Sounds like an opportunity to hit the bars . . .

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 10:32 AM) Mimes. Every damn one of them. Even the ones with the baseball bats and the rollerskates from The Warriors. Especially them. My son and a buddy were looking for a movie to rent. I hooked them up with a really funny comedy - Warriors I sooooo like the mimes in that movie. They can stay. The others need an butt kicking. And anyone that substitues butt for ass, when that is an acceptable usage.

are there any decent humans playing in the nba? I am so disgusted with the nba (artest etc.)

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) Konerko himself said that the Thome acquisition was a huge reason that he decided to return. Don't believe everything you read. Do you think helping the front office with a future PR problem, would be part of the deal?

LOL

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 04:16 PM) I haven't seen the commercials, well, maybe one. But I didn't pay that much attention to it. I'll watch closer next time. I have to watch now, once the real campaign starts, he won't spend a dime south of 37.

It's so bad, it's indie . . .

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 11:35 AM) But HONESTLY big. Nah, you know those guys on the A's. They've been juicing since Canseco

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 03:52 PM) This is stupid. Who cares where he was? The point is he called for it. It probably doesn't matter, but it damn sure is funny. How stupid can he be? There is something about losing a Presidential race that turns these guys brains to mush.

Kap and any Texas GOP, what do you think of Perry's new TV ads? For some reason, probably meeting him three times and a Scouting connection, I like the guy and so far have not found a better candidate.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 03:49 PM) LMAO. STOP IT! You're killing me. Actually let's look at this GOP Gov. Perry: Kap? No Tex? Yes GOP DeLay: Kap No Tex? Yes Damn, I have to leave, Kap gets to stay.

QUOTE(heirdog @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 03:15 PM) Ok. Thanks. Glad you found us See here's a new fan who seems like a nice guy . . .

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 03:34 PM) Is he gone?? If so, then I'll go throw another aborted fetus on the fire and light up a big fatty while somebody else reads aloud from the Collected Writings of Karl Marx. Whoaaaaaaaaa, wait a cotton picking second here. Kap, you mean you ain't a Democrat? Well hells bells, you fooled me.

QUOTE(TheHammer @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 02:46 PM) hes saying Frank is a loser and a cancer, btw. Which a few posters here have agreed with. . . :rolly

QUOTE(Cknolls @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) Asked if the administration was taking Kerry's call for a filibuster seriously, White House press secretary Scott McClellan chuckled on Friday and said: "I think it was a historic day yesterday. It was the first ever call for a filibuster from the slopes of Davos, Switzerland." Once again a neutral country is key to Kerry . . .

Once a thread is started, it is anyones, and I don't want to pout and say that's not what this thread is about, but I will I was hoping for an area where each side could go to cool out and maybe offer a release point. I enjoy reading most of the GOP views on this forum, so it isn't like I prefer not to read these posts, but it is nice to share with intelligent, compassionate, courteous, cheerful, beautiful, like minded people instead of GOPerheads.

I've always believe that both teams had about the same base of knowledgable fans, and that the Cubs got 75% of the casual fan and 90% of the "out of town fan". Now is the chance to take the town from the Cubs and some Sox fans are trying to chase away the casual fan. We should differentiate the casual fan who attends a couple games a summer, from a true bandwagon jumper who tries to act like he's been a fan forever, those guys annoy me. The guys who try and quote Sox history, wrap themselves up in Sox swag. Those guys I have no time for. But Bernie and Betty from Schaumburg who decide to take their kids to visit The Cell this summer for their once a year MLB game, instead of Wrigley, I salute and welcome.

It is interesting that people who found inspiration in this guys story, when they believed it to be true, suddenly have lost that inspiration whe they learned it was fiction. I guess when someone publishes a book that becomes a "self help, here's how I saved myself", people want the guy to actually have suffered. How about a "that is great, you didn't spend all that time in jail".

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 05:16 AM) So, we should give California, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona back to Mexico? Texas was an Independent Country

Suddenly I started singing . . . Muskrat, muskrat candlelight Doin’ the town and doin’ it right In the evenin’ It’s pretty pleasin’ Muskrat susie, muskrat sam Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land And they shimmy And sammy’s so skinny And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singin’ and jingin’ the jango Floatin’ like the heavens above It looks like muskrat love Nibbling on bacon, chewin’ on cheese Sammy says to susie honey, would you please be my missus? And she say yes With her kisses And now he’s ticklin’ her fancy Rubbin’ her toes Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes As they wriggle, and sue starts to giggle And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singin’ and jingin’ the jango Floatin’ like the heavens above It looks like muskrat love La da da da da ...

QUOTE(False Alarm @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 09:44 AM) "my friend leonard." it's about a friend he made in jail. he was in jail for, like, half an hour. LMAO I'm really starting to like this guy.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) Also, Austin drivers...maybe it's just like this in Texas, but I have NEVER seen such horrible drivers in my whole life...and I learned how to drive in Chicago, around Devon, if you know what I'm sayin'! Come on down about 200 miles south. Austin is a dream compared to the border. Driving norms are a bit different all over the US and Mexico. So we put winter Texans and Mexican together and watch the fun. Biggest difference. In Mexico, if you are merging onto a busier road, you are expected to stop on the ramp and wait for an opening. In the US, it's hit the gas and make an opening. Imagine the fun of drivers mixing and matching those techniques. There are so many accidents on both sides of the border because of the different norms.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 09:37 AM) I'm neutral toward Oprah, but I think it's funny how all the haters are jumping all over her about this. When you read a book that is non fiction, do you assume everything in it is true or do you question it? I'm not familiar with her whole Book Club thing. Does she have a responsibility to verify facts? She kept defending him against the critics. She even went on Larry King and defended the guy. It would embarass anyone to stick your neck out and your reputation, only to find out you'e been conned and you helped sell the con to millions. Her book club recomendation means an almost guaranteed million selling book. She has become one of the most powerful literary critics around.
