Isn't that wisdom we could all apply to our lives?

"not doing a thing, just being a bear."

I've been struggling with this. Not those particluar shows, but just how I now seem to feel this constant NEED to consume a new show because there are so many that people say need watching. I feel you. I respond to this feeling by setting my standards incredibly high. There are plenty of shows I'll...

Come on, fellas. Twin Peaks? Nada? That was peak David Lynch. Hunter Thompson famously said 'it never got weird enough for me." That mess was too weird for me. And, yeah, I watched the Gong Show, and I liked it. Again. And Preacher, holy fuck. Saul and Fargo end, Preacher begins. Golden age.

Office office, a ten. Since it is, um, a pre-surgery operating room. Home office, a solid 1. After David Lynch treatment.

Who the hell is gonna relate to stories about a little brown boy growing up in Davis, Ca? Oh, wait…

Rapelling down a rope from a helicopter, even if mfers on the ground are not really shooting at you, is only second to jumping out of an airplane on list of things I won't be doing. And you don't always need a big-ass .50 cal rifle to do the job. https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftact...

.50 caliber browning cartridges are indeed configured for fighter jet ammo, as well as anti-tank armor-piercing rounds, incendiary rounds, tracer rounds for signaling and target designation, or a simpler round for killing a person two miles away (fucking a). And bullets slow down, due to still air a...

I checked #1 and it wasn't Showgirls, so fuck this list (but Dirty Work would've satisfied)

the way they kicked the ball around last night, gifting the Giants their first win in nine days, the whole Braves infield ought to be out there.

Re the songwriter licensing post above. Good for Lowry and the rest of that class. (Although I prob owe him a few bucks cuz a band I was in covered Jack Ruby a couple of times.). And that is a grim reminder, Jaco has been gone 30 years now, damn time marches on.

As much time as you've spent together over the years, sure he's a good friend.

Sorry you have to put up with this crap, best of luck.

This was a lone hit (and not much of a hit) from a pair of songwriters for the Philadelphia sound thing in the 70s. Not a particularly great song, but I liked it at the time (end of college) and associate the tune with some fun memories. And I heard it on the radio this morning. eta: I imagine Karl ...

Man, this course looks unappealing on tv. Like an overflow parking lot, at a county fair or something.

On twitter the other day, Graham Parker was joking about how American fans often mistake him for Parsons. (I was guilty of that the first time I heard of Parker.). Graham mentioned he had never heard Gram Parsons; I suggested Greivous Angel, in no small part because of the Emmylou duets.

From the Dusty Baker files about 26 rows directly above Larry Baer (yellow tie, white shirt in background) is my location when that photo was snapped.

I try, really hard, to not slip into the old man stereotype of being unable/unwilling to adapt to change, particularly technologic.

Iggy huge tonight, he deserves a lot of credit.

That last Bron miss will do it. Damn, Cavs never quit.

JR is the threat of the three. Korver, not so much (he is 5-15 on the series, I thought he was worse.)

howard

I think Kyle Korver checking KD is a mismatch. Why is he even on the floor here? (not that I mind)

howard

JR and Thompson have been huge. Let's see if Kyrie's legs hold up; Bron does not seem fatigued in the least.

Klay is gonna have to hit a couple in the 4th.

They should give Carrie Coon all the Emmys. Loved the Leftovers finale episode. Sepinwall also had a good interview with creator Damon Lindelof, he mentions there is a connection of season 3 with a great old movie.

Well, one of the best lines I read last night, the DUP do possess some of the greatest minds of the 17th century.

bengal, your con argument is well taken, and I agree. At the same time, there is a value to exposure of that darkness. Sunshine being the best disinfectant. I don't think that overcomes the con aspect, but it is something.

That was really something special. We'll long remember this game. Fucking Kyrie is so damn good.

And you are too kind, the memory is much more pleasant than the reality.
