  1. Past hour
  2. At the top of the mountain. 92 and still touring.
  3. G650

    Ozzy has passed.

    Well fuck. RIP Prince
  4. furk. end of era and a genre-defining career.
  5. Not one of his best, but this one really hits today as well...
  6. 76 years old. He shoulda lived longer. Too much clean livin', I guess.
  7. Presidenting while black
  8. Lucky enough to see Ozzy in concert. Want to say he probably played a two and a half hour set.
  9. Seems kind of quaint now. “That’s it??”
  10. Pure greatness, this episode. If you haven't seen it yet, do so asap.
  11. That sir earned you a Beer. Maybe 2.
  12. Wife asked me who we were pulling for. We are Astros fans. I explained "fuck the Dodgers. Always, fuck the Dodgers." Old habits die hard.
  13. Yuuup. The guilt has crept it's way in, and I feel entirely powerless. No clue how to actually help. I think we were all holding out hope that the judicial branch would put up something resembling a fight. I feel like Colin Firth's character in Conspiracy. Sure, I'm ultimately a piece of shit with no power standing by while heinous things happen to keep myself out of the target reticle...but I feel really, really bad about it. Now we're just waiting until November '26 in the hope that having the majority of Congress critters shift ever so slightly will be able to stop people from being disappeared?
  14. I believe the tape is just him cheering on Russian prosititutes to piss on a bed that Obama slept on. Not super fun to watch.
  15. My advice to you: stop trying. They want to slit our throats. They say just that, in open and proud terms. They offer no window for compromise, no quarter, no chance for a peaceful outcome. This is where we are, and you know it as well as I do:
  16. What if there is lasagna though?
  17. Crazy to think that when "The Traveling Wilburys" first came out and it seemed like all those guys were old as dirt that they were only between 37-52 years old. Bob Dylan was 47, Jeff Lynne was 40, George Harrison was 45, Tom Petty was 37, and Roy Orbison was 52. Had you told me then that Dylan would be one of the last two around I never would have believed it. Lynne is 77 now.
  18. Love Mitchells vs the Machines!
  19. Wild Bill

    Ozzy has passed.

    Wow! Ozzy was such a big part of my teen years, this one hits hard.
  20. Damn. RIP John Michael.
  21. For marketers or accountants or whatever, there isn’t collective bargaining or payment based on revenue. Those are transportable marketable skills. Teams have a choice— hire an accountant within the local pay band, or don’t. That’s why it doesn’t make sense to compare the salaries of a WNBA player to WNBA admin employee. Those salaries are based on local labor conditions and basically are what they are. Clark and Wilson are not the examples here and a future CBA isn’t about them. There are 170 (maybe?) WNBA players. If anyone between number 50-170 (I am being generous) tell a front office owner “I can make more as a teacher or accountant using my degree” the owner can absolutely give them a handshake and go grab someone from a developmental league or one of the undrafted players. 170 is a tiny pool and because of title IX we fortunately have plenty of D1 colleague athletes to vie for those spots. You are absolutely correct that the ladies have more bargaining power if the league makes money. That’s kind of at the heart of the whole system. None of this is unique to women’s basketball. U.S. olympians in multiple sports are among the best in the world at their craft and the vast majority of them are faced with tough decisions about finances and when you go get a real world job. Michael Phelps or Katie Ledecky has Caitlin Clark-like leverage and bargaining. The fourth place finisher is likely more marketable outside the pool. For most of its existence the WNBA has been closer to “Olympic sport” level interest than it has been to major professional level interest from the viewing public and the salaries have reflected that. It’s in a weird growing era.
  22. The saturday game is on Fox. I will be there and so will two other Surly's confirmed. @Brisketexan and @Sbbruin I am right behind the Pole. (Not on it....)
  23. Mittens

    Ozzy has passed.

    Not gonna lie, it's pretty awesome that they threw him a helluva goodbye concert and he left right after. Godspeed, Metal GOAT!
