  1. I laughed but I was nodding my head too.
  2. Nah. Your grip.
  3. If she is/was a Mennonite, I'm her cousin.
  4. I'll buy a copy of the BNSF in the wind farm if you will sell. also any E9 or F9 Santa Fe's that you encounter need to be photographed. That's an easy sale.
  5. Do you know the difference between Pink and Purple?
  6. The F9 KC Southern locomotive shot is great. My Dad was a railway mail clerk back in the 50's and 60's and that was the primary loco of the time. My brother and I got to know most of the engineers and conductors that were on Santa Fe's Texas Chief from Newton, KS to Ft Worth. We got to spend time in the cab and pretty much ran wild at the Newton depot. Pretty heady stuff for a couple of elementary aged kids. I always appreciate the train pics, Swayze
  7. I appreciate him more than I did when he was with us. CSB, one of his uncles was the HS music teacher in our small town. He was telling all of us how great his nephew was and how he was going to be a bigshot. Yeah, yeah, sure thing Bob. A couple years later, boom, there it is.
  8. I'm headed to Austin in the morning to see the show Tuesday. Thanks for posting that @Cajun
  9. Wait a minute, Pilgrim. Where's the bitchin'?
  10. It's a really SSS but I'm excited to see what Nick Eaton can do for KC. They played him at 3B several times and he didn't look comfortable there. It looks like he can play any of the OF spots but RF would make the most sense. He appears to be a natural there. Course, it's KC so sense hasn't factored in lately. I'm looking forward to the new regime and what they do with kids like Eaton.
  11. Science!!
  12. .308 made me guffaw. I'm more of a 6.5 holemaker. Looks delicious, BTW. Gonna try this this weekend.
  13. Took me 8 times.
  14. Thanks for posting, guys. I really struggled deciding whether to do this show or Saucerful of Secrets on the 18th. I chose the latter and think I will enjoy it more. I saw Roger during the Pros and Cons tour so I think I'm up to date on his politics. Didn't need a booster. I would love for Gilmour to make another tour happen.
  15. Welp, a couple more bible-thumpers get tossed out. https://theathletic.com/3662870/2022/10/05/royals-fire-manager-mike-matheny/ I haven't seen a list of potential replacements yet but I'm hopeful that the criteria for selection won't be church attendance or George Mason alumni. We have a roomful of those guys that have to be next on the chopping block. It was nice leading the league in good husbands, sons and fathers but they couldn't win ballgames. I wonder if they could just hire Driveline to take over pitching development.
  16. Wordle 466 2/6* 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 proud of myself. Been on a 4-5 try binge lately.
  17. I will always rec a picture of “Doc”.
  18. Roundabout trail for me. Goemaw had something from widerightnattylight that referenced the statues thread on the shag. I found the baseball forum and thought” my school has a championship”and posted something stupid. @Beau Vine told me to go fuck myself and here we are.
  19. I drive older vehicles. This will be a great way to add a couple of extra crumple zones to my ride.
  20. I pretty much keep my mouth shut around here. I check this thread a couple times every day, though. Some entertaining motherfuckers posting here, for sure.
  21. It's not a purge but it's a start. Moore exercised Matheny's option for next year so I don't know yet if he will be retained but I'm pretty sure that CalfuckingEldred will be gone. A couple extra million to make MM go away shouldn't be a big thing. My biggest question is whether JJ Picollo will be an improvement as GM using his own brain. It has been pretty evident that he was only a puppet for Moore up to now. Time will tell. From 1970 up until the original owner, Ewing Kaufman, died the Royals were one of the best run franchises in baseball. It's a shame to see how far this organization has fallen in the years since. I have been a fan from the beginning but it has been tough. I HAVE seen a Championship more recently than Yankees fans have so I have that going for me.
  22. If this is for anything other than a front office purge, I'm gonna do something rash. The Athletic did a piece on how bad the Royals pitching development has been and put the bulk of the blame on Dayton Moore. Moore shot back in another interview and called the reporting false and cowardly. It wasn't a good look being that unaccountable. Maybe Sherman has had/seen enough. This is like waiting for Christmas morning.
  23. There has been a lot of good advice so far. Listen to these assholes, they are a remarkable collection. I'm sending all of the good thoughts I can. Hang in there, Man.
  24. He had a pretty remarkable transformation. He went from being really obnoxious to somebody that was pretty cool. Every so often I scroll through the photography thread and see some of his posts. Gives me pause.
  25. For a quick minute, I thought Phlegm was back.
