    Whatcha reading?

    Recently finished this after listening to Dan Carlin's Supernova in the East podcast. The details of his war are intense and heartbreaking. Just fucking horrible stuff. His final paragraph was kind of a shock: "Until the millenium arrives and countries cease trying to enslave others, it will be necessary to accept one's responsibility and to be willing to make sacrifices for one's country - as my comrades did." He looked forward and thought the future held a better world, that insane actions by evil madmen and war-like countries would end. Wrong; I suppose it's the only way to sanely carry on with his life after what he experienced.
  2. Damn dude, that is one helluva personal challenge. Good for you, jealous. Can you go into some more details on your first stage plan, miles per day, sleeping spots. Every time I drive through Palm Springs I scan the hillside north of I-10 searching for the trail line. Fascinates me.
  3. Motherfucker. Vaccinated, boosted, three years of negative results and BAM, get run over by a bus. Covid put me in bed four days with the worst flu symptoms I can recall. I was a little cocky, thought I was impervious. Yeah, no. If they recommend getting a yearly dose here forward I’ll be first in line. Fuck this.
  4. Like most I'm enjoying the show. My kids played the game and they think it's really well done. A little preface: my wife went a little crazy over Rona buying a bunch of health foods/supplements, Super Green this, Matcha that. I was hungry this morning so I dug around the cupboard and found a bunch of health food type breakfast bars. Pulled out an "Energy" bar and was ready to chow when I read the ingredients: Yeah, I think I'll pass.
  5. I think you’re good. Probably just see her ass and maybe side tit, which is probably still respectable.
  6. I’ve found myself smiling through at least 50% of this show. Involuntarily, just reaction. Can’t recall any other show I’ve reacted that way. I’m also intrigued by the bespoke liquor cabinet in the back of his rig. Might be a future birthday request.
  7. Awesome, love this show. Hopefully Kaleb continues calling him an idiot.
  8. Hey Luna, how you doin' More out there via your Google machine
  9. You should tweet him back. Tell him the information he’s providing is not detailed enough for your liking.
  10. I watched this on a long flight and thought it was very, very ambitious. Kind of shocked someone greenlit the financing of it. Must have cost a fortune. If I weren’t stuck in a seat for 10 hours I can see how someone can bail halfway through. It’s … odd. But I’m glad I did get to the end. It’s powerful in a completely unique way. The halfway setup was easily worth the last half pay off. Fucking hell getting teary about rocks? Yeah that happened.
  11. Same. I liked it but didn’t catch the connection, so thought the end didn’t stick the landing. Cutting off of all fingers seemed ridiculous. In retrospect based on @RomaVicta take the ending makes absolute sense. “It’s only over if you would have died” or something like that. I’ll have to watch again.
  12. No you weren’t. Get over it. Your auto sports info is awesome, and I appreciate it, but don’t bring your CR insecurities to a thread about an under achieving WR.
  13. To Kill a Mockingbird when Scout says "Hey Boo" when she sees him hiding in the corner. I was watching some shitty Texas game last year and turned it off in disgust, flipped to this movie. My teenage son comes downstairs right at this scene and, without noticing I've changed the channel, says "Oh My God, are you crying about Texas!" Told him to shut the fuck up and leave me alone.
  14. Interested to see if Maalik has a set of plays built into the game plan. QE obviously needs the reps but I’d like to see something from this dude.
  15. FARMLAND As a city boy that was an educating watch. Respect to all those that produce our food. @Parliament and to any other workers of the field, you have good people.
  16. Logged in and a Letterman interview with Zelensky popped up. Zelensky, when this is over, will go down as very important figure in history. Also I like Dave even more than I did before.
  17. Anyone check out Katla? Googled and it came out as a top 10 recommendation. Dead people come back to life via a volcano, but they’re all different. Reminded me of Dark with a splash of Stephen King. Icelandic production. Started slow but picked up with later episodes. I thought it was really good. Disturbing in parts, some horror, but surprisingly existential with one story line. Ending seems like season 2 will go off the rails.
  18. As RMac says CJ is good but I’ve found National Parts Depot a little deeper in supply and options. But depending on the part Google it and you may find it on the more regional Mustang sites, Kentucky, Ohio come to mind.
  19. I watched Troll. It was dumb. Stupid. In other words a perfect CGI movie to sandwich between football games as a palate cleanser.
  20. Hey man, we tolerate other fans coming in and firing off. It’s one of the best things about the site. But you need to be knowledgeable or funny or … just not what you’re doing. We have time: work on it.
  21. Oh man, it's the Pinto and not even close. We took long road trips (also known as 'vacations') when I was a kid. The back seat had two comfortable seats and a fucking hump between. Two older brothers got the seats, I got the hump. Whenever we went over a bump it launched my head into the roof. Good times.
