  1. The media is so petty. Just trying to stir up shit. I see this so often. I listen to a lot of podcasts, mostly about hoops. They will take literally 1/20th of a pretty good take from a player, throw it onto an infographic with quotes and none of the original context, and then put it out on IG or FB for people to gobble up.
  2. Does this have something to do with Lalo?
  3. Thanks Skip! I am really close to pulling the trigger. Do those little adjustable feet come off?
  4. The spring fair at my daughter's elementary school is Friday. This is the big gig. We did our first one in 2018 and did it again in 2019 and obviously the fair was cancelled the past two years so we're back baby! I have two more years of this and then it might be time to bequeath the trailer to someone else. I spent this weekend prepping. I had to clean the pit out. From a few years of experience my best method for cleaning is a grease fire. I drained as much grease as I could out using the ball valve and yeah that's gross and there are for sure a few stains on the driveway. Then I burned it out on Friday with the help of some charcoal in the belly of the barrel and some lighter fluid. It was pretty successful. Nice big, long burning fire. Then the next day I knocked all of the ash and dust off and used the ball valve tube and a bucket underneath to clear as much ash as I could. Then the coin op power wash - pulled everything out and hit them with the high psi spray and knocked all of the crap off that I could. Finally, I bought 6 cans of PAM and sprayed the entire thing down inside and out and burned it out really good last night with some lump in the firebox. Still could use some TLC but looking pretty good and we're ready for Thursday/Friday. I think we are going with 6 briskets, 4 butts, 4 racks of spares and 220 hot dogs.
  5. Ha. I liked boxing as a kid but even then the action sequences in Rocky looked absurd to me. I think I maybe saw the first Star Wars because I remember liking R2D2 when I was maybe 6. The treasure hunter genre didn't do much for me, either. I liked B2 the future 1 and Ghostbusters 1 a lot in that era. I liked action movies in the cop or martial arts genres because I was too stupid to realize that Frank Dux winning the Kumite or that a 6'6 Putin propagandist Jewish guy with a ponytail practicing aikido were also absurdly fake things.
  6. The way stache feels about Top Gun is also the way I feel about Top Gun. And Star Wars. And Indiana Jones. And Rocky.
  7. CJ McCollum is going to be doing finals games as an analyst. I like his podcast, hopefully that talent carries over into the booth. I would way rather hear analysis from a current player than Reggie Miller, for example.
  8. Ok nvm
  9. Warming up the hot take machine. With 9 minutes left and Boston up 7 I am 1000% convinced that Heat win by double digits.
  10. Answered my own question via Google. Covid.
  11. Why is Mark Jones calling the game instead of Breen?
  12. Regardless of collegiate or political affiliations she is in an extremely vulnerable position. I don't pretend to know the politics of the situation but my understanding is that there was a time to be low key on this and that time has now expired and more noise is a good thing.

  13. @Skipper Are you still liking that Bowflex max? I am in the market, I have ridden my recumbent ex bike nearly every day for a few years but my lower back is giving me fits and so I've been using the elliptical. I dig the extra calories it burns vs the bike. I love the small footprint of the max and it appears to be an even better calorie burner vs a straight elliptical. The problem is the height. My ceilings in my basement where I would put it are 6'11.5. Without shoes I'm a shade under 6. I tried one at Dick's with my tape measure in shoes and it looks like I might just barely hit 7'1. But I have padded carpet down there and would be riding barefoot. Plus I can't imagine I'm standing totally upright during a workout. The backup plan is that I'm knocking out my drywall ceiling in an area of the basement within a year anyway so I would have the clearance then. Does it have a slope setting today would make it go even taller?
  14. This night is a little depressing for me. They are buffoons but I really enjoy the Inside crew. I also really enjoy the NBA and I hate that it's coming to an end. Even though these games have been terrible.
  15. Oh boy. The Warriors have something to learn about winning a conference from their NHL brethren. Never touch the trophy! This has Pat Bev play in vibes. It's on the NBA not Golden State but it's kind of silly.
  16. I am on edge waiting to find out who will win the inaugural Earvin A. Johnson WCFMVP Award.
  17. Ah, the sweet soliloquy of the Guatemalan Ass Pigeon.
  18. What in the shit is that woman wearing? Is that Cruella DeVille?
  19. Was there some sort of interaction between Saul and Lalo in BB? Can't remember. Also why are Jimmy and Kim so mad at Howard?
  20. James McGill lettered in track at Morton High in Cicero.
  21. Being high is supposed to make you less surly.
  22. I guess now we'll never know. Namaste.
  23. Check out the Letterman KD interview on Netflix. Interesting stuff. Watched it last night. Also I think the best word to describe KD is surly. Legitimately. He's a surly mfer.
  24. Pretty striking parallel there between Howard and Lalo. Both are being targeted in next gen thinking scams. One realizes after the fact, the other sees it real time. Is Gus smart enough to know that Lalo would sniff out his trap and plan a second contingency?
