  1. I will fight any of you who are say Van Halen with Hagar was better.   Van Halen with Roth, even 1984, was epic.   There are some underrated songs on 1984 like House of Pain and Drop Dead Legs.   Personally, even though I really enjoy the covers on the album, Diver Down was their weakest album with Roth.  But overall, those 6 albums are still ultra-listenable from beginning to end.  

    And I really like the some of the Sammy stuff.  But Van Halen as never the same after Roth left/got kicked out.

  2. I thought the way TNT handled it with LeBron was chicken shit crap.    That was some bush league journalism during the post game interview.   And then later during half time of the Rockets game, they doubled down and Ernie had to sell that shit as if LeBron was ready for the question.  

     

    Total crap.

    My wife used to treat a woman with Guillain-Barré syndrome that was triggered by the flu shot.  Basically the shot triggered her auto-immune disease that she didn't know she had, her nervous system shut down /w complete paralysis and she was one of the extreme cases where the paralysis never recovered.  She spent the last several years of her life confined to her bed on a ventilator with 24/7 care as a result.

    Not an anti-vaxer, but there are some diseases I'm willing to take my chances with.

    CSB.

    That's not how GBS works.   Flu shots can cause it but GBS is an involuntary bodily reaction to ANY external stimuli.   The body overreacts and starts to shut down.   I had it happen 14 years ago and spent almost a week in the hospital.   Scary as shit.   And when you find out that it can do above, yeah, it makes for some long nights in a hospital bed wondering if I'll even get to see Macanudo-ette's first steps or first word, let alone anything else.

    Also....this discussion could go in the "stuff that makes you tear up" thread.

    Seriously, that line captures everything there is to capture about the broad nature of heroism, going above and beyond for your brothers, and earning the admiration of your peers.  Hot shot astronaut, pocket protector engineer, didn't matter -- they were the brotherhood of the space program, they were all in it together, they had mutual admiration, and they gave everything they had to the mission and to their fellow team members.  It's just awesome.  It's my favorite part of the movie.

    Exactly how I feel.  The pocket protector dork gets a huge "you're a bad ass" compliment from the hot shot.   

  5. I had been using some of the Tovolo Sphere cubes that work in normal cocktail glass.  These are 2.5" but I'm not really a fan of them because 1.) they're a pain to fill and  2.) they melt through the center really fast due to the mold design.  I recently bought some square cube mold that ended up too wide for my normal glasses.   They are still 2.5" across but diagonally, they're too big.    

    Anyone have an "over sized" cocktail glasses?   

  6. Well, well, well, well. I'm here to tell you that life as you knew it has ended. You all may as well go into town tonight. You may as well laugh and make fools out of yourselves. Rub your pathetic little peckers against your honies or stick it in a knothole in the fence but whatever it is, get rid of it. Because at 0600 tomorrow your ass is mine.

    your post a few back made me so mad i went and bought a new bottle of willet the other night. it was glorious. 

    if you willet dude, it is no dream 

    Did another one with Willet tonight.  Starting to see the sublety.   Not a lot of bite but with a little less simple syrup and bitters, it had a little more oomph.  

    I'm not knocking Willet.   It's good.   I'm still experimenting with my preferences.
