    I watch Hershel, and I think "Man, that's sad. His family needs to get him some help, because he's not going to be getting any better". 

    He might be a US Senator in 48 hours. 

    i think him being braid dead actually makes it more palatable to GQP voters.  Just assume that no original thought will ever flicker through his mind and his handler will be briefed on every vote he needs to make to satisfy the the GQP leaders.  If you can't fix it, feature it.  then just use the Marge Green soundbite generator 1x per week to appease the base and he's golden.  The GQP probably will just keep his cut of the graft and assure him that he's been paid and that they added it to his FBI pension.

    How far are we removed from just no candidates actually running but just voting for letters each race?  already there?

    After all these years of being a mediocre at best golfer (15 handicap right now) I finally got fitted for clubs with the hopes of getting that handicap down to single digits.   Hopefully the way I hit in the fitting translates to the course but the woods and irons I ended up getting were a huge improvement over my current sticks based on the computer stats.  Looking forward to practicing with the new ones and getting better at this game.

    CSB-was also cool that Sheffler was working out there while I was doing my irons fitting.  The guy fitting me was working on Scotty's new irons that morning as he said he was switching from blades to some other Taylor Made iron I guess.  

    have you played with the new irons?  i am curious about getting some new sticks.  I literally have the same Ping Eye 2 BeCu set (2-SW) that i did when i was like 10yo in the mid 80s that have been re-shafted a few times.  I am pushing 50 now lol, but have never seen the need to get any new clubs.  Will probably just get some new fairway woods and call it a day, but was talking with a buddy as we played the other day and he was going in for a fitting after seeing another buddy improve after doing the same. 

    Has golf tech *really* improved that much?  am i missing out?

  3. saw it yesterday with the fam.  most opinions were 'it was ok, not as good as Marvel' .  The extent of my Black Adam/Shazam knowledge is from the '80s cartoon

    so really did not know much going in.  I like the Marvel movies because of all the inside connections and we know the chars from all the movies over the years.  you obviously don't get that with DC (at least from themovies). 

    anyway, not great, not bad.  very typical action flick.

  4. i had what they call a 'sports hernia' where there is not a full on tear of the stomach muscle wall with a breach of the intestines.  it was more like the tendons that connect the stomach muscles to pelvis (maybe? not a doctor) get torn.  The surgery is the same.  they put a mesh thing that strengthens the area it dissolves over time.

    think i got an MRI and one other scan (CAT scan maybe).  this was like 15 years ago, so maybe now they do something different.   who knows if the surgery actually did anything or the recovery/inaction from the surgery allow the area to heal.  bottom line i was ok afterwards.

    Who charges $10 for a haircut anymore?

    Last one I can remember is the barber on S Congress, and he sold his shop in 2008.

    His closure also led to me shaving my head (ain’t paying more than $10, hell I should get a discount since I don’t have much to cut).

    place on the drag (not Wootens) was $7 (circa 1992).  Lady let me keep that price for 3 years.  I want to say it was called Affinity or some shit.

     

  6. i saw that some psycho was handing out bags of SunChips.  saw the bag in a kid's pumpkin as they getting candy at our house.  wtf is wrong with people?

    there was also some crazy lady on nextdoor trying to shame people using fake cotton webbing in their yards by claiming that by doing so a multitude of birds were surely going to die from being trapped in the strands.  

  7. yeah, most everyone does not do that and just embraces the fact that we'll get 100s trick or treaters for Halloween.  it can get crazy if it falls on a weekend, but Monday was not too bad even though we ran out of candy around 8:30pm

    almost no wind, so the smoke machine was awesome last night

  8. am i crazy or are the elementary kids trying to trick or treat earlier now?  we generally shut down our block as we get a large influx of traveling trick or treaters (cars tying to drive down the street with tons of kiddos is no bueno) but they blocked it off at 4pm and the bulk of the kids on the block came around at 4:30pm.  At least let the sun think about setting ffs.

    Goff. Not because he’s good but because he’s proven he can win you a week. Most of his weapons should be a go as well

    opponent shoved a horseshoe up his butt and picked up Mariota as a bye week starter against me.  ~28pts which was double the yahoo estimate lol.  Still should get the W as long as his TE and D don't combine for 45 tonight.

