Karnac: What do you call successful masturbation by a 90 year old man? LMAO. This is what a quality post is all about. Taking the time to even do the graphic for us old people that didn't recognize the names.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 05:49 PM) Remember, it's all about respect. Respect the newbies, allow them some slack, don't call them "stupid" for not knowing things, and everything will be fine. One other point that's important to note. This "suspension" policy goes into effect from now forward. We're not on a witch hunt, and our memories are gone of all past issues with current members. Let's not kick the dead horse here. After a bit, we should lock this thread, and if anyone has questions, they should contact one of the admin staff. Kap IMHO, we need the posters that have invested the most time, those with thousands and thousands of posts to lead the effort. Our newer members see stuff from veteran posters and adopt that feel, that style of posting. I know when I'm on a new site, I'm careful to read before posting and try to stay within the "unwritten rules" of the site. I especially notice the people with huge post counts and assume that is what is encouraged at that site. I've been PMing some of the biggest and brightest posters about this issue and to a person, they wish we could return to a time when everyone knew everyone, people really knew what we meant, not what we typed. We've grown too big for small town USA. Most will not know what we meant, they only know what is on their screens. And finally, one way to simmer things is to not quote. Reply with what you believe. The rest of us reading understand point-counter point and do not need, in many cases, the quoted material. It also stops some of the 1 v. 2 from starting. This is a once or twice a decade season, based on our history. I would like everyone to think back on this season and have Soxtalk be a positive part of the memory. It's easy for me, y'all are the only Sox fans I get to talk with.

Anything to take off egg stains from stucco? A friend had their house egged and the eggs have baked onto the stucco. Red white neutralizes white wine and vice versa. Toothpaste the holes in the wall when moving out of a dorm room.

QUOTE(el tigre @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) Well, acutally, in my second post ever at soxtalk, I have two questions. First, how do I change my name? I want it to be "the southside tiger" instead of "el tigre". Second, and this is kind of random, but how do I get superglue off my skin? I damn near glued my fingers together when decorating my dorm room. My RA suggested gasoline but Im not really that desperate yet. And message board people seem intelligent, so I figured I might as well throw this one out there. Thanks guys! Steff is correct as always regarding the super glue. LMAO at bold above. Stick around, you'll change your mind I'll make certain the name change happens, it takes an admin. Thank you for not registering and adding another point in the data bank.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) Just a thought... Isn't it illegal to not only photograph someone without their permission, but also to display over the internet without their permission? Or does their illegal activity cancel it out?...It made me think about those stories about people breaking in somewhere and injuring themselves and then suing the owner... Edit: I also remember hearing about laws being put in place to make it illegal to use camera phones in certain places. I wonder if any of that applies... If you are in a public place, you have no expectation of privacy. That allows companies to video tape, etc. Also, if you commit a crime, you also lose any rights along that way. Publishing brings into other issues, and different rights. What they could not do was use it for their financial gain. For example if you are at a bar and they film a commercial, they need a model release from everyone that appears in the commercial. If there is a crime at that same bar, or something newsworthy (fire, shooting, etc.) again, they can use your image.

'stros all the way. I've become a huge Clemens fan. They have the best pitching of the group and some great experience.

I was LMAO at the "middle of the day" as if it was later at night she would have thought, "hey he's masterbating in front of me, at least it's after 10 o'clock??

When a pervert exposed himself on a Manhattan subway last week, Thao Nguyen reached for her secret weapon - her camera phone. The quick-thinking 22-year-old snapped a shot of the smirking sicko, took it to cops and then posted it on the Internet. Word of her campaign to nail the flasher raced through cyberspace, and more than 45,000 people had viewed the photographic evidence by last night. "I just hope they catch him," Nguyen told the Daily News. "Maybe someone will recognize him. Maybe it will stop other people from doing it," she said. "Maybe other women will use their camera phones to stop crime." Nguyen's transformation from quiet Web developer to feisty crimefighter happened on an uptown R train the afternoon of Aug. 19. She was on her way back to work after a job interview when a middle-aged, blond-haired man dressed in a black shirt and jeans sat down across from her. "He kept staring at me," she said. "I could feel his eyes on me. I wanted to avoid eye contact so I looked away, but I could see his reflection in the window. "I saw him massaging himself and then he unzipped and pulled it out. I thought, 'I can't believe he's doing this in the middle of the day!' " The subway car was mostly empty and Nguyen felt nervous, so she pulled out her Samsung P777 cell phone, equipped with a 1.3 megapixel digital phone. "I turned on the camera," she said. "He was still masturbating. I aimed it and quickly took the shot. As soon as I took it, he zipped up and got off the train." Nguyen said she was disgusted by the incident and immediately reported it to a police officer at the 34th St. station. The next day she filled out an official complaint, and the following day a detective had her look at hundreds of photos of ex-cons. None of them was the culprit, but Nguyen wasn't about to give up. She posted the degenerate's photo on the Web sites Flickr and Craigslist, and bloggers began linking to her site. Her photo and story drew a few juvenile snickers, but most of the comments have been positive. One Netizen wrote: "You go, girl!" Another commented, "I hope his mom sees it." The NYPD, which confirmed Nguyen had filed a complaint, also was impressed. "It's great she took the picture; it'll help with the investigation," said NYPD Detective Kevin Czartoryski, who warned that a woman should be careful if the flasher sees her taking the picture. "If it can be done in a safe manner, it'd be helpful to locate the suspect," said Czartoryski, a NYPD spokesman. "Common sense should be used when deciding if a picture can be taken." Nguyen isn't the first straphanger to use her cell phone to catch a criminal. In May, two Catholic schoolgirls took a photo of a man en flagrante on the F train and showed it to a cop, who nabbed the pervert. Nguyen said even if her tormentor isn't caught - and charged with public lewdness, a misdemeanor that carries up to three months in jail - she's glad she took action. "He made me feel creepy," she said. "I want to embarrass him." If you recognize the man in the picture, call the Daily News at (212) 210-1574 and let us know. Originally published on August 26, 2005

Anything to score points against the President. :rolly Actually I thought they were idiots that actually cared if a soldier was killed. Silly liberals, with so many soldiers being conservative, sending them off to war seems like a great way to win elections. So much easier being a conservative in times of war. Just wave an American flag and blindly accept whatever Washington tells you. Yippee! More leftist dribble
