the gummy is down the hatch
a pilsner will be first up
Woodford Reserve in ... reserve
if necessary a dram of Talisker to close out the evening.

funny that my "supplier" is my college grad who when we moved to Vancouver and smelled pot 23hrs/day was terribly worried at age 12 that we were all going to become addicts :D

getting to 75 in Buffalo today.

i mean yes - it's nice and all but this ain't right.

MaxWebster

these pix are awesome - thanks for the share!

MaxWebster

side-note: i work in a small section of the federal govt and we've been getting daily emails with the subject: "Managing Stress and Anxiety During Election Season"

even just reading that title each morning is giving me anxiety :P

anyways - a general shout-out and thank you for this board. every ...

this is a relatively very-new thing for me, courtesy of my 22yr old, but ... i am fucking terrified - couldn't sleep last night - and will be gummying it up (??) at 6pm tonight. Will top it off with some Bourbon and get absolutely stupid (the gummy effect is really weird - i know so little and have ...

MaxWebster

i never have any idea what to expect - our first year in the house in 2018 was such madness that i had to run out and get more candy by like 7pm (something at this point i would easily just shut the house down and hide in the basement for) but a few years we've had only 20 or so at the door. maybe ...

MaxWebster

feel like i could have written all of this as well, Syb. Was roughly the same age watching Young Frankenstein and definitely had some funny feelings there. "What great knockers!"

Her Late Night appearances in the mid-late 80s were fantastic - although as I'm typing this didn't Dave have her *shower ...

MaxWebster

Fair but he's also a much better manager than he was 5 years ago - seems less-afraid to make a hard decision and really delivered a master class this entire postseason in roster management.

I was first in line ripping him in 2018-9 but man he killed it this year especially. This one eventually ...

MaxWebster

jesushchrist i was flipping through my 1979 baseball cards pre-game last night and noted my Rudy May (Expos) card.

I've got some bad mojo going on here wtactualf.

unless.... anyone have a drumpf Topps card somewhere??

MaxWebster

because i'm way too fking hyper-sensitive to these things i noticed her at first pitch and also noted she didn't even look up until after the first inning. i'm convinced she was paid to sit there with that fucking hat on all game - and yup, never reacted once all night because she was never watching ...

only if the Yankees start Jerry Mumphrey as their center fielder

all of this is really well-put. Nice.

Yeah not sure we could ever have a similar impact in today's world - that's not meant to be a "oh times were better" bullshit, just observations.

Talking it out with co-workers, his meteoric rise in '81 came about during a time when the entire nation could ...

MaxWebster

I need to channel more L-Jam in my life.

Thanks for this - I honestly think I'm going to have maybe 10 hours of decent sleep until after the fking election, and after that who the hell knows.

"Feel" is such a stupid and unscientific terms or vibe but I'll just share that everything *feels ...

MaxWebster

I laughed way-too inappropriately hard at this

Yankees might have to off Kevin Maas to level this out before Game 1.

yeah why is Fernando's passing hitting me so hard today - I wasn't even a Dodgers fan and/but I'm trying to explain it to my family ... can't be done.

I feel like my little ...

MaxWebster

LOL

I think the closest link actually had with Chicago in August 1977 was probably me scribbling on a Rick Reuschel baseball card "bRoThEr oF pAuL!"

(but thanks for the article which was a fun read for a Rush/Max nerd)

Random Max Webster sighting ...

wow that is so weird - Saturday night some old friends and i were watching the game and literally spent 20 minutes talking about Fernando. I even pulled out my old copy of that 1981 Sports Illustrated with him on the cover. Damn.

i was little but i absolutely remember his 1981 - indescribable. On ...

MaxWebster

i endorse this. when i had my signing-in 4 years ago at the federal office i had to walk out of the room underneath that fucking guy's picture which i proceeded to flip off ... so my anger at a literal inanimate object may have you beat in terms of immaturity.

Voted today as well no lines. And it ...

MaxWebster

y - would have started Tuesday but the Mets screwed it up by prolonging the inevitable.

i do like the Friday/Saturday setup for games 1 and 2.

it took me 2 reads to realize that you weren't talking about a new Q franchise called Poutineville and I was ready to go online and buy a sweater.

(but yeah the Voltigeurs' arena is a great old barn ... and the Gilbert Perreault rink in Victoriaville is just minutes away as ...

MaxWebster

i think the most damning thing i can say is "meh"

Rabid/diehard fan since i was 4 (still have the 1975 Finals pennant - my first game!) and i don't even watch anymore. Pegulas have nearly singlehandedly killed my interest in the NHL, and I know I'm not the only one. I can't invest my hope right now ...

MaxWebster

pretty sure their beef on weck is modeled after Charlie The Butcher about 2 miles from me (based on the fact that - at least 10yrs ago - they had a picture of Charlie the Butcher on the wall)

i'm hungry

I still occasionally daydream about the Atomic Meatloaf Meltdown sandwich at All-Star Sandwich Bar in Somerville...

MaxWebster

while in Fredericton any chance you can spend a day and get down to Hopewell Rocks? it's not that close (2+ hrs) but if you had the day it's worth it - largest tides in the world which as I'm typing that makes it sound like "and you don't want to see the world's biggest ball of twine" but definitely ...

Seattle Mayor Harrell Cuts Social Safety Net to Fund 16% Boost to SPD

this fking frosts me - Dave i'm sorry. Is there any...alternate choices one could make? I would never advocate for such a thing but you know, i'm just asking the question.

MaxWebster

i still hate that fking kid

MaxWebster

especially for such "respected" reporters/writers, these on-field interviews are beyond horrible. 6th grade level embarrassing without the charm of a kid.

...actually ... that would be awesome; get a 12 yr old to do these.

MaxWebster

LOL
i'm exactly the same, family just rolls their eyes at this point (esp. the number of Vancouver locales notably in commercials)

ugh i can't turn away ... until people are involved in a/the video then i have to nope out immediately.

i guess in the most impersonal/heartless way, i'm glad there are 4 baseball games today to distract me. :/

So, not trying to be a dick here Max, but came over to post this before reading your ...

MaxWebster

the before/after pix of this kind of storm surge is one thing but yesterday i saw a/the actual time-lapse video from Ian of the 12? ft storm surge and that fkd me up more than any still photo.

I'm definitely a weather geek and am fascinated by this on a purely scientific level but I'm not sure if ...

i have just been enjoying saying "rapscallion" to myself here for the past 30 seconds.

goddammit.

one of my first baseball "heroes" as a kid. Absolutely was "most-mimicked" delivery in elementary school in the late 70s (hm: tekulve, fidrych).

also have an autographed picture of him right here on my wall that he signed for me a minute before selling me one of his Cuban sandwiches ...

i don't know of even one person that would think Clase should get the cy young over Skubal

MaxWebster

it would be sad if it didn't directly affect the fking rest of us.

I actually do a lot of peripheral (very unimportant in the scheme of things) work around this and see how fking *amped up* the government gets (i.e. today) prepping for disasters - we're all on red alert again this week and tons of ...

MaxWebster

yeah easy for me to say (up here in beautiful and calm western new york) but damn - please tell them to hire some help if need be; there's a lot of official "life-threatening" chatter about this storm. it's going to be a direct hit.

MaxWebster

Milton shot to a Cat 4 overnight and storm surges in the Tampa area are projected to be in the 8-12 *feet* range - not sure what that means for Tuesday flights but .... yeesh.

as of now it looks like by Tuesday night the winds will be starting to directly pummel Tampa.

fk - be safe everybody
