  1. Came here to post essentially the same thing. She fine.
  2. I sure do LIKE both of those songs.
  3. Sorry, but not sorry.
  4. CCR is one of those bands whose place in music history I certainly respect. The run they had during the 2.5 year period that Jimmy Jazz referenced in the OP rivals or beats anything that any other band ever did in a similar period of time. But while I like several of their songs (Green River, Fortunate Son, Bad Moon Rising [which always makes me think of An American Werewolf in London]), I don't LOVE any of them.
  5. I like the Lions losing, but that's a horribad call. Basically corrupt.
  6. LOL, SC is so lame. I said to my son when aggy made it 30-10 that it wouldn't surprise me if SC would fall apart and lose
  7. Jack in the Crack tacos were the subject of the best 3-word food review I've ever seen: "Vile and amazing."
  8. What?! No silver queen corn or Stowell evergreen corn?! That's a shite recipe.
  9. That looks . . . interesting.
  10. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/46928693/former-nba-star-micheal-ray-richardson-dies-age-70 Those of us who were following the NBA in the early 80's figured this guy would be a perennial All-Star. File under "Players who likely would have been Hall of Famers but for drugs" along with the likes of Len Bias, Marvin Barnes, etc. Got overshadowed to an extent by the Lakers v. Celtics rivalry, Magic v. Bird, etc., but he could do it all. But, as Rick James once said, cocaine is a helluva drug. Glad he was able to kick it later in life, but it (along with Richardson's own terrible choices) ruined a really promising career.
  11. What inning?
  12. I like how the network highlights the corn WR blocking, and neither Brando nor his idiot broadcast partner catch that he engaged well before the pass was thrown.
  13. And a lucky win, thanks to the refs.
  14. Died a few days ago. Played on some great Squeeze songs during what I think was their best period, including Cool for Cats, Pulling Mussels, Tempted, Is That Love, etc., etc. His drumming always seemed to serve the song well. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/longtime-drummer-classic-rock-band-215027149.html
  15. Great movie (as is True Grit, the Magnificant 7, and a bunch of others), but my choice for best Western of the 1960's would be The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
  16. My understanding has always been that TP punched the wall and broke his hand all to hell because of dissatisfaction with how the recording was going on one of his songs on Southern Accents.
  17. Just an atrocious effort. No attempt to wrap at all.
  18. That open shift box *is* cool.
  19. Fucking Blue Jays, you had it in your hands & just coughed it up. Can't squander that many opportunities against that caliber of a team. Great game, great series. Congrats to LA. They kept fighting the entire time & made the plays.
  20. JFC, just stop. Did you forget the first three fucking quarters?
  21. OK, fair enough. But you do realize that play probably doesn't happen if the refs had properly called DPI on Vandy during the prior Texas drive, right?
  22. Sark's responsible for the refs blowing obvious fucking calls??
  23. Filsaime having a shitty game. Missed tackle on the Vandy TD and a stupid personal foul.
  24. I don't mind it at all.
  25. That's sad news about Marcia Ball. She certainly knows her way around the keyboard. Would play up a storm while kicking one of her crossed legs to the rhythm. Speaking of weddings, I once saw her play a wedding reception. The groom (who was a friend of a friend) absolutely loved Marcia Ball's music, so they came up with enough $ to get her to play the reception. Unfortunately, things got cut short when the groom hurt himself dancing during the festivities.
