QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 10:44 AM) So why is it that there is no spare capacity anywhere? What are you basing that on? I see spare capacity all over the place. One easy thing, how many Doctors are advertising? Why advertise if you have no capacity? Also, if there is money to fund expansion, don't you think companies will expand? Another idea, since we are making some major changes, let's build into a new system more P.A.s and R.N. care clinics. There will be a growth curve, and some growing pains, but Americans have always found ways to ramp up and get the job done. That's how we won WW2 and it is how we will win this.

QUOTE (Earl @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 11:10 AM) I'm looking for a thread from a few months (?) ago regarding places to eat around the Cell. I tried the search feature and got the message about the search engine being off line "for the moment". Should I try later? Thanks! http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;#entry812014 This may be the one you are looking for.

(Insert Celeb Here) is Dead
He hosted SNL and he and his wife put on a great ballroom dancing show. Straight up, no joking. Seemed like one of the few who lived a normal life instead of the tabloid kind of crazy Hollywood life

I'm Proud of Myself
I am so proud of myself. Some tree hugging green dude on a bike was riding right next to a puddle, I hit the water just right and sent a big old shower of muddy water all over his spandex.

Healthcare reform
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 10:21 PM) You don't get it. Private insurance cannot compete. They lose money under this. Private health care is springing back up in Canada because people hate the system. Gee, go figure. It's a boondoggle to control what they don't now, and that IS socialism, whether you want to admit it or not. They ARE liberal because they KNOW what it will do. Oh, let's take public option off the table, but in its place, let's put regulations up the ass on what they can and cannot do. Last time I checked, that means they will be so regulated that they will not be able to make the decisions in a market based situation. Oh, I forgot. The "market" is an evil socio-f***up that we dare not do. We must contain salaries, health care, industries, environment, and everything else under the sun, all in the name of making our society so much better - they know what's best for us, shut the f*** up, sit down, no debates, we know what's better for you then you know! Barackus the Great knows utopia, and we will arrive! Woot! Citizens of the US are here to provide profits for corporations. The government of the people should get out of the way and let the corporations dictate how they want to take profits from the people. Become a government for the corporations. Hell, let stop voting and allow corporations to run everything. Enron, Worldcom, bank after bank, and the list goes on. There is a balance, you think the government is evil, I get it. The government sucks. How dare we think we could do something better than Canada!? Next you will say we should stop some military action because it didn't work for the French. Damn, kaperboly is fun!

AJ throwing out baserunners?
It takes a few guys to throw someone out. But the catcher has to have a quick release and an accurate throw. That can make up for a lot, but not all, of the pitcher's sins.

Too many mistakes on that list to even bother about correcting. Perhaps this would be a good time for a soxtalk group project??

Peavy claims to be ready
There is also an unwritten expectation that teams play hard until the end. Of course as teams are mathematically eliminated they start to cruise and play more of the younger guys, but to give up when in theory you still have a chance is for losers.

It is always fun to start a drummer debate. All the "way too into crowd" start quoting obscure drum tracks that 99.9% of the public doesn't notice and songs they never listen to. /ducks again- Catch-All Anything Thread

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Sep 9, 2009 -> 05:08 PM) Ringo was the bread and butter of the beatles. He would always settle them down when they were fighting in the later days. Plus his drumming on the end and rain is amazing. OK, he was a peace maker. But seriously, he was the drummer. • How do you tell if the stage is level? The drummer is drooling from both sides of his mouth. • How can you tell a drummer's at the door? The knocking speeds up. • What's the last thing a drummer says in a band? "Hey guys, why don't we try one of my songs? • What do you call a drummer that breaks up with his girlfriend? Homeless. • How can you tell when a drummer's at the door? He doesn't know when to come in • What do Ginger Baker and black coffee have in common? They both suck without Cream. • How many drummers does it take to change a lightbulb? Five: One to screw the bulb in, and four to talk about how much better Neil Peart coulda done it. • How many drummers does it take to change a light bulb? None, they have a machine to do that now. • How can you tell when the drum riser is level? Drool comes out of both sides of the drummer's mouth. • Why didn't the little drummer boy get into heaven? Because he woke the baby for Christ's sake! • What do you call a drummer with half a brain? Gifted. • What do you call a Drummer in a Volkswagen? Farfromthinken. • What does a drummer use for contraception? His personality. - Dumbest comments on facebook
