    Phone Protection

    I put mine in an Otterbox when I left on a two month camping trip the past summer and haven't taken it out. It's the first time I've used a case.

    Phone Protection

    As phones get more expensive I'm wondering if there is a trend in more cases?
  3. If only we paired him with AJ . . .
  4. AJ should have signed with the Bo Sox at any price they offered him. It is that good of a fit, and perfect for both. If the ChiSox (to avoid confusion) were even close to contending this would be a bad thing. I'd be happy to see AJ get another WS win.
  5. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 09:37 AM) Enjoy Boston AJ. He's a white guy, they'll love him
  6. I am a big AJ fan and I believe it is valuable to have a veteran catcher on a contending squad. I just don't see a big benefit for AJ or the White Sox in him rejoining the team. AJ should be looking for as close to a contender as he can get. I'd rather keep what we've got and hope with time and coaching better things happen. Using a roster spot on AJ with the hopes of maybe being .500 is crazy.
  7. Like they say, only criminals will have guns. Good thing that we are tough on criminals.
  8. The hard drive on my HP laptop seems to be going out. I'm hoping it hangs on long enough for the new drive to arrive on Tuesday. I haven't swapped out a drive on a laptop before, this should be fun. With Dropbox, Google Drive, and Evernote all of my documents and stuff are already backed up and safe. Also T-Mo rolled out 4.3 for my Galaxy 4 so I've had a busy techno-Thanksgiving.
  9. Nice to be Japan. You get to play chicken with American lives.
  10. If Japan and China start shooting each other are we obligated to fight China?

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Thanksgiving around the soxtalk table. It would be as dysfunctional as most family gatherings and as warm and wonderful as most family gatherings.

    JFK Assasination

    yep, people get close to the truth and they are killed. They do not have to be eye witnesses, they just have to get close.

    JFK Assasination

    I find it interesting that Microsoft Word, and a couple other spell check programs, wants to change Dealey Plaza to Daley Plaza. I guess the former Chicago mayor Richard Daley is better known than the site of a presidential assassination.

    JFK Assasination

    QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 03:48 PM) Also interesting... of the witnesses at the scene who were interviewed, 81% of them heard 3 shots. The next most common answer? 2 shots, at 12%. 4 or more shots were heard by only 5% of witnesses. I agree, but notice how the conspiracy people use a simple fact and bend it to their needs: That's part of the conspiracy, the government hid or killed witnesses who disagreed.
  15. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 01:38 PM) If I declare your yard to be mine, and then you walk through it, are you pushing a confrontation? QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 01:58 PM) We never claimed the yard as ours. Either way, whether it is necessary or not, it is a tough call to challenge them. Remember, China hasn't said it is a no fly zone, they just want planes to ID themselves to them. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 02:05 PM) Japan does claim it. QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 27, 2013 -> 09:30 AM) Yes, they do. We don't. To clarify.
  16. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 02:05 PM) Japan does claim it. Yes, they do. We don't.

  18. Seems like we were pushing a confrontation. It's stuff like this that must keep a president up at night.

    JFK Assasination

    Has anyone played the video game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFK:_Reloaded ? basically you have the chance to recreate Oswald's shots.

    JFK Assasination

    QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 07:36 PM) He was a sharpshooter in the marines. But not a very good one. One of the unusual, not not unique, aspects to Oswald's life was being able to move to Russia then return without much trouble.
  21. I placed this in SL&M as a way to keep the discussion generic to all things, not just a specific sport. Whenever the discussion becomes who is the greatest __________ , it seems that the first hurdle is the length of a career. Too short and the body of work isn't there, yest if you enjoy a very long career, your stats become discounted. Make one or two great movies may not be enough, but make 30 nearly great ones, maybe not enough either. Have three or four great seasons in a 10 year career versus a 30 year career almost seems better. So where is the balance? What does it take to be the greatest actor of all time? Greatest accountant? Greatest doctor? Baseball player? How do we define "Greatest of all-time"?
  22. Bottom line the party that allows SS to crash is destroyed. If both do, they will all be out, It is the one sacred program that all Americans want. There is no Dems and Reps when it's time to deposit those checks.
  23. QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 11:23 AM) And I'm just supposed to hope and pray it exists 40 years from now and NOT take a health care credit because of that? That's a hell of a lot of faith to put in our clearly dysfunctional government. Which political party will allow the program to die and basically destroy the elderly?

    I was really surprised that they continued to use the car.
