  1. I've always thought 'Slipping Away' from Steel Wheels has been criminally overlooked. Keef brought that song to the recording sessions essentially finished (it might've been an outtake from Talk is Cheap) and Mick had 'Mixed Emotions' and a couple rockers in the bag. That's when they knew it was worth another go. Shit, I'd argue that 'Thru and Thru' off Voodoo Lounge is worth a regular rotation on anyone's playlist. When Charlie comes in half way through and Keith finds that deep, down below the earth riff...that's the good stuff.
  2. Dead Flowers, Girl with the Far Away Eyes, Waiting on a Friend... Can't keep track of the times I've heard and/or sang along to any of those songs (to name a few) and thought "fuck, this moment in time is perfect."
  3. Impossible task because it can change depending upon the time of day, mood, environment, etc. Moonlight Mile is one of the greatest final tracks on any album ever, and it might not make the top 5 tracks on Sticky Fingers.
  4. Tulsa is 3-3 on 4th down conversions. In the first half.
  5. Tulsa bullying the Pokes line.
  6. Gundy should open a Qwik Lube franchise at this point.
  7. All of our discussions w/ our financial advisor up until this year have been built upon us leaving Texas when we retire for one of 4 areas: the PNW, Santa Fe, Fort Collins, or Stillwater/eastern 'burbs of the Twin Cities. Going forward our focus will change to options outside of the US. We don't have kids and our family obligations are nothing that couldn't be met via technology or international flights. Unfortunately we're probably looking at 8 more years before we can retire & escape. The longer MAGA metastasizes, the less I like our odds.
  8. His roommate/romantic interest is apparently transition. Ergo, all transgenders are domestic terrorists. It all adds up in Trumplandia.
  9. Jesus, I said take the STICK, not the wheel! Brett James made a nice living off that song. Co-wrote a lot for some huge names.
  10. But she'd be forced to display the Ten Commandments in her (TX) classroom.
  11. In that video of the Bengals fans fighting you can almost hear the wheezing while they attempt to throw hands. I don't think a single person in the video weighed less than 250 lbs. Old fat slobs.
  12. Three Days of the Condor is another remote drop film for me, along with All the President's Men. RIP, Sundance.
  13. Enchubben sounds EXACTLY like my late FIL. UT grad '66. Enlisted in the Army immediately after graduation, did a tour in Korea as an ambulance driver at a MASH unit. Got out, married, started a family & went to work at his dad's successful RV business in SA. He fucked that up so badly he was passed over by his younger sister's husband to be the GM. So he quit the family business due to the insult & tried selling cars for Benson & McCombs. Couldn't hack that either. So his wife put on the pants & was the breadwinner for the next 25 years while he smoked, drank, & came up with lame ass ideas that never panned out. He had a special hatred for government employees. It severely damaged his relationship with his daughter who's been a gov't employee her entire career (but no the son who was active duty USAF for 25 years). Why did he hate gov't workers so much? It seems he applied for a civil service job in SA in the early 80s & didn't get it. So in his warped mind, the only way a white, male, veteran TexasEx wouldn't be hired is due to minority quotas. I mean, there's no way an alcoholic with no computer skills & a checkered employment history with major gaps wouldn't be a dream candidate for any hiring manager, right?
  14. I'm fully anticipating a Christian Ponder-esque career for McCarthy.
  15. Burrow is quickly heading down the "What Could Have Been" expressway.
  16. Chiefs 0-2. Emergency meeting scheduled for Monday morning in Goodell's office to ensure they aren't in danger of another loss before Thanksgiving.
  17. This Browning kid is throwing it all over the yard in Cincy. Makes up for the boneheaded INT w/ another long bomb to Higgins for a TD.
  18. Rodgers tried to thread the needle in the endzone. INT.
  19. Burrow w/ a left toe injury. How many weeks will that keep him out of the lineup?
  20. Lions just went right down the field on Chicago.
  21. Huh. If true he was hit from 200 yards away than gunny Sgt Hartman approves of the marksman's training & discipline.
  22. As a Vikings fan who gets up at 4AM, my tried & tried formula for prime time viewing worked like a charm: If they're sucking shit through a straw at half, turn it off and get some sleep. If they make a miracle comeback to win you start the day w/ a pleasant surprise & can watch the highlights later. If they're tied or even leading at half, turn it off & get some sleep. That way you don't waste the next few hours anxiously watching them blow it & compound the pain with a lack of sleep & being a grumpy asshole the next day. Next opportunity to use this is Sunday night vs ATL.
