  1. Here in NJ, especially in my hometown, Turkey Eve is considered the biggest drinking night of the year

    Ok, so we weren't crazy thinking that South Florida is f-cked up... we went out last year, expecting the normal mayhem, people having fun, getting so drunk they wont really want to eat turkey the next day, and NOTHING. No one out. Just people that drink on wednesdays on a regular basis who refuse to change their schedule due to a holiday.

     

    Its sad, really. I think we will get about 10 of us together and play some beer die, or beer pong. . . fug south florida and its sobriety.

  2. You might want to check that again.  They're starting to charge 15% restocking fees on EVERYTHING you return...

    Dude, don't let them treat you like a doormat. I bought a laptop from them months ago. When I realized that for the same price I could get a desktop, a TV and a surround sound system, i took it back. For the $1400 they wanted to keep 15% for "restocking"... I almost laughed in their face. They insisted it was store policy. I insisted it was my policy not to pay assinine restocking fees. People behind me in line were ready to take my life, but after 27 minutes (and yes, I remember it was 27 minutes, because I was missing Jeopardy) and talking to TWO managers, I got 100% of that money back. To me, that 27 minutes was worth $210.

  3. Man, I didn't realize there was that big of a savings.

     

    The same thing in the 32" was $604.00. To me it wasn't worth it when it was almost twice as much.

     

    Also, I've decided to never take my wife with me when buying electronics.

     

    I was at the store for nearly 4 hours because I had to make her understand why we were better off with the 27" flat screen that a 32" regular tube.

     

    Typical woman. Bigger is better.

     

    And wouldn't you know now she loves it.

    Flate tube is the way to go... I have a 36" regular tube in the living room, and a small 20" flat tube in my bedroom. The flat tube picture is so much sharper... i love it.

  4. When I lived in WNY, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving was touted as the "biggest party night of the year"... I thought that was a universal thing... Apparently not. When I mentioned that to people down here, they looked at me like I was French or something similarly terrible. My friends and I that are from Buffalo all went out, but the bars that are even open are DEAD...

     

    So, to all of you non-WNYers, is wednesday a big party night in your part of the country?

  5. Stern was just plain wrong in saying that he looked at his past prior to making a decision. If that was his basis he should have kept it to himself.

    This is one of the biggest points i disagree with.

     

    In this case, which is what makes it so rare, Stern actually had to consider the safety of his paying customers.

     

    Now, let's just say that this was Steve Nash that got hit with the water and went ape-s#it. Ok, he did, he snapped, but he has never before done anything like this. There is a good chance he just snapped, it is out of character, and it most likely won't happen again. Let's suspend him for 30 games. End of story.

     

    Artest is a constant problem. He had eight flagrant fouls last season, got fined for two obscene gestures, got into a fight with Raja Bell and a verbal fight with Pat Riley that was this close to turning violent.

     

    So now, if we suspend Artest for 10 games, and let him back, what will that do? NOTHING. He is a loose cannon that CANNOT CONTROL HIMSELF. He is like a giant version of a kid with ADD. He needs help. Hopefully the NBA will get him into an ager management course or something.

  6. Get some shot glasses a bottle of whiskey and make a day of it. Drinking, food, friends and football..... Sounds like a fun day to me!

    wednesday will be alot more fun... i dont have friday off, so i cant get drunk on Thursday, but wednesday night should be a night I'll forget! :rolleyes:

  7. I must have missed the point in time when it became OK to throw things at people and not expect a reaction.

    128589[/snapback]

     

    It has NEVER been Ok to throw something at anyone, unprovoked. But, getting paid the amount of money he is, with his past, and knowing his family might be watching (mainly his own kids), and knowing there were little ones in the crowd, don't you think the ADULT thing to do would be to stand up, point out the suspect, and have security toss him?

     

    Situation over, fan gets tossed, possibly arrested, and we realize we live in a country that isn't under marshall law, which is what anyone who is defending Artest is implying we should be.
