Texsox

It was an exciting game.

I just realized the team's slump cold be traced to the broom smiley? Perhaps we need to put that one away for a while? Baseball always seemed to be the one sport where superstitions are rampant. Don't mention a no-no, don't step on the foul line, rally caps, etc. Any other baseball superstitions y'all like?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 07:17 AM) Damn, now I really want to make the 1000 mile round trip to Dallas. Hey Kap, got a guest room? QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 07:40 AM) I was just thinking the same thing... Wow! I could be sharing a room with Steff.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 07:37 AM) McDowell would blow Brandon's way and he'd fall over. Are you saying Jack has bad breath?

Y'all think this is worse than Elvis Night? Don't kid yourself, if it put asses in the seats Veeck would have in a heartbeat. In fact, I could see him sporting a fake mullet. Tacky ballpark promotions are a staple of baseball. If we can't laugh at ourselves, we'd all be in trouble. Let me break out in song . . . Damn, I just realized the beach season is over in another month or two. I need to head west and sit on the beach with some BB&B* and contemplate the meaning of life. *Beer, Bikinis, and Buffet

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) Here's what a fight between Jack McDowell and BMac would look like. Sorry, being in Texas and all, it looked a lot like a Nolan Ryan v. Robin Ventura fight. Damn, now I really want to make the 1000 mile round trip to Dallas. Hey Kap, got a guest room? I think a Bmac start is just what the team needs.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 10:00 PM) Useless. Run 4 miles a day instead. I've been sitting there watching that video and eating hot dogs, no ketchup, for months and so far my ass just keeps getting bigger.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 06:59 PM) New Jersey - scrapple!! :puke :puke food, not word games . . .

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 09:58 PM) And a fat ass is better than a stupid ass. I've been working on my ass

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 09:55 PM) No, no, no... you must indicate you are making a joke so the tight asses around here don't have to jump on and off their horses so much. :rolly I'd rather be a tight ass than have a big ass I kid because I care™* ketchup on a hot dog eater *Used by permission.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 06:39 PM) If I may, allow me to add another turn to this discussion... What other areas of the country are known for specific foods? Off the top of my head, I can think of a few. Texas - chili Cincinnati - chili (I'm jonesing for some Skyline right now!) New York - pizza and Italian (maybe that is too broad) Philadelphia - cheesesteaks Memphis and Birmingham - BBQ others that fit specifically and aren't too broad? I'd have to put BBQ at the top of the Texas list, ahead of Chili. We Texans love our BBQ. Give us some pit smoked brisket, rice, beans, a couple slices of white bread, onion, pickle slices, jalapenos, and a sweet tea and man o man, we're one happy state. Most places will have you order at the counter and take it back to long picnic tables where you get to meet some old friends you never met before. The sauce is on the side, the meat is usually cooked over mesquite, but some places will do oak. I've done the Texas BBQ Trail

Timooooooooooooooooooooooo nice catch

Hawk complaining

researchers have discovered that people born befor WW2 have natural smells as their favorite childhood memories, and people born after WW2 start mentioning man made things like playdoh, new car, etc.

Back in the good old days during the 70's, eating one of everything on the McDonald's Menu was the challenge. I finally managed once. Talk about a terrible feeling for a couple days. With all the stuff they have now, it would be impossible.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) For some weird reason I always liked the smell of the hot air that came out of the back of our two piece giant ass vaccuum when I was a kid. Really odd but good smell. That and the smoke that came out of my train set I have to admit, I've never seen an ass vacuum, big or small . . .

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 04:16 PM) And due to lack of foresight, Greek was not one of the three languages chosen.

Couple of questions. Is it in our nation's best interest to be dependent on foreign oil and food? Is it smart to purchase a vehicle for the once a year vacation or the 99% regular miles?

OMG

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) I could never get a tatoo. I have enough trouble when I go to the doctors and have to give blood. I absolutely hate needles. I just have one tattoo, on my ass, I have EXIT ONLY in three languages

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:18 PM) We soooo need a nerd's catch all thread. Tex get to work! Have you looked around? All these threads are full of nerds. Hey FlaSoxxJim, how do fish and sea living mammals smell and why?

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) I can not stand people at the park, or anywhere for that matter, who say s*** to me when I put ketchup on my hot dog. Ya know what.. stfu and mind your own damn business.

After further review by the replay oifficial, the post has been reopened. But be careful out there. A 5 or 6 game winning streak would really make this site nice. We need a couple trolls to stop by so we can turn on a common enemy instead of feeding on ourselves.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 11:17 AM) I'm gonna drop my 2 cents in here. This Timo blowing Ozzie s*** is something I'd expect out of some 13 year old kids. It's offensive. It's insulting to the intelligence of Soxtalk posters and it's been going on for entirely too long. Why the hell don't some of you people grow up or, at the very least, challenge yourself to see if you can possibly come up with something new and halfway intelligent. And, for the record, I am not the only one who feels this way about pre-teen caliber s*** you are slinging around here. YAS, you are 100% correct. I can't believe just how sophomoric this thread got. There is a difference between venting, sharing opinions, debating, and being assholes. Several people have stepped over and are not having their best day. There are other Sox message boards for kids. Maybe a couple people here would be more comfortable there. I also suggest some people get acquainted with the ignore function. Works great when you have someone you cannot peacefully co-exist with.
