QUOTE(S720 @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 09:52 AM) Where the hell are Bruce Levine and George Offman???? Come one and make the news official!!! I'd rather hear it from Kenny or JR or Southsider, because if Southsider says it, it must be true

Another runner on the base paths. With Pods, Tad, and Konerko, burning up the paths, it's going to be a whole different look around the ballpark. I feel bad for the fireworks vendor, their orders may be cut in half next season.

Is it too late to pick? It's Monday morning, I'm picking Pittriots

I hate coffee pots. I just replaced my old one because the brew hold, pour and go, whatever function would fail and water, coffee, and grounds would spill all over my counter. The new one, a different design and manufacturer, is doing the same &^$$*( thing. Who loves their coffee maker? What brand, model?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 23, 2005 -> 11:10 PM) Oh PLEASE.... 17 snowflakes and your entire state shuts down..... :headshake Yes, sir and damn proud of it. Our first White Christmas in recorded history and out local paper produced an eight page special section with photos and weather service screen shots. 104 degrees, and your state opens up shelters.

From the Tigers-White Sox Fight thread and the repeated pleas for someone to have the video, came 3E8 to the rescue QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 23, 2005 -> 09:48 PM) I wasn't able to find any video of the fight, but I did manage to find some still footage.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 06:49 AM) Let's see here ... The US keeps falling farther and farther behind European and Asian nations in quality of education and our students feel they're entitled to a homework free summer. This is more of an indictment of our national priorities than it is a slap at you guys. That's all you guys know. It's not your fault. One day, our failure to get, and expect, the maximum performance from our youth is going to come back to haunt us. YASNY, I agree with the summer reading program stuff, but the science, math, and other subjects I have a problem with. If the program is going to really work, the teachers have to be available as well. Whether it is once a week, via email, via phone, or whatever, the rest of the puzzle needs to be there as well.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahah :finger I'm shoveling sunshine

DJ, I've been playing, you like this better?

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jan 23, 2005 -> 05:14 PM) It's an honors class, so he should expect more homework out of it. Sure, it's stupid to give out homework in the summer, but suing just because of homework is not very smart either. Maybe it was for his Citizenship in the Nation class

Philly, they aren't good enough to lose again.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 23, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) No one said it was going to happen or to even believe it. That's why I included the word "RUMOR" in the subject of the thread. Well it didn't seem to be on the Twinds board, or the Astros board, which board did you read it on? What I was pointing out is how these rumors start to seem valid just because it's on a few boards.

How dead is he? Sorry, couldn't resist. RIP and prayers for his family.

Now add another message board that someone heard the rumor and people are talking about it. . . It must be even closer to the truth with all these message boards talking about it. Notice the pattern. Just because a lot of message boards are talking about it doesn't mean squat. Find the root, find someone even close to official, before starting to believe it.

The only way we see post season play is with a couple players surprising us. It would be awesome if Carl had a great season.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 22, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) Real cute. While it is over the top, the example does highlight a challenge we have in witting our laws. The fact is that politicians like to have coattails to hide some legislation and use someones objection to part A of a bill as an objection about part B. We also like laws that actually do what they are designed to do, nothing more and nothing less. We write tough anti-terrorism legislation, then prosecute a guy in his backyard with a laser pointer. We write tough anti-mob laws (RICO) and use it to prosecute anything and everything. I want some group as a watchdog to make certain our legal system is doing what we want it to do, nothing more and nothing less. Competition hones talents and makes most things efficient. Politicians cannot be sloppy in writing laws that the legal profession could exploit against us for unintended reasons. A better example I just thought of. I will sponsor a Safe Kid Legislation making it illegal for child pornography and possessing a handgun within firing range of anyone under 18 years of age. When the NRA objects, we'll label them as anti-kid and pro-child pornography. Further, I will define child pornography as any photo of a child that could elicit strong physical or emotional responses.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 22, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) Thank you. I'll probably get hooked on playing with photoshop and have a new sig every week or so. lol It is fun to play with.

Very Nice. I am working on an opening day sig

QUOTE(Mr. Zero @ Jan 22, 2005 -> 03:09 AM) What kind of moron assigns homework over the summer? :banghead It's becoming the norm. Almost every English Lit course requires a novel be read over the summer. That I can kind of understand, yet it puts transfer students at a disadvantage. Calculus homework and some of the other core subjects really suck with this. No one to help if a kid gets stuck.

Great Map Site. Better than Mapquest or Yahoo

Here's the quandary I feel in our society and my Christian views. I do not want other religion's practices, creed, traditions, crammed down my or my child's throat at school, at a basketball game, or while visiting a National Park. To assure that doesn't happen, I must also respect the rights of others to not have my religious practices crammed down theirs. That in my best opinion is ACLU's position, and in our society, that seems appropriate to me. To say they are trying to destroy Christianity is a distortion. Destroying Christianity would involve closing Churches, tearing down symbols on private property, passing laws making it illegal to practice. Nuke has been in countries where the government and private citizens do seek to destroy Christianity. I am certain he would be willing to share some stories of what he saw in the middle east and agree what the ACLU is doing wouldn't destroy the practicing of Christianity, just place it squarely in the private arena. Further, without winning their cases, based on US Laws and procedures, nothing would happen besides a few donors wasting their money. The fact that they win these cases reflects our society's current views on religion. Can we expect less when most people are not outraged by Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" or the Howard Stern show? I have also seen where ACLU's attention has increased the outward appearance of Christianity. Wauconda's nativity scene and cross was removed from the city hall back in the late 80s or early 90s. Last time I was in Wauconda, hundreds of residents had erected hundreds of crosses on their property. Score one for the big Guy. From one of the town square, to hundreds on roofs, in backyards, and hopefully in their hearts.

I feel like such an idiot, I thought he was playing in the NBA

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 08:38 PM) I know of a REAL hot mom. Luckily I'm also married to her. sorry...dorky...I know... Most every adjective I was going to use would get me suspended I'm kidding. It's nice to know that someone's wife is intersted in what he posts.
