Nicely played sir.

As a society we are always moving "the line" and then we assign some comparative value based on stuff on either side of the line. The lines will always be meandering and fuzzy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 10:59 AM) Was Ricky that much better than Nolan Ryan? Yeah, Ryan couldn't hit a lick The question then becomes why wasn't Ryan and Henderson unanimous selections? It isn't about who is better than Ruth, Mays, or anyone else. It is about does this person belong in the HoF or not. A dozen or more writers asked themselves that and decided that no, Henderson does not belong in the HoF. Crazy.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 11:07 AM) Holy crap! Somebody's in the 50-59 age range!! Ain't that you?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 11:14 AM) True. Always. With tall cool tropical umbrella drinks. The person below me is jealous of me because I made and drank several perfect potted planters punches last night and they didn't. True My copy of Sippin' Safari is on backorder. The person below me has bought a lottery ticket for an upcoming drawing.

The behavior and thought patterns are universal. And to expand beyond the narrowcast of Duke's comments, everyone here would be radically different if growing up in a war zone where these are not abstract concepts. Both sides are chanting kill them before they kill us. So based on where you live in that region, killing before you are killed is real.

Last one of my undergrad career BIO 2. Need my last lab science credits. Ugh Lord help me. South Texas Literature - Great Professor, looking forward to Tuesday nights Film Studies - Another great Professor. Excellent reading and viewing list. Writing for Mass Media - On-line, looks excellent World Cultures - On-line, Looks cool as well.

Ricky not getting 100% is a joke. Actually the whole first ballot, second, etc nauseates me.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jan 1, 2009 -> 11:05 PM) No it isn't. People try cigarettes and alcohol before weed or "hard" drugs. How come they aren't considered "gateway" drugs? Oh right, they're legal and taxed on. I imagine if pot went the same way as these two people would stop calling it a gateway drug. Think about what "gate" are you going through. Chemical altering substance? Then you are probably closer mentioning tobacco or alcohol, although someone else could claim a nice sugar buzz from too much Halloween candy. I believe the reference is to the "gate" you pass through from legal to illegal substances. This is generally, but not always, the first illegal drug you try. So you are correct, if pot was made legal, there would be a new "gateway" drug.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jan 1, 2009 -> 11:10 PM) I don't agree with this at all. I know plenty of people who use coke to keep consuming alcohol until 6AM in the morrning. If they weren't introduced/hooked/had the vice of consuming alcohol would they use cocaine? Some of these same people also use this as a pick me up the next morning from the legal alcohol. On the otherside I know people who stopped drinking alcohol to smoke pot, and some that smoke cigarettes only after they toke up because they feel it enhances the high. The gate swings both ways I guess. You missed my point. As long as marijuana is illegal, you will purchase the product from someone who usually has access to other illegal drugs. It is a gateway of sorts to those other products from a distribution and sales point of view. Just like if you buy your coffee at Starbucks, there are other products there, like lattes, for you to buy. If you are buying beer, there are other products you can buy there, once you are in the door. So by making marijuana legal, you cut off the gateway between marijuana and other illegal drugs. I understand that people who smoke pot also drink alcohol, coffee, wear clothing, read books, and watch TV. Those links are not particularly as interesting to me as the notion of where you buy and what else does that lead to.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 10:02 AM) This situation is kind of the opposite. This guy stole money for his company and squandered it(so it seems), so im not thinking much of that money will turn up in circulation I'm just saying the assumption is Cooper died in the jump, but someone seems to have found the money, the made a mistake in recording the numbers, or he survived

QUOTE (Soxy @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 09:48 AM) True, and very sad becaue there are no DQ's where I live. The person below me is ready for this winter nonsense to be done. FALSE. The person below me is thinking of warm tropical beaches.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 04:01 PM) Dude, yer gettin a defective laptop nice. /from my Dell e1705 which has been solid from day 1

Some of the money that Cooper received turned up in circulation. Great mystery.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 01:33 PM) So far not one single actual southside city dweller. Looks like I need to move back in with the folks. Which is what they expected with that PhD

It must be state by state. A BA is about all you need in Texas to enter an alternative cert program. It involves 4-6 weeks in the summer and then student teaching, for pay, the balance of the school year. The cost is $3,000 to $4,000 via payroll deductions. Dallas public schools has a program as well, they hire 900 or so every year. You may also want to check out Teach for America. Relocation may be necessary.

He also managed to play well during the post season.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 5, 2009 -> 04:11 PM) What's the over/under on how many games into the season when Bradley and Zambrano get into a fight in that clubhouse/dugout? that would be so cool. It would land both of them on the 15 day.

OMG. I guess they have finally shed the lovable loser label.

Stuff that people do not think are important, but define Harold. Character. Fans talk about it, but it never comes into this discussion. Not important in judging someone's greatness. Sad. All Baines had to do was take some steroids and he'd be in. But he didn't. I guess he didn't want it enough Longevity. As if everyone can have 22 seasons in the big leagues. Somehow the work it takes to be playing well into his 40s, isn't important. No credit given for keeping his injured body in the game as long as he did.

I really dislike that society demands he appoints based on some balance of race, religion, and gender.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 5, 2009 -> 02:56 PM) Statistically, yes QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 5, 2009 -> 02:58 PM) Not necessarily. Exactly. If they are taking the median based on all dresses sold in the US, that would make AHB mosty likely correct. But, if they somehow are talking a mean, and using some height/weight stat, then converting to a dress size, than BS is more than likely correct.
