QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 11, 2008 -> 03:36 AM) Right there with ya... Just took about a 5 minute break after studying for statistics for the last 6 hours, and now I'm moving on to studying for religion. Three "A"s on Stats exams but my lab grade may have dropped me to a B. I really despised having to take a lab for stats. I know it was put in to help the math and stats addled individuals pass.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 11, 2008 -> 12:52 AM) Why isn't TexSox a post count option in the vote? I was too lazy to look up post counts, I just knew who the top three were/are.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 11, 2008 -> 12:14 AM) So, I got really hammered last night at the bars and I drove home. I know I shouldn't, but I tried to drive very carefully. Turns out I didn't do so good, because this morning I went out to the garage and found a dude all mangled up and $hit and stuck in the grill of my car. He's still alive but he's really eff'd up, and he keeps asking me to drive him to the hospital. Obviously, if I do that a cop is probably going to see me driving a car with a guy stuck in the grill, and I'm sure that's something he could write me a ticket for. I'm already carrying a few points on my license, so I'm trying to be careful, you know? Any suggestions from anybody who has been in this situation before? The best approach is to look to the government for help. This is a really big problem and it call for a really big answer. I'd call the Senator from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy for advice about vehicle mishaps.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 11, 2008 -> 07:04 AM) The bailout of the Republic workers cost 1.75M. Any chance at all that BoA or JPM ever see a dime of that money again? Wait, are they closing their doors?

Hmm, I think I will check the syllabus and see where I stand before tomorrow's final. Gee, why is it worth so many points?? OH f*** it's cumulative! See ya!

Bank of America and AIG may be buying, or at least lending money based on your post count.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 07:20 PM) True. The person below me regularly crosses to the other side of the street to avoid panhandlers. False. I ask them if they have any change. The person below me has been on double secret probation

It's Italian for I can't spell appreciate

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 06:36 PM) I need starting pitching and AJ Burnett is available for a contract on the order of 5 years, $90 million, similar to what Zambrano got. What should I do? You gotta show the fans you are serious about winning, today and tomorrow. Don't be namby pamby, go 6/105 and show the world what you're made of!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 06:01 PM) My company's Chirstmas Party is Friday night and I want to make the right impression. What should I do? If it is anything like a Christmas Party, I would hang some Mistletoe from my belt buckle and listen for the laughs. Remember, jokes aren't just for fellow employees, find the boss' wife and show her, she'll feel like one of the gang, and her husband will appreciate it.

I'm invited to speak at a PETA conventions. I hear they love animals, and so do I. I fact I have a new leather trench coat. Should I wear that or is it too flashy?

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 04:57 PM) My brothel no longer takes checks, and I'm just not comfortable carrying large amounts of cash. Any suggestions? Credit cards are always the best option. But, someday you may run for public office, so you will not want to use one in your name, so use your wife's card. Much smarter. And be generous, leave a tip, hookers don't have any fun when guys come up short.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 04:52 PM) If Jesse is Sen Candidate 5... how will he spin this? That he "didn't know" that his people offered 500,000 for the senate seat? I bet he wont go to jail because he will be able to claim plausible deniability... but seriously, I sure hope that people in this state remember that this MOFO was trying to buy his way into the senate chambers. He'll say "that (I'll contribute $500,000) was in green"

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 03:36 PM) Dear Soxtalk, I've got a job opening up soon where I work and a lot of people want it. I'm supposed to appoint the best person for the job, but lately, I've had a lot of potentially lucrative offers for it. My wife really had her heart set on that 2009 Porsche and we could sure use that 7 bedroom lake house that I've been wanting. Some of the interested parties say that they can get me these things. What do you think? Sincerely, "Tod" PS - Go Cubs Go! PPS - Boy, there have been a lot of guys with sunglasses on around the captol building lately. The key is finding someone who looks kind of like the person being replaced, if they have a celebrity father, even better. I have an off the wall question. There is this guy in the neighborhood who really seems to love kids. He has a ranch and the kids are always hanging out there. He wants my kids to spend the night and says he'll look after them real close. It's not weird or anything, he's married and has kids of his own. There is one weird thing, he's white but dances like he isn't and is always singing "beat it". Signed Thriller

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 04:32 PM) Partially true, I tried. The person below me heard their mama cry, heard her pray the night Chicago died. True, When THE Mayor Daley died The person below me has seen skyrockets in flight, afternoon delight

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 02:44 PM) False. The person below me believe Christmas is a made-up Hallmark holiday...like Secretary's Day. True in the way it is celebrated now The person below me has made love in a Chevy van. (and that's alright by me)

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 12:30 PM) The bank didn't want to give out a loan to a company that was goign under. Giving out s***ty loans that will never be paid back is a big reason we are in this whole credit crisis. Were the company's financials ever made public? We seem quick to make assumptions, although they seem right. 6 months ago Public says "Well you are the bankers, we trust you to make the correct decisions for the bank and the US." $700 billion bailout and 6 months later Public says "Well you are the bankers, we trust you to make the correct decisions for the bank and the US."

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 12:13 PM) That's nice and all, but it doesn't really address the issue of conflicting information coming out of the Obama camp. 1. Axelrod says they spoke a little while ago. 2. Details on Blago come out, and include him calling Obama a "motherf***er" for not bribing Blago. 3. Obama camp denies ever talking to Blago about this. Given 1 and especially 2 (why would Blago be pissed if he didn't talk to them?), 3 isn't possible. I think its just Obama distancing himself from the situation without saying "Yeah, he wanted to be bribed and we said no." We really do not want Obama in Federal Court giving testimony against Blago if it could be avoided

I am going to go out on a limb here and predict the next elected governor will be a Rep.

Recession proof occupation. Be a potential 20 game winner

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 10:51 AM) True. Nor have I started my Hanukkah shopping. The person below me loves the smell of napalm in the morning. False, but that movie will be covered in my film studies class next semester The person below me has spent more than $500 on a bicycle.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 11:29 AM) True. The person below me has had a naked picture taken of them at some point as an adult. True. The person below me has not started their Christmas Shopping

International Import Export of Pharmaceuticals is recession proof and a certain way to prosper in a down economy. You will want to get tax advice to set up your company properly. The IRS is a great place to start, give them a call.

I'm thinking of leaving my job and getting into the mortgage lending business, what do you think?
