  1. God dammit, he’s keeping me from my Nobel prize!
  2. New Orleans has 100-year-old theater where Sinners was shown in 70 mm - one of five theaters in the country with that format. It was mostly filmed in and around New Orleans, so they gave us that small gift. A very interesting take on the vampire genre. Vampires, black folk, blues music and a great 1930s set. I highly recommend it.
  3. African or European softball?
  4. probably fleeing from that thick water bottle snake.
  5. Well, “hide in plain sight” may not be much of a strategy, but at least it’s a strategy. Two remain at large.
  6. I assume there is a sub Reddit
  7. So - a precocious pedo you say?
  8. If she was one of the ones molested by that Larry Nasser guy at her coaches training center in Texas, I am definitely gonna give her a pass for how she dealt with the trauma.
  9. She nailed the hair. A perfect 10.
  10. my opinion is that the answer is that there is no good answer
  11. That is all very sound and logical, but the gators are the poster child of what have you done lately? It is beyond question that we sucked in our first four SEC series to go 1-11. It is also unquestioned that we won late season series against pig and the horns and the tide. We won the series against FSU as well in non-conference play. So you could say that our sucky start should keep us out of a regional bid, because computer ratings and a .500 conference record. But what if you had an undefeated team with three shutdown pitchers who were all injured in the same car accident, and were 0-14 their last games after? Are we going to include them for an 0-2 BBQ bid because they had incredible potential at the start of the year? I dunno man. At some point, the body of work has to be tweaked by how good you are as you enter the tournament. How one does that fairly? I have no earthly idea.
  12. Don’t bad Mojo us before we get by Coastal Carolina.
  13. My uncle Donnie was a bad ass with the First Special Service Force, a.k.a., the Devils Brigade. Shrapnel from a German 88 severed his spine and almost killed him - in the army medical care tried their best also after his paralysis left him with numerous bed sores and infections. His uncle drove from Miami and kidnapped him from the hospital and brought him home - helping him stay afloat in the ocean, paddling with his arms, getting stronger and curing his bedsores. He recovered enough to get a law degree from the university of Miami and to open his own law office. But the continued health challenges from his severe war injuries led to his death a decade later. Like so many veterans, the fact that he didn’t die the same hour he was injured in battle - and survived for years after - in my mind makes him just as eligible to be honored on Memorial Day as the other veterans who gave their last measure of devotion during the war. R.I.P. Donnie
  14. She flew P-51s and P-38s. Bad ass broad. RIP
  15. SEC-Rant fun: If you wanted a distilled version of Aggy brain, Cletus created a commemorative cup celebrating their .500 record against LSU after they were denied a tournament slot after being preseason Number 1. When called on the stupidity of having a football on the cup, the Aggy creator blamed it on artificial intelligence. Never change Aggy.
  16. Gata is generally content being in Coastal Carolinas regional. Which could be a mistake. That is a confident dangerous program who will not have jitters being there. I can’t imagine we would take them for granted. If we win the thing we probably get to play Auburn in the super. I would prefer seeing teams we’ve never played before - at least until Omaha.
  17. North Carolina sounds nice…. I never wanna be in Tallahassee or Georgia if I can help it.
  18. I had my roof replaced last year, and even though I got the upgraded shingles and the waterproof membrane on my entire roof instead of just the valleys, it turns out the plywood that was installed decades ago was not thick enough to meet the fortified roof standard, and it would have cost a fortune to replace every sheet of plywood on my roof to get the fortified certification that reduced my homeowners premium. $4K for ins, but in New Orleans that is a bargain.
  19. I’m waiting to see which regional will be welcoming number three seed Florida with open arms.
  20. Florida women won their seventh straight super regional third game win.
  21. That sounds much more PR friendly than “collapsible butt plug”.
  22. fantastic. We can’t get our crap together and it’s only May.
  23. My older brother has the Blind Faith album, the Beatles Butcher album cover, the original Golden Earring Moon Tan cover, and the Andy Warhol inspired black pirate album cover from Velvet Underground’s White Light/White Heat I’m actually in his will for those
  24. Damn, if we lose a super to Georgia at our place, there’s not enough alcohol in the world to make me feel better. We need a gator-longhorn matchup, bigly.
  25. Blue could not figure out whether he hated that low ball - or loved that low ball. Both feelings were in his heart all game.
