  1. Yeah, having recruiting connections in both Texas and the Midwest makes him a really, really good fit in Stillwater.
  2. Dudes who drive diesel pickups and never pull anything with them are definitely a trivial thing that makes me surly.
  3. I think they've been distributed nationally for a long time. Our small town grocery store in north Iowa sold them in the 80's-90's when I was a kid.
  4. With diesel farm equipment we almost never shut them off to fuel mid-day, due to the low risk of diesel igniting and the wear and tear saved on the engine. But with gas, I won't fuck with an engine running while fueling.
  5. I'd file that under "solid but not flashy". It probably won't get the immediate splash that hiring someone like Alford would, but I think it would probably work out better in the long run. The guy has taken some pretty out of the way places into the Dance.
  6. Exactly. Woody fits and grooves with Keith better than anyone else, but you just wouldn't get "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" with anyone other than Mick Taylor.
  7. That could get my ass back into the Soda Stream game.
  8. Yeah, that's not much of an argument. That said, the Stones best work came with Mick Taylor. He was the perfect foil for Keith, IMO.
  9. I'm not saying that he was useless to the Beatles and that they would have been as good with someone else, but I AM saying that the credit he gets is excessive. George and Paul were better musicians, singers, and songwriters. Ringo was a better musician and singer. To many people, John Lennon is the definitive Beatle. To me, he's the guy that brings the least to the band.
  10. That's a power lunch right there.
  11. My Beatles take for this thread is that John Lennon is the worst member of the band, and not all that compelling of an artist in general. He was a self absorbed sociopath who hit women and somehow became the face of "peace and love, man". He was third place (at best) in everything he did for the band (guitar, vocals, songwriting) and was the worst musician overall of the 4. Everything he did in the Beatles, multiple other members did better. And he was a shit person to top it off.
  12. This is an unpopular opinion?
  13. And of course, the cover so original that it preceded the original's release.
  14. Tonight Show with Leno I guess.
  15. Even Bush had a cover on Letterman or something that I like. It's from the height of their popularity and instead of playing one of their own Nirvana rip-offs they were just like "nah, we're doing the greatest fucking song of all time".
  16. They're big co2. I honestly don't remember the cost, but it was cheap as hell for the amount of uses. IIRC you didn't have to refill it, but the cost of a new bottle really cut into the savings.
  17. You got a lot more than one liter out of a fill on the soda streams. At least as I recall it. It's been 5-6 years at this point.
  18. I have absolutely no clue who that person is, and I'm probably glad about that.
  19. This might be an unpopular opinion, but at this point it's on him. And who in their right mind would want to live with their parents while married? I barely understand single people over the age of 18 living with their parents.
  20. That's a step down from what was getting thrown around in the early rumor mill, but he's had a pretty solid last half a decade.
  21. And that's kind of the rub with them at the end of the day. They have a history of excellence, but so few people give an active shit about Stanford athletics. I understand why the Big 10 wouldn't want them, I'm just making the comment that by having that game in the fold of the Big 10, there would be almost nothing left in terms of opponents they care about for the Domers not to come willingly.
  22. Something like this seems really likely to be the final result. The football playoff model will look similar to the way it currently does (SEC and Big 10 will retain the bigger payouts) and they'll probably fuck up March Madness to make it heavily (like 80%+) out of these 3. If the Big 10 just added Stanford they might finally join willingly.
  23. They stay Independent in football and keep some kind of scheduling alliance with either the Big 10 or Big 12 and then play hoops in that league.
  24. We had a soda stream and loved it, but my wife quit working in a town with a Wal Mart where we can refill it, and now refills are inconvenient to the point where we just went back to cans.
  25. I'm in the camp of Season 9 not quite measuring up. It still has quite a few classic episodes and absolute series defining moments. I think it lacks the same quality of dialogue as the Larry David years, and while I get what they were doing with the whole meta-absurdity thing, it just doesn't work for me. They introduce some new ancillary characters that just don't quite develop like the earlier ones did and almost distract. Like FDR - why even bring him in? Newman was already the perfect overweight foil. It's still really good, and mostly suffers by comparison to the greatness leading up to it.
