  3. If you are an old like me and grew up in the Houston area, you will recall a radio show that came on at midnight on the weekends called Metal Shop. Hosted by Linda Silk on KLOL. It was the only show you could hear Metallica on the radio in their early days. They were too fast and thrashy for mainstream album rock radio. I had only heard them a few times in high school and seen some stuff about them in Circus and Hit Parader magazines, or maybe a Kerrang! that a classmate brought to school. In 1985 I went with a buddy from my high school band and my big brother and one of his co-workers to see Iron Maiden and WASP at The Summit. It was the Powerslave tour, and it was excellent. And loud. Between WASP and Iron Maiden they announced that Metallica was playing at Cardi’s with Armored Saint after the Maiden show and it was all-ages and you could get in for $5 or something with your Maiden ticket stub. Again, if you are from the Houston area in that time frame, you remember the ads: β€œit’s ladies’ night at Cardi’s!!!” It was a school night for me and work night for my brother, but we went anyway. My friend called his dad to tell him he would be home later than planned and that he had no choice because he didn’t drive. His dad was pissed, which is a bummer because his dad was a guitarist in a band in high school and still hand a kind of Spicoli vibe when you talked to him. We went to Cardi’s. It was packed. Armored Saint was finishing their set when we arrived. As they left, the crew rolled off their wall of Marshall’s. Behind it was a larger wall of Marshall stacks. M Cardi’s ain’t that big. Iron Maiden could have used this setup in the Summit and still been too loud. This was the Ride The Lightning tour. Cliff was still alive. I got to see my first ever bass solo that night. Everything was 100mph and they played like they were trying to kill us. It was raw and powerful. I was screaming in my brother’s ear to tell him something and he couldn’t make out one word. To this day I still do well on audiograms that are administered at work. I’m not sure how. The next morning I was very late to 1st period. I woke up on the living room floor. I had passed out waiting for my brother to get out of the shower around 3:30am. I was wearing a Powerslave shirt I bought for my cousin who couldn’t go. I got up and went to school. No shower. Bed head from sleeping on the floor. Smelled like pot smoke and cigarette smoke. Giant black X’s on my hands. Made it to school and walked passed the attendance office without getting an admit. Went to Algebra and opened the door with maybe two minutes left in class. Mrs. Allen turned and started pointing and grumping at me. The class was pointing and appeared to be laughing. I could hear nothing but ringing. I said β€œWHAT? I CAN’T HEAR ANYTHING YOU ARE SAYING!!!” I got detention. And went to choir and told the director I would not be able to participate for a few days until the ringing stopped. I didn’t smell good. People usually knew if you wore a concert shirt to school the next day that you had gone. They could smell me and knew that I had gone. It was totally worth it.
  4. Trump sues Wall Street Journal over Epstein report, seeks $10 billion Reuters Link This is a really long article so I tried to clip the highlights. A few points or my editorial on this piece of news. First, the Wall Street Journal is a lot of things. It leans conservative typically, but to my knowledge is very well respected. One thing I've never heard is that it's "a rag". If others here differ on my view, I'd really like to know why. Perhaps there is something I am unaware of or changed. Second, no one external has yet verified this document. While I don't doubt that's true, it's a very dangerous piece if they don't have proof. Given my first point, I struggle to believe that's the case. Third, if true it's more evidence suggestive of dishonesty from Trump, and I think will continue to increase the public and media push for information. If someone has the WSJ article I'd love to read it. I don't have a sub there anymore. Finally, I've posted Coffee/voidzilla links here before. This 10 minute video from yesterday is a nice add on to this information.
  5. I didn't know the details of the meme until last night. I kept seeing it around but I had no idea what the hell it was about. Some CEO did something? Ok whatever, I'm busy I'll see what it's all about later. 7 or 8 pages, a dozen memes, one quixotic white knight quest by imma (seriously? THIS PAIR is who you're choosing to defend) and I think I am caught up. All I can say is that I have a satisfactory level of schadenfreude this morning. This asshole, by all accounts, has left every company he's ever touched in worse shape than when he arrived. And imma thinks we ought to leave Brittany alone? FUCK THAT and FUCK HIM. I hope he is forever enconsced as the representative meme of "don't get your meat where you get your bread". I also hope he's so toxic that he never gets another chance to pillage a company into the dirt. I don't feel sorry for him having an epic moment of FAFO. He ought to be the representative slide on the HR presentation that we have to sit through on behavior at work. No, I don't think I will back off, nor do I feel any pity or shame or sympathy towards him in the slightest. Saddle up bucko. This one is just starting for you.
  6. Holy shit man thanks for the time and effort of explaining that. I haven't yet fully absorbed all of it but I'll sit down with one of my acoustics and tune it down to Drop D and follow along. Great work!
  7. You’ve been around since Hornfans, right? it’s RIGHT THERE IN HIS FUCKING SCREENNAME.
  8. The dude didn’t give a fuck about defense, so excuse me for not placing some coach who again never won shit and doesn’t even have a conference title on his resume. Perhaps if he was a better HC he could have at least won a conference title. The only reason yall like him as much as you do here is his philosophical shit and his anti Aggie rants
  9. First, you start with a roux!
  10. BOW has an interesting view on life, that's for sure. I'd love to see his resume, littered with nothing but success, to have such a high bar for others.
  11. Well, he hired Mike Leach, who attended BYU while Edwards was coaching there. Leach was recruited to play football, but an injury apparently kept him from playing. Allegedly he would sit in on film sessions as a student with the coaching staff. After graduating in 1983 he eventually got his law degree from Pepperdine in 1986, became an assistant football coach in 1987 at Cal Poly, then took a job as the head coach of a team in Finland. That's when Hal Mumme plucked him to be his assistant at Iowa Weslayan University. I'm sure through his connection to Lavell Edwards. Hal Mumme was doing things radically different. He was purposefully trying to break football. Specifically how the game approached offense, and he needed people on his staff who weren't afraid of that. Which Mike Leach fit to a T. They left for Valdosta State then paired up at Kentucky. When Bob Stoops took the job at OU he hired Mike Leach to run his offense without really knowing the guy. He just knew the offenses at Kentucky were the ones that gave him the most trouble as the defensive coordinator at Florida, so that's the guy he wanted to run his offense. Honestly, it was kind of similar to what Sarkisian did with Pete Kwiatkowski.
  12. Don't get your honey where you get your money. Just got the phone with my best buddy, he's firing his GM Monday for dopin' and an office affair. FAFO.
  13. Yes. Very similar incident.
