They have one for the Brewers here too in January I think. It gets pretty nuts and people would wait in line for the Brauns/Fielders etc all day and thats the only one they get, if they got to them at all. It has gotten so crowded that this past year they had random drawings just to get in line for the Braun/Fielder/Gallardo/Uecker etc type people.Good luck :thumbup:

If you scumbags are done making fun of my poor five year old son, I'll note that the Rangers just signed Joe Nathan so they can put Feliz in the rotation.Is this a good move, Frosty?

Kyle Orton released. Rumored to be the Chicago QB by Sunday. Sconch, THIS is the year. :thumbup:

:shrug: He wasn't too horrible when he was in Chicago.

No, but wouldn't you want to give the new kid a chance? You know what you're getting with Orton (which isn't much) so I think there are decent odds the Caleb kid is just as good, if not better. Picking up Orton makes some sense for security reasons, but this new Martz offense isn't what Orton ran before with Chicago. Frankly, Bulger or David Garrard may be a better option here.

:confused: I never said I thought he was going to be picked up by Chicago (probably won't) nor did I say I would be happy if they did. Thanks for the input though, Captain Shark Pool.

:shrug: Your shrug implied to me you were okay with it. And Aaron the "new" meant new to the starting role. I think the fact they went with him over Todd Collins is pretty telling.
 
I had lunch with a friend today and she brought along her boss (side note: WTF?), who has a handlebar mustache. I had to restrain myself all meal from asking if it was for Movember or if he just looks like that. I also noticed that, much like some guys who talk only to women's chests, I found I couldn't avert my eyes and ended up talking just to his mustache.

Irish coffee ready.

I'm not too worried about her spending too much money, just because it's not there.I have already applied for my new checking account and we have agreed on what I am paying for prior to the divorce being final and child support kicking in.

The last few weeks and especially days have been the suck with my stepdad fading fast and my own crappy health, her whole tone just set me off and made me realize I need to get the divorce done with ASAP.

You DID cancel all joint credit cards, right? My sister is about to embark on a divorce. I'm pretty sure there are 5-week old puppies with more functional knowledge about how a divorce should be handled than my sister. I think everything she knows about divorce she learned on Falcon Crest.

Good points. Kellen's Dad posted on facebook back in August that Verlander would win the MVP. :bowtie:Welcome home, Bender.Wish I could grow a handlebar moustache.Shuke, that sounds like fun.

PBR? You have have been so cool getting ridiculed by Tanner at Pixie's concert. You're a grown man, GM. Stop drinking like a d-bag 22 year old and man up with some Jamesons or scotch or at least a good beer.You're embarrassing yourself.(says the guy drinking alone with video games :lmao: )

Sometimes, I just want a cheap, drinkable beer. I'll pour a little Jameson later tonight when it's closer to bed time. PBR is a good pre-run beer.

The story is weird. She changed the grades of like 60 kids and then changed them back. But none of the changes would have helped any of the kids on her husband's team. It almost sounds like she was testing the system to see if she would be able to do it again for realsies.

lollerz - What's up DP. I've done nothing but worked since I've been there. I guess it's been 6-7 weeks or so and I've only managed to go out one time. I did get some sexor from a Costa Rican broad - actually this past weekend. Went out dancing at some weird spot and brought her home. Been hanging out with her really - other than that - literally nothing cool has happened. There's a lot of stray dogs though and I wanted to take all of them back to the states with me. That's probably the worst part. Otherwise it's been fantastic. I've been staying in San Jose with a coworker. Probably getting my own place by mid December. Hope all is well with you and everyone else here not named Woz. Can't believe you guys didn't chase that attention whore out of here yet.

