Hmm. around 13 when my dad took me to the barber to chop off my freak flag and had it cut off above my ears. In High School I took a job at Six Flags and they required off the collar. Totally f***ed me up in the 880. I was use to a really good rhythm of my hair hitting my shoulders when I was on pace. But the worse was the one that made me look like Kap. Man, who would want to look like that?

I can't wait to see it in three years. I only watch the show in syndication.

No matter what they do to him, it will not help the victims, at all. And there is no punishment that is a deterrent to someone else with this sort of mental defect. I am also thinking the article is overlooking something. Yes he can only get 15 years for the rape, but there is also the seven individual cases of kidnapping, and a potential murder conviction for the infant. He is not getting out.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2008 -> 09:44 PM) Well, #1 pretty much ought to be unanimous. Yep, they built an entire new league around Bobby Hull

QUOTE (Felix @ May 1, 2008 -> 03:33 PM) I don't watch hockey (and never have) so my list had no hockey players. I'm sure I forgot a bunch of other guys from the Sox, Cubs, Bears, and Bulls, but we'll see. ahem Bobby *cough* Hull

QUOTE (knightni @ May 1, 2008 -> 05:10 PM) So, I'm wondering.. Would anyone be interested in doing a writeup or two regarding your favorite guy(s) on the list? We might be using this list to promote talkchicagosports. Yes. But after the list is completed, I'd like to include comments from the other people who may have voted for that player.

Help, I have never watched the show, what does the theme sound like? I am putting together a mix for my sea base and I found one but it is an instrumental.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 1, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) Unusual yes, but who would have guessed what the purpose of that was? Right. I guess my point was, of course it is unusual, but not criminal. When wqould you contact police? But much like Dahlmer had a victim run up to police and gbeg for help, sometimes the horrific just is not imaginable.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 1, 2008 -> 12:43 PM) Cheap school, cheap beer Coming out of high school in the 1970s, the drinking age of the state where the college was located was a deciding factor for many of my classmates . Mine was simpler, finding a coach that would offer me a spot on his cross country team.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 10:34 AM) Well forget about Obama for the moment... that glitch will confuse and disenfranchise people who aren't affiliated with a party, and that's a load of crap. Jumping in a little late, but our system, currently, is a political party places a candidate on the general ballot in November. How they do that is largely up to them. I do not know of any state that allows you to take a Dem and a GOP ballot for that reason. It is to help the party decide. Some parties (there are more than two) hold conventions and pick someone. Other parties spring up around one person so it is an obvious choice. But bottom line, the party selects who is on the ballot. If you are Howard Dean do you want the GOP to pick the candidate? If you are Mike Duncan, do you want the Dems to pick your candidate? So I do not get why independents, under the current system, feel they should pick a candidate from a political party. Now if you say you want a revolution, and change the party system, I'm all ears. But as it plays now, join the party if you want a voice. All you have to dso is declare which party you belong to. The vote is who is the candidate from that party. I get where you have to be a member of that party (organization) to vote in that organizations choice. I would not demand to wlak into a Rotary Club meeting and demand to vote, I'm not a member. If you want a really big voice, win office with that party, volunteer your time, talents, and treasure, and become a super delegate.

Someone who lived as a boarder in the house Naw, who would consider that unusual

QUOTE (almagest @ May 1, 2008 -> 09:49 AM) Damn liberal media! Seriously, though, I bet his wife knew, but was in denial. There are some things you'd rather NOT believe a person is capable of. I was looking at some of the film, the entrance was well hidden. I really think it is possible she didn't know, not probable, but possible. I'd like to know what was above the hidden apartment.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 05:27 PM) Haha and my class just finished Jaws yesterday, by the way, that really is a fantastic movie. I run a sea base and that has been our Thursday night tradition. Jaws, outdoors, with my 800W sound system and the base really thumping.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 1, 2008 -> 07:12 AM) ok, I just have to... do you even know how to use your mailbox? I keeeeid, I keeeeeid. I remember from my youth. It's that thing out front with the bricks. Actually, I think the check is being direct deposited. I don't want the government to know what I look like, but they might as well have access to my bank account

QUOTE (rangercal @ May 1, 2008 -> 08:56 AM) Knight changed it to Players instead of athletes yeah, I understand but when it comes time to compare a pitcher from 1908, a hockey player from 1961, a football player from 1985, and a basketball player from 1995, athleticism seems to creep into my thought process.

