I'm going to surprise my wife on her birthday on Christmas Eve. Anyone ever been? I've got friends who live in Luxembourg and travel to France a ton, I'll ask and see if they've been there. I believe they've been to Nice, not sure on Monte Carlo specifically.

Wow, the photo with the shooter behind the ambassador is chilling.

My mom got me and my brother matching denim jackets, we were 20 and 23 years old at the time. We strutted around in those like bosses. JK we returned them the next day.

Agreed, updated now.

Man Frazier just seems perfect for the Red Sox, can't believe he wasn't in the package.

QUOTE (HeGone7 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 01:27 PM) Can someone explain to me how this will effect the Sox. I assume it hindered the package a little if Boston eats that 31.5 penalty. Which is understandable, it was a question I had during the process. If the Sox don't have to absorb it, then I'm ok with it. But I don't know with certainty how that plays into these deals w/international guys. Never paid attention to the monetary aspect. Thanks Al of that money is spent and gone, White Sox are not liable for any of it.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 01:02 PM) I get an assist for setting that one up right?

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:59 PM) BTW the Red Sox just opened a massive hole a 3B. Unless you think Panda is going to fill that hole. He fills many holes, just not that one.

QUOTE (Real @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) He's a PROSPECT You just said they didn't get the Red Sox's top 2 prospects, so what exactly are you trying to say? Besides angry venting at the internet.

QUOTE (Real @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) Not even their two best f***ing prospects, lol. what a failure Moncada is the #1 prospect in all of baseball so....

Wow, it happened.

I love Panera food, but it's gotten so damn pricey with smaller portions in the last few years. I loved right above one in college and a chipotle half a block away, hangovers were so easy then.

I just booked my annual trip to Vegas for March Madness, I'll be over there March 23-26 Shack

Bhrom looks to be the favorite for Purdue at this point.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) Then lock or move the thread already. The rumor was pulled out of some random poster's ass anyway. Doesn't merit a serious response. Move on from this thread, if you can't participate according to our rules then just move on to other threads, no need to come in here and snipe.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) Well at least we know he likes to spend recklessly. That could be good for our ability to sign top FA's. The downward arrow on the ballpark would be so appropriate for an Obama owned team. Guys, we already gave a warning, take these comments to the filibuster. No political comments will be allowed here.

Well Groce, may as well start packing now. Defense is s***, keeps playing terrible lineups, and offense isn't near good enough to rely on. So can we throw enough money at Archie Miller?

Yea I'd love to play out there right now, very jealous. Have you been talking to friends out there to start a pickup league or something?

Bought some home theater accessories on monoprice (going to put in a wall plate to make it look nicer as the previous owner did a s*** job putting speaker wires through the wall). Nice 20% on things that don't really go on sale. Bought top flite golf balls and a hybrid from golf galaxy, they have 18pk top flites for $6.50 with free shipping.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 12:25 PM) Totally. I fell in love with the Addams family pinball when I was in college. I made the mistake of looking up to see how much one would cost. Uh, no thanks, I'd rather buy a car. I used to have a neighbor who collected and restored pinball and video game machines. Was awesome going over there as a kid but I'm sure he was freaking out a bit with kids around that stuff. He bought a few limited edition pinball machines (one was a monopoly one where they had 1 for each property/landing place) that were really cool and I'm sure ran him 5 figures easily (I think I remember him saying Park Place went easily in 6 figures). He also made decent money from the restores, though it took awhile to get them in tip top shape.

I'm not a reddit user but it's insane how the CEO of reddit admitted to editing posts specifically in /r/the_donald so that he could troll the Trump trolls. People are pissed, not just Trump fans but many reddit users since they have no trust in the site anymore. Could be a big shift in social media.

Ugh I have to just give up on Illini athletics, it's just too painful.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 01:02 PM) My fiancée and I are looking for a place to go to for a 4 night-3 day trip after we get married (probably May 11th-15th) that isn't going to be super expensive. We want to go to a beach city that has plenty to do (attractions, shopping, restaurants, nice beach), any suggestions? I assume since it's in May that you don't want to be in the Midwest. Unfortunately May is kind of rough, it's really early in the season and a lot of bodies of water will still be months away from warming up. You're going to have to go pretty far south if you want real swimming.

Why are Bears fans still being delusional about this being a quick rebuild? I seriously can't believe all of the comments from Bears fans about Pace, Fox, etc, we all knew this team was in terrible shape when they took over. It's only year 2 and we've had some good young players show up, definitely still have some holes but one point of sucking is to get better draft picks to fill those holes. I get that it sucks to lose but damn, this franchise was on a steep slope downwards, it's going to take time to right it and be good again.
