  1. so you did buy the comforter?
  2. skinner scratched so i'm down to confidence game and disarm. verifying and mage are also attractive as longshots.
  3. the deaths have cast kind of an ominous tone over all the races that day. i dont blame them for erring on the side of caution.
  4. was looking for a derby thread. wasnt sure if it would be here or gambling. who you got? my longshot bet is on disarm. my pick to win right now would be between tapit twice and kingsborn. ive always liked desormeaux so would love to see confidence game win, and his brother was the jockey on curlin (who is the sire of skinner), so skinner i'm also pulling for.
  5. watched the first episode last night. pretty entertaining and will stick with it. not sure why every writer/producer/director insists on making this story a comedy. just like in gaslit, the players are made to look like buffoons. i mean, they were to begin with, but they just overplay it.
  6. i fly into canada often. would never consider it without a passport. everything changed in 2001. covid changed canada-us relations/border crossings but not in regards to passports.
  7. I had lunch with mcwilliams every tuesday. anybody could have, but i happened to work in the student union and wasn't all that keen on studying. there was practically nobody there - maybe 20 people max. and it was open to the press, public, anybody that wanted to come. times have changed.
  8. i would like for any surly attorneys to chime in on the scenario of a defense attorney having evidence and not disclosing it. thats one thing. but i would also like their opinions on how they heard about it. what would make a judge get both attorney teams in a car and traipse over to an office where they find a gun in a safe? it could be any old gun. he has no proof that it's the murder weapon so for him to even give credence to the ada's allegation is suspicious.
  9. dont know what to say about this poor lady. ive been to three of her places there and they were all top notch, maybe the best restaurants in town for what they were. she might be the best pastry chef in the state. but damn if there isnt something odd and suspicious about her not being able to keep a restaurant open.
  10. that would be so damn nice. nobody knew about the gun in the safe but those three. still unexplained how the ada found out. stricklands nails were black from trying to break into perry's house, but he had it chained. then later someone breaks into perry's office. well, technically doesnt seem like a breakin, nobody noticed anyway, and whoever did it had the combination, so again not much of a breakin.
  11. sounds great. good for you for doing it and gaining some memories and experience. i did utah three years in a row, but am itching to get back. whats ironic, and not to get too cloakroomy, but what the rest of the country loves so much about utah is what utahans hate the most - that the majority of the state is public lands. they're craving development and the money that comes with it, and we go there to get away from all that. the road beckons.
  12. does anyone know if there is there still a driving range off the toll road near parmer?
  13. didnt emma+ollie permanently close?
  14. ive always preferred felix's myself. thats one way to go, and sounds delicious, but i prefer a little cream in my mussels, especially when dipping bread in the leftover broth.
  15. some great chefs booted the last three weeks running. my money is on congo or poland next.
  16. it is a pretty good show. lots of characters that are loose threads and need to all come together in the end - the rich oil lady/piano teacher and her cuckhold attorney (they may be innocent), the dickhead dad, the councilman, the rough, drunk-looking cop that seems to always be up to no good, the black gangster (he may be innocent), etc. i still dont get the story with della and her lovers and why they are telling it. i also am unclear on the nature of the tension around where drake is staying. they seem to be insulting him around the domino table. is it because he's not working or paying rent? arent they calling him an uncle tom too, or did i just imagine that? interesting that the last episode ended with shea wigham being asked about his relationship with perry. hopefully he comes clean to perry with what he was approached to do.
  17. there also has to be an arc to the ruthless dickhead grocer. why would they spend time on that story if it didnt tie into something? I hadnt thought about the rich lady having a part in this. i've thought all along it was the father. he was fighting with his son quite a bit, plus he seems to be threatened by perry investigating.
  18. i always thought she was hot, but seeing her nude was a nice surprise. i do wish they wouldnt spend so much time on her love story though. it makes me wonder if they arent intentionally trying to get us interested because they plan a spinoff. the show is called perry mason.
  19. fuck me. i didnt know it was closed. heading that way for 4 night mid-april, and it was a must stop for the visit, at least for a cold beverage. that sucks.
  20. i saw it, but don't remember much dramatic happening but it's possible i fell asleep. recap for me please. i remember some stuff about leon in africa, coming back and finding the hood in disarray, and pretty much everyone's storyline sinking like a rock. very depressing season so far. so much excess and living high on the hog up and now everyone is barely holding on.
  21. i was recently turned on to a cheap, easy weeknight meal - one package of shrimp ramen, and 1 lb of shrimp. it's actually pretty damn good, light, healthy, simple, quick, and affordable.
  22. absolutely the craziest person ive ever seen on the show. the expressions on her face say it before she even opens her mouth, and then there's usually some guttural shriek or scream or manly bass-toned groan. i would be sleeping on the beach if i were on her tribe. cant vote her out quick enough. she must realize she doesnt speak well because she was the quietest person at tribal. hardly said a word even when jeff addressed her.
  23. glad to see they're changing it up. the challenges seemed new, the idols seemed new, etc. i'd like to see the historical data for how many people that have gone off to a different island and come back and lied. how many tell the truth, how many lie? what a weird tribal that smacked of rookiedom. playing your shot in the dark right off the bat (which turned out to be stupid)? playing your idol right off the bat (which turned out to be smart)?
