  2. QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 20, 2013 -> 10:59 AM) Or uniforms, at all. They probably could do some nice athletic-wear which would be marketable to sell. They're the only coach of the major sports that goes on the play area during the playing of the game.
  3. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 19, 2014 -> 02:57 PM) I've thought long and hard about this, and I'm going to try to pitch "The Fault in our Stars" as the book. I just think a book that's simpler/accessible language-wise and more topical is the way to go. My best students (and the ones mostly likely to read in English) are all girls (the boys prefer basketball and computer games, haha), so I think it would resonate more with them. Even "Into the Wild" didn't work so effectively in my former school, where a co-worker was a teaching it, and I really love Kraukauer books for the most part. Yes, it's a "teen/young adult" book, in the same way that Twilight and Hunger Games are, but it's one of the most elegantly-written books ever in that genre. I've taught Animal Farm before, but there's just no way the Chinese administrators would allow that book, or 1984. Thanks, by the way, for all the great ideas. Gave me some new books to put on my reading list. Did you read my link?

  5. I thought that Sale would have broken down by now.
  6. You'd have to fly to Albany and rent a car.
  7. QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 11:47 AM) The way I understood it, there was a group of people watching the dude on the bridge and the chick decided that she wanted a selfie with the jumper in the background. Kind of an obnoxious thing to do. Like taking a selfie with a car accident in the background. Someone must have taken her picture unless there was a great mirror there.
  8. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 5, 2014 -> 07:41 PM) I have never laughed as hard at a quote from a broadcaster as I did from a quote by him. Only from reading it. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/quotes/quocole.shtml
  9. QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 09:51 AM) Cheryl Scott retweeted me. Which means she totally wants to sleep with me, right?
  10. QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 16, 2013 -> 04:03 PM) b****es be crazy. So girl I've been seeing for close to a month now (so obviously not serious but potentially seems to be heading in that direction) tells me last night that she is scared about how fast the relationship is moving and is kind of freaked out and wants to try to take things slower. Not exactly what I wanted to hear but I kind of get it because we have been hanging out a ton despite not knowing each other very long. However, when we hung out on Saturday she was the one who asked me to come over to her place to watch a movie on Sunday night and we also have plans on Thursday (at her suggestion) for her to come to my place to cook dinner. So yeah, have no idea what to do with that one. She wants to be friends. Get to know you without physical stuff.
  11. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 11:04 PM) Which lucky Soxtalker won the Mega Millions? The grocery store where I usually buy my tickets sold a $1 million dollar winner from that drawing. I forgot buy a ticket.
  12. He's young, but short for a 1B. Has an arm, but struggles at 3B and in the OF. Has power but hasn't exhibited enough. Time to deal or keep and use 2014 as another development year?
  13. The Sox didn't get enough back for Santiago, in my opinion. LAA and Arz both got a lot more.
  14. I write up meal plans and buy components. Also, buy meat in bulk and package it up and put it in an auxiliary refrigerator.
  15. Andre Brown, Le'Veon Bell, LeSean McCoy, Steven Jackson, Ryan Mathews. Please pick two.

    Johnson had people hire Oswald.
  18. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 18, 2013 -> 04:10 PM) Random question - anyone collect coins or stamps? I was at a fundraiser a couple of weeks ago and ended up winning an assortment of coins and stamps. They're supposedly valued at about $1,000 (for a $40 donation...not bad!). Anyways, one of the stamps in particular was valued at $400 bucks. Some used 1920's stamp from a zeppelin flight or something. I have no idea where to go to (1) get an idea of what this stuff is worth, (2) whether it's worth holding on to, and if not (3) where to sell them. eBay.
