Hmm, I thought it was this one.

Hmm, where have I heard a version of this story before? Hint: rhymes with rchard arc

Early in this season I envisioned a 9ers Bills SB and I was glad. But now? Who wants to see a game where 300 points are scored, everyone gets injured and it ends in a tie? (Of course I am aware that it cannot but it would be so on brand.)

Exactly. I thought that until recently he had stopped being interested in playing football several seasons ago.

CoS was an album that Rush made for Rush -- in spite of their best intentions. As someone who's made music for 30+ years (writing tunes, gigging, touring, mixing, engineering, etc), it's easy to fall into that trap. But what surprises me more about CoS is that they followed up with... 2112, and that 2112 resonated with people. 2112, for whatever reason, is weird and wonderful in ways that CoS isn't.

I read here that the problem is jetlag.

I remember this game slightly, slightly meaning that I remember bits and pieces of it, because I ended up with a concussion. I distinctly remember Flutie running into the end zone FTW, and jumping up off my couch in delight. Unfortunately I'm 6'6" and my ceilings were around 7' in my old, old house at the time. I hit my head on a beam, causing massive damage to the sheet rock that covered it. The rest, as my former neighbors told me, was them just checking in to say hi, an ambulance ride and an ER trip, and (by their telling) brain fog for several days. Solid win tho. HAHA!

What is this... an airplane for ants?! This airplane should be at least 3 times its size. </zoolander>

Great thread, OP (that wasn't sarcasm). Coaching still kind of concerns me, and I'm being low key with this remark. Could this team win the SB this year? Yes. Could this team finish .500 or less this year? Yes. Going into this season I'm just feeling cautious. You go from 17 years of (wrongly) talking yourself into thinking that EJM and others of his ilk would QB this team into the playoffs to two years of utter letdowns. This team is really good, but it's also got its warts. That's the tough part to reconcile going into this season.

Maybe it was already said (busy day for me today), but I just Schatz my pantz.

Maybe it got lost in the ether. I know that I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the Executive Summary. HAHA.

I guess I don't understand one's pathology -- where they are so hellbent on being right that they just can't help themselves from keepin' on keepin' on.

So very true. That's the same reason I had to put the kibosh on my subscription to "The Economist". Couldn't keep up, too expensive, and ended up in the recycling.

Did they already cover this in OTW?

Same here, pretty much, well except that it's not me who's been subscribing, but my dad, and I think that I've almost talked him into stopping his subscription. The paper version of the BN -- not that I've ever mistaken the BN for the NYT in the 45 years that I've been reading it, and not that I ever wanted BN to be the NYT -- is woeful. The Sunday edition, something that I used to look forward to, is *rolls eyes*. Very interesting thread here otherwise. Been a long offseason for the lot of us, or so it would seem.

True dat. My wife saw them in Portland (Maine) at Thompson's Point on 7/3. I wish that when she asked if I wanted to see the show that I said to get me a ticket. Her video footage on her phone, and her response after the concert -- confirms what you wrote. It was beautiful and moving, and my god can that Plant guy still sing!

Your office has all of the necessary elements. Well done!

Alas! From Wegman's in Niagara Falls. Walked the aisle, was hoping for some kind of Warsaw Experience, or something Walesa branded -- yet saw no one.

Yeah, it was that bad. For four years. XXV, great played game, well outside of not maintaining TOP. Oh, and Ottis. Goddamn. Redskins ugh. Cowboys I was a living abortion. Cowboys II was totally on brand. Bills showed up, bumble*****ed their way into losing, then lost again.

I am super familiar with Blackrock given my nearly 30 years in tech. Let's hope that they don't want to invest in another submersible.

Because he wasn't EJM. Otherwise, and let's go back to the playoff game (17 years!!!!!!!), and he was terrible.

Frederick's. I hear that they're from Hollywood, so what could possibly go wrong when you end up speaking at a conference in a camisole?

This is awesome news. Congratulations!

Yeah, NYT had a similar article this morning. Apparently the CEO referred to the company internally as "SpaceX of the sea". Their whole business model was to sell tickets to the wealthy (nothing wrong with that, of course), and provide these boutique experiences. Initially the price was $100k +/-, where the actually number represented -- get this -- the original price of a first class ticket on the Titanic, but was adjusted for inflation. You just can't make this stuff up.
