I miss that part of life. I'm about the worst capitalist on this planet- but I still want an e-type Jaguar, and *****-yeah Perer Gunn and this is just great- -
All roads lead to Putin
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to BillStime's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The Nuge!!! I think we need a 'centrist' party in this country, a third party if you will. Not a far left party, not a far-right party, just a damn party looking out to make the middle-class the most important part of American aspirations. -

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to BillStime's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Well, I'd say that you referring to the United States' obvious enemies as, 'they' is a decent start. If we have to start at, 'which countries are out to challenge our democracy', so be it. -

Oh Jeebus. Trump sucked their twigs while they sharpened their fangs. Stop being a rube- you seem way too smart for that. -

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to BillStime's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
That's funny because I just watched Western firepower absolutely decimate everything the Iranians, who are supplying Putin, flung at Israel. The US military was a part of that... and even Jordan and Saudi Arabia. I'd have to imagine 'weak old Biden' signed off on that resounding success, no? So with whom is the US weak nowadays- Russia and China, and exactly how in your estimation? Maybe we'd be stronger if we cow-towed to the next Kim Jung *****? Deeldo... thank you autocorrect... -
Mostly sorta back on topic... thinking about Dark Side made me wonder about common sounds/feels between some Floyd albums over about a 6 or so year span. One of These Days has a similar feel to other albums, so I was checking out which albums Alan Parsons Produced. Turns out he Produced exactly zero Pink Floyd albums. Well, now you know. I liked this article- a bit of stuff I've always wondered about, and a bit of stuff I never knew about https://longreads.com/2020/09/03/shelved-pink-floyds-household-objects/

Bad car! My brother bought his off some German tourists who got it to road trip across the US- I think they were fellow skydivers he met at his drop zone (my bro's a nut haha) I was 16 at the time and he was going to just give me the car, but my folks wouldn't let me have it! %#***%ng Ralph Nader SuperCool cars! Shoot- now I'm thinking I want to get one. hmmm

My older brother took me on a ride down Pacific Coast Highway in his '63 Corvair convertible and bought me The Doors as my first CD- I'd gotten a Sharp CD boombox a day or two before- that thing was a tank... and many thanks to my brother- great day! On Floyd, I'm more of a Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict fan, myself. )

Diggs traded to Texans for picks
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think we're basically saying the same thing. I finished with saying I'd like to see him going after the more solid picks over chasing the windmills. One thing, which I think gets overlooked in scouting when compared to 'potential' and 'athletic talent' is spatial awareness. There's no measure, but it can be spotted, and those are the players who'll be in the league for a long time. And put an emphasis on those who expect to win. -

I'm more a fan of the emotional side of football, but I get the way Beane played GM on this one. All of it was a gamble because we could have had JJ, but getting a proven NFL stud on a career-prime deal, helping your young QB with a known quantity, and only dropping 20 or so spots years later to do it is icy-smart. It won't always work, and we have zero SB appearances to show for it, but it's still good math. Whatever he does with the draft, etc., I really want to see an emphasis on spatial awareness and longevity- I'm kinda tired of the lotto tickets. -
The 60's Music... or Crazy Purple Things

I don't trust Mark Zuckerberg, and commerce in general, to not completely screw this up (and copyright the screwed up experience), but one of these days there's going to be a Woodstock Experience Simulator. -

I mean, good call on starting this with Sagat. I think he's absolute garbage, but I appreciate your fond memories- nobody can take those from you. I'm basically not very good at cheese- I identify cheese, and it's pretty well locked out for good, but there are exceptions, and the Enchanted Water Show at Enchanted Forest (somewhere around Salem, Oregon) is one of them. To place the scene, you walk into the most budget-friendly food option of Oregon's finest amusement park. The park is based on non-copyrighted fairytales- think, Old Mother Hubbard and Humpty Dumpty. Beyond some crazy ish, it's got a very respectable log-ride, tiny but fun coaster and a bad-ass haunted house. Everything about it is terrible... except, it's not- it's kinda fun having to crawl though the various nursery rhymes... Without a doubt, though, the worst attraction in the park has got to be the Enchanted Water Show... except it's my favorite thing there. ) So you walk into the cheapest place to eat in the park and get your mediocre burger, served by very sweet pimply folks, and sit down for the entertainment- with your packets of French's mustard in hand. I've only been here as an adult, but I'm just somewhere between blown-away, and in love

First time I have ever heard my computer "pop"
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to Punching Bag's topic in Off the Wall
This isn't going to help your cause at all, but it cracked me up. My buddy Dave had a PC on the fritz for months. It finally hit its last gasp and the screen just said, "dewawble". That was it. It died telling us its final thought. -

Somewhere around 1990 I got to see Roger McGuinn guest artist at a Tom Petty show at the Pacific Amphitheater. The show was already fantastic, then the 'special guest star' shows up onstage... McGuinn with Petty!! He's got his 12 string Rickenbacker and they bust this one out, straight out of the gate
