Mach 1

14 is tough one. Never heard of Hutson. Otto Graham is a legend, but before my time. So I'll go with Fouts. 1) Dude threw darts into the hands of his receivers, all day, every day. 2) He co-announced the 2006 Rose Bowl, and did so well.

Austin band. Fun, catchy tune.

All the Biden hate here is depressing. He's the only shot at keeping Dotard from another 4 years of running our country into a ditch, and some Democrats are intent on eating their young (old) to make a point, that will mean nothing in the long term. Who else you got? Warren? Harris? Sanders? Yeah, that's never fucking going to happen. The R machine with Russian and corporate help will ground them into salt. I'll take Biden in a wheelchair with saliva dripping from his lips if it means we can move on as a nation, get that fucking sociopath out of office, then figure out the next steps. We'll need a full four years, if not more, to right the ship. Then maybe the Warren's or Harris's or Beto's of the world can step in and start enacting the legislation needed. Or fucking hell, maybe a decent R candidate will step in (doubles over laughing). Biden is the only D shot of getting that fuckstain out of office. Thinking otherwise is pissing up a rope.

Turn it up

Walk across the street to the Water Grill, have a beer and some oysters. Same view, no homeless.

This is a fantastic series, just as good as the Carnegie/Rockefeller one that preceded. Couple of things that stood out - I guess I should spoiler

I haven't watched one of these videos without the room getting dusty. The shock and joy of the guys getting the scholarship, and the joy/support of his teammates, hits me in the feels.

Fuck off.

I've scoffed at this thread, since I haven't sharted since binge drinking in college and eating Taco Bell. But fuck me if it didn't happen last week. Standing outside our hotel in Cabo waiting for our ride to take us ATV riding. My kids are there with some of their friends, just joking around, having fun, feeling comfortable, when I think, you know, I should probably let this pent up pressure go before getting into the van ... bad idea. I'm in shorts and grab the edges before anything oozes out in front of a bunch of teenagers that would mock me until I died. I duck walked back into the lobby past people checking in looking at me like I was retarded, found the bathrooms and - thank god - they had a unisex type solo bathroom. Whipped off the shorts, washed them off in the sink, and did a full on baby ass wiping with approximately a shitload of towels. So now my gray shorts are clean but obviously soaking wet, but fuck it, I walk out head held high, as if I always wear wet shorts. Go back outside, van is there, and I get in the front seat and roll down the window. My kids and their friends never suspected a thing. I shall never scoff again.

*Fracas* Word always cracked me up.

This is where I'm at. I love Tarentino but I couldn't figure out where he was going with this one. The Playboy Mansion party was just ... bad. Looked like an American Bandstand episode. Maybe that was what he was after, but it set the tone for disappointment for me rest of the way. Unusual movie for him, not what I expected.

I experienced that in 2011. It felt empty, especially after the Rose Bowl games I attended prior. I'm spitballing but I think it's an unfair metric for UCLA, as the Rose Bowl wasn't built specifically for them. It was built during a time when people from the midwest and east coast would come out to Pasadena during the winter, thus the match ups with Pac 12 teams and teams east. Regardless it's the best stadium to watch a football game bar none, so the 106 ranking is meaningless.

Yep. Just did mine for an E36 M3 after 80k. Also steering hoses and suspension. Put it up prelim on BAT a month ago and backed out. Best car I've ever owned, I can't part with it. Plus, need to teach my kids how to drive stick.

There's a park near my house where I like to run. Looks like that's where they are filming the new season. Spooky gas station, Roy's Gas and Grub. Notice security guard in 2nd photo - no video or photo allowed. Yeah, fuck that, it's a public park. Mess Hall. They were setting up for filming this afternoon, I suspect everything is done at night since the park is still open to the public. Outdoor showers. Yeah, someone's getting killed there. Biggest building is the Infirmary, go figure And you can't have an 80's slasher film without the boat dock. I've seen some 80's cars driving around, VW Rabbit, Toyota Supra, Chrysler K - going all out on 80's nostalgia.

L O fucking L, I forgot I ordered a symbol from Riley (no, I never rapped). Bought it for a friend that was a superfan for her birthday. I did it online and thought it would just arrive in the mail, but that dude called my cell and left a message, something like "Mach 1, my good man, thank you for your wise purchase. But listen here, I need more detailed information on your friend to make sure the symbol is designed correctly. Call me back at xxx-xxx-xxxx." JFC. I was nervous, I mean this dude has given me hours of entertainment and now I'm supposed to just give him a call? Fuck it, I call him and he picks right up. "Mach 1, hey man, I need to know her roots, like where her family is from, her LINEAGE. See these symbols have to match the person, or the Mothership will not, AND I REPEAT, will not allow them on. The Biavian's don't play." Me: She's from Ukrainian Jewish decent. Riley: A Jewish Goddess. Mach 1, I now have all the information I need brother. I thank you, you have done a magnificent thing for your friend. Now, what about your symbol? Me: I'm good for right now, but thanks Riley. Sure enough it showed up within a week, and she put it in a frame, still up in her office. When he died I went back to his website to order a piss bucket for her but they were sold out. RIP Riley. (He was #3, behind ETA and Hank)

Great thread. I thought I'd been to some sketchy places, but apparently not, bravo for surviving, gentlemen. Lest you think SoCal is only fake tits and blonde hair I add: Carlito's Way in Van Nuys Notice the tenant mix. I have relatives within walking distance, and we planned on going in for a pop a couple months ago until someone was murdered in the parking lot (not the first). And SB Bruin will surely know - Jumbo's Clown Room Not too bad, just a hole in the wall strip club in east Hollywood with fat chicks in bikinis - no nudity with alcohol in LA, bizarre. And last, the wife and kids were out of town awhile back, so I went to a recommended strip club called Sam's Hofbrau in DT LA. Nope. The only thing I know about cartels or gangs is from Breaking Bad, and goddamn if I didn't think I was in ABQ with Tuco looking at me from a corner table. Inhaled my drink, paid a double tip, and GTFO.

I'm reading this now. "John Burt has bounced more balls off his hand than a flirty urologist" Worth the price of admission.

This needs to move off the Opinion page and on to the front page of every major newspaper. I get discouraged with how the media seemingly ignores shit like this. But then an intense expose drops after months of investigation (Trump finances, Epstein) and I feel a little better about the whole Amendment 1 part of our democracy. Fingers crossed that is happening right now. I know it doesn't fucking matter, the GOP supporters are way out of the fucking barn, but I'd just like to see someone print a detailed account of McConnell's (and his wife) corrupt and utterly traitorous actions dragged into the cold, hard light of day.

The Terror moves from the Arctic to a Japanese internment camp August 12th.

Great pic. IIRC there is a catwalk right above this to get the announcers in and out of the booth. I saw Harry Carey stumble around up there trying to (I assume) get out and take a piss. This also reminds me of a bachelor party I attended at one of those rooftop bleachers off left field, now being blocked by the Wintrust billboard. Doesn't seem like a fit here, so I'lll add it to the strip club thread.

Yeah that's kind of where I'm at. We leave the back door open for the dog in the summer, so I used to get pissed and actively hunt them down inside the house. Now I just leave an empty soda can by the sink window and pick them off whenever I feel like it. Which is often.
