QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 11:49 AM) He had a bad WBC up until last night. I'm just glad he took a couple good swings last night. Hopefully he's good enough to be the 3-hitter all year. I saw the HR; it was a hung curve ball. Not to take away from Rios but any major leaguer would have crushed that. Japan played pretty bad and PR played pretty flawless. That's baseball.

Hopefully he didn't blow his load for the season.

US goes down. Japan beats the SF giants in a friendly.

I just saw that video of the brawl. That s*** was the epitome of funny.

This might be the best US team yet. I have a feeling it's going to come down to the US versus Japan. Those Japanese bats are hot right now. They are slapping HRs like it's going out of style.

I didn't see a thread for this... if this thread was created in error a mod will clean up the mess.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 12, 2013 -> 03:48 PM) Ive never seen Dexter, so I cant comment. Means, They try and write that away by saying that he got the military specialist who hacked the prison server. That being said, it didnt make much sense what they did to the guy at the end of the episode. I personally am starting to think it's a little over the top crazy. They really hyped this show up a lot and I just can't see how they are going to keep going on with this. They dumped the Chicago Code after one season and I actually thought that show was decent esque.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 01:00 PM) Which is why NK will never actually do it. This. Because even that fat korean Jabba the hut follows the basic survial instinct. He's no jihadist. He wants to live.

Pure saber rattling. The minute a N.Korea boot steps on S.Korea soil. It's on like donkey kong.

Can I get a hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll yessssh!

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 01:17 PM) Well do you work for the government pettie? If so, get a real job. If you work in the real world the market has dictated your value. If you dont like it that's fine, but it doesn't change the reality. Maybe someone else will value your labor more? You're free to look around. Its not super complicated, liberals just like making it that way so they can confuse and trick people into paying more taxes. For the record, I wasn't talking about anyone paying more taxes. I simply want my damn raise I work hard for. Why else do we bust are asses at work. To make sure we keeping getting a paycheck and more money.

Second, how did you come to the conclusion that I worked for the government when I threw around words like management gets bonuses? I know I'm well underpaid but the reason why these assholes can get away with it because of the recession. Noone would dare b**** about their salary because there is some sap ready to take your place. I'm just holding the line until the next best opportunity comes. That's why people don't stick around their jobs anymore, you're just a damn number to them and they are just a stepping stone for me. Duke your biggest problem is that you are the epitome of egocentric. You believe that just because you did something that everyone else can. That's the biggest amount of malarky I've ever heard. Not everyone is "you". That's why you get berated from your over the top hyperbolic posts. You can get your points across without being so damned snarky. Try it sometime and people might just start taking your posts at face value.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 01:14 PM) People will figure it out. I was well below the poverty line for 18 months of my life and after realizing how much I hated that existence I decided I would stop being poor. Suffering makes people stronger, being poor makes you want to be rich... pretty simple stuff. Toughen em up a little, make them sweat it out for a year or so and they'll get awfully creative in finding new ways of making money. That was the most anti climatic response ever. That is not the Duke Nukem I know.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 01:09 PM) A physical impossibility, the phrase originally was used to describe impossible actions. Semantics.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) What's your plan when you lose your jobs? Simple, they need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 11:58 AM) As an increasing number of Americans get more and more lazy the majorities' share of the wealth gets smaller and smaller. Or instead of giving out raises to the peons they are giving it all to management. I don't remember the last time I got a raise at my job. Every year though, management boasts about their bonuses though. Things that make you go hmmmmm

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Mar 4, 2013 -> 04:41 PM) Just an FYI, after all the accounting was done, and paying the state their 3% of the GROSS take (still can't get over that one) we made out with just over $1400! That does not count those who donated without going, as I don't see those numbers myself. Thank you again. next event is July 6th. The location isn't set in stone yet, but looks like it may be at St. Andrews again. I will post more than a week ahead of time when we have the papers signed, maybe I will see some of you there. I had 12 people, that I know of, show up for me that didn't normally show to these things, one won $240 and one won $110. Neither one was me. The governments loves to dip their hands in the cookie jar. Glad things worked out. If that is indeed the date, I'll make plans to be there to support your cause.

Anyone getting Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm expansion.

Duke really does have "balls of steels" proposing something like that that will cost taxpayers more in the long run.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 1, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) i've been waiting forever till my suspension ended to post this: and now it allllll makes sense. you "accidentally" hooked up with a crazy witch lady... right... accidentally... Dude, that was last cenutry. I have been playing D&D since high school.

For all you scared closet players, you can PM me so you're secret isn't exposed.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 23, 2013 -> 08:31 AM) My previous post should have said where and when do you guys play, not where and wow...I've corrected it. No worries. What times are good for you to play usually?

That's why those damn charity tournaments are tough to play in. I would get too frustrated with donkeys. That's why I only play high stakes. Keeps the donkeys playing down. ;-)
