I grew up in PF Flyers and Chuck Taylors. Now that Chucks ar back in style, my son won't let me buy them because he's wearing them. Damn kid stealing all the things that were cool when I was a kid. Why can't he rebel and piss me off like a normal teenager?

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) I understand that MENSA people do many things, but no cool Mensa member would flaunt membership. I think in the context of the lab partner of doom, it's more about being better and smarter than everyone else than anything else. Inherently there's nothing elitist about it, until you get people being jerks about how smart they are.... Exactly. Being smart is grossly over rated. Look at Dubya, Billy Gates, etc.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) i applaud them for this. when's the last time you heard any company recalling something that may be defective before the lawsuits and claims start rolling in? One that is already in bankruptcy and faced lawsuits and awards from new stuff. This way it can all be covered and then they emerge from the bankruptcy all fresh and clean. half empty, curmudgeon here

That Pink Floyd soundtrack from Wizard of Oz The Dark Side of OZ we need a smoking a joint smiley* *Having never tried it, I have been told by knowledgeable sources that the Pink Floyd reference is even funner when stoned.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) My friggin labmate/office partner is going on and on and on about how she's going to join MENSA. Hey good for you! Maybe you'll learn to be less socially inept--oh, wait, no probably not. Woohoo, that's great. More boring, crappy, pointless and condescending conversations about how smart you are. Sweeeeeeeeeet. I can't frigging wait. Days like this make me really, really, really miss my normal and socially competent college and high school friends. BTW, MENSA members come from all walks of life. Some are actually socially adept and not afraid of the world. The geeks talk about how smart they are.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 09:27 AM) Geesh, I guess I understand the phone sex thing to a degree, I mean, we all like to be talked dirty to once in awhile (sorry if this is too much info...but admit it dammit), but to be TYPED to??? That just seems silly, and I can see why people would goof around with them like that bloodninja guy does. The 'net just opened up a whole new world of funky fetishes, didn't it???

So many gems, so little time.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 07:44 AM) He's a larger more obnoxious version.. cooler...I dunno. Was Jerry "darker" than dusty.. ? Zinggggggggggggg-o!

I would like to add, that each month our quote of the month thread includes gems equal to and surpassing these. I am still laughing at LosMediasBlancas quote about get a blanket and popcorn, I think the weird neighbor boy is finally going to drill the dog.

Singing along with Nancy brings back sooooo many great Sox memories.

Not only do I burn flags, but I teach little kids how to do it. If this passes, how are we suppose to dispose of old flags? If we are talking about the symbolic need for people who hate this country or things this country are doing, well that destroys our very foundation. Our country will collapse if someone would burn the flag in protest. While we are banning flag burning because we do not agree with that expression, let's also ban the liberal media because we do not agree with them. Let's legislate all thoughts and actions until we have the perfect democracy. Nuke, let's keep score. Innocent until proven guilty -- out the window. First Amendment -- out the window.

Oops. That's not good. One bad supplier and a company is basically screwed. That's the problem when you are on the leading edge of technology. Sometimes it is the bleeding edge of technology.

Poor Busty We have to take our wins where we can and if we have one teflon personality, yeah! for us. Their stadium is teflon, their lovable loser image is teflon, they have Cy Young Pitchers top to bottom, and a manager who is taken to task.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 03:07 AM) You have to give us Sox fans a break on that particular issue. Most of us are from the Chicago area and in that area, somebody that roots for "another team" is generally, an idiot. Hell around here if you don't know how to root for the White Sox you are an idiot.

If you have a really cool, kick ass anchor and the other guy has a spiffy, but cheap life preserver, would you trade if your boat was going down and his was drifting? Same thing here. I think Kenny over paid a bit, but there was a vision and he probably needed to to fill the exact roles.

QUOTE(moochpuppy @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) Tony LaRussa Chuck Tanner Al Lopez Kid Gleason Pants Rowland At this point I'll say Gene Lamont is still a better manager. ^^^^^^^^^^ When Oz can figure out what a bull pen is for, he may crack the top 10. There were so many people saying that about Jerry Manuel in the early part of this century.

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 02:28 AM) ah thats great the best part is Widger is 2 on catchers LMAO at that one. That's why I believe all internet polls are accurate and fair.

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 02:33 AM) Soxtalk rules i just wish there was Packtalk.com As in pack your bags and get out Start one. All it takes is dad's credit card and a few friends. Plenty of pack fans here
