QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 03:12 PM) i said liberal democrats (think dailykos types). not realizing that many of them did blindly support Iran over the evil Bush regime is ridiculous. How many people do you think that is?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 03:01 PM) Kind of makes sense. People out of town want Sox news and Sox talk, they have to get it from the interwebs. Lack of other fans to talk with, newspaper and TV coverage, etc. Plus, the age range is heavy in the college years, so people are spread out all over for school. That sums me up. News I could find, someone to commiserate with was what was lacking.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 02:51 PM) Or right in the middle. Maybe Rock is that bum that hangs out on the median and offers to clean your windshield for a dollar? That ain't no bum, he's a GOP banker trying to stretch his government bailout

At the end of the night, do not drink a few shots of schnapps to get rid of the "beer breath".

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) It could be the greatsest HOF speech of all time if someone else doesn't write it for him. I have never really looked forward to those speaches, but his is one I can't miss. I wish they would allow Ricky to introduce Ricky

My Motorola H500 is failing after two years of daily use. I was looking at noise cancelling models and wondering if they are worth the extra $$

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 01:09 PM) Don't you think a unanimous ballot would really feed a Henderson ego that doesn't need feeding? Ricky already believes Ricky is the greatest. What Ricky do is the greatest.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 01:04 PM) Depends on whether you know the bartender and whether (s)he can make drinks worth a damn. If you are in a band playing at a bar that has both types of music — country and western — do not assume the drinks for the band are free just because the bartender doesn't charge you for the first round. Excellent Bob's Country Bunker is like that.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 12:07 PM) False. The person below me went straight back to bed when they saw the temperature today. False, I laughed The person below me likes having four seasons and would be bored with only Spring and Summer.

I thought it would be fun to compile a guide to partying. For example, When faced with that "it's late and you have to get up early, is it worth sleeping" question, always grab some sleep. Even if it is 5 am and you need to be awake at 6 am.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 11:49 AM) True. The person below me has recently found a food item lying around that was several years past its expiration date. False, but someone I know just found a three year old box of Cheerios in . . . wait a minute . . . The person below me has eaten a questionable food product at three a.m.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 11:50 AM) Dude, are you high? Yeah, I even ate some three year old Cheerios I found in my desk drawer

That adds some clarity to the situation. I can understand that reasoning. I do not necessarily agree, and I doubt that was the intent of limiting their votes.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 6, 2009 -> 08:44 AM) So you can imagine the strange visuals that went through my head thinking pink taco penis. Dude, they give you keys to that cabinet at work!?

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.
