  1. Welcome to my world. My two youngest boys are 16 and 18, and it has been a competition to see who can have the ugliest stupid fucking haircut for going on 3 years now.
  2. Just watched Another Round on Netflix last night. It won Academy for best full feature foreign film in 2020. Dark comedy staring Mads Mikkelsen about a bunch of middle aged dudes teaching in Copenhagen using alcohol to solve their problems with hilarious consequences. There is an American version in the works starring Leo DiCaprio, but I don't think it will work as well set on the US. Nice hidden gem and the womens will like it too...just like Irish Spring. Has kind of a Full Monty feel about it once it gets rolling.
  3. Don't know, but my twin brother got in a wreck with their lead singer back in the late 80s. It was Butthole Surfer guys fault and he didn't have insurance so he gave my brother a bunch of cash on the spot. It was just a fender bender, but my asshole brother pocketed the $ and never got the bumper fixed.
  4. Would also have accepted Drowsy Don Dammit, should have looked closer above.
  5. By all accounts, the "captain" was a devoted husband and father, solid citizen, and recipient of many awards, honors, honorary doctorates and inductions to various halls of fame (not the least of which was the clown hall of fame). So basically nothing like dotard. But damn, that is one candy from a van looking son of a gun.
  6. I am a concrete contractor, not a pool contractor. There is a lot missing from that report. Enough for me to be skeptical. Lots of concrete is poured without fly ash and it is more expensive, not less expensive than fly ash. These pools were not poured with "concrete". They use shotcrete and they are sprayed. There was a fly ash shortage during this time due to demand and a large cement plant in Dallas going down for an extended period which put a stress on the fly ash market since it is a partial substitute for cement in concrete mixes. There are different classes of ash, so not sure which one is best but they are substituted freely. Shot Crete is sprayed on with the water being added at the hose end area so the concrete products are not delivered in a ready mix drum type of truck, but a metered truck which proportions the components through a helical drive for mixing. Cement and fly ash are kept separate in the truck. Most pooll contractors hire out the shotcrete. Shotcrete guys do more than just pools. My guess is that are going to find a single ingredient source or contractor at fault, but I doubt fly ash is the cause of all of it.
  7. I will always choose to remember him not as a killer, but as an all pro running back mercilessly slashing through defenders back in the 70s.
  8. I have nothing to back this up, but a couple of thoughts: We are a larger country today by 100 million or so there's that. Also, might have been some undiagnosed fatalities way back then which would have lessened the observed pool of allergy sufferers v today.
  9. This and don't pit it on TBS. CBS prime time for the win.
  10. Yeah? Well my wife's brother went to MIT, so there.... ...but he's also an alcoholic asshole.
  11. So from the outside, you can't understand it, and from the inside you can't explain it.
  12. My mom left me in that Kroger "on accident" back in the mid 70's, so this hits close to home.
