QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 04:55 PM) Meh, that was Moodys part 2. It was such a product of its time, way to slick, IMO. If that was the concert they did at Poplar with The Fixx then I was there too. Come to think of it, that could have been the night of my first cop and feel. . . IIRC 1981/82

Thome - Thomas - Konerko to quote meatloaf two out of three ain't bad.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 02:53 PM) Just keep being a Hater, Tex! :banghead Hate people who spy on the US. Or are they spying to help us out? Still hating the US I4E?

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) What is in Israel's best interests are also what are in the US' best interests! BTW, the intel that Israel provides the US is well worth the financial assistance that we provide to Israel. Yet they feel compelled to spy on us. LOL that you think that is fair, just, or whatever.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) What percentage of GDP is Government outlays? Not a whole lot. Plus we borrow money from foreign countries to give to every citizen in the form of tax cuts. That is the cold hard fact. When we are cutting taxes and borrowing money, it's a pretty straight line. Mrs. Taxpayer, don't send me the $500, I'm going to borrow it from France and someone else will pay it back. Please vote for me!

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 02:18 PM) That tends to happen when taxes get cut. Just so ya know. It's all on borrowed money. Get a $10,000 loan from China and spend it at your local retailers. Keep doing that every month and marvel at how great the local economy is doing. Don't worry, poor people will pay it all back.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) Don't think for a minute that the US doesn't have spies in Israel as well. When they start signing the front of the check and not the back, in other words when they stop accepting our aid and start sending money to us, I say pull our spies and put up with their s***. Until then, we are paying for them to spy on us. That's crazy wrong. Any country that is caught spying on the US should have any aid cut off. If they have money to spy on us, they certainly don't need our help. Hey buddy, here's $20, break into my house for me and steal the rest But of course you will put Israel's interests above the US interests. Now before I too get sucked into a thread that is bringing misty water colored memories to me, I will bow gracefully and exit.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) Depends on what they're wearing underneath. DJ, after seeing your picture, leave the kilt at home for "International Night".

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 01:16 PM) What kind of fool would be carrying $453,000 without at least a sidearm? Guns are illegal in Mexico without a lengthy permit. There was an American Pastor from Alaska a couple years ago that crossed in a popular tourist area near me. Once across he realized he had his .22 rifle with him and immediately went to the Mexico officials and asked what to do. He spent 6 months in jail until his court date. That's being tough on crime.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) See if you can comprehend what I'm saying, I'll write in caps so maybe it's easier for you...ISRAEL IS OUR ALLY! THEY ARE OUR ONLY ALLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST! AND WE PROVE IT WITH OUR POLICIES AND TAX DOLLARS EVERY DAMN DAY. AND THEY SEND SPIES TO THE US. you know, just saying.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) Just making sure it is spicey in here... you can't wake someone who is pretending to be asleep. How about heading over to the love song thread because what the world needs now is love sweet love, its the only thing that theres just to little of, What the world needs now is love sweet love, no, not just for some but for everyone, lord we dont need another mountain, there are mountains and hillsides, enough to climb, there are oceams and rivers, enough to cross, enough to last till the end of time, what the world needs now is love sweet love, its the only thing that theres just to little of, What the world needs now is love sweet love, no, not just for some but for everyone,

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 01:29 PM) Ha! If she put it on mayybe she was trying to tell you something. That is my favorite Moody's tune, btw. The Voice. I was one of the 37 people in the US that loved and bought the Gemini Dreams cassette. I caught them at Poplar Creek during that tour. Great show.

:rolly Some of y'all should know better.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 01:04 PM) DOH... I remembered my boob song "One more night", but forgot "Don't want to miss a thing" which was my wedding song. Good thing my wife doesn't come on here. Oh yeah and Stuck on You by Lionel Richie was our wedding song. I can't remember my boob song IIRC I couldn't hear it over all her screaming

Moon River by Andy Williams makes me swoon . . .

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Nice to see Chicagoans visiting my area, too bad they will not be staying at one of our nice hotels and resorts And someone from Kap's neighborhood wanting a little spending cash for his Mexican vacation

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) I suppose you want (or think you deserve) an explanation...here goes...She has bent over backwards to placate the "Palestinians" every chance she has had. She f**ks Israel over whenever she can. I4E, are you back? We missed you.

I know y'all are having fun with the eye charts, but just one quick break for the Holiday

IIRC Concourse A has the Customs Area. Looking for a friend?

As the poor become poorer and the wealthier, wealtheir, the wealthy will pay a higher percentage of the overall budget. When GM closes a manufacturing plant and those workers struggle to find matching jobs, the middle class slips a bit more. I don't blame that on Bush, just like I didn't blame it on Clinton. It will take a nation to fix that little problem.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) Pheasant hunter here, also a big-time fisherman. I live in Chicago proper. I'm still having a hard time with the generalizations. I usually have a hard time with generalizations, but try and find a camo waterproof duck hunting suit on Michigan Avenue, then try in Joliet or Schaumburg. Where are you pheasant hunting? I was invited to a hunt club near the Ill/Wis line to hunt pheasant. I had never done birds besides a nad duck hunting experience. Pheasant is fun. I loved the walking and hunting. I'm forgetting the name of the town, they are also a huge speed trap. I think it's the last town on 12 before hitting Wisconsin.

LMAO, I wonder if he would have called these WMD's if he wrote this today?

Regarding the guy who was caught trying to have sex with a mannequin . . . QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) He'd be placed on the sex offenders list. So does that mean, if convicted, every time he moves he has to notify department stores about his whereabouts?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) Alright alright.........Who are you and what have you done with Tex?!?!?! I think I've been quick to praise Bush when he does things that are good, and I accept that he will appoint conservatives when given a chance. I believe he has done a nice job of finding diversity within conservatives. There are a number of ideological things that I disagree with him on, and sadly some of that has been on my conservative side. No matter how politicians like to tell us we will have a free lunch while racking up deficits, unless y'all are planning on leaving this country, or finding your way into a lower tax bracket, you and I will be repaying the debt, with interest. Fiscal responsibility was, IMHO, the best card the GOP had over the tax and spend Dems. Reagan taught everyone the don't tax and still spend road map to popularity. I still believe a tax and cut spending until out of debt, works for families and works for governments. The government borrowing money, giving it to us to spend, is like a parent buying approval from their kids. On a personal level, I "like" and "respect" Bush a whole lot. I'd rather he babysit my kids than Clinton. I would rather spend a weekend at Crawford than with the Clintons. I believe on the character issue, he's flawed like all us humans, but as good as we could expect. Like his dad, he seems to have lost enthusiasm and patience for the job.
