Bernie Madoff. The only link I can find so far is the San Fran Chronicle, which is paywalled.

ETA: Okay, here's the Bloomburg link.

Just got the official call that I've been canceled, but while I've been stuck in a Zoom meeting, my wife has been on the ball and I already have a Pfizer shot scheduled for Saturday. I am getting calls from where I wait listed. Might be my location, but things are opening up around here. I got Pfiz...

As I put in the Capn Anxiety thread, I'm scheduled for J&J tomorrow, but I guess we shall see if I'm still allowed to get it. I will if they let me. Already heard of one person slotted for tomorrow who has been cancelled. Just got the official call that I've been canceled, but while I've been stuck...

Today is the first day I'm eligible (1C in PA) and I'm set up for Wednesday morning for some one-stop shotting (J&J) at the grocery store pharmacy. Which feels good after opening of little league for the two little ones and lots more (masked) people than I've been around in a while.

Reaper

Haven't seen many of the nominated movies and performances yet, but I did stay awake through "Mank" which is well acted and looks great but is definitely not worth 2 + hours of your time. I actually did fall asleep halfway through that one and have to finish it here one of these days. Watched Mank ...

I like tradition. In my mind, it's silly for a team called the Red Sox to not wear any red. And, let's face it. They aren't trying to be cool or innovative. They're just trying to sell more replica merchandise. Do we know the socks aren't red? I mean, I know it's silly, but if they are, isn't that ...

And Villanova with their phone card probation! All three are equally disgusting!

Spoken like a true Hawk alum. Oh, wait. You're an Explorer.

Bummer of a way to end the season for Gonzaga. I had never really watched Baylor play before, but wow....they've got some big hulking dudes that can play. Gonzaga looked scrawny compared to them. If the Zags play their "A" Game against Baylor's "A" game....I say Baylor wins 8 out of 10 times. Not t...

Reaper

If I'm a Gonzaga fan, I'm blaming Timme for shaving the rest of the beard again before the last game.

Reaper

Whole fucking things started with what was clearly an intentional HBP that put him on base in the first place. And ended with the pitcher's knee on his back. That all he did was scream "let's fucking go" and flex was pretty goddamned restrained. And, as always, Yadi Molina is a consummate bitch. Th...

In their opening series, the Braves sent the lead singers of Jethro Tull and Coldplay to the mound, as well as the Fresh Prince.

Today is my (Step)Mother-in-Law's 60th birthday, and I realized I am currently the same age that she was when I met her 17 years ago.

Reaper

So, I’ve had a full beard for awhile and decided to shave it off today. But, I left a little chin goatee and soul patch. My daughter is home on break and I asked her what she thought. She disgustedly replied, “You look like you’re auditioning for Smashmouth.” I had to laugh. I shaved it all off. He...

Didn't see a baseball thread. MLB.TV is today's T-Mobile Tuesday giveaway. Sprint members are included since T-Mobile owns them now. Thanks for this. Made sure I signed up on Tuesday night and fired it up tonight once I saw the Mets-Nats was virused out, and then I realized that was the only game s...

I randomly noticed it was on a couple weeks ago and watched one episode and loved it, but it was late so I went to bed instead of watching another. Last night I was scrolling and saw it was on so I was going to watch another episode. It was the same damn episode! So eventually I'll get around to jus...

Reaper

I had completely forgotten that they kept the rule. Couldn't figure out how I missed the Braves getting a man on third with one out when I thought I missed maybe 30 seconds of game play. I don't completely hate the rule, but I don't understand why it has to happen in the 10th. At the earliest, it sh...

PA is still Phase 1A. Healthcare and 65+. No idea why they haven't expanded. We seem middle of the road for percentage of pop that is vaccinated. Maybe it's just an old/sick state. I've wait-listed all over the place, but haven't had a call yet. Looks like our time is coming. https://www.pa.gov/wp-...

It was 40 years ago today that it would have been nice if John Hinckley's aim was a little better. The deification of Reagan is one of those things that makes me feel old. Guy was a low-IQ mouthpiece for forces that have dragged the country way down. That missed shot ultimately proved to end the st...

17-game season is a go. As part of this, starting in 2022, four teams will be giving up a home game for an international game . It will be from the conference that has the extra home game on their schedule. The AFC gets the extra home game in 2021, so since this starts a year later, 4 NFC teams wil...

What is it about Baylor and horrible coaches?

But they lost. Why is she bringing all this up unprompted? She seemed level-headed when it hit her program in January.

Reaper

And overnight, Virginia Beach . At least 9 shot, 2 dead, including a suspect. This story is just more confusing now. The dead "suspect" is no longer a suspect in the overall shootings, may or may not have been armed, killed by a cop whose body camera was turned off, and happens to be Pharrell's cou...

Just found that Walter and George Segal did a short-lived sitcom together in 2011-2012 that was on TV Land. It was called Retired at 35, which I'm sure you can guess that their son, well, retired at age 35 and moved in with them. Even with the two legends, I'm sure hilarity did not ensue. https://ww...

Howard Schellenberger. Basically built three football programs including one from the ground up (Florida Atlantic) It’s interesting. If not for alcoholic Bob Irsay and his ass-handed meddling in his Colts’ team affairs, Schellenberger might’ve become a legendary NFL coach. Also of note: it’s pretty...

Dolphins just traded back up. To Philly, giving Howie Roseman an extra 1st in ‘22 to piss away. The only reason I don't like this is because you kinda sorta but not really tanked in the last game, then trade right below two division rivals. If the Cowboys and Giants weren't sitting right there at 1...

There was a couple year span at the end of the 90s when Just Shoot Me was the funniest show on tv.
uh huh

I almost posted the clip with Slow Donnie and the tubes and hot air and vacuum. Still every time I go to a bank and use one, I sing Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot Pie.

Hmmm. Good for her. Sucks that people make comments where she can see them. (I admit that might be hypocritical but I don’t think she reads the Swamp so there’s pretty clearly a distinction.) Oh, I agree on the distinction. Commenting on a pretty small message board that someone is hot is degrees d...

I’ll say what’s on everyone’s mind: Lily is obviously pregnant, why not just run with that instead of covering it up? It drives me nuts that that woman is insanely hot IRL and ATT makes her look as dowdy and lame as possible. She's also gotten a ton of online harassment , so it's very possible that...

Oh, that is most definitely a part of it. I read this last night about the Evangelical side of it. “Purity culture places heavy emphasis on temptation and evil.

Damn - love me some Boosh. Stupid, ‘Young Ones’ type humor. Gets me every time.

I was told the, um, thing on the beer I drank last night looked like Old Gregg, and now I've gone down a Mighty Boosh rabbit hole.
