  1. So, what's the consensus regarding the severity of the Astros' high-tech sign-stealing system, say, relative to a scouting director hacking into a team's servers to steal draft and other personnel information?

    Asking for myself because I recall Astros fans being mighty fucking indignant about how St. Louis is the dirtiest franchise since the Black Sox and lily white Houston would never, ever dare do anything that is against the rules.

  2. Seger came through Austin recently, allegedly for the last time.

    My thoughts on Seger:

    1.  that man can write a song

    2.  in that "Night Moves" video he looks like Bob Schneider

    3.  is that Daphne Zuniga?  bonus points if so

    4.  that's definitely Joey from Friends -- points taken away

    5.  oh, almost forgot -- he was Glenn Frey's early songwriting mentor

    i can actually envision getting a gift wrapped in that shit from my incel brother in law.  would use it immediately as kindling.

    Man, I figured custom "MAGA" toilet paper would be a booming Christmas side job, but in bulk the damn stuff costs $5 per roll.  Foiled again.

    I watched Fox last night.

    Every host took turns playing the clip where Jim Jordan asks the testifying diplomats what crime Trump committed that is impeachable (neither could answer), and then they cut back to Ingraham and Hannity shouting, "THERE ARE THE STAR WITNESSES WHO CANNOT EVEN NAME A CRIME!!!"

    But that's a pretty stupid thing to celebrate, right?  

    I mean, if somebody witnesses a murder, and they're testifying about what they saw, and the defense attorney says, "Can you name the criminal statute that was violated here," and the witness doesn't know the answer.... so fucking what?  It's not their job to name the crime.  They're just describing what they know.  

    Fox News was one long string of these "HA HA HA!  GOTCHA!" when not a single fucking thing was "gotten."

    And yet Fox and Rush and the rest... they will continue to reinforce the Trumpkins' belief that their savior is falsely accused.

    I agree, but it would have been nice if Taylor or Kent had said something like "I am not a Congressman, it's not my position to speculate on what might be an impeachable offense.  I'm just here to tell you what I know."

    Night Moves.

    Preemptive "fuck off" for those who disagree.

    Oh man, I hate that song.  (Seriously.)  Creepy Bob in full force.  "And points all her own sitting way up high"  Yikes.

    I'll go with "Against The Wind".

    @jimmyjazz you still at about 8 peppers per lb of meat?

    making a bunch to freeze on Saturday and wondering if you have adjusted much of anything? don't want it to be TOO hot based on the people that want to eat it but making my first dive into the reconstituted slurry and trying to decide how many dried peppers i need for like 6-8 lbs of meat

     

    Yeah, but lately I've been trading some of the anchos for more guajillos.  Anchos are heavier and it feels like they can skew the batch too far towards that "raisin-y" flavor.  I also dropped the # of chipotles in favor of the milder peppers.

    Let's say something more like 8 anchos, 12 guajillos and 4 chipotles in a 3 pound batch.

    So, I guess my total amount of peppers (by weight) has probably gone down, but it still tastes like chili to me.

    I think it was a reflection of the fact that she isn’t steeped in the issues.  For someone like that, there was a decided lack of clarity. 

    Wouldn't that lead her to be critical of both the Democrats *and* the Republicans?  

    I'm not saying you didn't see what you saw, but if I try to be as objective as I can, it sure seemed to me that one side was trying to do nothing but deflect, and that wasn't the Democrats.

    Which isn’t remotely related to what I said. For the 10,000th time Trump is a moron.  He isn’t smart enough to play puppet master to foreign countries doing his bidding. 

    That's an interesting take.  "He's too stupid to be played by the smart guys."

    I'm not really sure that holds up to scrutiny, but Benghazi!

    Yeah, that opening of BOR is another volume blaster, same with Eminence Front. 

    Man, I am a HUGE fan of "Eminence Front", even though it's Kenny Jones on drums.  In fact, I (gasp) think the song is better for it.

    Catchier sure...  better...  nope

    I'm sticking with 'bama.  Lyrically, it's light years beyond "Freebird".  Add the riff and the fact that "Freebird" owes its fame as much to being a cultural touchstone as it is for the song itself, yeah, I can't go there.

    so did I understand Schiff's closing remarks to mean that he has not spoken to the whistleblower nor does he know their identity? did i hear that right? someone interrupted me during that segment so I only half listened

    Schiff was quite clear in his comments today that he does not know the identity of the whistleblower.

    Obviously, Shifty Schiff must be lying, because Benghazi!

    ACC, B1G, SEC & B12 had FF reps last season. 

    I looked it up -- 3 of the past 4 years the B12 has had a team in the Final Four.  Seems a bit inconsistent with the criticism.

    Dang, thought this thread was about a Randy Travis song... 😀

    Randy is thinking "damn, I should be stoned high and nekkid in the passenger seat and I wish Carrie were my dyke manager/ex-wife instead".

  14. Forgive my faltering memory, but hasn't the Big XII put a team in the Final Four most years recently?  I mean, if that's the standard, then let's at least point the criticism in the right direction.

    Saw 'em back in the day, they came in late on the southern rock thing, and went out with it just as quickly.

    My first backstage experience.  I was probably a HS senior or college freshman -- months before, my buddy and I had surreptitiously wormed our way into "press passes" to see regional hitmakers (LOL) Shooting Star, and we interviewed them for the school paper, of which I was editor.  We ended up striking up a friendship with the band and down the road they invited us to see them open for Molly Hatchett in St. Louis.

    It was eye-opening.  Much whiskey, many women.  "Almost Famous" writ large.
