QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 11:00 AM) Most of these arrests occured in the same areas, Near 47th and Cicero and then further north near Armitage and Cicero. IIRC those areas were for years always crawling with hookers. How hard is it really to clamp down in those areas and scatter all the prostitutes?? My wife lived over there when we were dating (early 90's). It was always good sport to slow down near the hookers, then when they approached my car I would pull away and watch them scream and give me the finger. Ahhh, memories.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 23, 2007 -> 12:52 PM) The other night I finally saw a movie most people are shocked to hear I have never seen. I finally saw The Goonies. It was a decent movie, and my daughter loved it, but I don't feel like I have missed out on anything. Somehow, I never saw Goonies either. I don't even think I've ever stumbled across it accidently on tv. My wife loves it, though, so I'll rent it for my kids in a few years. I can't wait to watch Stand By Me with my son. He's 7 now, so I think I'll wait a little while on that, too. PS I'm not ashamed to watch Back to the Future every time it's on. My son alerts me every time the commercial with Christopher Lloyd comes on tv, "Dad, it's the guy from your favorite movie."

June 23, 2007 vs. the NY Yankees. Game 75 for the Giants. God, I hope this doesn't happen. Hank Aaron deserves better.

When I was in 8th grade (1986), I begged out of going to Bozo. Thank God. During one segment, Wizzo sat between my brother and sister and did his "magic." A later segment featured Pat (he took over for the Ringmaster, I think) doing some lame skit. Again seated between my brother and sister. I would have been so embarrassed to show up to school after that. I've never been on TV.

Didn't hear too much about this until today. Pretty grim picture of the All-Star weekend. http://sports.aol.com/whitlock/_a/mayhem-m...220103009990001

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 05:35 PM) Rather than convert them from 3-4 bulbs to one, why not just spend a few extra bucks on long lasting bulbs (halogen, I think?) that are more energy efficient. It would be expensive at first, but save on energy and they last several years. Just a thought? I've done that already, but I figure I can save even more if I convert the light fixtures from three to one as well. It's 118 units, so the savings should be pretty significant.

There was an article about this in the local paper Monday. www.iPodResQ.com www.nycipoddoctor.com www.ipodmods.com These were the sites mentioned if Apple won't help.

My wife (as usual) gets her way. We picked up the dog Friday, and the name is officially Guiness. I like the name now, I guess. And my kids love the dog.

Need a little help. I'm part owner of an apartment complex, and we pay utilities. I want to convert the ceiling fans from 3 or 4 bulbs to one bulb. I've done it before, but I can't find the caps to make this conversion anywhere (Home Depot, lighting stores,etc). Anyone know where to find these? Also, I want to find industrial carpet at a price cheaper than $0.53/sq ft that HD has. Any ideas? This is the type of stuff that should be easy to find on the net. Unfortunately, you have to sift through 10,000 web sites that are not useful before finding what you want. Help. The money I save will be invested in Sox gear and 30 packs of Bud Light.

Ken "Hawk" Harrelson was the first MLB player to wear batting gloves. He later perfected and patented the "Hawk Walk."

Cheers was so good. Way better than Gary's "Old Town Tavern."

Tim Hardaway hates Jay Mariotti.

I subscribe. Does that make me gay? http://www.outsports.com/ballin/022601.htm

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Feb 15, 2007 -> 12:09 PM) If it was a white man saying the same thing about black people we would be up in arms calling him a racist and bigot. Not calling him respectable because he spoke his mind. I hope Hardaway suffers the same way Rocker, Campanis, Jimmy the Greek, and Richards, et al.

I like to think that there are 3583 members you'd like to drink with even less than me.

Someone put steroids into my beer at a party in college. I got HUGE.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 31, 2007 -> 07:17 PM) Sheesh...Rush also? Ya know who I used to love as a kid, but fell out of love with, and have tried getting into again, but I am now convinced fooled everybody by recording albums of about 75% "filler", then having 25% really good? Van Halen I still like 1984.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 29, 2007 -> 04:02 PM) Day I was Born: Come On Eileen - Dexy’s Midnight Runners - No idea if this is a good song or bad one (maybe I'd know based on hearing it). It's either the best or worst song you'll ever hear. No in between.

Did any good songs ever make it to number 1?

Birthday - First time ever I saw our face - Roberta Flack 18th - Vogue - Madonna Wedding - I don't want to miss a thing - Aerosmith

Pretty sure I'm going to lose this one to my wife. Every suggestion I make, she asks me "What does that mean?" In other words, "We're going with Guinness!" I always wanted to name a dog Rudy (for Rudy Law). I suggested Rudy last night, and my wife gave her now patented response "What does that mean?" Rather than explain, I downed four raw eggs and looked forward to surprising her later.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jan 25, 2007 -> 10:39 PM) Just try to make sure it's something that you can live with yelling around other people if the dog runs off, so you're not yelling the name of a Disney character or something like that... I don't like my neighbor, and I joked to my wife that we should name the dog after him.

I'm listening to 10000 Maniacs "In My Tribe" right now. 16 Years ago my then girlfriend (now wife) got into a fight over this disc. We were freshmen in college, and she was having a party in her room. She was playing this disc, and I asked her if she had anything else. Something less depressing. She kept saying, "Listen to the words." My refusal to acknowlege the excellence of the words led to a biiiig fight. I still bring it up every so often. I'll just say "listen to the words." It's something we laugh about now.

It's a male boxer, and my wife's original thought was Bailey. Now she wants Guinness. I'm Irish, but I don't know that I want to go that way with the name. It shouldn't be this hard to name a dog.
