Exact same thing happened to me. I got hooked too. Took me about 3 of minutes of skimming through a couple of pages of thread titles 'til I realized the name was changed to "official 2007 impossible quiz thread," just in case you need that particular link since I had trouble going back to where I left off unless I used the original page I started off at. I'm now on 36 on More Bloons. Good stuff.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 18, 2007 -> 09:51 PM) If I remember correctly there were rumors back in the fall (before he signed his LOI) that he was going to back out of his Depaul commitment, but nothing ever materialized. According to this forum, it sounds like he may indeed ask for his release, who knows. Yes, there were definitely rumors of him backing out of his LOI, but then he himself came out in an interview and reiterated that he wanted to come to DePaul, quelled those rumors, and signed. And before that there were silly rumors started on some michigan sports message board that his recruitment was dirty with someone claiming that they had information they were going to reveal yet nothing came of that either. But that's all it's been, bulls*** rumors. I haven't heard anything of it so I'm going to take a wait-and-see approach and not worry about it. It is disconcerting to have to hear these types of rumors, always coming from other schools' boards, for the few DePaul faithful, and it would make my summer even crappier after Wilson Chandler leaving if it comes true, so hopefully all will be well and it's another garbage rumor. And as for the speculation that it's because Wilson Chandler is entering the draft, he would have been gone after next year, which would have been the much smarter thing to do, anyways. I would hope that wouldn't be his reason for wanting to back out. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 18, 2007 -> 11:45 PM) Another piece of proof that the most pathetic in the long line of Bruce Weber recruiting gaffes is not getting Dar after MSU got all their verbals. He was almost begging to go to Illinois and still didn't end up there. Uh, not how I heard it... Have to give Coach Wainwright credit where it's due for outrecruiting very good programs for both Mac Koshwal and Dar Tucker. I'm excited about our top 10 class coming in (well, now, hopefully).

QUOTE(jenksd @ May 18, 2007 -> 04:30 PM) But it's ludicrous how the onus is almost exclusively put on him regardless of what else happened during the game EVERY single time the Sox lose. It's annoying. Yes, yes it is.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 18, 2007 -> 04:04 PM) Bingo! Look at our talent level....it's nothing special. Talent, yes. Severely underachieving talent, but talent nonetheless. And although some of it is deserved, the Ozzie-b****ing has gotten way out of hand. At some point these pieces of s*** on the field have to PRODUCE.

How is hall looking behind the plate?

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE f***ING KIDDING ME!!!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE f***ING KIDDING ME

Finished Bloons and am on to More Bloons...got through 20 or so...good stuff...

There's like 8 marketing campaigns/slogans this year...

So, how do those concealed weapons laws work in day cares?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 16, 2007 -> 10:43 AM) Ozzie on Toby: Why does Ozzie always have to include lines like this? What does he gain by saying his guys are not comparable to some of the best in the history of the game? Um no s*** Ozzie. He seems to do this constantly and I have no idea why. When comparing Toby Hall to Gustavo Molina, he might just be Johnny Bench. He clearly means that the offense has been absolutely atrocious and although Hall will be an improvement, we can't expect someone coming off an injury to put up HOF numbers and give the team that huge of a boost. That's what I get out of it and I'm surprised people read it any other way.

umpire has money on the yankees, I see...

Only took 5 games for Gordon to show up...

stern has usually been very good about handing out suspensions, so I'm disappointed since the rule has been automatic ever since those knicks-heat brawls. And I refused to join the warriors bandwagon.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 15, 2007 -> 05:46 PM) He dominated in the NL East last night in the worst hitter's park in the majors. How can you say their bench is atrocious when they have a fantastic defensive back-up catcher, a good hitting outfielder in either Murton or Floyd, a very good lefty hitter off the bench in Ward, and an outfielder they can play at every position with some speed in Pagan? If their bench is atrocious, then our bench is the worst in the history of baseball. Their bullpen does suck though...Howry is a pitching machine. Cotts does have a much better offspeed pitch this year....at least Aardsma is doing very well though. Hmm, you seem to know the cubs a little too well...it's all adding up now.

Hate to say it, but under what it says the current rules are, it sounds like maybe he should not be allowed to until the proper rules changes and guidelines are put in place first to prevent more problems further down the line and assure a level playing field. But it's probably a moot point if he can't have the type of numbers to qualify anyways.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2007 -> 10:19 AM) I kinda figured you'd miss the forest for the trees on this one... Your carrying the torch in the plight of blondes is very admirable and fits well with the topic at hand. Carry on.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2007 -> 06:54 AM) When it is used to stereotype a group with a negative connotation it is just as much of a slur as someone referring to any other group of people negatively by a commonly accepted name. Telling stupid blonde jokes and telling lazy Mexican jokes fall under the same category. By themselves Mexicans and blondes don't have negative connotations, but when you start attaching labels to group based on mindless stereotyping, the somehow it changes for one, but not the other, group. Certian races seem to have this same "immunity" from protection as well. It didn't say "Mexicans and span" on the backs of those shirts...

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 14, 2007 -> 06:45 PM) Pop the top right ice balloon, so you have something to ricochet off of, and then you will be able to bounce and destroy the stuff on the left. Thanks. I got up to 45 now so 5 more to go. I like how it saves where you leave off.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 12, 2007 -> 11:16 AM) Angel Garcia has a top 3: IU, Florida and Memphis. No mention of Depaul and Louisville appears to be no higher than 4th. Not surprising that DePaul is no longer mentioned after those bigger schools have come on strong. Oh well. Time to sign Teeng Akol. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 13, 2007 -> 03:49 PM) http://www.chicagohoops.com/articles1/fruendtnw.html That's a GREAT get for Northwestern, Fruendt is a really good ballplayer, impressive to see in person. I also believe he's a 150 player on Rivals, first time I can remember Northwestern getting one of those since uber bust Michael Thompson transferred in from Duke. DePaul was after him hard, making him a prime target, even though he wasn't reciprocating the interest and seemed to be waiting for a bigger school to come about (like wisconsin). So northwestern is very surprising. Unfortunate that so much time was spent recruiting him as many DePaul fans did not like that he did not seem interested, but at least he isn't an elite player, and hopefully Coach Wainwright can get another solid guy.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 14, 2007 -> 09:09 PM) Yep, remember the weird cover-ups he had to wear on his arm in HS, b/c of his tattoos. He has a couple more now, I think. QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ May 14, 2007 -> 05:43 PM) Skiles can't coach worth a s*** There's some thing I don't agree with, but overall he's a good coach.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 14, 2007 -> 05:09 PM) It's no Bloons or More Bloons. I'm the master of this game. Bloons 2 will be coming out soon; I'm pumped. I'm stuck on the 30th one in bloons. The brain one didn't catch my interest. Only got to about the mid-30s after a few tries but it gets boring having to rush through the first ones you know already to get to where you left off.

I had no idea "blonde" was a slur...my apologies...

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 13, 2007 -> 04:25 PM) Every crowd at a Bulls game is an embarrassment. OMG MOTHER f***ING DONUT RACE *5 minutes left in game 3 Bulls down 5* OMG THERE ARE f***ING T SHIRTS FALLING FROM THE CEILING!!!!!!! An embarrasment would be a half-empty stadium. I don't fault the crowds since we've been practically tops in attendance for so many years now, including some very atrocious years. I haven't had much interest to spend my money and see the team live for a couple of years now, so kudos to those who do. Anyways, I haven't been able to watch the game much after the half...did gordon and nocioni decide to show up today or same ol'?
