  1. Since this will be the third version of Dune, we are probably at the point where most people have either read the book(s) or seen one of the prior versions. Having two threads would almost be like having two threads when Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ sequel comes out.


    This. I’m all for some NERDZ hot takes pissing off the general forum, but GOT was a completely different animal. A single film (reimagined) of a single novel written years ago isn’t the same as a still incomplete (finish the damn books George!) fiction series turning into a pop culture phenomenon that ran for years.

    It’ll be interesting to see if WOT series can generate the same enthusiasm. Less sex. Less gratuitous violence early. Less implied danger to main cast throughout. More “mental” magic hard to capture on film, and may be most importantly, not HBO Sunday night prime time.

    Hey we can’t be allowing players to hook up with coeds right now as they may be carrying Covid. Save it for after the season

    Are you the HS coach from Dazed and Confused?

    "I    Kai Money     agree  to not indulge in any alcohol, drugs, sex after twelve, or engage in any other illegal activity that may in any way jeopardise the years of hard work we as a team have committed to our goal of a championship season in 2020"

  3. Not to derail the dancing/advertising QB thread, but It would be an interesting study of long term franchise success versus average duration of consistent QB1s in that same 20yr time period. Not that causation = correlation.

    You have Detroit for instance:
    Just-a-guy, Harrington, Kitna, (Journeyman?), Stafford. Consistent for ~10 years and a handful of Wildcard losses to show for it versus.

    NE:
    Bledsoe, Brady, Newton (yesterday)

    NO:
    Brooks, (journeyman?), Brees

    GB:
    Farve, Rodgers

  4. I'd say, "Let's go get a drink." 


    That assumes alcohol at my house.

    “Coke” is carbonated sodawater usually from a drive thru, possibly random fountain.
    “Sweet/shake” is a malt, shake, float, blizzard, soft serve, etc. Possibly dine in during the before times, but likely from a fast food place.

  5. She lost her lawsuit against Anadarko so I'm sure the facts are somewhat skewed but this old fart hopes the dude has to give up his jackpot.


    Lulz. I agree with your sentiment, but “help the shareholders at the expense of the board and senior management?!?”
    Oldrichpowerbrokerslaughing.meme

    No way any of those bonuses and payouts get back to old APC shareholders.

    As of this summer LLOG, Beacon, and other partners were pursuing subsea trees and a floating production hub for Shenandoah...we’ll see.
  6. “3 day weekend, lots of chores to get done. Plus we’d like to leave a little free time in the late afternoon to swim or try for some dove.

    Stop. What was that?”

    {cattle}lulz fuck your plans. Look at me! I gotta pretty necklace! Look at me, I’m doing dumbass bull calf things. Moooo! 419e14946e483a627adb5e09e1a7621f.jpg

  7. Not that this is a shock to anybody, but supply chains/inventory are super fucked. Couple anecdotes, One friend runs an independent mattress shop and he can’t come close to filling his insane back orders b/c the wood isn’t available for box springs, and coil springs aren’t exactly plentiful.

  8. Yep, she's in college (well, her classes are online right now, but she went back to campus). 


    Is she putting crawfish tails on poutine?
    Or maybe making goose tamales? Maple syrup on a cabrito pierogi?

    This thread demands answers!
