  1. I think it's telling that three days after broadcast few even care to comment on it.
  2. I'm floating one after losing a deal to UFCU purely due to market improvement two weeks ago.
  3. I've decided that Habib is that little girl standing in front of a house burning meme.
  4. So which position player should we have throw the last three innings?
  5. I don’t know, I thought Spider-Man/Dr Strange team-up used it perfectly. What does that have to do with Secret Invasion, though? Loki and Hawkeye were both good. I didn’t watch Ms Marvel and She Hulk appeared to be an ambitious miss (trying to make a 4th wall breaking comedy was at least an attempt at something different). Wandavsion was very ambitious even if the climax was rather conventional. I think Secret Invasion is just very much lacking in vision and is super low energy for some reason.
  6. As long as we are venting about IT posters, Nahlin wrote something last year about "pants pissers" and now every other post feels compelled to reuse it. Best analogy to it I can come up with is when Trump (no CR) would refer to Covid as the "China virus" and his supporters adopted it, presumably as a way to self-identify to each other. Except in IT's case it reeks of sycophancy, a phenomenon I've observed at all the pay sites for their mods. I'm not sure what favors someone like Ketch or Liucci have available to bestow, maybe it's just the validation of an occasional shout out. Either way it's always struck me as very weird.
  7. Ugh, that’s what I get for typing on my phone. “Covering the pipe was a spider WEB and cocooned within it were several kittens.”
  8. I love Night Shift even more if you understand the context under which the short stories were written-exploitive, EC comic style short stories written for porno mags by a part-time freelancer looking for any extra cash possible. Not my favorite but Gray Matter refers to a haunting image that’s not really a spoiler that I’ll share and has stuck with me-in the story a bunch of regulars at a bar are recounting spooky tales; one of them describes a postman who, on his delivery route, passed one of those large storm drain pipes, the kind large for a man to crawl into. Covering the pipe was a spider man and cocooned in the web were several kittens. He never saw the spider.
  9. I’m very intrigued by what Gordon Green might come up with.
  10. Thanks man, that just sent me down the rabbit hole of looking through the Pirates records from 2013-present. I had zero recollection of their 2015 98 win season.
  11. I was thinking about this yesterday and Pena's performance is really being overlooked in light of the other struggles on the roster. Keith Law updated his top 60 prospect list the other day and Baltimore has a SS that's blocked in AAA behind Gunnar Henderson with Jackson Holliday coming in behind him (Joey Ortiz). Very different game from Pena (far better contact ability/strike zone judgement with less power). I wonder if there's any chance of a match there, maybe on a three-way trade.
  12. Hah! Catching up on this thread-my Mom cut out a bunch of Longhorn articles from the Statesman for me when I was in Iraq in 2005 and just gave them to me the other day. “Just found these in case you want to have them.” Even worse it was all Kirk Bohls commentary pieces.
  13. I was also in Charleston for the fourth and posted about the talent on display on the travel thread (also it was crazy humid). What was interesting to me was the age diversity. Groups of college age girls, older groups there for bachelorette parties, more middle aged groups doing girl weekend getaways. It must check a lot of boxes considering there’s not much nightlife.
  14. That’s terrific news for my investment in a Noah Baumbach helmed “Hot Wheels” movie listed on the Hollywood Stock Exchange.

    Pizza

    Cursed location, imo. This is probably a stupid reason to not try it out but they’ve been direct mailing coupons and my record with nearby pizza shops advertising with such medieval methods has been universally poor.
  16. I don’t think anything coming from that one will be particularly damaging short of incarceration.
  17. Let's not overlook that holding up a hand could be very much an homage to the actor he'd be replacing....
  18. I’ve decided this show is pretty bad. Very little suspense, the plot twists aren’t particularly compelling nor are the stakes, and it’s shot in a manner that’s workmanlike at best. It’s basically the Netflix Marvel series level quality but with sad Nick Fury. Even in concept I think they misunderstand the basic appeal of Samuel L Jackson. We want to see him and the character outsmart everyone, not wait until the last 30 minutes of programming to “wake up” and be a badass again. Agree with those above praising Olivia Colman-the energy in the scenes she’s in are like a whole different show.
  19. Yeah, I'd rather we find a way to bring Verlander back than trade for Luis Robert based on my expectation of cost. Jay Jaffe was calling out Crane for being chicken shit about the luxury tax in a chat the other day and I think that's a good point. You're the defending champion and have a chance to go back to back--why are you sweating a few million in tax liability if it extends the window?
  20. I’m only quoting this part for kudos for the whole post-thank you for sharing.
  21. I don’t really have this experience because I have little kids and no social life, but it seems like Aggies try to talk football with anyone identifying themselves as a Longhorn. On the rare occasion I specifically try to avoid that conversation because it always leads to some dig and smirk.
  22. @blacklab@immamacCan we move this to "Board Discussion"? This isn't really a current events discussion.
  23. Why in God's name are you listening to the blitz? Not that I'm happy about anyone losing a job but Craig's place is in the booth calling the game and then putting him back in cryogenic stasis between games. His autistic level fascination with probabilistic outcomes regarding the high school playoffs is terrible, terrible radio "So if Bastrop loses Liberty Hill today, but Kerville Tivvy wins against Buda, then Bastrop Cedar Creek plays Comal Pieper but it's a tie, then let's say Buda Hays decides to forfeit their game against Medina Valley, then Alamo Heights will be district runner-up. But if Bastrop wins, but Kerville Tivvy wins by 15 and Bastrop Cedar Creek loses....."
