Got a bottle of Hendrick's gin for xmas. That's some smooth stuff. What's the point of the cucumber thing though? I assume a lime would be too overpowering?

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Dec 26, 2011 -> 06:05 PM) So I get an error message that the xbox isn't reading the FIFA12 game. I tried all of the troubleshoot stuff on the website. I just got the system and game for my little brother for Christmas. All of the other games seem to work. This is my first experience with this system. Any suggestions? Not sure how common of a problem it is or if there's a fix. Thanks. Was it used? If it's only having trouble reading a certain disk, there must be a scratch or something on that disk.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 08:49 AM) What kind of attire is normal for the group you are meeting with? Oh my bad, I meant to add that. It's business casual there.

So what do you wear to an internal psuedo job interview (that's actually being called a meeting)? I have met everyone I'm interviewing with and we've discussed the opportunity already. I feel like showing up in a suit would make me feel ridiculous.

Is nba 2k12 worth buying for the "my player" mode? I'm not a big NBA guy and that's the only mode I really see myself getting hooked on...

This team isn't great by any means, but they sure know how to gut their way to a win. The mccamey/tisdale teams have 3 losses by now.

The leonard tap out rebound is awesome.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 09:53 PM) He needs to tell them something. BP3 just started driving to the hoop and look what happened. Where was that the first 36 minutes? Bruce needs to just drill this into his head. He has the moves to drive whenever he wants.

Had to expect a game like this eventually w/ Illinois being so young. Leonard hasn't been able to get free and the Illini haven't taken advantage of the double team.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 11:40 PM) I'm not sure if that's the list of a 25 year old or a 15 year old. Totally OK with that. Christmas is where I can ask for all the silly things I want, but would never buy for myself.

6 different Christmas celebrations. Being married brings holiday challenges.

On a different note, AT&T Park would be an AWESOME place to watch an illini bowl game. Too bad no one in their right mind is going to drop that dough on airfare to watch a horribly disappointing team play another bad team.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 12:06 AM) The more I think about it, the more I would be a fan of Mike Leach getting a look from Illinois. Absolutely. It would bring some buzz to a program that desperately needs it. He won at TT with less than premier talent - he could do the same thing here. Doesn't seem likely though.

QUOTE (SnB @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 10:37 PM) no idea where this illini team would be w/o maniscalco ahem good lord, this kid is something else.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 04:43 PM) Year 7 of going to my family first, her family second, and trying to eat two full meals. It's a struggle. Gotta treat the first meal as a "tasting sampler" and then go all out on the 2nd meal. Good thing I love thanksgiving food.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 10:40 PM) It's amazing to watch how bad Brandon Paul is. Illinois should be getting 14-18 shots a game for Richardson, as he's rebounded from a bad soph year to look good this season so far. Paul's shooting motion is just horrid. I have no faith in him for anything. this ending has been ridiculous

no idea where this illini team would be w/o maniscalco

Goose Island's Mild Winter has always been one of my favorites. I bought a sixer of it this week and it just doesn't taste the same this year. Am I alone on this?

"tres puntos" shoot me.

I'm just imagining the resort manager walking into his banquet hall one day saying, "We could put a basketball court in here." WTF

I'm at the point now where: horribleness of the hangover > fun of being drunk I think that's officially the "i'm old" line.
