  1. It dominated the news cycle for like 3 years. I dont think they were concerned with what time of day they blew those towers up. As for a nuclear or bio terror attack, its unlikely. Al Queda is too splintered of an organization to pull off getting a nuke without us knowing about. Half these guys cant even answer their cell phones without a smart bomb getting crammed 3 feet up their asshole and you expect them to get their hands on a real WMD? It's cheaper, and quite frankly more effective, for them to keep doing what theyve been doing. Keep the civil war in Iraq going as long as they can with cheap and easy suicide attacks and let the US pour dollars down the drain there. Besides, 9/11 had a rally effect for America while the Iraqi insurgency has done a lot to tear this country apart. Nuke a major US city and 95% of our population will be ready to throw down with nukes of our own.
  2. This seems about right minus the top 4. I just dont think Poreda is a top 50 prospect while Viciedo, Beckham and Flowers probably are.
  3. I still think Lillibridge is the best player we got back. Or at least the one that we have the most use for.
  4. and that Beckham dude who isn't that far away.
  5. thats way too low for Lillibridge, coming into the year he was a borderline top 50 prospect and he got bounced around between AAA and MLB quite a bit.
  6. If we get 4 players back and three of them are Morton, Lillibridge and Flowers then I'm gonna throw a party.
  7. 1. Beckham 2. Viciedo 3. Lillibridge 4. Flowers 5. Poreda is that where it is now?
  8. Some of this money is probably going to be put in a "Quentin fund", if God plays well the first couple of months they'll probably resign him before his price gets ridiculous.
  9. We already got Viciedo, there probably isn't much money left over for more international players.
  10. thats pretty much the most badass thing i've ever heard.
  11. You all should be thinking of these poor models who starve themselves for their bodies. Imagine all the sacrifice they made and then this fatty just waltzes in without ever puking up a salad? For shame.
  12. That's a really bad plan. You're taking on a lot of reclamation projects and risky prospects at the expense of 3 pretty good (and proven) MLB veterans. I'm down for trading one of Dye/Jenks/Vazquez to a projection player, but all three for a batch of prospect is ridiculous. Especially now that we have Beckham, Viciedo and Poreda as a very solid top 3 in our farm system.
  13. False. Marketing campaigns dont cloud my judgment on something as important as beer. The person below me has posted in this thread before.

    Tipping

    When I'm back in Chicago and working I am borderline overboard on tips, there's been nights where I've tipped the servicepeople more than I've spent at the establishment. My philosophy is this: When I'm not saving up for my money to take down to college I make enough money at my job here where I can drop a good $250 in a night and get away with it. I usually have no intention of running up a bill that high so I tip everyone in the place like a madman the second I walk in. I get impeccable service, I wait a minute max for any drink. The people who work at these places talk to each other, and if the waiter gets $20 before he even takes your order you better believe he's gonna tell all his pals. It gets expensive, sure... but I really dont spend my money on anything else (no car and I despise retail consumerism) so I might as well have a great time spending it. This changes when I go back to school and am poor as hell, I still tip but never over 20%. Service is never that great down here anyways, I dont expect it to be. note- chicks totally dig it when you spend money like it's nothing (I know where that comes from), and it's a lot more fun for you and the people you're with when the entire staff tries to make all of you feel like royalty.
  15. True. The person below me works in a cubicle.
  16. Finally got around to it and I love 808's & Heartbreak.
  17. I was expecting so much more out of this thread judging by the title.
  18. False. Forever. The person below me believes in god.
  19. This is such a goofy little song.
  20. The White Stripes - I Want To Be The Boy Outkast - Love In War The Dismemberment Plan - You Are Invited Jamie Lidell - Figured Me Out Fugazi - Joe +1 The Grand Archives - Breezy No Breezy Beastie Boys - Looking Down the Barrell of a Gun Fleet Foxes - Your Protector (this is a b****in' song) Jens Lekman - A Postcard to Nina The World Inferno Friendship Society - Cathy Catherine
  21. Theyre waiting for the people named in the reports to die.
  22. The Tamil Tigers, a Sri Lankan insurgent organization. Theyre probably the most effective terrorist group in the world.
  23. I have these dreams where Yunel Escobar plays SS for the White Sox. Never want to ever wake up.
  24. I love all women, but with a gun to my head I'd say brunettes.
