Up up down down left right left ab select start you bastards (Thats for 2 player obviously) Oh and Chisox, I see that you are tempting the fates. You are about to walk into dangerous territory, so I give you the following advice. If your lady seems to be the type that believes being "thin" etc is a compliment, make sure you do not get her a size to big (err on small). If your lady seems to be the type that will get pissed off if you get her a bathing suit that is to small thinking that you are implying that she needs to go on a diet so that she can fit into said bathing suit, I wish you the best of luck as you are going to be destroyed, as if you get her a suit that is to big your also dead.

Tex, Why do you think that prices would increase? From everything I understand about the marijuana trade, the biggest cost to the consumer is risk. Most grow houses can start with less than $10k of capital and can churn out 50 + plants which can be harvested every 6-9 months. Those plants depending on strain and weight can in turn produce in excess of $1,000 of marijuana in each plant. (Im severely lowballing this estimate in that an high quality ounce can go for $350-400 and a single plant will most likely yield multiple ounces, unless your growing in a closet or trying to do some size limitation on the plant. A 3-4 foot tall plant can yield at least an ounce.) I know that people who drive from Cali to Illinois can be paid thousands of dollars just to be the "mule". Bottom line, There would be a massive increase in supply, demand would stay constant. Therefore prices should dramatically drop, my estimate is that street prices would be cut in half or more, and that the govt could easily tax it at something like 25% still making it cheaper for the end user.

Kap, What you are saying would be the equivalent of comparing The Onion to the Chicago Tribune. One is a news outlet that is explicitly satirical and comedic in nature, not to be taken seriously. The other, while it may some times have humor, is a news source that is supposed to be reporting the news. I just watched the clip, in my opinion they were trying to make Obama look "elitist" by saying that he ordered "fancy" mustard and also showing the Grey Poupon commercial where rich people are using it. I dont watch this show normally, but are their segments generally satirical in nature? Because if they are a comedy/satire show its one thing, but if its a news source then I guess Im confused as to why they are putting on a comedy show.

You can get your taxes reassessed. From their website: http://www.co.kane.il.us/soa/FAQs.htm My assessment is too high, what can I do? Contact your township assessor first, then you may file a real estate complaint with our office and a hearing will be scheduled with the Board of Review. You have until September 10th or 30 days from the date of publication in order to file a complaint with our office. http://www.co.kane.il.us/soa/assessorphone.htm How to figure assessed value from market value? Take the sale price and multiply by .3333 which equals the estimated assessed value. For more information contact our office.

Jordan vs. LeBron, who you got?
Soxbadger replied to Steve9347's topic in A and J's Olde Tyme Sports Pub
To those who say Magic did better because he didnt have the supporting cast, lets look at one of the most important games when Magic had to play without Kareem. It would seem that if Magic benefited so much from Kareem, that Magic wouldnt have put that good of numbers up right? So with out Kareem, Magic scored 42 points, 15 rebs and 7 assists. Perhaps if Magic didnt have the supporting cast he did, he would have put up even more points. I mean Pippen was a great defender, but I really dont think you can put him even close to the same level as Magic in terms of offense. Pippen: 16 points, 6 rebs, 5 assists and 2 steals. Magic: 19 points, 7 rebs, 11 assists and 1.9 steals. Lebron is 27, 7, 7 and 1.8 If Lebron had Kareem and played point do I think that he would put up similar numbers to Magic? Most likely. But to say today Lebron is better than Magic doesnt really do justice to Magic Johnson who in his rookie season won Finals MVP, who in his second full season won Finals MVP, who was named Finals MVP 3 times, League MVP 2 times, All NBA 9 times in a row, who is the career leader in average assists per game. Lebron is great, he has 1 MVP to his name, but in his 4 years of NBA play he has only been All NBA first team 2 times. Magic was All NBA first team basically every single year of his career. Magic, prior to MJ, was considered one of the most prolific winners as well. I guess I dont consider Wilt Chamberlain the best either, its not always about stats. -

An interesting question is, Why does no one consider a professional hockey team in Wisconsin? Wisconsin men's NCAA hockey sells out all the time and even the women get big crowds. -
SS2k, Great point, this idea even makes more sense with the ideas in the Fringe episode. (If you have seen the episode then youll understand, I dont want to post spoilers about a show thats less then 1 season in because people may pick up Fringe in the future.) The idea would be that Desmond wasnt seeing the future, but instead was seeing alternate realities where Charlie died in different ways do to different actions by different people. But in the end, it didnt matter because what happens happens, it just some times takes different routes to reach the same end.

