Not bored at all. What was your host family like? How do you think the experience changed you, if at all? Did you have a choice of countries?

August 06 QOTM
QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 01:31 PM) Well, you're basically wrong on both fronts. Not really sure why you mentioned the Cubs, as far as I know they've never signed a draft pick with a clause in his contract that he must be called up by September after being drafted earlier in the season. It has nothing to do with being thin pitching wise, they HAVE to call him up. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) Try doing a little research next time... Excellent use of pop culture, I rate it a QOTM

Chicago, My Kind of Town
With the noted exceptions that Mike mentioned, not a bad article. When he started talking about BBQ, I was thinking huh? It never seemed that big of a deal, but I forgot about ribs.

Chicago, My Kind of Town
QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 07:33 AM) Wayne's World=Aurora Besides there can be no vote except for the Blues Brothers I should have said Chicagoland. Ordinary People was a stretch also. The easiest IMHO is The Jungle. Of course conservatives will not want their children to read it. Too much do gooding from the government. Married . . . With Children put Fox on the map. Newhart is a TV Classic, ER is probably the most critically acclaimed, and Good Times was cutting edge social commentary.

Chicago, My Kind of Town
*Hill Street may be a stretch. While the city was never identified, it was usually thought of as Chicago. Discuss

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 04:58 AM) If the rape allegations are true... cant he plea temporary insanity or something like that? My understanding is the allegation doesn't even have to be true. Extreme emotional stress can be caused by a false belief as well.

An East Chicago man was laying in a coma on Thursday after being arres
my heart goes out to everyone in this. I doubt the police officers were malicious, they made a terrible mistake, and will have to live with that.

Who will get the call?
While call ups rarely make a big impact in a stretch run, this year could be the exception.

Troop levels to be reduced in Iraq
QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 06:43 PM) I see no contradiction. We will reduce troop levels by 7000, we just don't know when. If he had meant that troop levels would be reduced within any given span of time, that would be a deadline. And deadlines mean the terrorists win. Now, this is all very obvious, so while I don't want to question your patriotism, I have to ask, Balta, why do you hate America? Fixed it.

And that's a White Sox loser
TB LOB 19! You know, we probably didn't deserve to win this one.

And that's a White Sox loser
We can lose with the best of them. 8-9-1 currently is about the most pathetic stretch I can recall in Sox uniforms. I did say as long as we win 7/8 series, we'd get in, and we won this series, but it feels like we gave one away.
