I bought my new vanity and medicine cabinet from Menards...

I think both of my dogs would be stupid enough to just keep running through it. That and their fur is so thick I'm not even sure they'd feel anything.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) Tenta had some damn good talent for a big guy in the ring to pull off some moves not known for big guys + also to not legit hurt anybody with moves. IIRC, one of his moves was really, really fake looking. It was where his opponent was lying on his back and he'd bounce of the ropes, jump up and sit on the guy. Except for the fact that his feet would hit the ground first and he'd still have another 6 inches to drop to land on the guy. I guess if he ever did that move for real there would've been a lot of broken ribs...

Wasn't he something else before he became know as Earthquake? Was he the guy that wore that blue African-like outfit? IIRC, he was a tag team with Tugboat (who also became know as something else).

Why do we say yesterday and last night? Why not yesternight and last day?

***You Are 34% Evil*** A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well. In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil. Not really suprising I guess. I've never been arrested, drunk, done drugs, shoplifted anything (on purpose), shot a gun, cheated on a girlfriend or been in a fight. I threw a couple of eggs at an old guy's house one time but felt bad about it afterwards. My conscience always gets the better of me...

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 18, 2006 -> 03:44 PM) Well then, I guess you've never heard of the Green Bay Packers. My team has a record sellout streak of 44 years. Every. Single. Home. Game. And you better believe it, that stadium is atleast 80-90% full, every damn game. I have never gone to a game there that has been different, and I have been going to games since 1992. I honestly did not know that. I don't really follow football much though... Aren't they also owned by the citizens of Green Bay? I know I'd go watch a team every sunday if I had a stake in their ownership so it makes sense. They also have a Yankees-like history of winning championships. The Cubs on the other hand are the only franchise I've ever seen that actually embraces their losing.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 18, 2006 -> 12:38 PM) I took that 1st part as more of a crack at Sox fans. No. Sox fans are just like any other fans. Put a bad team on the field and the fans quit showing up. Cubs fans are the exception to this rule. They are the only team in the 4 major sports (that I know of) that can have 3 million fans show up to watch a last place team. Of course having a major media outlet boasting about how "great" the ballpark is for 20+ years while essentially ignoring the other team in town helps too...

QUOTE(Steff @ May 18, 2006 -> 08:30 AM) Truly riveting last night :rolly ... I'm torn between the 61 year old trying to pass himself off as a 40 year old.. or the one that was looking for some cat action as my new all time favs. :headshake I had to LOL when I heard "You're naked, you're chasing the cat around and you have a tub of cool whip on the table..."

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ May 16, 2006 -> 12:31 PM) I was cleaning my garage a few nights ago and I found my Rollerblades. I remember my wife (then girlfriend) wanted to go rollerblading about ten years ago, so we both went and bought some blades and hit the road. Bought elbow pads and hand guards (or whatever they're called). After, oh, 30 minutes, I realized that I hated rollerblading. I never used them again. I'd give them to Goodwill, but I'd hate to see some bum in a "Frankie Says Relax" t-shirt rolling around town in my blades. In my garage they will stay. A constant reminder that my wife does not really know me and what I like to do for recreation. I have almost the exact same story. Mine are sitting unused in my basement. I used them a few times but that was it. They were fairly cheap though. IIRC, I paid under $50 for them.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ May 12, 2006 -> 04:17 PM) Concerned she might be pregnant, the girl visited a GP three times but tests proved negative. She learned the truth after buying a home-testing kit from a supermarket. She went to a doctor 3 times and they told her she wasn't pregnant. Then she goes and buys a home prenancy test for a store and it says she is so they believe that instead?

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ May 11, 2006 -> 10:32 AM) Bingo. We will never outdraw the Cubs, period. It's happened before (despite what the Cubune will have you believe) and I guarantee it will happen again.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 11, 2006 -> 01:48 PM) If I do decide to buy it, I'll be a first-time buyer. Having many more great games (does psp have any?) made me interested in getting it after having no interest at first and waiting to see what the came out with, and the much prettier design kinda seals the deal. I've been turned off by the touch-screen since the first time I saw it. It was a display model in a store and the screen was all scratched up. I was suprised the touch-screen still even worked... Suprisingly, there are more games for the PSP than for the DS. 367 to 326. I admit I've never played any of them though so I can't comment on how many of them are any good.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ May 11, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) 1st, I don't believe you can use the Sony PlayStation 2 controllers on PS3. The new PS3 controllers will not have rumble(absolutly terrible choice, I know), and will have to be wireless. I didn't figure that. I just like the fact that when you pick it up it looks and probably feels like what you're already used to from the PS and PS2. Compare that to the varations between SNES, N64, GC and now Wii. QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ May 11, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) 2nd, PSP is getting a redesign as well, so both companies deserve some critisism is that area(Even though I admit I'll be picking up the DS Lite when it hits). Really? I hadn't heard that. What are they doing it? My oldest daughter has a DS and now she wants a DS lite.

