QUOTE(Mercy! @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 08:07 AM) Okay, let me get this straight. You’ve got this “friend” wink wink who’s doing a “research project” wink wink and needs jokes about CONDOMS. And that got you thinking about “what works, what doesn’t.” So you’re asking for specific details and…. Puhleese! Did we just fall off the turnip truck, or what? Can’t you just call 1-800-RUBBERS? On a slightly related note (but honest I’m not referring to you, Tex) – is anyone here old enough to remember the scourge of dirty phone calls we used to have to put up with? They were just a fact of life. These pathetic pervs – a lot of them must have just dialed at random and waited for a woman to answer before starting up with their nonsense. Caller ID just wiped that out instantly after it came out. One good piece of technology. Don’t know what made me think about that all of a sudden. Well, sorry, didn’t mean to put a damper on the Rubber-A-Thon. Carry on. Actually Mercy, she is doing youth protection training for a youth group and hoping to keep their attention. She thought a couple jokes and stories would help. She called various health agencies and the biggest complaint the health departments hear is they take away from, not add to the enjoyment. If some of these features improved upon original equipment, that would seemingly be a good thing. But that story would be too boring and I'm working some humor and seeing what would work, hence my original post. I think she is crazy, but always willing to help a volunteer. Do people still call them rubbers? I just got an idea for a visual joke with a rain slicker and rubber boots. If it was something else, wouldn't I just volunteer to buy the rack and commence testing? And getting back to phone calls, when I was living in Wildwood, my phone number was 223-3825 which happened to spell ACE-f***, thank you very much. I would get reverse perv jokes. People calling me to tell me my phone number spelled 223-f***. I sometimes played along, if it wasn't too late. Once a couple of young girls called and I started asking them about it, and they screamed they were calling the cops, I laughed and said, hey YOU called ME!

I'd like to see Clemens, Oswalt, amd Pettit all throw out about a 100 pitches. Yes, I still think Houston wll be in.

I love the pre-game, the post game, the interviews, the replays. The convienence of bathrooms, concessions, and I can choose which idiots I watch the game with. I've attended enough Championship games in other sports to get my fix. But every fan should get a chance at a Championship game. Watching the Penguins skate with the Cup at the old stadium was a thrill

I would much rather watch a WS game on TV.

My usual order of cheering Sox Houston AL Central AL It's football season.

I knew he was innocent, let's just stop the trial here and save some time and money. Give him a 7-11 in Beverly and call it a day.

Who goes to work on their days off? It's a long season with a lot of travel and time away from home. I'll bet Hawk and Co. are happy to be home with the family and watching on TV. Taking a month away from their off season isn't something I would expect from him. Do you think he loves doing play by play so much he sits in his living room and does it for fun? Preparing for the games and doing the games is a lot of work. I am certain he enjoys it, but work just the same. And shouldn't a TV guy support his profession and want to see it on TV and not be at the game?

QUOTE(knightni @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) We're crashing more today than a meth addict the day before the welfare check. And that's the problem in this country, people too damn lazy to go out and steal something, instead just waiting for the government check.

Minnie, and Aparicio for certain. Fisk was honored already this year, as was Frank. I don't see any repeats like that. I also don't think a former GM turned announcer will be getting a chance. Nancy would clearly be a crowd favorite if actual dyed in the wool Sox fans were at the game. Here's a name not on the list and worthy of consideration, former Governor Jim Thompson who stopped time to get a stadium deal done and keep JR from moving the team.

And when the Cubs finally make a WS, the media will be interviewing Sox fans to get their reaction. This is something that makes Chicago baseball unique to the world. Again, people outside Chicago can't imagine Chicagoans rooting against a Chicago team. I probably explained that 50 times during the Cubs crash. JR, KW, and Oz all mentioned the Cubs during and immediately following the ALCS. While we are the few the proud, the team would like to increase from the few part and keep the proud. One of their battles are all the Sox fans who want to keep this the few and not wind up like the Cubs and have a Sox team 12 games below .500 and drawing 30,000 on a weeknight to see Seattle a la the north side.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 12:13 AM) That's old news Tex. I'm old Back to my original question, is there a difference, or is this all marketing hype?

