  1. That's from when he played Hercule Poirot on SCTV. One of his funniest.
  2. John Candy always ordered the big pork chop, and you are no John Candy, sir.
  3. What the fuck is this shit!!?? Just show the fuckers playing golf!
  4. I never thought I would end up disliking Francis Ouimet, but I think I do now. His elfin caddy too.
  5. His mother was a hamster, and his father smelt of elderberries.
  6. And that's cool. The coverage (and tee times) started later than the last two days. Or so it seems.
  7. With all due respect, you have your LIV thread to discuss this topic. We're talking about the US Open up in here.
  8. I wish that chatty Brit woman would stfu and gtfo.
  9. My wife was shopping at Publix across the street from the shooting when it went down. Out of all of the LEO agencies..including the FBI that immediately descended on the scene, you would have thought that one of those "heroes" could have strolled across the street to warn the shoppers that there was a crazed gunman on the loose. Fuck those idiots. I'm not sure what your point is with the 63% is though, or if it is even correct.
  10. Agree on Rory's clothes, but I'll take Notah over Nantz, Azinger or Faldo any day.
  11. Congrats! Good job on having Mathew Brady there to take the pics.
  12. And some of those Pacific battles weren't even necessary. Peleliu for instance could have been bypassed. The Tarawa landing was a total cluster.
  13. For sure. My family ( I was born and raised in Mobile, Al) was close with Eugene Sledge author of With The Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa. His pal, Sidney Phillips lived across the street from me growing up. Dr. Phillips would speak a bit about his experience on Guadalcanal. Sledge kept it all in until he wrote one of the definitive books about the war in the Pacific. Anyway /csb.
  14. And don't forget the Japs. A cruel and worthy adversary. I would take the European theater over the PTO any day. If I had been captured by the enemy(which was likely considering my slow ass) I would rather take my chances with the Hun, Malmedy notwithstanding.
  15. They Were Expendable. Imo, the best war movie ever made. Donna Reed was a meal. Band of Brothers marathon just started on The History Channel.
  16. I feel your pain. I started college in '72 during the start of the Arab Oil embargo. Graduated and the best job I could find to pay for grad school was working on an offshore oil rig. Finally got a decent job, and then stagflation came along. The first mortgage I had was @ 12% (yeah, houses were cheaper..but still). Then came Black Monday in 1987 which wiped out my meager holdings. Then the rest of what you also experienced. Had I not stayed in the market in '08 ( against my better judgement) I would be in a world of shit right now. tl;dr Recessions are a normal part of the economic cycle, and they suck donkey dicks.
  17. He had a pretty decent tenure at MSU. Went 2-1 against the Buckeyes.
  18. Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.
