  1. Shrimp cakes are pretty legit. Surprisingly good. It's not like their crab cakes that are mostly bread filler, it's really jammed with shrimp, and good shrimp that was not fishy tasting at all. Just enough stuffing mixture to make it stick together.

    The stuffed jalapenos were made by me, from scratch.

  2. It's not like there's no real transition from junior high football to four years of college basketball to a serious neck injury to being a starting NFL tight end.

    Rico is what he always was, a raw tool to try to mold into a TE, but with no promises or guarantees. If he's not ready, he's not ready.

    Swaim so far. 

    Update:

     

    Cowboys reporter Marcus Mosher reports second-year UDFA Blake Jarwin worked as Dallas' No. 1 tight end during OTAs and minicamp.

    According to Mosher, Rico Gathers "barely gets any snaps in practice." Gathers hasn't played a single snap since being drafted in 2016 but flashed big-time potential last preseason only for the Cowboys to ask him to bulk up and improve his blocking this year. It sounds like Jarwin is the preferred pass-catching option, with Gathers competing for snaps as an in-line blocker. Jarwin showed some Jacob Tamme-esque traits as a walk-on at Oklahoma State.

     

     

    Also this on the WR situation via Rotoworld:

    As expected. Hurns inked a two-year, $12 million pact after his release from Jacksonville, and the Cowboys then released Dez Bryant while failing to re-sign Brice Butler. It leaves Hurns as the default top wideout, followed by Cole Beasley, Terrance Williams, and rookie Michael Gallup in whichever order. In an offense that figures to lean on Ezekiel Elliott as much as Elliott's body will allow, maybe only one of these receivers will provide steady fantasy value.

    I've heard some good reviews for Gallup. Looking forward to seeing him suit up.

     

     

  4. I kinda regretted not buying it. It was cool, felt great, and it was like $400 or something. I just didn't want anyone to ever see me playing it. Anyway, went back a couple of weeks later having it in the bach of my mind and it was gone.

    Maeve is super annoying as a character and actress to look at-- I might be out on season 3 just because she sucks (well, and if the finale sucks and I feel like this season was a waste of time)

    I really liked her character this season until she realized she was in The Matrix and became The One. Then it just got stupid, until they Darth Mauled her.

    Is that anything like a Parker Fly?

    I nearly bought one of those a year or two ago used. It was the familiar shape but with a Tele setup, cheaper  import model. It felt really nice, but I couldn't get over playing a tele style guitar that looked like a Parker Fly.

  7. OK, I see. The Modern Player series is the Chinese stuff. I see now some Classic Player is higher end and made in Mexico. This is a new designation, so I wonder if they're blurring the distinction even more, or if this is a different price range and how it relates to the Standard series.

  8. I believe the Player series is made in China. Some people already like the build quality than MIM, though the materials are generally a bit better on Mexico models.

    I really don't like the look of the Pau Ferro. Never played on it, but the lighter color really doesn't jibe well with the look of most guitars. Maybe if they stained it darker it would be fine.

    Might be a moot point now. It appears during the Great Rainstorm of Midland Texas June 16th, 2018 our roof leaked on it and some other stuff. So I may just buy a new 1x12 cabinet now.

    That sucks. And I can't even buy a decent rain here. It keeps missing us, pasture severely needs it.

  10. I think the overall theme of this show is that the more human machines become the more machines humans become. And one way or another, the human side always fucks their shit up just when they think they're getting it figured out.

    I dug up an old Tube Works 1x12 cabinet in my garage, and I've been plugging my little Laney Cub 10 into it at the office. But it needed a grill of some sort-

    Quick fix

    The material came from a cheap throw pillow from teh Walmarts, and it barely fit. I'll do something better at a later time.

    Now we're going to need a Guitar Player Needlepoint Pron thread.