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) By me, I"LL SAY! I usually left that stuff up to my ex. I mean, buying the condoms, not uh, oh nevermind. Anyway, Tex, this wasn't what you had in mind, I guess, but .................. After the Sox clinched, I was having some guilty pleasure reading the final game day thread at a pretty lame Angels message board, and got a good chuckle out of this exchange when the Angels brought in a relief pitcher: LOL, that is priceless.

He only won because the Rally Crede was ineligible.

The Rally Crede is never called late to supper

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) Well, my foot fit into my dansko's today so I got to wear those to the Opera with my little ankle brace instead of air cast. What Opera did you see? What group?

A friend of mine calls me, she is doing a little research project and needed some jokes about condoms. For some strange reason she thought I just might know a couple. Where things became interesting was when she described her trip to the store and all the different styles. Now it has been along time since I've been in the market for condoms, I find my looks and personality are effective means of birth control.I arrive at the store and realize why I've never been down that aisle. One side is the bewildering array of feminine hygiene products to clean and maintain a (I believe the official soxtalk term is) cooter. The other side of the aisle seems to be for teenagers and hookers. That's where I am heading. Much to my surprise I see an old, even by my standards, man standing in front of the condoms. Now I am a little surprised to see an octogenarian looking over the selection, I'm guessing he's strolling through the park reminiscing. Then I see the continence products are conveniently displayed next to the condoms, how cruel and taunting I think. But then again if the old guy doesn't know if he's coming or going, this is handy. He leaves with his Depends and a 6 of Coors Lite, and I begin to review the selections. What the hell happened to condoms in 20 years? Flavors?! Being a guy from birth, I never actually owned a cooter, so I was shocked to learn you ladies can taste with one. I am assuming this is really for the guys. "Come on honey, pleeeease, it will taste like bananas . . ." Bananas, what a cliche`. Then we have pleasure bumps, pleasure humps, and pleasure dots. Ladies are these really pleasurable? Tingling sensation for him, tingling sensation for her, mutual pleasure, mandelay (I thought it was a Vegas casino) glow in the dark (strobe light effects?), and once again flavors? Will anyone admit to tasting one? So I need some stories. What works, what doesn't.

I knew you would like that.

I have not met someone who has filed for divorce that didn't have a honey waiting. He/She might not be the next full time partner, but there was someone there. I am certain it has happened, I just don't know anyone.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) I don't think anybody is screwed - not totally at least. I agree they should be able to send out a 'processing request' general email or at least post it on the site, but I'm sure they set aside what they thought was an appropriate amount of WS tix for people who purchased the packages and those were not part of the general release. Now, whether they held back enough for each package to get 1 WS ticket for each of the 4 potential games is another matter. I reread that first sentence at least 50 times, and it still sounds like the idea was you would get an offer to by a ticket to each game – with the "if available" caveat large-looming and now pregnant with meaning. For what it's worth, my Dad took momentary leave of his usually fiscally responsible senses (Go Dad!!) and signed on the line for a pair of full season plans as well. So I'm pinning my hopes on this coming through just like you. When the Bulls used the All-Star game as a sales tool, they did run out of seats.

Great Ticketmaster fiasco generates 251 users, a new record. Now we know why the newspapers report bombing, not school openings.

I vote Rally Crede!

Not that simple sir. If Mexico started torturing it's citizens would we throw open the border? Iraq has been known to torture a person or two, yet we do not offer carte blanche entry into the US for them. Same with China, Kuwait, Afganistan, Iran, etc. I think an immigration judge should always hear these cases, even for Cuban illegals. I would hate to think the next terorist attack would be conducted by a Cuban illegal waltzing into the country.

QUOTE(JCarver27 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) For those who got game 7......what if it doesn't go 7 games? Do they give you your money back? Yes, but it usually takes some time. It may be a mail in program, a stop by the box office, etc. In all cases you will need your original tickets. You will also lose the TM surcharges. The clubs usually only refund the face value.
