QUOTE(dasox24 @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 01:28 AM) I did all that. I checked it on both line 1 and line 2, but it was just a blue screen, which is what it looks like normally before I turn on my PS2. I guess that means the wiring or something is messed up b/c it seems to me like I hooked everything up correctly. Did you try with the VCR on and then off. IIRC my system needed to be on channel 96 or something crazy like that.

I hate taking down the Iguchi, that is so cool.

*TEXAS BALANCE* Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God. "Where have you been?" God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made." Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?" "It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance." "Balance?" Inquired Michael as still confused about the whole affair. God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth but cold and harsh while southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and pleasant. "I have made some lands abundant in water and other lands parched deserts. This one will be extremely hot and while this one will be very cold and covered in ice." The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to an extremely large land mass and said, "What's that one?" "Ah," said God. "That's TEXAS -- the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful beaches, streams, hills, and forests. The people from TEXAS are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace." Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance!" God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I put in AUSTIN."

Keep It Simple Sox fans Platoon Paul and Jim, keep everyone else in their spots. Move on.

Which is why I hate the "I'm going to vote for every White Sox player regardless" mentality. Last I looked, there are a lot of Yankmee and Red Sox fans out there. I am a little surprised at the love for our infield, and shocked that Dye is still overlooked. I guess a WS MVP doesn't open enough eyes.

I've had good success with HP, Sony, and Dell. A lot will be determined by what you will be using it for. I am finding myself using mine for presentations more and will get a bigger screen next time. I also want a decent docking situation so I can use it almost like a desktop when I'm at home. ALthough that last feature is fading since I put in a wireless network at home.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2006 -> 01:23 PM) Do we get the same quotes after a Klan rally, or those bastards to protest the funerals of the war dead? The closest we get is coverage of the biker gang who tries to shield the families from the protesters. We never see a mainstream Christian leader get equal face time to say that Christ told us to love one another and what these people are doing is wrong in God's eyes. Should those protestors received world wide coverage? And I'm not certain that comparing a mainstream Christian leader with a fringe Muslim extremist group is the same. And I receive several emails each day with exactly the same message you are talking about. Beliefnet does an excellent job with just that sort of message.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 31, 2006 -> 04:57 PM) haha so now you think the laws of the nation should be respected? changed your mind, huh. And I think our laws should benefit us, which would be a controlled immigration policy.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 31, 2006 -> 01:00 PM) These images support our cause of going after nutjobs like this. That's why it wasn't news here. How does the media decide this? Is there some super secret meeting, maybe a secret internet? How are all media companies represented? Do they elect leaders to decide what to cover? I wonder if they have decided who their cadidates will be in 2008. It must be so powerful that even Fox and the WSJ won't blow the cover on it. This would be our nations best kept secret.

Damn right Daley should make a stink if he sees something wrong in the city. And damn right city workers who know his travel habits will work to make certain he doesn't see anything out of place. Just like almost every company out there. Move along, no story here . . .

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 31, 2006 -> 12:02 PM) Well that's what is so damn frustrating. To be so good on defense yet so bad on offense. All glove and no bat. Could we DH for him and let the pitchers bat?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:28 AM) To be honest, there was no Sox fan doing anything nearly this funny or creative until the Palehose Six emerged from the briney fogs. I still think she is hilarious dispite the fact she hates the Sox. In a twisted sort of way, I think it makes it funnier, because she actually does enough homework to understand Sox fans. Not much different than SNL's parodies of Bears fans.

Damn I do miss the daily crew days when he was working at the bank with those nice old ladies Happy Birthday!!

500 wackos stage a protest in London. Doesn't seem like something that would get worldwide coverage. Imagine of 500 wackos could get that kind of publicity for their cause. I don't know at what point something should receive worldwide attention, but that just doesn't seem like it.

I'm shocked! Do we think he is whole or in pieces?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2006 -> 09:04 AM) I was employed for a company that was bought by GMSA and was promised that no layoffs would occur. I was in the unemployment line in 3 months, and within a year 29 of the 30 people in our office were gone. Were you all replaced by illegals

QUOTE(whitesoxin @ May 30, 2006 -> 07:50 PM) ^^^^^ What a stupid b**** with no life. The only thing that would make her blog better was to be a Sox fan. I find her to be funny and usually original.

When we had the best record in the AL, I thought we could continue the BA experiment. But now that we have the second best record in the AL, we need a major house cleaning and get some guys in who can play both ways. BA = Crede 2004

Steff, I am so sorry to hear about that.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 31, 2006 -> 05:31 AM) Of course. That must be it. I'm guessing you have an alternate theory, please share? I think you are angling different than what I was thinking. Are you talking about entitled to free speech, warrents before search and seizure, police protection, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, perhaps an education, a better life for your children, a free press, an honest government, the right to guns, etc? Perhaps entitled to not starve on the streets, to have some help with room and board? One thing I remember from a long time ago, we could have an America that the least amongst us pay for. Poor roads, fewer police, intermittent water, missing road signs, etc. Or we could live in the America that some cannot contribute their full share. Somewhere down the line, we chose an America that the poorest could not afford. If we divided up equally the cost of running our government, the poorest couldn't afford it and the wealthiest would have even greater wealth. So do you want to live in a Five Star Country, or what the poor could provide?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 31, 2006 -> 12:19 AM) She was at peace with her impendig death right up through her final days which did help ease the pain of losing her and I do feel a whole hell of a lot better than I did yesterday. Also, I do feel I am back to my same smartass self so that's a positive. I remember when my own grandma passed away a couple years ago from pancreatic cancer. I flew up to be with her for a week and when I walked in I told her, "Damn grandma, you really got yourself in a jam this time" My aunts were aghast. Later my grandma told me that only my cousin and I seemed to realize that she was dying. Everyone else was in denial. She was at peace with dying, she too lived a long life. I hope when it's my time I will have that same peace. Ultimately we are judged by the things that cannot be taken away. It sounds like she has a great family and y'all have great memories, that is a wonderful life.

My employer wins one in court, or rather before it got to court.

Nice, I think that went well.

Is Clemens sitting out then playing the back end of the season good for baseball? Will other players just play the last four months? I don't like the trend, although I am a big Rocket fan and the Astros are my #2 team.
