  1. Placenta Paul was robbed in this AM's E-Brake voting. Also, this revisiting of OJ/Kate Delaney interview in multiple segments got me to remembering a bit. They said that interview was from 2007. Never realized that was done here in Dallas. We were running around quite a bit at Travis Walk in those days and one night a couple of buddies were coming out of Trece and noticed OJ was sitting at a table on the patio with a group. Based on the timeframe, I'm wondering if that was around the time of the interview -- or maybe OJ was coming to Dallas a bit then. I dunno. Anyways, one of my friends loudly started yelling: "There's a murderer on the patio at Trece! There's a murderer on the patio at Trece!" My recollection is that OJ gave them a pretty serious death stare. I don't remember the exact setup of Trece (was the patio "open" viewing to the street or was there a tall brick wall. My other friend said they got the fuck out of there pretty quickly. /csb
  2. He’s looking more and more like The Penguin
  3. I was at the (then) brand-new Ballpark in Arlington. College/HS buddy of mine and I went up to hang out with an Alamo Heights girl we knew at TCU that weekend. Went to the Ballpark that night. Heard about the Bronco chase, or saw it when I was getting a beer at the concession stand. Pretty soon, there were more people watching the little TV's in the concourse than were sitting in the stands at the Rangers game.
  4. Drudge Report weighs in:
  5. Woo-hoo. I got my team in under the wire 25-30 mins ago and was in GenPop. But your link let me move over into the Surly group.
  6. That Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich slams and goes hard late in the afternoon after walking all day.
  7. I just picked a foursome. Not seeing how I can find the Surly group. Too late to get in there? (That's what she said.)
  8. Canucks lost to Arizona in OT so there’s one point off the magic number. The Oil beat Vegas so the magic number for the West is three vs both of them.
  9. Hell, I liked the Star Trek re-boot though most of that was probably the fact that I loved the casting of Pine, Quinto, Zoe, Pegg, etc. I think the latest SW trilogy certainly had issues but it ultimately ran circles around the three garbage prequels that came on Lucas’s watch. (The second in the latest trilogy was bad but it wasn’t Attack of the Clones bad. OK, maybe it was tied for “that bad.”)
  10. Can a Beth Van Duyne constituent get in on this?
  11. It’s pretty simple for the Stars in the division. Collect two points either from positive results in their final three games or the Avalanche dropping points in their final three (Jets have four games remaining so they’re kinda/sorta tied with COL). That leaves us battling Vancouver (most likely) for #1 in West and the NY Rangers, Boston and Carolina for the President’s Trophy from the East. (I only spotlighted NYR and Boston in the East at this point. After the next game or two, might need to double back with the Canes, who have a pretty easy finishing schedule and could easily get to 113 points.) Here’s a cheat sheet for what’s left: NY RANGERS (110 points, 3 games remaining) vs Phil (83 points, two points back of WC2 in East) vs NYI (87 points, currently 3rd in Metro, two points ahead of Wash, three ahead of Pitt and four ahead of Phil) vs Ott (72 points, third-worst team in East) Summation: the two games against Phil/NYI are against teams in must-win mode, either to get in playoffs or get highest seed possible; Carolina’s finishing schedule is pretty easy (STL, Chi, Columbus) so this could get tight for East #1 DALLAS (109 points, 3 games remaining) vs Winn (102 points, two back of COL but have four GR) vs Sea (79 points, eliminated from playoffs) vs STL (87 points, five points back of VGS and six back of LAK for WC2 with four GR) Summation: pretty simple, get two points from the above (or get them from Col/Winn); Blues *could* be playing for something in the final game but they’re a long shot to still be in it by the time Game 82 rolls around BOSTON (107 points, 3 games remaining) at Pitt (84 points, battling for their playoff lives) at Wash (85 points, battling for their playoff lives) vs Ott (72 points, third-worst team in East) Summation: two tough road games against teams fighting against elimination; don’t think Wash can be officially eliminated before the Boston matchup VANCOUVER (104 points, 4 games remaining) vs Ari (71 points, third-worst in West) at Edm (99 points, six GR so very much in the thick of things for the division, and possibly the West if they go 6-0-0 to close) vs Cgy (75 points, sixth in Pacific