  1. There was a part before it where George was playing one of his songs (can’t remember which one) but it was kind of slow and like a waltz and I thought John was giving him a hard time like we are a rock and roll band and don’t you know what kind of music we play. I think comments like that and the others mentioned (and probably stuff happening for years before) were leading to his breaking point moment where he just wants to do his own music without them shitting on it or tweaking it the way they want it versus the way he wants it.
  2. Just finished episode 1 and its pure Beatles porn for me. I was fascinated with the song creation you could see happening right before your eyes. From Get Back, Let it Be, Golden Slumbers, etc….One thing that kind of stood out to me was the Yoko dynamic. Yeah, she was all up in their shit sitting next to John the whole time but I didn’t get the feeling that really bothered anyone. The whole Yoko broke up the Beatles doesn’t really make sense as it is more apparent to me that they were kind of just growing apart both musically and as people. Especially George, as he wanted to start getting his own songs played or on the albums and you could see Paul and John kind of making fun of some of his stuff. You could see where that was driving him crazy and pissing him off. Ringo didn’t seem to give a shit about anything going on and was just content to play the drums on whatever songs they asked him to. It’s really too bad these guys couldn’t get along at the end as I would have loved to hear them collaborate in the late 1970s or 1980s (if John wasn’t killed) to see what kind of greatness they could have recorded.
  3. I can tell you I don’t give a shit what Sark did as a coach this year (I actually think he did pretty good with the crap players on the roster) but these next few weeks/months is when we will know if he can turn this around. With the upheaval at OU/LSU he needs to find a way to get these 2022 recruits (and portal kids) into the program. If he is unable to do that he will probably fail after a few years as the roster just doesn’t have enough to talent to compete in the Big 12 let alone the SEC. If he can close some of these big name kids out there and flip some OU/LSU type kids and grab some portal players that can start next year while this class is allowed to develop he could build a power house here at UT.
  4. I for one am super excited about the SEC move. Going forward all of our losses will only count as a half loss since we will be losing to the all mighty SEC teams. Instead of 5-7 this year we would be 5-3 1/2 so a winning record actually.
  5. So Riley is running away from Texas just before Sark turns things around, huh?
  6. How about a little Rambo III when he fights the USSR in Afghanistan. A more obscure one could be The Falcon and the Snowman with Sean Penn. Red Dawn and No Way Out are the answer for best Cold War movies.
  7. I had some pretty good bagels at Zuckers bagels and Smoked Fish a few blocks from Grand Central a few weeks ago even though they messed my order up (they forgot to add onion and cucumber) but the bagel and lox was pretty good. I thought Black Seed bagels at 30 Rock sucked.
  8. The Human Fund is my go to.
  9. What’s the Big 12 gonna do? Kick us out of the league?
  10. 2016 Republican Platform?
  11. My neighbor ordered a Model 3 on October 15th and the Tesla site showed a March/April 2022 delivery. That being said, they delivered the car last week to his house so it only took about 4 weeks for his Blue Model 3 from ordering to arrival.
  12. I would rather be associated with Russian hackers than our TE group.
  13. So my kid has wanted the Xbox X since last fall but haven't been able to find one. I pretty much have given up this year also. I just got an email from Microsoft saying they are allowing some select Microsoft Store Customers to purchase a bundle with an Xbox X. I thought it was a Nigerian Prince scam but I googled it and it seemed legit as there were numerous articles about Microsoft doing this. I logged in and it let me order an Xbox X bundle which should be delivered next week. Hopefully this was legit or if it wasn't some Russian hackers will now have my credit card info.
  14. Well I have heard the windmills do cause cancer so we got that going for us, which is nice.
  15. Does that matter? We are basing self defense on fear of being harmed right?
  16. I asked for comments from our resident lawyers not a fucking inbred troll. Thanks for participating.
  17. So I have a question for the actual lawyers on this site. Let's say in the future a African American man goes to a predominantly white neighborhood and is armed to the teeth with a few rifles and guns. Someone in the neighborhood comes out and says "what are you doing here". Does the man with the guns have the right to start shooting people and then claiming it was self defense because he had fear for his life? You can reverse this same scenario to a white man going into a African American neighborhood fully armed and doing the same thing. Is this technically legal now and your lawyer would cite precedent in the Rittenhouse case? I don't need to here that the white guy can do it but the black guy can't as I already know there is racial bias in this country.
  18. First car I ever purchased was a brand new Dodge Intrepid. Fucker died on the way home from the dealership and had to be towed back to it. Had problem after problem with that car and haven't owned a Dodge since.
  19. Abbott may have other motives for open carry. Maybe he figures the more people that get shot could end up paralyzed and in a wheel chair like him giving him more people to choose from for his Paralympic basketball team. 8D chess and whatnot.
  20. Forget the white supremacist angle or the 17 year old angle but is it just possible that maybe this shows that people walking around with rifles in crowded areas might just be a bad thing for our civilization? This shouldn't be a right wing or left wing thing but kind of a common sense thing. You can have your rifle in the woods when you are hunting or whatever but is there any reason a regular citizen should be walking around a crowd of people with a rifle?
  21. Once he does the drugs, bad decisions, wine and women he probably becomes our next president. That shit won't bring him down in this country.
