QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) You know, I've been thinking about the question, and I think I may have a plausible answer in Jimmy Carter. For those too young to remember, carter was crucified for admitting that he had "lusted in his heart" for women other than his wife in a 1976 Playboy interview. I can concede that his Presidency left a lot to be desired, but the guy had integrity and pretty much did nothing more than admit to what we all know everybody does. It's simple human nature to have sexual fantasies. In the interview he even went as far as saying that he didn't consider himself any better than an actual adulterer because the sins were no different in the eyes of his God. It didn't save him from being publicly skewered however. So, basically, he admitted a wrongdoing (at least in the eyes to his God) that he didn't have to - and got a lot of grief for his trouble. Here's the Playboy synopsis: Damn you. I was just getting ready to post that. Carter has also done more for humanity and has been a greater ex-President thank anyone else.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) and Venezuela offers fuel, food to hurricane-hit US CARACAS (AFP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez offered to send food and fuel to the United States after the powerful Hurricane Katrina pummeled the US south, ravaging US crude production. The leftist leader, a frequent critic of the United States and a target himself of US disapproval, said Venezuela could send aid workers with drinking water, food and fuel to US communities hit by the hurricane. "We place at the disposition of the people of the United States in the event of shortages -- we have drinking water, food, we can provide fuel," Chavez told reporters. Chavez said fuel could be sent to the United States via a Citgo refinery that has not been affected by the hurricane. Citgo is owned by Venezuela's state-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA). In the Gulf of Mexico, which accounts for a quarter of total US oil output, 92 percent of crude and 83 percent of natural gas production were shut down due to Hurricane Katrina, which slammed Louisiana and Mississippi, according to US government data. Venezuela is the fourth-largest provider of oil to the United States, supplying some 1.5 million barrels a day. Last week, Chavez offered discount gasoline to poor Americans suffering from high oil prices and on Sunday offered free eye surgery for Americans without access to health care. I need his address to send a thank you note . . .

Nice major league spit there in the dugout. Good stream, no dribble. Remember, it's important to look the part.

Is Robbie Alomar staying in playing shape?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) 1st place is 1st place...I'll take it every time, especially when were talking about a 6 game lead. Doh, it is always better to be in first.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 06:20 PM) Especially when your stomach is full of Rolling Rock or Natural Light. Depending on whay you could afford in Carbondale. it was Bussssshh way back when . . .

Growing up in the 60s and 70s I remember being at at least one or two double headers every season. Both on the north and south sides. I came from a "mixed" family Now they seem to rare on the schedule that I wonder how many people have ever been to one. Sidenote, remember Wilbur Wood (below) pitching both ends of a twin bill?

QUOTE(mreye @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 08:28 AM) They need to do this...after his career is over. Who the hell wants a tribute while they're technically still playing? I wouldn't. Do we have wakes and funerals for people that are still alive? Stupid idea for this season, if you ask me. When did we retire Baines number?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 05:17 PM) LMAO. /going home to turn on the game right now... I'm running a little late. nice avatar, appropriate I kid because I care™* *Used by permission.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) The archaeology course sounds more interesting than the criminal justice course to me. I was thinking the same thing, especially that corner (center) of the globe. QUOTE(the southside tiger @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) Im looking at a career in law enforcement, and CLJ is my major, so its the better one in my opinion. And considering that I have a s***load of reading for Thursday in the arch class, and nothing yet in CLJ, its much better at the moment. So what do you think of University Professors?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 02:00 PM) Why didn't these people evacuate? No rental cars, no flights out, no public transportation, no money. The biggies. Being an idiot and trying for a Darwin Award was very low.

A.) To the idiots in the Ranger's organization who think McAllen, 750 miles away is part of their "local market" f*** You! B.) To the idiots at Time Warner who do not offer Ranger games here in the Rio Grande Valley, 750 miles south of Dallas, f*** You! C.) To the idiots at mlb.tv who have blocked me from today's games because of A and who don't care about B, f*** You! I cleared my schedule, stocked up on snacks and beverages, and patiently awaited BMac taking the mound with Garland as the opening act, and wham! I'm screwed.

I think President Bush will finally get us out, Peace with Honor or some crap like that. BTW, that's President Jeb Bush in like 2012.

One year I was I was hanging with a high school buddy who was attending SIU and his room mate Ruffus. Now Ruffus was missin' some toothus, and was scary as hell. My buddy is drunk and being a royal jerk, grabing girls. We're trying to get him to chill. Guys would turn to swing, see Ruffus, and back away. Lucky me, one time the guy didn't see Ruffus, and took a swing at me. He missed (thank God) then saw my buddy laughing. Ruffus looked at me, we both walked away, and my buddy was last seen running like the wind. The bands were usually pretty good, even the free ones. I remember turning into an alley way or dead end, and walking head first into the worlds loudest garage band. Two songs in and anyone that wasn't drunk was fleeing to save their hearing.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 06:49 AM) Correct. She's still allowing herself to be used as a patsy by the lefties. I don't see it as being a patsy as much as aligning herself with people who share her views. I believe it's called grassroots. The swifties weren't patsys in my book, even though they wound up with big money supporters. They had a message and used whatever vehicle was made available to get the message out, same as she is doing.

Sounds like Soxtalk is catching on Linkage Here And more, much more than this, at the link. And may I offer one of my five f*** Yous to y'all. :finger

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 07:24 AM) Different era, different methods, different technology, which costs money. Send all the troops over to fight the war the way wars used to be fought and it wouldn't cost nearly as much. But then you'd have a ton more troops killed. I'd rather spend the money, frankly. The Soviet empire crumbled under debt not bullets. Just sayin'

Saddest thing I have seen or heard in a long time. The reporter seems in tears also. Click 'You can't hold me, take care of the kids'

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 06:55 AM) No. Carbondale has pretty well put the clamps on that. It has been toned down dramatically. IIRC the last time I was there in late October was 1983 or 1984 and it was unbelievable. Not quite as crazy as Mardi Gras, but getting damn close.

I asked my family and they said Dennis Miller.

Excellent work. I've been seeing a lot of predictions that have A&M winning the Big 12 South. They have Texas in College Station this year. Should be a great season if A&M competes. Adds something to the usual Oklahoma vs. Texas rivalry. Since moving down here I've been following the Longhorns and loving UT football.

Damn damn damn, I get so few chances to see the Sox on real tv and I frickin' forget they are on. Just tuned in.

QUOTE(the southside tiger @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 06:26 PM) Screw you. Bob Seger is king. Gotta love that old time rock and roll
