What's the difference between a truckload of dead babies and a truckload of bowling balls? A: You can't unload a truckload of bowling balls with a pitchfork. That's a classic. though I know the punchline as "You can't unload a truckload of ball bearings with a pitchfork.

Is Woodfield still the more expensive, bastard NW suburb brother of Fox Valley? Until I moved from Joliet to West Virginia, my family always went to my aunt Nancy's for Thanksgiving. Did the usual, my mom, aunt, sisters and cousins would prepare the food and talk about work and school and anything else that females discuss in groups. My dad, brother, uncle and I would watch football, giving assistance to the women if needed. Christmas Eve would also bespentat Nancy's. We would go over to her house for dinner, which always included crab melts and LIL SMOKIES~!, open gifts, then go to Midnight Mass. My family would then head back to our house where we would finish gift opening, then proceed to take pictures and be the happy family that most dream of for a few hours. After that, it was back to the usual bickering and squabbling and me kicking my younger sibling's asses. But for a few hours, everything was nice. Last year was different. I spent the entire holiday season here in The Valley, doing double-dinner duty at my house and my aunt's on Thanksgiving, managing to catch up with my cousins whom I hadn't seen in sometime and watching football with my grandpap/ Christmas was spent at my house with my aunt, uncle, my cousin Rachael and her boys. I took my younger cousin Jake to mass with me, and when we got back,we all watched "Little Nemo." After the boys went to bed, my uncle and I went down to his costume shop to get the bikes we bought the boys. Two guys dressed in all black entering a shop past regular business hours on Christmas Eve got us some looks from passers-by. When we got home, Rachael and I watched the Papal Mass. And of course, Christmas Day involved gift opening and a nice family dinner. And no one in my family died. I know that's a weird thing to say, but my family has a LONG history of death during the holidays. Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving have all had at least one death. I hope things go as well as the did last year.

She's got some decent legs (or at least had some). So she's got that going for her. And the fakest looking tits this side of Trish.

I thought that they made EVERYONE look inferior ro HHH...

I was rather impressed with the hangtime on the baby punt, personally.

Hell, I'd like it too, but there's NO WAY the Sox would dish out the cash that Beltran will demand. And I've heard there's been pretty much no talks between the Sox and Maggs, so me thinks he's DONE on the South Side.

You uh, you got any gum?

I had a bowl of maple brown sugar oatmeal and a glass of milk for breakfast. I don't eat lunch, and dinner will probably be a CCT from subway.

I still think Snoop has at least one more great album in him. His work on The Chronic and Doggystyle pretty much cemented his greatness and spot in Rap's hall of fame, but I really do believe he can drop one more great album. At least I hope so.

Cube's flow is just about average, but it's his delivery and tone that gets him high rating in people's eyes. At least that's what I think. I wouldn't put Cube in my top ten though. Off the top of my head I'd put (in no order, except for Rakim at the top): Rakim KRS-One Nas Tupac Big Daddy Kane Jay-Z Big L Biggie Chuck D Posdnous(possibly)

Billie Holiday- Billie's Blues Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald- Jazz is Their Old Man Slick Rick- The Great Adventures of Slick Rick Mos Def- The New Danger Social Distortion- Mainline

I was pulling for Eric Idle. Idle > all of the other Pythons

Nah, the title of the thread didn't read either "I'm Not Dead Yet, Motherfucka!" or "I Ain't Dead Yet, Nigga!"

Hackman in "Hoosiers" > Any of Jack's roles

Like they said on ESPN a couple of days ago, Spurrier will go to wherever the best golf courses are.

Well, congratulations for still being alive. Good job.

I gotta go with the Steelers. They've been playing great football since Big Ben took over, both offensively and defensively. Even Bettis got 65 yds. against the Pats on Sunday, which probably doubled his rushing total for the season (not sure of his exact stats).

I definitely wouldn't watch Celebrity Fit Club, or whatever it's called then, starvenger. Not only do you get Ralphie May, you get him with his shirt off. **shudders**

Yeah, that's my favorite. The $20 Sack Pyramid on The Chronic is a close second, and the record store bits from Outkast's Aquemini are wonderful too. In moderation, I think skits can be great. Those are all good, but my favourite is still the skit before "M-E-T-H-O-D Man" on Enter the Wu-Tang. "I fuckin' sew your asshole shut and keep feedin' you, and feedin' you, and feedin' you."

Add The Pogues to my list of bans that I miss.

"Cross Roads Blues"- Robert Johnson

And the critcally acclaimed songwriters loved throughout the 'Net. Anyway, I'm quite the Tupac fan, with Me Against the World being my favourite album of his. I think that it may be the best hip-hop album of all-time.

Chistopher Hall formed a new band? NICE.

I'm workng tonight and tomorrow, so there will be no passing out candy or trick-or-treating for me. Last year I passed out candy, which was a bad idea. The kids didn't get too much, due to my eating a majority of said candy.

The Black Crowes Blind Melon Alice In Chains Pavement Jeff Buckley-- once again, no digging up. Same goes for Shannon Hoon Soundgarden I'm surprise no one has mentioned this one: FAITH NO MORE
