Something to think about: In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled. And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14. So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast. God then said, "I ! have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof. God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is good." Satan then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food." God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds. Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds. God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest. God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. Then Satan created HMOs. Thought for the day ...... There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them. If you don't send this to five old friends right away there will be five fewer people laughing in the world

My High School colors were blue and gold, maybe I'll wear both.

Ross,

Plus I couldn't find too many different shots of those guys. I can see why there are a lot of head and shoulder shpts being used.

Here you go. Use it if you like. Let me know if you want any changes. .

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) That's wierd, I never have had that problem... You never stop posting Same thing with me. Sometimes I come back and I have to log in. It saves the screen name and password, so it's only an extra click.

I am trying so hard to keep my expectations low regarding the new episodes.

Certified would be the way to go. Leaving a message wouldn't help at all, they could claim they never received it. A better backup is to talk to a specific person and write who, what, why, when, about the conversation.

Respecting your stuff. My #1 is; don't mess with me while I am sleeping. Zero tolerance for any gags, jokes, etc. while I am sleeping.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 08:45 AM) I bout a 62cm TV for my room a couple of weeks ago, I have no idea what that is in inches probably about 30 I'd say. That's why the Aussies get all the American girls, they say they got 14 and it's in cm

Nice to see ncorgbl has a new act I've been waiting for him to resurface under yet another identity.

QUOTE(soxmalone21 @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 12:29 AM) Why would you need his email address? If Brooks signs up five of his friends, he can win a free plasma TV to watch all the games. or If Brooks forwards this email from Bil Gates, Gates will send $5 per email which could be used to sign free agents.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 07:24 AM) Per Fox News .... CBS News has approached Katie Couric to replace Dan Rather as their news anchor. This is about the only industry where you can start a rumor about a competitor. Imagine if Coke sent out a press release, we think Pepsi is thinking about . . .

Welcome to Monday. While rainy days and Mondays really get me down, my favorite Monday song comes from Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats

Graf would be a fan fav again. I always liked his attitude.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 16, 2005 -> 09:48 AM) You know what people? ... The American people picked the person they thought was the best man for the job of POTUS. Get over it. YASNY, Then what comments would be appropriate? Should we never criticize our elected officials? This was new, not bringing up something old that had been discussed before. The Iraqis had the right to say nice things about Hussein. We have the right to call every elected official to task is they do something we feel it wrong.

Did you know if you click on the number of replies in a thread, it will tell you how many replies each person who replied in the thread made.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) This is an outrage. I just learned that Bea Arthr does not have a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!! Steve Allen has 2 and Bea Arthur is shut out?? Winodj, you're in charge, let's get her a star!

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 04:52 PM) I'm having the same problem. I saw the old user record from the old SoxTalk was SHATTERED. It was 233 on the day of the Pods trade. It's 351 now. Hold the celebration, it was search bots pushing the total up. Southsider and Kap were busy on the case, determining why so many guests all were visiting from the same group of IP addresses.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) It is not 1950 anymore and institutional racism is long dead. Tell that to the 2001 MLB Manager of the Year who hasn't even gotten an interview. Yes, large corporations have been good at following the laws, but the greatest growth in jobs are in small business which are exempt from most requirements. Racism is alive and well in America. It's just in small business.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) The poll should read: What internet do you use? Dialup DSL Cable other The speed of the internet would control how fast each page loads and would help the decision on what size of limit to put on signatures. I'll start another one at SL&P

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) most.idiotic.movie.ever. I only lasted through the first 45 minutes or so and finally had to turn it off. I need to rent it again. Maybe I'll wit until it's free with my MVP membership.
