THREAD JACK ALERT

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 03:12 PM) Steroids don't improve your vision and make you judge the strike zone better. Steroids don't improve the likelihood of you making contact with a baseball. No, but imagine if Griffey had done it (that feels so awful to even suggest) and avoided injury.

I eat candy. I mean like lots and lots and lots of candy. I also watch cartoons from when I was a kid. Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, etc.

Apparently a lot of people hate Carlos Mencia, so I'll toss him into this thread cuz I like him

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 02:45 PM) Hip-hop music is music for performers who can't make real music. It's an entirely different genre/form and really shouldn't be evaluated the same way. That said, many of today's hip-hop artists (especially in rap) really blow ass and are an embarrassment.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 02:27 PM) It's the other way around for me. When I met my wife she didn't even own a TV...or a microwave. Insane. When we moved in together I went ahead and bought a TV and got the DirecTv HD package but to this day we have no microwave. lol, the microwave is as critical as a stove or refrigerator for me. Oh, I despise Lil Wayne btw.

http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/01/t..._president.html Tons of good pictures here. I was gonna link individual ones but it's better to just click and see for yourself.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 02:11 PM) Yes, I too hope all shady activity by our government never comes to light! No that's not the reason. Certain things are just not meant for public knowledge (I'm in no way advocating torture here btw).

It's ironic that the Obama administration doesn't trust the press any more than the Bush administration ever did.

I don't care about TV that much anymore. In fact if I didn't like sports and video games so much I could do without it entirely, except watching the occasional DVD. I only have DirecTV because my wife insists on having it because she's a TV addict.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 10:50 AM) I am amazed at how many men leave the bathroom without washing their hands. You just wiped your asshole or held your johnson. Can you have the common courtesy of washing off your hands for christ's sake! Well, I figure my hands touch all kinds of nasty stuff all day (my keyboard, doorknobs, money, the phone, etc.) so at any given time they're probably full of whatever contamination. I wash my cock when I take showers and the only time it ever comes out to get a chance to get dirty is when I pee, and my hands touch it - obviously not counting getting laid, etc. I'm sure that my hands probably contaminate my cock more than vice versa. I should start a movement to have guys washing their junk instead of their hands when they come out of the bathroom (excluding times when they accidentally pee on their hands), it just makes more sense.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 11:30 AM) I think it's a far better product than the NFL in terms of entertainment value, but until it has a legitimate playoff and thusly a legitimate national champion, I can't argue much with people who feel this way. I watch the games sometimes only to see who's going to the NFL, after you watch enough NFL games the play just seems sloppy and second-rate. Which I could get past because it makes the game so dynamic (in the NFL often there's a lot of times where everyone is so good they can't even beat each other), but the playoff system is so retarded, and there's just dozens of bowl games between obscure teams where I wonder why anyone bothers to watch or care about them in any way.

I like Friends and Seinfeld. I could give a s*** if you don't.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 12:43 PM) Well, some girls actually enjoy giving them. If you find a girl like that you may change your opinion. Yes. Absolutely agree. Find one of those and they will gladly change your mind. They aren't even that rare.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 10:44 AM) 24 hour cable news will be the death of journalism in this country. Will be?

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 10:11 AM) Noticing a pattern here. Does it have to be a woman who fills the seat for two years? Yeah, that was definitely calculated.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 10:03 AM) Is anyone else irritated with the media coverage of the Obama family's fashion statements? I mean, seriously. If you are a fashion network or gossip channel or something, then I get having a special on Michelle Obama's dresses. But if I go to CNN or a major network or newspaper site, I want the news. And long diatribes and discussions of Michelle's dress does not f***ing qualify as news. They're seriously still talking about that? Or are they talking about other things she wears?

Black licorice. don't ask.

I'm really surprised nobody's mentioned this in this thread yet (maybe Balta did and I accidentally ignored him again, lol) http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Whistleblowe...rters_0121.html

I hate college football. Yeah, I said it.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 12:38 AM) I'm really starting to dislike the NFL. There's just so much mediocrity in the league that it makes for a lot of games that are hard to watch. What makes it worse is that it's REALLY hard to ignore as a fan of other sports, the sports media bashes you over the head with NFL coverage ALL YEAR whether or not something interesting is happening. I really don't care who's griping about getting the franchise tag in March or who's holding out of training camp in July, why don't you cover a sport that's actually playing games? I know a lot of people follow the NFL, but it really gets ridiculous. How about the NFL getting bolder and bolder about digging into our pockets because they're a monopoly and there's no viable competition? I love that.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 08:04 PM) Rep. Kirsten Gillenbrand to take Hillary's seat? Yes. Interesting, endorsed by both the NRA and the ACLU.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 12:18 AM) Giving blood When the person taking your blood doesn't know what they're doing.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 11:07 PM) Why does it have to follow the World Series? What makes the United States the king of the baseball world and have to make it go according to their schedule? money

Not worried about it, he said there'd be no waterboarding on his watch, as long as he and his boss are on the same page with what's supposed to happen I don't care what his personal views are. Honestly if we're gonna do shady stuff like that it really should be classified and we the public should never find out.
