  1. Not sure I buy this story. Lots of memes, jokes, innuendo about sex slavery and insults, but few facts. Palm Beach County is incredibly corrupt. This story seems too much like an internet meme.
  2. Take off your shoes before logging into xhamster. It's not complicated.
  3. They weren't hiring musicians. They were hiring relatively clean cut non-threatening actors to play musicians. Stills looked like a doper. The Monkees would have been less successful with him than with the group they selected, cause he always looked like the guy who might pull a knife on you in a parking lot. The twelve and thirteen year olds they were targeting wanted bubble gum music, not protest songs. Read some interesting stuff on the Monkees. They were a big part of the Ventura Canyon scene, but the studio kept it under wraps to keep their image clean. During their brief run, they had a lot more success than the "serious" musicians, many of whom would hang out with them off camera. Manson was a hanger on all over the place, and played in several bands. No surprise he'd show up at an open audition. People may have dissed the Monkees, but Screen Gems wasn't out to make art, they were out to make money, and when Don Kirschner was handling them, they were outselling the Beatles. They harmonized pretty well, and quite a few of their songs still get air play.
  4. Streep's a decent actress, but people talk about her like she doesn't need to use Febreeze after she goes to the bathroom. She's a pretty good actress that's propped up and hyped by the media machine far more than her talent suggests she should be. After That 70s Show, he was a very hot item. When most of his projects bombed, his star faded. Anyway, when the thread talks about overrated, doesn't necessarily mean they're bad, just not as good as advertised. I'd put most actors/actresses in the overrated category, cause they're usually reading lines written by someone else, and special effects, makeup and editing makes them seem smarter, stronger and better looking than in real life. It can get pretty cringy to listen to an actor interviewing when they don't have a script. Yeah, I know most people on this board didn't like That 70s Show, but the first few seasons had some great lines.
  5. Meryl Streep George Clooney Ashton Kutcher Kristen Stewart
  6. So many good songs posted here. Could spend a solid month listening. Here are a few of mine, with thoughts: Wasn't a huge Loretta Lynn fan, but her songs were real, which is why a lot of modern country falls short, IMHO. They're singing about a life they didn't really live. First concert I remember going to was a Buck Owens concert with my dad There have been a lot of great versions of Orange Blossom Special, but my favorite has always been Don Rich's version. There's no improvisation, it's just the cleanest version I've ever heard. Time seems to pass so fast now. Seems crazy that Wagon Wheel was put out fifteen years ago.
  7. You're right. Advantage Cheeseweasel.
  8. It's not over yet. McCartney, Nesmith, Dolenz and Starr. New group, the Beakees.
  9. Yeah, you'd have to go to Walgreen's and see the chick demanding to speak to the manager to find someone that hot.
  10. Did you hear about the man with the five penises? His pants fit like a glove.
  11. Classic beauty.
  12. Any deal to get them to stay should require Mark Davis to get a different haircut.
  13. Big challenge in figuring out Texas for this year is the number of one score games from last year, against both good and bad teams. There were seven wins by a score or less and three losses by a score or less. So, if we figure all those games went down to the final possession, it's a possible record of anywhere from 13-1 to 4-10, depending on a couple of bounces in each game. Good sign is the Horns have gotten more physical, and physicality travels well. Herman may make some calls I wouldn't make, but I usually understand the logic. There are far fewer WTF moments than there were under Strong. Ehlinger is looking good, and there are only a few returning strong quarterbacks. Thinking Brewer and Purdy are solid. Anyone else? Four new coaches, but the Horns were 3-1 against the teams that replaced coaches. I THINK the Horns turned the corner. Weird note: Herman has been at UT for two years. There are now only three Big 12 coaches that have been in the league longer than him; Patterson, Campbell and Gundy.
  14. Yes. It should be on the list not only for the songs but for the goofing on the songs. "Lawrence...Lawrence of Arabia....he's an English guy..."
  15. Random neural firings: Crazy how one game changes perception. Prior to the Clemson game, a LOT of people were saying this Alabama team was the best ever, maybe in the history of college football. Now, a lot of people are questioning Saban's methodology and speculating on his retirement. It's a little too early to declare the Tide as a dead, over the hill program. Anyone who has a successful career going at a P5 that has a legit shot to make the playoffs with an undefeated season would be insane to take the Bama job after Saban leaves. Saban had to win multiple titles before people quit wanting to dig up Bear Bryant's corpse and prop him up on the sidelines. They'll do the same thing with whoever replaces Saban. Saban's big strength is that since he's gotten the program rolling, he has the ability to keep four and five star athlete egos in check, at least on the field. If a coach is used to dealing with three star athletes, the four and five stars are a whole different animal. Think Ed Oliver and Major Applewhite. A three star thinks he's lucky to be with a program. A five star thinks the program is lucky to have him.
  16. This. The first time is like going down a water slide. The second time is jumping off the high board. Or maybe like a video game where you saved at a certain spot and picked up there.
  17. Yeah, but it was a good novel. Would read again. Two things that struck me while reading it are that first, I was embarrassed to think people knew I was stopping drinking, but wasn't embarrassed when staggering around doing stupid things cause I was drunk. The second thing is that I spent a lot of time thinking other people were paying that much attention to my life. It's a weird thing that's hard to explain, but my ego had me thinking other people were tuning in for the next episode of "what's RK doing today?" when most people don't pay attention at all if I'm not doing something that directly affects their lives.
  18. How about this? Pam wakes up and hears someone in the shower. She walks in and sees a hazy figure reach out of the shower and grab a towel. It's Luke. She starts crying and says, "But you were dead." He tells her it was a dream. None of it happened. There's no Rey, no Porgs and no Ewoks. And Kylo didn't kill Han, he stabbed Rian Johnson.
  19. CM=Captain Marvel IM1=Iron Man 1 GOTG1=Guardians of the Galaxy 1 T1, T2, TIH=Thor 1, Thor 2, and (probably) Thor-Hulk YMMV, SIAP, ROFLOLPMFITA, and all that.
  20. Kaepernick's starting record last four years: 2013 12-4 2014 8-8 2015 2-6 2016 1-10 He had early success because he was a good running QB, and was okay at hitting the first read. Harbaugh took advantage of that. When Harbaugh left, his success went down every year, as teams figured him out: cover the first read and contain him on the scramble. Nothing in the press happens organically. ESPN decided to push the protests, and started doing a weekly "who's kneeling for the anthem" segment. The protests blew up in their face, and NFL ratings dropped. Some of the drop was from over saturation and that third tier crappy games were getting televised nationwide, but there was a legitimate fan backlash against the protests. Kaepernick's numbers had gone down every year, and no one wanted to sign him as a starter. The problem with having a guy who doesn't fit the mold as a backup is you want your backup to come in and execute a game plan. You don't fit your offense to what a backup QB can do. Vince Young and Tim Tebow both had the same problem trying to catch on with another team after getting released by their first teams, even though Tebow had a winning record his only year as a starter, and Young's record was .500 in his last year that he started eight games. Kaepernick had the additional problem that he was famous as a celebrity, not because of what he'd done on the field. Without the anthem protests, he's about as relevant as Shaun King, who quarterbacked Tampa Bay to an NFC championship game and lost. Was Kaepernick shut out over collusion? I dunno. I do know that if I was running a franchise and needed a backup quarterback, I wouldn't look at him, because he would immediately become a distraction from winning games.
  21. Looks like better attendance than a lot of bowl games. Watching on skycam. Would be cool if it had crowd noise and stadium announcer, but I prefer silence to the on air broadcasters. I bet that skycam operator played a lot of Xbox growing up. Dude has skills.
