QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 08:19 PM) guinea worms are another one of the parasites that terrify me Similar concept- the bot fly. Bot fly larva grow under the skin, nasty stuff.

For me it was cave crickets. I had never seen them before (growing up in Chicago, the only cricket I knew was the standard black garden cricket). I moved into a basement room in a house in DC a couple years. A couple days in and I'm in my bathroom and I see one of these guys on the wall a foot from my face at eye level. From then on, one of these guys would always jump up at me when I turned a lot on or opened the door to my closet, etc. While innocent and harmless, these things look like something out of a Resident Evil video game.

Jaws 3 (or Jaws 3D, I think it was called on release). Movie was so bad, Dennis Quaid jokingly said something along the lines of "I was in a Jaws movie?"

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:06 PM) It's called Superheroes. It's not about comic ones but actual people that patrol streets in superhero costumes. Quite fascinating. Was it about these guys. I swear, I read that whole thing half expecting it to end with "none of this really happened" but really wanting it to be true. My obvious reactions (as was predicted in the article) was why don't they just become cops. But yeah, really cool story (again, if it's along the same lines, haven't seen the documentary).

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) Wow Morel didn't get benched for hitting a bomb yesterday... Please continue to end each post with an ellipsis so I can just aid your avatar quote to the end of the preceding sentence, makes me laugh. Similarly to when (was it sqwert?) who had the roaring bear, made me think the bear was yelling. Simple mind, simple pleasure. Now go you White Sox!

Anyone in here a Top Shot fan? New season started last night, pretty excited.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 08:56 AM) Arrested Development is the one that stands out most to me. And, "Over There" was a show on FX in the mid-2000's about the current Iraq war. I liked it a lot, but it only made it 13 episodes. Boom, these two were the ones that stood out for me. I also miss a couple Adult Swim shows like Home Movies and Lucy- Daughter of the Devil.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:38 AM) Or t-shirts with the color of the opposing team, reverse "black out." Obviously having more Yankees or Red Sox fans in the stadium SHOULD HAVE made them feel like they were on the road but that didn't exactly work out well. Seriously. That Yankees stadium did feel like a road series with all of their fans in their. Embarrassing.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:11 AM) I miss the vest jerseys. They were f***ing awesome. I agree. Did anyone else notice the advertisements for Sunday Night Baseball last week when we played the Yankees- the do the side by side of a representative player from each team and our pic was of Paulie... wearing the vest jersey. Is that really their most recent photo of having the Sox on ESPN...? (veiled attempt to disguise my hatred for ESPN)

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 09:57 PM) Probably. I think he can be a .280+, 15-18 HR hitter with that gold glove at 3B, and that would be amazing. Seriously, I will take that every day of the week.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) You must hate America. Checked out Source Code on Sunday. Another meh movie. Decent idea that took a dive off the cliff about half way through. Gyllenhall is becoming quite the actor, i'll grant him that. But the story was weak (the "bad" scientist was incredibly awful with whatever accent he was using) and really the whole "science" behind it didn't really fit together at all. The obvious problem being that if you're relying on the last 8 seconds of a persons memory, how are you able to see/experience things that the source did not? Probably a dumb quibble considering the whole thing is unbelievable to begin with, but still. Unless he's talking about the Steven Seagal version. Can't get much more Amurica than Seagal.

Garfien's Sox Drawer Funny bit about the Sox players having fake names to check into hotels.

For weekly 'drama' - Prison Break (or Prison 'Broke' as my friends called it after season 1) Re-watchability - Futurama and South Park Sitcom - Community or Parks and Rec

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 09:28 AM) Sorry Chisoxsonic. Sorry, will now go back to Death Race, Tarantino, Machete, Sin City, The Watchmen, Tombstone and Easy Rider to make myself more macho again. Hey, when you're an English Lit major and you have to study all those authors, it's kind of interesting to see all those writers enacted/portrayed in a movie. The Hemingway character is hilarious...must have had a lot of fun with that role. And, FWIW, I liked Daniel Craig in Defiance a lot. He was very good. Golden Compass, that was a disaster for all involved, from Pullman on down. I just hope the next Bond movie (whenever it gets ironed out) is more like Casino Royale....the last one was super-disappointing. Definitely a good one. The obvious mention has to be Layer Cake (since it was this role that got him the Bond films), awesome film.

World Series or bust!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) To whoever says yes, please post so in here and your address so I can come to your home and kick you in the nuts. me -> THIS GUY. Actually, I immediately regretted my snap vote after I reread the question. 'Main reason'? Absolutely not. Slight contributing factor? Yes. That's what I get for not reading directions.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) I would also allow a Sandberg hiring, in hopes that it turns out like a Mike Scioscia-like situation. Where in the face of the franchise on the other side of town manages the rival town's team to success... While I may not agree with the sentiment, your signature is epic.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 03:55 PM) For some reason that Darkest Hour movie is giving me a Langoliers vibe. Some unknown entity is destroying the world/mankind but we don't know what it is or how to defeat it. Having said that, nothing can be as bad as the Langoliers was so I'm still interested to see more about this.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:14 PM) Seriously??? I'll let Nick Cage take this one for me....

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) I am trying to figure out how the USS Defiant crashed in the Baltic. I was actually thinking of the book/movie Sphere when I first read this article.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 05:01 PM) That was spot on. I thought he should have been pulled in the middle of the inning for that play. No one knows what is going through a man's head and Guillen alludes that Rios is taking every at bat to the field with him, but whether it is because he doesn't care or cares WAY too much, the response should probably be the same, bench him. Pull him aside after the game in private and let him know how much you care about him but that his mind is not in the right place, it is hurting the team in many ways beyond just his poor performance, and he is going to get some time extended time off. Put in De Aza and see how good of a teammate Rios can be from the bench. Great post; well articulated.

Holy s***. You do not say that about another man's wife. Beyond words.

QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 11:24 AM) and the countdown to Ozzie's offensive reaction to that begins. Wow. I am so dense. I saw that tweet last night and we definitely taken aback but it didn't click that he was making a jab at the Guillen's. That makes COMPLETE sense now.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 04:18 PM) It's awesome how on edge everyone is and how any random tweet can generate excitement. The trade deadline is the f***ing best, no matter what. This. I've been on edge for days, just glued to what everyone is saying. Love it. I was thinking about how this trade deadline is so much more exciting than last year (but it's also because we have so much uncertainty with the team's direction).
