  4. I think they Yanks have done pretty good since the 1920s...I dont imagine them not staying in the winning tradition. They ARE the winningest team in sports...
  5. Im as confident about this bet as I was about the Yankees

  7. Love-making British couple sparks emergency Police respond to apparent distress call from woman Updated: 10:00 a.m. ET Oct. 20, 2004 LONDON - British police sprang into operation after receiving an emergency phone alert from a woman in apparently in some distress — only to discover it had accidentally been made by a couple having sex. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6289011 *** I guess the pedal was to the metal
  8. Do you think Jeb is a reptilian? Why they lock their doors in Florida...
  9. We will see...I bet they pick up Pedro Martinez from Boston
  10. Do you crave financial freedom? Do you dream of one day owning that Aspen vacation home, or a cigarette boat that will rattle the windows of even the most sumptuous yacht? You TOO can get rich, if you merely follow my simple rules to financial excellence. It only requires 2 steps! STEP 1: Find a compulsive gambler, who happens to be a Republican. (Don’t worry! There are HUNDREDS of them!) STEP 2: Brag like a mad bastard about the poor re-election prospects of Bush. Raise your voice, and proclaim that ONLY A GODDAMN FOOL would think Bush has a chance in Hades of escaping humiliation on Nov. 2. STEP #3: Once this Republican is good and lathered up, say: “Oh YEAH? Well I bet you THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS that Bush will not win his home state!” And that’s it. You will become rich. I have made this bet with close to 70 Republicans. On November 3rd, they will have no choice but to pay up, once it is clear that Bush has failed to win the state of Connecticut. One of the people with whom I have made this wager figured out the trick. (We shall call him SATCHEL). Satchel looked up Bush’s place of birth on Google, and was quite shocked to see that Bush is a New Englander - born in that small Texas town of New Haven, Connecticut. But Satchel is a gambler of Good Faith. He admitted he made the Wrong Bet, and has paid me the $3000 wager in advance. I have used that $3000 to hire an Enormous Goon w/ Hairy Knuckles. He will accompany me on my November 3rd rounds, when I will collect my winnings from these SUCKERS and FOOLS. If they don’t pay up, this Goon will hold them down while I cut off their big toes. Have you ever seen someone with no big toes try to walk? It is near impossible. They look like a penguin on Quaaludes. Yes, they will have no choice but to pay up. In summation: You TOO can get rich off my scheme! We shall march on a road of bones!
  11. If you're not interested in going broke buying a home theater and the only feature you care about is volume, you can still find a speaker system that makes your MP3's sound beautiful. Docks from Bose, JBL and Altec Lansing are vying to be the iPod's official boom box (and charger). For peripatetic types, there are plenty of battery-powered speaker systems to plug any brand of player into. And while many PC-oriented sound systems include a slew of surround-sound speakers, there are great-sounding bargains in the two-speakers-plus-subwoofer (also known as 2.1) category. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/21/technolo...basi.html?8hpib
  12. WORLDBEAT MEETS ELECTRONICA", shouts the sticker affixed to Oyebo Soul's cover. Arsenal's web site also (somewhat inarticulately) exploits the genre-bending angle: "When others try to mix different influences the way these guys have... they generally end up with something similar to a JB-Coke... Arsenal turned their oyebo soul into pure brandy." Apparently this means that a couple of producers from Belgium have assembled a bunch of performers and accomplished musical alchemy. It's not as exciting as it sounds. Arsenal, otherwise known as Hendrik Willemyns and John Roan, have made quite a pleasant record. Oyebo Soul (which means "whiteboy soul", as nearly as I could pinpoint by extensive Googling) is chock-full of the promised hand drums, jungle sounds and summery multilingual singing, as well as the more digitized embellishments that make up the "ELECTRONICA" participant in this particular rendezvous. Electric piano and beguiling female "ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ba-ya"s churn up pleasantly hypnotic rhythms in "A Volta" (Oyebo Soul's Track That Got On a Bunch of Comps); "Longee" takes an approach that's more pop/rock than worldbeat, putting guitars in the forefront of its instrumental element. The (female) vocals in the beginning of the song reinforce this impression, sounding a bit like early Michael Jackson given free rein with a delay unit. Very pretty. What Oyebo Soul is missing is substance. The worldbeat influence lends Arsenal's work an organic feel, but it seems like just that: a loan. Good production is lovely, but it will only get you so far, while from a songwriting standpoint, melodies that aren't all that interesting to begin with are repeated too many times over the course of individual songs. I suppose you should expect some fluff from a disc with a track called "Mr. Doorman" about trying to get into da club, but Oyebo Soul, for all its scholarly mix of sounds, threatens to float away. -- Sarah Zachrich http://www.splendidezine.com/review.html?r...095416002203268
  13. Cant believe I have to eat crow on this one, but Boston deserved the win. I predict the Yankees will get Soriano back as well as some pitchers - they dont seem to have many of that species :reallymad:
  14. I think there is a big difference between the Bush administration and what the democrats have to offer. I'd reconsider, CA...
  15. Rocker Courtney Love pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct Wednesday for hitting a clubgoer on the head with a microphone stand during a performance. Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson granted Love a conditional discharge, meaning her case will be sealed after one year if she pays the victim $2,236 to cover medical expenses, joins a drug-treatment program and does not commit any other crimes. If Love violates the conditions, she could face 15 days in jail. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...e_courtney_love
  16. Police stun 75-year-old By Matt Garfield The Herald The Rock Hill Police Department is investigating why an officer used an electric stun gun on a 75-year-old woman who refused to leave a nursing home where she had gone to visit an ailing friend. http://www.heraldonline.com/local/story/41...p-3890580c.html
  17. A lot of people are up in arms about these machines. The head of Diebold, who makes them, is a Bush supporter..this does not sit well with a lot of people
  18. Well....I guess it was worth repeating :good job:
  19. Nope - Jon Stewart spins his own Crossfire appearance http://www.ifilm.com/filmdetail?ifilmid=2653047
