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.

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.

Just because my baloon is beautiful

Gotta watch this-

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. )

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.

Sorry 'bout that. )

Awwwwwwww. She was a classic.

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.

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. )

Well ya hoped wrong - Go Dodgers!!

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.

I don't like spending too much time in this little corner of my brain... but holy fook are these guys good- your song reminded me of them, and you probably know them already... front to back, amazing band if you don't. Got to catch them live and chat- cool dudes and %*+#|•! obnoxiously good drummer

I'm soon to be quitting watching the Mets, once they get swept. Does that count? Go Dodgers!!!

So I says to the guy, this is one of my favorite Italian-Japanese bands - especially when they're in bull-fighting mode. And he says, 'Now look, Mister', and I says, 'Oh yeah

This is just... not quite on the level of 'Every Sentient Being Should Listen to John Prine' good, but it's close:

Josh Allen will never have another game where he's 9 of 30, and if he does, who cares- it's an absolute fluke. Allen was 9of 30 and we were tied- this is a good team.

I ***** love Dorian Williams

We're good enough to beat every single team out there.

Non-gay kisses across the internet to you, Ralonzo. ) ( I had the 80's Lakers and '88 Dodgers to let me know I wasn't a complete tard, but The Bills are far and away my everything in sports teams)

I'm going to vomit. )

I don't know that I've ever seen that many partial feet stay inbounds on any play ever

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!
