  1. It's a classic western structure. Minus a horse.
  2. The Shootist? Best of the 70s? High Plains Drifter and The Outlaw Josey Wales, to name just the obvious, wipe their ass with Duke's toupee. What a steaming pile of shit. The American (Clooney, 2010) is so overlooked in the genre. Perfect pace, tone & color.
  3. Y'all pussies would have loved Minnesota in the '70s. Riding in the station wagon on vinyl seats that warmed up around June, inhaling the second-hand smoke from the folks' heaters, and the closest thing to tech clothing was corduroy pants & some itchy wool sweater Gramma knit for you for Christmas.
  4. My sister began working for the VA less than a year ago after 20+ years in the private sector as an imaging tech. She took a cut in pay to be part of the mission and to have the chance to work more directly with her patients and to get out of the "take a number" cycle she'd been in for decades. She loves her new position, but is now torn with anxiety knowing that she's still in her probationary period and her fate is in the hands of dotard and fucktard Musk. Welcome to 'Merica. Where you can make personal sacrifices to serve our country's veterans, but your services may be determined to be not needed by a draft dodging, felonious rapist and a neo-nazi supporting illegal immigrant.
  5. Mrs GOTJ was filling out the curbside order on the HEB app last night & noticed that they're now selling vibrators. Not sure if she added one to her cart or not.
  6. Fuck. They might luck into a competent RB coach now.
  7. Sounds like someone hasn't discovered the wonderful world of fleece lined technical pants.
  8. Not full HT just main living room TV w/ a Denon 2.1 SB and Apple 4K streamer, but was able to convince Mrs GOTJ to divert some funds from the main bedroom /bathroom remodel to replace our 7 YO LG OLED that had developed some burn in plus the infamous green blob. This was a very high end OLED at the time of purchase (it was installed in our CEO's satellite office; turned on twice in 18 mos). When the site relocated across town it was given to me as a "thank you." Picture was excellent, but the image burn & green distortion was becoming increasingly noticeable over the last 6 months. Disappointing for a display w/ maybe 5 years total use by two of us. Viewing only. No gaming. Pulled the trigger on a Samsung QN90D Neo QLED lastSunday. Will arrive Fri. I'll live w/ the less than perfect black levels of QLED vs OLED for longer life span. Hoping that the Samsung dashboard & Smart landing page can be easily deactivated so it just powers to the input the A4KTV box will be connected to and Mrs GOTJ doesn't notice any change in UI.
  9. You can go down one helluva YouTube wormhole of Bob Clearmountain at his MixThis! studio. Fascinating stuff.
  10. Two guys notorious for not paying creditors came up with "maybe we have less debt than we thought? " Who could imagine that scenario?
  11. On ESPN this morning, one of the commentators referred to Mahomes as "the GOAT in waiting," and all I could think is how ridiculous that sounded. Is he a walk-in first ballot HOFer? Sure. But to crown him before he's even made the huge step to the plateau Joe Fucking Montana stands on is ridiculous. Yeah, Bradshaw has his 4 rings, but nobody seriously thinks he could hold Joe Cool's jock.
  12. Mahomes padding his stats!
  13. Mahomes with the worst SB performance ever as a QB.
  14. Reid looks like he needs some more chicken nuggies.
  15. I don't even know who you are.
  16. Mahomes lucky that wasn't a pick six. Some dipshit thinks he should be MVP
  17. Not just a hold but a face mask.
  18. No doubt. It's a combo of old school low tech but clean new design. Well done.
  19. Never been a shutout in the SB. Yet.
  20. What a catch by SB.
  21. Feels like Barkley is gonna bust a seam soon and house it.
  22. Hurts is balling.
  23. Mahomes looking like a rookie against this pressure.
