  1. Definitely, but still quite the challenge. 
    I was thinking that the closest analogy would be if MLB allowed bullpen catchers to play in games in emergency situations, i.e., if all the catchers on a team's roster got hurt in a game.  Many bullpen catchers are former minor league or college catchers just like this guy was a former minor league goalie.  In this guy's case, it would be like a bullpen catcher coming into the game and playing against the team whose pitchers he typically helps warm up.       


    Also probably don’t want to risk skaters injuring themselves doing motions in the crease they’re not used to doing.

    Wife noticed that they didn’t show a single scene of Hannah the morning after but spent a lot of time showing the Homewrecker.

    Didn't she sit down and talk with Madison when she came in? Or was I hallucinating?

    Think he means there were no wake-up-the-next-morning-in-bed footage like they always seem to show. Also making the three girls stay together during this week is a change-up from seasons past.

    Regarding Peter's creepy mother, if you recall his parents were basically high-fiving him during the part during the men tell all portion of Hannah B's when it came out that he fucked her four times in the windmill on their fantasy suite date. Madison is the only one they've met at this point.

    and soon to transfer from claude into the fat dad?   so the only way to stop this thing is isolate (or kill) fat dad to keep him from scratching anyone new?

    Catching up on the app. Fucking Midland as the biggest show of the week, George? I love the Musers but that is consistently the worst segment they do all week next to Peter King. 

    Peter King is worse by a mile. At least you get some comedy from Gordo from time to time though that's gone down precipitously of late. I love using Gordo's sarcastic "Thaaaaaaaank Yoooooooou" when something shitty comes on the radio and my wife is in earshot. Haven't heard ABBA in awhile either.

    But George isn't entirely wrong. Midland is a decent-sized modern country act. The music is pretty benign, somewhere between Nashville's poppy bro-country shit and the stuff we like. It's not terrible. It's also not a bigger show than the Eagles and I fuckin' hate the Eagles, man. Personally, he should've voted for Opeth.

    I'm enjoying the show no matter the little issues.  I thought the book was great, so it's cool to see it brought to life.

    And has anyone else made the connection with the actor who plays Claude Bolton?

    Same guy as our favorite molesting priest from Peaky Blinders, Father John Hughes.

    Hot Fuzz was mentioned but he's great in 24 Hour Party People too.

    So in the last episode el cuco was using the mask at the festival and at the end they only showed the back of the head feasting on the animal.  I am guessing there is something to it even though he the cell phone video shows his face after grandpa tackles him.  Maybe he can't hold the form for very long, or he's not using Claude's form but someone who looks similar?

    Was it just me or was his Claude face "blurry" in the pic. It was, however, enough of a look-alike to finally convince Ralph that this shit is real.

    i think it was still transforming into Claude and was weak and needed real* food (a child) so he used that festival w/ the mask to hide that he wasn't quite cooked yet. 

    *in the truck after eating the adult he told his helper he needed to feed (again)

    This is what I thought. He's almost there but something is off about his face, hence the mask. His MO is to be seen doing the crime therefore the "real" person he's shape-shifting into takes the fall while El Cuco starts morphing into the next person he's scratched.

    Who does Carolina have in goal?

    I dunno. But Ayres is being honored by the team.

  7. so then we all agree this show has gone stephen king stupid.  it was pretty decent as a crime show but has now jumped the shark.  


    This hasn’t been a “crime show” since about the third or fourth episode.
  8. I'm going to preface this by saying it takes a lot of balls to get up in front of a crowd of people and sing songs. But the Rhyner doing Post Malone. People think that was good? He sounds like he's singing with peanut butter in his mouth. Am I wrong, guys?


    Man, I love Rhynes. Always will. But he doesn’t even carry Petty tunes all that well. And I dig seeing Petty Theft.

    (CNN)For the second time in as many weeks, a professor at the University of Oklahoma has been accused of using the N-word.

    A history professor issued a "trigger warning" before reading a "historical document that used the 'N-word' repeatedly," the university's interim president, Joseph Harroz, Jr. wrote in an apology.
    "It is common sense to avoid uttering the most offensive word in the English language, especially in an environment where the speaker holds the power," Harroz said in a statement posted to the university's Twitter page.
    The professor has not been identified.
     
     
    "While she could have made the point without reciting the actual word, she chose otherwise," Harroz said, adding that this was another painful experience for the students in the class as well as their community.
    Harroz said the latest incident occurred before the university had a chance to roll out its action plan following the uproar almost two weeks ago, when another OU professor apologized after telling his students that saying "OK, boomer" to someone is the same as calling someone "n***er."
    All OU faculty, staff, and administration are now required to go through a diversity, equity, and inclusion training, and the university will release details about an incident response protocol they are developing "in the near future," Harroz wrote.

     

  10. Smoke Shack is pretty good but nowhere near 2M's level. Anything related to Two Brothers would be hard pass for me. Was not a fan when my parents picked up food from there a few years ago. Rudy's is a chain but it's damn solid IMO. The original location is out I-10, probably a little further than 20 minutes away but definitely doable. But I know you -- you're gonna wind up at Bill Miller's like you did when you were in Dallas and ignored everybody's advice and wound up at Dickey's in downtown. Right? 🤣

    Honestly, I'd ditch the BBQ and either take them to the Pearl or get some bad ass Tex-Mex. That's what the town is known for.

    Same here so I sit through it. Have not watched the latest show but last week I left the show thinking. Shit surrounding the ship is more than appropriate because that is what the show is like.

    I don't hate it. I don't love it by any means either but it's hard to believe this is coming from the same folks that gave us Veep. It's almost like Season 1 of True Detective = Veep and Season 2 of True Detective = Avenue 5.

  12. Vanessa Bryant sues helicopter company for deaths

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28773196/vanessa-bryant-sues-helicopter-company-deaths

    Quote

    LOS ANGELES -- The widow of Kobe Bryant has sued the owner of the helicopter that crashed in fog and killed her husband and their 13-year-old daughter last month.

    The wrongful death lawsuit filed by Vanessa Bryant in Los Angeles says the pilot, Ara Zobayan, was careless and negligent by flying in cloudy conditions on Jan. 26 and should have aborted the flight. Zobayan was among the nine people killed in the crash.

    The 27-count complaint against Island Express Helicopters and Island Express Holding Corp. seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. The company issued a statement Jan. 30 on its website saying the shock of the crash had prompted it to suspend service until it was appropriate for staff and customers.

    The lawsuit asserts that Zobayan was negligent in eight different ways, including failing to properly assess the weather, flying into conditions he wasn't cleared for and failing to control the helicopter.

    The National Transportation Safety Board, which is still investigating the crash, said in a preliminary report earlier this month that the helicopter showed no sign of engine failure and that Zobayan became disoriented before crashing into a hillside in Calabasas, California while trying to get to clear skies.

    The lawsuit was filed as a public memorial service for Kobe Bryant, daughter Gianna and the other victims was being held at the arena where Bryant played most of his career.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Random accessory, Wusthof drawer knife organizer. I know everyone has different preferences here, but I have a drawer with these at every house and smile every time I open the drawer. Such a clean, neat, convenient presentation and protects the blades:

    Narrow: https://www.amazon.com/Wusthof-Drawer-Storage-Tray-Slots/dp/B000066SYQ

    Wide: https://www.amazon.com/Wusthof-Wide-Drawer-Storage-Slots/dp/B0009NMVV4

     

    There are many others that make similar products, some plastic, some wood. I've tried a couple and keep coming back to the Wusthof above for usability and flexibility with knife shape/size/access.

    When I get around to buying some Shun steak knives, I'll need to get something like this.
