America finally moves toward health and happiness for all

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 10:38 PM) Tex, I is next to O on the keyboard, and my arthritic fingers don't always hit the right keys. And sometimes when they DO, my dyslexic part takes over and transposes a few, usually making 'ing' into 'ign' or something like that. 'Fiorst' instead of 'first' is also a common one my crooked fingers make. Same here, foist ois one of my usua;l that I have to edit out.

Another days useless energy spent

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 01:52 PM) I would rather they spend all this time and energy into fixing the economy that healthcare. Especially because i fear their 'fix' for healthcare will f*** up the economy even more. or fix medicare first, show me you have some ideas that can work before asking me to trust you with a huge percentage of the nations economy. Too much waste inthe programs youhave, too much room for errors, too many opportunities for crooks. Fox something first. How exactly do you envision 400+ members of congress and 100 senators all work on one thing at one time? And I love the Fox something first I believe your Freudian Slip was showing

I'm a little surprised there wasn't more cheers for the cash, I know how many fans of cash there are on the board

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 02:42 PM) "Generally and historically teams do not want their best players at 2nd base.' You mean like the 2008 AL MVP Pedroia?! Get a clue. Make about 10,000 good posts before cranking up the snark. Personal insults are frowned on around here.

X again slows this down.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 06:17 AM) Everclear and Jager are possibly the two worst human innovations in the history of respectable drinking. yeah.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 09:02 AM) Ehh, not even close to as turbulent as the bears. For 7 years it was ventura, then carousel, then for quite a few years it was Crede. And each one a future hall of famer which was more to my point. Edit: I should have said consistency of quality in my earlier post. Sorry.

One thing, switching him to 2nd will allow the Sox long tradition of 3rd baseman to continue. There has been much consistency with 3rd on the Sox and QB for the Bears.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 03:41 AM) My manager keeps telling me he wants me to punch out whenever I go to the bathroom because he thinks I take too long. What he doesn't know is that while I'm on the toilet at work, I'm using my cell phone and visiting sites like Soxtalk. wait, did you post this while on the can? Thematically that could be post of the year worthy

This keeps getting better. I misheard the price, it was over $100 closer to $175 with shipping. Carved and painted wood seat and cover. Has a nice fishing motif, and he doesn't even fish. I keep asking him to take a pic and send it to me. She said she wanted him to sit and think about her and what he was losing and this would be the reminder. I said, if she had sent you some good porn with her, you'd really think about her, but my suggestion was probably not followed.

Very much a Numb3rs fan as well.

I'm not a smart man

Really enjoying Criminal Minds, Guinness, and a History book. I know I'm getting this confused

Perhaps in a couple hours I'll be posting in that other thread

I am looking over some US History materials and came across the Era of Good Feeling, the time right after the War of 1812. The term is new to me, I am wondering if I was day dreaming back then, or is this a new milestone being taught.

Now drinking Guinness and saving the bottles for some future home brew

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 04:45 PM) On a semi related note, how great is pooping at work? Something about literally being paid to defecate makes me feel like I've won. literally lol

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 05:49 PM) Please feel free....your hot arent you? wtf? Gage teach you to spell?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 02:38 PM) "Ok, girl, I'll go see your tyler perry movie, but first, I need you to open this box." Remember this is coming from a guy that went out with the guys to see AC/DC on a Friday Night at the Aragon Brawl Room and went to see Barry Manilow, THE Barry Manilow in Saturday night. Go and enjoy yourself, but let her know it is because you respect her, and want to meet her friends. But of the s*** that a relationship goes through, this ain't nothing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 09:01 AM) We are doing exactly that right now. The government is expanding at an enormous rate right now. It isn't a lower cost solution. Government jobs cost more than the private sector counterparts. But don't the people on public aid get like $50,000 a year, drive luxury cars, etc.? What I was thinking is the difference between their benefits and wages is the "cost".

Depends

The chance of Flowers needing to be taken out of a game seems rather remote and I could see a team risking a pitcher having to bat and only carrying two catchers.

What this really does his highlight the amazing flexibility that the Sox have. I can't think of a year where there are so many chances to upgrade, but not because the current roster sucks so bad, but because there are some players who are young enough, and athletic enough, to learn/go back, to a different position. Too made there wasn't also a similar financial freedom.
