Quick question for any of you knowledgeable on this sort of thing: How many calories would be burnt in a 13 kilometer cycle that takes about 40 minutes?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 03:38 PM) Good work man. I've been trying to shape up a bit, but the damn calories in alcohol always sidetrack me. Ah, the demon drink! Yeah, it's a killer. I haven't had a drop in six weeks, so I'm sure that helped a good bit.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 02:04 PM) I'll be there. By the way, not a big deal, but this is a 6:10 start tonight. Which means I'll be avoiding here, Facebook and anywhere else that can give the game away before I get to watch this tomorrow morning. Enjoy, pitts, old boy!

Nice win. Just watched it there earlier today. Thought Hawk was going to explode with joy at Gillaspie's (I think) homer.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 04:25 PM) Got you both beat. Never seen a single episode of the Wire OR the Sopranos. And to really piss you all off, I've only seen the first few episodes of Breaking Bad. Ha! You just surrendered your lead... I've never seen any Breaking Bad. See where showboating got you.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 04:11 AM) Yeah...still trying to figure out what to do with the groomsmen...I really don't even like the idea of them all wearing the same thing... If it's any help, I had my new suit and I didn't dictate what sort of suit my brother (who was my best man) wore. I got him a tie and, knowing my brother, I'd say there's feck all chance that he actually bought the suit 'specially for the wedding. So, there was no hassle there.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 08:12 PM) I was thinking I would do the same, JD...two can play at that game, right? Definitely. And remember, the shoes maketh the man.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 08:02 PM) Yeah, I don't think I can bring myself to rent...usually, the groom's tux is actually free if you bring your groomsmen in to get theirs there. And NOOOO she is not choosing what I wear. I am one dapper S-O-B...if I am paying through the nose for these pictures, I am going to look like one bad mfer! I bought a suit. A snappy black suit, white shirt and gold tie, with cufflinks that had belonged to my Grandad. Didn't let her see it 'til the day. I've gotten great wear out of the suit since.

Ok, so, if I was going to watch all the episodes of the Sopranos or The Wire from start to finish, which show should I do first. I've only ever seen a very few episodes of the Sopranos too.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 02:51 PM) Great job, man! Once you start you can't stop! Yeah, it's just keeping the momentum going that's so important. And, trying to stay injury-free so as not to have to stop. Once you stop, it can be literally years before getting back into the swing of it. Thanks, man.

Been eating well and exercising recently and it's starting to show, thankfully. I tried on some jeans yesterday and I'm back down to a size that I haven't been for about six years. I was chuffed with myself - great motivation to keep up the work.

My confession is that I've never seen a single episode of The Wire. It's somewhere on my to-do list.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 02:37 PM) Such a rip-off. When they are mass-producing that many plates of the same food, it's never that good. Anyway, how many weddings have you been to where the great food is the first thing you remember? I barely remember what I had for dinner at the wedding I attended last Saturday. Yeah, the banquet style stuff is usually fairly mediocre.

Re: the video. I wasn't that pushed on getting a video done for ours, but it was important for my wife so we went ahead an got one. I have to say, I'm delighted we did. It was really well put together and we've had some great laughs watching it. Haven't watched it in a good while now, but it will be nice to dust off and look back at in the future. I'm glad we have it. Just don't go forcing others to watch it! For us, it was a great help having a wedding planner as we were married in Belarus, so were making the arrangements from a long distance away. I also made sure to have 50/50 input in any of the decisions (apart from her dress, obviously!). The main thing was that everyone had fun. The crew that assembled for our wedding really went full throttle - we had an absolute blast. And, anything that didn't go according to plan on the day - what's the point in stressing about it? For not much over €12,000, we sorted all the various ceremonial expenses, transport, photos, video, entertainment, DJ, food and drink for a two day wedding with about 70 guests. But that was in Belarus.

Would be nice for Danks to notch up a 'W', but, well, let's just see. Our recent record against the Os, putting aside our recent record full stop, doesn't inpire optimism. Konerko back today?

Fabulous opening post. Totally bonkers, but enjoyable for that.

###k!

I'm in!

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jun 22, 2013 -> 09:50 PM) Stones is one of Hawk's best nicknames of recent. Crain gives zero f***s. Makes me smile every single time I hear him say it. A White Sox win - a good wind down to what has been a really good day for me. Now for a film before bed. Good night White Sox fans!

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 22, 2013 -> 08:11 PM) And there's a lead. Great stuff. Was listening to the first three innings coming down the road from Belfast, losing by one. Just sat down now after a great day to watch us score two... Don't stop now BOYS!!!

Great stuff. Take that, Royals. Small acorns, and all that...

Well, it was only an aspirational thread.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 08:31 PM) Twins have good fans. They draw 30000 or more all summer and like to watch average to poor baseball. Solid. I heard that being mentioned in the broadcast from last night's or Tuesday night's game. Wonder what capacity their ballpark is? (I know I could look it up quite easily, if I was really bothered.)

Jesus Christ.... WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!?! YEEEEEESSSSSSS!
