  1. Hell yes. I would however, likely get written up for it. Our admin has no sense of humor. It sucks. If my boss's boss didn't fire me for asking whose mother he wants to do most, I don't think I'll get fired for this. Personally, I think they really do care for each other, and it's become an office discussion. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  2. This year I've decided to give both of my managers Valentine's Day cards from each other. I want them to know how much they care about each other. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  3. It is an existing ad, and it's for Bucktown in Chicago. (There was a period after "Bucktown," and they used "Oh," as an experession
  4. I still have several months before I turn 30, but it's never too early to start planning the most kick-ass awesomest party ever, right? My bff who turns 30 a few days afer me is even thinking of coming up for it to make it DOUBLY awesome. I've been picking up ideas and trying to plan something great, and I just wanted everyone's opinion on this: http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/chi/814181712.html Do you guys think that an addition like that to my party would make it fantastic?

  5. There isn't one single shred of evidence to show that it exists. The paranormal-hype really shows that we have a lack of education when it comes to logic and critical thinking. Many people use the full spectrum of logical fallacies when defending the paranormal (tautology, moving goalpost, special pleading, tu quoque). Of course, somebody may be right even when using logical fallacies, but when evidence is scarce and logical fallacies are used to defend certain beliefs, it's highly unlikely that it's true.

  6. (Sorry for detracting from the purpose of this thread) The success rate of AA may actually be about the same as the success rate with stopping on your own, therefore it cannot be touted as the end-all be-all for recovery. The odds are stacked against addicts as it is, so I would expect that a minority (non-believers) in a minority (AA success stories) to be very small.

  7. By wanting it enough to practice everyday at changing habits. If weight loss is the goal, then a person has to eat right and exercise everyday, which can be difficult to do if the routine for the past several years is to grab a donut on the way to work and watch tv all night. If a person wants to change a character trait, similarly, they have to practice not being a jerk everyday until that habit is broken. It can be a struggle, and it does involve work, but when someone wants to change just for themselves, it's not that hard. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    UFC 92 WTF?

    It depends on who Dana white thinks will make the biggest draw. My guess is someone relatively younger/new so that Forrest has an easy win. It seems that's what they do 75% of the time someone loses the title. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    UFC 92 WTF?

    I'm disappointed you were right about that one, too. Even during a title fight, Rashad shows little class and still looks like a tool. Who do you think is next for him? Rampage? Machida? Other than being disappointed that Forrest lost, the fights were great! I'm excited because we're thinking of heading to the fights in Columbus & the Arnold Classic...I will be in prime stalking mode! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  10. My heart goes out to Brooke's family and friends. She was so smart and so funny....and a lot of fun to cause trouble with! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  11. I know! I barely passed the second grade. This whole not believing in god thing makes my brain hurt too much to use it for much else! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  12. According to Randy on Inside MMA, it's never going to happen. I'm not overly upset by it. It would be taking money out of other fighters' pockets. Some of the best fighters don't make that much money per fight, so I would rather see them make some more money than blowing a huge chunk of change on one fight.

  13. Three letters for you: WTF? #1 This thread was started as a joke. Some did not get that. Some got it but didn't think it was funny. Some found the humor in it. The rest are setting up their doggies in arranged marriages to partake in the next big Canine Wedding. #2 If people getting married is the breakdown of religion and morality, then neither one of those must be all that strong to begin with. Well, unless those people getting married show up with ammo and declare a war. To my knowledge, that has never happened here. #3 I am a straight Atheist. I have the right to get married. If I ever get married, it will be in a courthouse or in a Vegas hotel (or drive through!) It was already said, but marriage is NOT a religious institution. #4 People still believe that crap? I'm floored! #5 For those that are unclear of my stance, I am all for gay marriage. I just happened to see that they had a dog wedding in the Chicago area, and I laughed and was reminded of all the "if you let gays marry, people will end up marrying multiple people and animals" argument.

  14. They'll turn to drugs and probably end up just like their parents. It's a sad situation, really. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  15. The religious right has been saying it for years: if you let gay couples get married, it just leads to polygamy and animal marriages. I've been a supporter of letting people choose whomever they wish to marry, and my thoughts reflect the very blue surroundings I live in. Oak Park is known for being very liberal with their Obama signs, higher taxes and programs for its very lazy citizens (I mean, has anyone seen me even leave the house today?) It seems the fears of the religious folks of what gay marriages lead to have finally been realized: http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=6495966 A town supporting gay marriages is now full of animal weddings, just as predicted. I guess we can't say that we hadn't been warned. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  16. It's a great day to be in Chicago!
  17. I did vote. It took about 35 minutes, but at least they had a very sexy man checking us in, so the time passed a little more quickly. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  18. You should at lest go and sign in. That way, your vote actually "counts" since you then show that you are voting for no one. And by the way, I understand about not even wanting to vote third-party/independent. I don't know how my state managed to rack up some of the biggest nutcases to run for the other parties.

  19. You know...that guy that we're all hoping to see lose on TUF! http://www.spike.com/blog/kimbo-on-ultimate/70080 There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  20. My vote is on Randy. And not even 3 MMA wins! Obviously, Dana wants to make tons of money, and this fight will do just that. I can't say that I wouldn't do the same if I was in his position. It is, however, especially a shame when guys like Lyoto haven't had a title shot yet. I guess he's not pretty enough or loud enough. (In defense of Dana, at least he's not just welcoming Kimbo into the UFC despite his popularity....although he should welcome Seth back for justifying that decision to everyone else ) I'll one up you and say the third round...just to be different There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  21. So would your life be less complicated, and more fulfilling, if you had kissed but one woman in your entire life? I think anything can be less complicated and more fulfilling if you are doing it for yourself, whether it is purity or sleeping around. When you start making life decisions based on other people's expectations of you, that's when it gets messy. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  22. Hmm...the way you say it, it actually doesn't sound so bad if we brainwash kids into thinking cleaning is cool. My nephews could come over and clean to become popular. I'd have fewer dust bunnies. I think it would work out just fine! I bet whoever said "Cleanliess is next to godliness," was just too lazy to do the dishes. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  23. About as cool as it is to wash the bathroom floor. Unfortunately for this man, saying that it's cool doesn't actually make it cool. With the continued mindset that the opposite of purity is slutty for women, realistic and safe approaches are missed entirely. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    UFC 90

    Before the fight when Franca was running around the ring, he (intentionally, I think) ran right into Aurelio. I didn't hear the ref (obviously), but he was just representing the bitch douche bags well, apparently! A guy sitting close to me kept shouting "Do something," the entire time. I shouted, "Leave if you don't like it," at him once. I heart Joe Rogan! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
