  1. If you want to help, post about when it's OPEN!
  2. Should have gotten up early and gone to Snow's. You'd be back and napping by now. 😴
  3. Yeah I'd say you're right that the book was used as a source for the screenwriter. I think it makes sense that he would do some research to get a sense of the "atmosphere" for the screenplay. It's pretty cool that you picked up on his apparent plagiarism from a book that old. Its shit like that that really is "What's best in life." 😀
  4. So here are the current ebay listings. The thing to know is that if you want a confirmed genuine one, you will pay extra as it will have been certified by one of three services and "slabbed", meaning put into a permanent holder. To make one into a necklace, you will have to remove it from the case, which will nullify its certification. On the other hand, one that hasn't yet been certified will be cheaper but also a crapshoot. Good luck. It's a cool coin and a great gesture on your part.
  5. Someone up above lamented the loss of Leo's. El Patio on Westheimer bought Leo's recipes and serves a pretty decent rendition. There's a "Leo's" section on the menu.
  6. I've been wrong once before so it's possible it could happen again. We'll see.
  7. TP But wanted to add: I doubt it will be rebuilt as a religious structure. Ultimately it will be rebuilt as a museum. There are just not enough practicing Catholics left in Paris to bother with the expense of rebuilding as a sanctuary. My $0.02, but I would love to be wrong. And I'm not even Christian, much less Catholic.
  8. According to Wiki:
  9. You know it's fake, right? Here's another one.
  10. I had dinner with him a few times back in the 80s when he was still coaching. I would definitely have gone over, re-introduced myself, and reminded him that he still owes me three drinks of premium scotch. He doesn't, but I bet that a) I would have gotten them, and b) he wouldn't have had to pay for them. 🤘
  11. But Roegels does, I think.
  12. Another Pablo Cruise/Doobie Brothers veteran here. It was at Jeppesen Stadium at UH in 1976. I was 15. Cruise opened, followed by Santana, Marshall Tucker Band and then the Doobies. It was Sunday afternoon show in April and hot as hell.
  13. More like a hoarder who can't see the kitchen from the den due to the clutter.
  14. Well, to be that guy, it's 26,000 Light Years to the center of OUR galaxy. While a comparable black hole may be at the center of our galaxy, this image is not it. It is at the center of another galaxy. We can't see the center of our own galaxy due to the intervening dust clouds. The black hole as pictured is estimated to be some 55 million Light Years away, so the image is what it looked like about 55 million years ago. Pretty cool, eh?
  15. I'm just the grammar police. My jurisdiction doesn't extend to actual crimes. 😎 (* Brickhorn's)
  16. The black hole is spinning so the ring is the accretion disk, (the stuff that has been captured gravitationally and is "falling into" the black hole). The brighter portion is the side of the ring spinning towards us and the darker portion the side spinning away from us. Also note that this is a black hole at the center of another galaxy. It's really really big.