    Ok like before but with Boyd and his added role with Chase out definitely tempting.  It is PPR league.  To take the trade and get Boyd, Swift and Barkley or not?  I could also swap Diggs for Kupp losing either definitely sucks but big upside if they stay healthy on the three I get   

     

    i don't think i could bring myself to trade Diggs.  i could see teams eventually finding a way to limit Kupp as Stafford just refuses to throw to anyone else.  if you are looking for an opinion, i would take the trade with Kupp/Kittle for those three listed above.  but you have to know that Boyd will likely turn into a pumpkin before the end of the season.

    AND OH, LOOK, MY NJOKU REPLACEMENT CADE OTTON ALSO HAS 0 FOR 0! COOL BEANS!

    51bd9b1f-efbd-41bf-9ab6-2061b69180a0_tex

     

    Playing a guy that has Mahomes on a bye and has yet to pick up a replacement.  i'm thinking about picking up a QB just to fuck with him, but there are a lot of equally crappy options.  Worth it to take away any of these QBs just so he can't play them? 

    Russ vs Jax

    Jimmy G vs LAR

    Trevor vs Den

    Goff vs MIA

     

  12. need more blow outs and less 2 pt games.  I think Kidd is obviously still tinkering with the last 7 minutes of the game line up.

    we get 2 of those defensive rebounds vs the Nets and it's a 10 pt win.  love the D down the stretch but just have to finish with the rebound.  Luka made a great D play to come of his man to heavily contest when i think it was Kyrie spinning into the lane, but that obviously leaves his guy free to go after the board.

    - the OT was a thing of beauty.  Luka hitting shots then setting up his teammates to knock down wide open 3s. 

    And as others have said, i don't need Luka throwing 2-hand chest passes through a tire in his backyard for hours on end, but seeing some lazy-ass 1-handed passes to start the season.

     

  13. i listen during ticket commercials for the most part.  if it grabs my attention i might stick with the segment.

    they took listener ?s and one asked when Greggo would make an appearance. Rhyner said 'Never'.  but then after some back and forth with Sorois said maybe.

    QB play has been fucking atrocious and I’m still 5-1, on the verge of a loss this week tho. Need Rhamondre Stevenson to have 20 point week to get the win

    Same.  Dude got me 19.5 for the tie.  We don't do fractional points and he had 39 yards rushing and 49 yards passing.  a better spot netting 1 more freaking yard would have won the game.  Or if CHI would have punched it in the end zone as opponent had PATS D.  I think that would have taken away a point.

  15. they just  need to have the rule be to mark the ball 10 yards back from the start of the slide (if past the LOS).  yes, you can avoid getting hit but there is no gain to be made other than not getting hit.

  16. you think there is something wrong with them trying to build a false case (without law enforcement) and failing for a grand jury to indict 5 times but then 6th time is the charm?

    Read this over the weekend, but the big takeaway was the line about the public (in the form of the jury) finding out that someone donating to a judge's re-election fund on Saturday and then showing up on their docket on  Monday and that was totally cool and perfectly legal (even though that was not what happened at all with this case).

    Wife and a friend have tickets to see a show last night. They’ve been looking forward to it for weeks. They have to leave by 6:15 to make it on time. At 6:30, they’re still drinking wine in the kitchen. They say there’s an opening act so they’re not worried about being a little late. Once they arrive at the venue, there’s a huge line so they decide to go somewhere nearby to get a drink. When they come back, there’s still a long line. Apparently there is more than one event going on at this place. Once they get to the door, they can’t figure out how to access their tickets on Ticketmaster or whatever. They step out of line and spend the next 20 or so minutes trying to figure it out. They eventually get inside, wait for a drink, then head to their seats. As they’re sitting down, the performer says something like “Ok, here’s one last story for the evening…”

    In the end, they spent a few hundred bucks on tickets, drinks, Ubers, etc, to see 5 minutes of a show. 

    yeah, but they probably got to 'check in' their location on FB,; so worth it
