    Permissively?

    From what I've read/heard, no.  At least on the drummer's part.  Allegedly, Adler (drummer) told the gal that she wasn't his GF, so she went down to the studio and fucked Axl, who had been wanting to record sex noises for the part anyhow.  Then he (Adler) got pissed after the fact.

    The glimmer of a few seconds light after an album of utter darkness is what gets me every time.

     

    Yeah.  It's a total contrast to the hour of filth that precedes it (which of course culminates with the recording of Axl banging Steven Adler's old lady in the studio right before it).  It's also the prettiest melody Axl Rose ever wrote.

    Chuck Klosterman once argued that the coda (if that's the correct term) to "Rocket Queen" was the greatest 1:30 of rock and roll recorded in the 80's.

    I can't argue.

    My girlfriend has a homemade recipe for these.  They're a pain in the ass to make.  But man are they good hot from the oven.

    My mom made this growing up.  Just called it caramel puffcorn.  Shit is quite addicting, and I don't even have a sweet tooth.

    yeah i've changed a bunch of tires both for fun and out of necessity.  i'm 36 and in the 20 years i've been driving i've had to change a tire on the side of the road three times that I can remember.  all sedans though so my spare's in the trunk.  the only part of the process i can think of where my hands are touching the ground are looking for the nock mark on the frame to place the jack.  

    Yeah, I'm usually laying on my stomach looking up under there, kneeling/sitting while putting the wheel back on the lugs, and I've had several vehicles where the spare was mounted underneath.

  7. I have changed a tire in both -10 degree weather, where it just lost air due to the cold, and in 95 degree heat.

    I'll take doing it in the heat every day.  Every hot weather tire change I've had was in a situation where I could pull off the asphalt onto a gravel shoulder, however.

    to change a tire?  what part of the process requires your knees, hips, shoulders, ribs, or hands to touch the ground?

    Have you changed a tire?  Do you maintain some kind of perfect squat position the entire time?

    Steve King's advisers have spent the morning desperately trying to get him to stop saying "my guest is a Negress" and layering him with the reasons why it's a bad idea to show up with his hair in corn rows and why that hairstyle is not at all "pro Iowa."   

    Steve King's adviser is Bubba, who runs the Cornhusker Inn in Climbing Hill.

    I agree with your assessment of Hopslam. I didn't have it until last year when Texas finally got it and I was way underwhelmed. Two Hearted is still god though imo but there is really so much better and cheaper to buy.

    Two Hearted is definitely well made.  But it very much belongs to a certain era, and I don't drink many amber, balanced IPAs these days.  Surly Furious is the same way.

    Drew is a very interesting case. He’s obviously a good coach and has gotten better with time. On the one hand, the pinnacle of his resume is two Elite 8 runs when the bracket fell apart (none of those 6 wins came against single digit seeds). On the other hand, he took over a situation as ugly as anything we’ve ever seen and turned it around. On that front he almost doesn’t have a comparison. Bill Snyder lite maybe?

     

    I think that's a very fair comparison.

    He's not elite, but he's done a pretty good job by any measure, and a remarkable one considering where he started.

    Since 2010-11 Drew has finished T-7th, T-3rd, T-4th, T-6th, T-4th, T-5th, T-2nd, and T-6th in the Big 12. We will see where he finishes this year. 

    I'm not denying he's a good coach but he hasn't consistently won in the Big 12. Heck, his overall record in the Big 12 is 120-141. That record is skewed because he took over a Baylor program that was in deep shit but the point still remains. 

    The context wasn't about NCAA tournament runs or top 25 finishes. The main point is that it's tough to win in the Big 12. Outside of Self, all these coaches are losing at least 6 games a year in league play. I view "consistent winners" as coaches that at least string together some 16-2, 15-3, 14-4, 13-5 type seasons. Again, that isn't a criticism of Drew. It's just tough to win consistently in the Big 12. 

     

    With that definition, no doubt.

    I wouldn't want Huggins because he's 65 years old but based on resume Kruger or Huggins are probably the 2nd best coach in the Big 12. 

    Kruger and Huggins are both having down years but again what coaches consistently win in this league outside of Self? 

     

    As much as it pains me to say it, Drew has won consistently.  He's never won the league, or a conference tourney, but he's got some deep NCAA runs, routinely keeps his team in the Top 25, and more often than not finishes above .500 in league play.

    I hate Baylor to my absolute core, and he irritates the fuck out of me, but I'd have to call him a consistent winner.
