We do not deserve to win this game. Totally outclassed. Totally outplayed. Flat.

NFL Week 17; Christmas-style on Netflix
I'm well acquainted with Minnesota's playoff history b/c I've been a fan since the early 70's. 1998 was particularly brutal. Are the Vikings "for real" in the sense that they're a good team this year? I think so. But I'm certainly not saying they'll win the Super Bowl. If they don't beat Detroit next weekend, they'll be a 5 seed and have to go on the road for their first playoff game, which is a potential recipe for a first round loss.

NFL Week 17; Christmas-style on Netflix
So past performance dictates whether a team is "for real" in the current season. Got it. I don't know how far Minnesota will go in the playoffs. I do know that nobody (including me) figured they would be 14-2 heading into the final week of the season. Not even close. If KOC isn't COY, something is radically wrong.

Not to mention Blaine Nye literally tackling Mark Mullaney at Staubach's feet.

Worst concert/live show that you attended
You could say the same thing with regard to Nina Simone. Or B.B. King. Or Hugh Masekela. And probably even Young-Holt Unlimited. The order of artists on that bill was messed up.

Understood that it doesn't factor in now that the CFP is in place, but from a general perception standpoint it's still useful to shut down moronic aggy fans who still chirp about Texas' supposedly weak schedule. That said, I won't mind if Haynes King plays well, simply because it'll piss off aggy.

Don't Say No certainly had some hits. And I happen to dig the song Lonely Is the Night in particular. But he put on a really tepid show when I saw him. Corgan has always come off like a raging asshole.

Hawaii- Big Island
Think it's a reservation-only thing now that is held on certain dates. https://hilo.hawaii.edu/maunakea/kuene/stargazing.php The wife and I went up to Mauna Kea this past May during daylight hours, and we both agreed it was definitely worth it. Doing a nightime stargazing trip would be an awesome experience. Definitely try to acclimate at the visitors center before attempting to drive up to the summit. I've hiked and backpacked at high elevation on numerous occasions in the past with no effects, but going up to Mauna Kea summit sure gave me the dizzies, and that was after spending 1-2 hours down at the visitors center.

Worst concert/live show that you attended
Seeing Billy Squier mentioned on the "albums with no bad songs" thread (!) reminded me that he would be on my list of worst concerts I've ever seen. There was a distinct lack of energy and enthusiasm even during his hits. A past-its-prime Nazereth opened. It was pretty bad. Joe Jackson is on the list as well. He seemed to be perturbed that the audience was there. Billy Boy Arnold at Antone's -- apparently he decided that particular date was "act like a jackass day." Who you got?

Top 10 rock'n'roll songs of all time
Yeah, "favorite" isn't necessarily the same as "greatest." "Surrender" by Cheap Trick is one of my all-time faves, but I don't think I'd put it in a list of "top 10 rock and roll songs of all time." Then again, maybe I would . . .
