QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 09:51 AM) I have an honest question here. Is the NHL still a major sport? IMO there are three major sports now; MLB, NFL, NBA. Don't forget WNBA and AFL

IF it turns out to be a Sox player, I'd be guessing Pods and it would be from his injury and rehab. It was a mistake, he was following Doctor's orders, etc. There would be plenty of innocent explainations.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) Those Grant Park rallys sucked. The Bulls Brothers and Benny and the Luvabulls and of course the Superfans. We looked like an Iowa farmtown welcoming back a highschool football team from a big win. LMAO

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) LMAO .... This is hilarious!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 09:38 AM) Yea, I can ride a bike to where I work. Not. I can take public transportation to where I work. Not. I can buy electricity, which is a compliment to "oil products", and keep my prices down. Not. But that's all my fault. There are companies closer to home. Yes There are houses closer to work. Yes You can put in a solar energy system. Yes Such a negative boy today. Everyplace is in walking distance if you have enough time.

QUOTE(mreye @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 09:40 AM) From what I understand there wasn't enough time to get Grant Park ready. To mow the frickin' grass?

Once the Blackhawks finally win a Stanley Cup, all the major professional sports teams in Chicago will have won in my adult lifetime. I was a wee lad when the Hawks last hoisted Lord Stanley's Cub.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 09:35 AM) That's because they're Mexican. Actually I was thinking it's because they are friends of mine.

QUOTE(evilmisquoter @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 09:31 AM) well, I'm gay.... Let me give you a test

So homesick right now.

Many of my Mexican friends kiss their kids on the lips. No big deal from what I see.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 09:20 AM) Every time this subject comes up, I feel the necessity to state the obvious. Get Rid of Your Cars! Walk. Ride Bicycles. Take public transportation. Put your feet where your mouths presently are. We all make choices in our lives. YOU have chosen to live a life that requires you to own vehicles which run on petroleum products. What has anyone here done besides complain about gasoline prices? What concrete steps have you taken? My job requires internal combustion. No way around it. I try and be fuel efficient. But even if you stop driving, your food, everything you buy at a store, your electricity, your natural gas, all are affected by oil prices. Businesses need to drive to thrive. When transportation costs rise, you will see it when you check out at the local megaMart. And if you are shopping at small mom and pop stores in the neighborhood, you are paying it in higher retail prices because the megaMarts get much better wholesale prices.

I'm a closet lesbian. I love women. Always want to be with women. If all the guys are hanging out together, I'm with the ladies. I never look at guys, always the ladies.

He should be judged by his peers, other conservative, white, republicans, from Texas. Get all these Dems out of the process, they are biased.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 10:00 PM) That was about the worst kept secret in Hollywood. In fact I didn't know it was a secret. Changing your screen name to HollywoodSoxxJim? I never get to hear those Hollywood secrets

Didn't we say and do basically the same thing with Iraq? We called for Iraq's distruction, the difference is we'll spend billions of dollars destroying and billions of dollars rebuilding.

Now if they mixed up quotes of Ozzies, that would have been a big problem

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) Sigh Oil companies dont set the price of their product..........the oil traders in the pits at the NYMEX do. You knew that. Sigh, the oil companies have an impact on the selling price of gasoline? So the oil companies have no control over their profits? Their profits are determined in the pits? No matter how they run their business, their profits and ultimately our retail price is "fixed"? Wrong Nuke. Their wholesale price of raw materials may be determined, but their efficiencies and price they sell the refined product for is a major factor in their profits. If only we had a President who understood the oil industry, maybe has some friend in the oil industry. Then this stuff would never have happened. Towards the earlier comment about increases in retail while the inventory was bought at a lower price. Let's look at the other side of decreases. Gas just dropped to under $2.00 here. If a store had $2.50 gas in their tanks and needed to sell it out before lowering, they would be out of business. Those that have not resupplied are losing on the rest of their storage tanks, but we all know they won months ago when prices went up. That's the game. Plus, at least for one chain down here that I am familiar with, on a retail level, they make way more money on food and sundries, than on fuel. They are happy if they can make a small profit on the gas.
