  1. I don't know about you guys, but when I'm driving and see a rattlesnake crossing the road, I always get out and try to move it by hand.  I really don't see what the alternative is.

    A 57-year-old man in Oklahoma is dead after a rattlesnake bit him twice, his wife said.

    While driving in Osage County on Sunday, Barry Lester saw a rattlesnake in the middle of the road and decided to stop to move the serpent out of the way, the Tulsa World reported.

    But while attempting to move the rattler, he was bitten -- twice.

    “It bit his left hand, and then he put it in his right and it bit that hand too,” Lester's wife, Roberta, told the newspaper.

     

    “We were just going to walk and have a day outside enjoying the lake. It was his birthday,” she said.

    After realizing he was bit, Barry told his wife they needed to go to the hospital. The couple rushed to meet the ambulance at their Turley home, which would then take Lester to a hospital in nearby Tulsa.

    But then Lester's head suddenly dropped -- and "that was it," Roberta said.

    Emergency officials tried to revive the 57-year-old but it was too late. Barry died from a “combination of the rattlesnake bite and an existing heart condition," according to the Tulsa World.

    Barry had wrangled snakes before, Roberta told the Tulsa World, which is why he was confident he would be able to remove the rattler from the road.

    But now his wife has a warning for others: "Don’t mess with snakes. If you hear it rattling, you leave it alone.”

    I am having a hard time figuring out who you are mocking here with your sarcasm. Certainly no Texas Baseball fans.

    When facing criticism of Pierce, some on this board have used "making the postseason" as measure of success compared to Augie's 1st three years.  My guess is he is responding to those comments or something similar.    

  4. Would this show even be that hard to follow without all the time hopping/non-linearity?

    I remember Ebert once writing that Memento, when watched chronologically rather than in reverse, was a rather mundane crime movie.

    Not sure if serious...he is Scottish. 

    At the end, when young William is showing Delores something (possibly "the weapon"), he looks out and repeats the line that Delores had been saying all episode about the world and splendor. Which if I didn't know William got old, I would be suspicious he was one of the orignial hosts sent out in the world to get in deep with the Rich Family, marry their daughter, convince the Patriarch to invest in the park. 

    not serious

    This show would be much better without Carrie in it

    I stopped watching this show years ago and that pretty much was the consensus back then.  

  7. ^^ I think we know it's after the party, because we saw the party guests were all dead, including Ford, who got shot in the head by Dolores at the end of Season 1.
