So you think they're just waiting until City gets enough points so they don't go negative when they get their deduction?

I have a ton of work to do, which is why I'm here posting the menu for where I'm eating tonight . Select your meal please. App, entree, dessert or any combo. I know I've been here once, but I don't remember what I ate. I'm going Brussel Sprouts, Steak Frites, and a Heavy Seas (I'm not a big fish/se...

I thought the rule was: pasta no, pasta salad yes.

Then there was the backlash against Bill being married to a woman of color with biceps. JFC.

I've been listening to Zappa's Hot Rats sessions box set. First Willie The Pimp as an instrumental is the fucking jam. Also, Shuggie Otis plays bass on Peaches en Regalia . Shuggie would later write Strawberry Letter 23 and the Brothers Johnson would make it a hit. Shuggie's albums are great. Here's...

As for the idea, I think we need an active Swamper draft lottery and then we get to pick an artist/album for the Swamp. Then we have threads about the artists and how we feel about particular albums.

Rush2112

The title hopefully says it all but whose entire catalog do you need to give a critical re-listen to for any number of reasons. I think I mentioned we did that at home with classic artists we'd never really listened to fully. Bowie became a staple, Neil Young I appreciate more, still don't get Dyla...

Don't worry, those of us who follow hockey will all pick the same guy. I think I recognize six or seven of them. But as chedda said, I’ll probably overthink it and score seven. I know my old-time goons. Very confident about that one. Sent and I watched the Habs a lot when the CBC was one of 3 chann...

My oldest might come out too. I found out her and a friend learned about the band and found the name funny and eventually a teacher had to tell them to shut up because they'd ask "Ms. _______, are you going to the Ween show this weekend" and shit too often. A teacher at my kid's elementar...

They play CO a lot. C'mon out. We'll drink some homebrew before we hit the breweries.

They are one of the best bands I have ever seen live.

Lots of Mario here too (it was our family theme) we had the wagon decorated as the Mariokart and had the sound effects from a walk through of the classic Mario playing as we walked around.

a fringe Canterbury Scene band. Man I dig that UK jazzy rock, but as Max told me, it's me and about 5000 middle-aged British men that know about this stuff.

Just finished season 2. I love Letterkenny, but I feel it's just great set pieces that have some story behind it, Shoresy is fucking great. It's Bad News Bearish in that you know they'll be successful, but the story is fantastic and they play homage to tropes and the smart humour of Letterkenny is t...

Treehouse is expanding again, this time building across the street from SPAC in Saratoga Springs.

This could go in the Culinary Hot Takes thread, but when ramen is good, ramen is goooooood . Yeah, I don't think that's a hot take. I feel like every strip center here has a nail salon, a vape shop, and some sort of ramen or pho place. There's a ramen place a mile or two from us. It is meh. There's...

I really enjoy these early afternoon MST Spurs games (the result (at present) is quite pleasing as well.)

Black Betty was reworked by a band formed out of the core of the Lemon Pipers (of Green tambourine fame) and then reworked under the Ram Jam featuring only one member.

Max knows my love for Supper's Ready , I didn't really know Gabriel / Genesis did prog until I went to college, then again my parents were folkies so all I'd heard was the pop stuff. I also fought listening to early Genesis because Gabriel is responsible for making us suffer through fucking Kate Bus...

Krapopolis isn't that bad. Is that an endorsement, or damning with faint praise? I'm not a huge Rick & Morty fan, but did love Community (like a top 5er of mine) so I checked it out because I love the voice talent. It may not have a lot of traction as some of the joke tropes will probably wear ...

there's no one of any national prominence or stature Sad that the only Dems of national stature are too young/inexperienced. 8 years of Obama just gave us retread candidates, and out of the current administration Kamala is basically a wet blanket and Sec Pete has nothing more than another little li...

Not sure it could be a TV show, but if coordinated right it could be a pretty good web-series (well the live version.)

Good game Rush. While I consistently put up the same basic number every week, this one actually felt pretty good because I thought this slate was pretty tough. Good game my man. What I hate about this game is that your first reaction is what everyone else thinks, but we all think that everyone else...

It’s mystifying to me that the Rams had a top-tranche uniform back in the day (think the Dickerson-Everett-Ellard years), and they actively chose to look like they do now. Pats fit this statement too. Pat the Patriot is freakin iconic, and the Flying Elvis is stupid. But the Flying Elvis has like a...

Also, When lays did those local flavors thing a few years ago, they had a biscuits and gravy flavor. It was weird and I realized that the whole idea of biscuits and gravy is better than the flavor.

Just applied for two jobs teaching technology and being a librarian at two close schools. I was a systems librarian (IT) at CU and taught for years before I went to library school. Summers off!
