  1. As I stated on another thread, I will be attending one -- the first political rally I have attended in my life. But that's how serious and fucked up things have become.
  2. It seems MAGA has a consensus regarding the language it wants to use to replace the wording on the plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty ("Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses," etc.).
  3. My old house can be seen for about 3 seconds in Catch Me If You Can. Does that count?
  4. It's both distressing and infuriating to me to see this country in the state it's in.
  5. Luxor is definitely worn out. But you can also get a suite for cheap there, and it's ultra-convenient to just walk from there to Allegiant. If you're not going to spending much time there anyway while you gamble, see the football game, eat meals, see shows, etc., it's bearable for a night or two. At least it was for me the one time I stayed there for a Raiders game when MB was booked except for ridiculously-priced suites. Mandalay Bay is certainly newer and nicer (and just as convenient), so I agree that I probably should have differentiated between the two in my prior post. But you'll also pay more at MB.
  6. Pioneer. Innovator. Big, big loss.
  7. Damn right. I've never attended a politics-related rally in my life, but that will change on June 14. Taco Trump has done so much damage to this country I love that I can no longer sit by thinking that "my vote is how I voice my opinion."
  8. Not sure about the timing aspect, but for Raiders' games I have opted for convenience by staying in either Mandalay Bay or Luxor (!), and then just walking over the 15 Freeway on Mandalay Bay Road on gameday. It's so easy. There's also a Four Seasons on the MB property for you high rollers who think MB or Luxor are beneath you.
  9. Always a great idea to start blazing away while on video. Makes the LEOs' jobs so much easier.
  10. This is the kind of hijack that is totally okay.
  11. Most Allsups burritos consumed? Just trying to be helpful here . . .
  12. Congrats, ladies!!! Suck it, Mahomes! I don't see you around now . . .
  13. Bun E. is super cool. He regularly releases board recordings of old CT concerts, practice sessions, etc., on Facebook and Youtube. Daxx has certainly gotten better -- substantially so, IMO. But Bun E. had a certain swing or feel that can't be replicated.
  14. Well, you know what they say -- a German who goes around the corner for lunch usually takes a turn for the wurst.
  15. "Alex, I'll take Texas A&M mottos for $500."
  16. He's the reich kicker at the reich time.
  17. Great job, ladies! Now keep it going!!
  18. [*crossing Blatten off list of places to visit*] https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/29/climate/video/glacier-landslide-switzerland-collapse-ldn-digvid
  19. I was unaware that Elko had been found passed out by the dumpsters behind The Chicken. Is he okay?
  20. Relatively *recent* history . . . This happened four years ago. Still makes me chuckle and shake my head. https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2025/05/27/happy-javyversary-four-years-ago-today-javy-baez-did-the-most-el-mago-thing-ever/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKjEHtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETF0QkNScGJYSlY3eVliaG0zAR5WZxDwClPqlSMZTIHz0ElI6_ooDZhOLrz89_FPjseFJ1zlknFMpwGZ6Jn9JA_aem_q6RGee6Ew2UMPwDNSVkZ3w
  21. Dude probably deserves his own thread. He could play.
  22. Black Bag. Thumbs up.
