  1. Seeing Spanish Revival outside of the SW is always a bit jarring.
  2. So much this. As long as the tiny sliver of the electorate that can't make up it's mind in a normal fashion comes away from the debate saying "I can live with her" she'll have won. The failure to do that is what sunk Hilary, particularily because a slice of the electorate decided to YOLO Trump before all of his awful Trumpiness was on full display. If she can manage to turn that "I can live with this" into "I like this lady!" then she can actually put a landslide on the table. The ugly truth for democrats is they haven't run an actually likeable entity since Obama (and I'd argue the 2008 version, not the 2012). Joe was old and on fumes by 2020. But you gotta go back to 1996 to find a candidate that made America say "This guy fucks!" (Literally and rhetorically).
  3. You going to post the pics of that Banh Mi or just fuck the rules now?
  4. Saw Bruce for the first time last night. Absolutely lived up the the hype. I have no idea how he does that. I'm 51 and just watching the show wore me the fuck out.
  5. She's on the laminated part of my marriage hallpass, along with Hurley.
  6. Wait. Hold up. Are you saying crying during Terms of Endearment is optional as a man? Was one of you assholes going to clue me in or where you just going to let me get the ugly cry forever?
  7. He's just a degenerate gambler with a blog at this point in his life. Why don't you go pay to see some more flops, Nate, and then lecturer us how it's not just a classier version of old ladies shoving coins in the slots? This is such a wild thing. Alternatively, they want a 6 month CR because they think they will be in a better place next March. Conversely, if I'm the Democrats, I'd be nervous about a lame duck Omnibus. What's to keep McConnell, after a Harris victory, and the chaos of a friendly transition from looking at Schumer and saying "Nice Victory, Chuck. It'd be a damn shame if the government was in shut down during Inauguration. But I'm sure that won't happen.... Anyway, here's a list of my.... "priorities"... for the end of the year Omnibus."
  8. House Park is lowkey one of the best stadiums in the world, given the setting and location. I've told this story before, but when I was in HS at Westlake in the late 80s early 90s, about half of the Westlake Parents and Grandparents were Austin High grads. Everybody went to church together all across Austin and the Westbank. A bunch of the players were kids of Darrell Royal era Longhorn teams. The Austin High/Westlake game at House Park was just this amazing opportunity for everyone to have a mini family reunion in the parking lot and sideline, late in the year after the heat had broken so it was actually pleasant to be outside. Getting a seating at El Patio pre game was on Par with UT gamedays.

    It’s got a pretty cool soundtrack with bands like Mudhoney. My guess is the music rights are a fucking disaster because they weren’t permanent when the movie was made, and it’s just not possible to get them squared away to stream for what it would cost.

    This was written by Weselyan Grads who graduated a few years ahead of me. To describe this as a comical but realistic expression of my time at Bates would be accurate. I played Ultimate with guys that looked exactly like half the cast. I even saw George Clinton at Colby.
  11. This is my take, although I have a soft spot for Alien 3 because it’s David Fincher’s first flick even if he disowned it, and Charles Dutton goes damn hard. Romulus has got the atmospheric’s in spades and some excellent jump scares/oh shit moments. They did a Good job of turning the creepy HR Giger factor to 11. Glad I saw it in the theater instead of Deadpool. This movie deserves a cinematography nomination for sure.
  12. There is zero chance this Supreme Court allows a tax on Unrealized Capitol gains. They’ll accept the argument the 16th Amendment doesn’t provide sufficient coverage.
  13. Fucking hang half a hundred. LFG.
  14. This is sorta how I imagine the night shift this morning:
  15. This place was fucking wild last night.
  16. He’s a god damn deep cut for me. As a swamp dweller.
  17. Jesus Fuck. Nothing says I’m with it and ready to take the helm like……….:.Leon Panetta.
  18. They don't play baseball because they are insightful wise people. They play baseball because they have 20/10 vision and can throw a ball hard. Mental horsepower is not really a requirement, or frankly, even a useful item.
  19. Just a sidenote: As an Eastern Time person, God-F*cking-Forbid anyone on the West Coast be forced to turn on a live TV event before 7 PM. The highlights of Biden's speech are great, but good lord, it's like the NCAA championships in starting way too fucking late.
  20. How you going to make it without Bob Barker?
