  1. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/couldnt-transport-snakes-cattle-trailer-013800311.html The doctor's quote might be the funniest thing in the article.
  2. Anything I've tried from Woodinville has been really good for the $.
  3. Yeah, his acting has never resonated with me. Thought he was okay in Ride with the Devil, but that was mainly because his youthful look, mannered acting, and naivete seemed to fit in with both the plot and 19th century frontier mores.
  4. I get it. A lot of DJ's can be annoying, talk too much, and take away from the music, which to me is a cardinal sin. But a really good DJ could enhance the experience. For example, Jody Denberg was a guy that enhanced the experience for me. I learned stuff about the music and the artists he was playing because of his commentary, and it gave me a deeper appreciation for what I was hearing. FWIW, I rarely listen to radio anymore. But there was something cool about 70's and 80's radio when you had the right DJ handling things.
  5. Dale counts if you want him to count.
  6. I didn't always agree with his takes (his on-air rant about the Who playing the Hollywood Bowl a couple days after Entwistle died stands out as one example), but the man lived and breathed rock n' roll and fought hard to do his radio programs his way, which one had to respect. He was one of the last of a dying breed. I kind of feel bad for kids these days who won't know what it was like to listen to the radio and hear DJ's that you felt you had a connection with.
  7. Your mind might have been clouded by the typically wooden Tobey Maguire performance in that one. It permeated the entire film.
  8. Definitely a strong Sela Ward resemblance. And that's a very good thing.
  9. Lee *is* a good get for them, but, yeah, they're losing a lot of talent off that defense due to graduation, early departure for the draft, and portal. Both are true, but the ags are gonna have to bring in a helluva lot more than Lee to offset their losses.
  10. I haven't had the issue with the garlic disintegrating on me, but throwing 'em into the boil a bit later than the japs makes sense to me. I also haven't tried the recipe without doing the cold water bath, but I assume a big reason for that step is that it makes the peppers easier to handle when you're cutting the tops/stems off. I can't imagine skipping that step makes a difference in taste. And, yeah, squeeze bottles are great for this stuff. I don't double the recipe because I'm the only one eating it (the wife isn't big on spicy food), but it still goes quick.
  11. Was there last weekend. If you're looking for an off-strip restaurant, the food at The Black Sheep (on Warm Springs Road about 10 miles SW of the strip) was really good. And Piero's was excellent as well.
  12. Staley out as HC for the Chargers, along with the GM (Telesco). https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39119933/chargers-fire-head-coach-brandon-staley-gm-tom-telesco
  13. Seconded. The Victorinox paring knife is a goddam scalpel.
  14. Fuck Mahomes. Whiny ass pussy. Ref absolutely made the correct call.
  15. So which one of you wants to take credit for being the "cousin" in CheersforBeers' post? I have no cousins who are aggies, so it can't be me . . .
  16. Oh, I enjoy watching aggy lose as well, no question. And in some instances (e.g., 77-0, App State, etc.), the enjoyment is even greater than usual. But it doesn't come close to outweighing the pleasure I get from seeing Texas win. I guess it's just difficult for me to fathom the depth of the hatred that has to exist in order for a person to take more pleasure in the demise of another team than in their own team winning.
