The Swamp

I'm still watching the American Experience doc on W and most of the history they show are interviews form his former associates talking about a talented, charismatic guy, not ready for foreign affairs, being guided by 2 awful people, Rumsfield and Cheney, and stupid Bush following along with whateve...

They are talking about reopening day care centers in Massachusetts in June at very low capacities to make social distancing possible (which sounds impossible with kids), but the entire industry is based on getting good enrollment -- fewer kids, fewer jobs. I'm just having a tough time envisioning wh...

So when I think I'm near the bottom of a bottle, I go to finish it and then I realize I wasn't as close to the bottom as I thought, even though I make this mistake every damn time, and I will get through this Jim Beam, so I can move on to other drinks.

EdRomero

Damn. When I saw this thread pop up again, I was hoping it was about Big Cat playing NCAA 2014 Football on Twitch. Coach Duggs!

I'm watching the American Experience George W Documentary and the overall Repub strategy that's working is liberals/Democrats (and it is the same in many voters eyes no matter how right a Democrat goes) suck. Doesn't matter who the candidates are or what they say

Seinfeld has kids (and he dated one)

What's the deal with hot takes?

EdRomero

So what made Seinfeld better than all the other shows revolved around a stand-up taking the lead? Was it Seinfeld? Larry David being behind the scenes helping a lot is a given, but being with an all-time great comedian actress helped a lot too. Maybe compare him to Gary Shandling. Shandling was very...

I think Dreyfus is amazing but I think her wings probably spread on the new adventures of old Christine. She wasn’t really pushed that much on Seinfeld. Talented but she was at best third wheel in that show and you can make a big argument for fourth. HOT TAKE Steaming Hot! Kramer became a grating p...

Man, if BJ Armstrong didn't talk trash after beating the Bulls in game one of round two, there's no way the Bulls would have been motivated to beat the Hornets.

EdRomero

Yeah. Young Shaq with Penny and Horace was a great team, and Hakeem was a legendary all-time great those seasons they won, and I think even with Jordan they Bulls would struggle to beat the Rockets. Hell, I remember the bulls struggling to contain a broken Kevin McHale in the early 90s. Hakeem would...

EdRomero

Francona being Jordans manager is just perfect.

The two guys from the 90s I always think of as underappreciated is Barkley and Gary Payton.

EdRomero

All my 80s and 90s opinions are coming back. Horace doing more than Rodman. Barkley pulling down 14 rebounds a game while scoring a lot much more impressive than Rodman getting more rebounds but not carrying an offense, the stupidity of the Celtics trading away Ainge, The Pistons and Riley's Knicks ...

EdRomero

The Horace Grant Bulls were better than the Dennis Rodman Bulls.

From a discussion in the Netflix thread, I think he's a fascinating person to examine. He struck gold getting to work with Larry David and Julia Louise Dreyfus (and to a lesser extent, all the other people associated with the show). As much as I loved his shows, my opinion of him has drastically gon...

Damn. Jerry Remy is not very healthy.

I'm struggling with the definition of minor characters, but Frank Constanza has to be one of the best recurring minor characters of all time.

EdRomero

By the last season, I was basically hate watching Coffee and Cars. The good episodes were when people challenged him basically saying what the fuck is wrong with you. Wish I could remember more specifics, but there was some special where Seinfeld went on; he didn't bomb but he wasn't good either. Th...

Why couldn't a bar be open? Say you have a 20 foot bar with three stools. Then 5 tables for two spaced apart. One masked bartender, one masked waitress. One cook in the back.

As for anxiety, the Covid virus affecting children in NYC with this new mystery disease has potential to cause some insanity.

I read that the South African government banned the sale of alcohol and tobacco during the quarantine. The level of anger and desperation must be off the charts. I've seen studies that showed that lack of access to alcohol is just as bad as not as it relates to domestic violence. Maybe it's not rea...

That really sounds like the elevator pitch for a great teen comedy. "During a quarantine, a girl has to get back to her sorority house to smuggle out a massive supply of booze before Dean Wormer and his minions find out." And her dad's internet friend offers to sneak into the sorority &qu...

It's slightly complicated in that she has a lot of hooch and she's worried about getting busted for that. Unless it's kilos of coke or heroin, I don't think she's getting in trouble.

Yes, Lillywhite got fucked over by them, which made his return in 2012 surprising, and the bad aftermath afterwards not surprising

EdRomero

I think Lillywhite takes too much credit for the band's success*, and the proof was his return to record Away From the World in 2012. Fans were so excited about his return, yet when it came out it was a continuation of the "new" DMB you don't like (and a step down from the Big Whiskey Albu...

Stefan Lessard and Steve Lillywhite got into a twitter fight last night over the Lillywhite Sessions.

Never knew it had a name. Those are tasty, even w sugar free ginger ale (in my case).

We were zooming with our 5th graders trying to figure out cool year-end stuff to do for them and asked if there were any questions. A student asked when she could get back into the school to get her stuff. It was a reminder of how sudden this was for everyone, especially kids who who don't pay atten...
