The Swamp

North Dakota finally has a new nickname.

Not to get off-topic, but even if immigrants don't assimilate immediately to the degree or fashion many people think they could or should, their offspring almost always do. It's not really any different with Italian immigrants to the US 100 years ago. Most moved to parts of New York and the northeas...

Weird. They played our festival here and played their "normal" (or what I can only assume is their normal) set.

And I totally would have stayed for Gaslight Anthem, even if their last album wasn't that great.

Of course I should go, how else am I going to get Emily Haines to fall in love with me and sing me to sleep every night after making sweet, sweet love to her?

Saw them last month. Yes, yes you should.

ZING!

Or grandstanding for the benefit of low-information voters. (Almost definitely).

Saw the first one on twitter yesterday.

Your cease and desist letter is in the mail I assume.

I get the concern but it's a fair cry from InBev acquiring Goose Island and essentially turning its brands into the PBR of craft beer. Some of these moves shouldn't result in a diminishing of the product but could (in theory, at least hopefully) help a great brand increase its share and shelf space.

I didn't know the hall's history. That makes more sense than the band being targeted. It's not like EoDM are rare for having played Tel Aviv.

I assume that a reason the Eagles of Death Metal concert was targeted was because of the band's implied support of Israel. Last summer, they played a show in Tel Aviv. But, some time before that show, they were under pressure from artist supporters of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) ant...

Of course, the Lions broke the longest active road losing streak to one team yesterday so now the longest road losing streak to one team belongs to...the Lions. 12 straight losses to San Francisco going back to 1975. But they do play in San Francisco late in the season. If you go by number of years...

Because he has songs about how there ain't no god. End of list. It can't be that simple, is it? Seems awfully petty to me, if so... Nashville has an extremely narrow list of what constitutes "real" country music. If you're gay or an atheist or have a few songs that are too uptempo, etc., ...

Least surprising news ever.

Theyve tried to set up sharia courts here in canada. Both Ontario and Quebec have had to pass laws outlawing it. What would that even mean? For example a women would not be allowed to divorce even though she lived in Canada OK, but even in fairly liberal Canada they said "this is stupid"....

The immigrant experience, and the variety of choice of immigrant experience, is quite different in the UK, France and other countries than in North America. Frankly, the English and the French shit on muslim immigrants far more than even the US shit on immigrants. French racism is pretty bad. Compa...

I'll second Gram Parsons. Especially since I'm sure he'd be doing awesome combinations with Wilco and DBT and stuff.

By the way Ameer Abdullah's 104-yard KO return ties Percy Harvin as longest non-scoring play in football history. If you're into that kind of trivia.

That Lions game was almost quintessential Lions. Like if you wanted an alien life form to understand what it's like to be a Lions fan you could have just shown them that game.

I don't think there's just about anything worse in sports than bandwagon fans. Just saw about 12 Warriors "fans" jumping around and screaming for the entire fourth quarter and OT of the Nets game like it was Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Cmong dudes.

For reference Baylor just got fucked on a personal foul call about as bad as you can be fucked.

Usually his wife tours with him and plays fiddle but I missed her in August because she was eight months pregnant. It's a better show with her there musically and smokeshow wise.

Speaking of Mizzou, Pinkel retiring after being diagnosed with lymphoma. Wasn't he diagnosed early spring? I just find the his cancer as a way of getting out of this situation without looking terrible. Possible he thought he could coach while fighting it and discovered it to be too difficult. I'm g...

You can put carne adovada in the sopapilla. It's a win-win!

Shooting(s) in Paris, more than ten dead. Reports of three separate locations of gunfire, plus an explosion near the football stadium where France and Germany are playing a friendly, and President Hollandé was in attendance. Also a report of hostages taken at a concert hall. Very early reports, det...

stuffed sopapillas....

Its an elective franchise tag, more or less. Rasmus is a big winner here, its not like he was going to get $12MM per for 3 years if not for that 1st round pick. And the Braves ... man ... they're just tearing it all down, huh? In the most bizarre way the system worked here re: Rasmus. If he tears s...

Colby Rasmus becomes the answer to a trivia question.

Fucking hell. That's bad. And here I was about to get all wah wah because my assignment to Japan got cancelled because the Air Force is a bureaucracy with no one you can pin blame on. But yeesh. I'll wait a few days and post in the rants thread. Edit: Going to Kirtland, New Mexico. It was initially...

Thanks. Nowhere near as bad as Jerloma's week. It's all relative I guess. Just give your pups a treat tonight from me.

Sorry brian.

I never even got around to posting any happy pictures of his stupid goofy face here. (Thanks.)

phxgators worked with Solar City and I think he's still around and can hopefully share his experience. We discussed it a little (him and I) since solar is very prevalent here, but the numbers didn't really work for us. I'm hoping in a few years the economy of scale will shift so that actually purcha...

Our yellow lab, Larry, who we only got a couple of months ago had to be put to sleep today. Apparently his spleen burst or started bleeding overnight and we took him to the vet this morning, but there really wasn't much they could do for him. The vet speculated he has cancer and even if we could fix...

Wasn't it the Central when the Bucs won it?

Yeah, since the Bucs have never played in the NFC North, it would have been hard for them to win it.

It also pre-supposes that he was an addict and this wasn't a rare dalliance with drugs. (i.e. the Len Bias variable.)

Babers is your guy. He's going to be a great catch for a P5 school.

Considering the crazy offseason we had I'm good with playing meaningful games in November and hopefully 7 wins and a bowl game. With a senior QB poised to break most MAC passing records and most of the best defense in the MAC coming back should be a top competitor for the title next year.
