  1. You precious desert flower tilting towards the clouds on the horizon..
  2. Gil also doesn't know why Chuck Berry is held in high regard. How many people have Sweet Little Sixteen on their Spotify playlist?
  3. Corey breaking down into tears during this Montreaux performance is so raw. Could go into the Covers Better than Originals thread due to how closely it affected Living Colour.
  4. Mrs GOTJ just gave me a kiss and said "subtle." I love that woman.
  5. Any second now he will produce a somber, respectful video to the nation addressing these heinous crimes and using the power of the bully pulpit to calm the waters while assuring the nation that compassion, unity and brotherhood will prevail. Oh, I'm sorry. I slipped back into 2008 - 2016 mode again.
  6. There's a difference?
  7. Dude, I'm 55 and in solid B+ shape for my age. A few months ago I helped a buddy (67, probably A+ fitness level) move his 450 lb gun safe onto a U-Haul by carting across a parking lot several hundred yards. Fuck that shit. We're lucky we didn't end up in the ER. You hit a certain age and realize that a small slip with something above a certain weight is going to end up in a really, REALLY bad situation. Anything north of 500 lbs is asking for trouble if you don't have the right gear. Over 700? Hire the professionals and guys who are too young & stupid to think what their back & joints are going to be like down the road.
  8. 730 lbs? So people are gonna roll up in a flatbed w/ a forklift to pick one of those things up?
  9. I've started watching the doc linked earlier in this thread & now whenever I hear Brian Wilson's voice in it all I hear is Carl Spackler. So I've got that going for me. Which is nice.
  10. Booger eating? Jizzing in jars? Chin pubing? Embarrassing ourselves on national TV? Or at least ESPN÷?
  11. This. A few months ago I discovered a small bump on my left eyelid. Had my annual dermatologist screening at that time & she referred me to an ophthalmologist. Turns out it's a backed up lubricating gland. Did antibiotics, ointment & warm compresses for 2 weeks. All that resulted in was the doxycycline knocking down my immune system (which is formally mutant-level strong) so I picked up a head cold. Next step is a procedure next Thurs where they're gonna unblock it. Sounds like they're lancing a zit over my eye.
  12. It's hard to argue that BW didn't have one of the most melodic ears ever. His tapestry was so much bigger than all but a very, very select few. RIP Brian.
  13. CP started getting hammered w/ rain and high winds about 10 minutes ago. Quite the lightning show to boot.
  14. Running a muck. /chefskiss
  15. Welp. That about wraps this grand experiment up.
  16. Dammit. I have one every morning at breakfast.
  17. Yeah, and buddy of mine just picked up his wife after a 30 day stint at a place down on SPI. This was her 4th stay at a facility since 2019. Don't know the names of the others but they were all located between Bastrop, Houston and Austin. Can't say if it's a reflection on the care being offered, the depth of her disease or a combination. The limited feedback from the BIL so far has been positive with him embracing the recovery journey. The past 5 years or so have been hell on them. At least a half dozen ER trips, multiple seizures & other episodes, etc. Everyone thought he hit his bottom last fall, but he found a way to go even deeper. It's pure luck that he didn't physically harm anyone or end up in jail during his spiral.
  18. Does "makes a perfect Old Fashioned" indicate he's a sub or a dom?
  19. BIL entered La Hacienda in Hunt this morning. Yesterday was his birthday. This is his first step to having another one next year.
  20. I'm sure this is common knowledge, but Woody Guthrie wrote "This Land is Your Land" as a direct retort to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America."
  21. 5" - 5 1/2" hail being reported in Mason County.
  22. I'm gonna assume Bonnie OK'd this when she was still in her cups.
  23. Heard a MAGA the other day say the reason cursive isn't being taught anymore is so that people will no longer be able to read the constitution which will lead to their rights being stolen. We're fucked.
  24. Hold your left arm with your right to provide the subtext that you're fighting every urge not to jack off on your mom's curtains behind you.
