The Swamp

I don't disagree with you guys and I fully see your points. I wouldn't criticize guys for sticking with what is great for them. But as just a bit of a counterpoint, it is also interesting to see a band stretch their wings, try new things, and grow. I'm glad the Beatles didn't stick to just doing son...

This thread sent me into a rabbit hole looking at images. Here are a couple favorites: If you ever take a trip to exotic Milwaukee, you automatically become a beer expert! https://kinoimages.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/4.jpeg The lighter side of WWII! http://www.smashingbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2...

Really? That's not all that funny.

I still enjoy the Marx Brothers, especially Groucho.

MTM was never a comedienne, per se. She was originally a dancer, then became an actress, notably in two successful TV comedies. So comparing her to sketch comediennes like Carol Burnett is apples and oranges.

Well, based on what he's done in less than a week in office, it appears that interest may be merited.

Wasn't that guy completely reviled on twitter awhile back for stealing jokes from other comics and posting them himself without attribution?

I know it's effective advertising when it makes want a Budweiser.

Everybody loved her in the MTM show, and the Dick Van Dyke show, but she was also great in Ordinary People.

Sure. I'd like to, but you'll probably be here again before I'll be there again.

So, Bill O'Reilly has a show focused on crime in Chicago, and now our toddler-in-chief is threatening to "send in the Feds" to Chicago "to stop the carnage". Hoo Boy.

No doubt. I was bragging about my kid recently in the Parent thread, but this sort of shit happens in my house, too.

I got ya. Just adding my "harrumph, harrumph" agreement.

I love early Rod Stewart/Faces. He went to shit in the late-70s, but I still love to listen to his first few solo albums, any Faces album, and also his stuff with the Jeff Beck Group. You guys can have your intellectual prog. I'll take gut-bucket bluesy rock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1upB5cG...

So, Trump killed Obama's Trans-Pacific Partnership today. Interesting, given that so many Republicans (such as Paul Ryan) have been free-traders, before this protectionist president took office. Will they reverse their previous stances to get in line for Trump?

Did anybody post this in the Trump thread?

The hard part with any Romo trade is not fitting Romo's salary in his next team's cap, it's squeezing $24 mil into Dallas' cap in 2017. The really hard part with any Romo trade is that he's a 36 year old, oft-injured, very brittle QB who hasn't played in 2 years and tends to have meltdowns in the p...

The salary cap is collectively bargained, and it is amazing that of the four major sports, the players in the most popular, most dangerous sport have the least player-friendly labor agreement.

Congrats!

The point is to allow for hope in small-market traditionally weak franchises. I don't want the NFL to be like the Premiership, where you probably have no shot if you don't have a spendthrift billionaire owner.

sancarlos

That's great.

Why do radio broadcasters of a football game feel compelled to tell us "the Packers' offense is moving right-to-left", or some such? It is really meaningless to a radio listener. (And, obvious to a tv viewer.)

fwiw, my wife regularly puts avocado in our salads.

Kind of funny related subject - if you ever see "California Burger" on a restaurant menu, it means it includes avocado.

More than a dozen distinct images of Bessie Smith. Some are album covers. (Maybe your filter is limiting the number?)

I put "Bessie Smith blues" into a bing search and got quite a few different images.

Nice, bfj. As long as we're bragging about our offspring, I'll note that I'm constantly amazed at my daughter. She was quietly tapping on here laptop for a long time one night over the holiday break. I asked her if she was chatting with friends. She said no, but since she had some free time, she dec...

And, i lived in the glow of the Super Bowl 50 champion Denver Broncos for a year. Back when they won their title, I'd have bet an awful lot of money that we'd be inaugurating a different president today.

I remember a bad dude getting shamed once after he admitted he thought it was legal to use Wiki. He doesn't do that anymore, but sometimes I wonder about some of you other gentlemen.

That is the kind of question that separates the wheat from the chaff. All the top teams get ones or twos, and all us mediocre teams get 6 or 12.

I've never seen (or heard) them, but just yesterday I read an article about them in the SF Chronic. Sounds like they're pretty avant garde.

Sorry, rass. But, maybe you'll look back on this as a real positive thing in her her development.
