Chicagoland Pizza
Deep dish? Lou's Sausage Thin, sausage, green pepper, onion, mushroom? Pat's Pizza in Grayslake Bacon? Rosati's There is no way a true pizza gourmet could get everything at one place.

Thomas takes high road in response to Williams
IMHO the hierarchy of STFU and taking the high road Owners > General Managers > Managers > Coaches > HoF caliber players > Starters > Bench Guys > AAAA hanger ons I think it is a respect the game type of thing. So in this case, we have JR , nice move KW, sorry wrong Ozzie, nice move Coaches, all nice move HoF caliber player, wrong, but less than Kenny.

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 12:14 PM) Very good. I couldn't believe it was invented that long ago, and actually on the market as early as 1951. I'm writing a piece on biomimetics and thought Velcro would be a good example of design inspired by nature. Nautilus weight lifting machines would add a nice marine component to the discussion. Would the rally crede count

Dubai Ports selling out
QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) My industry is specifically impacted by this. And it's not the way you've presented it. The maquilla operations are local, generally full loads except emergencies, and almost always company owned trucks. They are taking material from one manufacturing plant to another. For most of our maquilla drivers, the wait to cross the International Bridge and clear customs is longer than the actual driving time.

New Sox player representative
And with that announcement, Kenny Williams relaxed and knew his team's chance for a repeat was all but assured, the last piece of the puzzle was laid . . .

Thomas takes high road in response to Williams
QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 03:43 PM) "Jerry has done everything over the course of 16 years to protect that man, to make accommodations for him, concessions for him. He loaned him money, at times, when he needed money," Williams said. What a jag. What she said . . .

Great songs that were overkilled...
QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 09:40 AM) I got so overly burned out by Fleetwood Mac when "Rumours" came out that I couldn't or wouldn't listen to them for 25 years or so. Eventually, I was able to give them another listen and they are among my favorites now. Boston, Foreigner and REO Speedwagon come to mind as groups that were also played to the point of overkill. Also Journey. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Don't Stop Believing made a come back this summer as well . . .

Lasik Cost?
I have used extended wear contacts with excellent results. I can't see without correction, well of 20/1000, fumbling for glasses at night was a pain. Extended wear worked great for me. I'm wearing glasses again, for some other reasons, but am considering a switch back for all the water stuff I'll be doing this summer.

Dennis Weaver (Gunsmoke) died from cancer
QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 02:23 PM) Yessirree, and that show was initial big break for Adam Sandler, Colin Quinn, and Dennis Leary. Which prompts the question, 'what the hell ever became of Ken Ober?!?' Hmmm Ken Ober, dead or alive?

Fav. Classic Rock Song
I know if I wanted to explain to a traveler from Mars what Rock and Roll is all about, I'd play him A Day . . . The screaming guitars, the heavy bass and drum beats, the loud lyrics, all spell classic rock to me. :headshake It's like it winning classic r&b as well. To me classic rock is loud, fast, and pounding.

Cheney Persuaded to Retire After Mid-Terms
What makes me believe this is b.s. is it would come after the elections, if anything they would do it before the elections in a bid to add a couple seats to their majority.

Cell Phone Gun
Guns have been concealed in everything from pens to canes, hiding one as a cell phone is just the next step and I am certain was anticipated by Homeland Security. Was Chaney shooting his Razor?

Dennis Weaver (Gunsmoke) died from cancer
QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) Sure enough. I wondered who number 3 was going to be. And somehow, Old Abe keeps on ticking. . . really, I thought he was dead. BTW, MTV had a great game show a couple decades ago, Remote Control, one of their catagories was celbrity, dead or alive. They also had Brady Physics.

Jersey Help
QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:48 AM) 55-Brandon McCarthy Or 57-Jeff Bajenaru Make a Soxtalk type statement ^^^^^^^ And it's kind of an indie thing. Not mainstream and fanboy

Kenny Fires Back At Frank
So many thoughts running through my head. Sad, very sad. There was many seasons that by August the only joy in the park was watching Frank. Last I looked, no one bought a ticket to watch the GM. I wish Kenny had acted like a front office professional and kept on the high road instead of talking about the greatest White Sox batter of all time like he was some AAAA hanger on. I wish JR had picked up the phone, and am shocked he didn't. In fact, has that been confirmed that JR didn't pick up the phone? And finally, I wish Frank had acted like a HoF professional, and he too was quiet. So my scorecard reads: Frank, STFU Kernny, STFU JR, pick up the phone

Steinbrenner predicts championship for Yankees
I am trying to remember the last time the Yankees had a team that wasn't a threat to win it all. The Yankees are the premier organization in sports. Always in or around the playoffs. 8 consecutive division wins, 10 losing seasons in the past 80 years, 39 AL pennants, 26 World Champships. No white flags. George can talk all he wants, the Yankees have earned it. With that comes a price, every team wants to knock the Yankees on their ass and it feels so good to watch them fall.

Wells diagnosed with blocked artery
QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 12:19 PM) I also thought David Wells. Then I expected an MRI showing a whole hotdog stuck in an artery. ^^^^^^ I hope everything works out for him.
