My goal for work today: Beat Dr. Mario for the NES I'm up to Level 17/20 Lofty, lofty professional goals over here.

I have a road authentic buehrle w/ the 03 sox all star game patch. an authentic alternate black crede w/ the 05 WS patch. and a authentic vest (psuedo) rowand w/ the 05 patch. This one was from the triple threat sports sale in 05, when "authentic" jerseys were like 100 bucks. They're definitely not the real thing, but good enough. Also, for a gift for my brother, I found him a game worn Ray Durham jersey from '99 on ebay for 150 bucks. That was a steal.

I'm still convinced Jim Thome wanted to tell everyone in the crowd how beautiful they all were through his at-bat song.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 10, 2010 -> 09:00 AM) I'm going to lunch at Portillos today. First time. What should I get? GO... beef, sweet and hot, w/ fries.

quick question. How long does it take to get your money from an online savings account to another bank account (one w/ a debit card). 1 business day, 2 days, instant?)

i didn't realize it was a ben episode tonight......fantastic.

Just a heads up for anyone who has an extra bases MLB credit card (the ones they give out at the game): They finally put up game dates so you can redeem your points for sox tickets. I just picked up 2 games and most games are still available (except the big ones). They're GREAT seats right behind the plate. I know they usually go pretty fast, so if you got the points, jump on it.

QUOTE (The Beast @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 03:08 PM) What is the opinion of how to date? If something is meant to happen, it will? When? I'm almost out of college and though I feel less socially retarded, I still have a lot of catching up to do with my peers. Do people really meet others to date on the job or online? Or...what were you getting at? almost all of my friends that I still see from college can be traced back to the kids I worked with at the dorm cafeteria my fresh/soph year. It was a group of 5-6 that branched out to where everyone's individual social circle became a part of the group. One of those "branches" is how I met my wife. Become friends with women and your options will open up A TON (ie: they have way more women friends than the guys you hang out with do).

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) Where have you looked? I usually call around my 10 local gamestops to look for stuff, since they seem to be on every damn corner targets, best buys, toys r us, k mart, gamestops.....

The wii fit is still hard to find?? I want to get one for my wife for her birthday and am astonished that they're still not readily available. anyone know any places i'll have some luck?

the office fandom is dying and dying quickly.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 11:01 AM) I prefer gap to Banana or Express because im not that metrosexual. Some of my friends definitely shop there, but they also wear classy scarves. Just saying. :lolhitting that's just fantastic.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 1, 2010 -> 08:27 AM) THat is just the old folks version of the "I am drunk", and can't handle it thread. no that thread is the "Jim uses big words that no one else understands" thread

28, sounds about right for me.

Hey guys, I figured we could use a spot to discuss personal finance and whatnot. As some of you know, I got married last fall. We still haven't gotten a joint checking/savings account yet and we're finally looking. Who can you guys recommend for good savings/money market accounts? Online ones seem to give the best interest rates, I just need some personal feedback from people. Discover seems like they have a good program.

was up till 3 am playing mario wii last night. Got from the 4th world to the 7th world castle.......at 3 am our motor skills had declined too far to continue. good god i'm tired.

i will buy an authentic usa kane jersey if they win gold.

is the game on the radio this afternoon?

no mario kart?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 06:59 AM) Very surprised Illini were over 94%, with the suckitude of the Fighting Zookers and the usual lukewarm support for the football program. townies man, townies.

I heard it for the first time the other day, I thought it was a hilarious concept. Good work marketing department.

any idea what "you've got what it takes" is referring to?

if michigan plays anything more than a HORRIBLE game here tonight, they're winning comfortably.
