  1. Is Cooper dressed in some Mardi Gras garb?
  2. Nice even 28K rep status! 👏👏
  3. Taking breaks from cocaine by going on meth benders probably explains the homeless truck driver look. They used to sell ephedrine pills over the counter at truck stops. Billy probably still has a hookup.

    Grammys

    Was coming here to post this. Crotchety old man who didn’t have to watch the show, but did anyway… and then made a video about it! I’m a fan of Lisa Loeb’s. She is a really nice person and is a hard worker, no pre-Madonna[sic] issues and tried to get her to work on a Barbie animation project when I was at Mattel, but when the Mattel producer was diagnosed with cancer and had to go through chemo, everything went to shit. Anyway, Lisa won a Grammy a few years ago (actually the year after I tried to get her on the Barbie project)… for Best Children’s Album. She does write great songs for kids, but Incouldnt help thinking that she won that Grammy because she knew so many people and was so well liked (and lights the menorah) that the Recording Academy kind of made it happen. Answer: NO It absolutely speaks to today’s nominators and voters. There really should be an Over 50 (or 55 or 60) category and then an Open category. If you are in the “Over” section, but your shit is so good that it can truly be nominated by the younger nominators, then bully for you. But the Stones and the Beatles winning shit is a joke, as Ricky B clearly stated in the video above.
  5. Why the fuck do you think Hero left the national champions knowing that he was going to get significantly more playing time next season? 1) Coldplay 2) Katy Perry
  6. A pub scored an own goal with a promotion offering a free pint every time Nottingham Forest scored - only for the Reds to win 7-0. The Gedling Inn, in Nottinghamshire, came up with the promotion to spread the word after it started to televise local Premier League games at the venue. But the incentive backfired after Forest scored seven without reply against Brighton on Saturday - and almost 300 free beers were handed over the bar. Landlady Beccy Webster said: "When the final whistle went, I just said 'phew!'" The Main Street venue had only decided on the offer on the day of the game. Miss Webster, who has run the pub for six years, said they had only just started televising the game when they decided on "a crazy offer". "Never in my wildest dreams did we imagine they'd score seven goals. "I was upstairs feeding my baby when I heard the first goal go in, then the second quickly afterwards, and I had just come downstairs when the third went in - I thought 'here we go'." But despite handing out so many free drinks, Miss Webster said it was still "a good day". She said: "People were singing, and people were respectful with the offer - lots of people were still buying drinks, people stayed for food, and lots of people have been asking if we'll be having any more offers on! "It's just nice to get behind the team - it's good for the whole city, they're putting us on the map." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8xq90788j5o 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

    Grammys

    I only learned about her existence last October or so when YouTube recommended a video of hers. I don’t have kids and am not a pedophile, so she never crossed my radar.
  8. COUNTERPOINT: He has a young baby at home. Possibly is considering staying at Texas so that he can spend more time out on the road.
  9. You are right! Merged that match… …with the Jamaica near loss. Looking at the box score, I guess that it was because we didn’t do shit until the 82’ and my brain must have been hoping for a loss to get rid of Berhalter. PS- I grabbed this photo because of the big American flag 🇺🇸, but looking at it once it was posted, I guess the behind the goal supporters’ section is arguably the gayest section in the stadium. 🤷‍♂️

    Grammys

    No one “made me”, so I didn’t watch most of it. But… My mom has a big birthday this week, my father has passed away, my sister is in town this week for my mom, my brother is a music addiction and had the remote control, and there was only so much time I could spend in the kitchen or another room with the door closed while the rest of my mother’s nuclear family sat with her and watched the bad TV show.

    Grammys

    CORRECTION: This is a TV thread in the music section. And this TV show had some atrocious music playing on it. I wish that they would announce the average age of each Category’s Nominators as well the average age of the Grammy Voters when announcing the nominees and the winners of each award. I heard a song by “Laufey” on December 11th on KXT 91.7 FM in Dallas and really liked the song. I ended up looking her up on Wikipedia and discovered that she had already won a Grammy. Then I looked up what category she won for and who her fellow nominees were… 😂 While she was in her mid 20s, another nominee was in their 30s. After that, the other nominees were 68 years-old or older. The category was something like “Contemporary Music” or something. The Grammys are chosen BY old people who have delusions of having their finger on the pulse of the music scene. The olds on this site have more of a right to bitch about shitty music than anyone, because they mirror The Recording Academy members.
  12. Watching that, you’d also think that Johntay Cook would be excited about next year, but he chose to jump off a cliff instead.

    Grammys

    My guess is that you will see him in a film in 3 years, if not sooner. This is the first stop on the Will Smith comeback tour, because he is an international film star and the international film going audience is fairly racist, so when you have a bankable actor who is pre-approved, you want to continue making bank while you can. Slapping Chris Rock is nothing compared to some of the stuff we have seen in [take that shit to the CR] “other parts of society”, so get over the slap. He’s coming back.
  14. I stopped following the team (and the league) when they took the Burn’s games off of free TV on Saturday evenings and put everything behind the Apple TV paywall. I only follow the USMNT when it comes to soccer games in the USA. The last FC Dallas Burn game I went to was in late ‘23 (or ‘22?) when Willie played after the game. I went, because I had never seen Willie live and his sister played that night before dying early the next year. Last adult soccer game I went to was in Austin when the USMNT barely beat Jamaica’s B team due to an OG right before the end of regulation that sent the game to OT.

    Was that the unseasonably tan white girl wearing a cowboy hat as Liberace accompanied her on piano? The Grammys are unwatchable.
  16. Just watched ESPN and some “Shams” guy, who is an NBA reporter for ESPN, said the following: ”This is the most stunning trade that I have ever been a part of.” WTF?!? Bro… you are NOT a part of this trade. You are a reporter! Try “This is the most stunning trade that I have ever covered.” My dad was ann editor at the Dallas Morning News when JFK was assassinated. He was in charge of determining what the paper needed to cover in town and where to send the local reporters. He was even at the banquet that JFK was in route to when the bullets went through JFK’s skull. My dad never once said: ”JFK’s assassination was the most memorable one that I was ever a part of.”
  17. …plus, your subject (chances) and your verb (is) do not agree, but keep posting. 👏👏💯
  18. If I remember correctly, Robison could block FGs/PATs like a mofo, because that guy could get up!
  19. Dale Brown had no problems buying players. That is how he could accumulate talent (a.k.a. “build a program”), but he sucked ass as a coach. Guy Lewis laughed at Dale Brown’s coaching chops.
  20. EASY explanation. Three words… COACH DALE BROWN
  21. CONFESSION TIME: I like Kadin Shedrick! There, I said it.
  22. Some of us are beginning to think so.
  23. Springfield has some massive hospital system. Don’t know specifics, but spent a night at a hotel last August that turned out to be some medium to long stay place for people receiving medical treatment at one of the hospital systems in town. Perhaps that was the refueling destination due to the ease of access from airport to medical care center if needed.
