    Hoping Moose has hunkered down, seeing reports of -40° in Fairbanks, and 75-100+ inches of snow recently in Juneau and Anchorage.

    Sounds like an average Alaska winter.

     Flying in directly to Monterey looks like the way to go.

    That's a pretty small airport, so options are going to be limited, though it does appear that there's a daily AA flight from Dallas that goes there.  Still, I think the San Jose airport is going to have more (and probably cheaper) flight options, and it's an easy 90 minute drive from that airport to Carmel down the 101 and the 1.

    I don't remember which medication it was, but on one of the pharma ads it says, "Do not take gobblygoop if you are allergic to its ingredients.  Reactions can be severe, including death..."

    Then why are you motherfuckers advertising it on public TV, as if usage is just discretionary?  " Hey Doc, i was wondering, can I try some of that high risk shit that might kill me for this rash I've had on my arm?"

    When I hear "don't take [*insert drug name here*] if you are allergic to it," I always wonder to myself, "How the hell am I supposed to know if I'm allergic to it?"  

    I suppose I could try it and see.  But if it turns out I'm allergic to it, then I'm fucked.

    “Wichita Lineman” is a fucking terrible song.  Stupid lyrics.  Melody that meanders aimlessly.  
     

    Compelling like a dirt sandwich. Totally fucking pointless and without merit. 
     

    I guess the record company decided Glenn was handsome and marketable and so they paid off the radio stations to play this banal and insipid piece of shit.  
     

    Sorry if you got tricked.  
     

    Yes, I resurrected this thread to say that.  I’ve needed to get it off my chest for decades.  

    You are doing this thread correctly.

  6. I had to chuckle when I saw KOTFM got nominated for best editing.  Scorsese is a legend, but he and Thelma Schoonmaker have fallen off badly in that department, IMO.  I liked KOTFM in general, but thought it was bloated with unnecessarily drawn-out scenes as well as scenes that didn't advance the plot much.  The Irishman had the same problem -- even worse, actually.  I guess I'm in the minority with this opinion. 

  7. Season 2 was completely implausible with some terrible acting to boot, but the worst part is that Serinda Swan never got nekkid. 

    All that said, I'm in for season 3.