The 32 Rules of Thanksgiving Touch FootballThanksgiving is Thursday and there's no avoiding it—make the drive, eat the turkey, pass the cranberry goo, and try not to say something you regret. If you can survive until dessert without crying at the table or sticking a fork in someone's arm, you're home free—just inhale the pecan pie, hit the couch, and pass out watching the NFL. The rules of touch football could have saved the "Wedding Crashers" from a great deal of pain.But for the love of Lombardi, go outside and play some Thanksgiving touch football. It's a perfect opportunity for family bonding, or at least calorie-burning. Unless you're in a fraternity or live inside a Tommy Hilfiger commercial, you probably play touch football only once a year, and Thanksgiving is that day.Here are the official rules of Thanksgiving Family Touch Football:1. If you have a healthy relationship with your family and speak to them all the time, you're playing touch. If you see your family only once a year, it's tackle.2. Find a nice patch of grass. It doesn't have to be big. You don't need a regulation 100 yards. Half the people in your family, if they ran 100 yards, they'd wind up in the hospital for a month.3. The game must be played before dinner. Nobody wants to play football after Thanksgiving. Nobody wants to wear pants after Thanksgiving.4. All family on the field! Everyone plays. Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, Cousin Jake, and Regis the one-eyed Jack Russell terrier. Don't laugh. Regis is the best receiver you've got.5. The following things are prohibited from Thanksgiving touch football: spikes, eye black, sticky gloves, Jets jerseys, running with a martini glass and a lit cigar, Norv Turner.6. A Nerf ball is okay but you should own a leather football. A leather football is one of the things every home must have, like a dishwasher and a bourbon distillery in the garage.7. No footballs with wings or propellers or tails or streamers. Here's a good rule: If the football would make **** Butkus throw up, don't use it.8. It's two-hand touch. One-hand touch is for lazy people who buy turkey sandwiches out of vending machines.9. Two completions is a first down. Not as simple as it sounds—just ask the 2011 Indianapolis Colts.10. No taunting, cursing or back-handed compliments. That's what Thanksgiving dinner is for.11. Unless you live in California, Hawaii or Florida or some fancy place like that, the ground is probably going to be squishy with cold mud, and someone in your family is going to fall down face-first and ruin his or her Thanksgiving outfit. This is not cause for alarm. This is the highlight of the game.12. It's okay to play with kids but don't baby them. Just because your 7-year-old niece is playing quarterback doesn't mean you can't intercept her screen pass and run it back for a touchdown. She's got to learn sometime not to throw into triple coverage.13. The count is five "Mississippi." And it's a full four syllables—not a rushed "MISS-IPPI" and knocking grandpa to the ground.14. But if you are old enough to have grandchildren, and you sack the quarterback, and do an elaborate sack dance, you will be worshipped forever.15. Keep the Tebowing to a minimum. The fad is already old.16. No, you don't get to be "permanent QB." Not if you want anybody to like you.17. No show-off football lingo. No screaming "trips left" or "zone blitz." Uncle Dale doesn't want to play the "nickel package." He wants to get this stupid game over with, have a vodka and stand in the kitchen eating stuffing with his hands.18. But there's always one control freak who wants to diagram elaborate plays. Just listen to whatever they say, and forget it immediately.19. There are only two plays you need for touch football: "Everybody Go Out" and "Everybody Go Deep."20. No, that running play never works. Ever.21. Don't throw the ball too hard. This is the mistake a lot of touch football QBs make. They see an opening, and they chuck it 99 mph like John Elway, and peg Aunt Frances in the neck.22. A little pass interference never hurt anyone. Don't be a wimp.23. If you throw six interceptions in a row, let someone else play quarterback, or sign with the Washington Redskins.24. Three-minute halftime. Don't kill the momentum. Anything longer, and aging muscles seize up. Remember: if Daddy sits, Daddy is d-o-n-e.25. If you're playing on a city street, please don't dent the blue Honda, or I will find you.26. If you're a random guest at Thanksgiving, it's your job to be good at touch football. Lie and say you "played a little" at Alabama and pray you don't completely embarrass yourself.27. If you find yourself surrounded by middle-aged men in blue jeans and a quarterback who keeps getting picked off, you're not with your family. You've accidentally walked into a Brett Favre Wrangler spot.28. Punting is okay, but it's hard. You know that weird fact about how hippopotamuses kill more people than lions or tigers? Well, punts are the hippopotamuses of touch football. Botched punts break more windows and hit more cars than any other play in the game. You can look it up. Be careful.29. Goes without saying, but if it snows, it's a classic.30. Take it easy. You don't want any injuries that can't be treated with a bag of frozen peas.31. If you win your game and stand undefeated, please let LSU know you're available to play in the BCS championship.32. When you think about it, there's really only one rule for Thanksgiving touch football: Take your shoes off before going in the house, or Mom is going to kill you.

Busting the Sugar-Hyperactivity MythAre you convinced the reason for your son or daughter's rowdiness lies in a box of Milk Duds? You're not alone.By Michael RegaladoWebMD Feature Are you convinced the reason for your son or daughter's rowdiness lies in a box of Milk Duds? You're not alone. Many concerned parents and health organizations believe there is a link between a child's diet and behavior. The latest group to join the debate is the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest, which recently released a report charging that the government, professional agencies and the food industry have been ignoring evidence that diet affects behavior. However, the majority of studies so far haven't found a connection, and most in the medical industry maintain there is no known link between sugar and hyperactivity.Still, many concerned parents feel certain they've seen a cause-and-effect relationship between sweets and rowdiness. Admittedly, more research would be needed to completely rule out the possibility of a link, but there are many plausible reasons other than sugar why a child may be bouncing off the walls.Where Did the Sugar-Hyperactivity Theory Come From?The notion that food can have an effect on behavior grew popular in 1973 when allergist Benjamin Feingold, M.D., published the Feingold Diet. He advocated a diet free of salicylates, food colorings and artificial flavoring for treating hyperactivity. Although Feingold?s diet didn't call for eliminating sugar specifically, it did suggest to many parents that food additives might be better avoided. Little surprise, then, that refined sugar soon came under scrutiny.Then a 1978 study published in the journal Food and Cosmetics Toxicology found that hyperactive children given glucose tolerance tests had results that suggested reactive hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). As yet, though, there are no good theories to explain the connection.What We Know About SugarIn the past 10 years, several studies have examined the effects of sugar on children's behavior. Here are the aspects of the studies that make them credible: Known quantities of sugar in the diets were studied. The studies compared the effects of sugar with those of a placebo (a substance without any active ingredients). The children, parents and researchers involved in the studies never knew which children were given which diets (this is known as a "double-blind" study and helps to prevent unconscious biases from affecting the results).An analysis of the results of all these studies was published in the November 22, 1995 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The researchers' conclusions? Sugar in the diet did not affect the children's behavior. The authors did point out, though, that the studies didn't rule out completely that sugar might be having a slight effect on a small number of children.

Need help on a big decision.Taking my son to Redsfest this year, where you can meet/get pics with/get autographs from a bunch of current and former players. It's a two day thing, Fri and Sat. My son says every player on the team is his favorite but he really likes Bruce, Votto, Phillips. Votto and Rolen are only going to be there Friday night. However, I won a lottery to some exclusive autograph session with Cueto on Saturday. I've never been to this thing and have no idea what the lines are like for the open autograph sessions. I guess they have some kids only lines which will be good.Friday or Saturday?
