QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 09:28 AM) Post my life events here? I don't have any. Ok, seriously. Since we got the big weekend out of the way last week, I'll share now. My wife is expecting our first, due sometime around Mid-May. We should know more about the due date and all of that next week. So, last night we were in the grocery store and we looked at the price of diapers and food and all that good stuff. Damn, poor house here we come! Congratulations! BTW, note to new parents, when the diaper says good to 20 pounds, that's the baby's weight not the load.

This will be a long week.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 08:55 AM) I saw a pic in today's paper of school busses full of people being taken out of Galveston by the gov. Yeah, what stupid idea that would have been for N.O. Texans are sooooooo much smarter.

So what's happening? How is everyone? Southsider and QP need to update on the wedding, the baby, and the new house.

Eat what you kill. 7-4 is about the season win rate and the kind of roll that would help in the playoffs.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 05:20 PM) So you're the asshole. What can I say, I'm just a dumb newb.

Why doesn't Bush just ask her to leave us alone? That's what Reagan would have done.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 05:48 AM) 45 degrees should be fine. Suggestion. Nail the angle brace to the plywood, then let the other end rest on the ground. Drive your stake at an angle that puts pressure on the brace and snugs the plywood up to your building, then tack the brace in place with a nail or two so the wind (and flopping plywood) doesn't work the brace up the slightly angled stake. I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned flapping plywood, there is probably some value in cutting the plywood to fit the window frame instead of on the brick. Being "inset" would reduce the flapping. I was trying to avoid having five different size boards to deal with.

In 1900 Galveston was hit by a huge hurricane and over 6,000 people died. Amazing how far we have come.http://www.1900storm.com/

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 06:04 PM) MSNBC was saying it's something like the 5th largest storm ever recorded. I'm not sure if that was the exact statistic, maybe the 5th largest storm ever to hit the US. 5th strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 05:16 PM) It still has plenty of time, by the way, to go through a full cycle of this before it slams ashore. This one is a f***ing Monster. When the evacuation order was given for Key West, only 50% of the residents left. Hopefully the people in Texas are looking towards Louisiana and seeing what it did there. The maddening thing to me is, people will die. There is no way anyone should die in this, yet they will. :headshake

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) Man, if there was a Mr. Hashana that could get me off for 3 days, I would not let that one get away!!!!! Wow. If he could get you off for three days, he would be a gaziollionaire and never have to work a day in his life. Putting the S in SL&P

I was looking for b****ass passionless Sox thread from two years ago. It felt right around 9:45 last night.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) CNN reporting Rita is now a Cat 5. If I'm going to get hit, make it a Cat 5.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) Wow, watching the replay last night, I thought AJ had just jumped over him, LMAO. same here.

My Fav AJ moment is throwing down to third after a strike out, he looks and acts excited for the strike out. AJ and Everett were suppose to be terrible clubhouse guys. I'll take those troubles times 25.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 12:17 AM) That is a good Texas phrase. Right up there with, "Why yes, I'd be happy to be a member of your Cabinet, Mr. President." And no one needs to know about that DUI and we'll get rid of those Air National Guard sign in sheets.

A professor at Cleveland University was giving a lecture of the supernatural. To get a feel for his audience, he asks, "How many people here believe in ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands. "Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you have seen a ghost?" About 40 students raise their hands. "That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?" About 15 students raise their hand. "Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" 3 students raise their hands. "That's fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further...Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?" Way in the back, Bubba raises his hand. The professor takes off his glasses, and says "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience." The big redneck student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium. When he reached the front of the room, the professor asks, "So, Bubba, tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost?" Bubba replied, "Shiiiit! From way back thar I thought you said 'Goats'."

What happened to the good old days of Florida taking the hit

QUOTE(EvilMisquoter @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) Ross Hashana can't come fast enough. Then you need to ditch Mr. Hashana and get a boyfriend that will spend more time.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) Damn, man. How many times do you want New Orleans to be hit?!? Thank you for making me look evil.
