And something special for the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner.

Bacon wrapped Turducken, and these guys didn't skimp. They wrapped the chicken and duck in bacon before stuffing the bacon wrapped trukey.

I've got to tell you that as much as I love bacon, that looks disgusting. I thought I was in on this bacon trend before it was a trend, but it's become ridiculous.

The damn thing looks ALIVE.  Like a crab lobster monster.  An alive one.  Also sorta looks like a rancor.  A dead one.

Patent pending!

Great soundtrack!  I imagine this might be the kind of music JD schools fools in men's beach volleyball with.

Every Samsung phone I've ever seen, had or heard about was a complete and total piece of shit. I had such a bad experience with one that I've decided to boycott ALL of their products for the rest of my life. Sony is dependable, reliable. If it doesn't work you can always hit him with it.

Why are we posting pictures of Thrill's dad?

What's the word on installing games to your hard drive?  I've heard responses from all over the spectrum. 

On one end -- "Eliminates disc noise, runs smoother, cuts down load times, makes for a better experience"

On the other -- "::KEYBOARD SMASH::  FUCK MICROSOFT, increases load times, glitches games, ruins console, makes for a shittier experience"

What's a guy to do?  I can't exactly get access to my XLive account right now (even though it just auto renewed), but I'm interested to hear about this aspect of it.  Eliminating disc noise and reducing the strain on the console would be a huge factor for me.

FATALITY

The wireless signal I'm inadvertently pirating is quickly deteriorating.  I was told it could be because of NFL football sunday, with people and their damned satellites.  I was also told it could be the cold weather.

Q:  How do I keep my wireless signal consistent and non-shitty?  How do I keep from disconnecting?  Also, does the cold actually play a role in any of this?

(The easy answer would be to "get your own gotdamned wired connection" but I'm looking for a quick stopgap fix)

shut up paul you're a douche

I don't get it. Why is that funny?

Keep an eye on this dude, he's asking the right questions.  "Shut up Paul you're a douche" hasn't been funny in years.  It's one of those things that we keep doing now because it's been done for some time.  Sort of a tradition.  But not a good one.

^THIS^

I BLAME CT!

Its just a "warm" way of welcoming you to the board.  I didn't want to post it in the other thread cause it seemed mean considering the post I had just made in that thread.  Here's hoping you have a pleasant stay Jared my friend!

After that article comes out, how does Hendry not call Wood or his agent (or both on some new-fangled conference call function that I don't think has been invented yet) and say, "Hey, Kerry. I fucked this one up. I thought we were doing what's best for you, but you want a one year deal to stay here? You got it bud. How much do you want? It's on."

That's what I'd do.

Best Post Of Thread Award goes to Slaky, come on down and take your award, y'little rascal you!

That's what I'd do.

If Hendry does not offer him a one year deal now, then somebody is lying. Either.....

1. Hendry really doesn't want him back.
or
2. Piniella doesn't want him back.
or
3. Marmol is whining about not being the closer and they are trying to make him happy for some reason.
or
4. Kerry really wouldn't accept a one year deal but is trying to come off as the good guy to the media and fans.

Even though I like Kerry Wood as much as the next Cubs fan, this does seem pretty likely.  Isn't this what most professional athletes say when they leave a city they've been a part of for a while?

He said yesterday that they live here year-round and they're putting their kids in school here.  His wife is from Chicago.  I think he meant it.

I do too. My thinking is that Hendry and the rest of the staff decided it's time to move on.

Well if they can get him for one year, it's stupid to move on. There were two relievers on the team worth a damn last year, and now there is one. It's not like it's a rebuilding year.

Yeah, that's how most of us feel. Unfortunately, we aren't the staff.

We should be the staff. That would be cool.

Sam Zell needs buyers...who's with me?

I'll start buying up Replay For Riches scratch-and-wins, you tackle Little Lotto. RV will pwn the Dow.

I'm sure we can scrape together what we need in no time.

I've always said that one day we could have actual real life legitimate say-so within the Cubs organization.  For serious.  It has already begun.

No offense, not trying to start anything, just voicing my take.  I believe that Bush embodies the term "bigot".  To define -- in that he is intolerant of differing opinions.

Kerry would have "done anything", including taking a one-year deal, in order to stay.

What?

No.

You're joking.

You're just pulling our legs, right?

That does it.

I am going to jump off of this chair and elbow drop my keyboard.  For real.  Watch me.

I saw Mike C surfing around here at Desipio the other day.  His user status said "Posting in _______ Thread (probably this one)".  He must have backed out, because the post never appeared.  Now somebody links that site with his trackmarks all over it?  That induced gut-busting laughter, I nearly fell right out of my chair.  Gracious!
