  1. Clearly DPI on that 3rd down pass. No call against KC, though.
  2. That's Howie Epstein, who was (physically and in other ways) just a shadow of his former self by 2001, when that tribute concert occurred. I had to look pretty close myself at the video to satisfy myself that it was him. Howie died less than 2 years later.
  3. Yeah, I saw that as well -- it was something I did not know. Those effing pythons can kill you in more ways than one.
  4. The wife and I are one episode shy of finishing off Perfect Couple, and the only reason we're doing so is because we want to see how it ends. It's pretty fucking bad. Some of the scenes and writing are cringeworthy. It's a shallow soap opera set on Nantucket. I didn't learn until the third or fourth episode that the actress playing Amelia is Bono's kid. At least she's easy on the eyes.
  5. Annual Florida python roundup results in removal of 195 such sneks. I'm sure that's barely a dent in the population. https://www.yahoo.com/news/grand-prize-winner-removed-20-205303290.html Grand prize winner got $10K for capturing 20 of 'em. In the words of the immortal Jeff Spicoli, righteous bucks.
  6. Very Jekyll-and-Hyde game so far for Texas on offense.
  7. Finished off a store pick of ECBP last night and had a snort of Larceny BP (124) right after it, and the Larceny is definitely more my speed. That Larceny is some good stuff. Very smooth for a high proofer.
  8. You should feel bad for being as wrong as you are.
  9. In their song "How Are You" off their third studio album, Cheap Trick references "I Want You To Want Me" off their second album.
  10. Then: SEC is the toughest conference, there's never an easy game. SECSECSECSECSEC! Now: Sips were gifted an easy schedule by . . . playing us in our stadium!
  11. I read in another article that (1) this dumbass is a high school teacher (!); and (2) he free-handles his sneks (including the venomous ones like the inland taipan), i.e., he doesn't use gloves. Kinda reminds me of the idiots who make "serpent handling" a religious event.
  12. https://www.yahoo.com/news/14-types-venomous-snakes-found-154736262.html I try not to wish death on anyone (well, except persons driving slow in the #1 lane, but I'm sure you join me in finding that kind of shit simply cannot be tolerated in civilized society) . . . but my attitude is that if this clown happens to die from his snake bite, he goddam well deserves it and there won't be any lamentation from me. Assholes like this who not only put themselves but also their neighbors at risk by illegally harboring exceedingly poisonous sneks are selfish, unthinking bastards. If I were a neighbor, I'd be burning the house to the ground in case the authorities happened to overlook any other taipans or cobras or fer-de-lances, etc. that this maniac happened to be harboring at the time he fucked around and found out.
  13. Quoted for truth.
  14. No worries -- was just making sure there wasn't another tome out there about the band. I read Trouble Boys a while back and thought it was very good. There are a few other books out there about the 'Mats, including All Over But The Shouting and Lemon Jail. I haven't read either one, but might add them to my wish list to read someday, along with Hulla's recommendation above. I got into the Replacements right around Tim, and that remains my favorite album of theirs.
  15. Are you guys referring to Trouble Boys? Or is there some other book about the Mats called Danger Boys?
  16. Well, not Armybrat old
  17. Saw it in the theater (yes, I am old). And I agree with your assessment. RIP, Mr. Jones
  18. I said this while watching the game -- I am surprised that shit-tastic ref crew didn't flag Golden for OPI on that play.
  19. MSU will go back to being a really good team when aggy plays them. Aggy loses? That's because MSU is a really good team, ya stupid sip. Aggy wins? We just beat a really good MSU team! Where's our ranking??
  20. Username checks out
  21. Bigtime. 49-10
  22. Notre Dame didn't have a chance against NIU after the fightin' Texum aggies slobberknocked them domers so bad last weekend, ya stupid sip!
