I hate shaving. I use to grow a beard every winter. Now, no winter = no beard.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 10:29 AM) First of all its Fraternity. And stereotypes are for the ignorant. If you have that much to say about one, you wish you were in one. I have a lot to say about women, but I'd rather date one than be one.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) Whats a "KPH"? That's a Kong to Pierz to Hermanson double play

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 12:09 AM) I'd go right for the 'Must suck to be you' jab. Hey, it can only get better from there. I was on the same line as Jim only what the hell happened to you? Or, why noy try some Freudian Therapy on her? If she is wasting your time, you might as well waste hers.

This is now crazy. As a manager, I'd be thinking this erratic behavior could be brought on my a drug or alcohol problem. Not speculating exactly with Marte.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 05:05 PM) I didn't really think it was all that tacky but a couple posters there got bent outta shape over it. It is probably tacky on that Hot Irish Chicks Getting Married Board you hang out at picking out tiarras and wedding gowns Hmm, green for Ireland or green for sarcasm??

QUOTE(rangercal @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 03:36 PM) OK, Who voted Duke? QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 03:59 PM) Holy cow, Ozzie Guillen posts on Soxtalk!!! Quick, someone set up a poll asking who should leadoff in game 1 of the playoffs, and put Timo as an option. He'll fall right into that trap.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 03:30 PM) A tacky joke I saw on another board: Q: What is George W. Bush's position on Roe v. Wade? A: He really doesn't care how people get out of New Orleans

QUOTE(Reddy @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) it's MB without a doubt. Jon is new at this "being good" thing, and Freddy has been relatively inconsistant all season, whereas this is a new thing for MB. Mark has led our rotation for years, he should be the no. 1 be it opening day or the playoffs. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Game 1? I believe Contrares is scheduled to pitch tonight

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) Yep. That's exactly it in a nutshell. There are a lot of good members over there but I know there are here too. Thanks for the welcome. What you may also find is they change screen names when they get here and vice versa. What I always worry about is our new members get in a post with someone we've known to ignore, or we appreciate in spite of their flaws, and the new person stops visiting. In our desire to be open, we can sometimes chase away some people.

QUOTE(afacio @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) Gee, couldn't they just paddle them with their hockey sticks and be done with it? I like how you think, welcome to SL&P (Sex Lies & Politics)

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) This is a fine opportunity for my first post. As a long time member of WSI, I've come to disagree with some of the policies over there. The mood and the atmosphere over there are getting downright scary. I checked out this site and joined approx. 2 months ago. I've lurked ever since. About a month ago, I was suspended for a ridiculous disagreement with PHG over the usage of the phrase "big game". OK, whatever. Since then, I've continued to watch member after member get banned, and I've grown weary of it. I like what I've seen here and while at this time I'm not completely abandoning WSI, it's bound to happen. In the meantime....here I am. We have a lot of members with "dual" and "tri" memberships. We also allow people to actually mention the other boards by name. In fact we love comparisons, and don't hide. No personal attacks, no nudity, and you're fine. BTW, the toughest part is leaving behind other posters whose opinions and comments you enjoy. Eventually, you find most of those same personalities everywhere. Welcome aboard.

QUOTE(JuiceCruz16 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) There is a wider variety of opinions that are accepted here. The mods are a bit pompous & sensative at the other site. Overall it just shows that there are plenty of Sox fans out there so congrats Soxtalk on the sucsess. Yes we do have the finest mods and admins on the planet, Jason sprung for the deluxe mod package. We are taller and better looking than standard mods. We are also wittier, funnier, able to wield sarcasm with ease, bringing' the homeless blankets and dinner , we're regular Nobel Peace Prize Winners. Inside our heads may lay all the answers For curing' diseases from baldness to cancer, salt of the earth and real good dancers. As is easy to see, no pompous and sensitive mods here. BTW, if anyone doesn't agree, we're taking *** **** names and will ****ing ban you for 2 months.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) Im concerned that we scored 2 or less 42 times!!! [temp thread jack] Clemens has started 8 games in which Houston scored 0 runs. During those games, his ERA is 0.7 [/back to thread]

LOL But why is it everytime a white person is in a argument with a black person you hear a variation on "my best friend is black"?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 11:53 AM) Something else I read that was interesting was the effect that the hurricane was having on many nonprofit organizations that depend on donations for their exsistance. I guess many of them are suffering through huge drop offs in their funding because people are giving to the Hurricane relief funds. Groups like people in ministry, local food pantries, and churches are really suffering through monetary shortages right now. Here's some irony, my local Red Cross office is taking a pounding, first from tsunami relief, now from Katrina, all that money goes to national and then towards NO.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) Eh, she's a Twins' fan. But all of my friends are cool. I don't associate with unworthy people. Invite her to SL&P, and tell her to stay away from Pale Hose

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 11:45 AM) Bush takes responsibility for governmental failures Has that become a meaningless, hollow gesture in this world? People say the words, but there are no real repercussions. Not just politicians but people at work, etc.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) E-mailed it to a friend, and though her reply was worth posting: SoxyFriend: Um yeah. Interesting. Wow, could we emphasize stereotypes anymore? I think that the two should be combined. Everytime a footballer is spotted wearing Jimmy Choo shoes, you get 7 points. Gosh, I can't wait until I come up with a game that distracts people from the reality of their middle class American lives. Of course, what could I invent that would top religion? ChiSoxy get 10 points for having a really cool friend who should be posting here.
