Lawsuit claims shy bladder got man fired

The rest, of the story

A split would be a split, and a very nice result. I really wish we didn't pound out 15 runs yesterday, it seems like it always takes a team 2 or 3 games to recover and score more than 2.

Beats a drunk teenager in an Austin bar . . .

Seems there was a door to door salesman of specialty toilet seats who developed a toilet seat that played the Star Spangled Banner when ever someone sat down. Sales were very good and it seemed that everyone loved the seat. One day he arrived at Nuke_Cleveland's house and sold him one of these toilet seats. About a week later he gets a call from a very pissed off Nuke who wants to return the toilet seat. Nuke starts complaining that he is constipated and hasn't taken a crap since the toilet seat was installed. The salesman cannot understand how a toilet seat would cause Nuke to be so constipated and asked him why. Nuke replied "every time I sit down I hear the start of the Star Spangled Banner so I stand up and salute"

I know first time pitchers usually shot us out, but do first time batters also crush us? I need something else to keep me awake at night.

Couple interesting tidbits you missed Haliburton will be catering the event for US$6,200,000 Bush will be signed in for every event. Saddam will be on display along with a Bin Laden look alike contest, highlighting why it is so difficult to find him and arrest him.

Buiried at the end of lastnight's game coverage. Sun Times

Even easier in Texas. BTW, Mexico bans firearms. Get cought, go to jail for a long time. For my Illinois FOID I took the scariest picture imaginable and sent it in. Remember the crazed hunter character that Johnny Carson did? The wide open eyes, flannel shirt, etc? I dressed like that, looked like Manson, and received my card in 2 weeks.

so maneuvering a bat, stick, football, etc. makes it a sport, but not manuevering a horse? Seems like working with a living breathing animal takes more effort. I know the effort involved in controlling a horse.

This is joeynach's first post on Soxtalk. He's going to fit right in I think. The post was in Photo Album and How Does That Work? Hot Chicks Thread still lives on

Did you go to the Soxtalk store and get the magic decoder ring for the really hot photos? Click on the store link just below the banner.

I watched and could tell what they were doing, it was all a blurr. I did have fun listening to the scanner and the communication between the driver and crew. To those that claim NASCAR isn't a sport, how about Horse Racing? Is the jockey an athlete?

The best essay I have read on this was from a lesbian who suggests that the government should only recognize civil unions of two people. Let people, who so choose, get married by clergy and in their faith, but the government would only recognize the civil union, not the religous union.

Like the ultimate Country Western Song, I though I would take a stab at the ultimate soxtalk thread . . . I think Koch's effort to maintain the lead that Buerhle built while Valentin was benched for the final five miles of the NASCAR 500 at Gaza Strip was phenominal. Despite suicide bombers, attack helicopters, and chants of this is not a sport, he maintained his composure and won the damn thing. Here's the delivery person for his trophy

How do you know, during the race, that they just adjusted the suspension or whatever they do? Are there secret hand signals that only fans know?

My favorite Dikta moment was during his first season he was living near 45 and 120 and ordered a bunch of pizzas from Pat's Pizza in Grayslake where I was delivery boy. A bunch of players and coaches were over. They tried to pay in autographs and I told Dikta the only autograph I wanted was one on his check The other guys cracked up and tipped me $50 for busting his stones. My favorite Diana Dikta story was when she tried joining a couple Country Clubs and was denied unless Mike was the primary. She started a group called Wives or Regular Members (WORMs) and finally joined a club near Crystal Lake (Bull Valley?)

And that is one of the challenges facing the sport. How does the casual fan know what adjustments are being made?

I have it on the double live, and it needs to be seen to enjoy. I thought Burn Down the Mission sucked until I saw it live at Poplar Creek. Damn that is such a cool song.

Still I was a very wee lad when the Hawks won the Stanley Cup. I would like to actually remember it.

That was true about NASCAR up until 10 years ago. No matter what you think about NASCAR's brand of racing, they have done a tremendous job in broadening their fan base from the confederate flag waving, straw hat wearing, chewin' tabacco crowd. IIRC, it is the fastest growing TV sport the past 5 or 6 years and the only one whose TV rights are actually increasing in value. Sport or not, it is very popular.

Now I know we'll get him, but only if the Royals are 10 back and going no where by the end of next month.

I love Family Guy. Lately that and Whose Line is it Anyways have been cracking me up. Last week they had the Richard Simmons episode of Whose LIne and I almost peed my pants.

Damn I just got that :headshake :finger