I am a little surprised at the make up of my list. Overall, I always felt basketball players are the most athletic, with hockey players close behind. Yet, I think I have more football players than any other category.

Basically its a snatch and grab with a walk. They will have a cart for any long stretches to avoid anyone getting uncomfortable. If the director doesn't clue you in, have everyone on one side start on the same foot, one time we had a little issue with being out of sync and kicking each other until we found a rhythm. Sorry for your loss.

I do not think it is racist. I think long lines at the polls is a mistake. I think long lines at the DMV to have ever American photographed by the state is a mistake. I think this is a solution looking for a problem. Stopping voter fraud is an admirable goal. But doing so at the expense of legitimate voters while ignoring the biggest source of fraud, absentee ballots, is political grandstanding and pandering for votes. Now I have to go check my mailbox for my stimulus check Bush Woot! Gop! there is some pandering I really like.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 05:23 PM) I thought that I'd edited out that Sox guy in my reply. I know who he is. I was giving you a hard time. As with all these lists, it is always weighted towards recent nominees.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 10:28 PM) No, you can actually drink until you die, its called alcohol poisoning and you dont necessarily choke on your own puke. That argument can end here. We both agree that its impairing to the user and you shouldnt be driving or operating or anything of that sort, I would NEVER claim that it doesnt impair you. Basically if we are going to legalize and regulate any "drug" for the purpose of altering someone's mind, for relaxation or social reasons like alcohol, cigarettes, or even for medicinal purposes like vicodin, Marijuana has by far the least side effects, long term damage, and total danger of impairment. Alcohol's main dangers are the damage to the body long term, and the threat of actually overdosing. Marijuana has no addictive effects, has no danger of overdose, and the long term health effects are much less than other regulated substances. I never said it should be legal for all consumption, but if we are categorizing drugs that COULD be legal and regulated, it is probably the least damaging to us, with some actual positive effects. I have said many times that you cannot OD on marijuana, and that marijuana is a pretty mild drug. You build a great case to end the sale of alcohol in this country, but the liquor, hotel, advertising, restaurant, and bar lobbies are too powerful to make that happen. But when someone drives high and gets in an accident, I blame the pot and you say it was some other cause. You even agree that it does impair you. But how can you not agree that if it impairs you, it is the cause? Guys have heart attacks while having sex, that doesn't make sex all bad. Guys drop dead while weight lifting, running, playing hoops, that doesn't make those activities bad. Why is stating that some people have died from smoking pot and being impaired such a big deal? Oh well, it was fun as always. See you next November to have the same semi-annual thread

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 06:58 PM) I know its a great example of h ow black and white your arguments are. If you thought of guns the same way as weed, guns have the potential to cause harm to someone but its the person who causes harm, not the gun itself. Your argument would be the simple use of a gun is wrong because it may have the possibility of hurting someone in a bad situation. Any way you slice it there have been zero reported deaths in the history of the US directly related to marijuana use, it may have contributed in a bad situation, but you cannot die simply from the use of it. Again, if someone is so drunk they can barely get behind the wheel of a car and dies in an accident, I say alcohol was the cause, not a neck fracture from hitting the windshield, not a stupid decision they made. If someone is baked and gets in a car accident, you claim that pot did not cause it. You claim someone can die from drinking. If they are really drunk and aspirate their own vomit, choking to death, you would claim they died from vomiting, not drinking. It makes no sense. You can be high, but if something bad happens, never ever blame it on the pot. Pot is the perfect drug, and nothing has ever happened to anyone because of pot. If that really makes sense to you, great. And once again, I am in favor of decriminalizing pot, I've never said it was more dangerous that anything, or was so terribly bad for you. But I am realistic to know you shouldn't be driving or operating machinery when you are high. Your reflexes are much slower and accidents are more likely to occur. If you are high and get in an accident you would have avoided if sober, then common sense tells us that the cause of your reaction time slowing is the cause of the accident.

And to be fair, it cuts both ways. I have known a few guys were are mean, nasty, stupid, and dangerous drunks, who are mellow and funny when stoned.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 04:39 PM) I sent you a PM already regarding your list. Got it, Isiah and Joyner are off. A Cub and a Bear are on. And I'm guessing that Sox player you were unfamiliar with will get at least three votes
