The Finer Things In Life
QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 7, 2010 -> 10:55 AM) This sounds like a veritable holiday in a cup!! Once I get through the pumpkin and cider holiday drinkies ginger must be next on the list. I am not certain if a better oe could be made or purchased but the Monin syrup seems to work fine except you have to tame the super sweet profile.

The Finer Things In Life
Wound up with this . . . Equal parts eggnog, gingerbread syrup, vodka, and amaretto shaken with ice and strained into a martini class with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon. On the second batch I held back slightly on the vodka and upped the amaretto and eggnog to compensate.

Fishing Thread
QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 11:05 PM) Ever power line for coho in the spring? Or drinking a lot of beer and seine nets for smelt along the lake front. Those were some crazy parties.

Fishing Thread
QUOTE (SAVVY18 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) When I can get out, I'm primarily a Musky guy now. I have a 1995 16ft aluminum Spectrum fishing boat with a 40hp Force on it. My home lake is the Fox Chain. I grew up as a Bass kid/guy, but outgrew that when I got my first Musky. Been targeting them ever since. Not much luck, but it's about the hunt and being on the water. I used to fish Lake Michigan with my wife's uncle, but he had a stroke and the boat hasn't been in since. We're hoping he gets it in next year. Biggest out there was a 25Lb Salmon and a 17lb Lake Trout. I had another 25# Salmon to the net, but my net man screwed it up and we lost her. What a fight. I would like to take a trip to Northern Wisco, but never get around to it. Too much going on, I guess. I'll take the kids out to the local lakes/ponds and cast for Bass. Musky were just getting to legal size when I moved. I would launch out off of Grass Lake Road at Smitty's I think it was. Some great back bays and channels for bass on the way north for some musky action. My favorite musky, and the smallest I ever caught, was off Pistakee Lake while crappie fishing in the spring just after ice out. With two pound test and an ultralight 5' road, I landed a five pound musky. I was laughing the whole time. Anyone know if Angler's Unlimited is still running tournaments on the chain? My buddy Jim Woj and I fished a bunch of theirs. And the Channel Lake ice fishing tournaments.

AJ's "intangibles"
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 5, 2010 -> 02:04 PM) Or for those who think the money can be spent elsewhere on better production. I forgot, it's like the money that was saved to get a DH this past season. When we never truly know the bottom line, it's all a guess. Maybe the difference between AJ and no Aj is the difference between a $20 mil profit or a $10 mil profit. And I'm really not that interested.

Two US Bound Packages Contained Explosives
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 5, 2010 -> 05:04 PM) Oh, I don't know if others missed this since the U.S. refused to confirm it, but a high-level official in France came forwards and said that one of the bombs was 17 minutes away from detonation when it was disarmed. Big deal, most bombs aren't defused until seconds before detonating, don't you watch TV?

The Finer Things In Life
ALright, anyone want to help me with some ratios? I am thinking of a Eggnog Vodka Whipped cream Monin Gingerbread syrup I also have available Kahlua, Godiva white chocolate liquor, ameretto, cream, half and half. Outback is serving the Gingerbread martini that follows and I have no Bailey's or whisky in the house. She who must be kept happy enjoyed it and I'm trying to mix up something similar. We are knocking back a couple bloody mary's right now so I may need to only get close. 1 ounce Ketel One vodka 1 ounce Baileys Irish Cream liqueur 1/2 ounce Kahlúa liqueur 1/2 ounce Monin gingerbread syrup 1/2 scoop vanilla ice cream — semi-melted Whipped cream Gingerbread cookie

The next 2, 4, 8 years
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 5, 2010 -> 08:06 AM) People also need to remember that the British had a pretty solid level of support in the colonies. It wasn't overwhelming or anything, but enough people feared their reprisals at the very least, that they didn't support revolution. It was a Civil War in a couple different ways. Both versus the British and domestically. At any time allegiances fell with who was winning at the moment.

Flowers instead of AJ next season is a major enhancement for those people who care more about the Sox making money than winning games.

Yankees asked for permission to talk to Coop
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 4, 2010 -> 05:09 PM) I know Cooper is a NY native, but why on Earth would the Sox ever consider this? Because if you develop a reputation as an organization that blocks their employees, it sends a bad message. Of course it could also be said that by saying sure talk to him, they may be sending a terrible message to Coop. Each situation is different. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 5, 2010 -> 08:49 AM) Who in the hell buys tickets because of the manager? Ozzier attracts attention to the team. People start talking about the team instead of something else, all that buzz sells tickets.

AJ's "intangibles"
QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 3, 2010 -> 10:08 PM) Emotion has nothing to do with baseball. QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 4, 2010 -> 12:51 PM) Emotion has absolutely zero to do with effective on field performance in baseball. In fact, it's a detriment to hitting, pitching and fielding. QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 4, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) What I said was emotion doesn't help you (effective performance). It hurts your performance. (dertrimental). If it hurts you, than emotion has something to do with performance. Something is not "absolutely zero", hence the contradiction. You said emotion has nothing to do with baseball, it seems you meant emotion has something to do with hurting performance, but it doesn't help performance. But even detrimental is an affect. Are you suggesting that it doesn't matter if a player heads to the plate feeling confident or feeling defeated? That watching three teammates in a row crush pitches doesn't send him to the plate with a better chance of getting a hit? Everything humans do are affected by their emotions, controlling those emotions, good and bad, is a big part of managing a team and performing.

The framers of the Constitution created a method to change it and did as it was being ratified. What more has to be said about their thoughts on it being a permanent document?

The next 2, 4, 8 years
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 4, 2010 -> 08:59 AM) I agree they shouldn't be deified, but their opinions, arguments and debates are absolutely relevant in today's world. They're all ideas we still struggle with today. And IMO it's kind of an insult to say they were the Obama/Bush's of today. I think they (maybe not all, but most) were much, much, much more than that. I mean, think about it. What prominent lawyer/politician in today's time would volunteer to represent terrorists in court (Adams). What politician/military leader would be given the keys to the entire country, with endless power and authority, and simply give it up (Washington). Etc. etc. These dudes were much more than your average joe politicians. They were complex people. What leader of today could spend twenty years in France, drinking and partying while his wife and kids are back in the US? I'll only mention slavery. Could the American public have accepted a closed Constitutional Convention?
