. I'd probably also have to pull something off Tapestry and perhaps At Seventeen or Clouds and try them all on . . . #1 Guilty Pleasure -- Brandy

He was talked about a couple years ago and according to rumours then, he was interested. Check out those two links.
