  1. I still chuckle over his genius idea to dig a "tunnel" underneath some middle eastern bay so a train would make it easier to get from one part of town to another. Oh, you mean a subway?
  2. Up until now, women's basketball has had more full scholarships than men's basketball?
  3. Uninterested.
  4. So you don't know the back story, and you have no idea if that happened in LA within the last day or so. Gotcha.
  5. I'm pretty sure a large majority of the public is confident about vaccine science, but here we are.
  6. Looks like some people set a Jeep on fire. What's the back story, Zeus?
  7. I feed my big older dog ~ 3 oz each chicken thigh, peas & carrots, and rice, topped with a small bit of blueberries, twice a day. At night she is usually still hungry so I give her a bowl of salmon-heavy kibble for dessert. Then she craps on the floor. The end.
  8. I was exiled to the north side of Dean Keeton (26th) and STILL spent a ton of time on the South & West malls. That's where the normal people (specifically chicks) were at.
  9. Well, it's definitely changed, so what it was doesn't really much matter any more. I'm not entirely sure things haven't changed for the better. I think the "platinum" hits going forward are more likely to be the streaming hits that land artists on main stages at festivals. Any given festival becomes a gumbo of a few artists one knows about and a whole bunch of stuff that is off the radar for any particular listener. I don't think we can put the genie back in the bottle.

    Well, damn. I could sing a half dozen of those songs right now with no prompting. Absolute hit monster.
  11. What do you have against immamac's cash flow?
  12. Probably not the right thread, so a pointer to a better one would be appreciated. I finally wrestled my wife's 2015 4Runner away from her by buying her a new vehicle. Now I want to do a little cosmetic refurb (on the 4Runner, not the wife, but . . . never mind). Mechanically, it's pretty sound, 175K miles, just a little bit of Toyota oil burn so far. Interior is great. Exterior has a couple of dents, etc. What I want to do is bondo or replace any body parts that need help and then paint the whole vehicle a different color. I am NOT looking for a show car, but I do want a good paint job. Any recs for a local (Austin) body shop that does a good job at a fair price? I'm guessing parts and paint will come in $7K-$10K but I could be off. I don't care about the investment value, the way I'm tearing myself up this might be my last car. Hey to startups.

  14. Man, I grew up watching Ozzie Smith at SS. The guy was the best fielder in the game and hit about 0.230 or so most years. Nobody gave a damn. He was the Cardinals' leader and essentially their MVP. There are all kinds of mistakes an infielder can make that don't show up in the stats.
  15. No question about it. As I remind our brethren from time to time, we should also embrace the hate.
  16. I wouldn't ordinarily laugh at the idea of a 78 YO man wearing a catheter. Then again, these are not ordinary times.
  17. Shhh! Don't give him the answer!
  18. Just exactly how fucking stupid are you? Don't answer that, you'll underestimate it.
  19. Read the story twice, you're at 38.
  20. I mean . . .
  21. Is that a doughnut? I think it's a doughnut.
  22. Ah. Yeah, I've seen enough. Dude can play. Beyond that, his attitude is infectious. (I won't lie, I can't wait to see how that plays out on the football field.)
  23. Can you elaborate? Is Sark cooling on the idea of him playing baseball or is this something else?
  24. Paul had plenty of his own. Here's the reunion show I flew up to see in St. Paul -- apropos of the thread, look who's on drums: What a fucking set list (spoilered for length):
  25. In this video, the autotune is just part of the package. I mean, we have a 3/4 waltz, we have the modern equivalent of a puka shell necklace, plaid pants that even Paul Westerberg thinks look stupid, and finally the falsetto. It's the Mount Rushmore of pussification.
