"I've broken it down into three parts for you: "Professional Resume, Athletic & Skills Resume, and Dwight Schrute trivia" "How would describe myself? Three words: Hard-working, Alpha-male and Jackhammer!" This was more of a "bridge" episode. It is setting up plotlines for the upcoming episodes. But I agree, I wish there was more "Staples" action.

For every one "Joe Crede" there are ten "Scott Ruffcorns"

Eye hope you have a Great Birthday! Eye crack myself up...

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 10:46 AM) In a controversial move, President Bush has added a cute puppy to the pockets of the additional soldiers he is sending to Iraq to distract and soothe insurgents. Operation Shock and AWWWWWWW!!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 09:35 AM) See, and I actually respect him. It's too bad he probably won't get much traction. I think he'll garner serious attention, but not popular. I think he could be a serious VP candidiate for either Obama or Clinton. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 09:59 AM) McCain has a small chance of emerging as different, but unless he does something drastic, he isn't my first choice by a long shot. That Edwards blog posting literally scared the s*** out of me regarding him. I haven't seen that scary by a serious canditate since Ross Perot was running with his horribly destructive economic plan the first time around. I was a big Edwards supporter in 2004. His new blog postings have scared me, too.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 09:19 AM) Plus a Prez election amidst a failing war. And add a potentially viable Hispanic candidate to the female and african american ones. I forgot about Bill Richardson... He is is an incredibly viable candidiate.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 08:11 AM) Something different could be any Senator. Perhaps a war hero type, a Republican. Someone like McCain. What I am going to enjoy is the heavyweight primary battles for both parties. There are some studs running. People who can campaign hard with great oratory skills. I believe this cycle will be remembered for generations. On the Dem side you will have a couple people who could tear down barriers. Obama and Hillary are electable. Rudy and McCain to start the GOP would be an epic party battle. I wish there was a candidate in all this that I could really jump behind. Someone I would want to pound the pavement for. I don't want to be on the sidelines watching the body bags. I don't think we realize what an historic election this might be in America. Combine the factors of no incumbent running, the possibility of a female or African-American Presidential frontrunner, the state of the world and America's image to the rest of the planet...This has all the markings of one for the ages. I hope it lives up to the hype I am starting.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 06:18 AM) I agree with this totally. Everyone keeps saying "Its too soon, build your record" but campaigns don't work that way anymore. Its not about what you have done, its about what you have done wrong. Obama had to run now, or risk someone taking him down in between. I think it's that reason combined with the fact that in 2012 he would be running against an incumbent...Dem or GOP and in 2016 he'd be up against that VP, probably. The field is as wide open as ever right now.

We all are...act accordingly.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 17, 2007 -> 05:03 AM) Waay back in the 70s and early 80s there were coin op breathalysers and yes, it became a challenge to see how drunk you could get. I win...

They served me Beer when I was 12!!! Seriously, 3rd generation Sox fan...simple.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 17, 2007 -> 10:16 AM) Longer explanation is that we still have a great offense, the best in the division. We have a very good starting 4, plus about half a dozen guys potentially capable of putting up adequate numbers as a 5th starter. The bullpen is filled with flameflowers, and 3 guys who could be closers (or have been) on lots of teams. The defense is still very good, except for LF, and the guys really seem to like playing for Ozzie. Ditto

Being in Theatre, I know some very, very good singers. Not just "broadway" style, but "Pop" too. Two great singers I know didn't even get to see Randy, Simon, & Paula when they to audition. You see, you have to get past other judges first that they don't televise. Thos judges are looking for specific types that day and specific stories. My friends were told they were too good and that the Producers were only looking for "Bad" singers to fill the TV time since they had already seen enough good ones.

Stop Making Sense. Talking Heads. Best Live album and concert film ever. Period. End of disucssion. (though I am sure the discussion will, in fact, not end)

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 17, 2007 -> 07:16 AM) Do they carry 12X to fit over the suit? What suit? That's real fur!

I enjoy it. I've shopped there many times. I try to stay away from the $1200.00 shirts.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 14, 2007 -> 12:34 AM) I also liked Freddie last year.

Murder One. (A concept that would have been successful today due to popularity of serialized TV shows) Firefly. Freaks & Geeks

QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 08:18 PM) BEST. COVER. EVER.

I don't know if this has been said as I just glanced over the other posts, but my fave is "Take me to the River" by the Talking Heads

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 07:45 PM) seems like we have a hard-on for the pitchers in the Rangers system -- and I don't remember Texas producing many pitchers through the years. It's just not who you draft, but how you coach and train them. Case in point the Cubs: Great arms+Bad training/coaching = Injuries With the White Sox success over the years with Cooper, they feel they can harness the potential that other teams (like Texas) cannot.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 03:23 PM) If that wasn't the best episode of the season, its right up there. Ryan Howard: Hi. Hi. Hi. "I'm Flattered...I was his second choice...after 'pass'"

Kenny sneezes and many of you still think he should cough.

QUOTE(CaptainStrykez @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 12:43 PM) Well, we've been f**king it long enough...might as well. But we can't get Iraq pregnant where we've been f**ing it! Wrong place.
