  1. The beauty was I could just cut and paste . . . I wonder if he'll be back to see it.
  2. mon·ster ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mnstr) n. An imaginary or legendary creature, such as a centaur or Harpy, that combines parts from various animal or human forms. A creature having a strange or frightening appearance. An animal, a plant, or other organism having structural defects or deformities. Pathology. A fetus or an infant that is grotesquely abnormal and usually not viable. A very large animal, plant, or object. One who inspires horror or disgust: a monster of selfishness. PA, this was just too easy.
  3. southsider, please clarify what you mean by universities graduate their athletes. From what I see and remember the university and the athletic program only contribute to the athlete not graduating. Scheduling of games and practices is tough on student-athletes but if the athlete does not avail himself or herself to the help that is available, it isn't the universities fault. To just pass the athlete along is wrong. The student athlete has to work harder than Joe Sixpack to graduate. Too many student athletes do not understand that and believe the are entitled to passing grades because they are averaging 18 ppg or have 8 sacks for the season. The other problem is some of these kids are in the university only because they have a nice jump shot or can run a decent 40.
  4. Huh? Brando I believe he IS agreeing with you, am I missing something here?

    Ehh...

    mental health? He was my #1 pick on the staff last year to pitch a big game. I wouldn't be worried about his mental game and only minor worries about his weight. He's going to chew innings, keep you in most ball games, and be a good club house guy. I'm trying to think of a rotation in MLB that he isn't in the top 3.
  6. Pardon me if I'm underwhelmed. I'm judging moves this offseason with the following thought "would that have been the missing piece for winning the division" and guess what? This isn't the piece. Why is it when we make a move somewhere in the guys bio is the phrase minimum salary? So far this off season our pitching has gotten worse. We may have a small gain at SS. We may have a very nice gain as manager. Sounds like seconmd place is stil ours. Whoop dee f***ing do
  7. Damn, when is Quayle coming out of retirement to challenge for this award? That would provide all the same chills as hearing And now, . . . from North Carolina . . . number 45 . . . (huh, 45? what happened to 23?)
  8. I thought it was the Cocaine Basketball Association Notice no Texas cities on the list. I guess it is all the concealed handguns Texans carry around.
  9. Should he have said lesbo? All too often it comes down to a policy that some board member introduces because a "concerened citizen" forces the issue. All these zero tolerance policies come to mind. I'll bet they inacted a long list words you can't say and gay was on there along with all the slurs we are use to calling PA and Southsider. Once that becomes the misguided stupid ass policy, teachers and administrators have to enforce the policy. I'll bet when the rule was being thought of they didn't ponder the reality that one of their students may have gay parents (they can't reproduce, can they?) We all know if this kid was in high school he buddies would have said cool! can we watch?
  10. Obviously a case of the cops out to get him Plus remember in the 1950's, 60's, and most of the 70's it was damn near impossible to get a DWI (we started calling them DUI around the mid 80's) . The cops would normally give you a ride home and issue a cheap ticket like improper lane usage.

    Christmas Tree

    Fake, but a very nice one. This year my kids did most of the set up. My wife has wonderful memories of her families' white tree on a turntable with a color wheel changing the color from red to green to blue. They only had one kind of ornaments, all solid color balls.
  12. http://www.snopes.com/travel/airline/airport.htm I was going to hijack Steff's thread on extradiction but thought this may make a nice thread all by itself. Basically the guy has been stuck for 10 years between countries. He can not leave the French airport.

    OT Question

    In Jackson's situation he has surrendered his passport. France would probably return him because he would be in the country illegally. Pulanski is a French citizen, he never denounced it. He is in France legally. By-the-way, true story. There is a guy living in a French airport because of immigration paperwork. Long story, I'll find a link.
  14. I bought mine at a billiards shop on Algonquin in Schaumburg. Most billiards shops carry the poker tables. Be certain to get the top that will cover the felt and you can use it as a side table or for other games.

    OT Question

    Be careful Steff. Extradiction treaties are not across the board. For example Many countries will not extradite their citizens if the death penalty is possible. They may also not extradite if the crime isn't a felony (for example). You may find out that France does not extradite for statutory rape but they may for a murder. Still others may insist any sentences will be done in their country first. Hope this helps and why bother with a low life like Pulanski? His victim always comes out and begs that society just drop it. She claims today it was consensual sex. I don't happen to believe it, but I respect her wishes.
  16. I wonder which of our kicked out "friends" this is. I believe the posts are the thing and could even live without the smileys, etc. (just don't take away my green) If you want style over substinance head over to the mlb boards
  17. Say what you will but if it was announced that Steinbrenner bought the White Sox you could hear me cheering from here. The bullpen was as much a factor in our "1st Loser" position as anything else. I'm hoping that this means the club has some justification that Koch, instead of Botch will be with us next season. I wasn't a huge Flash fan, but thought he was as good as it got for us.
  18. Are you sure you aren't a Cub fan? It's crap music because millions like it or by calling it crap you can adopt some cooler than thou. superioroty attitude? That's the same thinking that allows the Cubs to scalp tickets and put out a crap product while drawing 3 million and huge TV numbers. Now I need to get back to Placido Domingo in Madame Butterfly, the greatest performance in all the world. But you're taste in music sucks so bad you can't get opera.

    Freddy M

    I saw AC/Dc from the fronr row at the Horizon during thier Hells Bells tour and he was awesome. It was in the early days of wireless guitars and when he all of a sudden appeared in the middle of the crowd it was incredible.
  20. PA, finally giving up the rotatry phone. Go slow take it easy. Get to know your phone before "flipping it open". Develop a nice relationship then use and abuse.
