True dat! If you want role models, sports isn't the place to turn. Teach your kids to enjoy sports, but idolize those who warrant the affection, thats the way to do it.
Dude, get your arguments straight. Ever look at Baseball Prospectus or Total Baseball? According to those, Bonds is one of the five best Left Fielders ever. Through his career, he has been worth nearly 20 wins more than an average left fielder with his glove alone. This is despite the fact that...
Dumkopf, defending one of the greatest hitters from ignorant, slanderous accusations is hardly being on their dick. It is called defending the truth as best as is possible. Its assinine naysayers like yourself who make David Halberstam and D. K. Goodwin millions of dollars, because they get to...
So, John C Holmes belongs in the Major league baseball Hall of Fame? Anyone can lay like that, I don't see too many guys slugging .863 in a pitcher's park.
He was a great player, and, by most accounts a great man. It is a good time to remember such a person, and it is awful that he will never be around any more, to discuss his experiences.
Hellloooo guys, wheres the props for Sex, Lies and Videotape. It is a truly great movie, and Soderbergh's breakthrough film, and he is a legitimate legend.
I think Quiz Show is also cheap and that rules, and Go rules as well.
Hey guys.
I was watching tv the other day, and I saw a snippet of a music video. In it, there were two people in it who looked like Natasha Lyonne and Kiefer Sutherland, but yahoo searches turned up nothing. It also looked like the Kiefer wannabe was in military garb. The music was fast paced...
Great analogy
Star Trek is based on the future which is pure speculation, with a mild basis in the progression of scientific discovery.
The Bible has not been proven to be true, granted, but much matches with scientific explanations and time periods, for example, the ten plagues.
Thats my point dumkopf! the universe is 15 billion, but the bible is broken up into 2 parts the first 6 days which is 14.999999 billion and then the years of intelligent, fully functioning, human life.
Well, the earth is less than 5800 years old if you take the bible at face value. However, a better explanation is that the 6 days of creation are six varying days that encompass all of what the world and universe went through prior to Adam. Interestingly enough, the first humans with the ability...
Considering that many had their first child in their 20's as per the bible, that would make them 1.5 years old by your logic. What are they feeding kids nowadays...
As for the 800 years thing. It is incredibly complicated, and to explain would take several hours just to imbue you with the basic concepts behind it. However, there has been an attempt made at explanation in the Kabbalah. It says that the Noachide genes (same as the Adamite) were marrying the...
Whoa, talk about un-educated...
The Bible has no specific problem with stem cells and almost all scientific research. If you ask any of the rabbis who establish the laws observant Jews follow, stem cell research is NECESSARY! If it can benefit mankind and such things are already around, it must...
Your post inspired me to check my new favorite book site, overstock.com
They have Shadow for 3.79 and shipping is 1.40 So it may be a better deal if you just want the one book. Pick up Seabiscuit while you are at it for 8.59, its amazing.
Hey,
(Mods, this is non-profit and I am only doing this because I would love to see fellow AT players at our competition, so do not lock!)
This Sunday we are going to be hosting a quiz bowl TRASH tournament on our campus (Brandeis) in Waltham, MA. For those of you who do not know, quiz bowl...
Hey, first topic I have started in a long while.
Wondering if anyone else on the board was at either of these two events, or plays quiz bowl for their school.
If you were at TRASHIONALS, it would be interesting to know what you thought of the questions and also what team you played for and if...
Many of these events predated the Red Sox's last title which occured in 1918.
George Burns was born in 1916 I believe, hence his 20th b-day would be in 1916.
Radio was invented in the first decade of the 20th century.
Halley's comet passed in 1910 or 1911.
Titanic was 1912.
Fenway was also...
Actually players are no longer allowed to officially decide, after the whole Devil Rays debacle. Although I am pretty sure they would let him have the choice, which the HOF would then approve.
