witesoxfan Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 15, 2009 -> 04:02 PM) It's VEISHEA! Wite, gonna be in Iowa at all? It's a riotfully good time, though unfortunately I can only really get smashed Saturday night. Wish I could as I'd love to be there, but I have been absolutely ridiculously busy and the busy is culminating this coming weekend, which is Strollers weekend here at USD (when Strollers weekend is usually before Spring Break...they sucked this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I have a pair of shoes with those zip laces (the kind you just cinch up with a bracket, they are made of kevlar or something). Anyway, one broke, so Salomon sent me a replacement quick-lace. The directions that came with them are the most bizarre instructions I have ever seen. Here is a direct quote (misspellings and all) of Step 3 of the procedure... Pass the cable through the locker Adjust the corect lenght cut the cable en burn it Place the rung and the button That's it - that is the whole step. I can't even tell what that means. Burn it? Oh, and, this is accompanied by a tiny little black and white image of such poor quality that I cannot tell what I am looking at. Who gets paid to do stuff like this?

Soxy Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 So there's this old lady that works in my building and she has the WORST potty problem.

Although I've not played too badly this season so far. last night was like a track meet for us. We beat a team by slaughter rule in the 3rd inning, I have never been on a team that has done that before. I felt really bad for the other team, we put up 20 in the first inning(all with no outs), then we just pulled up and stopped taking extra bases. Its hard to determine when to pull back, the first game we played them we won 29-20, but we had a pretty hideous inning where we gave them about 10 outs Anyhow, my shoulder and quads feel like jello right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 20-0 after two and they called it. Our run rule is 25 after 1, 20 after 2, 15 after 3, 10 4 and after. We played 20 feet past the infield for outfield, if that tells you anything.

Balta1701 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Wow. I just put together a bunch of data sets, where a very well known professor has produced one data set, and I've produced another, and every analysis that's been done before now agrees with mine and says he did something wrong. That's kinda Freaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 So I'm fed up with cable and making the switch to direct tv. 200 buck rebate using Amex, and 10 bucks off a month for bundling with verizon, 10 bucks off a month for AAA and am supposed to actually save like 40 bucks a month once the teaser specials stop. Only thing Iwant to make sure is that the installation actually works and that they can use my preexisting cable. It would be badass if it works cause I'll have most all the Sox games in HD.

knightni Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 If you use a Verizon sponsored service for your internet, you might get espn360 for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Sweet, I'm planning on using Verizon for my internet and phone. I see they have 49.99 for unlimited local and long distance plus dsl. DSL will be a downgrade from my cable, but I'm pretty certain I won't really notice it. I just need to find out if I have Verizon in my area. I know fios isn't an option in my area unfortunately. But if all the installer needs to do is drop a line from the side of my house into the cable setup outside my house which will activate all my lines and than just plug in the boxes inside, than I'd be set.

lostfan Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) So my stepdaughter has this bully, or whatever, who kicked her and called her ugly last week, and then he did it again the next day. She kicked him back but he kicked her again harder. They're in the 6th grade, I guess the kid is fat and pissed at the world or something and decided to take it out on her. I said, fine, next time he does it, lean into him and knee him in the crotch as hard as you can. She was worried about getting suspended, I said if she did, that's fine and she won't get in trouble at home.

That should be the first step because then she should have free reign to kick him in the nuts because the teacher didnt rectify the problem. Completely unrelated.... I have been seeing a floating spot in my right eye for a couple days and its kinda freakin me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
