Wait what happened? I checked in a while ago and the Illini were up, now they're down 20??

Damn, went through a somewhat similar situation 4 years ago, it's tough to get through especially for the parents. Stuff is stuff but losing your home and your cats is just plain hard to deal with I'm sure.

Good luck shack! I still can't believe how much time these dealerships waste on situations like this, they're going to be in the red big time when it's all said and done. Do it right the first time and they make money, instead they are probably going to have to give you a more expensive car.

And Kate Upton

I love me some tequila, even the cheap s***. I get sooo hammred off of it. And beer, I love you too.

Kate Upton is the .01% of beauty.

I want DeAza to play all season to see if he can hit. If you got to sit somebody, sit Rios!!!! Yea that's an Ozzie move, let's give Robin a fair shot first before rushing to conclusions.

Ugh Optionshouse is now pushing their tax data release to March 15th, this is ridiculous.

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 07:51 PM) It's already abundantly clear that they don't want to follow the comic. They've butchered some of the main characters already. That being said, they seriously need to get the f*** to the prison already and introduce Michonne and Tyreese already. As a fellow reader of the comic book, I think we need to just forget about the comic book and expect something totally different out of the show. But still, this farm situation has been ridiculously long and the character development has been s***ty. They need to do something quick to save the show, even though there are plenty of viewers who will keep watching (me included, just because the premise of the show is still amazing).

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) Wait, how can 2 WAR possibly be league average? Doesn't anyone see the flaw in that? A starter is around 2 WAR, a bench player is considered 0-2 WAR.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 04:16 PM) I guess I am just not a fan of Hyundai's styling...I like that Honda much more than the Hyundai...to me, the Hyundai looks like plastic..it doesn't look substantial or solid...again, it's just a personal thing. Which is fine, your taste is your taste. I think that Honda is pretty sharp too, I'm happy to see that they updated their designs the past few years. I wish Toyota would do the same too.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 03:27 PM) I am getting ready to pull the trigger on the Kia Optima myself. Black exterior with Black leather interior. That's a sharp car, honestly if you take away the KIA logo you would never guess that a company such as Kia would make such a car.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 02:27 PM) Do you think? I see Hyundai as using some very sharp lines in most of their vehicles right now...not sure how that "look" will hold up with time. Hyundai Sonata Honda Accord I would say those are pretty familiar in terms of using sharp lines, it's a bit more exaggerated in the Sonata but I think many cars are using this style now. I think the Civic is closer to Hyundai's styling. Honda Civic

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 02:16 PM) The former. Hm why do you wonder? So far I see almost every major car company copying many of the same styles and designs of Hyundai's. Hondas and Hyundais actually look fairly similar nowadays from what I've seen.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 02:03 PM) I just wonder how Hyundai's styling will appear in 4-5 years. As in how their current styles will look in 4-5 years or what their styles will look in 4-5 years? Thus far they have led the industry in styling, because they had to get noticed and put loads of money into R&D (in US locations primarily). I would be disappointed if they strayed from this business model. EDIT: I will be looking at a Hyundai for my first new car (bought my current 03 Hyundai from the parents who bought it for me to use in high school and during the summers), the Veloster has gotten great reviews and the Elantra and Sonata are leaders in their respective categories.

BTW good selection the Sonata, I love me some Hyundais.

He had been known to have questionable character too.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 11, 2012 -> 02:08 PM) HBO has the whole first season of Game of Thrones On Demand but I just can't bring myself to start it. If it is as good as everyone says, I know I will like it but I'm not into the type of material. Is it a show that I can determine if I will like the rest after 1 episode? Yea I would say so. It's a pretty good intro episode, and gives you an idea of what to expect. So I've been watching 2 shows from recommendations on here, Friday Night Lights and Workaholics. Watched the first season of Workaholics relatively quickly on Netflix, it definitely grew on me. FNL has been amazing so far, almost done with the first season, but Im kinda curious how they handle having 5 seasons, do they bring in new characters or something?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 10:41 AM) Do we know that this isn't just an internet hoax? Someone later in the chain found him on facebook and added his picture, all I can say if it's fake, then they set it up beautifully. Forbes and Yahoo Finance had articles on how not to write a cover letter referencing his yesterday.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 09:45 AM) I will say one thing. The dude succeeded in getting noticed. THe email chain had pretty much every single firm in NY and Chicago, and that was all within 1 day. Terrifying Efficiency. That kid will be lucky to ever get a job on Wall Street now. He was already being called a legend by people in that email thread.

Slow blowsssss.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 01:22 PM) My boys, Gary & James. They look like they cause trouble, but in a hysterical way.

Always Sunny lovers, here are some great Valentine cards.

That list actually shows how s***ty the division is. I think the Indians are going to regress badly, the Royals will be streaky (with their pitching), and the Tigers are just a few injuries away from being the class of the division to only pretty good.