QUOTE(SmokeandMirrors @ May 9, 2006 -> 10:08 PM) Actually, the controller was changed. It no longer looks like a boomerang. Which is a shame.. now if you throw them in anger they won't return to you. If you go to ebgames.com and click on the PS3 link under Specialty Shops you can check out the controller. It looks exactly like the PS2 one, except it's wireless and has a guide button in the middle (not quite the size of the 360 controller guide button though). Ahh... It's good to see at least one of the companies can design a controller right the first time and stick with it throughout the newer versions of the system. I would hate having to get used to a new controller every time I bought the lastest system. QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 8, 2006 -> 10:43 PM) And I can't wait 'til I have my navy blue DS Lite at a very good price while sony is scrambling and knocking down the psp price. So Nintendo is duping people into buying a newer version of the same thing they already have just because it's a little bit smaller and the screens are brighter?

I'm pretty much righty the whole way. I throw like a girl when I try to throw anything left-handed. I can bat left-handed but not real well. QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 8, 2006 -> 12:25 PM) And my theory is lefties eat with the fork in there left hand, but unlike righties, we use our right hand with our knife and don't set it down. Righties tend to use the knife and switch hands when they do things, but than set it down. I eat with my right hand but if I have to use a knife for anything I'll eat with my left.

I'm left-brained. Does that count?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 5, 2006 -> 07:42 AM) Hands down, it's Uribe diving into the stands in the 9th inn... That is still one of my favorite PBP calls ever. "Did he catch it? Did he catch it? ... HE CAUGHT IT! HE CAUGHT IT!" Right behind: "OUT! OUT! White Sox winner! and a World Championship! The White Sox have won the World Series and they're mobbing each other on the field!"

The bank I go to has these little video screens in the drive thru that show the CNN news. This video was playing when I drove up.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 10:17 AM) Hmm thats a very good question. Well he will most likely hit #500 here, and he would win his first every world series here. It would be a very close call. However, he would probably go as an Indian. Didn't Wade Boggs win a world series with the Yankees, but still went in as a Red Sox? Wade Boggs was the reason MLB started choosing the hats for the players. He was going to go in as a Devil Ray because he signed a contract with them that had a condition that he would wear a Devil Rays cap in his Hall of Fame plaque.

Can he pitch? We had plenty of offense in 01-04.

Most bathrooms already have a urinal. It's usually called a shower...

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 07:37 PM) Back then they didn't have the technology. Nor was the Power Glove a Nintendo product. And I'm not sure you are getting it right. From my understanding in FPS games, the Revmote will essentially be a Light gun, while movement will be done with the nunchuck add-on. In Red Steel, the Revmote will also act as a sword. Nothing like this has really ever been tried. Not a Nintendo product? I don't know if it was made by Nintendo but it was certainly used on the system. It was horrible because you'd move the glove a certain way to make your character move and it wouldn't pick it up or he'd move too far or he wouldn't jump... Plus you constantly had to "re-center" it. The new technology may have improved it but until I see and try it myself I'm still going to be pretty skeptical. Call me old fashioned but what's wrong with sitting in a chair holding the controller with your hands and pressing the buttons with your thumbs?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 03:35 PM) A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work & life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen & returned with a large pot of coffee & an assortment of cups made of Porcelain, Plastic, Glass, Crystal, some ordinary looking, some expensive, some exquisite. He told them to help themselves to hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap looking ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and worse, you were eyeing each other's cups. Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it." So folks, don't let the cups drive you..., enjoy the coffee instead!! But I don't drink coffee...

I finally saw in a magazine how the new controller is supposed to work. I only saw it used for a couple of shooting games but basically the controller will act as the gun in the game. If you twist it left or right the gun in the game with twist left or right. Seems to me they tried this one other time and it was a pretty spectacular flop. Back then it was called the Power Glove...
