The funny thing is that I assume he does this sort of thing to make himself seem more relatable to people. But, I think it actually works the opposite way.

I’d agree with all of that. I like those actors, too. But something just missed the mark.

Cool.

One of my wife’s old friends is visiting. I generally like her, but she has a thing about you reading your phone in her presence. “What is so interesting on your phone??” I get that to a degree, but sheesh, you’re here to visit my wife, not me! (All this as a roundabout answer to why I wasn’t online...

Hudsucker was ok as a screwball comedy, but it didn’t really grab me. Certainly not like Raising Arizona did.

I own a dvd copy of Fargo, so looking forward to yet another viewing of it!

Super stoked to be in Lake Charles for the McNeese St. first-round game. Gonzaga is definitely beatable....they got their shit together, starting with the Kentucky game, but they are still lousy shooting from the outside. I’d say that having the game in Salt Lake City definitely helps Gonzaga, thou...

Well, Shirley, big game on Tuesday!

I am envious of those old skiers. There was a time in my life when I skied 30+ times a year. Now, with eye and shoulder issues, my balance seems off. So I may never ski again. It’s not a big deal, given the cost, anyway, but it does make me wistful.

Way to go, (former) airman!

sancarlos

That’s a name from wayyy back.

On a really fun note, CV reached out to tell me he's a Steeler fan now.

Costumed Vigilante?

sancarlos

He’s mainly just sticking up for his daughter.

san carlos... One of the early front-runners is Rams coach Niko Medved. Pretty relieved Manuel (AD) didn't drag this out. Rip off the bandaid and move on with the entire field to look at. Beilein, while I love what he did for the program, absolutely fucked them by leaving when he did. I know the co...

Conversely, wtf are the Chargers doing? They’ve lost every decent weapon Herbert had.

The Sharks had the 2nd overall pick before they even existed!

30 years ago, we got Patty Falloon. Woo hoo. Celebrini to the Sharks!

Goddamit, it's the Sharks' turn to draft first!

Remember that video a couple years ago where every local Sinclair-owned TV station had their anchors spouting the exact same thing?

sancarlos

And I think on a societal level, it's warping kids' minds and sucking them into hours of mindless watching based on the algorithms and the constant cycling of one video into the next and they lose track of time. To be fair, this isn't unique to Tik Tok...if there was no Tik Tok it would be somethin...

TIL that Cameron Brink, the All-America star of the Stanford women’s basketball team, is the goddaughter of former NBA player, Dell Curry - the father of Steph Curry. Her godmother is Sonya Curry, Steph’s mother. All four of the parents attended Virginia Tech together, where the mothers were roommat...

So now we’re focused on the evils of Tik Tok? Fortunately, there are aren't any more important issues ongoing in our country, right? Right?

The wife and I both turn 65 this year. So, I'm shopping Medicare supplemental insurance plans. If that doesn't make a guy feel old, I don't know what does.

Yeah, I haven’t seen the movie either, and I’m enjoying it.

sancarlos

Watched the first two episodes of Guy Ritchie’s new series The Gentlemen, on Netflix ( a spinoff from the movie of the same name). I’m enjoying it very much. Very Guy Ritchie-ish, in the crime/comedy sense.

Well, DSafe, Dylan Larkin may be the most valuable player, because the Wings can’t win without him.

There are some tweets reporting a couple playoff contender-ish teams are kicking the tires on bringing Fields as a backup. Every goddamn story about his trade value in the last month listed it peaking as a third-rounder (except for some unnamed coach saying he would get a second). I know I don't kn...

Aaron Rodgers and Jesse Ventura? Who didn’t make the cut - that flat earth kid who doesn’t believe in Space? Scott Baio?

sancarlos

Congrats, Rass!

sancarlos

Yeah, I was that way with my daughter, too, when it was just us two. Because, she got comfortable and we could have a good conversation about what was going on with her, without me ever bringing up the subject.

sancarlos

Darnold was also like 17 years old when they drafted him. I've decided I'm convinced a team can't be wrong that many times in the top rounds of the draft with different FOs each time, the org just ruins them. Except Wilson. When he was all uncomfortable in that video at the draft with the other top...

But you WANT to drive. Nobody in our house chooses to be the driver, so it’s an enticement.

IMHO, she looks hotter as herself.

We’ve always said that whoever drives gets to pick the music. So that expanded things when my daughter started driving. And narrowed things when I fucked up my shoulder, since my wife has to do all the driving now. (I don’t mind since I’m so dependent these days. I make up for it by playing my stuff...

The Raspberries were great. And, All by Myself was constantly on the radio in its day. Here’s another good Raspberries tune.
