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.

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(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:49 PM) No, Miracle Whip is an abomination of nature. It also should have been the punchline to a Karnac The Magnificent bit, imo... Ed: What is Miracle Whip. 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.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) Is toothpaste really that much less expensive than a small package of spackle? Remind me never to move in after any of you. toothpaste is sooooo much easier. Plus no putty knife to buy.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) God i love a good bologna sandwich On Wonderbread with mustard. I also like to cut a little X shape into the middle so it fries fully in the pan. Man, I am so white trash with that

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(Punch and Judy Garland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 10:06 PM) Proud to be a Saluki this week! Is Halloween still huge?

Scarey to be evacuating and not knowing if your home will be there when you get back.

6 innings, no runs, no decision. This guy is having perhaps the greatest season of his career with no offense behind him. Wicked sick ERA. He should be threatening 25 wins, not 15.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 07:25 PM) All they want to sing ( and I use that term VERY freely ) about is abusing women, killing cops, dealing drugs and anything else thats wrong and depraved so when something like bad happens to them I consider it poetic justice. OMG, stop the presses, hell froze over, Nuke and I have agreed twice in one year
