Foo Fighters or The Killers?
There are moments of Killers songs that I absolutely love (the back half of "All These Things I've Done" is perfect), and I feel like I should love Sam's Town - but I just have never gotten it to take root. But Colour & The Shape is a nearly perfect rock album. It's better than a lot of other bands I like's best work. And there have been plenty of shitty Foo Fighter songs since (and plenty fucking great ones too), but that album is an incredible mix of all of it's influences. There's punk. There's 70's arena rock. There's wistful singer/songwriter folk. There's grunge. Sometimes it's all in the same song. It's a staggering record. My hottest musical take is that it's the best record Dave Grohl ever participated in making. Certainly not the most important. Certainly not the most popular. Certainly not the most influential. It doesn't get it's due credit, in large part because Grohl never really pushed the envelope stylistically, and because he never topped it. It's just so god damn good.

Non-Texas weather. The all-encompassing thread
-30 is my record. I was getting up every 3-4 hours in the middle of the night to start our vehicles and let them run.

Popular comedians that are not funny. I’ll start : Bert Kreischer
Tom Segura. He used to be funny. His head is so far up his own ass nowadays.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Clark and Eddie's interactions are always the funniest shit to me. In the earlier movies, there's a sense of genuine concern on Clark's part that eventually morphs into the deadpanned, muted hatred you see in Christmas Vacation. And it all just bounces right off Eddie.

Chefs leaving KCMO for KCKS
It looks like Jerry World fucked the Vikings stadium and had a baby. Which given KC being the midpoint between those cities on I-35 is kinda fitting.

Chefs leaving KCMO for KCKS
I'm not trying to be a dick, but just look at a map. Iowa's largest metro is an hour closer to KC than it is to anywhere else with pro sports. I live up on the Minnesota border, and not far from Wisconsin either. Vikes and Pack are basically tied for local favorite team, with Bears and Chiefs tied for 2nd. If you get closer to Chicago, you see more Bears, and closer to KC you see more Chiefs. The recent success has lead to a lot of young kids statewide being Chiefs fans. When I was growing up they were #4 in my school, despite being closer than the Green Bay or Chicago.

Getting rid of Arrowhead (and Soldier Field for that matter) for some indoor stadium where they can have boat shows in January sucks.
