While I am not perfectly aligned philosophically with Bush's picks, for the most part I believe he has done a very fine job of selecting people. Kerik was a misstep, he corrected quickly, and moved on. I have always been of the opinion that the hearings should be based on character, citizenship, and integrity, not philosophy and politics. Once the President is selected, the default should be he gets his person and has to live with that selection. I prefer a diplomatic Sect'y of State over a war hawk, but I'm a moderate.

Mid-season hype, late season fade when the contenders start playing. The NBA is a long season and it's just starting to get geared up. This still feels like pre-season to me.

Maggs we can either A] drill a hole in your femur to help drain the blood that's collected in there, or b] play some subsonic "noise" at it and hope for the best. I would have charged him less to sit on my subwoofer crankin out some Jay-Z "sub-sonic noise" is what is used to break up kidney stones and perform other non-invasive procedures. Maggs lost this battle and only time will tell if he wins the war. He risked playing out his contract and lost.

LMAO Southsider rules the day The set up in Pale Hose regarding the guy who was wearing a "screen-name tag" at Soxfest and had water thrown on him. The kid later explained others were wearing "screen-name" tags with their post counts. From Southsider2k5 comes this gem

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 08:54 AM) LMFAO! Nametags? With post totals? Why didn't they just list their penis sizes? There would have been plenty of room on the tags from the sounds of it. OMG LMAO

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 08:37 AM) The line where he said he would be killing noob's all day just to take his rank from #3 to #1 had me laughing almost out of my chair. But yes, the ending wasn't really needed, you could think of so many better alternate endings. My son showed me that, I showed him the thread at MLB about the guy with his screen name tag at Soxfest who had water thrown on him. By the time we finished reading, we were falling off our chairs laughing.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 07:32 AM) It was funny until the end. Then it just became sad. :headshake When I had posted it originally I had to stop the animation about 3/4 through. Later I watched the whole thing and wish they hadn't of added that last scene. I guess there is some social commentary about video games and violence, but :headshake . 90% is funny s***. Especially if you have played any of the on-line games. I swear that describes 1/2 the guys.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 08:28 AM) Instead of having all separate areas for fantasy football, baseball, basketball, and random threads for Madden and MVP leagues, we put together one area for all of this. It is still in the Contest board, but the subforum will cover all fantasy sports, video game leagues and SIM leagues. Enjoy! I love it when you tidy up a bit.

Now that I have done a couple sigs, I am convinced even more, you are a graphics genius. Any chance of you creating a sig before our eyes? Possibly post step by step how and why you are doing each step? I am certain we would have a volunteer come up from the audience.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 07:40 AM) You know Kenny G is very popular in China, very, very popular. Believe me I know from 1st hand experience. It's gotta be the hair :headshake

Let me know what you think

What size is required to upload?

From reading the posts, the person comes off as a 12-14 year old, slightly retarded kid. My hunch is that role is being played by a smart, funny, guy in his 20s. Later he and some others mentioned they also added their post counts

Would it be hourly pay or a stipend for the season? Would Mel Kiper have a list of the best pay checks for student athletes? Would players be required to attend classes? Could the University offer payments or a scholarship not always both?

http://pwned.nl/ Turn down the sound around the kiddies and at work.

That thread is still going and it is funny. I was thinking "insider" there sounds a lot like "soxfeelgoodonmyfeet" here. It has got to be the same kid.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 19, 2005 -> 06:19 PM) I don't know if you are serious or not, but I think this is a great idea. Why should an institution of higher learning exploit athletes for a purpose that has nothing to do with higher learning. Do you think anyone would know who Miami, Nebraska, Florida State etc were if it wasn't for football? Are the players going there for the education? Hell no. Should there be a salary cap, some sort of a revenue sharing to keep a level playing field? Should each conference have a different plan? Should players be guaranteed 4 year contracts or year by year? Would the money be limited like the number of scholarships?

QUOTE(Hall of Famer @ Jan 19, 2005 -> 05:51 PM) Ahh, you can never have enough poor, slow defensive rightfielders. Right field race? Forget the stop watch, being a calendar. It looks like a couple guys are going to be logging some serious sub time if things do not change. Like most teams, we are thin in spots. A couple injuries and it's 2004 Part 2
