The Swamp

I only remember a little of my high school Spanish but doesn’t Malo Gusto translate to something like “I like to be bad”? Google translate says that it means "Bad Taste" Which is hilarious Yup. My son loves that. He's gonna be really good though. Hell, he's already quite good at 20, but h...

What's the o/u on people inspired to convert based a creepy 30 second ad of washing people's feet? I'd love to know their thought process on creating this campaign. I will say this, when I saw the ad live, I automatically looked for overt bigotry and was pleasantly surprised to see them including f...

BTW, whenever I see Walsh, I picture him as his character in Raising Arizona - forever chewing gum and talking incessantly at work.

I watched it again last night as well. It's certainly not as polished as later Coen works, but it kind of gets better and better as it goes along. Definitely a slow, but satisfying burn. I didn't really care for some of M Emmet Walsh's acting - his random laughing seemed forced - but otherwise he an...

I sent a congrats to a former coworker after LinkedIn told me it was his 4-year anniversary at Meta. He used to work for me as a developer at a small company where he was underpaid. We were chatting about how he's thinking of leaving. He casually mentioned that he's now making 6X what he was making...

Hey oh!

Conor Fucking Gallagher

Need to convince him that every opponent is Crystal Palace.

We forgive you for not being white and straight like us. But let's wash that shit off to be sure.

I can confidently answer three of those questions, I believe. Educated guesses for another 3-4.

Anyways, the weather didn't cooperate, but got to see some amazing goals and some pretty great hits. I don't have some big take away other than: UVA's offense is REALLY difficult to defend. I thought M did a poor job of figuring out the pretty obvious picks and about half a dozen goals game off of ...

UVA just signed the #1 player in the 2025 class, Brendan Millon. His older brother, McCabe Millon was also the #1 player in his class and is now a first-year at UVA. While two brothers each being #1 in the country is amazing enough, I learned that their parents are BOTH in the lacrosse hall of fame...

I know (f)art is subjective, but that song really sucks.

Man I was kicking ass there (for me) until the last three questions. Pretty shocked that neither Borderline nor pig were correct answers.

I can't find it now of course, but there was a video I saw the other day where the husband was so proud of the fart that his wife ripped while they were chilling in the living room. Have you seen the video of Tom Segura's mom farting? Woman has skills. Now I have! https://youtube.com/shorts/DuTNBcj...

I split the entertaining bad concert talk to its own thread. It deserves it.

We might be back.

My Twitter tonight was completely dominated by the Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs rendition of Fast Car and I love it. It's rare that we can all come together to be wowed by a particularly spectacular piece of art. Good for her. I loved her debut. Played it a lot delivering pizza. IMO yet another cas...

New spate of spammers. I purged some accounts and replaced our enrollment questions. Usually that shuts them up for a while.

Oh man. Good luck.

Sorry, what's going on here? Was this a spam post that was replied to?

I’ve been beating this drum for 20 years but it seems to be becoming more mainstream but yes Jackie Brown is vastly superior to Pulp Fiction.

I wouldn't say that, but they're different enough styles that I get preferring one over the other.

Exactly. I'm more than a little surprised that they haven't fixed that since it's been x.com for quite a while now. Just goes to show that phpbb ain't exactly the most popular of boards these days.

Done. Let me test to see if the new Media Embed extension supports x.com links ...

Update: It does not. Let me look into that...

Backing up the DB is taking longer than I thought. I'll do the update later today when it's done. I'll update our extensions as well, including the media extension.

Chelsea.

I'm going to update our phpbb version here in a few minutes. You might notice the site down for a bit. Hopefully just a bit...

The UNC-Duke game in the Dean Dome was incredible. Such a great atmosphere. The Dome is famous for not being quite as boisterous and loud as some other top arenas, but that's not true at all when Duke is in the building. That was a ton of fun.

I watched Jackie Brown for the first time last night. Not sure why I never saw it before. As I knew it would be, it was great! I had no idea Robert De Niro was in it. And man, Sam Jackson was an absolute tour-de-force in this one. Honestly, it might be his best work. Not sure why didn't get an Osca...

Had to Google Abhkazia, so I learned something today. Still gonna delete that account before too long.

Don't know if I'll watch it live with y'all, but I'll try to get a rewatch in before then. I've seen this one once, many years ago. It's not one of their absolute bests, but it's still quite good. BTW, while No Country may be the Coen's "best" movie, Raising Arizona will always be my favor...

When I watched that Browns-Broncos video posted in the Swampcrash thread, I got his ad with Gronk. I had just seen the notice of his death like 10 minutes earlier. I see dead actors.

I've fantasized about watching all of the Coen Bros movies before, so I'd be in! I've thought about similar director journeys (e.g. Scorsese), but I think the Coens might be the most fun. There are still a few of theirs that I've never seen. A lot of what some people consider their “lesser” works (...

Man, fantasies really do get worse as we age...

true

I like the suggestion of scheduling a due date. Like, give folks a week and say watch it by this day (one-ish week out) and we'll start discussing the next day.

Damn. That was pretty cold.

Or a volume control.
