  1. I made the mistake of taking an old Japanese bus from the 1980's from Yangon to Mandalay in 2006. No A/C, dirt roads, no bathrooms, just locals. Took about 16 hours overnight. Brutal. At one point, we pulled over in the middle of nowhere for a piss break. Couldn't see anything. Pitch dark. So I walk about 15 yards from the bus to take a leak. As I'm mid-stream, someone shined a light and I discovered I was surrounded by women all squatting mid-piss. The men were on the other side of the bus. I apparently stepped into the women's piss area. Who knew there was a system. I do remember a few locals there with blue, knock-off OU hats. Doubtful any Burmese actually followed OU football but who knows.
  2. Yeah, I've got the lowdown that that's not the official trailer.
  3. Back in January, I was shopping at the Love Me Two Times antique store in Tulsa not paying any attention at all to the guy standing next to me in the heavy coat and ballcap. Suddenly, a young lady approached from behind saying "Oh my God, can I have a picture with you??" Turned around to realize the guy to my left was Ethan Hawke. She asked him what he was doing in Tulsa and he said they were 'shooting a TV show'. So, I've been impatiently awaiting the release of this since. Donald Washberg for Governor!!!
  4. I always liked Chuck. He had such a great band. Guitarist Grant Geissman can flat out play. I think he was in his early twenties when he came up with that iconic solo on FSG. He pops in occasionally to Norman's Rare Guitars on youtube. I went to a music fest in Japan in the early 2000's and was waiting to see Wilco when the band Crazytown came on stage. I was not a fan of that band but was really surprised to see drummer James Bradley Jr playing with them. He was playing with Mangione when I saw them on January 20, 1980 at the Lloyd Noble in Norman (the same night as the Steelers/Rams Super Bowl). Talk about a varied career.
  5. Better clip. Might be the greatest celebration of Canadian culture ever recorded. Those two boys were trollied by the 15th hole.
  6. I've never played golf before but do Arnie Palmer shirts come with tiedowns? Solid garment there.
  7. Good to hear. We're getting a game 7, fellas. Should be fun. You guys have a great weekend.
  8. The amount of bitching in this thread. Jesus, do you guys even like watching basketball? Jeez.... Watch the games. Have a beer. Enjoy life.
  9. You have to admit, she's pretty sharp. I don't follow women's basketball as much as the other sports, but just about every message board I frequent has one thread specifically dedicated to her filled with white men that can't help but share an opinion of her. She certainly appears to be living rent free.
  10. Saw it today but I can't give it a positive review. Felt the same way about his recent films. I think Anderson might be losing me. I consider Life Aquatic one of my top ten favorites and have enjoyed The Darjeeling Limited on repeated viewings, but the last few have lost me. Anderson reminds me of an aging rock act that had several fantastic albums early in his career. But his albums in the past ten years or so were quickly deleted from my playlist after one spin.
  11. Yes. I do it sometimes just for the catering.
  12. Your dream might come true. They could pull off a Dallas Stars level choke job
  13. People in the middle US are insane. I had a British boss overseas that asked how long it would take to drive from my hometown (OKC) to a co-workers (Houston). I said it would only take about 7 hours. He said....'Bloody hell....that's London to Edinburgh....one end of the UK to the other." CSB
  14. Without a doubt Presti regrets that Harden deal but he's been fun to watch in the meantime. Sending an aging Serge Ibaka to Orlando for Oladipo and Sabonis? Then sending them to Indiana for Paul George? Then flipping him to LA for SGA, Gallinari and 5 first-rounders? You reckon Michael Winger regrets that trade? It's wild how much the Thunder catch so much hate when they're literally the blueprint for building a winning culture from the ground up. No super team (Presti tried that and failed with Russ, PG13 and Carmelo), no drama, just straight-up hard work, player development and unselfish basketball. The best defense in the NBA. 80 wins so far this year. Not bad.
  15. I still get a kick out of all of the Aussies online that rip OKC for trading Josh Giddy for Caruso. The spark this guy brings to that OKC team is amazing.
  16. Holmgren drives me bonkers. There are times out there he looks like he's trying to learn how to ice skate.
  17. Don't you know, man!! All these fouls are part of the plan to put the smallest market cities in the finals. It'll be a ratings bonanza!!!!!!!!
  18. Let me know if there's a last-minute cancellation. Seriously though, you'll have a blast. Playoff hockey is the best hockey.
  19. Hands like pillows, that kid. He's putting in a Conn Smythe season for the ages.
  20. Impressive OT by Hartenstein.
  21. If you have an evisa, do they stamp your passport?
  22. Holmgren drives me absolutely batty.
  23. Fingers crossed the Finals this year isn't a Vegas vs Carolina or Florida.
  24. Is Artie completely done with stand-up? I'd go and see him but he hasn't toured in several years. Is his career over?
  25. I believe it was the great Denny Lemieux that once said...."My allergy to those f**king fans, you know, has returned."
