I dont know.I personally dont hold Harold in that high of regard.Is he really statue worthy?

Yesterday was a f'ing experience.I have a Chrysler 300,this car cannot drive in the snow!I was stuck moving back and forth out my garage for like an hour!Just out of my f'ing garage!Then the way the snow was sloped it had me drifting into all the garbage cans every time I hit the gas to go in reverse or drive!Scraped the whole side of my car!Then all the god damn speed bumps throughout the whole alley made it into a big f'ing winter time circus!

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 2, 2008 -> 09:10 AM) And the 2007, "PA Award" goes to.... No dude.You would probably be the Rudy Guliani in that race.There are far better candidates than you.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 2, 2008 -> 09:07 AM) would that include % missed jokes? Absolutely.Mostly misses.

There should be an honorable mention for most attempts to be funny.I know my vote.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Jan 30, 2008 -> 12:37 AM) Has anyone heard the new Vampire Weekend album? The two songs I've heard thus far have been wonderful. I wanted to not like them because of their snobby,prepy,hipster Cape Cod look but they are awesome.Really diggin the drumbs and the violin thats on a couple of songs.First album I would give four stars this year.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 1, 2008 -> 09:53 AM) I love Lewis Black. Granted, he's never been nominated for a "Soxtalk Funniest Poster" award...but I like him. Agreed.When he gets in rythm on one of his rants he is classic.

This might not add much to this thread but I know Iam not the only one who continually confuses the Memphis Grizzlies,Charlotte Bobcats and the New Orleans Hornets.They are all the same damn team to me.

Wow guys,I totally forgot about those other ones.I wonder why, cause I really enjoyed most of those.I dont think the Stephen King brand was stamped as hard on any of them from what I can remember,but probably wrong.

I just seen The Moment of Truth for the first time last night.That show is absolutely brutal.I had to cringe and laugh histerically after every question.And the show doesnt feel any question is out of line. Have you ever smuggled drugs through your rectum into this country? Contestant-Yes. That is....................................................................................True. Now everyone is filled with glee even though your mother,brother,fiance,boss and best friend just found out you have dusty poo.

I watched Shawshank Redemption for the 181st time a couple days ago and it was the first time I realised it was based on a Stephen King novel.I was shocked,this story is a totally diffrent genre than anything else I have ever read of his.Does he have any other books written in this category?

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 30, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) Shut-up. You love my nerdy babble. Anyway, that kid asked! What was I supposed to let him do? Swim in a sea of ignorance when there was a cunning linguist right here to answer his questions? No, sir, that would not do. Thanx for clarifying.I wish I was a kid.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 30, 2008 -> 01:12 PM) From a production standpoint---they are MUCH easier to produce. It is a result of co-articulation. The spelling, I imagine, came AFTER the change in production. Soxy you mentioned earlier that languages are dynamic and meant to change.Do we just naturally "dumb down" words and expressions?Looking back to Shakespearian times the english language was obviously much more difficult to understand.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 02:35 PM) My male students. Although, I admit I did have one undergrad girl who seemed to feel that "nice tits" would be an appropriate remark to make to me. Alright!Now Iam officially turned on!Dammit!

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 01:59 PM) Hm, no win. Says who!Says whoooooo!

QUOTE(WHITESOXRANDY @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 01:40 PM) The only way that I would use Ozuna is as a DH so I would rather find another player that has speed and can bunt but can actually play some defensive positions adequately. Besides, Ozuna's best days as a utility guy are behind him. He's 33 and coming off a broken leg and speed was his best asset. I think he'll have negative value this year. So then why would you even use him as a DH?If he will have no speed and he has never had power why would DH benefit us?

For the record I dont speak like that.I just hear that kind of language often."Vomick",as in vomit is another word that puzzles me."Idear" instead of idea is commonly used."You's guys" is a Chicago favorite.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 12:33 PM) "Finna"??? What kind of stupid ass word is that? Example-Im finna go to tha sto.

You sound as if you are willing to go on the cheap when it comes to the mics.A good microphone is sooooo important to the professionalism of a production.

My how words evolve. Going to Goin to Gonna Fixing to Fixin to Finna

To be honest even if he past a lie detector test I would still think he did it.Lie detector tests are ancient and obsolete if you ask me.

When I think of a guy in the super utility role I think of a player that will bunt,hit to the other side,make contact and keep the ball in play,play some OF as well as infield,and actually enjoy doing it.Juan is not that.

QUOTE(lvjeremylv @ Jan 27, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) If we're dead-set on trading Crede, then getting a ML-ready starter in return is essential IMO. Trading him for prospects would be a complete waste, and would piss off many fans. If someone like Noah Lowry is offered in return, I suppose the Sox should take the deal. Just because KW is in "win now mode" doesnt mean he isnt allowed to make a trade and get spects in return.A quality trade is all Sox fans would want,we wouldnt be pissed off if we got a decent spect in return.