WHAT? Magic Johnson averaged 20 points, 11 assists and 7 rebs. (Career) Lebron James 27.5 pts, 6.7 assists and 7 rebs. 4 more assists > 7.5 points Especially when you consider Magic was a 6'8 POINT GUARD, where as Lebron is a small forward/shooting guard. Its not even a great comparison because they both played very different positions, and Magic never was really the "scorer" with Kareem already there. At age 22 Magic averaged 18.6 points, 9.6 rebs and 9.5 assists. That's basically averaging a triple double. Lebron is good, I just doubt that he could play point guard as well as Magic, where as Magic could easily have been a SF/SG and even played Center. -
I watch Fringe every week.

Well I was going to guess that it was an erectile dysfunction drug because most likely it contains some sort of steroid to "get it up." We will see what baseball says if he has a valid prescription.

Soxbadger replied to Steve9347's topic in A and J's Olde Tyme Sports Pub
Ill take Jordan. Being the biggest, fastest and strongest, doesnt necessarily equate to being the best. If you are talking about getting them both at the same age, Id take Jordan. Now if your really saying that youd take present day Lebron over present Jordan, than ya Lebron wins. -
Im starting to wonder if alternate reality theory. Last night's Fringe went into it a little, but im starting to wonder if perhaps Lost is using the same idea. (Im pretty sure Fringe is done by Abrams as well.) What it would mean for Lost is that the characters have not only traveled in time but they are in alternate time line where it always happened that way. For example if you look at the Chang video posted above, Chang appears to be talking to Faraday. One explanation is that Faraday is saved some how. The second explanation is that in that time line when Faraday came back to the island, Dr. Chang believed Faraday therefore Faraday is never killed by his mother, but instead goes on to make that movie with Chang. Another example could be the purge. In the original time line Ben is responsible for killing all of the Dharma initiative. Perhaps in another time line the A-Bomb kills all the Dharma followers. They can already occupy the same space and time, so maybe multiple time lines is at work.

I dont think Denver will be a bottom 5 team, I do think that there is a very high likelihood that the Bears finish with a better record than the Broncos. Which is why I would have traded the Bears pick before the Broncos pick. Bears play in the weak NFC Central and were close to making the playoffs last year with Orton. They upgraded to a Pro Bowl QB without really losing much from last years team. Granted the Broncos play in a weak division but I think that the Broncos are closer to KC than what you might think. Obviously the Raiders are a lost cause and that will most likely be 2 wins, but I can see them easily losing to the Bengals and Browns. -
Youre 100% right that in a past episode they showed his kids in the future and said "This is what you would have looked like had it worked out." But I also seem to remember another episode where the "yellow umbrella" blocked the viewer from who he was with. Obviously this episode was a teaser.

Why do people blame Walker all the time? Its not like he is being given prized hitting spects who have amazing ba, obp and ops in the minors and then turning them into crap. Most of the players Walker has to work with, are what they are. But no one even mentions the fact that when Dye came to the Sox he was brutal at first(can anyone remember the "Dye Raise from the Dead"). He has since become more productive with the Sox than any other team he has played with. I think the Sox hitting suffers from talent, not from coaching. If he had players like Carlos Lee, Ordonez, Thomas, Ventura, coming through the minors our offense would be fine. Its not like CQ has done horrible with the Sox...

I used to dislike Noah greatly (UF of player didnt help), but watching him this series I actually liked what he was doing. Unlike some players on the team he isnt going to be selfish and he always is out there giving 100%. Maybe his scoring ability is limited, but he makes up for that by not trying to be an offensive threat. The player Im most down on is Ben Gordon. I know some people love him, but he is just way to selfish for me. Every time he comes off the bench, etc he always takes a shot to try and prove that hes really the man. -
Kap, Question about Corporations relocating. Business law is not my area of specialization but I was under the impression that in order to do business in most states you need to register or file something with the secretary of state. (Illinois you can register as a Foreign Corp or you can file an Authority to Transact Business). Now here is where my question is, if you are a corporation of Japan and you do business in Illinois, making a profit off that business in Illinois, do you have to pay Illinois/US taxes on the profit made in Illinois? Ive always thought that the Foreign Corp had to pay the Illinois/US taxes, but Im just not sure.

I think what he meant to say is that usually when teams trade their next years first, its because they believe they are on the brink of contending. Therefore their 1st is most likely going to be a late round pick, so they are getting a guy in the 2nd they want. McDaniels traded the Broncos pick which could be a very high pick. -