and 2-8 in last 10) at Winn (102 points, four GR) Summation: Stars’ Magic Number is four to clinch #1 in West; Canucks have tough games at Edm/Winn though the final game might not matter for one (or both) of those teams; Edmonton starts run of six games in nine nights this evening (three games in next four nights, get a day off and then three more in four nights), which is a brutal finishing schedule and McDavid is day-to-day COLORADO (104 points, 3 games remaining) vs Winn (102 points, four GR) at Vegas (92 points, five GR) vs Edm (99 points, six GR) Summation: Must win out and hope Stars crater to win division; basically in a dead heat with Winnipeg for home-ice in R1, would love to see the Avs slip to 3rd behind WPG WINNIPEG (102 points, 4 games remaining) at Dal (109 points, first in West) at Col (104 points, three GR) vs Sea (79 points, eliminated) vs Van (104 points, lead Pacific) Summation: Jets are 4-5-1 in last 10 but if they win tomorrow in Dallas and at Colorado, look out … EDMONTON (99 points, 6 games remaining) vs Vegas (92 points, five GR) vs Ari (71 points, eliminated) vs Van (104 points) vs SJ (45 points, worst team in NHL) at Ari (71 points, see above) at Col (104 points, three GR) Summation: crazy scheduling for Edmonton and Vegas in the final week. Edmonton plays six games in the season’s final nine days, including two three-in-four-days situations with one day of rest in between. Vegas crams in five games in that stretch. Brutal.
  12. Arizona bitch-cunt Kari Lake, who once praised Arizona's 1864 law, now having second thoughts. You know what, Kari? Fuck you in your fucking worthless face, you fascist piece of shit. https://www.yahoo.com/news/arizona-court-just-took-abortion-172756484.html Flip, flip, flip-Arizona!
  13. Shoot me a PM and I'll give you my email address where you can send current decs. I don't know why Travelers wouldn't offer an umbrella policy.
  14. Man, just realizing the hectic schedule my wife and I have coming up in May: 5/2: Kurt Vile & the Violators in Dallas 5/10-5/12: Kilby Block Party in SLC (LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend, Postal Service/Death Cab, Courtney Barnett, Yoke Lore, Interpol, Dinosaur Jr and others) 5/14: The Decemberists in Dallas 5/15: Phosphorescent in Fort Worth (live music for the fifth time in six nights) 5/25: Rainbow Kitten Surprise in Austin
  15. Then you have Droolingly dumb +++++++ Treasonous
  16. I have all the respect for you, TwiceHorn and all the real lawdogs on this site. I think what has become painfully obvious to many of us non-attorneys is that while this is apparently following the law for the most part -- Cannon's fuckery aside -- but I think what's been illuminated is that this country's justice system is set up in a way that it plays right into the hands of the wealthy. The scales of justice are tilted toward the haves rather than the have-nots. This stands to reason because the system was set up -- and tweaked over the years -- by this wealthy, ruling class for the most part. Of course the rules will favor this sector of the public. These cases against Trump are the highest-profile cases this country has ever seen. Period. There is a massive spotlight being shined on the system and it's forced many of us who don't live it day-after-day like y'all to take a 30,000-foot view and say, "Hey, this system fucking sucks in many ways." Hopefully, we will ultimately get where we need to get. Anything short of Trump convicted and in financial ruins is a loss for this country and the judicial system.
  17. Pretty sure that's that Alex Stein dipshit yelling the questions and filming Lindsay.
  18. Oops. I thought they'd played one game more than us. (Sometimes it's difficult as some sites/apps update standings immediately after games end and some wait until the next day.)
  19. Stars win. Magic number to clinch Central down to two, three to clinch the West. Rangers lost in the East. Rangers at 110 points, Stars have 109 but we have a game-in-hand on them. Canucks host the Coyotes tomorrow. As far as possible first-round opponents go, the Predators clinched a playoff spot tonight and are at 95 points. Defending champ Vegas is at 92 but have two games-in-hand on Nashville. I would think Vegas would rather play Vancouver than Dallas in R1 if possible. Myself, I’d like to avoid them as well in the first round because as either @Beau Vine or @Longhorn_Fan68 said, the Knights are about to get really, really “healthy.”
  20. Ridiculous call on Miro for game misconduct. These refs are an embarrassment.
  21. Might be the softest goal he’s let in this year.
