  1. I don't think that's tankie, I think that's a legit concern.
  2. The guide said there are various rumors, but they're not exactly sure. The primary rumor is that the Navy fixed it that way when they gave it up so that it couldn't be used again. Of course, this seems dubious as it was an old ship in 1946 and no one was ever going to use it again anyhow. While it may've been fixed at that time, it also seems likely that a lack of maintaining the steering mechanisms in general could've contributed. There are some gaskets that have to be regularly changed out back there to keep the rudder turning, and no one has done any of that since it was handed over by the Navy. There was never any reason to do so and other maintenance tasks were always more pressing. There's a high likelihood all the mechanisms are frozen together at this point. It isn't leaking, so they aren't messing with it. They are contemplating doing a t-shirt with the ship profile and the motto "Come and Straighten It", which I would buy if they did. Pretty good inside joke there.
  3. This. He's going to shift a bunch of assets to his minions, then file another bankruptcy. It'll be a while. I'm predicting shortly after the election next year, if he loses. If he wins, all this stuff is coming back to him.
  4. This is the horror of war. And specifically the horror of this war. The completely unnecessary waste of human lives. Not to mention all the destruction of material and cultural things. In this case, all for the hubris of one man. It is overwhelming at times and I'm just following a thread on a message board full of idoits and assholes. Not even close to the trenches.
  5. They were alluding to this on the tour, but didn't want to put out any specifics. They said things like, "There's an open berth just across from the yard on Galveston Island. But that's none of my business."
  6. None of those guys running were carrying rifles?

    Led Zeppelin

    That was the first song I ever tabbed out completely on my own. In retrospect, I probably should’ve picked something a bit slower. I probably burned out the motor on my cassette player. I’ll chalk it up to misspent youth.
  8. Sure. Poland and Latvia want Wagnerites closer to them.
  9. Agree. That was not my favorite of theirs.
  10. Another from the same album. Older live version though.
  11. Love this song and love this version of it. "Charlie's fixin his van with his left arm tan"
  12. This isn’t a boycott, RD.
  13. So Mr. Wagner foot soldier guy, you still have problems with joining the MOD? - Pooty Poot, Aug 23.
  14. This. The whole voucher thing really plays into the aspirational politics of the right. “Vote for me! I’ll make you rich (like me) and you can send your kids to a private school (like me)!” Meanwhile, what do you think that private school is going to do when you and all the other folks who bought into the scheme show up with their vouchers? Erect more barriers to entry, that’s what.
  15. I missed them at ACL which was my main reason for seeing this show. Beck I’ve seen a few times. He brought his A game with this set. He played 30 minutes of high energy, up tempo songs before he played a slow one. That’s no mean feat. I mean, he isn’t old, but it was like full on party without a rest for a while. That’s a long time for a crowd.
  16. Jesus wasn’t as fab. Of course you’re 100% correct.
  17. Considering that’s what the gqp wanted for criminals, the irony would be exquisite.
  18. The Lennon hypothesis would be a joy to watch.
