  1. That's how he got his nickname?? You're shitting me. (;o)
  2. They've got to think of a different nickname for Raleigh. "Big Dumper" just makes me think of dropping a deuce.
  3. Cubs with 8 dingers through 7 innings today.
  4. Yes, statements by Hugh Freeze about playing by the rules, esp. in recruiting, can be given 100% credit.
  5. But that's just abysmal baserunning by the Cubs. Two guys get picked off 1B back-to-back? When's the last time that happened, for chrissakes? And Kelly had no business trying to score on the PB. As a catcher, he should know that backstop is close and that he doesn't have the wheels to get to the plate in time.
  6. Maybe it's just me, but it seems that over the past several years I see more and more instances of 18-wheelers and other large, slow-moving vehicles blithely puttering along in lanes in which they have no business being. Hey, you dumbass, slow-moving dipstick, get your ass over into the far right lane. *That's* the slow lane, i.e., where your slow ass belongs. And don't give me this shit about, "I'm in this lane so that it opens things up for people entering the freeway from on-ramps." Bullshit. I routinely see 18-wheelers in the center lane of 3-lane freeways even though the far right (#3) lane is wide open with no on-ramp in sight. Or worse yet, I routinely see trucks in the middle lane of 3-lane freeways going about the same speed as trucks in the right lane, which means that two out of three lanes are fucked up and everyone else is trying to get over into the #1 lane to pass their slow asses . . . which jams up the #1 lane. And don't even get me started about oblivious slow-moving motherfuckers in the fast lane who jam everything up behind them . . . I need to be the traffic czar for this nation. I guarantee I would fix some shit up real quick. Severe beatings for infractions of the types mentioned above would only be the starting point.
  7. The perceived issue with Dickel products is a Flintstones vitamin note in the taste. I haven’t really noticed it much, but then again I haven’t gone through too many bottles of Dickel.
  8. The Dirty Harry score he did was tremendous as well.
  9. It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. Whaddaya say? Is it the new Bluesmobile or what? Fix the cigarette lighter.
  10. Yep. He paid for the filming of that extra scene it out of his own pocket. And because filming on the ocean had concluded by that point, they had to film the scene in someone's (I think it was a producer) pool. They had to pour powdered milk into the pool to make the water appear murky and so that it would seem like the underwater shots that had been done in the actual ocean.
  11. Pics of ex and sister? There are rules here ya know.
  12. Obligatory . . .
  13. *Quint* Great movie. The monologue about the USS Indianapolis is terrific.
