Today I learned that Santana's "Smooth" is the same song as Santana's "Corazon Espinado," and now I feel ripped off. "Mom, why's your middle name 'Corolla?'"

Your take is "suck for Luck" worked, it just didn't work because they didn't build a team? I'm not ducking the question, I'm ignoring it. The above pathetic excuse for a rationalization is why.

And how many Superbowls?

Make a prequel: Lord Cochrane and the Speedy vs. the Gamo. Problem is, it would be a completely unbelievable movie.

You're a halfwit aspiring to be an idiot.

You're an idiot.

It's not heafing back towards FL. If anything, it'll track farther out to sea than expected. There's a strong high-pressure ridge over the midwest, keeping Dorian from moving east. There's no sign of that weakening in the next 24-48 hours.

I want to see a sequel to Armageddon, where Rockhound is handling fame, survivor's guilt, and recurring space dementia while on the run from the loan shark.

Schindler's List. The survivors putting stones on his burial site always gets me. And Deadpool 2, of course.

People worry too much about "superstars." You need some...but on a successful team most of your team is going to be workman-like guys developed, coached, and playing to ten-tenths their ability. At most, these days, only 5 of your roster is going to be regular all-pros. Get that foundation established first, then go after those 5 all-pros, if you haven't drafted them already (e.g. Tre White.)

I have several Ryobi tools; they're definitely not high-end, but generally not all that bad, considering. Mostly, I use them to spare better tools (e.g. a Ryobi circular saw for cutting PT lumber, rather than use my Festool cabinet saw). I'd say they're fine for average home use, though. Except the contractor's table saw. That thing was downright dangerous. Spent an hour once trying to set up a cut without cutting my hand off, and ended up just throwing out the saw.

Reminder: fake hurricane coverage.

Blaming them for what, now? Has something bad happened that they should be blamed?

Sugar cane was actually so profitable that they'd work the slaves to death and import new ones rather than feed them.

Jamaica was far better known for privateering than slavery. So she was probably a pirate. (Actually, she married a Jamican, she's originally from India. I'm still going with "pirate.")

I just realized why I can't get a government research grant: I'm too ***** intelligent.

Forget the presidency, I want this guy as UN Ambassador.

Of the first 1000 "slaves" brought to Virginia: 1) 998 of them were white, 2) None of them were slaves. They were indentured servants, who became free men within 7 years of working off their indenture.

I've been doing that, off and on, for twenty years on different topics. Although half the time, I won't say to myself "No *****," but instead "In accordance with the prophecy."

What, she couldn't go "Wilhelm Canaris" or "Klaus von Stauffenberg?"

Is it then used by members of the New Democratic Party to intimidate and threaten Conservatives in to silence?

Then how do you know?

BREAKING NEWS: President is a ***** meteorologist. Who cares?

Yes, it does, but fortunately she lost the election.

Central pressure is 911mb. That's a hell of a storm, approaching Gilbert/Camille bad.
