  1. So I totally have got finding early Who to getting me through so much, but this band was pretty bad- I'm throwing out a Sonic Youth block in order of something: This chick named Jane played this song for me. We were sitting in some trees at Yosemite
  2. This is what bad looks like, and I will continue to be bad no matter, Oh, how much you all want to call in to, 'The View'
  3. Old man says you don't read very gud. I love how the popular vote is suddenly significant- very thoughtful of the entirely outvoted delusional-right to finally recognize that the majority of the vote means something. Convenient, almost. I only expect policies that are good for the United States if they are also good for Donald Trump. Time for Y'all to snap out of whatever else you're thinking, cause it ain't gonna happen.
  4. I would if you idiots hadn't elected
  5. This reads as, "I have no frame of reference." We need those nuns with their @&$"ing rulers back.
  6. Look at you already glowing in divisiveness. It's not rage, it's the truth as I see it. I get the backlash against immigration, legal and illegal- I get it- I've seen enough of the world to have the concepts. What I don't get is this draw towards wannabe authoritarianism. Trump is a wannabe, there's no way around it. And now that you've bought the farm, it's on you to till the soil... to preserve all that we know and idealize as America... or were you thinking every problem would just 'go away', which is more what I suspect.
  7. And it's now on you, you Trump-sucking pricks to keep this ####### in line. You bought him, you love hime, and now you need to make sure we have a reasonable society and democracy coming out the other end. I doubt you can do that, because you strike me as a bunch of listless pussies.
  8. This is not something to celebrate- all of this is a national tragedy. This is a dark, sh!tty day for America.
  9. Are you too f#%^ing stupid to read the part where I said I don't like Harris?
  10. Our next President is a paranoid egomaniac, who can't put together a cohesive thought, and is 40 years past making people pretend they lost to him in a round of golf. What he does best is publicize himself. What he can now best do for this country is get out of the damn way and cheat at golf with his friends.
  11. Oh my god, this self-serving egomaniac sold our nuclear secrets. to the highest bidder. In no way, shape or form is this nation, or its people 'better off'. I don't like Harris, but this is a world-history tragedy. He's a f#%^*ing dimwit, by the way. Anyone with sense and power can see that.
  12. Just a story- not meant to answer the OP's pressing question... Somewhere around maybe 2007 while I was living in SF and before the tech invasion had gutted that town, I was hanging out on a weekend afternoon with a couple gals in my building, and we decided to catch a drink or 2 at a locals dive. It was a good Saturday, just laughing and getting a bit plastered. At some point a guy named Paul shows up and decides he'd like to join us. Paul hung out in my neighborhood from time to time and was an ok enough guy, entertaining enough but not someone I went out of any way to hang around too much- just someone on my periphery. He was stupid rich- a couple years prior he'd sold some tech company for 200 million, and was working on the next one to sell off. I didn't give a crap about the tech world (still don't) and he developed stuff around data mining, so, well, I've never been too impressed by legalized thievery- but he was alright in his own way and I know somebody else woulda done it if he hadn't. Anyway, he joins us- I'm not sure what he'd been up to that day, but the 3 of us were at least 80% in the bag at that point- then he asks if we want to go grab a bite to eat... he knows this great restaurant in Pacific Heights... 'so much better than Gary Danko... nobody goes to Gary Danko anymore'. That was a very true statement, in fact I didn't go there so much anymore that I'd never gone in the first place. Well, sure, why not. So he drives us across town in his custom built BMW with 200 cylinders, bomb-resistant windows, and seats with adjustable crotch-holders... something like that. It took 'em a year to build it after he visited the design team to get everything just oh so right, he said. And they had. Despite being heavier than a Humvee with full armament, that sucker flew! Anyway, we arrive at the restaurant, and with Paul we were now in a category which went beyond any dress requirements. Not that we were total slobs, but suffice it to say we'd left our dining attire at home. The girls were super-cute by nature at least, but me, I just has to rely on my rugged masculinity. Frankly, I'm not entirely sure of anything we had to eat, but I do remember the wine. After the staff greets us all with an effusive appreciation for our presence, we get seated. The waiter says they still have a few bottles of Paul's favorite '74 Bordeaux, so we start there. Yeah, that was a 4 grand bottle, and I did my absolute damndest to savor... and at least understand what I was drinking. I'm still an equal opportunity alcohol swiller, but I definitely know more about wine now than I did back then. Add in the previous probably 5+ Irish whiskeys and certainly more than one beer, and oh I'm sure I just didn't get it. I think Paul wanted to save the remaining '74's for another night, so we switched to the cheap stuff- the 1978's at about 2 grand apiece. 2 of those and he had himself an 8 grand wine tab plus god knows what for food. I had a decent job, paid the apartment rent and left enough for quite a bit of entertainment, so in fairness I completely left the bill on him. I didn't even pretend I could be of any use with that one. ) Now that I'm older and wiser, and to answer the OP- the wine tab should be higher than the food tab. ) Hit a grand a meal- they'll be less frequent, but so much more special that way.
  13. Just because my baloon is beautiful
  14. As a Dodgers fan- with a capital D, and an s at the end, I'd like to say that I'm only insufferable when we play the Padre and Giant... and the Cardinals most of all. Except for when we play the stinking, cheating Astros and BoSox, and absolutely most of all the Los Angeles California Angels of Anaheim. Idiots don't even know where they exist. It may seem odd, but I hate the Cardinals most of all. check the history I am also somewhat insufferable around waking up with dog slobber, on the wrong side of the bed, bad coffee, mediocre pizza, mediocre Mexican, and mediocre Italian food from places I generally consider reliable, ill functioning toilet paper, snobby people, and toothpaste that doesn't live up to its advertised whitening power also piss me off. Overproduced music, cold-shipped fruits and vegetables which will never ripen to taste like anything they're supposed to (I'm looking at you Avocados from Mexico), and traffic cameras. When my girl is a pain in the ass, my dog bites the other one, my cat puts his claw through my lip... that's just love in action... crazy world, but it's kinda true. Just for a frame of reference, try being a Dodgers fan living in SF during the Bonds / SF championship days - those people are nuts in how much they hate the Dodgers (not kidding). Oh sure, I'm still alive, but it's only because those animals wanted it that way- I have to type every post with the tip of my tongue nowadays- kidding, but there were some close moments with those idiots. Walk off Grand Slam and a 5 run comeback- it took all that to shape the series... and the game 1 thing is massively reminiscent of Kirk Gibson's series- altering, and really world-altering HR. Sometimes things happen like that- thankfully it seems to be in the Dodgers favor as a fan. Nice series Yankees fans, really not kidding - Judge sucked, defense had issues, but none of that is true beyond a moment in time - until we meet again. It's Time For Dodger Baseball. )
  15. I always liked him as a poster- he was a part of the human fabric that binds us all together. Scott, thank you for caring.
  16. Awwwwwwww. She was a classic.
  17. I just said the same in markedly fewer words. Please, do tell us about what the Bills do on defense that is pretty well established, though.
  18. I'd like to think we're seen as a powerhouse and teams are bringing their absolute A-game at us... until we inevitably kick the snot out of them. yeah, I'll go with that. )
  19. If we can put Bass on the PS, I'd say sign him and put him in there this week! If he flails oh well, bring Bass back up. If someone signs Bass, we'll figure it out.
