The only way this happens is if Kenny already had another deal in place...like getting Santana from LA.

Crap...I thought this was about the movie... That squirrel and his nuts...HIGH-Larious

When I read the title of this post, I thought it was a story about Paris Hilton heading down to promote a movie in Australia.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 19, 2008 -> 08:54 AM) It looks like it should be out in the next hour-ish. We are still planning on playing. Well...my director called us into rehearsal today (it was TBA) after a not so inspiring rehearsal last night. I was hoping and working on getting out of it but I can't. So I have to be at the theatre from 12:00 til 5:00. Sorry guys. It sucks. I want to play softball.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 10:29 AM) Wall-E is getting not just good, but downright spectacular reviews. I might have to go see that this weekend. I just got back from seeing WALL-E. Simply astounding!!! Pixar is not making animated films. They are making movies that are beautiful, funny, emotional and thoughtful. The kids in the audience were transfixed! The first part of the movie was like watching a Chaplin film and the kids loved it. No dialouge, just beeps and body language. No hip Zebras, Smart-ass Will Smith-fish or Neurotic Bees making cutsie pop culture references. Just simple, haunting and amazing. This is not just one of the best animated films in recent years, but one of the best FILMS...period. How serious is Pixar on making movies? They hired Roger Deakins, who is the cinematographer for the Coen Brothers, to be the Director of Photogrphay/Visual Consultant for WALL-E. I dare you not to want to hold someone's hand after this film. You'll see why.

Does it come with a Hot Chicks Room?!?

My neighbor had a loud ass dog next door that I couldn't get through to, I called Joe Pesci and he straightened that c***sucker out in one visit. So I've been praying to Joe for about a year now. And I noticed something. I noticed that all the prayers I used to offer to God, and all the prayers I now offer to Joe Pesci, are being answered at about the same 50% rate. Half the time I get what I want, half the time I don't. Same as God, 50-50. Same as the four-leaf clover and the horseshoe, the wishing well and the rabbit's foot, same as the Mojo Man, same as the Voodoo Lady who tells you your fortune by squeezing the goat's testicles, it's all the same: 50-50. So just pick your superstition, sit back, make a wish, and enjoy yourself.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 04:26 PM) Wanted will be the first movie that I go to the theater to see in several months. The trailer looks cool as hell, and now its got a perfect 100% on rottentomatoes so far Its only one review and it's by Brad Pitt. I don't count it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 02:09 PM) I don't want any President telling us what car to buy/build. The market needs to decide that, not the government. Shut up and eat your vegatables!

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) You are aware Joe Pesci is still alive, no? Perhaps you meant Bruno Kirby? George Carlin, in his routines, said he worshipped the Sun (because he could see it) and prayed to Joe Pesci (because he was a good actor and it looked like he could get things done).

David Bowie would be so happy!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 13, 2008 -> 04:01 PM) Well I guess this is as appropriate a place as any to post this: QUOTE Why Can't I Own a Canadian? October 2002 Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a east coast resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them: When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians? I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here? Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die? I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. Your devoted fan, Jim I'm not sure thats an acutal letter. It seems to be a recap of the speech Martin Sheen made in the West Wing to a "Dr. Laura-esque" character. Here's that scene:

RIP. A legend. A voice of a generation. May his frisbee soul never be caught on a roof...let it fly forever in the wind!

But since we are aleady discussing it: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-j...0,5300636.story

WE SHALL DRINK THEIR MILKSHAKES!!!!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 11:33 AM) This bears repeating. and repeating

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 08:54 AM) I know Colbert was. They both were. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dana_Carvey_Show Looking at that cast and writing staff..It was loaded!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 08:17 AM) Didn't the Cubs play a one game playoff to get into the playoffs in 1998? To me that would be the biggest series. This series is fun and all, but you have to pick a September series where the playoffs are on the line for the biggest. Yep and Gary Gaetti hit a home run to help them win.

QUOTE (Steff @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 09:15 AM) Both Disney and Nickelodeon seem to have grown up way to fast over the past couple years. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is no appropriate programming for Bri when she's the Boy's age. BTW, I got the pics of the linebacker!! LOL...he is HUGE! Not Maury Povich Huge...but wonderfully chubby! Already on Stage 2 baby food. Next month...Steak!

QUOTE (Steff @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 08:59 AM) Exactly. Laughter all around at kids blaming movies, tv show, etc... but these kids are at very impressionable ages. If their parents aren't there to explain to them that it's not real life they are watching, they don't know any better and the odds are good they will travel that path. The Boy (9 years old) loves those Disney Channel shows, but we felt sometimes they were making him want to grow up faster and be that "cool" teen who is a rock-star, wizard and lives in a hotel. But we have long talks with him about reality vs. TV. Thats all it takes parents...talking and listening to your kids.

BTW, I want to congratulate all who hate Jay who visit his column on-line or buy the paper to read him. You helped him get his new 3-year deal. If you don't like him...don't read him.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 01:10 PM) I remember the "Dana Carvey Show" that lasted like 4 weeks because he did something pretty offensive. It was hilarious stuff. Wish I could remember why it was yanked by the network. Weren't Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell on that show?

QUOTE (TCQ @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 09:39 AM) I dont know if a lot of you guys have read the sun times this morning but mariotti wrote some of the most biased tasteless trash i have ever read. He actually says in the article how members of the media are not biased and are not fans and then proceeds to put all of his focus on ripping Kenny Williams and Ozzie. He makes them out to be evil hating people, and paints Jim Hendry and Lou Pinella as world class heroes and first class citizens. I have never read anything this biased since i watched "Triumph of the Will" by Leni Reifenstahl (Nazi propaganda from the 30s". One particular thing that made me laugh was how called Ozzie Guillen a jerk because he jokingly said that it took a while to find a double for piniella in that commercial they did because of his waistline. I watched the interview yesterday he was laughing when he said it. Both managers have had nothing but good things to say about each other. There is so much bias and generally disdain for the White Sox organization in his writing its almost a joke to even read it. I am livid and i hope the Sox kick their ass even more now, but then that will make us a classless organization because no one is supposed to be the blessed cubs after their hundred years of god awfulness. Its just another year, and when September rolls around cubs fans will once again repeat their ingrained mantra, "Maybe next year." I'm confused by your statements...What is your connection between Mariotti and the Cubs?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 08:45 AM) Or the "Finish f***ing High School and Go to f***ing College or I will kick your ass" pact my dad made with me... So I guess your virginity pact with your father was an unspoken one? Btw, nice job finally breaking it... Seriously, There seem to be a lot of factors out there, media-wise, forcing young boys and girls to grow up fast. Parents need to get a hold of them and see what they are watching, listening to and what is being marketed to them..
