QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 27, 2010 -> 03:32 PM) That is gay as hell. It really must suck being a kid today. It's gotten more popular the last few years. There are 3 or 4 places near me that do it.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 27, 2010 -> 05:26 AM) At my school everyone is in costume on Friday. I will not be in a costume, instead I will be in correct Native American medicine man regalia. Our school system doesn't allow the kids to dress up anymore. It's not so bad for my older two as they are in 7th and 9th grade. But my youngest is only in 3rd. Hell I remember dressing up at school in 10th grade. I also remember going out trick-or-treating with my friends when I was 15 or 16. I guess once you start driving, you're probably too old to go out trick-or-treating though.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 12:45 PM) The more I look at this list, the more I realize that I'm really just not a fan of the horror genre. The only ones I really like would be better classified as psychological thrillers. I think some of the ones showing up in the list should be classified more as a thriller than horror. The problem with horror movies is that there aren't a whole lot of really good ones IMHO. So many of them are old and cheesy or just the typical kill a bunch of sex-crazed teenagers gore-fest. Some of them I think people remember seeing them as kids and being scared but if they watched them now they'd wonder what they were so afraid of. Then there are the horror-comedies like Army of Darkness or Shaun of the Dead.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 23, 2010 -> 03:42 PM) knight, can you send me my list? I lost it. Good to see Hostel get some love. I think Paranormal Activity should be much, much higher. It's definitely a classic, f*** the haters. Surprised it only showed up on 4 lists. I remember spending all but the last 2 minutes of the movie waiting for something to happen. I thought it pretty much sucked.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 06:48 AM) Is this the first video game Jordan has ever appeared in? He was in the original NBA Street as well as NBA Street 2.

I quit watching Nick in the early 90's so I only got about half of them right. A few I recognized the description of the show but couldn't remember the name. A few of them I got because I remember my kids watching them.

Good thing the police department doesn't work this way. We'd like to come and help you with the man that just broke into your house with a large knife but you didn't pay the $75 fee for police protection. We're sorry that he killed a few of your family members but maybe next time you'll learn. Call us back if he breaks into your neighbor's house.

I know of a Wal-Mart that literally has a fire department at the end of their parking lot. But if the Wal-Mart ever caught on fire the firefighters couldn't do anything about it because it's not in their district.

12/15 Purely guessing at all the questions.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 29, 2010 -> 10:15 AM) SOA was getting tedious and soap operaish with Gemma's dad. I hope they pick it up a little here as the whole adding in unnecessary twists like the medication thing was pointless. The Jimmy line looks to be going good but the whole frustration over finding Abel is getting old quick. Resolving the Gemma thing will be good as well. I didn't think last night's episode was all that great. They didn't really "do" all that much. The only action that happened was from them getting the medication. My favorite line was Tig saying that Gemma could go redhead and her getting pissed at him.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Sep 29, 2010 -> 10:13 AM) I've never understood why people with children keep those dogs as pets. Even if it's statistically high, why subject your children to that risk? http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/bullmastiff.htm Sounds like bad owners.

QUOTE (11and1 @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 10:08 PM) I did mention that they are good, and I know why. But 100 wins would be out of the question if we hadn't handed them 5 or 6 on a silver platter, and if the rest of the division was just a little stronger. Twins vs. ALC = 46-20 Twins vs. rest of league = 46-40 On the other side, the Yankees are 57-33 vs teams not in the ALE and Rays are 50-33. The Twins have certainly benefitted from playing in a weak division.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) Many people can't afford to do otherwise without the help of programs like SCHIP. Which means the kids are covered. Which also means that the parents won't be signing up for/dropping coverage every time the kid gets sick.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 01:51 PM) Have you noted what the cost of an actual insurance policy for a child in the individual market? You're talking about several thousand dollars, maybe over 10k if the child is in a high risk group. The cost of those shots would pale in comparison to the several thousand dollars you could pocket. Actually I haven't because I'm lucky enough to only pay $30 a month for my kids. I don't know how much the actual shots cost but if you have 2 or 3 kids and add in the costs of doctor visits I'm sure it can get pretty pricey. My wife and I have run the risk of going without insurance for years. We know we are playing with fire if either one of us ever gets sick or hurt. I just don't know how many people would actually take that same risk with their kids. If your kid falls and breaks his/her arm playing at school during recess you're gonna wish you had insurance before it happened becuase it's too late when you are sitting in the emergency room.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) Same reason why you'd drop a child-only plan the moment they make pre-existing condition coverage for children mandatory; if a 2 year old gets sick, then you buy insurance, not before. Kids have tons of required shots from the day they are born through high school. I'm not sure that many people would go without insurance until the kid actually gets sick.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 03:56 PM) Dead Rising. Haven't played the 2nd one but the first one is quite entertaining. That's it. Thanks.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 05:11 PM) Had that jersey in red(50th anniversary), but I've always wanted the shoes and could never find them in my size. I still have the shoes. They are really heavy for some reason. They almost feel like boots. I haven't worn them in a long time because the sole started to come off on one of them.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 02:53 PM)

I'm a bit confused about the SOA episode last night.

I saw a commercial for a game the other day but I have no idea what the name of it was. It looked like you were a character trying to fight your way through a bunch of zombies with whatever happened to be lying around on the floor. Anyone know the name of this? Sorry the description is so vague.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 21, 2010 -> 09:18 PM) So it's going to cost me 2700 f***in dollars to get my car fixed. Add that to me totaling my car out last summer by crashing underneath a damn semi and I'm on quite the f***in roll the last few years. Did I mention the fact that I'm currently unemployed? f*** I feel your pain. I'm up to almost $2000 to get mine fixed. That's after I just paid about $500 for new tires just a couple of weeks ago. Car repairs/maintenance suck.
