  1. I never was a big Whitesnake fan when they were all the rage, heavy rotation on MTV and shit with Tawny Kitaen videos every twelve minutes. Too much silly commercial glam pop show-off metal for my taste. Though I saw that version live once with Steve Vai on guitar and it was at least fun. David's lyrics were always cringey. But a decade or so back I went on one of my deep dives looking through their earlier stuff and a lot of it is quite tasty. That was before he started stealing the band members music, re-doing the songs, and replacing those guys with more screen-ready long hair guitar gymnastic types. They once had Mel Galley from Trapeze in the band, one of my all timer favorites. But the earlier versions had some good stuff in it.
  2. Deep Purple Mark III and IV. Greatness, even though Glenn Hughes was the best singer.
  3. I don't care about his politics, and I'm not even sure what they are about. He has his little Stool Sample TV show with his little entourage that does all the talking. I've caught parts of it a few times while scanning the channels when nothing else is on. It sucks ass. Sometimes he's there remotely on a little screen just looking at the camera and saying pretty much nothing. He has nothing to offer. I don't know how he got this far. Probably because sports fans tend to be morons, and anything they call sports related is easy ratings.
  4. I guess I should be rooting for the commoders. Hopefully they finish better than the Cowboys and help out with improving the draft pick. Tough times to be a Cowboys fan. Still, three consecutive Sundays with no game is not fun. Looking forward to see several new guys on D. Certainly can't hurt none.
  5. Band of Brothers Flight Of the Conchords Tenacious D shorts
  6. DirecTV version...
  7. I got an email from DirecTV that says ESPN Unlimited is now included in my subscription. Not sure what unlimited is. I get all the ESPN channels I know of other than PLUS, and I don't do streaming stuff. They probably jacked up the price, though, I haven't looked yet. I keep trying to remove add-ons and the webstite won't let me without calling, even though I didn't even ask for two of the add-ons, they were involutarily placed on my account because they changed up some packages and started charging me more. I'm leaning toward dumping the whole thing after football season, then trying to figure out a reasonable way to watch Rangers games on the TV.
  8. I like having Jank on the staff. In case of emergency, break glass and toss him in the microwave for a few seconds and he could probably get a clutch hit or great defensive play once in a while. And having ANY new third base coach is probably addition by subtraction.
  9. I rarely record anything, but there is also a very cheap plastic box by Mediasonic Homeworx with a built in tuner and recorder, you can program it, and I think you can even replay while it is recording, but I don't do that. It's like $40. Gotta be careful not to drop it and break it, but it sure AF works great if you're a cheapass like me.
  10. Antennas can be really funny. That one I put up recently also had a hard time picking up the ABC channel. I was pointing it and communicating with the viewer inside looking at the TV, couldn't get it dialed in. One would think that pointing it in the direction of the station would be the trick, and away from any major obstacles. But then while I was holding it up, I just laid it on the ground to take a piss, and they said "that's perfect!" So I just left it there and forgot bout it while we watched the game. It laid there for a couple of weeks until I went back again later to put it up on the short pole it had been on, it was shitty again. I ended up pointing it right at the wall of the house which would be well east of the target and it came in perfectly.
  11. Ugly people can't catch a break. The more famous and better looking actors even get most of the best the animated roles.
  12. They've been doing that for ages, ain't nothin' new. Hot actresses do that to try to prove they can act, when most of the acting is the makeup, but they get rave reviews and rewards for sacrificing their beauty. See Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron, for example. Hollywood has always been bullshit.
  13. I still have my old 8-foot c-band dish outside. I'm almost ready to investigate what I can get on that thing after all these years. Probably zipola, but I hate the whole streaming multiple parties model, and my internet here is shit.
  14. Used to be able to get a signal amplifier for about $30 that helped with weaker signals. But they are getting hard to find at a reasonable price and find one that actually works. You can try hooking up a second antenna aimed the other way and Y them together. The little plastic cover ones you can sometimes find in stores tend to be total crapola.
